Shouldn't nurses also be able to do research that seems at least a little related

I was gonna make a joke about just pausing your needs, but a lot of the nurses I work with still get stuck working eight hours of overtime per night without any notice even this long after covid, and I made myself sad

If I'm not min-maxing an ideology I'll never complain about being able to make someone Drillarms McHyperminer or have a farmer that can zoom through replanting a giant field of psychoid, since those are both high uptime professions that can be scaled indefinitely(more farmland/more drills). Animal specialists are great in animal heavy colonies but suffer from being attached to some garbage-rear end memes that I hate.

Better Nurses is what you're looking for if you want to use that meme. It essentially adds the Medical Specialist role on to Nurse. They still can't do most work, including violence, but they get strong bonuses to tend quality, operation speed, and surgery chance, give a positive moodlet to the patient after tending, and have a couple of good activated abilities. It puts them about in line with other specialist roles, possibly a bit underpowered since you probably don't need the things they do most of the time. Then again, if you're doing the kind of run where your people get torn up all the time, or you're doing things like joining the battles of allied factions and saving all their poor downed pawns, having a Medical Specialist who can hit a button and stop losing Rest, Recreation, and Hunger for 12 hours is pretty rad.

Yeah there are so many better things they could have done with the Nurse role, lol Also I don't know what the hell kind of orbital mechanics we have in this system but these eclipses are by far the greatest threat to my wellbeing and prosperity, I gotta transition away from solar I guess but

His main roll after making the framework for modders is to polish the mods and release them as 30 dollar DLCs

The vanilla turret nerfs honestly annoyed the hell out of me, because turrets are expensive to build and maintain and add a nontrivial amount of wealth but mini turrets are now functionally useless for any purpose, autocannons are middling, and uranium slugs are okay but insanely expensive to build and run. It didn't really get rid of turtling strategies, it just pushed you into doing gamey poo poo like burn corridors and roof traps instead.

There's a sequel to that which received an update a couple of months ago I don't think it was, IIRC the mod I'm thinking of didn't actually have them as objects or anything in game, it just named a few moons and preassigned dates for eclipses to occur. But I didn't realize there was a new Rimnauts, big "Oh poo poo" energy, thank you for telling me! What's one more mod...

It didn't really get rid of turtling strategies, it just pushed you into doing gamey poo poo like burn corridors and roof traps instead. It was a really bad nerf because the game lends itself to a turtle style due to combat being garbage. As long as a 0 combat pawn can beat a 10 combat pawn when both have equal weapons and armor then people will turtle, especially if they don't have enough pawns in their colony yet. There's a lot of questionable balancing in the game. I dislike malaria/plague/flu because penoxicillan isn't the easiest thing to get right off the bat in a starting colony. It makes the debuff trivial with a large colony and devastating with a smaller one. There's also no trigger for either other than not taking your penoxicillan. There's so many mods to fix headaches like Common Sense and better hauling that it's insane Tynan hasn't taken an afternoon and fixed stuff yet.

As long as raids keep being like this Turtling is pretty much a requirement. I'd love to actually do positioning and stuff out in the field, but when the enemy outnumbers you 10 to 1...

Ugh I'm getting the "ten jobs in ten ticks" bug, which I can normally fix by just changing work priorities or force-hauling something around or whatever, but this one has some of my idiot fucker morons all doing it because they're desperately trying to pack their inventories completely full of tea and iced coffee. I have no idea why, because nobody else is doing this, but there's nothing that I can see connecting the people who are or contrasting them with the people who aren't. Nothing to with chemical interest, where I got the pawn, their assigned jobs, or where the stuff is being stored; I tried shifting it over to another storeroom and they just went over there and did the same thing. I have solved it by simply excluding the offending pawns from the main storeroom entirely and keeping that stuff only in there, which is kind of inefficient but working okay atm. I've run into the big before as implied, but I've never had it for them trying to just put stuff in their own inventory rather than taking something somewhere, and it's a huge pain in the rear end lol e; Wait I found the common thread! It was totally unexpected, hence my complete confusion: They're all animal handlers. They're trying to load up on that poo poo so they can go do their taming/training jobs.
