Some dude made a mod where you can CQC dunk someone Metal Gear style if you have enough melee skills. Its hilariously overpowered since it has no cooldown but it's so satisfying to just flatten out any berzerking colonist

I find worked stone to be hard to come by and make in huge amounts. Any ideas? Any mods to make more bricks or build a better brickworks?

How do you guys deal with raider corpses? My carnivores tend to munch on my lavish meals instead of eating in the corpse freezer, so I started turning the bodies into kibble (good for herbivores who are locked inside too). But then this leaves me with a problem of all their worn junk. Its all tainted so I use a medieval mod tailor bench to turn it back into whatever material its made out of. Managed to get some hyperweave this way. But this takes forever after huge raids. So I started putting their wooded armor and masks, along with any socks and boots into a napalm furnace that I turn on when it gets full. But this honestly feels wasteful and takes a bit of microing to set up the napalm each time. Is there a better way besides just more tailor benches and junk stockpiles?

Yeah that's my problem.
If there was a way to get a Mad Max caravan going to haul pretty much everything to a new map, I'd be much more likely to do it.

So there's a mod that lets you lab-grow meat, milk, and eggs in special hydroponics bins. Is there anything similar that would let me grow things like organs, hemogen, genes, etc?

My only 'killbox' is a tunnel with a button-linked blast-door on each side, filled with chainlink fences. So far I just shoot things while they approach through the fences but the eventual goal is to find a way to vent rimatomics heat into that room or something on-demand so I can open it, allow them in, shut it and roast them. Seems appropriate for surviving a feralisk jungle.

There should be a system to let you flood a room with chemfuel to 1. clean it 2. gas everyone in it and 3. set on on fire if you want to.

OwlFancier posted:

Basically if I produce enough chemfuel I should be able to do the WW2 britain thing and just start burying tonnes of it in the road on the off chance a german tank shows up and you can just obliterate it and half the town at once.

One thing I noticed is that children (starting at age 7) can get the "no tree connection" mood debuff and also cannot link to trees until age 13.

They do go bang, and since they hold way more energy than a normal battery the results can be pretty hilarious. But I'd still rather have 1 of those than a bunch of vanilla batteries

Is there a way to convert colonists into prisoners?

I've got a couple of useless colonists I'd like to convert into hemogen farms. It's annoying having to schedule the operations manually.

This could also give you advance notice of raids, traders and visitors, but I think that might require rewriting the respective events so it's probably a no go.

Megasloths aren't pen animals.

For non-pen animals, you'll need to create a new area, expand it to where you want big guy to be able to go, and set him to that area.

He's a Barkkin from... Genetics Expanded Mammalia, I think? I know the Mammalia part is right, at least. The salient genes are the stomach boosts, claws, a boost to damage while unarmed, Aggressive, Kill Thirst, and Carnivore.

e: It's Biotech Expansion - Mammalia, and here's the genes:

(Natural Focus is from a different mod, it just gives a gene to tribals that lets them use anima trees, it was installed back when tribal babies couldn't use the trees and I haven't removed it)

Danaru posted:

I sorta wish there was a cannibalism light, like butchering is acceptable but eating it is gross, so you can still sell the leather and turn the meat into fuel or whatever. Relaxed cannibalism with human meat disabled in the kitchen is basically this already but like, if my brain wasn't weird and stupid I wouldn't have this many hours in the game.

coca leaves can make an antiseptic, hemostatic, pain-relieving poultice. the required tools are a mortar and pestle and a bandage, assuming you don't just chew it. i'm not talking about refined cocaine, i'm talking about plants that have been eaten, drunk or applied as teas or tinctures, or applied as poultices, and have proven or likely therapeutic effects. in the case of opium and coca, there's definitive evidence they've been used that way since ancient greece and european contact, and circumstantial evidence that goes back to the neolithic.

First time raising a baby in a colony. I asked the expectant mother to build a crib. They added some art and gave it a foreboding name. Colonist Ross is the father.

Having said that, Vanilla Expanded does keep releasing new cool looking poo poo, the latest one is a Lycanthrope xenotype. There's some meme bullshit in there like a gene that triggers your morph randomly but overall seems like a good pack of stuff

One of my best shooters was out hunting and got got by basically the most dangerous possible foe for someone with a comparatively slow firing rifle: Ten manhunter British Shorthair Cats. She had no hope of outrunning them and although she managed to plink down five or six before contact, they were just too small even for her real solid accuracy to prevail.

Turns out four cats can tear an adult human to shreds in a couple of seconds if they put their minds to it. We have four cats irl so this is concerning to me.

One of them even survived to make contact with the backup pawn who showed up first and the resultant infection in his head got to 99% before immunity.

Goddamn cats

This is really neat, but I hadn't realized upon installing that it's treated as a separate map with no automatic pathing between the two. I'd been hoping to use it as a portable prefab shelter for long range mineral scanner expeditions, and it still looks useful for that, but I'm not enthralled with having to micromanage that colonist's schedule to make sure they're inside the RV during sleep time so they don't get a negative moodlet from sleeping on the ground when there's a nice warm comfy bed inside the RV.

I'm guessing this is an engine limitation that would be very difficult to work around, but fingers crossed that this'll be feasible at some point.

I'm actually glad to see some straight up advantage to psychic deafness because it's been going very heavily the other way for quite a while now.

And yeah, I grabbed the pawn, we'll see how it goes. Unfortunately I'd already sold the Luci I'd found in the nearby ancient danger, so I guess it's time to go raid some complexes.
