isndl posted:Some improvements to the archonexus line but man, not even keeping your techprints anymore sucks. Tribals get thrown a bone if I'm understanding the classic start note correctly but Tynan really wants you to slog through early game research again I guess. Makes Research Specialists somewhat useful, I suppose. it's newgame+, I don't have any problem with this whatsoever. if you just want to start a new map with the same tech and people you can just move and abandon the oroginal map.

If it didn't reset your research there wouldn't be much gameplay there, I think? You start with 5 developed, potentially roided out endgame-level pawns and whatever poo poo you managed to pack with you. With research retained, you could hit the next wealth requirement threshold incredibly quickly and just leapfrog from map fragment to map fragment.

Are dance parties broken right now? I thought I had just missed the date the first couple years (it says mine is on the second of Aprimay but the timer has been relating to the first) but I just watched it tick down to zero and then just immediately start over at 60 days until I can throw one.

You can, but you also get no progression on the archonexus quest line that way. I might as well use Prepare Carefully to put bionics on five pawns when starting a new game for a similar experience.

With research retained, you could hit the next wealth requirement threshold incredibly quickly and just leapfrog from map fragment to map fragment. You can't use caravan packing to bring an entire starter base with you anymore unless I'm misunderstanding that patch note. Most of your colony wealth is in items and buildings which is materials and labor, not research. I'm still going to need steel in the thousands to get all my infrastructure up, let alone scrounging up all the rarer stuff for advanced manufacturing like anything involving the fabrication bench. Even if you brought a deep drill and rushed a scanner as one of your first projects you're still arguably going slower than taking five horses to haul a shitload of raw materials from the nearest trade settlements. I guess the intention is to slow you down so that you can't do something like immediately plant down a sterile floor drug lab and crank out the yayo to rush the wealth numbers before raids arrive, but it blows hard for transhumanists who can't bring their stuff and have to relearn how to make it (at least they have research specialists). It also makes high-rank royalist pawns a significant liability when you can't meet any of their demands since some of their stuff is locked behind tech on top of the high resource investment, you'll probably have to give up the title entirely.

There is/was a bug where if your event is scheduled for the first (or was it last?) day of a quadrum it doesn't fire properly. Not sure if it's been fixed yet.

Pawnmorpher is neat but what I'd really like to see is that system/UI for something more exciting than animal mutations, like the ones from Evolved Organs Redux or something. The mutagenic rocket launcher is stupidly OP also. One shot and a massive cluster of raiders are now suddenly various animals. I tamed one and reverted her back to human but she's a cannibal raider and just doesn't fit in (and wasn't converting) so thanks to this unstable genome I found she's transformed instead into a kaiju sized Chaothrumbo and now I've just got to figure out which enemy settlement to drop her on Mr Luxury Yacht fucked around with this message at 05:31 on Aug 11, 2021 |

To lazy to quote or link, but Imo the Adeptus Mechanicus series of 40k mods is the best one out there. It includes a bunch of neat touches like Kroot being cannibals and absorbing traits from the corpses they eat, and Orks being larger based on age/social rank. Necrons have the whole "We will be back" dealio and tomb spiders can resurrect dead Necrons.

is there a mod out there to let you XCOM your way through a protracted war against the other factions on your rimworld? less into escaping in a spaceship and more into slowly and inexorably demolishing plentary rivals and spreading an empire

Actually you should 100% get the Adeptus Mechanicus Orkoid mod because one of the ideologies is the Gretchin revolution.

One of my pawns threw a tantrum and I wansn't paying attention and destroyed a techprof core, an AI core, and I don't know what else. Do not make nervous pawns or pawns that otherwise have permeant mood maluses as leaders or otherwise. It makes them tantrum more.

Short answer: Use dev mode to change the date of the dance party for your ideology to the 4th of the month. I have the exact same bug but for another type of celebration. I think there is a bug that sometimes makes the game calculate the required date -2 days so if you have it for the 1st or 2nd in a month the game will behave just like this. I solved it by using dev mode to change the date of the celebration to the 4th of the month instead, now it tells me that I can initiate it on the 2nd of the month and that works.

Here's dumb trick if you're doing the Worshipful Village quest for your relic: when you walk in the map claim the beds/doors and turn them into prisons, then arrest all the locals. Do the hack and enjoy completing the quest with no fighting and bonus loot!

You can't caravan pack, but starting with 5 20 skilled, hand-picked pawns that are likely covered in beneficial bionics to let them zoom around the map at 10,000 mph means you'll get your basic infrastructure and moneymaking apparatus going in like a tenth of the time of a normal colony. You can indeed bring 5 horses to jumpstart caravan trading to help get your drill op going, and do that on top of bringing a drill!

Cant wait for rimwar or empire to just let you go total war to get archonexus fragments instead of having to give the factions anything.

Do psyonic powers still count as body modifications for transhumanists/body purists in 1.3? Because that has always annoyed me. I wish the game would make an exception here, so that I could play as a tribe of psycasting body purists.

Are the empire psylinks and anima tree psylinks handled differently? Gotta admit I haven't really tried using the tree much, since it seems to always spawn in an awkward spot when playing tribals

Broken Cog posted:Are the empire psylinks and anima tree psylinks handled differently?

Linking with the tree is the equivalent of using a new tier of neuroformer for a pawn. The only real difference is the investment in time to get the tree to a linkable state and that tribal psycasters don't have any royal titles ot demands.

You could install the rimworld of magic mod and have a bunch of body purist death knights instead There's also the psitech mod which is a completely not-royalty related psionics implementation that I don't believe requires implants

I just re-tested it because I was going from memory off of my first transhumanist colony in 1.3 but it does not currently count as a body mod for either transhumanists or body purists. Either I was remembering wrong or it was changed in one of the updates. I also double checked to make sure that the linking ceremony or a neuroformer makes no difference, it didn't count as a mod regardless.

a psylink defintiely did not matter in 1.2 - i had an entire thing where i failed to notice my first recruit in a particular game was a purist. i got really attached to her before i noticed, and man it was rough when i started chroming everyone up. but she had a level 3 psylink and it was whatever.

Aside from the obvious EMH, I really want to make a hologram to run my nuclear plant so I dont have to keep futzing with radiation suits They're pretty neat. You need a separate AI core or dead colonist brain sarcophagus for each but they can handle any temperature (great for spaceship repair) and otherwise can interact normally. They also get a "holographic ray" attack that lets them shoot hologram lasers at things that do tons of damage but are basically useless against armor. They added portable emitters now so you can take them on adventures but they're expensive and require constant components. They also finally fixed it so you can put holographic pants on them so depending on your ideology your colonists don't hate the hologram for having it's holographic balls hanging out all of the time.
