So I almost never use grenades against a pawn target, but they are fantastic for clearing obstacles. Detritus which came with your map? Your no-skills dedicated hauler or cleaner can spend a day hucking grenades to clear that poo poo out of the way of your farms. Ancient complexes prone to catching on fire? The Key To The Rim can handily make those indoors spaces the Outdoors, so heat buildup won’t burn and stroke out your combat team. The only and only time I fought the mechanoid Queen, though, we ezered her by waiting around a corner and throwing half a dozen grenades right before she came into view, and then a second wave. Ate some injuries from fighting the other, faster mechs in the open instead of at our fortifications but no deaths, no lost limbs.

I had a pawn with Go-juice Dependence in a coma for 2 weeks, and they were about to just die. I had to send a caravan fairly far away to buy Neutroamine so I could manufacture Go-juice so they wouldn't die.  I saved your life, motherfucker!

And this is why you leave a cryptosleep casket intact in the ancient danger for just such an occasion.

The fact that ideology still doesn't give imperial hussars an exception to the anti-drug precepts in the imperial ideology is ridiculous. Ideology is such an annoying mess. The Empire invented hussars and is the primary civ that makes and employs them!

They may have a genetic dependency on go-juice but that doesn't mean that they have to be happy about it e: "Medical" is a category for drugs for stuff like penoxycyline, go-juice is under the "Hard" category. So a Teetotaler with a Go-Juice genetic dependency is going to get sad whenever they have to meet their genetic need. All you can do is change their xenotype to remove the dependency QuarkJets fucked around with this message at 19:59 on Apr 21, 2024 |

I'm still doing it manually each time, which isn't *that* big of a deal but it's annoying how the perishables are scattered all over the categories. I haven't found a penalty to making all food storage zones freezers that don't allow rotten items unless you put fertilized eggs in(vanilla, cookable but kills any chance of them hatching) or you put in rare items that emit heat(modded, cinderwasp bodies/eggs from Alpha Biomes is the only one I've encountered.) This makes a storage area where you clear all, toggle rotten off, toggle the entire food category on, toggle fertilized eggs off and done. I believe this will avoid anything that could be spoiled by temp in beer production. You can add Herbal Medicine to it too if you don't want to think about the two year shelf time. This will make them store other long life food like rice and berries but my fridges are next to my cooking station anyway so good travel time gain. For deep immersion you'd add a dry goods storage next to both and at that point you care enough to manual, eh? There's also a few long shelf life drugs like ambrosia you could freeze with manual checks in the drug category.

Imo wort & hops should be in fridge, beer barrels not, ambrosia yes, beer itself eh, you shouldn't have pets or infants in there in the first place Iirc brewing beer will die if overheated or frozen. It'll at least pause if too cold, so it should be in the kitchen anyway. If you have egg boxes usually the animals will be able to crap their eggs into there and they won't be collected until the box is full

My keg rooms are always separate and beer should be chilled on principle once it's done and bottled.  (There's also a mod that gives a benefit to doing so but for the life of me I can't find it.) Heeeyyy, Hospitality and RT Fuse are back! Now if Rim of Madness: Bones would update I'd be missing next to nothing for the jump to 1.5

Where’s my mod that makes the meat invasion look like Zerg creep? Seriously though, looking forward to the inevitable reskins for Anomaly stuff. It’s all so grotesque and at odds with the vanilla art style, I can’t bring myself to play it yet.

It's not enormously surprising that a society would create a servile caste necessary to uphold the power of the ruling class and then at the same time, instill deep internalized shame within them for doing the thing they're forced to do by that society, and also look down on them for doing it.

There's honestly a lot of playstyles for previous DLCs that mesh really well with Anomaly. I've been having a blast with both my sanguophage and mechanitor runs. It's a good DLC For sanguophage especially, it felt very appropriate to have a corpse-eating tree in the garden, and a bunch of ghouls running around Broken Cog fucked around with this message at 22:22 on Apr 21, 2024 |

I swear to god they flipped some internal switch on Randy with this last expansion. In the last ten hours of my stream I hit two toxic fallouts, a volcanic winter, 5 blights, 5 malarias, 3 plagues, 6 flus, several quad raids/animal insanities within a 3 day span, and all my pawns break at the drop of the hat due to all the anomaly stuff on top of it. Just absolutely brutal with pretty much zero good events in the mean time.

Did you start your run before the patch that integrates anomaly with the base game? I had a similar experience, like they patched the game and every event I missed happened all at once. Especially the sickness, I had pawns with both malaria and flu, it was pretty touch and go.

so it turns out later cultist raids can have the cultists come with death refusal, meaning they stand back up once after dying with their injuries healed and if you capture them before they use it, you can harvest multiple sets of their organs, or harvest their vital organs without giving colonists the "organ murderer" negative mood!

Ok Rimworld thread. Last time I came in here, before Anomaly was released, I asked if Royalty and Ideology were worth it. I believe I got input from people on both sides that may have liked one but not the other and came away from it thinking maybe I should grab both but ended up just playing more Helldivers and forgetting about it. I'll try to dig through my history and find it but this thread is generally insanely helpful with people who like to share. My general playstyle is "shut in" I guess. I don't do a lot of quests because I don't have a lot/any experience with caravans and never really broke out of my shell to try them too much. I prefer the 5-man primitive start and like trying all the different biomes as they all offer generally unique approaches at first. With Anomaly now out, I kind of wanted to regauge what people would recommend and maybe the order of recommended acquisition and what each uniquely bring to the table.

For isolationist colonies I would say biotech is good cos it adds kids and more types of dudes to fight/integrate/build supersoldiers out of. Also vampires are fun. Ideology lets you make different types of colonies, good if you want to vary your experience without having to necessarily do much, also if you want to really never leave your gooncave you can facilitate that by making your guys hate being outside. Royalty is still mostly some quests, content, and the empire. I think it's a good addition but lower on the list I guess. Anomaly adds a lot of varied new content and threats for you to engage with, the majority of which do not require caravanning, you probably want to play shut ins anyway cos going outside is horrible. Also a bit of paranoia with the threats that visitors and new joiners can bring with them.

I'll try to dig through my history and find it but this thread is generally insanely helpful with people who like to share. Biotech is the big one if you don't have it, new weird people and tons of weird genes to make your own special snowflake xenotype Ideology has some playstyle things, weird not-religions that make people love being in mountain bases and growing fungus to eat, or don't care about corpses, or research slow/fast. Just a shitload of little things to tweak your playstyle in small or big ways. Royalty probably has the least "stuff" but it does have psycasts, and the empire and its victory method. Anomaly is by far the biggest DLC in terms of things it brings to the table, but they're almost entirely dangers or things to deal with, most of it is entirely gated behind activating it first though. AdamVS has been asked this question a lot, and I agree with his answer that going in reverse release order, except for anomaly, is going to get you the most stuff for your currency amount.

nthing that Biotech is the one you really want, Ideology and Royalty are situational, and Anomaly is basically postgame hardmode content for experts. Rimworld is a game though where you mostly will still get the full experience without any of the DLC. When you've played it to the point it feels passé then you can add a DLC or two and get re-hooked
