There used to be a mod that put survival meals below paste in priority, but I can't find it anymore

isndl posted: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. I had all default settings for everything and the freshly cooked meals were made out of the same potatoes that were being fed raw. I also had the most basic possible ideology. Although now that I'm thinking about it, the bedridden person in question was some bleeding rando who probably had a completely different ideology. QuarkJets posted: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 Nah. Because they instantly got food poisoning from the potatoes.

Jack Trades posted:Without spoilers, roughly how early is it okay to activate the monolith if I don't want to risk getting completely hosed over? The progression is gated, just like mechanitor stuff was. Just activating the monolith, I've had: - Two Death Pall weather events (which turn corpses into shambling zombies for a few days; not an issue on a brand new colony!) - Maybe 5ish events where 1 easy to defeat monster came onto the map - One unconscious ghoul landed on my map via drop pod; since it was incapacitated it was very easy to capture - One obelisk event that was honestly really easy to deal with and gave me a ton of nice loot - One pretty good ominous-sounding pawn joined my colony (I mentioned them earlier itt), it's been awhile with no betrayal so this just seemed to be all upside

Is there a good basic storyteller mod that doesn't try to wipe you outright? I don't know if it changed since I looked into it, but I remember reading about the specifics of how the storytellers worked and landed on the opinion that Cassanda and Phoebe were actively going out of of their way to kill you, by sending progressively stronger raids until you crack, while Randy just did random events, which is why I always played with him and no one else.

There were only 3 guys so I took them out before they could finish the ritual

Danaru posted:Couldn't have been that smart then  Also I'm pretty sure they were going to be a traitor anyway, because when they died I got the inhuman howl event that summons a sightstealer. That doesn't happen with the non-traitor ones in my experience.

Jack Trades posted:Without spoilers, roughly how early is it okay to activate the monolith if I don't want to risk getting completely hosed over? I would suggest focusing on getting your base somewhat stable first, some of the events will happen whatever you do, but poking the rock encourages it to poke back, so you probably want to have enough of a base set up that you can defend yourself and devote some spare time to research and so you aren't starving to death while you're trying to deal with weird stuff. Bear in mind you won't be able to develop a good understanding of some of the things you will encounter unless you poke the monolith so the game kind of nudges you that way itself.

Honestly, if you start with the Anomaly researchers start, the ghoul and one of the scientists with the shotgun can take on basically anything the first monolith tier throws at you Edit: Got a mysterious distress signal that offered basically no explanation, this is what I found at the target:

As a general reminder, you can use herbal meds or better to anesthetise people and render them temporarily and harmlessly unconscious, as well as inducing a mild narcotic mood boost. This is quite useful for managing a lot of the effects you might encounter.

I found a weird lump of gray flesh... That could be analyzed by a researcher so I did that and it said, this is evidence of an IMPOSTER, sloughed off their body (boy I don't like the word sloughed). Well, obviously this is Stewart 2, but it says there's not enough proof yet, we need more samples. Cut to a month or three later and on the third sample, I believe, it says OK, now we can do a surgical procedure on people to find out of they are the imposter creature.  Stewart, time to prep your rear end for surgery. . . . I station a couple of dudes with assault rifles in the hospital. To absolutely nobody's surprise, a horrible creature emerges from Stewart. ...and three other colonists also burst forth monsters, along with a helpful message that: - The original source was NOT Stewart 2, but a rando who joined the colony almost from the start, my best Construction lady and... uh oh... Cook. - She infected, via food, all the others, including poor innocent Stewart 2 (so wrongly accused). Anyway, everything's fine now here, how are you? (I hope all my stored food is ok... gulp...)

The cube question: Any idea how to solve this one? Studying doesn't seem to be progressing the anomaly. Had it for maybe close to a year at this point and it is really derailing my colony in a pretty annoying way.

I really like a lot of what's going on with Anomaly but I'm not super thrilled that most of it is gated behind Electricity being unlocked.

Has anyone else noticed bills just vanishing off of tailor bench/smithy etc sometimes? I don't have any mods active that mess with them, but every so often I'll think "why am I out of tuques again" and then I'll check both my tailor benches and the bill is missing again. With the smithy, it's the bill for maces that won't stick. I'm just glad this isn't happening to my kitchen stoves because it's already super annoying managing bills on there without the save/copy mods I had

^^^ Haven't been having that issue The new mind-numb serum is insanely good, I've had a pawn that keeps being the target of Insult sprees and I just have him walk over to the warehouse and pop a serum and we're good to go. I'm running low because I got these from the obelisk labyrinth, hoping I can figure out how to make more soon

Since they're a prisoner, do you need to re-recruit them, or does releasing return them to normal? This tactic would've been handy to know when my Knight leader started releasing entities last night!

You can just release them, before you even take them to prison actually. They go back to normal immediately. The debuff really isn't that bad but obviously they will still be in danger of breaking again so giving them some drugs or something afterward is ideal.

Note that imprison-release works even when the pawn had a "gave up" mental break since they're still your faction until they leave the map. It doesn't work for run wild though; you can (and probably should) arrest them but they'll still need to be animal trained before they rejoin.

I have no idea what to do here. I have no steel to do anything and the flesh keeps growing. It feels like the world's slowest death spiral. Any ideas? I'm seriously considering grabbing everything I can and abandoning the tile but it sucks to lose the base.

DarkLich posted:How does 'unarresting' them work? Since they're a prisoner, do you need to re-recruit them, or does releasing return them to normal? No if you release them they will rejoin you, as I said though they don't get catharsis, so they can break again right after. Good use for the aforementioned anasthetic however, or you can keep them in the prison for a while until they cool off. Doltos posted:That takes too long and gives a huge debuff. Beating them with sticks, however It's instantaneous if it succeeds, which it should with a good social pawn. They just need to touch the mental breaker to stop them. lunar detritus posted:I have no idea what to do here. I have no steel to do anything and the flesh keeps growing. It feels like the world's slowest death spiral. Have you tried attacking it? It breaks in chunks if you damage a piece and the pawns will then find another piece to attack, so you don't have to take out each individual tile.

I mean if "overgrown with throbbing, devouring meat that hungers for the taste of human flesh" isn't a good reason to pack up and hit the trail I don't know what is. Can always come back later when you have powered armor and flamethrowers.
