The biggest buff to defense is pawn multithreading letting you deploy the 10,000 angry chicken defensive setup.

I saw people testing this and it seems like this isn't quite true. They can only spawn from rivers or oceans, the water needs to be connected to the edge of the map. Also bridges will block them

I'm imagining a new ice fishing meta of covering up all running water tiles with bridges except for one open spot surrounded by defenses to immediately bonk any mechanoid that surfaces

Is there a mod that lets you better control crafting outcomes (poor, awful, etc.) in an interesting way? I know there's one that lets you hard set the probabilities based on skills, like setting 18+ to always being at least masterwork, but is there anything that makes it a little more, I don't know, interesting? Like being able to upgrade item qualities or something.

Like being able to upgrade item qualities or something. I use Improve This and Easy Upgrades. Easy Upgrades overlaps with building upgrades from Improve This but it also allows item upgrades (like choosing a weapon and upgrading it using it's base materials, with success and failure chances). Both are highly customizable. Leal posted:So uh, how would I completely and utterly lock down both my game version and my mod list? Copy your entire mod list from [\steam\steamapps\workshop\content\294100] to your local mod directory [\steam\steamapps\common\RimWorld\Mods] and then set your game version in the Betas tab in steam to the current one once it's released as an option, which I think happens a little before the new update (not currently available after checking just now). I use RimPy, you want your list to have the Local icon next to everything:

Skill affects the relative likelihood of getting a better item but it's still subject to RNG, you still have a nonzero chance for the roll to produce worthless garbage even at 20skill. There are e.g. mods that change it so at skill level X/Y/Z you no longer produce Awful/Poor/etc products

Oh sorry to clarify I mean the qualities of the item itself. A legendary rifle is better all around statwise iirc than a normal one.

Like being able to upgrade item qualities or something. I'm a big fan of qualitybuilder. Adds an icon to your toolbar in build mode that allows you to specify the desired quality level of the final product, but, in a totally not cheaty way. Your pawns will deconstruct and reconstruct repeatedly until the level is hit- wasted resources and all. And, there's a mod option to set a default "always aim for this level" choice which is great end-game when you have abundant legendary construction skills.

Just remember that only your best builder will build anything you designate a quality for, and your best builder isn't always the highest skill one (bionics, hot-dog fingers, etc.) Sometimes you can't figure out why nobody will build these stupid shelves and it's because the only person allowed to went into the biosculptor to cure their hellacious shits because nobody can cook a loving mushroom in this colony

Gonna put a hell mouth in my throne room and invite the stellarch over. Make my prisoners do no-legged races by crawling to hospital beds. Write pro-cube propaganda and drop it on the tribals. Start an island colony with 100% mech raids. Mod the love enhancer so pawns get a tentacle graphic.

Beeline deep drills and scanners. Try to buy or mine components instead of making them. Don't use mortar shells or steel traps for defense. Avoid steel doors and furniture unless you're also pressed for wood like on a flat desert. I tear up every old structure and floor as soon as I have spare time in order to recover materials and deny cover to enemies. Steel walls burn down in wildfires, so snag them up before fate does.

It was never all that great (even if you staple Viking to it) and everything it's trying to do is done significantly better by Medieval Overhaul and its spinoffs anyway.

I’ve used it a lot and quite like it, but I’m also a modding fiend who will go to great lengths to set up the scenarios I have in mind. Losing VE Medieval actually hurts in that respect, because it was fully compatible with Medieval Overhaul and its factions added some interesting contrast to the MO ones.
