Flesh Forge posted:It turns out cold snap is just as bad, because ... tribals can't make parkas I think tribal starts need some work in terms of clothing you can make. Invading tribals need to start wearing heat/cold resistant clothing too, it's kind of silly. They're uneducated, not stupid. They can work out how to put together some furs for the cold or nice desert robes to keep off the heat.

OwlFancier posted:Oh yeah scythers are bastards and there's not really a good way to kill them fuckers except bait them round a corner and EMP grenade them, then mob them with clubbers/automatic fire from close range. I've had success with setting up by a wall and equipping a simple pistol. You can pop out of cover, shoot, then pop back in before they can retaliate. It takes a while and you need a good shooter, but it's pretty risk free if you're careful.

Danaru posted:At the very least it also means fighting mechanoids armed with miniguns is basically a safe bet if you have cover. Or even if you don't. Miniguns are the worst. I have literally had a shooter kill a minigun wielding centipede with a survival rifle by standing out in the open while the vast majority of minigun bullets scattered harmlessly. You fire them into a crowd because due to how accuracy works you're literally more likely to hit the guy next to the target than the target itself. Aim at the tree next to them if there's only one.

Getting the silver together to actually let you trade is kind of reliant on getting traders in the first place. You know, ones that aren't tribals who only buy useless junk that isn't worth anything and thus you can't make an industry around it. gently caress tribal traders

Eiba posted:Horrible catastrophes that make you go, "oh god, I should have planned for this!" are great. Horrible catastrophes, or even minor ones, that just give you an unavoidable flat penalty randomly for no reason feel really bad. That's the big, BIG flaw with Rimworld to me right now. Events are so rarely a case of something you should have planned for. Mostly they're just a big gently caress YOU. Blight should be something you survive by planting a variety of crops. Solar flares shouldn't gently caress over hydroponics so thoroughly and should be something you can get through by maybe having some alternate equipment options. What is the electricity even doing? If they died because of a lack of light from your sun lamps that would make sense, but they just die because the hydroponics basic wasn't powered. Is it meant to be because the plant isn't getting water pumped over it? gently caress, let me assign a pawn as an emergency water giver in that case. Edit: Diseases too just seem to be something that happens just because. The best you can do against them is to get a constant supply of that drug to help against some diseases, and making sure you have a bunch of medicine on hand and enough spare kidneys to make sure everyone can rest through the disease and not die.

Teikanmi posted:Penoxcycline is really low on the research area and instantly gives anyone who contracts disease 61% immunity. Not all disease! But it does do it for malaria, yes. I think you can actually administer it after contracting malaria, but I'm not sure. It's cheap enough to produce once you have an economy going and you only need to take a pill every 5 days so it's not a major drain to just keep everyone on it at all times though. I have multiple pawns with chemical fascination and boy is it a pain. Having drugs around is drat useful for when you really need something done, but now I have a bunch of addicts and I keep needing to replace kidneys. Regular pawns getting addicted is fine since I can just eat the productivity and mood hit until they get clean, but ones with chemical fascination just go on binges even if their mood is good. And overdose constantly.

The game could really use a restrain action where the pawn tries not to hurt the target while taking them prisoner, with the downside being that if it fails then your pawn just took a few hits from the target. Success would increase a fuckton by multiple pawns piling on one. It would be handy for stopping berserking colonists without, y'know, maybe accidentally killing them.

Know what I want? Something that makes getting pawns over addiction easier. Make it something that fulfills their drug need but keeps withdrawal symptoms, so they don't have the massive morale penalty but you still have something else to deal with. Go-juice withdrawal in incredibly rough to the point where very slight injuries are incapacitating due to pain, so honestly it's not like there aren't already big downsides.

While it's possible to take someone from alive and standing up under their own power to dead in a single punch, it's kind of unlikely. And it's usually because you smashed your head on something hard on the way down.Playstation 4 posted:Every game/mod with a ~~* ViSiOn *~~ is always all about Realism™ right up to the point it's beneficial, then the blubbering cries of balance come out.

Maps better have a ton more resources to mine because you already rapidly run out of stuff to mine even on a fairly small colony and just end up trading for it. Setting up a mining camp is kind of a crapshoot because honestly that stuff just didn't work very well at all last time I played.

New Butt Order posted:Are raids actually connected in any way to NPC settlements? If I beat back an enemy pirate raid and then quickly drop-pod into the settlement it came from, will it be a mostly-depopulated town of people still recovering from injuries or are raiders just spawned at the edge of your map and then disappear into the void? From what I can tell no. Raids arrive no matter what, even if the nearest tribals or raiders are a few months trek away they still somehow manage to keep sending guys with no real sanity regarding how much food they'd use up or what a waste of time it would be even if they did manage to rob you.
