Aw, I kinda liked having them separate. It really gave me more of a sense of starting up a new colony and having work your way up to a fancy outpost, even if you could technically just skip straight to metal poo poo. But this may be because I'm working at a Woodworking museum this summer and currently have a great appreciation for carpentry in general. e: Also, holy poo poo, he's been implementing sieges and they sound awesome. changelog posted:June 3:

Pornographic Memory posted:That's because survival meal packs have a higher food quality than low-quality meals. Colonists will always eat the best quality food available. Yeah, I just checked and survival meals have a quality of 'fine' and a nutritional value of 100, compared to simple meals which have the quality 'simple' and nutritional value 85. I just wish they'd take distance into account when choosing because those motherfuckers will walk from one side of the map to the other to get those extra 15 nutrition points

Danith posted:Is it possible to have a cannibal based society, or does everyone just freak out from the dead bodies? Well there are traits that make people not mind dead bodies and have a higher mental break threshold, so you could slowly and build a colony of insane jaded cannibals through strict colonist selection, yes.

Saxophone posted:So, I like roguelikes, I like colony-building type games, and I like survival type games. I like all of the types of games you've mentioned, and I've gone in on quite a few of them. They haven't all panned out. Rimworld, however, has already exceeded my expectations. A lot of Early Access games I'll try once and like the concept, but not find enough content and tell myself I'll come back when they add more features. Or just as likely, if they add more features. With this game I've found enough entertainment to play a few colonies from start to finish in each of the last few builds and each alpha has come with a whole bunch of awesome new features at a fairly regular rate. Personally I think it's completely worth the money if you think this type of game is your bag. It scratches a few specific itches really well.

) Should I pull the trigger with this game? Reading through the thread it seems fun and with the funding goal being surpassed like it was I'd imagine development is going strong. Thoughts?

God I'm so glad I backed this game, it's one of the only 'early access' games I have that I would be perfectly happy with even if development stopped now and he just keeps adding new features. I can't wait to give this version a try.

Nullkigan posted:Lockable doors and prosthetics/bionics are part of A7 by default. There's no need for extended surgery (unless you want eyepatches and hookhands) or Misc. with MAI (unless you want the other dozen features in that pack) for that basic functionality. As per the changelog: quote:Cabin fever now considers giant unroofed areas to be ‘outdoors’ even if they can’t touch the map edge (small skylights are still not sufficient). Not sure if that was A7 or the A8 branch, though.

Huszsersvn posted:What's wrong with my colony? Is it the conscription? The dehumanizing naked marches in freezing temperatures, symbolising rebirth into a more orderly society? The host of callous cyborgs whose very humanity has been literally chipped away from them, piece by piece? Any sentence from this post would be a great thread title. Your colony is deeply disturbing to me on a fundamental level. It's disturbed, somehow souless like eventually all your colonists will turn into the origin story for Mechanoids. And yet it represents the endless possibilites that this DF-like genre can create. I love this game.

Minarchist posted:I rolled 3 cannibals to RP a cannibal colony, but they weren't psychopaths so they felt bad about the actual killing/butchering, but there wasn't a penalty for eating human meat. They all got murdered by tribals who were upset over my choice of game to actively hunt. Also psychopath is one of the best traits imo, the 'downside' of not getting a social mood boost is pretty minor, but they do get pissed off about talking to abrasive people. You can use the 'prepare carefully' mod which lets you choose the background, career, traits and appearance of your colonists, and pretty much anything else, including what you crash land with. It's really handy if you want to do things like RP with the backgrounds of your colonists, or run a cannibal psychopath colony. Currently I'm running a colony that I started with a bunch of Urbworld people. Since I always like looking at pictures of people's colonies, here's mine right now.  Not pictured is the fortress I'm building into the mountain in the north. I'm pretty excited that climates are a thing now, I'm using the base-builder storyteller, which I find a lot more reasonable than the default one. Raids come every few months instead of once a week, but they're still the same size. I'm justifying it internally as nobody wanting to trek all the way out into the boonies when it's -40 outside and snowing, it lets me focus on fighting the elements instead of people. I was a bit panicked when the temperature started dipping below zero and my crops couldn't grow anymore, but I made sure to stockpile about ~50 meals so I could survive while I set up a greenhouse and found Muffalo to hunt.

neogeo0823 posted:Yeah, lesson learned. I've got 1 building on this new site with 6 beds, and it's on the other side of the map from where I am working. It looks like there's a small wiki about the game, I haven't used it personally but it looks like it has all the basics covered. http://rimworldwiki.com/ Generally when you start out you'll want to go shelter -> food -> power -> security, in that order. Preparing food so you don't eat it raw requires power, so the solar panel and paste dispenser are solid starting choices. Everything will fall apart pretty quickly if there's nothing to eat.

Now, equatorial regions have the same long days year-round, while northern areas have shallow days or varying lengths, and can even have no proper night at certain times of year. Missed this in the log, it's the little things like this which really come together to make that great, unique 'Dwarf Fortess' experience. Imagine a colony of psychopathic cannibals during a 6 month night. loving vampires, man.

I speed-clicked through every button to try a colony on tundra directly adjacent to an ice-sheet in January, just to see if it was enabled and what winter looked like, and found myself actually trying to see if it was possible to survive -40 in nothing but t-shirts. Everyone died on day three when I forgot to re-build the camp-fire in their hut.

Bridges and other constructions over deep water would be nice too. Now that I'm thinking about it, being able to build boats and go fishing would be really nice on maps bordering the ocean. Which of course opens up the possibility of sea-based raids

neogeo0823 posted:Yeah, I really like the vents. I'm looking for mods that work like that; They add a functionality or an extra mechanic, or fill in where there isn't something yet in the game. I don't need a BFG9000 to kill everything, or a superfood that grows in a day and fellates my colonists as they eat it, or what have you. I'd really like a mod, for example, that lets me research and build the various guns in the vanilla game. Or one that allows me to manually cancel a job I don't want a certain colonist to do. Things like that. I'm about 90% sure I've seen a gun crafting mod on the forums somewhere.

You should see the options of steel walls, wood walls, silver walls, and granite walls or whatever type of stone you have.

Drink Cheerwine posted:not yet The framework is certainly there though, it feels pretty organic how relationships form based on ~1 in-game season and I'm personally looking forward to running frontier towns for generations if the game can support that kind of time-scale. Not sure I'm a fan of ditching real months, since that made seasons instantly relateable and understandable, but it's a small cosmetic change and everything else I've seen is really good. The wood fired options are perfect for my standard boreal forest start.
