Through all of the documentation and discussion about Biotech, I somehow had a fundamental misunderstanding about archogenes and hemogen -- based on nothing, I had been thinking that using any archogene created a regular hemogen need, rather than ... 🤷♂️ I guess I still don't actually know what xenogenetic combinations cause this, but at least I've figured out that the neat archogenes I've accumulated only need archite capsules to create super-colonists. I'm glad I have an individual copy of the archite metabolism gene; I had a colonist who got a permanent gunshot injury to the brain, capping consciousness at 18% and leaving them in a permanent coma, and I threw them in a biosculptor pod to restore them to full health after 1.5 quadrums. They seemed like a great first candidate for some archogenes, and now they're scarless, unstoppable, have super-fast wound healing, and archite metabolism means they need even less food than a baseline human despite these enhancements.

I got deathless + low pain and non-senescent from two outlander caravans. Finally I dare use high cell instability to offset no sleep. Now I just need a mod to enable lovin' for the no sleepers.

I have a poor, useless wretch who has no real skills and is always mutating. She came to my colony from a crashed life pod and joined up literally the second the rescuer started carrying her to a medical bed. I have her cleaning pollution, making drugs, and other minor tasks. Once my biogentics lab is up and running I'm going to see about extracting her various mutations to see what I can do with them. Never really messed with biotech so it should be educational.

Dareon posted:I do not actually condone this, but I do feel I should mention, this is a problem that would actually be fixed by genitals existing. Genitalia were never the problem, it's knowing when and where pawns can engage in lovin'. Are they supposed to hunt each other down in the middle of the day and interrupt work? Does it make sense to walk across the entire map to get lovin'? Should they be lovin' in the middle of the dining room? How frequently should they be looking to get some lovin'? "When sharing a bed" implicitly answered most of these types of questions without any additional overhead.

Dareon posted:I do not actually condone this, but I do feel I should mention, this is a problem that would actually be fixed by genitals existing. The Love Enhancer is basically bionic genitalia, so in that sense, they do exist. But like isndl points out, that's obviously really not the problem, and it's starting to feel like "this game needs fully-functioning genitals" is just your canned solution to everything  An actual solution would be to just make lovin' a recreation type that adult pawns can engage in if their social score with each other is high enough, then husband/wife teams with no-sleep genes just need to be put on the same recreation schedule. This also has the potential to add a lot more drama to colonies

How do I cure brain damage? I've got a raider who's been sitting around without being released for a whole year, and only just realised the reason why nobody's releasing him is because he took a charge minigun to the brain and is permanently comatose. I know luciferium can cure scars, but I don't have any lying around or want to buy a bunch just so I can send this guy back to the waster pirates.

Carry him to the edge of the map, give him a hit of go-juice, and try not to think about how he's probably going to collapse long before he gets home because he's not your problem anymore.

My zombieland run came to a messy end when my mod combinations managed to break(!) areas and allowed zones, and all of my colonists went outside to do things while I was busy with a caravan, and I don't feel like reloading. God bless mods. To that end, I have a question! Has anyone tried any of Mr Samuel Streamer's big mod packs? I'm looking at this one: Rimworld: RPG Adventure quote:This is a modpack designed to move entirely away from more traditional Rimworld playthroughs. Designed as a medieval world, with more powerful weapons and technology being magic focused, the focus of this modpack is travelling, questing, and gaining resources through rewards and quests, rather than mining, drilling, or slowly accumulating them in a permanent base! And that sounds worth at least one playthrough!

Is the Zombieland mod actually good or is it just conceptually good? Also, I wonder if it'd be fun with a tribal/medieval slow playthrough

I usually do something like this but you can do two full length horizontal or vertical rows, whatever p much Is this any better than building a heated building with a sun lamp on actual soil? I always figured it wasn't and this never used hydroponics at all. I just built unfloored buildings in this exact shape over soil. I guess I lose a single square for the heater doing it that way. I just thought that the hydroponics yield was less than the yield for regular soil growth, which doesn't necessarily make a lot of sense; however that one square isn't going to make or break you, and the setup requires less construction and I skip having to research hydroponics altogether.

IIRC hydroponics is 2.5x faster than normal growth, and also being indoors means you don't have to worry about cold snaps, or seasons in general, or toxic fallout, or random brush fires, or wandering animals eating crops, etc, etc.

ZombieLenin posted:Is this any better than building a heated building with a sun lamp on actual soil? I always figured it wasn't and this never used hydroponics at all. I prefer actual soil because you can grow corn and devilstrand on it, but hydroponics have insane fertility: 280%, compared to regular soil's 100%. Still, I only use hydroponics if I don't have ready access to fertile soil because I'd rather grow corn than rice. In mountain bases I'll build psychoid farms under the mountain while growing corn in heated buildings within my perimeter wall

That map was too hot for normal plant growth, i had to build a cooled building to grow devilstrand at all, and all colonists had to wear all devilstrand everything -- full armor is death, best case for armor i could figure out was devilstrand shirts, flack pants and vests, devilstrand dusters, and marine helmets. The rice takes a lot of work but at least the overhead mountain eases the temp load enough that it grows without getting stunted or rolling brownouts. I luckily had alpacas for camelhide before the shrooms came in.

It was more intended to make the laugh into a pitying one, a "poor, jizz-brained fool" chuckle. I've hosed up, I know I've hosed up, no more talk of genitals on these weird round nugget people from me. Not even gonna  the minor inaccuracies my brain is screaming at me to address, I'm bludgeoning this wet lump of chemicals into a socially-acceptable shape if it kills me.

... aaaanyway, I went with Way Better Romance, seems to do the trick. Although the base chances for sexuality at 20% straight, 60% bi 20% gay might need some tweaking. Everyone having a chance with 80% of the population seems bit much.

I'll tell the head cook to make food as finally the hunters brought in enough meat to feed everyone so we stop eating packaged survival meals, and whoops looks like the crafter decided to, after I had moved on to something else (expecting the cook to keep cooking), come over to ask the chef to hang out and the two of them are wandering off around the animal pens discussing robots an hour later instead of making the loving meals I told them to and only 4 meals got made.
