My prison complex is a big ol tomb full of cryptosleep caskets filled with anaesthetised (but otherwise perfectly healthy) prisoners. It's a heck of a lot more humane than the other options I've seen in this thread.  Besides being my primary source of recruits, pirate raiders actually were what turned got me to turn a solo fortress into a team effort after being attacked by the same teenage pawn multiple times after letting them go after the bruises healed up. I figured that had to be a sign this pawn wanted to get out of a life of space-crime and do something good.

I don't have the heart to sell them. I'm focussing on building the ship, so before my pawns blast off, I'll have one of them open up one of the containers so that the first captive is left to pick up the pieces. (Alternatively, I could dev-mode-recruit all sixteen captives and actually play out them inheriting enough guns and food to start migrating to the other side of the continent and get to the spaceship there. Hmmm...) Anticheese fucked around with this message at 04:05 on Jan 27, 2018 |

I have finally built my first ship in Rimworld and escaped with this group of six colonists I cared so much about, one of whom is pretty much all advanced-cyber'ed up, and the others having picked up some replacement parts between raids. A few prisoners were strategically left behind to force-recruit and claim at a later date  Re: crabs, I had exponential chickens in an earlier stage of the colony. The space efficiency/nutrition value of eggs is incredible (one egg being functionally equivalent to five meat for the purposes of cooking or caravans), but it was not worth having literally 600 or so chickens bring my CPU to its proverbial knees when I decided to sell them off to a passing trader...And they all decided to follow them in a very small amount of space. Too many chooks.

bird food bathtub posted:If there's some actual research bonus from the inactive ship I never found it. Just disassembled them. Active ships are super useful though. Fight off a wave of critters like a poison ship, then it becomes a pre-built geothermal generator. How are live poison ships helpful with the possible exception of clearing a lot of land in jungle biomes?

Tortolia posted:I feel like solar flares would be more interesting if you could do something about them; maybe some sort of modded roof or enclosures that would shield enclosed devices from flares. Put some sort of material and research cost behind it so you can't immediately negate the event but so you can plan to implement it around the time you start to have mission critical devices that can't be interrupted (like hydroponics). 100% agreed, though I don't know if the game even can recognise roof types other than structures and mountains.

Weapon tech looked interesting, but the fact that it turns off vanilla gun turrets was a bit of a dealbreaker. Always read the comments! EPOE is basically mandatory IMO. Psychology is a good mod that gives you more flexibility with treating pawns with issues (and also frees up trait slots relating to sexuality. Pawns get a Kinsey rating instead). Fluffy's mods are almost universally small gameplay and UX enhancers that play nice with everything. RimFridge is really convenient, and you should browse the most subscribed list.

Speaking of Randychat, are there any modded storytellers/non-Randys that are any good and tuned for a typical game where you'll be living on the same base accumulating wealth (i.e. building more poo poo and generally surviving) instead of being forced offworld while being chased by hundreds of angry pirates?

StrixNebulosa posted:Huh, so there is a way to escape the planet? You don't have to just survive on it forever? I mean, it looks like a super-tough thing to do, but that's cool. Yeah. After a few in-game weeks, you'll get a quest popup saying "Hey go trek to the other side of this planet where there's an AI with a spaceship!" or, at the end of the tech tree, there's a bunch of spaceship building components to unlock. I have more hours than I'd care to admit in Rimworld, and I have only escaped the planet once. By the time I got around to it, I'd made a habit of healing and cryopodding my prisoners. I made sure to take one bandit out of the can before lifting off, and I like to think that they made a good new life with all the stuff that got left behind. From what I hear though, Tynan sees escaping the planet as the one true way to play, yeah.

Coolguye posted:of note: the idea of a prison spine is a funny one but one i would never even consider bothering with in one of my games. the effort of obtaining and faffing around with a spine like that - let alone running the risks of actually utilizing it - is too much for me to consider it viable. EPOE is so good it should be merged with the base game. The ability to craft bionics out of metals and components is pretty awesome.

Raids do get ridiculous after a while, but you can get away with upgraded bows and automatic weapons. Or really good melee users and clever positioning. Or holing up and letting them take from an outside stockpile.

Colonists can't even have a beer a day (assuming their mood is <50%) without needing fresh replacement livers every so often. Also, the wildlife parties hard. A squirrel self-tamed and got into my legacy outdoor storage which still had a few dozen beers in it, and essentially slipped into a coma forever once its extreme alcohol tolerance caught up with it. I'm not sure if I should try and keep party-squirrel as a good luck charm in the rec room or let it pass peacefully.

The Bay 12 forum is a terrible cesspit of in-groups and bullshit, and while Toady is doing great at making his game (one of God's own prototypes there), he's a terrible community manager who routinely deletes posts and bans people who offend cliques instead of showing examples of unacceptable behaviour and why it should be stopped. Really I'm surprised that someone was apparently publicly given the boot on that one instead of silently being unpersoned, as is the norm.

Are there any mods that add repeatable researches/a reason to keep researchers around once you've finished the tech tree? The cult mod shows that repeated research is possible, at least...

I'd say stuff should stack, but keep the one-month decay and have each successive repeat be harder and harder the bigger the stack gets. Same would go for like weapons research so you've got a better chance of making better guns, and so on for every other skill.

It also makes you a really bad person. Psychology mod lets you treat Chemical Fascination (although you might need to reapply the treatment operation if you miss their top-ups) and you can also wall up the drugs. Pawns aren't smart enough to break down walls to get to the 900 units of space cocaine I've got stored.

Questionable English aside, this looks incredibly rad and fixes my main gripes - I wanted my low-tier bots to be able to eat electricity and I thought the whole reason the thing was called tiers is because you could upgrade them. Do you have any ideas on how to get the T5 robot crash to not spawn a dead android when you have the Death Rattle mod installed? All other androids seem to be fine spawning in, like with raids and trading parties and whatnot.
