My last colony died because I thought venting the cooler into the kitchen would be a great idea. Cut to all my colonists going berserk and fighting random animals. I decided it was time to reroll when one of my best colonists decided to go berserk on a cougar and preceeded to get his head bitten off. :thatsrimworld:

Just had a mechanoid event, is it safe to deconstruct all the ancient cryosleep chambers or should I use them for something else?

Forer posted:Had a new run with cavemen, managed to get someone with a research 13 because their history was diplomat and white hat hacker. My base instinct was to save scum but ended up going with perma death on for all my colonies so far and I think I've had more fun watching my first five colonies flame out. If you want a pretty easy start I would recommend randy on base builder difficultly. The colony I'm running right now has been very successful with these settings. Although I have seen plenty of heat waves, I started with electricity so that may have made a big difference. Don't forget that you can turn off any of the events in the scenario editor if you feel heat waves are too much bullshit.

A Moose posted:Is there any way to make colonists haul the poo poo that they harvest/mine? I hate it when I have some guy out harvesting agave or steel or whatever and they just leave it all over the ground, so someone else has to walk all the way out there and grab it all Really your best bet if you have enough pawns is to just have one or two dedicated haulers so your other skilled pawns don't have to waste time hauling stuff. It can be a pain in the rear end in the early game though when you don't have enough pawns to fill that role.

I usually put my batteries next to a wall and expand the build roof zone so that they are covered or build a small utility room for them. Just make sure you wire them up with power conduits. To disable events select the start you want e.g. trible and use the scenario editor on the scenario screen; make sure you save it!

Skanky Burns posted:Where on the scenario editor is the option to disable events? I was looking the other day and couldn't find it. This should be what you are looking for:  Note you have to add the part then define what incident you want to disable like heat wave or bug infestation. e: in case its unclear you first have to check edit mode and click the add part to pull up the drop down menu.

basic hitler posted:Forgive me if this is stupid, but is there an actual benefit to screening base sites along road paths? what changes aside from the scenery? can the roads be mined for resources? Do raids and trade become more frequent? I'm willing to bet i'm an idiot who can't find patch notes but I watched Tynan unveil the feature briefly on a youtube video and either I didn't hear him explain their purpose beyond aesthetic or he didn't mention one. The travel time is faster for your caravans while in a hex with a road on it I believe and this is true for all seasons. For example if it took you 18 hours to travel a mountain hex in the winter time, with a road its something like 3 hours. I may have that mixed up but I'm pretty sure thats how it works.

EvanTH posted:I played this game a little bit but I couldn't get through any of the combat without save scumming it was kinda frustrating What helped me was turning on permadeath mode and just accepting the fact that people will die and bases will implode. When I had the ability to save scum I got a lot less enjoyment out of the game. Once you lose a couple bases you learn how to defend them a little easier. If you are looking for an easy start I recommend mountain maps they are a lot easier to wall up and defend; also the lone rich guy start gives you a charge rifle and plenty of medicine which is super powerful.

Finally got a good base going in the crash landed scenario: A very effective kill box:  There were some problems with some of my walls on other fronts but i've got them thick enough now where everyone just filters into turret death. Got a mortar T-T-Triple Kill! Mortars are great for thinning the herd before a raid starts.  Had a couple raids back to back, things didn't go well for the raiders.

I've gone through about 16 colonists so far, no colony name event. I've done the same thing to gather extra resources, but I usually abandon them after collecting some components. Do you leave yours open? I was also wondering about the friendlies events. I had two groups of friendlies show up at once when nothing was going on. I guess I will have to start digging through all the ancient walls to see if I find any ancient ruins.

Coolguye posted:this entirely depends on how hard the storytellers are hitting, unfortunately. you can have 3 mechanoids come out of a ship, or you can have 12+. it all depends on how hard you're being hit at the moment. I'm using Randy Rough right now and at the time I was having raids of pretty decent size (7 - 8 guys) mostly tribal. I had a poison ship fall right after and only one worm popped out, guess I got lucky! Speaking of getting lucky, I just opened up one of those tombs with the cryosleep chambers. Not only were there no Mechanoids when I open the coffins 4/6 pawns were still alive but downed, so being the good natured colony we are I had my dudes rescue all of them. When they came to they all decided to join up with the cause! At the same time my warden finally managed to recruit one of my long term prisoners so I got 5 new colonists all at once! It was pretty surprising considering I already had 10 pawns when I cracked open the tomb. Time to start cranking out some more assault rifles!

Coolguye posted:tribals come in much greater numbers than pirates due to their neolithic equipment, which is why i specified pirates. raids of 8 tribals are really quite small and would probably be no more than 3-4 pirates, potentially only 2. still, only one centipede out of that is a very pleasant surprise. gently caress shipfalls, seriously. Yeah, I'm getting much heavier raids now and mainly pirates these days. This was my most recent infestation (3 hives I had to deal with immediately due to them breaking my walls and destroying my potato fields):  Notice the small wall of exposed stone due to laziness, luckily I had the firepower to deal with it without injuries. I'm sure my next fallen ship is going to be a poo poo show.

Coolguye posted:if you're not using that little scrap of overhead mountain for anything, i'd encourage you to just throw some stone walls there and be done with it. it's not a significant part of your main base and i'd argue the threat of infestation that close to your home isn't worth the benefit you're reaping from it. Yeah after the infestation I mined out that wall and replaced it with a granite one. I will have to remember to wall off that little area just south of that room which is probably the overhead mountain you are talking about thanks for pointing that out. e. Can you just deroof areas of overhead mountain if you've mined out all the rock?

LLSix posted:You still need the sterile silver floors for the hospital, kitchen, and meal storage areas, right? TBH, I've never had a fort last long enough to get all 3. I really only put sterile tiles in my hospital. I don't feel like the occasional bout of food poising is really worth the investment for sterile tile in the kitchen. If you are on a warm moist weather map getting sterile tile in your hospital is a large priority as pawns are more prone to infection in the jungle biome. Seconding Mortars owning, its a good way to thin out the raiders and inflict some serious damage while the raiders are milling around waiting to start the actual raid.

Garfu posted:Did you intend to keep him around? I can't tell if you knew what you were doing or not so apologies if you knew this already but rescue = once they heal they walk off the map, capture = once they heal they're assimilated. I rescued 4 dudes from cryo caskets and all 4 of them stayed! So maybe it has to do with how wealthy your colony is because I am pretty well off at this point or maybe I was just super lucky.

Flesh Forge posted:I seriously haven't built a turret since 2015 and really dislike the elements of the game that force them, which is pretty much mechanoid centipedes, although with Simple Sidearms and painless weapon swapping maybe I should reconsider that. I've found that if you set them up a decent distance away from an ingress point they are super effective although a bit slow too fire. With my current set up I have yet to have anybody get close enough to blow up one of my turrets.

I am perfectly happy paying 30 bucks for a game I have put 100+ hours into. I do understand why someone would want to buy something like this on sale but it's not one of those super buggy early access games so I'd say it's definitely worth the asking price.

My new base is coming along nicely! I got attacked by at least 30 huskies, my mortar team took out 10 with one hit.  Not 10 minutes later I had a trade caravan and a raid happen at the same time my relationship with the faction took a hit but atleast I know my security set up works well and I got a ton of free loot!

I have been playing a Neolithic to Archotech tribal start to pass the time until the expansion comes out. I am currently in the Industrial Era and its been a lot of fun. I am especially enjoying the "Research Reinvented" mod, it make research more interesting, if you haven't tried it I highly recommend checking it out. Instead of just standing at the research desk the pawn will advance the research gain by analyzing materials, building prototypes and reverse engineering existing tech. I'll be adding it to all my future saves.

zedprime posted:I haven't played Rimworld for 5 years. I'm not averse to dropping expansion money to catch up but what I'm worried about is new game set up or UI onboarding turning into an absolute mess with new options while I get my organ harvesting legs. Is it tidy enough to jump in 100% or should I play a warm up round and buy expansions when I can recognize what they are advertising they add? New game set up is a bit different because of Ideology but its pretty easy to figure it out. I don't think much has changed with the UI itself (outside of changes from the vanilla 1.0 launch) from the expansions but I could be wrong. Biotech did add a lot of genetics options that you CAN tinker with while starting a new game but you can safely ignore that and enjoy all the new races and stuff in the world after starting a new game. e: That being said if you just want to get your bearings try to launch the vanilla game and make a quick colony and poke around in the menus before buying the DLCs.

I think there is a mod that will show you incoming raids as war parties on the map. I think its RimWar, never used it so I don't know how well it works and you would have to be looking at the map to know there was a war party approaching. Neat idea though, it also shows normal caravans so makes the world more lively.
