The second Anomaly preview is up, spoilers as usual. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/294100/view/4160834030793914025 They seem to really be pushing the 'get out on the world map' so I hope they do a lot that improves caravanning.

Looks like the release date is April 11th. Not sure if that was mentioned before or just the "its a month away".

I'm surprised at just how underwhelming the entirety of the new features are. I knew the stuff they were concentrating on was atmospheric combat challenges, and I'm not surprised those aren't interesting to me, but going over the rewards... there is nothing there that would actually make managing a colony remotely more enjoyable. Just weapons and some generic boosts. If I can't use zombies to work or haul, what's the point? If we learn that these 'ghouls' can in fact haul in the next update I will reverse my opinion on this whole expansion. All I'm looking for is something fun and rewarding that isn't just fighting.

I'm fairly concerned about this mechanic that silently just kills one or more of your colonists, randomly  interesting gimmick but wow no I won't be doing that beyond maybe one time to check it out, I don't usually play Rimworld treating my colonists are completely disposable e: maybe it's not fatal/permanent brain wrecking

Looking at the techs they’re previewing, I’m wondering if the idea is that, by poking the bear and bringing anomalies down on yourself, you gain tools that are highly efficient against normal raids—which would give you the room to refocus against the escalating anomalies instead. Something’s got to give if you’re expected to start building more security inwards, right?

This update mentions being able to create weapons that cause berserk, psychic shock, as well as psychic animal pulsers. Seems cool! Those and zombification mortars/ieds are very powerful defensive tools It sounds like you also can turn monsters into electrical generators that's sweet Ghouls are being discussed in a future update so I wouldn't put much thought into them yet - there are Ghoul Enhancement research items so the implication is that you can create an incredible melee combatant at the cost that they'll do no work, reminding me of Warcaskets but it's a zombie-like person. I'm also intrigued by the mention of outdoor heating, is the temperature system getting overhauled or are we getting an item that changes the temperature of the whole colony tile?

Is there some reason my colonists never, ever, ever eat at a table even though they literally cannot get to the freezer without walking right past one?

If the table is too far away, they won't eat at it. I don't know what the exact length is, but generally I always put my food storage with an airlock opening either directly into my dining room, or a hallway next to the dining room. Ideally you'd have a fridge in the wall between the freezer and dining room! If the table is close, it's almost certainly because of zone assignments.

Sometimes a room becomes weirdly unappealing for pawns to take meals at, in a way that has nothing to do with zones, and I haven't pinned down why exactly this happens to me. I just build more tables when it does.

(I feel like it's also a uniquely Rimworld thing to complain about an aspect of the game [e.g. big summer harvests on a 20/30-day tile] but enjoy mitigating it [tables!! Shelves under roofs in the farm enclosure for all that extra corn!])

Danaru posted:Faction Resources, it's been out of date and slightly busted for a while though Ah, thank you for the heads up! Also this is a long shot, and most likely some really obscure mod interaction, but has anyone ever had an issue with work sites just not spawning? I was doing a raider ideology in a temperate forest colony (tribal) start, and I went through three seasons with absolutely no work site pop ups. I could force them to appear in [i]dev mode[i] just fine, and other quests were spawning, just not work sites themselves. Is there some sort of obscure code or mechanics that define when you start seeing them?

The vanilla ones should work fine, but modded ones might not support it properly since it's a DLC addition (especially storytellers that predate the DLC). Sometimes the storyteller does get 'stuck' for whatever reason but that shouldn't be the case if other quests were spawning normally.

i finally picked this up after years of hemming and hawing. i started with the default crashed ship setting and on the 3rd difficulty and chose a temperate forest, and have kind of just waltzed through things. i have more colonists than i can even keep busy at this point and am wanting for nothing. my only mistake has been building my base into a mountain, it seemed like a good idea but the infestations are A Problem. i want to finish this first colony and then start a new one on tribal with a higher difficulty and choose a tougher biome, maybe cold bog or something i dunno. anyway good game would recommend.

If you're starting with normal tech and in a temperate area then yeah it's not that hard of a game necessarily, if you have access to good farmland and a long growing window it's quite easy to make a lot of food. You can adjust the difficulty in the middle of the game if you want to, what storyteller are you using?
