Toxic fallout is a weird nothing event that I really dislike. Either it hits early on when you're scrabbling for food, in which case you either die or move off the tile, or it hits when you're established enough and it's trivially dealt with with only a bunch of annoying zoning micromanagement and building roofs over everything. It also punishes suboptimal-but-aesthetic base design and rewards "cram everything in a big box and/or under a mountain" base design.

What does Inhuman ideology entail exactly? It's the Inhumanization specifically that I don't understand.

I always remove the short circuit/zzzt event and solar flare. If you want to add it to an existing game, create a new game with the stuff you don't want, then edit the save games and move it over. If you need further instructions, just post and someone will help you.

I've heard that Zzzt... event simply can't happen if you only use the hidden conduits. I certainly haven't seen it in 1.5

Traditionally it also couldn't happen if you didn't use batteries(i.e. you used all wood/chemfuel/geothermal for power and never used wind/solar), though I haven't started up a colony since the new version so that might have changed in 1.5.

Enclosed bases are great until the resident pyro breaks and the ambient inside temp shoots up to the triple digits. ...not that I've had this issue recently.

Characters with an inhumanization ideology will go cthulhu-crazy the first time they have a mental break. This will give them a permanent mood boost and big penalties to social and animal skills. Inhumanized characters don't care about wearing tainted gear, they don't get unhappy from seeing chimeras, they don't mind wearing dread leather, they aren't bothered by the stuff colonists with one of the new anomaly-specific mood breaks do, they are perfectly happy eating monster meat, they aren't bothered by having tentacle arms, etc. They are basically cult fanatics. It's a great ideo for leaning into the Anomaly content.

It couldn't happen if you didn't use conduits, i.e if you directly connected everything to your power producers. It could happen if you didn't use batteries but it would only start small fires rather than explosions, the explosion scales with battery power. I also haven't really noticed it in 1.5 except maybe once but I might have been using normal conduit then.

This week on the Rim: Some Neanderthals are about to attack, I send out my one Yttakin fighter to Warcall a nearby grizzly bear, and then am confused when my guy suddenly is KO'd and bleeding out when nobody is near him. Then the Metalhorror Emergence event popup appears! Turns out my man got infected from a sightstealer(?!?!?) awhile ago, and infected three of my other six colonists while feeding them at some point. So now I have a bleeding out colonist slowly crawling home while his metalhorror spawn and an angry bear are fighting the invaders, and in-base, my vampire, his dirtmole wife, and a slightly-dinged-up pigskin fighter (who had beaten up a gorehulk a day prior) are going bedroom to bedroom beating up the horrors while the vamp is spamming Coagulate on everyone. Somehow, everyone survives (the raiders tried to kidnap the Yttakin but his carrier lost too much blood and collapsed at the map edge, giving  enough time to chain Leap over and coagulate/rescue my guy, drag him back to base, and dump a hemogen pack into him.)24h later another neanderthal raid happens, 2 colonists die, 3 get kidnapped, most of my power plants get destroyed. Of my remaining two colonists, one is injured and resting, the other (my remaining good medic and construction pawn) is going to die of the flu within a day because the past 48h of events resulted in her not getting enough medical treatment. I have her rebuild my geothermal plant before she dies. Then the Obelisk outside hits 100% and my last pawn Goes Away. A thunderstorm sets the field around my geothermal plant on fire and it burns down, 600 meat in my freezer promptly expires.

Solar flare would be cooler if it killed power generation only and tested your battery supply. As it is I disable it alongside sapper raids.

I got a wandering blind healer who wanted to join my colony and insisted I ask no questions about him whatsoever. He came with an “unnatural healing” ability, which rapidly healed people but caused fleshmass mutations. It was cool, but after keeping him around for a bit he turned hostile and summoned sightstealers to attack the base. Managed to take down the sightstealers and arrest him, but does anyone know if he’ll pull this poo poo again if I recruit him? Tried releasing him, but he just leaves.

I did this to a guy who betrayed me and he seemed loyal afterwards. One fun thing I wanna try doing is making my entrance a big freezer full of corpses with deadlife ieds in them. The zombies kill invaders adding more corpses for next time.

I got a blind healer yttakin, whose drawback is just unsettling conversations, and after inducting him into my cyborg cult we gave him a bionic eye, regrew the other, and gave him a toxic filtration lung. He's like a new man.

Man there are some things in this game that are just monumentally loving dumb. Smoothing walls seems pretty dumb when I swear you can just mine them, clear them, and build new ones in less time - but at least they're strong and potentially worth the investment for defense. Just "claimed" a structure and I have 3 colonists repairing walls on the smallest room ever. It's taken days. It would have likely taken less time to build 5 equivalent rooms from scratch. Why the gently caress does this even exist as an option. Also lost my last game because I had my doctor set to "self-tend" and some rear end in a top hat we murdered dropped a bunch of nice health packs super early in the game and he ran off to get them while dying instead of using the ones that were a square away and I didn't notice. He was also responsible for saving the other guy so when I saw he was dead I just said gently caress it and deleted the whole thing. Some colonies just don't deserve saving.

Well this is better than having the entire colony get overtaken before you can react to it I guess (three out of eight colonists) but this time they just popped with zero clues, much too consider experiencing so much anxiety over modes of transmission that I'm gonna just not bother trying to take any precautions whatsoever in the future lol

It also seems designed for large colonies. With smaller colonies you won't have time to research it before it infects half your colonists. Fortunately it's not too hard to handle any more

 Ngl, this is among the most hosed-up things in Rimworld right now. Imprison some monsters to drain for bioferrite, summon some rando via ritual, squeeze the life force out of them like a lemon. I could have squeezed harder, but didn't want to Saio to become too young. My The Thing infested 2/3 of my melee fighters. My colony was saved by a child keeping people from bleeding out while the other fighters regrouped and removed the threat. It's a miracle the colony survived, and even more incredible that nobody died. One of my pawns crawled from the anima tree to the colony entrance, leaving an insanely long blood trail.

Metalhorrors are countered pretty hard by robots. A metalhorror will beat a Tunneller 1v1 but it will take like two hours to do it, and a Paramedic bot will never lie to you during surgical inspections.

QuarkJets posted:Aren't smoothed walls also more beautiful? That's a good enough reason to have the option I think it’s the case that Marble walls and Smoothed walls both have one Beauty, other stone walls as well as wood walls don’t have any, and then that all Tile floors as well as Smoothed ones have one Beauty. Either that or swap walls and floors. Either way it’s really not worth the extra time unless you like the aesthetic (very valid) or you’ve got really limited stone blocks for fireproof cave decor.
