Yeah I’m very excited to see so many popular mod-types rolled into official gameplay. Worst case I won’t have to use those mods anymore, best case the new systems will allow those mods to be better than ever.

I can definitely get rid of my babies mod. I can probably stop using my alien races because most of them are of the “FFXIV port catgirls” variety. I’ll have to see what the VE does with VEM but I might get to uninstall that because I was using it more for the drones than the factories.

Mzbundifund posted: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. I actually like not being able to have "one of everything" when it comes to factions. Makes every game feel a little more distinct instead of ok, here's the generic angry tribe, here's the generic angry space men, etc. I've never used a stack size mod but I was on the verge of caving in because trying to manage a colony of 10+ pawns is just a nightmare in terms of sheer storage requirements. The materials, food and equipment eat up so much space and you have to defend it all or the raiders will just walk away with it. I'm glad we have a vanilla solution now.

I wonder if the gas system will also simulate things like, open fires indoors, air quality etc. Might be nice to have to lay out a ventilation system or give things other options for being unsuitable for indoor use other than not allowing construction of them indoors or generating tonnes of heat.

I was more thinking maybe you would just have to add vents or something, or you get poor air quality, or maybe other changes I dunno. Guess I'm just curious if "gas system" means something other than just items generating a bad health circle around them. Having a whole air production/purification/atmospherics system could be quite fun for high tech bases.

I was assuming it would probably be done on the same basis as the temperature system, on a per-room basis but without the loss through walls and ceiling.

I assume they would've mentioned if the gas system was that far ranging. But hey now it's there maybe mods can hook into it easily enough.

Lt. Lizard posted:So, for actual content, one of the many child and family mods + What the Hack? + pawn-focused Genetic Rimworld + a completely new pollution thing? Plus a lot of the cool stuff from Vanilla Factions Expanded: Mechanoids. It's not a 1:1 but there are a lot of similarities, and I like all of it. Also the Shelf changes are basically a lightweight form of the shelves from Deep Storage, a welcome change. Shelves are way more useful now that there's a 1x shelf and now that they hold 3x more than the floor. I expect to be building a lot more shelves, like actual pantries instead of just a big room with meat and corn spread out all over the floor Shelf costs are also being reduced from 30 to 20 and build faster. Other things I really like in the changelog quote:Added firefoam pop pack. Hell yes, now basically anyone can have Waterskip. It won't be targetable but I'm guessing the radius is bigger quote:In addition to all the prisoners you got before, now you’ll get a new class of prisoner who is unwaveringly loyal to their home This is actually pretty cool and incentivizes all of the non-recruitment options. Sometimes you'll get 1 guy who just refuses to be recruited, but gladiator battles are always on the table! quote:Added a "cut all blight" command to blighted plants. quote:Major startup and load time improvements. Launching RimWorld and loading savegames are both roughly 37% faster.

The changelog doesn't talk about the gas system very much, it sounds like it's for lingering radial effects that cause health conditions. It mentions "disgusting rot stink gas" from corpses that can cause "lung rot" disease, and "blind smoke" presumably blinds people for a little while

The Gas system does have promise to make SOS2 much more interesting with regards to oxygen levels in space.

What word starts with W and ends with Y? Wizardry? Wiley? Wacky? No thanks; time to pull the plug. -Tynan, probably. Edit: Hear me out though: straight up wizardry-style dungeon crawler in Rimworld's engine. New maps on deeper floors, trying to scrounge up enough food to not have to eat the wizard. Ate food off a mimic -10 mood

It can still be R.I.B.W.O.R.L.D, which is what I'm hoping for. W could be for Water and integrate Dubs Bad Hygiene and boats/other vehicles!

Awesome. Deep Storage was the mod I would probably miss the most. Being able to trade work for map space is a game changer. Also nerfing recruitment changes it up. The colony I sold last on my current archotech run had 80+ colonists using the old 'everyone who survives joins, here's a gun, there's the kilbox' strategy.

It's a small change but I like the addition of people you cannot recruit. It always felt weird from a narrative standpoint that your colony was often made up almost entirely of kidnapped attackers that you completely brainwashed. Somehow. If some or most of your attackers are unwaiveringly loyal, then it's clear that the ones you can recruit are the uninvested grunts who didn't have much investment in their faction anyway. The whole expansion looks great. I'm always a big fan of robots and automation and this looks like a fun implementation.

Pawns need so much space, storage needs so much space, killboxes need so much space. I can't go back to vanilla, I am accustomed to rules I made up in my head.

Most of the ones that were updated also don't really touch anything 1.4 does too, so I imagine it was much easier to update. Especially since you don't have things like the Pen system/animal overhaul in 1.4 that touch a bunch of mods that aren't affiliated with the main gimmick of the expansion. Though I imagine VE: Mechanoids is gonna get a rework at some point once the DLC releases since it has a ton of overlap with the new Biotech Mechanoids stuff.

I admit I don't use apparel exapnded since... yeah it was a bit too much buffs and added way too much cruft (gloves and boots tended to make temperature a non-issue for example). Might try it in the rotation again.

I hope it adds new ideology memes. Could see anti-natalist being a funny one. Also does that mean they're adding genitals as a damageable body part?
