Kestral posted:For anyone who wants to think about that along with me, the fictional gimmick of native tinctoria is that the colorant it produces is psychoreactive: you can’t do the glitterworld-intended thing of being able to choose what color the plant grows like a Photoshop palette anymore, but whatever color it does produce will change depending on the psychic environment nearby, and I imagine it has an effect on texture as well – if you’ve seen the first episode of Foundation, the Emperor’s mural wall would probably be made with this stuff. Clothing dyed with it might shift subtly in tint and shade over the course of an emotionally-charged conversation, a painting made with the pigments captures the emotions and intentions of a psylinked imperial artist and reflects them more clearly to the viewer, that sort of thing. this provides a very good reason for combat suppliers to buy the dye. imperial psycasters and tribal chieftains that have natural psylinks would enthusiastically pursue the rich dye in order to increase the power of their psycasts, while every other soldier that might be fighting those psycasters would want the common version of it in case the psycaster they're trying to shoot tosses nausea pulse their way. players will appreciate it for the same reason. being able to buff the psychic sensitivity of your trader with a psychic reader right before going into negotiations would be really sick, and having everyone able to throw on common dyes to take the edge off of a high gendered drone would make those situations feel less punishing. they're niche uses, but farming is simple and they don't exactly go bad after crafting so is there any real downside to having all your psykers carry around two rich kits, and make two common kits standard issue to everyone?

drat those sound kinda neat Coolguye. And here I was thinking about, "hey maybe you could also throw a "painting" art piece in that mod that uses the dye and can be mounted on a wall or something!" ooohhhh maybe they can give better boosts to meditation bonuses when placed near their appropriate meditation spot and have different themes for the different spots.

You could conceivably add tattoos as a surgery using the dye, if you don't mind a bit of feature creep. Beauty modifiers, psychic sensitivity modification, possibly pain shock threshold if you want to extend the war mask logic.

I think there was a mod called something like Megacorps that did something similar?)

kestral already mentioned they're not a great modder, friends, a lot of the things you're suggesting are quite elaborate and also use completely different systems than the consumptive/drug systems they're already engaging with.

Thinking about reinstalling this one with the new ideologies. Are there any good "more is more" mod packs? Manually ordering mods through rules of thumb + trial and error is just too painful. Having one mostly set up for me that I can slide a few extra mods into and remove a few others would be ideal, you know?

Honestly modding is pretty simple and you don't need to get crazy specific in ordering. Put libraries and certain other things that specifically mention it at the top of the list (hugslib, SRTS, etc), keep mods that modify other mods below their dependencies, and you're generally good to go. Rimworld is astoundingly elegant about how it handles huge mod lists.

As someone who started a new Ideology game too, I highly recommend using the Rimpy mod manager. It makes your life a lot easier to move mods around and it even has an auto sorting option. I've gone from having 3 mods to roughly 40 with no problems at all.

Coolguye posted:basically every game that has ever attempted to implement a larger economy has made a complete mess of it so i'm not super eager to watch rimworld give it a shot, truthfully. if it is part of a larger play where demand actually means something and settlements will rise and fall based upon unfilled opportunities and unmet needs respectively then sure that's basically how the X series runs and it can get really interesting. but if we're going back to another dwarf fortress setup where people arbitrarily gut the prices of certain commodities and spike the prices of others then i'm not really convinced that's bringing anything to the table - especially considering how easy it is to be self-sufficient in Rimworld, crashes for your preferred trade goods would just mean you'd stop trading for a while and there would be only schizophrenic upsides for you. I like the idea of each settlement just having a semi-randomly-assigned export good that they specialize in and sell at a discount, and another trade good that they will pay above market for. And maybe you don't find out what those things are until you visit each settlement.

Coolguye posted:this being the case i'd re-fluff it as what amounts to henna with a psychic sensitivity twist. the common dye version is -10% psychic sensitivity when used, the rich dye version is +10% psychic sensitivity. the 'high' lasts X hours and there's no addiction chance under any circumstances because bro it's henna. Oh-ho, I like that. “Niche useful” is right where it should be, and psychic sensitivity fits the theme. I’ll get started on this and the flake variant tonight and see where it takes me. Re: feature creep and my modding capabilities, yeah, the reality is that I can only do so much with this, plus I do want the core concept of “I can make a valuable cash crop that isn’t spacedrugs” to hew very closely to vanilla, so that people who don’t like to go much beyond vanilla can still use it. That said, I love the suggestions that are being made. I’ve put the whole thing under a Creative Commons license, and I’d have absolutely no issues with more competent modders taking what I’ve started and spinning out more elaborate systems from what I’ve started – in fact, it’d be an honor. Once I put this thing public, I’d be happy to see it take on a life beyond what my limited abilities can give it.

Rimpy is so useful and important that if you're running more than a couple of mods I would say it's completely essential. It has saved me literally hours of time that would have been wasted loving around with mod load orders, reloading the game, and making sure all of my mods are up to date.

I'm a bit bothered that sight gets capped so often when calculating work speed on various tasks. I like that idea of something different that you could apply to various biological parts that would get enhanced by the tattooed dye.

Huh! I'll have a look at those licenses tomorrow. I'm certainly not going to expend much time and energy over mod plagiarism, but what I more have in mind is empowering folks like the absolutely heroic person who keeps updating abandoned mods, or who seem to crop up from time to time on promising mods from old versions to say, "I like this and I want to do more with it, can I?" Speaking of which, Native Dyes updated to version 1.1. I won’t spam the thread with updates and changelogs, but I do want to post this one here to give a heads-up to folks who downloaded the original version, since it may affect them. Also, it’s nearly much in a state I’m happy with for taking it public, barring a little more polishing, so it seems like a good time to show what folks here helped make! Changelog posted:Terminology changes. The refined products of native tinctoria are now known as spectra dyes, spectra pigments, and spectra decoctions. I’ll be curious to know how the stat effects on consumption end up, in game balance terms. I suspect I’m going to want to tune spectra decoction down a bit, but we’ll see. Oh, and I found out why my tinctoria only requires 30% light to grow: it’s because actual tinctoria, from which I partially copied the stats, only requires 30% light to grow! TIL, you can grow vanilla dye plants under a floor lamp  I have no idea what to do with this information, but I feel like there's something fun you could do with a mountain base full of flowers.

So I got a quest to take on 33 Fission Mice in exchange for some sweet loot, a creature I'd never heard of before and immediately assume would explode in a nuclear blast or something, but I took it on out of curiosity. Turns out Fission mice split into three when killed, and then those new mice also split into a further three each.  This doesn't show the the army of them still milling around, since the manhunter state doesn't transfer to the offspring, so I'm currently marshalling every colonist who is capable into butchering this lot before it rots, at which point I'll likely have enough meat to tide me over for an entire year.

Turns out the drought event (I'm assuming from Vanilla Events Expanded) does in fact override the "it'll rain if x number of tiles are on fire" rule, so this was a bad time to throw a molotov onto my post-raid corpse pile.

MIT license is this: code:apache 2.0 is a little more restrictive and legal-y. i'll just link an example of that one since it's spammy af for this context: https://choosealicense.com/licenses/apache-2.0/ the net effect here is that if someone builds off your work, in addition to acknowledging your contributions as the MIT license above, they ALSO have to call it something different (even if it's just "native dyes redux" or some poo poo) because it constitutes a state change from your original work. it still has the 'as is' stuff that keeps people from yelling at you for bugs. you can also just go full anarchy and go for The Unlicense: https://choosealicense.com/licenses/unlicense/ this literally just says "you can't yell at me for bugs but beyond that do whatever the black gently caress you want i am beyond caring". creative commons has an entire battery of sub-licenses that navigate the specifics of writing random bodies of work rather than specifically code (which lives in its own context of being executable, iterable, bugs existing, etc). here's a few links to specific variants for different corpus situations and you'll see what i mean pretty fast: https://choosealicense.com/licenses/cc0-1.0/ https://choosealicense.com/licenses/cc-by-4.0/ https://choosealicense.com/licenses/cc-by-sa-4.0/ basically if you start reading it all the language of work trying to establish what the corpus being freed up is will gently caress with code because a codebase can be vivisected for a few functions and still be valuable, so it's arguable if the license applies. obv in am subtly pushing the MIT license here. it's really permissive but ensures that you have a right to be thanked for your work.

Hi thread, is there a mod that limits raid-enemies to your tech-level (or below)? As much as I want to like this game, getting raided by peeps in marine armour and/or rocket launchers (or ******* mechanoids) when I'm only on bows & arrows or pistols is starting to grate on me.

You can do it with the world customization options added in the 1.3 patch. Just remove all factions that aren't tribal or medieval (as well as the Mechanoid faction, empire, etc...).

Just remove all factions that aren't tribal or medieval (as well as the Mechanoid faction, empire, etc...). Thanks, but sadly that's not quite what I meant. The different factions & armament types provide a nice amount of variety - and I want to play with those toys too! - but I don't want to be raided by them while I'm still using hilariously primative technology (compared to what the raiders are using). Once I'm past e.g. Industrial I'm happy enough for them to be possible adversaries, but not when I've only just discovered electricity. So I guess I want something that dynamically reduces/expands the raid equipment/faction options, based upon the colony's current technology level. Does anyone know of a mod that does anything like this?

Yeah, bionic arm is the answer. Unfortunately if you lose a shoulder, you can't use field hands/drill arms anymore, which kinda sucks. Can only be attached to biological arms, not bionic ones
