'Rescue' gives you a faction standings bonus, for factions that aren't hostile (according to the dev dude's video on the topic)

It was me, I am that person, and all of the 'getting started' tutorial type things I've found are for really old versions of Rimworld. There's a wiki though! http://rimworldwiki.com

You start with an assortment of wood and steel, and imo there is no reason not to just build three queen size wooden beds rather than make your poor survivors use the minimum quality sleeping spots. For plasteel, you will get some back from disassembling mechanoid invaders once you unlock the machinist bench and build one. Also you really, really want to build your long term farm next to your long term fridge and cooking stove. If they're spread out very much at all, whoever is cooking has to waste enormous amounts of time shuttling ingredients back and forth. You're familiar with this from DF but it's much worse in Rimworld, if there's a big distance between farm and kitchen/cold storage then you will need more than one cook stove (and operator) to keep up with feeding people, especially if some of it gets wasted due to colonists barfing it up and immediately gobbling up more (colonists all have bulemia).

In case you have not noticed, if you want to build hospital beds then you pretty much have to trade for the medicine required, the growable medicine plant does not count for the building materials.

Yeah it's a little inconsistent, the Floor group shows you a separate button for each material but Structures has material types collapsed into the buttons. Regarding cleaning, it seems totally fine if you just make everyone's Cleaning priority 2, once the big messes from digging are dealt with it just never seems to get noticeably dirty any more.

There should be an operation to stick a mechanoid brain into a colonist with brain damage. Or heck even a healthy colonist. Once you have the one you need for the ship what else do you do with them besides sell them?

duck monster posted:I kinda agree with him. Part of the fun of this game is the hosed up situations. My braindamage dude is just set to clean all day, and that in itself is kinda useful. Also he seems to actually be OK in fights for some reason so I usually stick him next to the door with a shiv and he's got retard strength or something because he manages to kill at least one dude every raid. Someone has never read Flowers for Algernon.

I tried a farming setup where I captured a whole bunch of outdoor land and walled it up in 8x8 cells, and then disassembled the walls leaving enough supports to hold the ceiling up. Well, I won't do that again because it's a giant fire hazard/Easy-Bake oven for colonists.

Sub Rosa posted:So far I've been building into mountains, and in the absence of Z-levels I'm not certain, but it seems entirely inside. Some of it is, some of it isn't - you'll sometimes uncover interior spaces hidden by mountains that is actually outside, which is sometimes pretty useful because you can farm in a highly secure little spot (e.g.). There is some tracking of mountain height, because that controls whether mortar hits will penetrate or not, but it isn't exposed to the player as far as I can tell.

It's weird, I expected tundra and desert to be way more hostile and hard to survive on than they are. While you're pressed a lot harder in tundra to do hydroponics, at least it's cold all the time and you don't have to worry about temperature differential making colonists sick (just put them in parkas and they're fine) or spoilage of food/hunting kills. For desert yeah it's hot, but it just doesn't seem threatening. I bet if Tynan implemented drinks along with food it would be quite a lot harder and more interesting. e: The worst thing about desert is lightning storms setting all your poo poo on fire. We can build geothermal power plants out of sticks and dried poop but we don't know what lightning rods are. e: game needs lightning rods Flesh Forge fucked around with this message at 06:33 on Mar 13, 2015 |

I'm looking for a simple mod that allows crafting of low tier armor, nothing powergamey. There's a bunch of mods out there that add ridiculous bullshit, I just want something basic like the Gunsmithing table mod, which is just perfect for what it is.

I'm running a cannibal colony with the "Prepare Carefully" and "Winter is Here" mods for that glorious Donner Party experience and god I am super chuffed. You have to respect a game that actually allows you options like this. All my non-cannibals are constantly spewing puke everywhere - which just makes them HUNGRIER FOR HUMAN FLESH

Heffer posted:Making your own prosthetics and high end guns seems unbalanced, but its really painful waiting for the right trade ship to come up. Is there a mod that lets you summon traders some how? There are much more moderate versions of this kind of thing: Extended Surgery and Bionics V1.7
The brain replacement requires a mechanoid ship brain, which seems pretty fair to me. Gunsmithing Table just allows crafting of up to the assault rifle and LMG (tbh these are probably all the guns you'll ever need anyway but they're not dumb poo poo like "fires bursts of explosive large-radius rockets")

Leif. posted:Can't say for sure but if it works like the power claw used to, they have to be unarmed. But that was a couple releases ago and this may well have changed. Annoyingly this means that they'll get the "hunter has no weapon equipped" message. From what I can tell using the power claw, that damage is applied when an enemy runs up to melee a gunner and they trade punches, so it's good for everyone as far as I can tell (as long as you don't need to like, hold a baby or some lame poo poo)

You can reroll the world of course (I recommend using the seed 'goon') Also I'm pretty sure you can just do something in cheat console, that's probably safer than trying to edit the savegame.

Mods that are awesome (many of these were already mentioned earlier): EdB Interface https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=5258.0 Makes the UI a lot more pleasant, with colonist selection/health bar icons at the top of the screen. Pawn Status Icons https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=9163.0 The vanilla game really ought to work like this. Adds nice-looking floating status icons for various positive/negative thoughts and statuses. IMO this is practically mandatory, it's just super. Vein Miner https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=9616.0 Click once to designate a whole vein of metal to be dug out. A teensy bit cheaty but gently caress manually designating that poo poo one line at a time. Winter Is Here!/Harsher Tundra (about to get even more interesting soon too) https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=8004.0 Ice Sheet https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=11249.0 OMFG OMFG OMFG SO COLD OMFG HOLY poo poo COLD Zombie Apocalypse https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=3635.0 Zombies have come to push in your poo poo! Prison Improvements https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=10069.0 Improve the prisons, for gently caress's sake, have some decency Can I Brew It? https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=11363.0 More recipes for booze Gunsmithing Table https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=11090.0 A workbench that lets you craft the ordinary low/mid tier guns, up to the LMG. It's a liiiiiittle bit too friendly if you're satisfied with assault rifles, which only cost 15 plasteel each to make, but otherwise just perfect. Extended Surgery and Bionics https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=7029.0 Craftable bionics, but just of the vanilla stuff. They're also quite expensive to make, unless you have vast amounts of plasteel. Plus you can transplant organic body parts onto prosthophobes if you want to. Also you can install the mechanoid brain in a person, nice to have something to do with these besides just sell them. Caveworld Flora https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=9277.0 Pretty terrain greebles you can eat. Bulk Meals https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=11155.0 Cook batches of 4 or 8 meals at a time.

Prepare Carefully is super great, if you don't enjoy spending an hour rolling interesting colonists each game start. Plus you can tinker with starting supplies, e.g. I have a low tech loadout for my cannibal team: Some wood, some metal, a great bow, some herbal medicine AND A TON OF HUMAN FLESH

Ice Fortress Z is loving riveting  I just had one of my precious colonists go nuts in the middle of a huge wave of zombies, so I had to imprison him, but a zombie broke into the prison and bit him on the arm ... I'm sorry Meadows but you know what we have to do  To the northeast, a crashed mechanoid ship part radiates telepathic hate like a malignant right wing television station, thank god I bought a handful of tinfoil hats

Tony Montana posted:Hows the new build working out? Is booze more fun or is it more of a pain still? It's a net negative but it's a fairly fun negative, it introduces sculpture story events of puking so your artists carve statues of frat boys spewing their guts  Gibbo posted:On that note, I've never messed with Long Pig before. If you jam the human cubes into a paste dispenser do they know it's human? The whole point of cannibalism is to inflict trauma on your colonists, CLEARLY SIR YOU DO NOT GET THIS. The best part is the wholly imaginary layer of subtext it adds to statue descriptions of founding members convincing prisoners to join the colony.

A little technical protip, if you've got a colony that has been running a long time and the game starts feeling really sluggish, what may be happening is that there's something hosed up with the current game data and the Unity engine is quietly handling a large number of exceptions but not crashing. You won't be shown this while playing (maybe dev mode has a way to see this but not normal mode) but when you load a game, if you get any exceptions in the console, just save the game and reload. The engine does some sort of sanity checking and on reloading you get a clean set of game data and the game runs OK.

Well eventually you'll hit a bulk trader who has a couple thousand wood but yeah, Winter Is Here/Harsher Tundra are super wonderful and well done. Also sometimes tribal dudes drop wood when killed, I'm not sure if that's vanilla or Winter is Here doing that. Winter Is Here/Harsher Tundra are just very good mods all around, the guy put a ton of work into making them stand out. Meanwhile at the tundra colony of White Meat:  aaaaaaaaa

Roadie posted:There should be a fake thermostat that gives colonists a minor happiness bonus when they fiddle with it as long as they don't actually know it's fake, like in office buildings. I'm sure this could be added but in A9 there isn't really any way to encourage colonists to go gently caress with it other than manually clicking it. Next alpha when Tynan adds the "fun seeker" system and you can tag buildings as sources of "fun" and colonists automatically go seek out fun things to gently caress around with, that could be a pretty straightforward thing to mod in.

I have the bills created and make sure the permissions include zombies and the relevant colonist skills are active. Anyone know the fix? All I have had to do is hit the "..." button and enable humanoid corpses/zombie corpses for butchering and cooking and cremating. Of course you need to unforbid the corpses after they're killed too.
