Genetic Rim is a fantastic mod and combines really well with some other mods that add on interesting critters (there are compatibility mods for most critter packs). Throw Pawnmorpher and Questionable Ethics in there, and the sky is the limit when it comes to genetic augmentation, experimentation, and various other things of dubious morality.

The sausage is a baby cthonian I think. Personally I'm more curious why you've got teratogenic originators roaming the hallways. They're useful as hell to be sure, but I wouldn't let them just wander around, it's not like they eat more than once a month. Speaking of letting things just wander around...

I just stuff all my animals in a cupboard and shovel in hay. Works especially well for stuff that barely eats like teratogenic originators but which are so valuable. You can see the animal cupboard in the first image, in fact.

Oh, is that what that does? I always just leveled the entire area with 28cm cannon and MLRS fire. Heavy artillery has in my experience always been the answer to things like screaming tentacled holes in the ground.

I've put more time into this game during the pandemic than I really should have, but good lord it's great. My friends on Slack have been subjected to a steady stream of screenshots of the funny poo poo, like a horse made comatose via a charge rifle-inflicted traumatic brain injury or the hare that was hit by a meteorite and "exploded". Loving it.

I think it was an attempt to prevent a kind of rocket launcher cascade. Raiders all bunch up so a single rocket launcher is practically guaranteed to make a raid flee, and late game high difficulty raids have so many guys that you're practically guaranteed to get at least one rocket launcher dropped from the dead raiders, which you could use to wipe the next and then the next, etc. Raids being resource-positive is something that's been patched against multiple times, with tainted clothing, heavy mood penalties for organ harvesting, now biocoded weapons. It's also why there's no washing machine or hacking tools to remove the tainted or biocoded tag from equipment. Whether you think keeping raids from being resource-positive is fun or not is up to you (and there's a bunch of mods that change it if you like), but that's the intention.

I think the biocoding thing is a smart balance mechanic, just initially overused (and it has been tuned back already). I'm not so happy about some of the other recent balance tweaks. Shredding mechanoids for parts hardly yields any resources now (only 15 steel for pikemen and lancers), and even the dangerous turrets in mechanoid clusters hardly yield anything. Seriously, 3 plasteel from the ultra-deadly blaster turrets? How many turrets do you think I'm going to be defeating?

I've put about 75 hours into the base game and am now exploring the most basic mods (Hospitality, Colony Manager, the sanitation one), and now all of a sudden there's a bug where it won't stop raining? Just infinite rain. And the game seems to be experiencing pretty noticeable slowdown. Are even the best mods a bit finicky?

There might be some explanation. Otherwise, yeah, mods tend to introduce bugs fairly frequently (and the base game still has occasional bugs as well). You might be able to force a weather change with the debug menu, though.

Are there cooling solutions more elegant than "a cooler in every room" or "a big line of 10+ coolers"? And does anyone have experience with the mod for fuses that protect against Zzzt? I'm wondering if having one power grid is safe if I have 1 fuse for every 2-3 batteries, or if I should separate and have individual grids. Simple wire laying/cutting job to separate them again. This was 2-3 in game years of labor well spent. Think I will build a rare goods vault and the boss' house on the deep water.

I'm wondering if having one power grid is safe if I have 1 fuse for every 2-3 batteries, or if I should separate and have individual grids. Simple wire laying/cutting job to separate them again. Assuming you're talking about RT Fuse, every fuse or circuit breaker will safely discharge 1800 Wd, which is 3 fully-charged batteries. It doesn't matter how may batteries are on the grid, as long as you have 1 circuit breaker for every 3 batteries, you will never get an explosion from a Zzzt event. You DO still lose all the charge in the batteries, so if you're using nonconstant power generators (solar, wind) you might still suffer brownouts until the sun or wind comes up again. As for cooling solutions, I like to cool a hallway which itself is attached via vents to all the bedrooms. You'll still need multiple coolers because one cooler won't be able to handle a bunch of bedrooms by itself. Here's a screenshot from one of my old colonies where you can see this in the bottom left.  Also remember double-thick walls provide better insulation, so cooled rooms absorb less heat from the surrounding area. You can save a good amount of power by double-walling your freezer if you're in a hot biome. Thicker than double walls has no effect. The cooler itself won't be double-wide, so I like to use the double-wide ones from Replace Stuff, although the difference is really just aesthetic. The other vanilla cooling option is building deep into a mountain. Deep mountains provide a temperature stabilizing effect that pushes any rooms built deep in there towards I think 15 C. One or two coolers is usually all you're going to need if you're deep underground.

unless i'm mistaken (i haven't played a mountain game in a long while so i might be), mountain basically makes it so the temperature is a constant of the average of the surrounding area's year-round temp, not necessarily just 15C. so a mountain in a taiga isn't likely to get to 15C and may still require some heaters to be comfortable, though it will undoubtedly be warmer than what's outside, especially at night.

Rule of thumb: Bigger animal tend to have stronger leather defensively. Animals that tend to live in hot climates have better heat protection, animals that tend to live in cold climates have better cold protection. If you want exact values, there's a page here with all the base leathers. Piell fucked around with this message at 19:43 on May 13, 2020 |

Yeah RT Fuse, I toss up 2 batteries per power source and a fuse attached to both. Thank you very much for the help and advice, I think a cooled hallway vented into a large area would be visually pleasing enough. I'll try 3 in the snake head and see if it stays consistent. I got a Global Warming event that is turning this temperate forest into a desert, so I'm hoping to get the base set up and keep it cool with mostly internal workings. Maybe some side areas or farms, or a rec area with no roof to avoid everybody feeling cooped up. Doomykins fucked around with this message at 19:58 on May 13, 2020 |

Never make clothes you want to actually protect or insulate people with light leather, bird skin, pigskin, patch leather. If you have to, you can use lizard skin and plain leather for shirts/pants. Save heavy leather, panthera fur, wolfskin, bearskin, for dusters. Save thrumbofur until you got a 15+ crafter or a 10+ with creative inspiration, dusters from that poo poo are amazing. However, thrumbofur chairs are apparently exquisitely beautiful - guinea pig leather and chinchilla fur great for crafting things that have a beauty stat too, but poor protection. Don't make armor things out of wool or cloth. Otherwise, go nuts. I usually wind up having colonists rocking camelhide or bluefur pants/shirts with heavy fur dusters.

Lost a colony to an infestation I didn't think was possible combined with panicking trying to rally a defense. Turns out three tiles of my lab were overhead mountain. It was almost a miraculous turnaround - man in black showed up and finished the stragglers, but the entire colony bled out before he could patch any of them up. Only myself to blame. NEXT.

Not for caravans. What animals and people do you have? What food restrictions do they all have? If you bring a Warg on a caravan, food will say 0 unless you bring food they can eat as well as the 35 simple meals. The caravan food listing shows the lowest days of food for any individual on the caravan. You can also watch their needs tab and see if someone's not eating.
