Illegal amplifiers are detected by imperial psykers and pisses off the Empire, who send strong raids against you with good equipment. A fair chunk of their equipment is biocoded and/or protected by death acidifiers, so you won't get easy early-game LMGs by doing this. You can also stay "neutral" by hiding your illegal psykers with a psionic silencer implant that prevents detection by the empire, but causes constant pain in the colonist who has it. This lets you have a psyker but also not piss off the empire. The advantage of doing this is if you untick the "accept imperial favor" option at the bottom left of the quests tab, the empire will offer pretty good quest rewards instead of imperial favor, which you don't need since you're not trying to advance a noble. This is probably the easiest option for those planning to build a starship instead of escape via political favors.

FairyNuff posted:Pretty sure you can just assign them to a zone that exclude your farming area? Honestly can't remember if this vanilla or a mod but it seems like it'd be basic functionality. They were wild muffalo. I did already learn how to deny certain areas to my own animals because I had a friendly pet muffalo wandering into the freezer, the kitchen, the bedrooms...

The Bramble posted:I haven't actually built one yet, so maybe the answer is obvious when you do, but can throne rooms be multipurpose? Is sticking a throne in a spacious room where my pawns normally eat meals and use recreation items going to work, or does it need to be its own thing? If anyone is still wondering I tested this and throne rooms can be multipurpose. My noble can recline in comfort and watch TV alongside her peasants in the throne/rec/dining room.

Gonna make a rebel colony staffed by the imperial guards that show up to kill us after they've gone through the re-education camps. There will be two tiers of colonists - ex-empire, and Rimmers.

I did this route and it does basically give you a 10+ mood illegal psyker but there's one little downside that can trip you up. Even though your masochist loves the pain, they're still feeling it so they're basically a wimp now in that they're like 60% of the way to their pain threshold so very minor wounds can incapacitate them. I found the painblock psy ability which works well to keep them walking during a fight but be cautious about that otherwise.

I was still wondering, thank you! Here's another question - is there a way in either vanilla or a simple mod that restricts food quality certain pawns are allowed to consume? Like to prevent prisoners and commoners from eating lavish meals, for example.

The Bramble posted:So what exactly happens when you install a psionic amplifier illegally? And is the only mechanical upside to it not having to deal with the needs of the nobility? I think powers that you are not offically rated for have a percentage chance each time you use to piss off the empire. Also what are the turret changes? Besides the new ammo reqs.

Mini turrets now fire a burst of 2 instead of 3. Autocannon turrets got their damage halved from 40 to 20, effectively far more than halved since their armor penetration ALSO got halved from 60% - 30%, at the same time a new higher-than-marine-armor tier of power armor was introduced. Uranium Slug turrets got damage MORE than halved from 75 to 30, armor penetration reduced from 112% to 70%, range decreased from 50 to 40, now shorter than sniper rifles. All turrets have 20% less hp. All turrets cost more to reload. The new smoke launchers enemies use also completely disable turrets as well, turrets will not even attempt to fire at targets in smoke.

Turrets are pretty great landmines/traps. Have a turret right behind a wall so that raiders will come in and instantly melee/shoot the turret, blowing up the first wave.

Pretty expensive more like. Don't get me wrong, landmines are great, but what makes a good landmine is a landmine. Turrets have smaller explosions and aren't even guaranteed to explode upon death.

OwlFancier posted:You can, but only if you own them. If you have wild animals and are growing outside your perimeter wall then yes, animals will come and eat your poo poo, and fence mods are good for that reason, if not also because they look nice. They're also good for forcing your pawns to use paths. Oops I was so tired I didn't even think about wild animals. The best way to ensure nothing wild eats your crops is to kill everything wild that even looks at a potato. Although the fence mod is nice if you have a bit of an open base. Mzbundifund posted:Oof turrets got so nerfed this patch. They're really REALLY hard to justify now. Might be worth looking in the Vanilla Furniture Expanded - Security mod as it seems pretty balanced and has decent base defense stuff.

Finally got around to buying this game. Started out vanilla as recommended and I'm into late summer. Game is good. I feel like I haven't screwed anything up too badly yet. Mining my base out of a hill rather than using an abandoned structure maybe wasn't the greatest idea, but I'm a bit too far in to move it now. Fortunately I'm about to recruit my first prisoner, who can take over building for my cook and hunting for my researcher/doctor, which will free up some time to dig. I definitely underestimated the amount of storage I would need, though. Also I assumed all this time that the warg I got at the start was just a useful flavor item, so I've just been letting it wander around and murder small animals

Discussion Quorum posted:Finally got around to buying this game. Started out vanilla as recommended and I'm into late summer. Game is good. It takes daily pawn labor and food, but you can set the warg to train guarding to turn your animal handling pawn into a much better melee character. Little more training and he can release ol puppers to go a murderin. Lil more training and he'll haul poo poo for you. There's like two ways to get to these menus, you can click on Oogie or find him in the animal tab.

If they are going to nerf traps they need to make recruitment/fighting easier. Right now losing a pawn is a huge deal and replacing them can be difficult/up to rng. Also while I'm at it I hate explosives, if you don't notice one guy with a nade or rocket launcher you are bound to lose several people especially if you can't turret them as well.

The turret changes may be in part due to the fact that psy powers are OP as gently caress. I haven't gotten any of the really high level ones but I can either chain stun 1-2 pawns or teleport one pawn every few seconds. I plan on building a field of traps to teleport melee attackers into. Ranged will get either teleported into melee or into the middle of a pack of pissed off wargs if I can ever manage to tame any.

I'm curious how that will hold up once you get to the point where you've got loving armies coming in. Even a lot of the super broken Rimworld of Magic bullshit powers outside of the mass AoE stuff stopped being relevant once you reached a certain raid strength because loving over a couple of pawns is irrelevant when they've got 70 guys behind them.

On the other hand, the mass AoE stuff was super broken as well and pretty ubiquitous by the time big raids really got going. "A 70 man raid? Oh nice, maybe my max level Fire Storm won't be a complete overkill for once."

Winter is real rough. I was expecting the crops to die but wasn't expecting the animals to disappear and a bunch of the trees dying. Do you guys think tribal or standard is the better starting scenario? I tried both and I like that tribal starts you out more from scratch, but I wonder if maybe the difficulty curve gets hurt by that, especially since I'm still learning the ropes.
