Is tubal ligation reversible? I forgot I did it before I did the archonexus stuff and she has good genes.

no. you can't even use a healer mech serum on tubal ligation. you might be able to harvest an egg from her for IVF, though. not sure.

I’m away from my computer but I’m pretty sure it’s like menopause where you can’t harvest eggs.

If youre cool with mods and weren't traumatized by Soma, Questionable Ethics Expanded lets you create clones and brain scans

Biotech Cloning is what you'll want if you're running Biotech. Questionable Ethics Expanded has problems with Biotech last I ran it. Couldn't schedule any surgeries or create new bills level of problems. If you're not running the DLC though, go for it.

Are there any mods that let you add different info directly to the colonist bar icons at the top? (Specifically, psyfocus %). Would be nice to have that up as a constant reminder instead of having to dig through Numbers to get it.

Sleepy Joe made a friend! Another merchant brought an old one around, but I didn't buy it and it collapsed before it could leave the map. Then it took so long to starve that it went wild first so I rescued it and set it and Joe up in the secular party hall with nice beds. I dunno what to name it though.

DoubleNegative posted:They're more common if you run with the Ratkin mod, as for some reason, the game loves to make the NPC Ratkin factions slave traders. And yeah there's a lot of events like slave trader caravans and pawns wandering in and asking to join that only fire if you're below a certain number of pawns so you can (re)build your base easier. Once you have X number of pawns they just shut off entirely unless you get enough murdered to drop below the threshold again. And the cutoff is fairly low too though I don't remember it specifically... five colonists? Seven? No more than that anyway.  death cob for cutie posted:e: also, from the new Vanilla Deserters content, IDK if it's a bug or something about my mods, but the fletcher rifle is busted as hell - it will absolutely kill mechanoids dead with its acid debuff. Despite the name, vanilla expanded stuff varies... widely in difficulty and balance. As a preemptive warning, having a mountain base will not save you from the 100 threat "we're literally nuking you from orbit" laser bombardment. If you mess up that much it's basically time to move to a new map since anything on your current run is getting obliterated.

DoubleNegative posted: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. From this central location and hedonistic lifestyle they then send these good vibes throughout the colony with psychic harmonizers, keeping the rest of the colony happy to toil away on their behalf.

Distance doesn’t matter, but if you destroy every faction base you won’t get any raids from them anymore (almost certainly meaningless by the time you’re strong enough to supercaravan around the world like that)

Note that storytellers roll “raid” first and then pick a faction, so if you eliminate a faction you get the same number of raids but will get none from the folks you wiped out.

As an addendum raids will still wander in just fine even if you have a map on some tiny desert Island tile. Caravans can't reach you though.  I wish location had more of an effect in both directions but it is what it is. Definitely treat isolated islands as hard mode though since you can't caravan out to buy/sell things and you can't do quests because they need a minimum distance from your base and thus spawn across the ocean on the mainland. Having SRTS or vehicle framework or the like to give you reusable air transportation can help but those tend to be mid or late game acquisitions.

I believe it for Cassandra, but I’ve heard with Randy it actually decreases your raids without just substituting origins. I haven’t seen anyone test it though, and I’m not sure how you would without taking a lot of time.

Ageless gene mods keep them forever youthful. When not having frequent sex, they spend their day hours sitting upon their legendary thrones or staring at masterwork art keeping them at permanent max happiness. Do harmonizers work in reverse? If poo poo gets genuinely bad will they feel it and get negative vibes?

I haven’t seen anyone test it though, and I’m not sure how you would without taking a lot of time. you can analyze his decision-making code. rimworld is all .net/C# so it can and has been disassembled for ages. it's how modding first started. last i inquired about the subject (like 3 years ago), the way you describe is correct. basically cassie and pheobe filter their "bad" options by wealth first, and "raid" is considered one heading under those options. this is why, eventually, cassie and pheobe will ONLY raid you, because your wealth is high enough it's their only option after filtering. randy, instead, lists what he CAN do, chooses from that, and then only takes wealth into consideration if it's salient to what was chosen. raids from individual powers are considered their own results. so impid colony, neanderthal colony, spacer colony, mechanoid cluster, mad animal, toxic fallout, volcanic winter, blah blah. if randy pulls a raid from this hat, he puts a much wilder wealth spread on it and forms the raid based on that. but since he's not interested in the wealth INITIALLY, it can have a lot of other results. this is how you can still see Mad Rat years later with Randy on. this may have been tweaked, or i may have been told wrong in the first place. i should probably crack open the code myself at some point, I can read C# just fine but I never really cared enough to set up the environment and disassemble the code.

The 'need blood', 'need food' and 'need deathrest' moods are pretty severe and vampires are immortal, wonder if you could vampirise a captured hostile tribal, remove their legs and leave them in a walled-off cell after plugging a mindscrew and harmonizer into their head. It's always difficult for mood debuffs to have a fast enough effect to break an enemy wave before they assault.

I distinctly remember some guy on reddit or something ages ago who constructed an elaborate defense based on making incoming raiders mentally break on the way in with all the various ways to tank pawn mood, and a central cell in the intake maze with a bunch of psychic harmonizer prisoners with the worst moods possible was part of it.

Really feels like you’d have to build at the Dejawasp scale of intentional cruelty to even be able to get results from this, let alone useful ones. Autobongs and modded versions which inflict other drug statuses would probably have a better and more immediate effect since being crossed on space weed and beers negatively affects a bunch of stats including manipulation, reducing accuracy.

yeah phoebe and cassandra are very much intended to FORCE you to leave the planet after a certain point, that was sort of the whole stated goal of the "AI Storyteller" from the beginning, to create a sense of escalating tension throughout your playthrough driving you toward the "goal"
