CapnAndy posted:I just started playing this because my computer is well past the end of its lifecycle and I needed something non-demanding and realized I'd never actually tried Rimworld even though it looked cool, and it is in fact cool! I have two questions, though: first, is there an inventory screen or something that I'm just... missing? Why is it so easy to find all my materials or animals but if I want to find clothes, weapons, armor, art, or useful items in storage, my only option is to zoom all the way in and click on stuff until I find it? And second, is there some easy way to throw away poo poo that I'm also missing? I've got a dump zone, why is there no way to just throw away ratty old clothing without playing a careful "now how do I make them throw poo poo away without throwing away the stuff I want" dance with the storage/dump zone settings? You can burn ratty old/corpse worn clothing in the campfire or smelter in the vanilla game. Also yeah those things are just harder to find, especially if you don’t split things into separate stockpiles or download mods to let you make bigger stacks of stackable stuff.

I pretty much always plop down two wind turbines, then research batteries and plop down batteries, then research solar and plop down 2-4 panels and that easily gets me through the the first few years before I need to get geothermal up. This allows you to get lights and workbenches and a freezer up way faster.

Just put the solar panels near your base. Which you’re defending anyway.

Somehow, with Psychology installed, I can’t get any of my pawns to stay in relationships and at best get like. One married couple per colony. Even with compatible sexualities. But mostly they break up when one proposes and the other rejects them.

HelloSailorSign posted:"Set Forced Trait: Gay" I like stews mostly because they allow you to feed pawns human and insect meat without penalties. Kibble can also do that, but for animals, but I tend to keep more herbivores as domestic animals than omnivores or carnivores.

Why does auto food default to bringing meals instead of pemmican or survival meals anyway. Why would I want to bring my perishable fine meals when I’ve got a stack of 50 survival meals specially for caravaning.

Kibbles n Shits posted:This information isn't visible anywhere in game that I can recall, but there's a time limit that starts after the pawn dies, and ends depending on the level of your autopsy table. It starts at a couple of hours or so and goes up from there, but I don't remember the exact numbers. The mod still lets you perform the autopsy job even if this limit is passed, you just get nothing from it. Also you aren’t guaranteed organs, with the odds going up with the research levels and medical skill.

OwlFancier posted:Unless you like hard rubberbanding on raids, yes. The other storytellers will always send something explicitly to kill you at regular intervals. I’m always stuck between using Randy and the modded Perry. Perry is Randy but with higher event and pawn joining frequency. I feel when I use Randy, my colony grows too slow, but when I use Perry, it balloons. ...I still prefer Perry Persistent generally though.

Yeah I don’t think there’s any mod that does what Psychology does? It would be nice if the original modder was still around to add new features and fix its integration with Prepare Carefully but it is maintained to be still compatible.

If you're going to add a mod like Hospitality, what's the best way to make a visitor entrance so that they don't have to path through your traps and winding tunnel? I obviously have regular closed doors by colonists go through, but friendly NPCs ignore those.

Asimo posted:As a warning, fertile fields changes the balance of maps quite a bit. You can't actually make rich soil and such outright without a lot of resources and research, but moving soil around trivializes some farm planning, especially on maps with sparse arable. Dredge up all that arable land, rebuild it in neat well-protected plots, boom. And then there's actually cheaty stuff later on like dredging out deep (ie, impassible) water moats and such to trivialize raid defense. I’m pretty sure my last Viking pillage had them carry off my sewage outlet pipe. Alright guys, you do you...

Not sure if it's something you can toggle in the mod settings but I wound up uninstalling it anyway.

I wish I could use colonist bar mods but for some reason they conflict with one of my ten million mods, leading to me getting unfulfillable quests without pawn names in them.  Like, for a noble’s upgrade, I’ll get a unselectable PAWN_NAME can become a knight quest, instead of Billy can become a knight.

Or play with Vanilla Expanded Brewing and have everyone chugging coffee and tea all the time. Pawns can get addicted to caffeine but the downsides are so minor it doesn’t really matter.

The other storytellers are designed to eventually push you off world to an end condition. Randy throws whatever at you, scaled to your wealth level without the goal of overwhelming you until you blast off to space for a reprieve.
