I have 2 entrances to my base, since the river runs through it, so I have 2 armor racks near those, so I have everyone in civilian clothing most of the time, but when I get raided, I have everyone go put on a flak vest and helmet at least and go form up, and then when the raid is over, I just click the "clear forced" button so they go back to their civilian clothes. I keep a few people in armor full time though. Usually the people wearing power armor that doesn't inhibit their movement much. They also don't do a lot of non-fighting things so the armor isn't messing with like, medicine or cooking or tailoring or sowing/harvesting.

Watching a bunch of dirt farming overall dudes tromp into the ready room and swap into their murder clothes while a bunch of dumbshits stand around outside "preparing" is one of the great joys in Rimworld. Farmers walk in, space marines walk out, there's a lot of noise, space marines walk in, farmers walk out. "Welp, looks like those assholes are back again. Time to leave the tater patch for a bit everyone, meet in the ready room."

Any recommendations? Rimworld is many things to many people, so there’s a lot of possibilities for LPers. What would you like in your LPs? More themed and story focused, or ruthlessly mechanical challenges? Heavily modded or vanilla? Tight editing or long sessions presented mostly as-is, but with good commentary?

Rhadamant is pretty cool if you want someone who is chill and very thoroughly explaining what he's doing and why, often with few mods except for something to overhaul the theme of that game.

The way I see it, there are worker ants and there are soldier ants and asking a soldier ant to work comes at a penalty. I rarely let my soldiers take their armor off.

Oh, I should add, when it comes to abstraction- if it makes you feel better it's explicit in the graphics that they take their armor off to sleep. You can see their faces and stuff even if they're wearing marine armor. They're just able to instantly put it back on when they wake up 'cause abstractions.

If I want people to fight they live in their armor. I could say it's because of a desire to always be prepared against drop podsor infestations, but it's actually because I have never found a mod that makes it any simpler or more convenient than switching between outfits in vanilla and it's just an annoyance that either eats my time or doesn't seem to work as I want it to. Last game I used Gear Up And Go but never saw any way to actually assign them outfits to change into

Recently I started watching an LP buy a guy called RatKnight and was enjoying it.. Turns out, he's build himself an entire Rimworld Universe with multiple LPs, all with recurring characters in it, so I've just started with his first series in this universe of his and I've been enjoying that so far. The first series is "Logging Empire" and after that "Alcohol Empire" which I just finished and I'm now on the 3rd series. His episodes are quite short and sweet too and very narrative driven, you should check them out. The very first few are only like 15m long.

Legendary thrumbofur dusters, hyper weave broad wraps, and ok sure, legendary flak vests. I still like the hilarity of combat in a legendary thrumbofur formal vest or corset.

If you can stomach him, Mr. Samuel Streamer's LPs are pretty fun since they usually have 500+ mods and are very themed around storylines and characters he makes up.

In that case, in addition to RatKnight sounding like it's on the money, I'd check out Pete Complete's and Prester John's Rimworld stuff. There's a powerful backlog for both, too. That said, Adam's current Sanguophage run is worth a look. The narrative is quite a thing, Cassandra had strong opinions on how his Grimdark Vampire Overlord run ought to go.

Maybe the mods have gotten better in the years since? It was pre-Royalty when I tried. Looking over the steam workshop, it looks like the same person who goes around updating the dead mods picked up the mod that I tried, as well as a couple more that add genetics, races, some clothes and weapons, stuff like that. But there seems to be way more Star Wars related stuff.

Anyone interested in simplifying loadouts should look at KV Change Dresser. To be fair it's a bit cheaty, a single dresser that can hold all your clothing & armor. It gives you the expected ability of saving custom outfits that then can be applied globally or individually (through a neat little matrix), but also it allows you to specify a battle outfit that will automatically be equipped when a pawn is drafted. No fuss no muss. Also lets you research and build mending attachments at the cost of great amounts of power. One of my favorite mods and there are several more in the KV lineup.

Finally got around to trying out DeepRim (Continued), the mod that lets you drill down to new underground maps and have them connect via a semi-automated mineshaft that can conduct power and move resources up and down. It loving rules. By default I think you'd just get maps that are like solid stone and metal, but it has built-in support for Biomes! Caverns and CaveBiome, which generate actual terrain and creatures to inhabit it. The former adds a ton of mushroom-related stuff, more than I particularly care for, but CherryPicker solves that. Is it balanced? Oh hell no, but an endless supply of metal and stone is already something you can get with deep drills, and this at least has way more story-generating potential than a drill.

I wanna try this out with a dwarf colony. There are both mods to add dwarf genes and a dwarf style for ideology. Really I didn't realize just how good the possibilities are for genetics and the style system. Genetics lets you make all kinds of races, mythical or sci fi, without downloading a specific mod for that race that often comes with the modder's baggage. Style lets you change how things look and keep it all to vanilla balance.

Xenotype Spawn Control does this just fine https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2891975564  whether it's vanilla, player-designed or mod added it should show up like this. e: because biotech adds a bunch of new factions that don't actually replace the base factions, just disables them during map gen, there's plenty of room to just stuff in whatever xenotype in one of the base factions and enable them (e.g. with the base cannibal tribal faction here) Leal posted:I wanna try this out with a dwarf colony. There are both mods to add dwarf genes and a dwarf style for ideology. a point in favor for VE: Ideology Memes & Structures / Alpha Memes (they add a ton of styles even if you don't care about the additional memes and whatever else) Flesh Forge fucked around with this message at 03:19 on Mar 6, 2024 |

They're the only base inheritable Xenotype that not only doesn't get a faction with them as a majority, they're pretty rare in the factions they are in.
