really annoying side effect of that Fetch For Me mod: animals can go through doors and won't stay penned, and you can't assign them to an area, so idk if I'll be sticking with that mod Boundary Training mod (works around this specific problem with extra training) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2635034257 better, Customize Animals (just lets you disable the Roam Interval for specific animals and incidentally includes trainability settings, so it obsoletes the Fetch For Me mod anyway  ):https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2587157544 Flesh Forge fucked around with this message at 16:43 on Apr 17, 2023 |

apparently they nerfed acid fog a ton, it doesn't kill plants any more (even ordinary plants like cotton and hops) so starting with permanent toxic fog is less unreasonable, although the map is still completely barren when you start and you won't get any animals ever, even herd migration is blocked  e: the compromise they made was a) sunlight is partially blocked (72% in my map near the equator) and b) there is an additional large plant growth rate debuff, so my plants are growing at 22% at best. not practical to do this with tribals unless you're willing to take a lot of food with you at start or just cheat some in, because there is just nothing to eat and nothing to use for fuel e: yeah I don't recommend the permanent acid smog scenario unless you just want a mildly less difficult take on toxic fallout. not terribly fun or interesting, just a verrrrrrrrrrrrry slow farming scenario and you'll never get animals except via trading or a lucky manhunter incident.

The readme says that radiation is related to wall HP, and the armored plasteel has a higher HP last I checked. in my experience with rimatomics radiation shielding is completely irrelevant unless you want to stockpile nuclear waste in your babyroom for whatever extremely suburban reason, even wooden walls are enough as long as you keep radioactive poo poo isolated in low-traffic areas and don't mix burned fuel in with regular stockpiles

So I bought this in the most recent sale on a whim, didn't really give it a shot until now, but it's eaten my April (after taking basically three days to unpause the game on start and somehow missing the pack of aggressive insects that had spawned literally right next to my landing spot, thaaaaanks) Anyway that's not why I'm here, everyone survived that just fine. I'm here because one of my colonists fell in love with/got engaged to a temporary quest guest from another faction who I had to send away on a shuttle and I'm wondering if there's any way to bring them back on a permanent basis?

well if you see them again that is pawns that appear on your map are "in the world" and can potentially come back in many situations, you won't be alerted to this unless it's a blood or marriage relationship though

I had some refugees join for a while, and then a child refugee's dad turned up as part of a trading caravan. How much of a deadbeat do you have to be to let your kid sleep in a badly-heated barrack with some strangers rather than take your kid home?

I got the nutrient paste pipes, a mod that makes babies able to eat nutrient paste, and a mod that lets need bars overfill. The side-effect of all these things together is that the nutrient paste dripper feeds the baby a full-sized meal, then it barfs all over my floor because it's horrendously overfed.

Paste pipes are great. No longer does your dining room have to be adjacent to your freezer. Nor do you need a new freezer for your prison. Just pipe that stuff wherever. As someone who always plays mechanitor these days, it's great to have an extra dispenser in your hospital because your medical bot will feed patients automatically. I know there's a nutrient paste drip in the mod too, but that's a lot of infrastructure when you might as well just have a dispenser and a bot. The only issue I ran into was I got just a little bit of human meat in the paste vat and my unconverted prisoners are being babies and throwing tantrums about it. There's barely any human meat in your paste, get over it! There's a good chance it's not even one of your comrades. Oh well. I guess miserable prisoners can have a crisis of belief which might make converting them easier. Once they're converted the human meat is no problem.

the paste pipes have a weird interaction with whatever mod it is that provides the framework for alien races they count human meat as alien meat, so all my cannibal transhumanists are going "uggh, this paste tastes like aliens!" and hating it.

I gave up on HAR altogether because there's so much junk in there that does nothing but cause conflicts. I miss my robots so dearly  I half assed looked for new xenotypes shortly after Biotech's launch, even the one fox eared race I added for variety adds a bunch of crap like weapons I'll never, ever use. At least the Kijins added a dope hot spring and smelting silver and gold into price stable ingots

Yeah the only real reason to use HAR these days is if you have to use a legacy race mod for whatever reason. Or if you don't own Biotech I guess.

It also allows for actual 'aliens' as opposed to just genetically modified humans in terms of memes and such. And lets you have things like Androids which just don't fit the Biotech systems at all. Realistically though most people used alien race mods for their cat/fox/rat/snake girls who are perfectly able to be represented in the Biotech system so most of the HAR ecosystem has collapsed. And a lot of the better old ones haven't updated because trying to integrate aliens with genes is rough. I do kind of miss my Hivers, Skaven and Android colonists I used to rock

I gave up on HAR as well after Biotech dropped, it's always been messy for compatibility and never completely bug-free. There's still a bunch of race mods that haven't been converted to using the Biotech gene system but there's a good number of new mods to make up for it and being able to mix and match the new genes is great. Having some races be genetically herbivorous has been tricky on new colonies though, can't just rely on the old staple of shooting something for meat when times are tough.

Look, if they didn’t want to eat bits and pieces of their friends in their morning breakfast goo, then maybe they shouldn’t have raided the crazy robot people colony in the mountains.

Reloaded an autosave a few times trying to figure out why Centipedes were consistently busting out of the ancient danger my animal pen was built next to. Finally realized that the random wild ostrich in the pen was beginning to starve, so it was trying to break out and the steel walls of the ancient danger were softer than the granite I built the rest of the pen out of.

Hmm, I may nab that. Combat dryads in general just need a serious boost considering you don't have direct control over them or their targets and clawers just die instantly trying to get into range against even midgame threats. Barkskin manage their role slightly better but considering the opportunity cost of cutting trees, the fact it takes the better part of a quadrum to replenish lost dryads, and mechanoids just existing as an alternative...

I feel like the haulers are generally solid, and the resource dryads fine since their value scales according to how inhospitable your map is. The combat ones are problematic though, and the bonding system locks your pawn(s) onto the map in a game where too many mechanics already discourage you from going on caravans.

I know what you mean but if you can tune every single stat on the dryads, I bet you can make them worthwhile. Yes there's mods that do stuff to dryads, whatever, you can adjust them to be exactly how you want. e: like, the lovely thing about the clawers is they have zero armor and low health and move too slowly, and you can fix all of that. just for example.
