It fits. You hunger for more detail in the square because it's legendary and so beautiful. But no matter how hard you wish this legendary work --- a rare occurrence in it's own right --- had more detailing befitting it's rank that's all you get. A simple style in the form of a square, leaving the user hungering for more. That's some top tier trolling through post-modern art, right there.   Best part is that it has 2000 beauty so no one would think to be angry about it if they saw it and realized the joke. It's basically the artistic equivalent of a masterfully done forums shitposting spree. Archonex fucked around with this message at 10:02 on Mar 6, 2020 |

Now that things have settled a bit, are mods requiring the DLC for their updated versions?

In particular I can imagine that the unavailable royal titles will be of interest. Especially with the Empire mod that lets you make NPC settlements your faction owns. Ditto for bionic mods.

are bionic genitals in the base game now or did that get added by Royalty, because that will answer your question I think e: I am never leaving the house again

None of the old mods being updated require Royalty. Whether or not any new mods get developed will require it, I'm not sure.

I've been exploring early-midgame combat and making defense buildings and also the ai pathing/behaviour. And I feel like my defenses are far from what's considered to be tried&true so give me your thoughts on pillboxes/firing positions and defenses in general As advised itt I made walls around most of my base to limit the angle of attacks. I funnel everything to the north-east side of my base which has four bunkers and two openings as of now  This is the bunker "template" I came up with and it's very much geared towards stopping melee enemies as I was surprised to find out that they just charged over the sandbags of my first design. I figured a fallback position inside the bunker made sense to safely pull someone out but I should probably also include some furniture for mood buffs? And I feel like I'm using the wall+sandbag combo wrong in some way. Like my colonists seem to have a very limited field of fire if they stand behind the wall tiles and if I put them behind bags they seem to step out into the bag tile to shoot. The field of fire seems to improve dramatically but I assume their defense drops a lot except agianst some specific angles? And it's sorta required to build chokepoints with traps that funnel into sight of your firing positions, right? Otherwise bigger groups of enemies just overwhelm my shooters too quickly. I mean I'm still on bolt rifles so that's probably the main thing here but I still feel like cheesy trap+chokepoint combos are the way to go in general

In your example there in any one raid only 2 or 3 traps are going to be triggered, the rest are just a waste of resources.

Respect to the bear that wandered through one of the two insect caves on my map and beat the poo poo out of everything. When I realized what was happening I ran my two shooters down there to finish off the last megaspider and the hive, and pretty much every tile was bear blood. It survived.

Slowly starting to acquire more pawns. Do you usually have a dedicated "cleaning" pawn? My base is a mess and I have to periodically manually assign people to clean it and I'm wondering if I should just make someone a mostly full time cleaner.

I usually assign someone to full time dumb labor by the time I have 6 pawns. Cleaning/hauling pawns can pretty much always find something to do and cleaning in particular scales really well since even the one pawn will be able to handle a very sizeable base.

Cleaning is a great task for that double flame 14 skill combat god that can't do anything else useful, plus you can keep them in their full combat kit and it won't really matter much.

I do, but it's a low priority compared to having people help out on more important projects. But if you have a low skills or amputee pawn or something, I set them up as my janitor for sure.

Yup. Best candidate for dumb labor is the soldier. You need them around for their usefulness in a scrap, but the other 90% of your life they can't just be sitting there, idle. They don't need any qualifications to clean dirt and haul crap, so there you go. Close second is teenager pawns. Teenager pawns are almost always completely loving useless at everything and in the first year or so training them to be good at something is mostly out of the question.

I thought I was going to do some sort of throne craft hall rec room thing and got to the level where the noble wants everything floored, but fancy, so I think I'm gonna cut out a smaller throne room and leave the mega rec/craft hall intact. Doing >400 tiles worth of fine carpet or fine stone paving seems uh... difficult. They also had issues sleeping in the same room as a non-noble... their recently born child. Baby is now sleeping in the main barracks with most everybody else. Slightly depressing but realistic. Can't wait for Hospitality to come back, then I may see how the colony falls and get started on my anti-noble run.

Did they change how you can set which workpiles to find stuff for the workbenches work? My pawns are running to the next room to grab crap when I put stockpiles with their materials right next to their workbench so they keep getting up.

Tin Tim posted:But..but...aesthetics If you really, truly care about aesthetics - you need mods. Mods that add embrasures would be good. The Fence mod would be good. You can combine those two to make a high security fence lined with the occasional bunker, which looks a lot more aesthetic than trap maze. Vanilla Security Expanded adds some neat things to add to that - ideally you'll still kinda funnel, but outer wall is just to get them to go towards a large breach where you want them to. It's best if you've set up along a river/mountain, because then you can use a combination of those mods to create a bridge entrance with bunkers defending it.

Big thread and I skimmed the last few pages, so sorry if this has already been explored. With the new DLC (and I know it's still early) if you make somebody a noble, can you do the same with their spouse and they share the required facilities? Like could they share the fancy bedroom and throne room (I'd assume if this is possible you'd have to put in two thrones)? E: Also in my current run I had a grizzly self-tame which I promptly named Wotjek and then this happened.  Hell yeah early masterwork AR just for killing a couple ducks.

There's a mood debuff for having to share a bedroom with non-nobles, but I have been leveling them together and don't know if it applies to lovers. You'll need to assign them to their thrones, otherwise you'll get a, "something's wrong!" ping about a bad throne room.

I don't have noble with noble requirements yet, but I just got a quest to house a baroness I think for a few days, which has made me wonder. If I build a throne room and royal bedroom for my (eventual) noble, and I want to accept one of these house a noble quests, do I have to have two throne rooms?

....can a throne room also be a bedroom? Here visiting noble, here is your throne next to your bed which is off to the side of the colony where you are unlikely to screw with the useful members during your stay.

E: Ah poo poo, just saw that your couple is Esquire/Yeoman. Yeomen don't have any throne/bedroom requirements which is prolly why you don't have any conflicts yet. Nobles don't require a throne room or specific bedroom until Esquire. HelloSailorSign posted:....can a throne room also be a bedroom?

You always either outnumbered or outgunned, usually both. This means that without mods that significantly improve defensive fortifications (eg CE or the relevant Vanilla Expanded mods), a freestanding pillbox is probably going to be overwhelmed. There are a lot of approaches to using choke points or AI tricks or kiting or mortars to deal with these problems, but the first problem is that you're trying to defend all directions at once and that's not workable.

I'm sorry to ask for it to be spelled out so explicitly but the wiki is always a lil behind on these things (understandably) and I'm fishing for direct experience from you guys. I was hoping to learn about this ahead of time before trying it and ending up having to build two throne rooms lol.
