Is there a mod that allows other factions to retake lost bases or let me liberate bases to give or trade to other factions? I want to rule the planet with my android friends.

I just got this and would like to play vanilla for a bit. Are there any mods that help with prioritizing jobs or hauling items though? I'd like something more granular than 1-4.

The order goes from one to four, but also left to right (as in, leftmost jobs will be executed before rightmost ones if they have the same priority) So one to four actually gives you basically all the granularity you could reasonable need for vanilla, IMO. There are mods that affect the work tab but all the ones I'm familiar with add an insane amount of granularity and make the thing virtually unusable.

OwlFancier posted:The order goes from one to four, but also left to right (as in, leftmost jobs will be executed before rightmost ones if they have the same priority) I also just got this a couple weeks ago and am only just now getting into mods--once you have more than six or seven colonists, managing the work priorities becomes a job in and of itself. I can't imagine having a huge rear end colony with an even more complicated work system.

Is there a mod that makes new colonists show up with empty work priorities? I hate it with someone shows up with 2 points into doctoring and then starts doing surgery.

Because of the way skills work, and the way pawn attention works, you generally only want each pawn doing one thing max, because even if they're good at a lot of things, their skills will decay over time if they don't use them, so they can only generally become super good at one thing (because it will decay if they don't spend all day every day practicing it) and just logistically, you don't want them running across the map doing lots of different jobs rather than sticking at one job for as long as possible. So you only really need priorities to set the job you want them to do above all other jobs, and then determine how/if you want them to do opportunity jobs, like hauling, cleaning, firefighting, doctoring, wardening etc. Things that aren't full time jobs (though hauling and cleaning become full time jobs as your colony grows) so that's why you only really need 1-4.

Once you get deep drills, you should be able to fully specialize each pawn. One guy whose only role is to do a single type of job forever, and maybe help out with hauling sometimes. After a while everyone becomes so hyper specialized in my colonies, the jobs tab is basically just a diagonal line of 1s.

Everyone is talking in such a way as to make me believe you can somehow rearrange tasks left/right and also reorder pawns in the list? Is that core functionality I've missed somehow in like 2000 hours? Lmao if true but also... It would be nice?

No you can't change the order of tasks left to right, but you can take advantage of the left-right priority combined with numbers to handle stuff. So like, if you want your pawns to do doctoring whenever necessary, then crafting, you can put both doctoring and crafting on priority 1, and they will always do doctoring first. You only need to move down a number if you want to go back to the left of the job order again. The way the jobs are ordered in the list is that the opportunistic and time sensitive jobs are generally leftmost, so doctoring, bed rest, firefighting, wardening, hunting etc, they all sit happily ahead of the regular jobs on the same priority number. It might be helpful to post your priorities at the moment and people can debug them because you shouldn't need more granularity to get your pawns working efficiently, so if you're having trouble that might indicate an issue with your priorities setup.

In the past I dealt with turret-protected caches by sniping the solar panels and batteries but this time I wanted to steal everything I could so I crept towards batteries one smoke-distance at a time, claimed them, then undrafted one of my dudes and had them uninstall it. I'm honestly surprised I didn't gently caress up too badly edit: I love the new Royalty quests. I took one to babysit some noble's disgusting pair of bloodrot-infected raccoons for 17 days. They needed constant medical care to not die and before they left they found time time to gently caress, leaving me with a baby raccoon that the noble didn't ask for back  At least the baby didn't have bloodrotI finally took a monument quest after being offered them a lot, because this one wasn't too big. A noble wanted a monument to show everyone how "poison" he is (not sure if IRL slang or Rimworld slang).  It's just a room  But if a single part of it is destroyed within 34 days he'll send a female-tuned psychic suppressor after me. That's poison all right BattleMaster fucked around with this message at 10:18 on Jul 13, 2020 |

I'm kind of getting the itch to dive in again. Last time I ran Empires and I had a lot of fun with it, but I've been seeing a lot of hubbub about Save Our Ship these days and the two are currently incompatible so I'd have to pick one. My three main questions about SoS are: 1. Does it heavily impact game performance? i.e. does having a functional ship farting around in the background make the game run like crap like having multiple real settlements would? 2. When does it come in tech-tree wise? Is it something you're only really interacting with when you've been playing a colony for 20 hours already? 3. Besides the obvious cool factor of having a floating space fortress and being able to travel to other planets, does bothering to do space stuff have practical in-game benefits, or is it basically a prestige resource sink?

Ship stuff can start around the midgame, but it's very resource intensive, need a lot of components and steel and plasteel to build ships. You can launch one with just a few advanced components and some chemfuel though, it just won't have much space or do much. To go interstellar though you will need massive amounts of resources, as you will to make them combat worthy. They're less intensive than normal maps because they have no random wildlife and most of the tiles are vacuum, so they're not very intensive to simulate, if you add a lot of stuff they will start to chug though. Ships aren't really useful other than you can land them again, so you can basically make a sort of drop base you can fly around if you wanted to, and provided you can keep it fuelled. Oh and if you use rimatomics they can railgun strike any tile on the map from orbit. They're really more of a goal in themselves rather than a benefit to a ground colony, shipping large volumes of goods between ground and space can be quite expensive and you need a lot of resources to make them productive, so there's no real point IMO where a space ship would make you a profit other than in the ultra late game.

Can someone walk me through producing plasteel? I have Rimfeller and I’ve made synthamide, I have an autoclave, and I set up plasteel production at my fabrication bench. For some reason it will never create more synthamide, and I’m constantly out of materials for plasteel construction. I’m not sure if something is bugged or if I’m just not doing it correctly, but a step by step or insights would be awesome. It’s the only thing holding me back from going full Skycore with my 7 android, 2 human colony.

Captain Monkey posted:Can someone walk me through producing plasteel? As I recall, plasteel is synthamide + steel (possibly + synthelene? Been a while since I checked the exact recipe) to produce uncured plasteel at the fabrication bench, which then needs to go in an autoclave for a while to turn into proper plasteel. To make synthamide you need a synthamide printer, and if you have the bad hygiene integration it requires water as well as chemfuel to be piped to it from a chemfuel tank. It also needs the rimefeller hoppers connected to it to serve as points for the finished good to be spat out. You also need to set up a bill at the rimefeller control console which requires someone who can run the console, all valid bills will be produced by the appropriate machines as long as the console is manned.

Long range scanners can spawn sites on the overworld for you to mine a big chunk of resources. Otherwise you can trade for it. Or I think scrap it from high level mechanoids?

Yeah it's a good idea to play vanilla for a while, a year or two in game or until you die horribly. Then ponder about what was most annoying/frustrating to deal with and grab a handful of related QOL mods (hint, it's probably gonna include Replace Stuff and Numbers and some stack size/storage mod) and keep at it until you get comfortable with the game and things start feeling predictable. Then you start installing the robot wizard catgirls.

Definitely do a vanilla run, then add a few mods to fix things you find annoying. After that you can add the "vanilla expanded" stuff for a new colony. That's the step I'm on now. Next colony I'm going to go whole hog with a bunch of mods. E: poster above me said it better
