ShadowHawk posted:If I give my slaves both a collar and slave harness their suppression fall rate goes to 0. But this seems to have the side effect of freezing their current suppression amount where it is - my wardens no longer use the suppress ability on them. Yeah, seems to be. You should be able to boost it with a good execution or an old fashioned beat down though, it's something I've been meaning to test but none of my recent colonies have been using slaves.

The Lone Badger posted:I suspect it's overpowered, but Vanilla Weapons Expanded - Nonlethal has a tranq rifle. Tranqs are an interesting case because their accuracy is sorta poo poo (in my experience at least not sure about real stats), it takes like ten seconds for the dart to actually work, and they take FOREVER to fire, so they're pretty useless in a normal battle since people can just run up and beat you to death. Overall they're really only super useful if you want to put a specific dude to sleep so he doesnt get killed in the firefight. Also hunting, hunting with a tranq rifle is hilariously OP

Completely randomly I rescued a Hiver-Queen (from Rim-Hivers!) early on and now every 30d I get one or two brand new colonists (with intellectual disabled). I have no idea how to handle a big colony, I usually max out at 6 pawns.

Best use of a tranquilizer gun is thrumbo hunting. It’s hilariously op there. They’re useful in sieges and protracted firefights. 12 pawns show up, 1 or 2 get tranqed. As long as there are no targets of need (rocket launchers, grenadiers), then I check the oncoming enemy pawns and see if I really want one or two.

punishedkissinger posted:what are everyone's thoughts on the DLCs? worth getting? Ideology (and 1.3) 100% revived the game for me, it's amazing (but adds a lot more complexity to the gameplay) Royalty is a hodgepodge of cool stuff that may or may not be worth it depending on what you like. I like the whole idea of having a noble with mental powers and more quests but a lot of people don't think it's worth it. And there are a lot of mods that can do similar stuff.

I like the Royalty mod a lot, and I think it's the better of the two, though totally optional. It's really well polished. "Worth it" is tough here. It's probably not going to ever go on super sale. At the minimum it'll probably get you into a new and exciting 30-hour colony. That seems like a great investment. Both DLCs are re-invigorated the game for me so by that alone they are easily worth it. Plus it's great to support Ludeon here.

If you've put in a few hundred hours and you're thinking you can put in a few hundred more, yeah, the DLCs are worth it. If you're still working on your 30th hour (scrub), and you don't have cash to just throw around, mods will suit you just fine.

You can lock it at 100% this way. Feels wrong, but that's Rimworld I guess.

if they're colonists you're definitely going to want gear on them that's actually protective, yeah. i've been using broadwraps for head gear since the new patch came out and that works about as well as veils do; i miss the pain shock threshold a little but eh. broadwraps also cover the shoulders, which gives that part of the body three standard layers (shell, shirt, 'head'), rather than the 2 it otherwise has. i made the broadwrap an observance of my ideology and it's been pretty sick.

Oh drat I never really thought of it, but a devilstrand broadwrap would provide some drat good protection while still being lightweight, I'll have to check the layers but I might be able to equip them alongside the scouters from DBZ I modded in, which would be great for my long range gunmen

ShadowHawk posted:Make some wooden (or plasteel) maces, you're much more likely to pain shock them and get captives that way. Plasteel maces are barely better than steel because the material simply isn't good for blunt weapons. You're basically making a whiffle bat. Uranium maces are the big money headbonkers in vanilla.

Inexplicable Humblebrag posted:what, for capturing? won't that just crush skulls in one swing? Yeah uranium is for when you want your targets as dead as possible. If you want to capture humanoids alive (and you don't want every capture to need several prosthetics) then it's better to bonk them with something that won't outright destroy bodyparts.

Not quite since it only protects the torso while plate covers almost everything. The main benefit to flak vests is that they don't penalize movement as much and you can layer them under devilstrand coats and such, but good quality full plate is probably still better for your frontline melee sorts until you get marine armor.

If you wear flak vest + jacket, for shooter types, coverage of the legs and feet isn't quite as strong but the movement penalty is much smaller. For melees, I don't think it's as obvious, leg and feet hits seem more common in melee. This is only comparing flak vs. plasteel plate, if it's flak vs steel plate then flak is hands down much better.

I’ve settled on 3x4 for single rooms and 4x4 for doubles, but usually wind up stuffing everyone into 2x3s in the early game, before I build a proper dormitory wing. If I’ve got a noble, they get the wall between their room and the next one knocked down to satisfy their space needs.

I normally do 3x7 like this because it fits into my grid size (7x7 rooms with 3-wide hallways) when I'm building a big compound:  They get up to slightly impressive with high-quality furniture and can be boosted higher with art. I do "full" 7x7 rooms for nobles with high requirements or guest nobles. But for my cannibal/raider/supremacist/pain is virtue run, they're just so dang easy to keep happy with all horror so I said gently caress it and put them in a big barracks, especially since I'm going with a less dense disordered "shanty town" sort of setup instead of a big compound:

If you're using dub's bad hygiene, it replaces the wood with water for refilling the passive coolers (which makes more sense anyway) Granted if you're using dubs just install AC and radiators.
