Since my last game ended... on a low note, I decided to try the lisk jungle. Probably a mistake to do it on a mountainous map, I had a super rough start as I started between two packs of lisks but in a relatively nice section bordering the edge mountain that I could wall off easily, but I needed to not have the lisks wander in and there was a aggressive megafauna snake right in the middle of the area. Fortunately the snake wandered out as I was rushing to wall things off and I just barely avoided being early spider food as a Dunalisk went after me just as I finished a wall, forutnately it only beat on the door to get it half health and then wandered off. But now I've got this nice and secure base to build from with a super small and easy to manage chokepoint. The chokepoint is even right against a big mountain section in the center of the map that started with a big cave system with just three small openings. It also had the initial spawn of spiders in it but the first few raids, a couple of lockjaws, and previously mentioned Dunalisk eventually worked them all down so now the cave system looks like a murder house after everyone has been killed off, including the spiders. So I've got a edge mountain on on side of me, a large cave mountain section with small entrances to the other side, and enough farmable space to support a few people until I can build up hydroponics. My only real problem at the moment is getting enough chunks or wood to keep building with. I'm not able to go anywhere because the map is a murder zone of all wild predators fighting amoungst themselves and with anything that spawns in, including two large lisk packs, but at the same time unless something decides to batter down a wall my only open entrance is small, easily movable to other small spaces if needed, and pretty secure overall. Not sure if I'm going to continue, I'm pretty sure I could dig through the mountain to the map edge where it opens up to get a caravan out if needed so I think my only real problem is just infestation spawns, but if I do I'll probably switch to a flat map instead of a mountainous one to play it long term.

is there a mod for this that lets you make frankensteins or zombies or anything? I have a ton of corpses laying around in the game thanks to a quest that spawned 6 tribals every day to attack a noble capybara, and i want something to do with them that isn't just giving negative moodlets

I'm jumping back into Rimworld after a 3 month break - drat it feels good to be back on da rim. 1.1 has some nice features, and I'm enjoying Royalty so far. My main pawn has some minor title bestowed upon him but I dont really know the extent of what that means. Hows the performance improvement since 1.0? I remember my games getting super choppy once I hit 20 pawns.

Alternately I'm pretty sure the compost mods let you make fertiliser out of your enemies guilt free.

All the lisks go to sleep at night, so if you switch to a night time schedule you have ~6 hours to head out and grab things. I did a solo Summoner (from rimworld of magic) naked brutality run and it's pretty great. The minions will haul and clean so I let them out every night to haul in corpses, after about a year I had about 10,000 meat in storage.

Can anyone recommend a good mod for gradually making my pawns overpowered that isn't Android Tiers? I messed around with the mod options of it and now world maps can't be generated, instead of figuring it out I just want to mix it up a little  I tried Rimworld of Magic in the past and it didn't really click with me, I'll try it again but I'm open to other suggestions too.

I messed around with the mod options of it and now world maps can't be generated, instead of figuring it out I just want to mix it up a little EPOE, Glittertech, and Project Rimfactory's Insanity module all combine in really hilarious ways. The Project Rimfactory module lets you replicate things out of paperclips, and Glittertech and EPOE both have some comically overpowered implants individually but working together gets really fun. It does take a while to really get the paperclip engine running and the research costs are ludicrous for that alone never mind everything else. That said at endgame you'll have pawns that can run at 400 speed with an immune system that'll outpace any disease without treatment (lol Glittertech), can do any work almost instantly, with EPOE's full set of brain implants does any work with competence at a bare minimum, has a sword that'll do 1000dps in the hands of someone normal let alone as a bionic god (lol RimFactory Insane Module's z-composite), and has armor that's a giant gently caress you to taking any damage ever (AKA clothes made with z-composite, lol z-composite). Add in Mechanite Forge with the Trollblood and Seraphium serums to make it nigh impossible to bleed out and can regenerate biological limbs if replacement bionics aren't immediately available just as that extra touch. If the z-composite things are too much for you, just sticking to something like Glittertech's beta-poly (also stupidly overpowered but less than z-composite) can also work. Thanks to Glittertech you'll still see challenge from the hilariously overpowered attacks from factions in that mod. Orion Corp is loving ludicrous, but in the long term your bionic gods will shred them.

Learned my lesson not to be overconfident with lisks. Had a tax patrol come by and cleaned out a whole section of the map after some hefty losses, so I thought I'd reclaim a lot of it by walling it in. Got most way done but then a bunch of eggs hatched. After killing 7 or 8 small lisks I had to run and heal up from nearly dying to the acid. By the time I was healed and could afford to go out again the lisk hatchlings which I'd run from, another 5 or 6, became full grown and now I've got a big pack of lisks just outside my base. Edit: Whelp, eventually lost it all. Titanboa came by and had a conflict with the lisks which cleared most of them out. I had one left to kill which I did then cleared out the nearby eggs. Right as I picked up the last eggs four full size lisks aggro'd from way farther than was reasonable. They chased me into my base and my last defense door was only wood, maybe one might have stopped before it tore it down but with three beating on it fell quickly and they overwhelmed me. nessin fucked around with this message at 20:47 on Apr 12, 2020 |

They're instant gameovers because you can't even run away fast enough to abandon the colony and start over; they murder everyone in just a minute or two.

I don't want to complain too much, but holy moly mechaniod cluster spam on protect the [thing] quests are really not fun. I do like the idea of the clusters, but if you don't have mortars it really hurts and destroying one (plus recovery) usually takes more time than the delay between cluster spawns. You're usually given a group of pawns to help you, but the clusters keep spawning until you get rid of the VIP at which point the temps immediatly leave. I think it would be ok if the temp pawns remained for 2-3 days after completion to help clear the remaining clusters, but currently you are just left with a bunch of raids calculated on the inflated colony size, but you are now back to the your normal population.

What to do with corpses: crematorium or dump them all in the creek or whatever. Getting clever with corpses: chop them up and feed them to the dogs, etc. Turning corpses into cool poo poo: create human leather “decorations” for your killbox, etc.

Just suicide the temps into the clusters before you load the VIP on the shuttle. You usually have a few days once the shuttle arrives to do it anyway. Use wake up and go juice if you have it. Empire cataphracts especially will gently caress some mechanoids up before they go down.

You can use corpse stockpiles to create massive corpse fields near the main entry points to your map and then use an incendiary shell to light it all up if a raid decides to walk through it

I think that Ye Olde Goone Wisdome is to toss all the dead bodies in a pile for your animals to eat, but that seems horrific and cruel so I instead butcher the dead bodies and mix it together with some corn to make kibble for all my puppies to eat. I haven't done it in a while but I also don't remember there being a negative moodlet; if there is one it must be slight.

In addition to the mood penalty, all colonists get a long-lasting negative social opinion about the colonist who did the human butchering, so your chefs will become the nexus of a lot of insults and social fights if you go big on human butchery.

It saves labour, is very nutrition-efficient, and as someone ITT likes to point out, doesn't make you sick, ever. It has a lot of pros and it can make a very good backup food source but you do want to try to provide good meals if you can because it's a valuable source of mood boosts, especially compared to the debuff from nutrient paste.

So I decided to play around with Pawnmorpher, Genetic Rim, and Questionable Ethics. The combination is, uh, interesting on the war crimes front. So with Genetic Rim, you are incentivized to kill rare animals/mechs/etc. to get genetic samples to recombine into ludicrous creatures. The most powerful critters are mechs (which generally are in abundance after a certain point) and Thrumbos (which are really never in abundance at all). So what if we could get a large number of Thrumbos to slaughter? Well, it turns out that Pawnmorpher has 2-3 easy ways to turn a pawn into an animal, including a Thrumbo. Questionable Ethics allows for the cloning of pawns (or Thrumbos directly) for experimentation. Prisoners are fantastic because you can use them as raw stock for horrifying genetic experiments, and then unleash them on the enemy. It gets even more horrifying when you realize that Pawnmorpher has the ability to tag any creature, including the critters from Genetic Rim, Alpha Animals, etc., and then morph a pawn into that creature. So now you can skip the Thrumbo harvesting step and just turn your prisoners directly into killing machines that then get trained up and flung at the enemy en masse. It's incredibly silly, and I haven't even touched the side of it where you create new implants and mess with mutations to make your own pawns stronger. Edit: You can also find former humans that you can cure, and then 5 days later after the curing mechanites have been flushed from their system, you can change them into something more interesting again. Sadly, I haven't yet figured out how to throw already morphed former humans into the mutagen chambers to convert them directly; you have to start with a human first.

I've been really enjoying using Pawnmorpher to turn my colony into a hosed up Dr. Moreau situation. Any human I get gets mutated into whatever seems like it would be interesting. We had a meteor strike that dropped a chunk of Mutanite on my map and I sent one guy out to mine it, and he came back with wings, hooves, wool, a pig snout, a cobra hood, and a bunch of other poo poo. He's around 12% human at this point. If a pawn gets a bad mutation, I just lop that part off and replace it with chrome. Mostly though you end up with dudes with movement and sensory bonuses. It's a really neat mod with a ton of detail. There are specific moodlets for things like having to shear yourself or draining your neutroglycerin cyst. Eventually pawns will get used to stuff like that, and some pawns find that they prefer to be an animal and get annoyed if you turn them back once they change. There are also a bunch of ways to weaponize mutation, which is effective because the actual process of mutating is painful and applies a ton of movement and consciousness penalties in addition to whatever penalties you get for having chicken legs all of a sudden.

I've got SRTS Expanded as well, and that lets you do bombing runs using mortar shells. That includes using mutagenic shells. Unfortunately I've only fought mechanoids and androids since the bombers have been in place, so I'm hoping that a tribal raid happens at some point. I'd like to see the effect of dropping mutagen on several dozen enemies at once to see the chaos unfold.

I'm doing a stupid gimmick run with a colony called Big Cat Exploitation Station with certain residents such as Joe Exotic and Carol Baskins. I made Joe greedy, volatile, and gay. So far Joe keeps running to hide in his crappy room to slit his wrists while his pet panthers watch. Also is sucks lynxes can't haul but at least panthers can.
