A held open door will slow people down more than almost anything else, for some reason. Flesh Forge did the science back here: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=0&threadid=3598337&pagenumber=1228&perpage=40#post527543698 Additionally with the way the door coding works for allowing people to peak around a door corner and attack, it will let people attack through corners for an incredibly cheesy killbox where the enemy literally cannot attack you back.

How my last colony died: volanic winter + ideology that makes it so that eating meat / killing animals is abhorrent + never did research hydroponics = we can kill the rhino herd and use the meat but everyone is desperately unhappy, mood breaking, leaving the colony/going insane. I could probably keep going and see who survives this spiral (the vampires probably) but it's time for more mods and a fresh start and smarter play.

from left to right: - held-open door + chunks - held-open cloth animal flap + chunks - held-open fence gate, no chunks - solid line of chunks - gapped line of chunks - chunks/trees   inferring that solid lines of chunks is unhelpful, so one more variation, held-open door + alternating chunks (this is valid in vanilla, you can place stockpiles on top of doors):  a new winner emerges!

Pawns are slowed going through doors that are directly adjacent to each other. If you leave a gap between the doors, they'll pass through at full speed. Why that's the case, I have no idea. Doors are a giant list of exceptions in Ribworld.

Flesh Forge did the science back here: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=0&threadid=3598337&pagenumber=1228&perpage=40#post527543698 !? kinda lame tbh. I'm philosophically against killboxes and have decided to sink excess wealth into rocket launchers cause a trade ship has 6 and i never really used them before. "You have to be crazy to use this weapon," what could possibly go wrong? Point and pull the trigger, right? -- I'm now at the point where i have Too Many Colonists. Everything is fully researched and half the time it's just people wandering around or getting drunk, and I'm getting raids with double the entire colony and they're starting to get towards the turret defense lines. I only have like 4 decent-ish fighters and a dude waving around the same starting revolver that dropped with us, skill 2 in shooting, and an elephant and panther. The rest have engraved plasma and assault rifles. Engraved weapons are cool imo because they'll get names that are evocative or weird like "Night Hyena" or "A Chinchilla's Shanker." IMO if you're carrying a legendary or masterwork weapon you should get some kind of mood boost because of it. I need to stick with devilstrand clothes + flack pants and vest + marine helmet, but the slowdown is noticeable. We'd go full marine armor except according to the wiki spacer tech does nothing against 70℃ summers for some reason? I got 2 quests to take out pirate camps that I should be able to roll over, but we need to pod in and back -- I never should have agreed to do these and instead should have just launched more gifts if i wanted the rep boost. It's the podding back that's annoying as hell, because I need to try and calc how much outbound pod space needs to be return fuel and who knows what's good in the camp and what i'd want to bring back and what the actual number of return pods I'll need to build, and if i burn down the entire enemy camp we'll be exposed to the elements for a couple days. Sparkles is getting very close to restoring her 20 in crafting tho, so it's not like I'm lacking for parts. In order to get to the ship I need to load all this garbage and supplies and cool furniture I want to keep and relay pod a chain of bases to the south pole, which is going to actually suck when I have like 15 people & have to repeatedly set up a decent ish base 6 or 8 times in a row, and make sure I have enough food to survive. The last time I tried this it became impossible really quick because a ton of negative events started kicking in on both bases simultaneously. -- Is there a way to "give" a pawn to a faction? All my guys have cool and interesting backstories, except one is extra weird and different: an apocalypse pariah who's married to the leader of a faction. Basically i plan on trying to launch the ship with everyone except her, and then end the run the way the lone adventurer starts. Figure out where her husband is and try to reunite. Which seems either impossible (because i don't know where this dude lives or how to find out), or just crazily brutal. But if you can't give up a pawn then Whatever way it goes it should be cool, but honestly i load this loving game and it's just... "this is going to be a huge pain in the rear end." *alt+f4* It's the closest I've gotten to being able to complete this dumb global warming gimmick and... pfff...

that gives me an idea: highly technological colony that goes deep into genetic modding, eventually (d)evolving into a melee-only, alcohol-dependent, short, tough tribal-level xenorace is there a way to reset research for a colony? i know you can technically restart the game with the same colonists in one of the game's endings (just dont know which)

the archonexus quest does this, it is essentially newgame+ and lets you handpick 5 colonists and 5 animals (possibly now including 5 mechs) it lets you pick a new site, resets tech research etc.

I wanted to do this run as my last ultra-vanilla one before just slamming cash into buying all the expansions (probably i have missed the sale on royalty because of this). It won't matter if she's the last colonist anyway. Although i've never beaten the game and don't know how to actually launch the ship, or if it can be launched with someone still left behind or anything. I don't think i have the ability to enslave people so maybe i can't just send someone to be enslaved?

I'm currently building the ship in order to send off the colonists I don't want. I do like the idea of that mod sending off the colonists. But I also like the wealth hit from having built and sent off the ship, as well as the huge number of raids. Thematically I like it too.

My next Rimworld adventure I'm going to enable saves so I have the courage to explore and understand more of the game. I basically don't understand how leaving your home map works and I've never done it in hundreds of hours played. I've been told it's not a big deal and I mostly don't care but I need to open up my options. Right now I've having problem with personnel. None of my colonists like each other, and none of them are hooking up. I have 10 at the moment, but I really need a few more to keep things running smoothly. Humanoids almost never attack, and when they do I've been efficient at killing them instead of imprisoning them (favoring assault rifles at the moment). Maybe I need to consider a "capture" party defense. The game is almost exclusively sending mechanoids, insects and manhunter packs at me.

Yeah I don't think there is any specific critical existence failure state due to age, it's just you're rolling a shitload of debilitating and hard to fix conditions and immunity craters as you age so diseases become unsurvivable even with good medicine, have to stuff them in the fish tank every time they get a cold.

I got rimworld back in early access before caravans and played most of my hours back then and then never engaged with the system after release. That is until biotech and my current run! Caravanning so far for me has just been exploring the random places that pop up near my settlement. It's a good little system once you know how to form and move your caravan around. I missed a couple of rescue missions before I figured it out which is a shame. I'm also still making mistakes like not having medical skill in my caravan but it certainly expands your options a lot rather than waiting for Randy to hook you up with this month's terrible tragedy. I've also figured.out what to do with my kids! One of them just got a life development and is my first pawn with a passion for crafting!
