I mean the shame cupboard does normally have a vent on it, it's just normally back into the owner's room

For reference though you don't need to make shame cupboards in private bedrooms, just link the shitter to the bed and it'll only be used by the occupant, and couples don't mind watching each other poo poo.

(the one on the right does need a sink though otherwise that person's gonna get sick a lot)

huh thats good to know, thank you! and yeah that room used to have a sink but the occupant smashed it off in a fit of rage one time and I forgot to replace it. i have a shower block with a hot tub in it that seems to keep everyone pretty clean but i should fit sinks anyway.

i have the vents between rooms to try and split the heat loss from bedroom door openings, cause it gets extremely cold in the tundra.

I am curious why you have two large radiators and a space heater though. Even with very inefficient insulation (which you have there with the freestanding buildings) you should probably only need a small radiator. I heat my whole base with like four large ones positioned in the main spaces.

If you're looking to keep warm then insulation is really important, you want to minimise exterior wall and door contact with the outside and double wall your buildings against the outside where possible.

You can also grab the dubs skylights mod if you want as they create a greenhouse effect if you enclose the space you install them in. Good for lighting and heating that way.

i think i hosed up the boiler or something because the rooms were still getting cold

Why is there what appears to be an unsealed bloody sausage casing sleeping peacefully in the top middle?

Also, what is the mechanical nightmare in the room across the hall and down one?

the sausage is a cthonian larva. i got it and it's brother when i threw a prisoner into a mysterious screaming sinkhole that opened up. a few days later the prisoner came back and pretty soon i had some bouncing baby larvae.

the mechanical nightmare is a mechanoid/insectoid hybrid i made with Genetic Rim. he's friendly, he has twin blaster cannons, and every month or so he poops out some components. he cost a lot of resources to create but he's very helpful.

The sausage is a baby cthonian I think.

Personally I'm more curious why you've got teratogenic originators roaming the hallways. They're useful as hell to be sure, but I wouldn't let them just wander around, it's not like they eat more than once a month.

i've been too lazy to set up a dedicated animal area, and I feel like it sets the guests at ease to know we have complimentary totally-normal spare limbs on hand in case they suffer an accident during their stay.

here's claw canyon as a whole, it's a hosed up layout cause i didn't plan it out properly, i built it into a mountain and made more rooms as i was going based on the available space:

the big building on the left is the start of my atomic power project

the southern side with all the turrets wasn't as impregnable as i thought, multiple hordes of tribals attacked and i had to use my guys to take care of sappers, so the turrets got really hosed up:

it did provide a fresh batch of new human sacrifices though. i've had them make offerings to nyarlethotep recently, he has a spell that makes your guy who does the sacrifice a psychopath, and if they're already a psychopath they become a cannibal.

i got a bunch of mixed successes though, which brought a blight on my crops and rotted away my food stores. luckily enough sacrifices went right for me to be able to use a new food source

you can see my horrible monsters being helpful hauling stuff around for me :3

good news for pawnmorpher fans, a couple of developments coming down the pipeline. there's an upcoming vanilla expanded insectoids mod that includes a bunch of extensive genetics poo poo that will tie in to pawnmorpher-style insect people, AND i'm currently working with someone on an alpha animals pawnmorpher submod.

there are like 70+ animals in alpha animals so not all of them will make it in to the first version, so i wanted to ask if you guys had any particular favourite alpha animals you'd want to turn a colonist into.

done already are:

aerofleet
animus vox
aves (various)
fission mouse
helixien
nightling
ripper hound
slurrypede
swarmling

actively in progress are:

ocular jelly
groundrunner
decay drake
raptor shrimp
razorjack

i don't know what animals in alpha animals are community faves though so it is hard to pick out which to prioritise that aren't my personal faves

here are some previews of morphs i've made:

if some poo poo looks blurry or lovely its because i assembled these by hand using the different body parts and the parts i drew, some of which were different sized images. in-game they will look a lot better. a couple have greyscale skin tones because in-game those areas will be tinted by the game, i manually coloured the slug and the swarmling in photoshop to get an idea of how the finished thing will look.

my alpha animals/pawnmorpher crossover mod is going pretty well. I have art for about 1/5th of the alpha animals (15 out of ~65) and i've got 5 of those working properly in the game. the helixienmorph makes corpses decay, the swarmlingmorph gives the swarmling implantation disease to enemies who get hit by the ovipositors, the feralisk makes synthread etc. i'm running up against some more complicated morphs now with a shitload more parts which are gonna need some really annoying xml work to get right.

speaking of which, here's the raptor shrimp morph:

I want to do a fallout-themed run of the game, and I've found a bunch of mods that add things that'd help that, like vault furniture and securitrons and such. Is there anything I can grab that'd basically edit my start to have a rudimentary vault already on the map? Crash landing and building a vault or whatever seems backwards.

there's a fallout megamod in development right now that im doing some art for, and separately a guy is making a kind of 'toxic wasteland' biome

Mzbundifund posted:

That mod really forces you to micro around it. There's like 20 different mutation triggers from mutagenic meteors, mutagenic drop pods, five or six different kinds of mutagenic weapons which are used by raiders, mutating diseases that hit you at random, mutating weather conditions, etc. One of the worst is the several kinds of mutagenic foods that start enabled by default in your food restrictions, and which also count as drugs and need to be manually disabled in both the food AND drug policies before your colonists will leave them alone. Since these count as drugs raiders will sometimes be addicted to them and like all addicted pawns will spawn with 4-5 units of the stuff in their inventories. Once you shoot the raiders they will drop the stuff and since your colonists can easily whisk them away into your stockpiles without you noticing. If any of your pawns have the ascetic (prefer to eat raw food) or chemical interest (ignore drug restrictions) traits they will probably eat these and mutate themselves. I'm not sure if the mutagenic ingredients act like insect meat and keep their effects if your colonists use the things as ingredients to cook with, but if so you'll probably have to throw out entire stacks of cooked meals if they cooked something mutagenic into them.

Someone spent a lot of effort on the mod but it's really needy for player attention and not something you can install unless you really want your playthrough to focus around it.

the foods are the biggest issue. cowmorph milk and chookmorph eggs. the mutating diseases are pretty rare, and everything else tells you pretty clearly when something 'mutagenic' is going on. i've not had too much trouble with pawnmorpher-enabled runs that aren't themed around pawnmorpher, i don't think raiders get the mutagenic weapons any more, and there's no morph raider faction at the moment.

yeah this is fairly manageable except for wound tend time, having the time to stop bleeding increased 500% was just too much for me. this is a pretty good alternative:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2555271662&searchtext=blind

so, with level 6 psilink it's a very significant buff but it takes tribals around a year to produce that, no idea about royals. still Very Hard overall but more manageable.

hell yeah, thanks! this is what i thought blind psysense meant, psychic vision for blind psychics. but i guess it just means better psychic sensitivity for blind people like Coolguye says.

in other questions, how do you actually do raids and take slaves? i havent played too much with the world map. i want to make a powerful race of subterranean cannibal slavers, but so far my blind guys have just been bumping into each other then failing to stab or shoot deranged hares before at least 3 of them are downed.

man i am really bad at planning a scalable cave base, it always turns into a world of awful poo poo. I have a base of blind cannibal tunnelers who are actually doing pretty well, but the base is a huge mess. it's very difficult to predict where you can grow the nutrifungus because it needs overhead mountain, but random points in the cave have 'thin rock roof' instead, and you can't tell until you dig it out.

is there an insect you can ranch? i have alpha animals installed, which adds a lot of non-insectoid bug type guys, but i don't think there's a way to pick which animals you start with. also, does anyone have any top tips for keeping meat as a tribal group? it's difficult to get it all made into pemmican fast enough, and idk if it's just perception but the pemmican seems to get eaten up a lot faster than regular food.

really i just want to play as the evil cave guys from bone tomahawk or the descent. it's a shame there's no body paint beyond tattoos, so i cant have all my guys paint themselves deathly white.

it's all just transparent PNG files, they are not limited to black only so you could definitely make one in white:

they just overlay the base pawn graphic, it's not hard to figure out.

i did a bunch of assets for the alpha animals integration with the pawnmorpher mod and it was a nightmare to line them up right cause it used a weird coordinate system in the files. but i dont think there was a tattoo system back then in the base game so maybe it is easier now

BattleMaster posted:

When I make a colonist use the styling table, even though I never regendered any of the hair styles, ALL of the acceptable hairstyles for my ideoligion show up as options. So like I can give big floofy twintails to men even though I never set it to anything other than for women. So for that part at least, build a styling table and send everyone to it.

its weird because i set all the hairstyles to unisex in the ideoligion creator, but then when i went to the styling table the male pawns only had the bald option, and a VFE medieval option i hadn't selected. idk if its just hosed up because the hairstyles were from a mod.

idk why poo poo is gendered in the game to begin with, its more effort for negligible gain and it doesnt make sense for a far future setting

rimatomics is very cool. i normally run with dubs hygiene, rimatomics, and rimefeller (as in oil, not analingus), but in my current run i'm trying out the vanilla expanded power stuff. its definitely a lot more simplified than any of the dubs mods, but i like the helixien gas stuff being kind of an alternate, non-electrical powersource for a lot of stuff.

i downloaded the call of cthulhu elder things race mod, and re-enabled the call of cthulhu cults mod. the elder things are very neat but they don't layer right with their furniture so they just appear under the beds and stuff. the cults mod was always clearly what ideology was taken from, and the two mesh together kind of weirdly.

also, where the hell am i meant to get plasteel? ive not found any deposits of it at all

Pawnmorpher is neat but what I'd really like to see is that system/UI for something more exciting than animal mutations, like the ones from Evolved Organs Redux or something.

The mutagenic rocket launcher is stupidly OP also. One shot and a massive cluster of raiders are now suddenly various animals.

I tamed one and reverted her back to human but she's a cannibal raider and just doesn't fit in (and wasn't converting) so thanks to this unstable genome I found she's transformed instead into a kaiju sized Chaothrumbo and now I've just got to figure out which enemy settlement to drop her on

for a while i was working on the pawnmorpher alpha animals integration, because alpha animals has a lot more weird stuff taht would make exciting mutant pawns

i did a lot of art for it but i burned out because every single mutation needed offsets for where it would appear on the pawns body, and the only way to do that was trial and error launching the game 300 times in a row

i know a fair amount of assets i made are in the pawnmorpher + vanilla expanded insectoids crossover mod

i would like to get back into rimworld modding and do more art for stuff, but i cannot stand the thought of doing a hundred million more offsets
