With regard to the golden eyes, ah well. It’s still incredibly funny that my religious counselor who’s also our combination jailer/headhunter is wearing a fancy hat with a pair of dull golden orbs visible while everyone else’s cavernous sockets are covered by blindfolds, and I’m still getting willing recruits. “gently caress Yeah Brother, I’m giving up my cannibalistic nature worship to join your fungus cult, Gouge Me The gently caress Up!” Then, after the bleeding has stopped “WHAT DO YOU MEAN I DONT GET TREASURE BALLS FOR MY FACE” e: ^^^ you are deity posting among mere ants, I am awed

girl dick energy posted:As the ive actually found that greatbows are in a really strange spot. they're worse than bolt-actions and they require enough Crafting skill that if you are making them your crafter is already reasonably competent. in most cases i'd rather just get gunsmithing for 100 research points more and also get some short-range options far superior to tribal accoutrements to boot. the main reason why i wouldn't do this is because i am so scared of early attacks (cranked up difficulty level, low number of human enemies in the area, etc) that i don't feel like i can wait for Machining. if they didn't require research it would be a completely different matter, but they do.

clubs are way better than they have any right to be early on when nothing's armored and you can swarm individual enemies. half the time i will just poo poo out a few of those and call it good for a bit.

You could set up a scenario where you have to prepare to fight off regular raids, and an ideology that abhors slavery but likes fighting I guess.

You can make the Empire hostile by accepting the Deserter. I guess that’s not permanently hostile like pirates though? It ought to function the same except you can occasionally get a quest from the Empire even when you’re at war, presumably as a mechanic to eventually normalize relations.

I was just thinking for purposes of the potential escaped slaves scenario. Being anti empire from the start would be a way to differentiate

Danaru posted:Once they get into melee range, I just get my dudes to dogpile the animal rather than pray they can actually hit a stationary target. Only trust your fists There's a mod that lets pawns have sidearms, which I immediately installed when I saw it because WHY WOULDN'T THEY? Of course a hunter would carry a knife it's absurd to think they wouldn't. How are they finishing off those downed animals anyway - punching them to death? OwlFancier posted:You could set up a scenario where you have to prepare to fight off regular raids, and an ideology that abhors slavery but likes fighting I guess. The Medieval mod start is a little like this - you begin with no food and are almost immediately attacked by the medieval faction you apparently split off from.

Bows are hilarious when you get a few trigger-happy shooters with them and they just go plinking non-stop since their cooldown is practically zero.

It will cause more, in particular if they are put on an abrasive pawn. The more likely to cause social fights, the more you want a debuff on social impact.

Kid's lucky being born with the right beliefs or we could be seeing some serious apostasy penalties there. Still gets a social malus for not being chromed though.

It definitely seems like that's the intent, but I haven't been able to make it work. For folks who've used SOS2, do its shuttles deprecate SRTS Expanded craft, or is there a reason to run both?

SOS2 shuttles have much shorter range than SRTS shuttles but they're fast as hell and the uranium fuel pods they run on are trivial to make if you have a little uranium. In my current colony I keep the SOS2 ones for short hops nearby or to and from my space ship but I use the SRTS ones for larger/longer trading runs around the map.

I haven't tried using SRTS shuttles with my ship, honestly. With my fission reactor and engines running on uranium fuel pods already I figured I might as well stick to SOS2 shuttles and remove chemfuel from the equation entirely. I do know that one of them throws a warning in the debug log during launch about a compatibility patch not yet available, presumably so that the SRTS shuttle can land in the shuttle bay like the SOS2 shuttle?

Last I checked SRTS ships don't land in the shuttle bay but they can still reach orbit and "land" anywhere on the map. You'll need space suits for anyone along for the ride though while they duck through an airlock. SOS2's shuttles are unsurprisingly much better integrated but the SRTS ships have way bigger range and (generally) larger cargo capacity, so they can still work well together. Granted this may have changed in the meanwhile, last time I really did much with SOS2 it was after the last major patch and SRTS compatibility wasn't patched in yet.

Omnicarus posted:It will cause more, in particular if they are put on an abrasive pawn. The more likely to cause social fights, the more you want a debuff on social impact. i actually don't know if this is true. i don't know how a social fight chance is calculated and if social impact has any hand in it, directly or indirectly. if social fights become more likely as relationship trends to -100, then yes, it would have an indirect impact since social impact makes each insult knock off more relationship. but i've never looked at that code so i am not sure. the actual answer - at least for this thread, since most folks are DLC-buyers - is that with ideology it doesn't matter, though. cowboy hats do not cover the face, ears, etc, and you can get that coverage from a broadwrap. it might not provide fantastic bulletproofing, but it's drat sight better than nothing.

Does anyone else get to a point where they’ve survived a good while, built a decent settlement but after discovering a bunch of tech and unlocking some new stuff, you realise you need to fundamentally reorganise your base and it’ll require tearing down whole structures and moving them and then deciding “gently caress it, I’ll start anew, making sure to make space”. And then repeating when circumstances force you to throw up buildings quickly and haphazardly and you end up in the same situation

This is why every Rimworld run I do includes... uh... too many hours meticulously planning out buildings shortly after the start of the game. It's a curse, but it's the only thing that has freed me from the cycle of "eh, gently caress it, just build something there --> oh god this looks terrible burn it all down."

I honestly don't mind redesigning my base mid-run too much; it's much easier/faster/safer to build small early on and expand as you need to. The only part I really have to make drat sure that I don't gently caress up the size/placement of is my storage room, because having to move/reorganize the storage room in a mid-late base takes literally days of nonstop hauling from all hands on deck.

I generally play in Mountain maps with infestations turned off. I find infestations annoying but also my base design is more interesting as my rooms follow the contours of the mountains to maximize farming lands. It helps control my impulse to just make a grid of 12x12 square rooms.

When I'm playing on flat maps or small hills I will shamelessly use dev mode to delete random singular tiles of overhead mountain roofing so I don't have to build around leaving one tile of it exposed and calling in a 500 hive infestation from that one tile. It's part of the cost of having large hills or mountains but god drat is it stupid on flat maps and small hills.
