Everybody who has played this game seems to suggest that the apparent difficulty of the three storytellers is backwards, in that the chill one tends to be the most difficult and randy ends up being the easiest one. Have to say that being able to change all of that (and the difficulty scaling) whenever was a really solid design choice.

Phoebe is basically Cassandra but with longer breaks between big threats. Randy is only "easier" if you're planning to keep a colony going indefinitely, because Cassandra/Phoebe's infinite raid scaling really only starts surpassing Randy's raid scaling once you're obscenely wealthy and have been around for a while. Up until that point, Randy can be easier or much, much harder depending on what the RNG gives you - Cassandra can't throw three raids at you three days in a row six months into your colony's life span like Randy can, for example.

The big reason Randy is easier is because he doesn’t give a poo poo how long it has been since your last threat so you can easily have a week long break between raids and that’s no big deal. Cassie will start itching for blood every like 3 days and you can pretty much set your watch to the threat timer she has.

I tend to find Phoebe harder mostly due to how fast she escalates. It's the same raid calcs as Cassandra but longer between raids. So while with Cassandra you're raided all the time, each raid is just a little harder than the last, but with Phoebe you'll go from 5 naked dudes with clubs to 40 centipedes

Azhais posted:Doesn't she send raids on fixed intervals? she sends 'major bad events' on fixed intervals. through the midgame especially this will not necessarily be a raid as there are lots of major bad events she can choose from, from toxic fallout to a complex crop blight. but after you have 'sky-high expectations' her option pool bleeds down to only a couple options, and raid is at the top of that list because she can scale it arbitrarily. randy not only decides randomly when to send you bad events, he always chooses based on the whole pool. cassie and phoebe will never just go "lol mad rat" in year 3. randy can choose to do that whenever he pleases. naturally, the other side to this is that randy can absolutely choose to send a volcanic winter and a raid in short order, so your raid is hitting while you're short on power from the dimmed light. he can also choose to send toxic fallout on day 3. cassie will never do these things.

Coolguye posted:ah so you're meaning the truly top tier map sizes to solve this particular issue. i dunno that i really agree with that, though i see the logic. i also think that there's definitely some non upper limits on strategic resources on maps, such as geothermal vents and anima trees. there's always 4 vents and 1 anima, and if your map is 2DMAXX HUEG those will be a lot more onerous to capture. I too love geothermal energy for that sweet sustained passive power, but the closer you get to endgame the less important they are. They're amazing in the early- and mid-game when pawn labor is stretched thin, but late-game they're never enough to sustain your entire base anyways and are one of the worst generators from a space efficiency perspective (100w per tile is frankly awful). I'll use them if RNG puts them in a useful place, but I'm not going to complain about not having one inside my base to gently caress up all my building placement either (gently caress that 6x6 footprint, absolutely nothing goes with it and you can't share the room unless it's permanent winter because the geyser keeps dumping heat). I still think it's worth full walling farms in 1.3, fences are a cheap early game option but get shot up by accident really easily and don't control raider movement (or even all animal movement since a lot of modded stuff like Alpha Animals don't respect fences). My farms tend to plotted out in 11x11 areas for easy conversion into sunlamp greenhouses, so when toxic fallout hits I can just slam that roof zoning and lose very little (worst case it buys me a few days to get my poo poo in order before ordering a pre-mature harvest because I can't afford the sunlamps). Countering four pawns worth of raiders for that amount of space and steel investment in your turret box sounds pretty rough, not gonna lie. I think for the most part having stone walls to force the raiders break out of my fields already buy me enough time that steel for turrets isn't necessary, but depending on the approach angles the raiders have maybe that little bit of extra damage is worth it. Beauty isn't important by itself, but it's still a moodlet and that final mood score is what matters. Farmwork takes a lot of time, so the less ugly the fields are the less likely my growers have a mental break because of stacking penalties from banishing an 80yo pyromaniac wanderer during a psychic drone while they're working in the rain or whatever. I also don't think Beauty works quite as you're describing - the area's beauty score is a slow drain or growth on the pawn's need level, and you don't need to hit arbitrary visible beauty numbers to get to the bad moodlets. Though it also drains a lot slower than it increases so I'm probably overestimating the impact of having a bunch of turrets in the fields, but it still sucks to go from +15 Gorgeous after breakfast in the rec room to +5 Pretty after only a few hours in the fields. Coolguye posted:Assuming lsndl is correct about unpowered turrets being important for the sake of calculated battle power, the SOP would be to keep the generators off while no threat is on the map, so extra fuel wouldn’t be as interesting. A full load lasts 6 days, which might end up being the better part of a year in practice. I should probably check that assumption because if that’s not the case what you point out here is hella true. You’d likely still want like half of your pillboxes off at any one time just to minimize resource use, but a few you would want on all the time. Looking into that, it seems like that's info from an old version of Rimworld and no longer a thing in current patch. But unpowered turrets do still matter for sapper routing, so leaving a couple in the fields could be useful for that. Maybe even worth leaving unpowered turrets in other random places in your base? But with breacher raids now being a thing maybe not. LonsomeSon posted:…it just seems to me that by the time someone is building out nine-turret pillboxes for contingency defense, they really ought to have the resources not to need to use flammable cloth as part of their fortifications. Oh sure, for the turret pillbox you probably want stone or plasteel barricades for the higher HP values. I was just thinking about the general use case, for early game defenses I'm already running out of stone blocks getting my walls and flooring laid down and I'm sure as hell not building my defenses out of wood. You're correct that a proper killbox should have the area dug out for zero attacker cover, but if my pawns are too busy with everything else I might decide a handful of cloth and quick construction time is an okay stopgap, the alternative is digging things out to a 30 tile range or building new walls. One sandbag to turn a hard corner into a soft corner, or a dozen granite walls to get far enough away that the hard corner is out of range. Wood is renewable like cloth but gets used for more important things, like furniture or keeping those loving braziers lit. It's also only "most renewable" if you include the whole map as your source, and I find that quickly turns into diminishing returns due to travel and hauling times. I find it's easier to just have a big cotton plot for the first year and then leave a small plot going constantly after that, using excess for item requests where value doesn't matter. I think you might have the wrong stats on sandbags vs barricades though, sandbags shouldn't be flammable and both of them should have identical cover scores.

Yeah that’s fully fair; I was referring to one of the posted pillboxes which used a lot of sandbags but on checking my post I completely failed to specify that! I prefer to play maps with a creek or river running through them, initially for water wheels when they came out but now because it allows me to use curtain walls to funnel most raids into coming at me through the water, meaning more time to gear up and rush all of the roombas and quadcopters back to their base stations. Termites and breaching axes are making it a lot less reliable, though, thus the attractive nature of putting maybe some mini versions of these self-powered pillbox designs outside the curtain walls, near raid spawn points, as speed bumps. With luck, most of the breach pawns will be hosed up or killed, or maybe getting engaged will blap their pathing over to another protocol. An enby can dream, anyway. Starting fresh on a new map with five armored and chromed fighters (I’m ready to score my next fragment but I’m holding out for a refit to Advanced Bionic limbs and spines) really changes the dynamic, though. This first time, my initial fights were decently-equipped sieges and raids of about a dozen outlanders, or 18ish tribal pawns, but we landed with three railguns and two Persona weapons, as well as sundry other poo poo including a jump pack for everyone. It lets the melee pawns close without having to get plinked through their powered armor, and the snipers safely make large relocations to do poo poo like flank at range, which actually results in outnumbered defenders being able to do enough damage rapidly enough, with good maneuvering, to selectively ruin the most dangerous pawns in a raid before they take enough damage to seriously impact their combat effectiveness. e: with regard to flammability of sandbags, I distinctly recall burning sandbags which were built by siege raids, but it was some time ago. With regard to the cover score, I checked it on the RimWorld wiki, not in the game. LonsomeSon fucked around with this message at 03:57 on Aug 1, 2021 |

You can get going with a simple rimatomics reactor in midgame if you focus on it, I'll usually rush rimatomics as soon as I get a quest with basically any significant amount of uranium as a reward.

When you're throwing around molotovs and whatnot you can start a fire on any tile, it'll just go out real quick if the tile doesn't have anything flammable on it. I'm looking at the wiki right now and both pages mention the two being interchangeable aside from materials used with 57% cover for both, although it's showing 55% for me in-game so I don't know if something is up there.

I just played ideology for the first time. Temper tantrum spiral, one colonist died from infection because he wouldn't stay in the drat bed, other one survived simply because the infection incapacitated them so they could stay in the bed. Permeant -10 mood debuff from not having their preferred weapon (better than fists you dumbass). Not having pants and pants are required? enjoy being hated by all the other colonists and sometimes beat up and insulted because of it and everyone dislikes you because of it (you just crash landed, you would be lucky to come out alive, let alone having pants). Wanderer wants to join? Enjoy them hating everyone and everyone else hating them because of different ideologies in the early game. Gonna start a new game and give all my starting colonists mood increasing stuff.

So I fired up a test map in dev mode, and the efficiency of the turret box unsurprisingly varies according to the raiders' faction. Tribals have no armor and lovely weapons so it's mostly a question of whether or not they're bringing breachers, which seems to start becoming more common at higher point values. A pirate can drat near solo the box if he has frag grenades, but a standard composition of mostly guns tends to win unless they go for a multi-prong surround so all the turrets can contribute simultaneously. Mechanoids are almost a fair fight except when there's a Termite, then the thump cannon just ruins everything. In terms of point values I tested mostly the 500-1000 range, with the turrets usually but not always winning at 500 and usually losing at 1000. Instead of a maxed out 12 turret bunker, I'm liking an 8 turret cross-shape design a little more. It handles a slightly fewer but similar number of raiders because it has more open fields of fire without all the separators, and costs less to replace when you lose the whole thing because the raiders got into melee range. You do sometimes lose a second turret on a facing when the first one lights up, but it seems relatively infrequent to be acceptable risk when you're planning on your turrets anyways. My overall takeaway from this though is that trying to design a full standalone bunker in the field isn't the right approach, because even if you're designing under the assumption that raiders have to move past the bunker and the turrets on the back side can finally contribute, the breachers will instead opt to destroy the generator and then everything goes down. I think a standard conduit run to the forward turrets is overall preferable because of that, and have multiple lines of 4-6 turrets than a single bunker. None of this testing was done with an actual proper base for raiders to aim towards instead of just the lone bunker in the field though so grain of salt. Interestingly, I found that the thump cannon on the Termites does not have the same massive damage on sandbags/barricades as it does walls, and seem to prioritize nearer sandbags over a wall a couple tiles away. Laying down sandbag lines in the field may be a reasonable countermeasure to take since that buys you a lot more time to snipe them with your marksmen before they start busting up your walls. Coolguye posted:the emphasized point is not correct. if that were true, you would be rolling with -15 hideous environment very often in the early game when you have dirt floors and lovely bedrooms because you're popping everything else up. dirt is -1 beauty, so nature by default is actually pretty ugly. instead of pissing pawns off, though, it just ends up being neutral after it's hit its equilibrium point. Playing around with the beauty view, going below -2.5 beauty is enough to get to the -10 Ugly Environment moodlet, which was basically anywhere within two tiles of the turret pillbox I was testing with. I was overestimating the impact of individual ugly items so having sight on a couple turrets is not a huge hit at least, and looking at the Needs tab the ranges are non-linear so you shouldn't be losing more than 5 mood in one workday given how the system is weighted towards gains than losses. Coolguye posted:so i actually disagree on this point and i am glad you responded to it because i missed that post originally Mini-turrets do care about fire: steel ones are 28% flammability, and I assume you don't want to be spending plasteel or uranium on ablative turrets for the 0% ones. You care enough to separate the turrets with walls to avoid chain reactions, so I'm assuming you don't want to have your entire pillbox go up from a fire chaining around all sides of the bunker either.

 Legendary plasteel halberd is pretty good, honestly the production specialist is incredibly valuable because a flat +1 quality to anything produced makes you churn out masterworks on the reg and legendaries almost every time you hit an inspiration.

Yeah Production Specialist is pretty easily the most valuable, especially since you can have as many as you like. e: so, reaching the wealth victory condition was way easier than I thought it would be, I haven't even really made a lot of poo poo, everyone is naked and two people have any bionics at all. While it does let you reset your ideologion completely it doesn't reroll the world map. I had disabled most of the teched-up factions to have a chance at surviving but that leaves me with just tribals and bugs, probably time to let that group go into the mists of legend   e: I figured someone would do a mod to let you customize the Newgame+ mechanic and here it is https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2555218393&searchtext=archonexus Flesh Forge fucked around with this message at 15:31 on Aug 1, 2021 |

I would say Shooting specialist edges out Production just a tiny bit because killing things more efficiently is a big deal and lots of shooters is more useful than lots of crafters, but the meme for Production doesn't make everyone dislike you so I guess that's a fair trade. The obvious answer is to take both and then airdrop masterwork items as gifts until everyone allies you.
