Love to hear this after an hour or so of assembling my Caveman to Cosmos modlist. But yeah honestly curious about what it will be. In other news that Animal Genetics mod is super simple but adds a whole new level to ranching. Currently breeding a meat bearing breed of Edmontosaurus to see my colony through the harsh winters. I've gotten them from 336 meat per animal to 490, with a small increase in leather too.

oh yes mods, how long do they take to get up to speed with an expansion? I should sit on this until summer sale for best experience should I?

Entirely depends on the complexity of the mod, what changes in the game/expansion effect the mod, and how motivated the developer is. Some could take hours to update, others weeks. And then continue to have odd bugs or poor balance for even longer. I'd either just stop playing for a bit, or set steam to offline mode and keep playing the current colony for a time so nothing updates itself and goes sideways.

A while, though there is some chatter I guess about making it be easier this time around to update the mods. If you have a dedicated mod list you love and can't live without it might be best to wait until someone updates it.

I will turn off all the mods this time, too, just to get a feel for the new mechanics before adding back QoL mods. Those tend to update quickly, and I play slow so the bigger extended content mods have time to update.

I'm having a weird problem that I can't seem to find an answer to. I have colonists who had missing noses (and thus we're disliked due to being disfigured). I finally managed to put aesthetic noses on them, but they still have the social penalty with other colonists and it is continuously causing fights. Any idea why they're still considered disfigured?

A lot going on here, but everyone in this screengrab is dead now except Sparkles. We got a Man in Black who managed to carry her out and they are currently two tiles south of here on the world map. I guess it is my fault, this is a no-killbox, no-turret, minimal mods run, but god drat randy hosed me with the simultaneous mech drop pods and bug infestation

I like to create walls separating my farm plots, they're handy for blocking the spread of blight and raging infernos. Plus that's a lot easier to defend when you get drop-podded by mechanoids or whatever

Plus that's a lot easier to defend when you get drop-podded by mechanoids or whatever It's a good idea. that base layout just sucked. I had a great base one time where everything was these twisty, two-tile-wide cobblestone streets with lots of blind corners and back doors. It forced every engagement to be at shotgun range, super easy to defend and I didn't lose that colony until we started up the spaceship. I think I'll do that style for the next one. There's only so much you can do about that many centipedes though. I think we have 3 or 4 dead ones in the fire there, and we got all the lancers/scythers, but it was just too many to engage in the open like that. I think I could have pulled that one out if I didn't forget that EMP will also disable your melee guy's shields, that was a big tactical mistake

AG3 posted:Mechanoid raids are 90% the reason why I prefer to build my bases as far inside the mountains as I can get. If you do, be sure you're able to drop the entire base to very freezing temperatures in a minute so you can very quickly stop this. Or just keep the entire base in freezing temperatures anyways so this can't happen. Or set up a bait area that can safely spawn them.

I'm a coward and just disable insectoids when I build a mountain base. Edit: I especially hate it when something destroys my carefully smoothed stone walls, any replacement will always look out of place for having a different color!

Torrannor posted:I'm a coward and just disable insectoids when I build a mountain base. Same. I keep the ones that can spawn when you use drills, but the regular insectoid spawns I just disable outright. Mostly just because it's such a god-awful loving mess to clean up afterwards even if my base is at the point where I can easily repel them.

See I quite like designing a base around the idea that insects could spawn literally anywhere in it. Never too much wealth in any single room, every room is a module designed to be set on fire and sealed at any given time, etc. It's an interesting challenge.

Highlights: Added custom color lights. Players can change their lamp colors to any color after completing “colored lights” research. Added painting system: Paint walls, floors, and some furniture and buildings with dye harvested from the tinctoria crop. Added new gas system and health conditions. Shelves hold up to 3 stacks of most items. Exceptions include large corpses, chunks, and minified things. Added a single-tile small shelf. Shelves can be linked into groups for easier management. Carried things can now be added to caravans. Allow players to select Things pawns are holding by either slow clicking, using the widget when the carrying pawn is selected, or using the "next thing in cell" button.

Yep, shelves holding multiple items, actually visually interesting weapons and of course cat girls, dog girls and/or fox girls. And possibly techno-vampires. This DLC seems to have it all.  EDIT: Whoa a system to simulate gas? Modders will have a field day with that.

Yes. YES. There is nothing here I do not like. The only 'issue' is how all the assorted alien races currently existing are going to adapt to the gene modding, but I'm excited about that too. Could I create moonjellies that do not die to a stiff breeze? The possibilities are endless.

Update 1.4 on unstable branch posted:Actually useful shelves that store lots of stuff: Fill your storerooms with shelves, which can now hold up to 3 stacks of most items. (Our testers were very excited with this one!) There is also a 1-tile mini-shelf. Shelves should help to keep your colony tidy and organized, and protect your items. Interesting, might be enough to get me away from using stack size increasing mods.

Also Tynan's blurb gives some other interesting tidbits:quote:It added more variation to the human world, in the form of different types of factions. Instead of just different human factions with different diplomatic orientations, now those different factions are dominated by different types of xenohumans. This alters how they fight, which makes combats more distinct from each other. Fighting a raid of furred yttakin warriors is quite different from a raid of baseliner humans, or neanderthals, or fire-breathing impids, or pigskins. There’s a lot of fun colorful differences between them too - a raid of squealing pig people feels quite different from a raid of bear-calling furred yttakin. Factions having distinct xeno-human varieties that make up the majority of the faction is pretty awesome.

I wonder if the faction system is changing in some way. The current game gives you a warning if you try to have too many factions and there’s already barely enough space for one each of the factions, let alone mod-added ones or the ones from this new DLC.
