Have you tried assigning them nicknames? They should take priority over the regular names at the top.

Vengarr posted:Is there a way to make colonists carry around Go-Juice or Wakeup for strategic purposes? Go-Juice especially is something you only need to take in emergencies, so it makes no sense to set it on a schedule. The Smart Medicine mod allows you to assign stock up settings to pawns so they'll keep medicine/drugs on hand. Very handy for making sure your doctors have the medicine when going out on caravans too.

TorakFade posted:Holy moly. Why can't I ever design a base this good-looking? I always get a mishmash of different materials, room sizes etc starting out, and I never have the time/resources/willingness to just tear down and rebuild in a proper way, so I end up having a horrible looking and horribly unoptimized Frankenbase with some bedrooms (the early ones) that are barely livable and some (the later ones) that are extremely luxurious, a tiny dining room, sandbags all over the place, pawns having to walk 5 miles to get a beer and so on That's why it's good to use the planning tool to carefully map out your base before you start building! The mod for more planning colors helps a ton too. The replace stuff mod is also super handy so I can throw down wooden walls early and upgrade them to stone later without making it a massive pain in the rear end.

It's a combination of things, your lower difficulty setting, as well as using Cassandra as your storyteller since she's more 'chill'. Eventually she's gonna ramp up to crazy waves but it'll be a while. Switch to Randy and you'll probably enjoy more immediate threats.

jokes posted:Ranching is absurdly difficult to maintain just for a replenishable source of meat/animal products for making fine meals and lavish meals. Ranching is okay if you have a big enclosure for them to roam/forage and the mod that automates population management.Most animals do suck in terms of work hours required though, especially if you have to churn out kibble for winter feeding. It seems like most modded animals tend to be wildly overpowered as well, though perhaps that's somewhat relative to the anemic base game.

For the most part I'm okay with vanilla stack sizes, since it's also a mechanic that encourages you to keep expanding your base and develop. It's the stuff that doesn't stack that annoys the hell out of me, particularly weapons and clothing. If I can carry ten meals in a stack I ought to be able to do the same with shirts.

If you place beds or sleeping spots while out on caravan that'll clear previous sleeping arrangements but they ought to prioritize their shared bed when they get back. Maybe you have some mod using/interfering with beds somewhere?

robotsinmyhead posted:I love those wall-mounted lights, but holy poo poo they're straight up cheating. 10W for a huge 100% illumination area, you can do indoor farming/hydroponics for like a tenth of the power. The values on those lights are configurable through the mod settings menu if you're concerned about the balance. And UV lights for indoor grow ops is technically a different mod and uses much more power than 10w (and is similarly configurable).

deep dish peat moss posted:Can anyone recommend a mod for adding additional power generation options that aren't overpowered but also aren't super complicated to use? There's a mod called "advanced powergeneration" that's pretty simple, research advanced tech variants and then build them for double the power in the same footprint. Costs advanced components in addition to regular materials so they're not really spammable, and the fanciest thing is a nuclear generator for 20k power (and also needs a whole bunch of plasteel and uranium so you're probably going to need a bunch of trade runs to collect everything). Seems relatively balanced without requiring learning new mechanics and designing your base around it.

Manhunter packs are the best raid type event I got the point where I set up a couple bills for butchering, one to carve up small carcasses right away (rabbits, squirrels, etc.), and one to leave the big ones alone until I'm low on meat because it's more space efficient.

Vengarr posted:Taking 30 seconds to download a mod and never having to worry about keeping your animals out of your hooch/drugs again is definitely the better choice. Using animal zones requires rezoning any time you create a new stockpile for chems/meals/alchohol. It also requires you to manually add new animals to it. It’s not worth the hassle unless you’re ranching and have a huge herd to manage. You can move muffalo from field to field pretty efficiently that way. 30 seconds to download a mod, and 30 seconds to load the additional mod every time you launch the game in the future. I feel like animal zones are still kind of necessary to deal with toxic fallout events, at which point you might as well continue to use zoning to manage your animals since you already have the zone configured and assigned. If you're using the colony manager mod you can set it up to automatically assign new animals to the appropriate zones as you go along anyways.

Danaru posted:Yeah it's easy, but your animals still cant haul food and will happily eat lavish meals and drugs in other stockpiles, like how a lot of people keep food and booze in common areas. This is only an issue if you're relying on animals for hauling, which I found far less necessary after getting the mod to let pawns grab multiple items for hauling runs. Instead I now have mainly caravan animals that I keep outside where they won't track dirt everywhere. I think one of my mods also lets me set dietary restrictions on animals? I haven't actually played around with it since I want to keep it flexible to avoid starvation while out on caravan, but that'd also solve the 'animals are getting into the lavish meals' issue. Maybe I'm confusing it with setting dietary restrictions on prisoners though.

I find permanent winter probably the easiest to play, just rush a room around a geyser and that'll keep you from freezing overnight. After that go hunting, turn the skins into parkas, and stuff a shed full of meat with free refrigeration. Farming is easy enough, build walls around some dirt and heat the room to growing temp along with a sunlamp. Downside is that wood will get scarce since you can't grow trees indoors, so you may need to rely on trading for it later. Temperature management for the base is so much easier though, just throw down heaters as necessary and no need for vents/cooling. Once everyone has parkas you're generally safe from any temperature events, sometimes you get a mood debuff or work speed penalty but nothing permanent.

jokes posted:Has anyone met success going to an enemy encampment and trying to enslave a bunch of pawns? I sure would like to enslave some of these nerds and get real big. It's possible but with caveats. You need to build a prison on the map to capture them once they're downed (unless you get a mod to simplify that), and you might need a med team on site to keep them from dying before getting home. Plus your overland speed is going to tank with a bunch of wounded prisoners so stock up on a lot of extra rations. If you're using mods for more non-lethal weapons it will likely be much easier.

They're meant to fill the "turtling in a mountain isn't completely safe" niche, I think being melee-oriented just incidentally helps with that role (dig through walls and bust down doors faster).

robotsinmyhead posted:Some sort of zone restriction going on? Nah, zone restrictions would give you an error when you try to manually force them to mine. My guess is there's interference from another mod, either one that's splitting deep drilling into its own work category or maybe that one mod that restricts mining to your highest skill miners.

AG3 posted:I have the opposite problem where certain pawns will use the drill constantly, ignoring all their needs and until they get close to mentally breaking or starving. Only some of the pawns do this though, and I can't find anything about those in particular that would cause it. It started after I installed a good number of mods to change stuff up a bit, the major ones being Hospitality and Rimworld of Magic. Turn on your error log? I ran into something similar with the packed meat mod, it broke the object search tree so they couldn't 'see' meals as a result.

frogge posted:I just reinstalled this over the past weekend and played like mad so now I'm in a good spot where I think it's actually possibly to build a ship or hike all the way to the free one. Which is better- hiking there or building the ship? Kinda varies according to the location/distance and your current settlement/pawns, really. Like my current game has the ship in the arctic on the far side of a bay so I'd have to trek through tundra if I wanted to hike it. There's also the option of resettling closer and launching everyone for the last leg instead of caravanning all the way.

I installed the Pokemon mod then uninstalled it because the fuckers would 'help' with construction and there wasn't an obvious way to stop that (no work restriction menu since they're classified as animals). At least orbital traders take awful/poor furniture. Also switched to using Deep Storage and it's just miles ahead of Extended Storage, everyone should make the switch if they're still on ES.

Unfinish3d posted:That's what I was trying to do, but trying to use any mortar other than the first one that was installed just always gave me the "no unreserved shells" message no matter what I did. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the mortars, allowing/unallowing ammo types, putting the shells in different stockpiles/on different shelves, but I could only ever use one mortar. It was weird, I should fire up that save file and see if that's still the case Maybe a dumb question, but were your mortar shells zoned appropriately for your mortar dudes to access? 90% of the time when there's an issue with pawns not doing something I can figure out why by selecting the pawn and right clicking the object to see what the error shown is (and if there's no error it's probably a work priorities issue).
