Sapper raids don't use their single-shot rocket launchers to dig. There's always a grenade guy or a guy with a melee weapon who goes in front that does all the digging, either with grenades or by just mining. If you snipe all the sappers they'll path like a normal raid.

The advantage of multiple lines of walls is that for some reason, the AI doesn't usually burrow straight through. They'll breach a wall, then walk along the next wall to find a different place to breach. You can fill the dead space in-between the walls with traps, or just go to town with mortars (my preferred strategy).

anyone know why this setup doesnt work to keep these rooms cool? its set for like 10 degrees, but both rooms are at at least 30, this set up can keep 2 rooms at like 24 no issues though

queeb posted:anyone know why this setup doesnt work to keep these rooms cool? So, temperature is a bit weird, it's simulated on a per-room basis. So what's happening there is that you are cooling that small central tile to, presumably, 10 degrees, and each simulation tick that 1 tile of 10 degree air is propagating to the two bedrooms, very slightly pushing their temperature down, and greatly warming the 1 tile. The other set up, conversely, is cooling the entire northern room, which is equalizing with the southern room, which is of a similar size and thus, similar thermal mass. What I advise is putting the cooler in the corridor outside all those rooms, and then venting into them. The corridor will serve well as a ventilation system and will have a high thermal mass to disperse into all the other rooms. Also roofing in that corridor will help to stop all your individual rooms leaking temperature into the environment, better insulation.

oh hey yeah that fixed it, i just deleted the vent and made it part of the one room, left the bottom vent and both are fine now. oh holy poo poo yeah. I rejiggered things to look like this:  made it a corridor, roofed it, vented into each room, and one cooler is holding the entire area at like 22. queeb fucked around with this message at 18:10 on Apr 22, 2020 |

Yep, you got it. Big enclosed corridors are great for climate control and also they don't rain on people or get covered in snow in the winter. There's no real downside to building giant interconnected complexes in rimworld, rather than individual buildings. The game really encourages the opposite actually. The only real reason to have outdoor spaces is to satisfy outdoor need, but even then it's generally better to make dedicated spaces for that. There's a mod that adds windows which can take advantage of exterior walls to light and add beauty, but the base game is happy with sprawling megacomplexes.

If you got a volcanic winter you might be glad of that stockpile, it can take a long time for those to clear and you might not be able to grow outside for a while. Fortunately if it gets cold enough you can build a shed and stuff all your food in it to keep it cold for free. Big food stockpiles are very much desired in the game until you can get climate controlled growing, and even then it's good to keep a stockpile. Ideally you'd convert as much as possible to survival meals for longevity and compact storage but a big ol' granary full of corn or something works too early on.

ive been messing around more with pawnmorpher and i have discovered that cobra serum can turn your guys into rad snakemen, and if they change enough their legs turn into tails and they get a poison bite and the game calls them nagas. now i have a secret mountain base of... WEED COBRAS. they grow weed and induct new recruits into their ranks using the cobra serum. any prisoners they take who seem like dickheads just get fed the growing green slime to see what happens. a former human fission mouse joined the base, and he's pretty helpful, but because he is somewhere between human and an animal he can take drugs, but i can't restrict his drug intake, so he's been smoking joints the same size as him and now he has lung cancer:  he's sat at the dining table with his massive joint, next to a weed cobra enjoying her dinner.

Controlling fires is easier with firebreaks, if you’re building out of flammable materials. That’s pretty much all the upside I can think of to separate buildings. Subjectively, I think it looks nicer to have a compound with separate buildings.

True, sort of, but that's still an issue if you build too close together. I also wish there were more mechanical reasons to have outdoor corridors but I even roof over my outdoor paths through fields, though I often leave the sides open.

If you want to preserve natural areas while keeping your pawns on paths then you need something to force pawns to use paved paths, which means modding. I usually run fencing along paths to keep the little bastards on them, but there may be mods that let you restrict access to areas for pathing purposes.

I guess i'll just live with my horrible dirty base. It used to be clean but Marky the Weedmouse had a mental breakdown after he was diagnosed with lung cancer and regressed to a more animalistic state so he doesn't clean on his own any more. I'm thinking of promoting him to full cobra status once I have the technology in place to do it. I will miss him as a weed mouse but he seems pretty unhappy and I'm worried he will regress totally and become a full mouse. i came up with a pretty clever solution to an insect invasion in my prison. it was 4 hives in a very small space and I only have very basic guns and barely any skilled soldiers, so there was no chance of me clearing that place normally. I had an incendiary launcher that was dropped in my base by a previous raid, so I opened up the door to the prison and had my best cobra fire grenade after grenade into the entryway. once enough fires got going I had them close the door and the temp inside the jail skyrocketed. the bugs all started freaking the gently caress out and trying to burrow into random walls, but pretty soon they passed out from heatstroke. I kind of wanted to claim the royal jelly and insect chitin for myself, but it was just death to go in there. the corpses started auto-combusting from the heat in the air and made it even hotter. I was hoping a steel door would protect my one actual prisoner, but I guess it wasn't insulating enough and he cooked too:

Smart, cleansing flame is the best way to deal with infestations that are beyond your ability to fight conventionally. Also a good tip for your weed mouse in case the cancer comes back: you can go to the operations menu in the health tab to remove organs and body parts that are infected, cancerous etc. as a last resort to prevent the pawn from dying. Then you can replace it with a prosthetic or transplanted organ. Doesn't work for stuff like hearts or torso where they would just die immediately, but helps a lot of the time.

Remember that if you got a massive fire raging inside, opening a door equalizes temperature slowly, while blowing a hole in the wall instantly equalizes the room's temperature to the outside.

The raid that attacked my village came at night. They had guns but we had greatbows and fortifications on the other side of the bridge. The raiders were brave and died honorably, but they died to a person. Before their doomed assault each man and woman among them had drank their fill of beer and carried some on their person as well. The beer they carried fell when their bodies did. As the brave decayed, the local rabbits got turnt.

Would have thought the dudes inside would be poor as poo poo, and not all kitted out in marine and recon armour with LMG's! Bumrushed them with my dudes while they were all rolling over the floor vomiting over each other, and have them all locked up bare-assed in prison dorm while I replace thier bionics with peg arms and legs.
