You still have to store the raw materials though, unless you are sustinence farming a tiny little plot and rarely have extra left over.

Planting a new tiny plot every day or two so they eventually cycle for constant food?

I had one colonist who I had to joywire to keep him functional because he perpetually had seven simultaneous grumps about flirting rejections.

From three women.

Half the attempts were on the one married woman in the colony.

I like them helping during crop harvest time though :saddowns:

Make a small low priority stockpile right outside your pantry. Humans will go inside to the high priority fridge, the pets will set stuff outside since that's the only applicable stockpile for that good they can reach. Nice tidy short haul piles for one person to focus-haul

The Prepare Carefully mod is great for setting up the :wtc: scenarios. I made a family of four, replaced the starting pet with a pair of wild boars, replaced the starting guns with shotguns.

Nice country family: mother does cooking, farming, and crafting; daughter helps ma with cooking and farming, and is the animal tender and trader/warden; father hunts, builds, and helps wrangle the animals; and son helps pa with the buildin' and huntin' when he isn't doing the bookwork.

And they're all sociopathic cannibals with human leather dusters and cowboy hats :kheldragar:

They recently rescued a lady from a wrecked escape pod, and then a pirate raid happened. The poor girl's having some trouble settling in with The Family

While setting what wildlife has wandered near my new colony, I saw a tortoise in a pool of blood. Checking her, she had scratch scars on both eyes, a bitten-off nose, and a shattered plastron(underbelly shell), all from a timber wolf attack.

I then found the wolf nearby, with some belly and neck bites. Oh, and missing three legs and its HEAD.

I'm taming Little Gamera immediately and looking for the pet bionics mods

Small update from Unnamed Gooncamp (still too early to get a settlement name):


Our clubhouse, though crude, is secure, we've rummaged through DIY&GWS enough to get some basic agriculture down (Corn, Rice, Potatos, and some cotton for fresh cargo jorts).

News from Camp ParaCon - Bulletin Edition

    Leonard J. Crabbs apparently wrote a Legally Distinct From The Necronomicon tome while under the Monolith's influence. He's rattled by the experience, but we just throw the book into the storage pile and hand him a few doobies and he's ok.

    Or maybe giving him weed while emotionally fragile was a bad idea, as he proceeds to have a mental break and eat 2/3rds of the remaining survival rations, you fat gently caress.

    Meanwhile, the Ominous Monolith has somehow migrated over to the Doom House (which did pop up an Ancient Warning alert when someone went by it, so that's getting left alone for now... )

    A fridge, cooking area, and stonecutting workshop are setup but jesus christ these men dont haul there's like 300 wood just sitting randomly around the farmland.

    A tortoise goes manhunter. JeffK, proving he's as leet as ever, destroys it with a minigun barrage at point-blank range and emerges unscathed.

    Solar power and a battery are set up, a cooler for the food storage room, and the first harvest of rice comes in.

    Lowtax and JeffK both caught Malaria at the same time. Fortunately, L.J.C. is the camp Doctor.

    A heatwave rolls in shortly thereafter and while the sickbros rest in bed, Leo runs around like a champ gathering up all the un-harvested berries, rice, wood, etc, while medicating his clients (and occasionally rolling Lowtax out of bed because he's the only one who knows how to loving boil rice come on now 0 cooking on the other two???) JeffK gets borderline mental-break level so he's rolled out of bed, given his medicinal marijuana joint, and tucked back in.

    Heatwave ends, LJC clubs a boar to death. Lowtax is rolled out of bed to be the Ham Whisperer and butcher it, fry up some pork fried rice for everyone to not starve, smoke a joint, and go back to bed.

    The Malariaboys recover, an Ibex goes mad, challenges LJC to an honourable duel, and gets its skull caved in by the Jade Club after cracking a femur.

    Some EMP shells fall from a cargo pod. A singular shiv-armed tribal attacks. She has OK stats so I prepare to try and capture her but then she just grabs a stack of unseen components somewhere on the edge of the map (:rip: my hidden starting 30 components I guess) and fucks off.

    LLJK 360 noscopes a wolf with his minigun.

    Lowtax tames a breeding pair of turkeys. Trade caravan shows up, we flip them our assorted leathers, some rice, and a bit of weed for a fat stack of raccoon meat and some spending money.

    Another solo raider, she shivs up LJC and Jeff pretty good before dying, they get patched up.

    Another one shows up, Lowtax is tired of this and blows her leg off with his rocket launcher (What is with all the solo female attacks on the goonbase?), she gets locked up, LJC gets a chest infection.

    Rescue Pod drops nearby, LJC heals, got two potential recruits waiting, finally able to start (normal) research. The Not-Necronomicon is still in the stockpile. Waiting.

Ophelia got attacked by the resident Giant Spider. She was successfully saved thanks to timely Goon Squad intervention. The spider's meat was promptly turned into kibble.

She is projected to make a full recovery.

About 2 days later, literally within 2 hours in-game time: A raid showed up,

a pyromaniacal athsmatic cowboy clad in body armor and carrying a robe wanders into the map to join (I just looked over the past three pages and can't find this character, this looks like a goon-insert),


and an escape pod drops, containing so͇̙̜͔̣me̺th̟͈̯̦̞i̖͇̙n̜͖̣̮̻͖̼g͈

Something else? My session is now on pause while I await guidance.

The whole "changing your body destroys your soul maaaaan" feels like an incredibly obsolete trope that only really works for games like Shadowrun where it works thematically because spirits and magic exist in universe too and are tied to your literal soul. It doesn't work thematically for Rimworld at all, and it absolutely didn't need to be 'balanced' this way

Also in the Shadowrun world, at least in one of the computer games in the setting, being An Actual Psycho/Sociopath might negate/offset the whole "Excessively chroming up your body literally makes your soul stop recognising your body" and considering the general discussion going on right now itt, it fits.

I don't know what mod I have is loving it up, but there's some sort of batshit interaction with the Run & Gun mod where, if I have it activated, even if I turn off the ability to let NPCs use it, every animal in the game gets 0 cooldown on their attacks.

I shoot a deer, it aggros, and instead of one headbutt before I put it down, it just gives me the Raging Demon and my pawn is bleeding out on the floor from 9 wounds.

The first time I had it on, I had a Black Hive attack event spawn (Alpha Animals), so I had a megascarab doing the Killer Rabbit from Monty Python on some guys, and a spider-thing with a venom spit attack basically gatling-super-soakered a fortified gunline to death.

It's hilarious, but also :iit:. I wish I could actually use that mod.
