Did he ever fix that weird bisexuality thing? If not is there an easy way to have it fixed?

Help a newbie out. If I want the maximum time noodling around working out the base-building and the minimum time dealing with raids, what storyteller do I want? Randy on easiest mode?

This is assuming I ever play the game instead of just browsing mods.

I can't believe the game has gender locked clothes. I wanted to give my chef a top hat but.

Like they went in and put extra effort into making clothes have this effect.

This is like Bi/Gay being a specific trait. Someone making the calls in this games development is probably hiding their power level

Wait wtf? Is that real?

What's the mod to make colonists stop obsessively hitting on each other and going insane when they get shot down, and is it 1.3-compatible? I have a dude who is now at a -17 a few days into a new colony because he can't leave an asexual colonist alone. I think you get a -18 for a spouse's death.

There's a version of Rational Romance that's been quick-and-dirty patched to 1.3, should pop up if you filter by 1.3 tag and search romance.

Yeah the pen system for livestock is almost pretty great but it needs to be abstracted a bit more I think. Something like where there's an automatic nutrition amount based off the biome and the number and type of tiles in the pen and then just treat animal hunger as a modifier to that. If it's negative (in winter, or you have a bunch of critters) you throw kibble or haygras into an animal feeder and it adds to the total. Probably increase the amount a tile can support because the current one is a bit stingy due to being reliant on actual grass object growth and boom, done. It would probably reduce the amount of CPU overhead further too since you wouldn't have to worry about tracking livestock hunger directly.

To be fair the hand talon is supposed to be more like Wolverine claws in the wrist or something, not an actual hand.

Edward Scissorhands sort of situation

I finished the game!! Managed to get through all the raids and satisfy the stellarch. Wow, some of the raids were ridiculous!

Anyway, I started a new game using the prepare carefully mod and you know, I find myself missing my starter people from my first game.

Is there any way to bring some colonists over to another game? I miss my batch of weirdos.

Edit: What kind of colonists do you design for prepare carefully? I'm having decision paralysis here.

Randomly generate till you like someone and then fix their most glaring flaws. Either that or try to recreate your favourite TV/movie characters and see how quick they murder each other.

Is that mod for children creepy or weird or is it all right? I'd quite like it just because having kids is something people do, and I would like that in the game, but I'm wary because modding is like dancing through a minefield where every mine contains some rear end in a top hat's Weird Sex Ideas.

HelloSailorSign posted:

I regularly run colonies where the idea of the colony progressing past where I go means maybe I only get a few kids to 8-9 years old before I start a new colony, as I start them at 0. It's just satisfying to think there is a permanence to that colony.

Babies and Children mod added some more stuff related to infants, including things like toys for the kids to carry around, cribs, onesies, etc. Aesthetic kids would be happy carrying around an awful quality pigskin dinosaur, most other kids would feel a little sad about it (but super stoked at their excellent quality camel hide stuffy bear).

I like to combine a children/pregnancy mod with Vanilla Books Expanded so the kids can start studying in whatever's been written about. Even normal quality books in a variety of topics means that even when the kids hit 7 years old they can be already at 6+ skill level in... anything. Everything. They get useful pretty fast at that stage.

Now, with the ability to support extramarital relations in Ideology (though I've not seen non-lover colonists have hook ups... is it a thing?) that could encourage more diverse breeding genetics than the aforementioned play through.

Ahhh that sounds cute, thank you.

Wow. Just wow.

This really is super hosed up. It's not just the "all women are at least bi, no men are bi", it's also the "men are 8 times as likely to flirt with somebody than women" and "women overwhelmingly find older men attractive, with no upper limit, while men won't find women more than 15 years older than them attractive at all".

Like what the gently caress. I didn't know the game was this horrible. I know the "no bi men" thing has been fixed, what about the age preferences?

Honestly I just use mods, I'm not really interested in how Tynan thinks people work any more.

Lockback posted:

Do Wealth-Independent at first for a while then change it later? The issue is by taking a city your wealth score shoots up but you don't have anything of the other stuff you usually would at that level. Wealth independent would be more based on time instead (which I don't like as you get later in the game but at first would fit).

Hm yeah, but the scenario 'abandoned city' starts you with hostiles already on the map. Maybe I can fiddle with that, I'll check the settings properly later. Cheers.

You'll want something like smoked meat or salted meat, I forget the exact mod name, for food preservation. Maybe get some tents too. The vanilla expanded stuff makes fishing much better and you'll want that.
