Yes it’s fully possible to run all-up settlements on multiple tiles, I think there is a setting for how many full maps to allow in the game options. You need a machine with a lot of computational grind available but if you’re running 30+ pawns without terrific slowdowns then you might not run into too many problems.

There's a mod, Set Up Camp Here, which lets you make truly temporary camps that have the same extra raid timer as other temporary maps. But otherwise, a settlement is a settlement, you can keep both or just the second one or whatever you want

There's a mod called Vanilla Outposts that lets you send out people to make various semi-passive resource production camps who send stuff back home. Also tell me more about this Great Tree thing you've got going.

It sounds like a lot of caveats but I still recommend the mod as its one of the few ways to infinitely scale an endgame base without making your CPU melt.

You can plant a Great Tree and any corpses that get planted at its base turn into "Humanoid Cocoons." After a few weeks you can harvest them for 1-2 new baby treelings! Treelings are loving stupid and apparently only ever get one choice at growth moments BUT... they grow super fast, they don't care about comfort, and they are perfectly happy to (for example) get a circadian half-cycler and move back and forth from the rec room to their 3 guaranlen trees for-loving-ever. They also age really fast, so they'll be children in months and adults in like a year. I currently have a treeling named Treepo who got slow learner and lazy as his traits. He started doing 100% guaranlen pruning at 0.08 plants and two years later he finally broke 3.0. What a dumbass treeling. Meanwhile his brothers Bushpo and Twigpo are at plants 20 and can prune a loving tree so fast that even with 3 trees each they're our top farmers. Get it together, Treepo, or you join the Bouldermits! (btw I had a female bouldermit spawn on a raid I went on and I got her and now I have a pregnant bouldermit and I don't know if it's going to give birth to a little bouldermit or a pebblemit but here's hoping for a big boy)

Common Sense https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1561769193 has a lot of features you may or may not want, but it adds an option to make pawns clean the room before working at a workbench or doing surgery? Some of the features are dumb/useless but basically everything has an option to disable it. Main difference being this isn't an order you give but a passive thing that automatically runs in the background and queues cleaning tasks at a slight delay to crafting/etc getting done, so rooms on average don't accumulate as much filth if there's a workstation. Also there's CleaningArea and CleaningPriority which let you define custom zones where you want stuff kept clean, so your pawns on cleaning duty don't waste time sweeping random bits of sand in your corpse pit or whatev that you don't really want/need cleaned. silentsnack fucked around with this message at 18:11 on Sep 27, 2023 |

Most of my pawns were out doing a raid on a local settlement, leaving my researcher, Darklight, his various pets (for defence), and about five children looking after the camp. Darklight decided to throw a 'binge party' while all the other colonists were away. Except he never actually attended and just carried on researching while all the children got drunk or stoned in the dining room. Guy obviously really didn't want to babysit those kids.

I've never considered the UI to be a biased narrator, but you might be onto something. I might move the alcohol from the dining room to somewhere less acessible though, two kids ended up black-out drunk, which was cool because it's not something I've seen before, but also a little concerning for a couple of 11~ year olds. Recently encountered a weird bug with a burial ritual where it would cancel itself repeatedly. If I removed the kids from the ritual though it seemed to work. I think the kids in this colony are just so rowdy that they can't stay solemn for a couple of hours and need to get back to graffiting or throwing parties or whatever.

Has anyone tried the VE Deserters mod? I've wanted to do a proper "gently caress the Empire" run for years and this seems like just the thing to add actual content for that. The design seems cool in principle but I'm a bit wary because, well, it's VE.

The best part about Rimworld modding from a player's perspective is just how resilient the game is against outright crashes. The equivalent of red errors in other games crash them, but Rimworld's willing to keep going if the player is. It's a great design choice and I wish more games were willing to work like that.

Asimo posted:It's... interesting? It kind of forces an "always be raiding/sabotaging" since most of the rewards are from collecting large amounts of "intel" but that has a relatively short shelf-life so you have to do multiple raids/quests to have enough to do something useful with. At the same time there's a visibility mechanic where the more things you do against the Empire the more they notice/care about you existing and escalate accordingly, including bullshit like no-warning sniper assassination attempts or literal orbital strikes (as in "level the map and turn it into ash and glass, you better run ASAP when you get the warning so don't get too attached to your base if you're being active") It's kind of frustrating in the VE:Mechanoids way where the core gimmick mechanic behind it is actually interesting in concept but probably poorly balanced if you don't like that kind of intensive micromanagement and managing large colonies with multiple caravans and whatnot, but it's also very high concept and transforms the game flow a great deal. Definitely worth a try though just for the novelty and a lot of it can be tweaked in the settings anyway. This sounds like it's intended for a seasonal / flood-and-drought approach where you intensely fight the empire and gather lots of intel, spend it on a reward, then lay low for a few quadruns while the heat decays.

The problem is that the intel decays with time - I think the fix for that is the burnout scrapers, but if you accidentally use up one without the intel to get another declassifier (or whatever the doodad is you need), I think your only intel source is capturing/recruiting pawns with royal titles and having that convert to intel? (Fun fact - you can use the burnout scraper 9 times and then deconstruct it to get the whatever-it-is back.)

I don't remember a way to grow a colonist from vat alone - I think a colonist has to give birth to them, *then* you can put them in a growth vat. In the vat they get skill training, which is better than a neglected child, but not by much. The real power comes from a well-raised colonist, since you also get some control over what traits they have. Biotech also let's you pick what genes your colonists have, but implanted genes aren't heritable without mods. Minmaxing with skill bonus genes for the role your colonists has and penalties for the skills they won't use is very powerful, but actually collecting those Genes is a challenge in itself.

You can harvest eggs from female colonists, slaves, or prisoners then have male colonists or slaves fertilize them. These fertilized embryos can be grown in vats, where they are born (and then usually put back until kid is 3). Vat birth is higher risk than normal birth under good conditions. The big defect for vat growth is crappy traits: you can solve a lot of skill gaps with genes if you harvest enough.

Yeah the optimal approach is natural birth -> vat growth until 3 years old because vat growing through the baby stage has no downsides and a ton of upsides -> raise the child with 90%+ recreation time in their schedule so they max out their learning at all times. It takes a long time, but you end up with basically home grown super pawns because you can choose their passions and traits(albeit from a limited list, but still incredibly powerful). Raising kids from birth to adulthood in a vat will give you crap rear end pawns, which is good if you just want cannon fodder or haulers because it's fast, but vat grown pawns with no actual childhood will pretty much always be rear end.

The mechanitor stuff is also very powerful, for almost no investment you can basically take care of all of your hauling, cleaning, and planting tasks. The construction bot is good too for taking care of building walls and poo poo but you probably want a master-skilled pawn building things like beds

You can disable events during normal new game set up, or via something like Scenario Amender during the game. Cherrypicker would let you disable the specific sniper rifle they use if that's your preference.
