Yup. This is because vents don't perfectly equalize temperature, so the more vents between a room and a heat source, the colder that room will be.

So my game refuses to start after upgrading to 9e, just getting a black screen before reaching the menu. This happening to anyone else?

This game is amazingly addictive. The first guy I finally convince to join my colonists is a pirate raider nicknamed Steroid who was injured in a hail of gunfire attacking my camp. It took about a week of medical rehab and constant chatter before he finally agreed to join. It was a proud moment; my first new recruit! Finally getting the hang of things! Except that as soon as he joined a message popped up. "Colonist needs help" What did the new recruit need help with? That's when I learned a valuable lesson about inspecting health statuses. Mr. Steroid could not walk. Or talk. Or see. I'd been nursing a vegetable, which begs the question just how did he agree to join? One blink yes, two blinks no? That night Dr. Oz performed his first euthanasia operation. We buried 'roids out in the yard. Our first lost colonist, his time with us so fleeting. ps - Dr Oz lost his nose in a muffalo hunting accident early on, but this seems to only be a cosmetic thing. anyone know if this comes into play anywhere yet? i.e. does it negatively influence other colonists to be treated by the noseless man?

Luckily my first brain damaged colonist happened to be my cook so I just gave him a bed next to the kitchen and that's where he'll stay til launch day. He cooks slowly and walks at a leisurely pace but still pumps out quality food.

I just started playing Rimworld. I ran across a medium sized sealed building that after lots of preparation setting up sandbags and turrets outside of it, I opened it up. Only thing it had were two cryptosleep pods that upon poking popped out two human space marines. One bolted for the map edge, the other came out unconscious. I nursed the unconscious one back to health, and when he woke up, he ate a meal in my canteen and then bolted for the map edge. How was I supposed to capture them?

The rescue option won't give you the option to convert them. Rescue is intended for helping neighbors that are injured near your base, you can help them out and they will like you more. Any drop-pod or cryocasket will have neutrals inside, so there's no downside to capturing them instead.

dMastri posted:This is true. How do you tell if they are permanently brain damaged? All brain damage in the base game is permanent, unless you mean when do they became incapacitated from it, in which case I believe it's when the brain drops to about 2 or 3 hit points. The brain affects a stat called consciousness, which heavily influences virtually every action your colonist can take, including walking. This makes it easy to spot brain damaged people, because they will putter around verrrry slowly, and you'll probably get warning messages about them starving or freaking out because the 3 hour trip it takes other colonists to walk across the map and fetch some metal is taking them 3 days instead. dMastri posted:ps - Dr Oz lost his nose in a muffalo hunting accident early on, but this seems to only be a cosmetic thing. anyone know if this comes into play anywhere yet? i.e. does it negatively influence other colonists to be treated by the noseless man? Noses don't do anything right now. You'd think their loss might have an impact on the social skill, but apparently not.

Meaning, you have to have a jail and prisoner-marked beds set up. Right click the cryptosleep dudes and capture; if it doesn't show up as an option you may need to draft the colonist doing the capturing first. If "arrest" is an option, it should do the same thing.

I don't think it's specifically that they're raider skeletons, but simply that raiders are perturbed by dessicated corpses as much as your colonists are.

People might call putting corpses up on display barbaric, but isn't it more barbaric to just let them keep coming and get slaughtered? If you display some corpses and the raiders run away, that's less deaths. That's downright kind.

I'm just imagining someone with half his skull caved in that only remembers how to do one thing from before the accident, but he knew it so well that it's now his entire life. And he loves doing it. Where's the gif of the two  popping into a doorway and saying "PANCAKES!" or something?

Yeah, there was an "evil" option (I think it was in research?) but the way they were advertised was actually more for managing your colonist morale. I don't think the system was ever completed though and Tynan dropped it several alphas back.

In early versions of the game you could either make your people happy to keep them from breaking or leaving the colony, or you could use fear to keep them in line, which you could do by beating prisoners, executing them, putting gibbet cages everywhere...I think that was all there was.

I hadn't played in a while and just tried it out again, the temperature stuff adds a lot and I haven't even reached operations and prosthetics. Had a nice little colony going, a large group of tribals visited, and while hunting one of my three colonists shot a tribal. They didn't see the humour of the situation.

You can still make a poor man's(rich man's?) mine using a turret. put it in a room with locked entrance and exit. raiders all bunch up until the front door breaks, they rush in and attack the turret. The turret explodes and kills half of them, downs 1/4, and the last 1/4 flee bleeding.
