I've had plenty of colonies where I have enough organs in storage to Ship of Theseus all my colonists five times over. But I also run "harvest organs post mortem." But also lol at throwing away good money like that.

Drugs are extremely powerful in the short term, especially in the period before you get nice bonuses set up like dope bedrooms and red centers and heated baths

I had a run where I used Questionable Ethics Enhanced to develop organs out of copious amounts of corn. It took a ton of labour to make the organic slurry and then like a quadrum for them to finish growing, but we sold only the finest vegan organs on the market. It's a touch ironic that the mod called "Questionable Ethics" was what let me run a cruelty free organ farm

I'm pretty sure smokeleaf still causes cancer and yayo will definitely gently caress up your kidneys and brain after enough use, and it becomes very easy to wind up in that state once a pawn gets addicted. I don't know about beer, it's easy enough to avoid that addiction Addicted pawns do become ill, sometimes super ill, if their addiction meter gets low.

I remember pawns would have their lungs and livers loving explode after a few days of social drugs, so I'm glad that got rebalanced.

Ugh, not sure what happened but now my level 16 crafter is exclusively churning out poor quality items on the hand tailor bench and I have no idea why. When he's using a crafting spot he was able to make stuff of the appropriate quality but since I built the tailor its been all in on 22 poor toques in a row. anyone have any ideas on what might be causing this? I think it might be a mod conflict but I haven't really added or changed anything recently and it seems to be exclusively affecting the tailoring bench.

Are you running any mods that mess with crafting at all? e: This youtuber used statistical analysis to observe that crafting quality only depends on skill https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMOACTJtyrc

Tailor bench is also inside in a room thats at 70 degrees and in a lit area. EDIT: I'm dumb and figured it out. Its Research Reinvented, I technically don't have Complex Clothing yet so they're 'prototypes' which is locking them at poor quality need to finish the research

drugs still do everything they did when deja was posting. the illnesses they inflict got nerfed quite a bit, though - it used to be that any visible tolerance (which started at 20%), would put you at risk for all of the drug's deleterious effects. nowadays that is more scaled, though the specifics depend on the drug. for smokeleaf, you can't get a carcinoma at all until 40% tolerance, and when you hit that, it starts out at 180 days MTTH. it maxes out at 135 days MTTH at 100% tolerance. asthma has similar MTTHs on it, but you need 50% tolerance to be at risk. to compare, in 2017, any visible tolerance was 180 days MTTH for both. flat. so really, deja's old approach has gotten worse, not better, simply because extremely high tolerances like he cultivated routinely are punished further now. part of the context that's also worth pointing out between then and now is just the average length of a game. i completed multiple games in about 5 years playing back in those early alphas - and the storytellers were very much getting big-feelings mad with you at around that time. nowadays, 5 years is mid-game.

That's like the most nihlistic run of rimworld ive seen. At least runs where you set out to be a horrible colony have intent behind them. That's like, callous indifference taken to its ultimate expression.

We've had the "war crimes" question a few times now. So how about the opposite. What are some of the nice things you do? Stuff like planting fruit trees along the paths in your base, so your pawns can have fresh fruit as part of their meals, as well as the sweet smell of fruit blossoms outdoors. Tell me about small things you do that make their lives better in little ways.

Everybody gets a 5x5 bedroom at minimum, upgrading to 7x7 with a 3x3 personal bathroom once we have the time and resources. Also every long term crafting station gets a comfy chair to sit on, you might be stuck inside making components day in and day out but at least you're not standing for it

I've been including parks in all my builds lately, with picnic tables and bbqs and what not. It as a knock on affect of making me gentrify the neighboring areas so they look nice too, which generally leads to a midgame base spruce up. Those nice hedges from LTS Buildings, stone paths, tree planters and growing moss on walls. I even put down a marriage spot on a particularly lovely bit.

like that seems like a flippant response but i genuinely mark my game calendar based on pre-corn rain and post-corn rain. there's a night and day difference between having 5 enemies and 2 neutrals vs 2 enemies and 5 full on allies. life is much more peaceful. the conflict that does come our way is more manageable. trade thrives, and we can get anything we want for crap that just grows up out of the ground. we can stop working so hard and rushing to every goddamn thing. there's time to take a three-hour lunch, talk, flirt, shoot a game of pool, and watch TV. we don't have to worry about sourcing something that takes a lot of time. we can just trade for it. just grow more or cotton and let the soil do the work. we can go churn out a dozen bad sculptures just to get one we're proud of, for no more reason than we have a flame in art, and it seems like a waste to not be at least skill 10. there's TIME after corn rain. and we don't have to hurt anyone to get it. quite the opposite, in fact.

I have plenty of humans who hate me but I only get mech raids now. The only chance I have of getting human bodies for anything is raiding those various sites that have 30+ people in them cause thats what a site is and not what one would just call a settlement.
