OwlFancier posted:Concrete works, although it marginally improves enemy mobility when crossing the killzone. You can also use an animal pen, which allows you to designate foliage to be auto-cut. You would need to enclose the zone with walls or fences however and peg the door open so that raiders will perhaps try to walk in rather than just knocking the walls down. Sokani posted:I mark the area for roof and then only build floors on area the roof can't cover, to reduce the amount of speed increase I offer the enemy. Since I build turrets along the side and they often beeline for them, raiders don't tend to walk on the paved area much. Yeah concrete or cobbles, or just roof is strong for this & cheap, but there's also grow zones, or at least the ones i've always used for forestry work. If you set them to cut but never plant then anything that's grown will get flagged for harvest. Not super optimal for this purpose but  Roofing over is something I could see working well but having different trade offs. It'll be darker, may be lovely dirt. You could use slightly more costly pillars instead of walls that look cooler but don't give as much protection as actual walls would. You could maybe use switches or something to decide if you want lights on or off or just accept it'll be dark under the roof area. If the roof caves in it might cause somebody like 1 damage. Tbh I was planning on making a 3x roofed over road to a second area on my map, with a bridge over the creek, this would be similar to that. You can just also keep burning the map down if you're to a certain point and a total dick? Frankly if there's a way to draft pawns and make them stop fires there should be a way to draft them and start fires.

It was asked earlier what the deal with Inhuman is and the short answer is it makes colonists immune or resistant to a lot of the Anomaly stuff. A lot of the fixed precepts are just kind of flavor for cultists who give no fucks, but not caring about corpses makes shamblers a lot easier to deal with the aftermath of at least. Inhumanizing is where the really powerful stuff happens. It has some big upsides and big downsides but overall your colonists will not suffer the negative mood effects caused by most entities. The -50% pain means that they can be around Nociospheres without trouble. Supposedly some entities are easier to contain at low temperatures so the -16 degrees C adjustment to the lower comfortable temperature range lets that not bother them. However, I've still noticed negative moods from "slept in the cold" at temperatures that didn't seem very low - I'm in a hot arid shrubland and sometimes passive coolers in bedrooms on colder nights make it cold enough for that, apparently. No social interactions means that the colonist has a fixed opinion of 0 for everyone no matter what. This means no positive or negative effects result ever from social interactions. No positive or negative moods, no social fights, no romance. A colonist who goes on an insulting spree and targets an Inhumanized colonists will waste their breath as nothing will even register with the target. They don't seem to throw parties but they still get positive moods from ideology social events. As far as Anomaly content is concerned, this also means no negative moods from being near characters who have void mental breaks like insane ramblings. But there are also an awful lot of things from Inhumanization that aren't listed that I've noticed: No specific negative moods from things like flesh tentacles, but Body Purists will still have the general grossout from artificial body enhancements. They can eat raw Twisted Meat and wear clothes made of Dread Leather. Other raw foods bother them, though. The disturbing aura from Bioferrite Generators does not bother them. Tainted clothing does not bother them. Grab all the gross Marine Armor you like off of raider corpses. They still disliked tattered clothing. They still don't like to sleep in rooms with entities, which surprised me when I was experimenting with it. Note that friendly ghouls don't bother anyone in your faction regardless of ideology or inhumanization, but prisoners gain the sleeping near an entity negative mood if ghouls are in the prison room. The downsides are pretty potent, though. Say goodbye to Art, Animals, and Social. You can live without animals by butchering humans and entities, but bad Art and Social are annoying. While Inhumanized colonists don't care about beauty, they still care about room impressiveness and you'll have a harder time juicing that without a good artist. Not to mention the lack of art as trade goods, though I guess human leather clothing can be used there. Bad Social means good luck recruiting or converting anyone the usual way. You can get lucky with conversion rituals but it might be a good idea to add extra rituals with new colonists as a reward, and roll the dice there. Not to mention that suppressing entities that need it is a social task! If you set your ideology's diversity precept to neutral the Inhumanized colonists won't care if there are other members of other ideologies around, but those people will be freaking the gently caress out from essentially everything all the time which is inconvenient.

Jelly posted:Any tips for converting someone to an ideology who is particularly stubborn? Are there times you just need to cut people loose? Stick them in a lovely prison cell so they have a bad mood, and every so often they'll get a mental break for 50% loss of certainty. If it hits 0% because of the break they'll switch to a new ideologion at random. If their resistance to conversion was from precepts in their original ideologion you can proceed with normal conversion, but if they're naturally resistant due to traits then you might have to keep fishing until they land on yours.

The Lone Badger posted:Does adding more than one bionic weapon help? Just lowers the % chance of using the best one right? As I understand it, there's a 75% chance that a pawn will use its best melee attack, and everything else is lumped together and selected at random for the remaining 25%. Adding extra bionics has fairly negligible benefits as a result, though it might make a difference if an arm gets blown off or something.

Power claws reduce move speed however, so you're taking a hit on your dodging all the time for minor gains. You're probably better off using a power claw and a bionic/archotech arm for that manipulation bonus to increase your chance to hit.

Would a vent on an exterior wall work for venting the geothermal room? Doing a tribal game right now and just have a vent in my pantry that I open when it gets cold outside to make my food last the winter. I don't have any DLC and mostly just checking out the 1.5 changes. Books are neat, found two so far that just let me get techs done during idle time, one for smithing and one for drug production, and a couple novels that just help with having recreation variety. And I also got a quest to make 15 steel clubs in exchange for a power cell and a thing that instantly researches a tech, so as soon as I finish researching electricity I'm popping that right on microelectronics. (No idea if that was new or not but I've never seen it before)

So we're gonna do this Polynesian mermaid thing. Through an intricate array of mod interactions I have come up with a colony of huge half-human half-fish people that worship an ancient sleeping fish god and various other things. Been cooking this idea for a while and I think I finally have the stuff to make it work the way I want (Pathfinding Framework was a big item): map is an interaction between Biomes!: Islands and Map Designer "natural islands" to make the land area a lot smaller Flesh Forge fucked around with this message at 09:12 on Apr 24, 2024 |

I made a circular structure to store wastepacks in and put two cooling fans inside to freeze them, but for some reason the temperature wouldn't go below +10C. So I added two more, and it wouldn't go below 0C. So I added two more and only then it managed to stay stable negative temperatures. Then a couple of in-game years later I noticed that the building was slightly too large to be roofed, so there was always a hole in the roof there which is why it wouldn't cool the gently caress down.

If it also removes a reduction in the scale of raids at low wealth then that option is completely misleading and pointless. Are you sure it works like that? Yes. By default, it scales the raid according to your wealth, both up and down, so that you get appropriate level of challenge (assuming that you aren't neglecting your defense). How do you imagine the game will decide the strength of the raid otherwise? Without wealth-scaling it will scale based on time instead, which will make the game more difficult as you will now have the added time pressure of having to keep up with the raising raid strength, that doesn't otherwise exists. https://rimworldwiki.com/wiki/AI_Storytellers

The raid size would be determined by number of pawns, defences, weapons, randomness etc. was my hope. I guess if Rimworld relies entirely on wealth to calculate raids then turning off scaling won't work, but it's unfortunate that having 1 pawn with a knife and a 1000 jade gives you a massive raid.

Yes that's my understanding too, and what I meant (though I admit, not what I actually said) when I asked if there isn't a mod that changes poo poo so that raids scale with something other than wealth, like number of pawns, tech level, caliber of available weapons/armor, etc. etc.

I thought that too before but I recently looked it up and that's not how Randy works. Cassandra will send extremely regular raids, that scale closely to your wealth. Randy will send very irregular raid, that will additionally have a random 0.5-1.5x strength modifier on top of that. On average, Randy sends as many raids as Cassandra but their strength will be more random in both directions. There's also an additional adaptation system for all storytellers that will scale the raid strength up or down depending on how much damage you have taken. If you're beating the raids flawlessly, the next one will be harder, and if you've taken some damage the next one will be easier. On top of wealth loss/gain. tl;dr just lower the raid strength or overall difficulty instead.
