Are you using a mod or something? How is your south-facing lamp showing a sprite outside of its own tile? Mine don't do that.

God only knows what, I stripped the list down and I can’t imagine what’s left in it that could cause that, but it must be the case. Thanks for the confirmation!

Of my 8 colonists, 4 are incapable of violence, 1 has 0/0 skill or passion. I have 1 good shooter, 1 mediocre melee and a ghoul, who's saved the colony single handedly several times. I'm turning to the dark arts to survive. A psychic ship crash landed and I didn't fancy my chances against the scythers. Draw fleshbeasts spawned a tunnel right under the ship fragment, destroying it

Yeah, having 5 out of 8 colonists permanently useless in a fight is a solid reason to restart, unless you are going for some sort of gimmick, line mechanitor only run.

Any good ways of dealing with predators as an animist colony other than walling off the entire pen area? Them attacking and eating my animals doesn't count as an aggressive move apparently, so my colonists get really mad if I force them to kill them.

If you want to love all the animals you have to love all the animals, even the ones that eat other animals.  But yeah fences are only useful for penning in livestock and they do jack-all for actually protecting them since most predators can just walk past them. If you want to keep predators away you'll need actual walls around the animal pens.

I found a very animist way of dealing with them. Tame and sell to a passing caravan. Hope they enjoy their 5 cobras.

It's saved the rear end of a yttakin kid visiting my colony as a refugee before, though your pawns might not be in position in time to save pen animals. Plus you still have to get it out of your pen.

Been away from Rimworld for a while, since Biotech. I have a mixed opinion about previous DLCs and I'm not sure if I should get back into things and pick up the new one. I though Royalty was... fine. Ideology was great! But I thought that biotech was super fiddly and overly complex, plus it just trashed the vibes in a way I didn't enjoy. What's the consensus on Anomaly so far?

If you want a DLC that doesn’t change the vibes it’s not what you’re looking for. It IS extremely cool and adds an absolute ton of new kinds of enemies and events, all of which have their own unique mechanics, so if you want to have to react to something besides the same basic raid types that you can respond to in the same way it’s unmatched.

If you are not interested in a series of eldritch challenges, there is absolutely nothing else in this DLC. The systems it adds aren't too fiddly, but they do radically change the vibe. The biggest thing it expects you do (besides fight new kinds of things) is capture monstrosities and study them in an alternate tech tree that gives you various eldritch powers to work with. If that whole vibe sounds fun, it's going to be amazing. If that kind of stuff doesn't fit with the vibes you're looking for in Rimworld, there's not going to be anything there for you. Out of curiosity, what about Biotech ruined the vibes for you? It is fiddly, but I thought it basically added a lot of options that you could easily opt out of if you weren't into them.

Man, why do animals not protect their master when he's being mauled to death as long as he's not drafted? My handler got a dark visions breakdown just as I got attacked by a massive wave of sightstealers, and all the elephants and panthers just stood around watching him getting beat down. Nothing I could do, since none of my other colonists had high enough animals skill to transfer them to temporarily.

Still playing without expansions, have a nice colony going with way too few colonists (just 6 for a colony that could easily sustain 10). Oh hey, a shuttle crash with two good candidates, let's rescue the- *drop pod raid, every colonist gets wounded* Okay, let's patch up and let people recover, send the least wounded to get the crash candida- *traditional raid, barely fought off* Okay, we survived and no one lost anything major, let's go check on those shuttle crash guys- Severe brain damage from blood loss. Welp.

My personal ranking for the DLC is Ideology Anomaly Biology Royalty but only because I really like the SCP and body horror themes Anomaly, while animal people and bougie themes do nothing for me.

You can do that in vanilla nowadays. Just draft someone, and when you right click on the wounded person there should be "Tend X" and "Tend X (without medicine)".

I have that (I believe - definitely have the functionality for it), but I didn't think I'd need to do it before the first raid hit, and I couldn't get someone to them between the first and second raid in time. It wasn't rapid bleeding, the raids just took forever to resolve.

I mean it has pig men and furry men and cave men and imp men but not specifically cat men or elephant men. You could probably make anime catgirls out of the biotech stuff by adding together parts of yttakin and highmates.

Started a new gimmick colony, will see how far this gets.   THE BLOODMOTH is nigh-immortal but not invincible, so I still have to put in some effort into keeping them alive, and if they ever die that's the end of the colony. Aim of the game is to power up THE BLOODMOTH by any means necessary, so completing the Monolith questline, maxed-out psylink and Empire title, stuffed to the gills with bionics, etc.

Goodby Weasel, everyone's friend & the man who practically built this settlement.  The raiders were aiming at someone else, missed, instantly destroyed his brain in one headshot. Also he instantaneously started rotting which was rough to see. All the raiders except 1 died.

QuarkJets posted:What I've never understood is why human leather and human meat is valued the way it is in-game. Human meat should be pretty easy to pass off as non-human meat if you wanted to because it's not particularly visually different from most meat once it's processed, so being able to sell mystery meat to people who would otherwise not know is reasonably plausible(people psychically knowing when they've consumed human meat in a meal or even more ludicrously in a nutrient paste slurry is kind of hilarious). Insect meat is described as being extremely weird and different and slimy and gross so it would be easy to identify on sight. Human leather being a hot commodity is pretty loving weird. Not only is it horrifying, it's also terrible for doing anything leather does and is also very, very identifiable. Everyone being in the market for human leather dusters is one of those legacy things that I think remains as it does due to sheer inertia rather than because Tynan is secretly in the tank for big cannibalism. The lust for human leather coats aside, warcrime playstyles aren't really that incentivized in the vanilla game. Slavery is situationally somewhat useful but extremely fiddly and intentionally designed so it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain the more you try to scale it up, organ harvesting is basically nonexistent as a reliable income stream without mods like death rattle that make it more viable, and functionally nothing evil you can do will make you more money than making GBS threads out billions of tons of drugs or corn or art. I do think that this is yet another example of how the overworld map/factions/diplomacy need a DLC-sized rework, because fleshing out the trade system and having a reputation to maintain that affects how other groups see/treat you based on your actions in a bit less of a simplistic way would be neat. Being reviled by other "civilized" factions because you're running the human leather Gucci Emporium would be interesting.

An obelisk created a clone of one of my colonists. The original had a son. The son eventually grew up. The colonists started doing chronophagy rituals to de-age the adults, and this brought the son and clone-mom into the same age range. And that's how I learned that clones don't inherit relationships and aren't prevented from dating the original's relatives.  I had to pop open developer mode and undo that real quick. Immediately after that, I gave 700 silver to some beggars and they got swarmed by sightstealers at the edge of the map. I got my money back, and one of them even survived. I wonder if I'll still get credit. edit: no worm girl fucked around with this message at 21:20 on May 6, 2024 |
