Soul can mean lots of different things to different people. Yeah, replacing body parts is a big deal. Like that RL guy who got hand transplants, then after a few months had the donor hands removed because having someone else's hands was weirding him out. The mood malus should probably reduce over time. The first year is really hard, but 5 years later your prosthetic arm is just your arm. You've figured out how to masturbate without crushing your dingus and everything is fine.

Coolguye posted:i mean moving soil is sort of the shittier and less helpful version of hydroponics in practice. soil is good or bad by virtue of where it is in the larger cycle of things, less so by virtue of what's inside of it. picking up and moving the dirt might help to get a seed to germinate but that's pretty much it. the soil would require constant outside enrichment to maintain life, which sounds an awful lot like hydroponics. Yeah, moving the soil might work for a while, but certainly not for more than a year. It's obscured because what makes soil fertile is abstracted. Like water barely exists. The highly fertile spots are often near the wet spots, so logically moving that soil to ground that is high and dry would immediately affect fertility. Being able to roof over bare soil and keep planting for years without an irrigation system is just weird. Without direct rainfall it shouldn't work at all. Water is just sort of assumed to be there and doing water stuff without anyone messing with it. Likewise, over years it should be possible to improve the fertility of marginal soil that receives sufficient rainfall. Throw all your corncobs and animal dung in a compost heap and you are manufacturing your own sweet rear end topsoil. Seriously, this stuff is garden magic. But that would involve some colonist going around sweeping all the 'animal filth' into a bucket or something. Composting just isn't something games bother putting into mechanics, not even Stardew Valley or Dwarf Fortress. Worms and rot just gets no respect. Instead we get a very abstract and simplistic version of food production, because realistic food production is not fun for most folks.

Monowhatever posted:Some mods use it, but after a certain point you getting attacked by such a large raids you might need someone on full time body burning duty Nah. Even once your corpse freezer is full there's no reason not to just leave excess corpse heaps around the edge of the map for your carnivorous and omnivorous animals to nosh on. The crematorium needs an additional carrot or stick to be really useful. Carrot: It could produce something useful as a byproduct. I think this is what most mods do? Stick: Rotting corpses could increase the chance of disease and vermin. This is more realistic. The reason we don't leave corpses or carcasses laying around IRL is because of disease and vermin. It doesn't guarantee an outbreak even in real life, but it does make it more likely and if you leave heaps of rotting corpses around your town for years eventually you're going to have a bad time. Burial and cremation are equally effective, but eventually the electricity cost of cremation beats the labour and land cost of burial. e: Of course having your buildings full of animal feces would also increase the chance of disease IRL, and this doesn't seem to be a problem in game as long as they aren't making GBS threads in the hospital. So who knows.

Coolguye posted:i'm aware of that mod but it really doesn't even cover half of the problem. it involves humans pooing and showering, but it doesn't model animal cleanliness, corpse effects, persistent soiling and stains (organic stains have real disease imports even if 'cleaned'), and more. all of that is really, really important to properly modeling hygiene and how it would handle disease spread and plague vulnerability. There are carrots to be had. Disease. Right now there is a default chance of disease outbreak every year. Maybe having great hygiene could drop that chance by 50%. Even in the jungle you're less likely to get sick if you keep clean. Terrible hygiene would make it worse. Average hygiene would keep it the same as now -- average perhaps meaning not having any high tech hygiene systems installed, but you have enough guys on cleaning duty that indoor filth doesn't hang around for weeks, and you also don't allow livestock into the food storage, eating, and sleeping areas.  Filth is valuable if it is processed correctly: -Soil fertility. Either in a low-tech compost heap/trench or a high tech reactor. Turn corpses, filth, and organic trash like spoiled food and old cotton or wool clothing into compost that can turn soil into rich soil for a year. Or it could be used to build soil floor tiles over stone or sand tiles: turn your processed filth into ideally located farms and greenhouses. That would be swell. -Electricity. Waste-to-energy incinerator that directly turns filth into electricity and/or heat. -Fuel. Let a refinery turn filth into biofuel. Basically an abstracted version of the waste-to-energy plant. Mood bonuses: -Most people enjoy having a wash. Having hot water is a bigger bonus. Using good soap is an additional small bonus. -Most people enjoy clean clothing. A lot of people don't mind putting on the same thing they wore yesterday, or even sleeping in their clothes and wearing the same thing every day (especially when camping or whatever) but clean clothing is nice. (The laundry facility could also be used to remove the D tag from clothing--the clothing is still old and worn, but it doesn't look/smell like somebody died in it anymore.) -The toilet could be a joy item.  Taking a poo poo in a place that doesn't smell like poo poo may be the best part of your day.

Wild boars will definitely eat corpses. I've got a corpse freezer full of wild boar piglets that happily munch nothing but human corpses all day. Are domestic pigs different from wild boars?

I wouldn't be surprised if that child abuse/prostitute background was written by a woman. That's a totally cliche tragic background for women roleplayers to choose. Seriously, "former prostitute" comes up ridiculously often in roleplaying games. Right up there with "orphan raised in the streets" and "family murdered by [bad guys] and out for revenge". RPers love those tragic cliches.

Pharnakes posted:That requires a psycho/bloodthirsty to do the work though, and might result in a colony wide mood debuff for butchering? I can't remember now, been a while since I tried that. If you just let them be eaten raw it gives no mood penalty, even for fellow colonists, although it is far less nutrition efficient you are right. Daru was already putting human meat in the prisoner nutrient paste dispenser so the mood penalty was accounted for. It's just a matter of what to do with the meat. "We butchered humanlike" is a -6 debuff that lasts 6 days and doesn't stack. Your colonists are equally dismayed by butchering one guy as butchering 20. So it makes sense to do the butchering in big batches when people are pretty happy. "I butchered humanlike" is an additional -6 debuff that stacks up to -20 on top of the "we" debuff, for a total of -26 for 6 days. Pretty bad. Unless you have a psycho, bloodthirsty or cannibal to do the butchering: Getting one of those 3 is pretty easy, cannibals are cool and good since they have no other bad side effects. Butchering also produces weirdly valuable human leather, and if you make the mistake of letting them make clothes out of it most colonists will also get a mood penalty for wearing human leather. But you can avoid that by not allowing it for crafting and just selling it instead. Nobody wants the clothes a corpse died in but all factions are happy to buy the skins.  The other options for corpse disposal also have problems. You can keep the corpses in a dedicated corpse freezer for canines/pigs to munch directly, but any colonist that sees them will get a -3 to -9 mood debuff (only lasts .25 of a day though). You can leave them rotting in the sun but that is a whopping -7 penalty that stacks up to -20 each time they are seen (but again only for .25 of a day each time). Or you could bury them, I suppose, but eventually that adds up to a lot of good land permanently dedicated to corpse containment.

A Moose posted:Is there any situation where batteries are actually necessary once you have a couple geothermal generators and a lifetime supply of chemfuel? It seems like the only thing that would take out my power are solar flares and batteries don't even help for that. Ehhh. Geothermal tends to not be all clustered together nicely. So a fire or explosion can take out sections of conduit and leave parts of your network orphaned. In that case having a few batteries will give you buffer time to rebuild or at least turn off unnecessary things before your freezers start failing. There are also various things that can take out one of your geothermal plants forcing you to rebuild. If this happens to happen when you are low on components or during a rino manhunter herd event you may be in for a bad time.

For underground areas you can also set up fire traps in advance (not necessarily incendiary traps). Some power conduit or wooden floors, wooden walls, wooden furniture, carpets, etc., and then you kick it off with a guy with Molotovs or an incendiary launcher. - They will try to dig their way out when the temperature gets dangerous. You can try to get your guys around to where they'll have a good field of fire wherever the bugs bust out. The bugs will run through fire to escape the heat, so hopefully the burns and heatstroke will soften them up a bit even if it doesn't kill them. Keep an eye on downed bugs though, they can be downed due to heatstroke damage and get up at full strength as soon as that wears off. - Doors are weird. An open door still preserves the space as a discrete room and slows down the speed of heat transfer. So if you are planning on using heatstroke as a weapon in can be handy to have stone doors locked open to preserve room integrity if the functional doors are broken down or burned. Otherwise if the bugs batter down an outside door the room instantly becomes part of "outside" and the temperature drops to the outside temp. If you later want a super-heated area to become part of Outside so it cools down fast just disassemble or destroy the open door. - The fire will get out of hand sometimes, especially if you have all wood/carpet floors. You can try to set up firebreaks where you have nothing flammable for at least 5 spaces so sparks can't spread, but if the air gets hot enough underground it will start things in the next room on fire. So, uh, when you rebuild after accidentally burning a whole wing of the place, rebuild with stone furniture to make future cleanups easier. This really sucks when it takes out your hydroponics or workshops. It may be worthwhile in an undermountain fort have each sunlamp in it's own discrete stone-walled room if you have several of them -- it's more effort to set up than a single large farm room, but reduces the chance that all your crops will be infested by bugs and/or destroyed by fire. - Fire and super-heated air may or may not also take out the bodies, hives and piles of insect jelly. So the fire takes care of your insect problem but you lose the meager rewards.

Infestations won't spawn in rooms -17 C or colder, so you can try going with ice instead of fire. This means everyone has to live in parkas to sleep in their icy rooms, which isn't great. And obviously plants can't survive at that temperature, so either you don't have any hydroponics undermountain, or the bugs will spawn there every time if that is the only room warm enough to spawn in.

Internet Explorer posted:
Yeah, I just zone them where I want them to go. They are good against insects since insects melee and then hang around, so a downed boomalope that booms 4 hours later is still likely to be in range to do damage. Plus boomalopes can go undermountain where mortars can't fire. The only tricky part is where you keep them when you aren't using them as walking mortars. One time I didn't notice I'd run out of hay until the boomalopes started spontaneously exploding from starvation. Oops. Now I like to have a stone barn with individual 'stalls' to prevent chain reactions when things go wrong.  This one has the beds 7 tiles apart. 5 seems to be enough to prevent them from igniting the guy across the way if you're short on space. Just don't give the barn wooden floors or use it to store anything flammable (including hay/kibble) in the possible explosion zone. If you wind up with way too many boomalopes it's better to sell them than try to kill the extras, but if you are desperate for food and need to kill a few, having a good shooter stand in the bed opposite a sleeping boomalope and shoot it will often succeed without injury or fire (occasionally the boomalope will be injured without being downed, and start running around while bleeding to death which can be bad). Oh, and on the plus side predators don't attack boomalopes, you can include areas outside the walls for grazing if need be. Though doing that means your workers need to go farther to milk and haul the chemfuel. Everything is a trade off.

Nosfereefer posted:re: barns, is there any real reason not to keep all my muffaloes cooped up together with hay? For muffalos you don't really need to do anything specific, no. They don't even need a barn except as a hedge against toxic fallout and to slow down the deterioration of the hay. They don't need shelter. They also don't need access to fresh air or sunlight. You can restrict them to a room deep under the mountain with a pile of hay and they'll be fine. Or let them wander all the grazeable territory freely and they'll also be fine, except for the occasional predator. Chickens (and maybe other domesticated animals like cows and pigs?) need a barn or coop with minimal climate control to protect them from extreme weather. Otherwise they start dropping during cold snaps and heat waves and it becomes extra work to deal with them. Boomalopes need a barn specifically due to the danger presented by sick or injured boomalopes. If a boomalope is downed some idiot will go grab it and take it to the nearest animal bed for treatment -- which can real bad if your only animal sleeping spots are crowded together in your chicken coop or barn where a detonating boomalope can take out half your livestock. Aesthetically a barn is going to be ugly no matter what you do, because animals keep pooping in there. And birthing. And vomiting. Statues can only do so much to mitigate every square covered in filth. Pasturing them in a meadow means no filth to clean up. Keeping them cooped up makes it easier to milk and shear them though. I think a dirt floor doesn't show filth, so if you don't have a top notch cleaning crew a dirt floor may end up less ugly than a filthy stone or wood floor.
