Protip: Whenever you get some temporary dudes assigned to you by the empire make sure to operate on them steal all their implanted toughskin glands and whatnot. They're worth a pretty good amount and it's free medical XP since it doesnt matter if they die.

Not sure, you don’t want them to be royals since they make really lovely psycasters. They have 0.15 psychic sensitivity, same as Mechanoids. They also don’t quite reap the same benefits of having a nice bedroom the way humans do, since they don’t sleep.

I feel like that would be a very good overlap with Rimworld: SCP edition to contain some of the candidates. Which I'm sad isn't a thing honestly, there's been some SCP monster mods but the framework for the game would be super well suited to "design and build a containment facility while protecting it from attacks from the outside and breaches while stopping your staff going insane from memes or their job stress"

Then she got killed because a raider was a chronomage and made her age so that she died of an artery blockage lol This is why I can never seem to finish a game with Rimworld of Magic. It's great in concept and fun when you've got all the cool stuff, but a Chronomage or Astral Mage (sometimes a strong Lightning Mage) can mean basically instant death to a character that you basically can't stop. And a Blood Mage at just the right moment can be a total colony wipe. At least most other stuff has an out, like a Gladiator's grapple has fairly low range so they're not just going to teleport one of your pawns from sniper rifle range.

My dumbass drow, despite being highly intellectual, picked two fights with the only ladies in the colony and twice he got headbutted by them, one who had a loving horn growing out of her head. The dude has 11% consciousness and can no longer function besides being talked to, and while I'd like to harvest him for organs, he was one of my starting colonists and I'd hate to see him go. So now I'm waiting on a tradeship to pass by to hopefully have one of those health restorers so I can get rid of his brain scars. So how are y'alls colonies going?

I jumped back into Rimworld after a months-long hiatus. How do you beat these mech clusters? I accepted a quest to protect some royal prisoners and the first mech cluster absolutely destroyed me. I had to reload a prior save and refuse the quest

I had to reload a prior save and refuse the quest Depends on the design of the mech cluster, but smoke grenades used on your troops means their turrets can’t lock on to those under the cloud, which is huge for a decent number of mech clusters. Other mech clusters land with a weakness, like the unstable power cell - pop those and the explosion is huge.

I accepted a quest to protect some royal prisoners and the first mech cluster absolutely destroyed me. I had to reload a prior save and refuse the quest Kite the ranged enemies, run up and stab the melee enemies. Lancers and pikemen are pretty easy to kill once you get into melee and they can't shoot you anymore. If turrets are you problem, you can often peek out of a corner, shoot, and retreat behind it again before they can fire at you. IIRC EMP Grenades are relatively low in the tech tree (Microelectronics which you'll want pretty quick anyway) and make taking mechs out much easier.

I had a quest like that that dropped two mech clusters. I wasn't sure how to handle it, until my allies in Operation Bugspray, a marine unit from the AvP mod, podded in about 100 guys and just slowly swarmed over everything on the map. What exactly has to happen before a mech hive counts as "defeated?" Whatever it is isn't working on my map because there are still walls I can't deconstruct.

Usually it's destroying all the structures associated with the main push of the mech cluster, namely turrets, drop points, mech caskets, and the special buildings (assembler, fart cloud maker, etc.). Sensors, anti-mortar shields, and unstable power cells aren't part of that - you can pick up the power cells, but not the others. I had hoped to snag a mortar shield.

I still use mortars to gently caress up mech clusters. Someone pointed out EMP mortars will disrupt their mortar shield if there is one. If so, first target is the mortar shield. one EMP mortar fired a few seconds before the main volley, rest of volley at the shield. After that target the main building environment modifier or psychic wave maker or whatever spawns. When they or their building gets hit they'll start moving but most times they leash back to the main compound. Eventually they either make it all the way to my normal defenses after repeated hits, or the main building is destroyed. Once that happens they turn into a normal raid and path like usual towards your base. Normal defenses to take the wave out. Then go out and mop up the turrets. Do not do this part with melee, at all. Turret explosions will loving murder your pawns. This part is pure ranged fire. RIP Stingray and Gyles, your sarcophagus' make for a great recreation source. Bonus points if you can avoid taking out the self contained power modules, those things are awesome. They power my deep drills remotely with no infrastructure or maintenance, just the risk of hideous explosive death.

The best way I know to handle this is to have a few snipers shoot the turrets from within a smoke cloud, which is perpetually refreshed by a smoke launcher colonist who is standing out of turret range. Make sure the snipers have some line of sight obscuring blocks to dive back behind in case the smoke launcher fucks up and sends the smoke into the wrong place twice in a row.

I snagged an emp launcher off of an early-ish Imperial trader, and gave it to a guy with my first suit of power armor. Sneak him in and the armor soaks the few hits he'll take before stun-locking the turret while my other shooters plink at it from range.

Jose posted:With magic of rimworld or whatever how do I turn my colonists into mages of various kinds? I recruited a geomancer from a visiting group but would like to make my own Select a colonist who has the Magical Sensitivity trait and right click an arcane tome to tell them to read it. They'll consume the tome and become a wizard of whatever type the tome teaches. Get tomes from traders or quest rewards. If you want to wizard a colonist without the Magical Sensitivity trait, research enchanting to unlock the gemcrafting table and use it to craft a Gem of Arcane Insight. Tell a colonist to use it and they'll eat it to gain the trait.

Yeah, in general getting good casters is a long term proposition. Unless you get lucky with recruitment you'll need to find the right tome, add the trait if necessary, and wait for them to get XP to get the spells you want. Considering how overpowered most mages are though it's a fair thing.

The correct way to deal with mechanoid spawns is to use your noble ability to call in troopers and janissaries, then send them against the robits in human wave-style attacks while your colonists hang back and provide moral support
