A small observation, "suppressing" entities keeps them controlled, but it is part of the wardening job and the same method apparently applies to slaves, monsters, and inanimate objects. So I'm assuming that my guy is just going outside the colony and screaming profanities at the giant ominous rock to stop it from activating, and this is apparently very effective.

I tried out the flesh-pit that you can enter. I was having a pretty easy time clearing the flesh monsters so I decided to take on the heart. Big mistake. I took it down but nobody survived. I think I'll start holding off on attuning the obelisk until I have better research and equipment, things escalate quickly.

I have been playing mostly blind and I think Anomaly has been the most fun I've had in Rimworld (and that's high praise considering I'm only a dozen hours away from hitting a thousand). The "unending darkness" event had me on the edge of my seat, trying to get to the noctoliths before anyone else raided me, very slowly building flood lights and torches to get to them, running home when the noctoids appeared. Or the blood rain which forced me to lock everyone inside to avoid berserkers, just in time to get hit with a raid and the nociosphere running out of time. I sent it to the raid and it killed everyone with just enough time left to teleport back home and start killing my pawns before it vanished. And then I got a second raid, where I thought "hey, maybe it's a good time to use the summon the fleshbeasts ritual" and it ended up almost being a base killer when every animal in the map turned manhunter plus the raid plus the monsters. And there are a lot of entities I haven't even discovered yet  I doubt it'll be as fun the second time around but even if I never play it again, the extension has already more than justified its price

I've been slow-rolling the anomaly stuff. I did the Researcher starting scenario so I happen to have a ghoul. I send him out to slay animals and then a robot hauls the corpse back. Mostly he's been an incredibly good damage tank. I know a lot of people were doubting that ghouls would be any good but seriously... they're really drat good and I haven't researched any of the upgrades that were teased before the dlc released. I got a dark wanderer joining the team who has a special bonus to anomaly research, that's very handy for this colony. He hasn't betrayed me yet so I'm hoping he just sticks around, his Intelligence is also crazy good. Got the obelisk that teleports you to a labyrinth, which is not only a pretty cool event but items looted on the scene also gave me a sneak peak of a bunch of stuff that I'll be able to craft later. I got a stack of 10 serums that prevent mental breaks for 2 days while also preventing inspirations, which seems extremely strong. The loot overall was very good, like I brought home a bunch of great anomaly stuff but also several pristine hearts, lungs, and kidneys! Thanks, obelisk! Protip: if an event happens to spawn a bunch of corpses, check the corpses for loot. It seems like the raid generator is being used to create the pawns and then it just turns them into skeletons, but that means the bodies may contain drugs, medicine, meals, and sometimes weapons too. This loot doesn't drop to the ground unless you have a pawn strip the bodies. It's hilarious that a bunch of skeletons can have fresh simple meals on them that rot 2 days later

Also funnily, the clones inherit the social history of their originals but not the actual relationships so they will probably be very good friends with spouses etc because of all the shagging and talking, but not actually married to them. This also means that one potential application for them is if you have someone who everyone in the colony hates, you can clone them and then kill them and everyone will get the "my rival died" mood buff, lmao OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 12:47 on Apr 14, 2024 |

You're all having fun with the new content. Meanwhile, my colony of 5 tribals was just getting towards electricity when: 1. a raid got lucky hits on two ranged pawns and a grenade on the best melee pawn 2. the raid abducted two, but one of the abducters succumbed to his wounds on the way out, so I could rescue one pawn 3. with two dead and one abducted, the remaining unharmed pawn cared for the wounded pawn 4. influenza struck, killing one 5. with one pawn left, I took the risk to accept five people seeking shelter. My remaining pawn was drifting in and out of consciousness 6. betrayal, obviously. Knowcked down the remaining pawn, who crawled towards the exit of the base 7. The betrayers set fire to everything. Inside my mountain base. Deep inside my mountain base 8. They set fire to the chemfuel store deep inside as well 9. >700°C. Only my pawn made it out, everyone else inside perished 10. A lone gunman arrived, nursing my pawn back to health Some shamblers are having a party at the map edge. I am somewhat preoccupied right now, however. e: Imagine standing next to a shelf of petrol in an enclosed room and deciding to set fire to it.

It includes such incredible features as "Pawns are encouraged to eat meals that are closer to spoiling" and "Pawns are encouraged to use ingredients and materials that are closer to spoiling". Other crazy features are "Pawns are encouraged to fulfil their need of outdoors by seeking recreation outdoors".

Common Sense is a very old mod and I'm not even sure how much of it is working as intended - I've never figured out what their threshold is for 'closer to spoiling' and it's definitely not just always use the oldest. The parts that do work are great though, vanilla cleaning behavior really sucks until your base gets big enough for a dedicated janitor.

When you're getting weird food behavior that includes feeding raw stuff, it's good to double check that there are no dietary restrictions going on (food assignments, ideology beliefs or gene stuff if modded). You might have meat in your meals and a pawn that gets massive mood penalties for eating it, for example.

Eating survival meals is unfortunately just vanilla behavior, pawns are lazy and will grab whatever is closest to them. This is easy to fix: edit their food assignments and turn off packaged survival meals, if everyone is using the default assignment (Lavish) then you're just editing that one. Or you can Forbid those stacks, that'll work too As for the second one, does the bedridden colonist happen to be a pig-person or some other xenotype with Robust Digestion? Because that would explain the behavior. If not, then I'd suggest disabling Common Sense
