How do I make sure my place is nice and tidy because it really doesn't seem like anyone cares to clean but they ALL get very upset that it's not clean.

Like, "I am going to punch my neighbor because my room is dusty" upset.

Dude getting out of 2,000 year old sleep:

*throws up everywhere*

*sees his friends dead and a psycho in marine armor is shooting the survivors with a shotgun*

*runs towards group of people shooting the psycho, notices one of the people, a caveman, is his son somehow (??)*

*throws up everywhere*

*hits on the married woman while they're looting their buddies' caskets/corpses*

*gets rejected, throws a tantrum*

*throws up everywhere*

Later, he gets healed up and joins the community. However nobody cleaned up his vomit and blood in his bedroom. This injustice pushed him over the edge and he gives up and leaves the community. His son the caveman is tasked with arresting him, and he decides to fight back with the knife he was holding.

Son the caveman and dad the spaceman, locked in a knife fight. Caveman son wins, but collapses on his way back to the base, and bleeds out before he could get back into bed.

Here lies Bowman, done in by his idiot caveman son. In the short time he was with my community, he touched everyone's lives. Whether it be by propositioning the married woman in front of the husband or going into an indiscriminate insult rampage after going through withdrawals.

This first year was great. I ran out of wood but I have all these meals stashed in my freezer and even have a hospital set up!

*heat wave*

No problem, I have my A/Cs set up so--

*solar flare*

Well, all my meat is spoiled and most of my dudes are in heat stroke but I managed to deconstruct a bunch of apartments and make some passive coolers for the hospital--

*raid*

gently caress man. Randy is a generous and a cruel god.

Just having the ability to retire a settlement and return to it would be great.

I'm surprised there aren't interesting victory conditions that involve conquering or something. Seems like it would be very nice to have some sort of "great evil" victory condition, or a research objective or something.

So what do I do about animals just waltzing into my place causing problems? I lost 3 yorkie puppies to a hungry grizzly bear who just walks right in and kills them. So I made a little stable thing where I keep all the kibble and put all the animal resting spots in there, but they wake up and go everywhere, including outside my walls where they get killed/eaten.

I also had about 30 wild rats take up residence in my larder. By the time I noticed they were in there, it took like 3 days to kill them all with 3 hunters.

You'd think wild animals couldn't figure out doors but whatever.

Food poisoning is a KILLER. They won't die from it, no, but they WILL move so slowly that any appreciable distance takes like a full day. And the vomit will only cause problems.

Rimworld: 2 days old and dying of chronic alcoholism

One time my Yorkshire Terrier had puppies and one of them got into the alcohol stores and drank a bunch of beer and developed alcoholism. I later sold the literal booze hound for like 90 silver but it was very sad to see the little lush go.

Start your colony near bad boys. If you want to experience basically constant combat be between three bad boy settlements.

Speaking of, does it matter what direction your enemies come from based on the direction of their settlement? Because it's loving obnoxious having to basically make a mega fort to have an semblance of consistent, reliable defense.

Honestly, that list is great. Arguably you might not want the forced slowdown mod, but.

If you're super serious about keeping things vanilla then of all those mods RimHUD and medical tabs should 100% be in the base game for sure.

No Forced Slowdown just stops the game from preventing you adjusting speed after an alert; by default it still drops the game back to normal speed when poo poo happens, you can just immediately go back to 3x instead of having to wait 20s.

I take it back, this is important and cool and good and everyone should use it.

Plague Goat reminded me of that time I sold a boomrat seconds before a bunch of my other boomrats came down with the flu. Did the sold-off boomrat(s) have the flu? Are they gonna burn their new home down? It's like schrodinger's cat.

If anyone was thinking of doing what I did, I tried to make a secondary defense room with a bunch of boomrats and boom-alopes (but those are harder to gently caress with). When/if a big raid gets through my trap-hallways, they then have to contend with their own urge to kill my farm animals, which explode when they die. It really didn't work like I thought it would, and it wasn't worth it.

My primary researcher is already at Intellectual 20 so there's no real need for another. I do like the cryosleep idea though, if for no other reason than to avoid the -3 banishment debuff on everyone else.

Don't they get cryosleep sickness when they wake up? Or just keep him on a research bench forever.

Anyways, that dude is clearly a "send out on suicide missions" candidate. It's kind of cool and fun to send a guy like that off to a major base with an incinerator and see what kind of damage he can cause. Sometimes, especially when fighting tribals who use wood walls, you can light everything on an un-quenchable fire that ends up killing the bulk of the enemies while they patrol.

I don't perform warcrimes. I kill all the people with red names who are trying to kill me. The red names hurt my colonists. The red names have bits that can fix my colonists.

This is simply them paying for the harm they have caused. Restitution. Quite literally making my colonists whole under the frontier law. Sometimes I even let them go with enough parts to theoretically survive.

I don't have much clothing. I just set my workshop to maintain a supply of 2 of each type of clothes I use in my normal uniform (set to only build them if there's no clothes >80% out there) and have the basic uniform require 60%+ condition with a dump pile of clothes for all clothes <60% or tainted somewhere else. They all end up happily clothed in usually matching clothes at high quality.

LOTS of poo poo ends up dumped in a swamp or whatever. Let mother earth reclaim that which man had stolen for his works.

The most precious treasure are the yorkies. When my yorkie had a litter (in the game) I built them a very high quality living area. The puppies never wanted for anything, but unfortunately they had a predilection for alcohol. By the time they turned 1, a good third of the litter had gone right down the bottle. And the mother just watched.

There are absolutely mods that up the number of raids, but my experience with Randy is that he is just saving up for a big one. Prepare your butthole.

Yeah Randy is the best for making you feel safe and secure and also shattering that safety/security and also making you feel safe and secure again and again and again.

I found out that people mostly/only build mountain homes. I'd like to know the proper way to build in a plain outside. I want to build a wall with 1-3 chokepoints laden with traps and junk but don't know what the pathfinding rules are.

I forgot the medieval mod was installed (no limits) but then i got raided by about 30 medieval mooks, most of which with heavy armor, shield belts, and strong weapons. I quite enjoyed using space age technology against capable knights, etc. that could definitely gently caress me up if they got through my defenses.

Then I got like a 20-day toxic fallout event which is really, really not fun. Not even interesting just tedious and lovely and hope you stashed a fuckload of wood because all the trees are gone.
