Dragongem posted:Anyone ever run into a bug where their colonist portraits at the top disappears, and the UI flickers? It's not the setting to show colonist pawns at the top, unfortunately. I thought it was a resolution error but apparently messing with the resolution didn't fix it. I can post a list of my mods later but I didn't know if anyone's run into that specific issue. Do you have any caravans that are bugged and empty on your map ? This can cause it and Save our Ship 2 seems to have a problem with GiddyUp regarding this right now. You can remove one of those and merge another caravan in the empty one to get rid of it (Use the dev tools to teleport around if needed)

A couple melee guys, ideally with shield belts (As much for friendly fire as for enemy guns) is a great tool to neutralize enemies with threatening ranged weapons. They don't even have to be good, if you don't manage to kill them you'll still tie them up ineffectually swinging rifle butts at you.

A Moose posted:I restarted the game a couple times and the colonist bar was still gone, and then tried my oldest autosave and it hadn't happened to that one yet. So I sent out my caravan, then deleted the abandoned colony, and it didn't happen again. Still no idea what happened. This bug happened to me too, it is linked to that empty caravan. You can either dev mode it away or merge another caravan into it to fix it.

I've always found wealth min-maxing tedious, so now I just use this : Combat Readiness Check It makes wealth calculations only take into account stuff directly related to combat, like guns, armor, pawns and buildings. It has a lot of settings and presets to tweak the difficulty to your liking too.

Here's my latest base, it was an experiment in designing a killbox-less base that's still defensible. There is no open path to the base itself, so the raiders will individually dig at a random bit of wall. The double wall makes it incredibly unlikely that they will ever get trough, since non-sappers will target another random bit of wall when they manage to break down the first, and there is a vanishingly small chance that that will be the inner layer that is exposed. The corner rooms that stick out are bunkers with embrasures covering all the walls, the purpose is not to shoot at incoming raiders (The outward embrasures are mostly to shoot manhunters), but to cover the walls and kill anyone digging at them, while being protected from any other angle. You can shoot at any part of the walls while being protected.

juggalo baby coffin posted:the optimized pathfinding is very noticeable with anima trees, which are always a minimum distance away from your base. my pawns are dedicated to trudging through the low movespeed swamp instead of the nice path i made for them, because its not a perfect diagonal line from chunk to chunk. even if the path is like 1 tile away from their 'ideal' route they won't move onto the path. As with everything, there is a mod for that ! This disables the "optimization" and makes the game calculate a proper path for the whole length https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2341486509 . They'll actually use roads and paths then, and I haven't seen any real performance cost on this either.

Do note that on the issue of bionics not having subparts like toes and fingers, as always, there is a mod for that : Medical System Expansion It not only adds detail to the prosthetics (And yes you can install a lone bionic toe if you want) but it has a neat module system where you can install stuff inside a prosthetic, an arm blade will be a module instead of a specialized prosthetic for example , so you can add it to your swish arcotech arm.

The CE system is still an abstraction, just a different one. My issue with %to hit systems with projectiles is the you have to have the projectile end up somewhere when you miss. And that means you either discard them completely like in XCOM or you end up with the exact same trajectory based system you were trying to avoid, just an half assed one.

Same RNG elements are still modeled, just differently, they just apply as a deviation from the aimpoint. It doesn't rip out any of the RNG itself, it just represents it differently. I personally like the approach not because it's 'realistic' or whatever but because the results are more intuitive, especially when you add modifiers. Percent to hit based systems are really vulnerable to various modifiers interacting with each other, the math seems intuitive but it really isn't. Trajectory systems stack modifiers in a more linear way, if both systems were designed perfectly it would have the exact same result but on things like Rimworld that are heavilly modified by independent users and will end up stacking in unforeseen ways it tends to go off the rails.

Kestral posted:What's the state of bionic / prosthetic mods these days? I'm increasingly annoyed that I have to take someone's whole leg off to fix their missing toe, but I recall from 1.3 that a lot of the bionics mods were varying degrees of balance-busting. I very much like Medical System Expansion 2 for this. It's not a full bionics mods, it doesn't really add anything by itself but it reworks the vanilla system so prosthetic parts have subparts, an replacement arm will have a hand, and that hand will have fingers, and so you can give someone just a bionic finger for example. It works with both EPOE version and Rah's among other things if you want to, but you don't have to. Also has a neat module system, so you can have your shiny Archotech arm and jam a hand talon or something into it without having to revert the whole arm to an inferior model.

Kestral posted:“Prosthesis parts can be damaged, and will need to be replaced when destroyed” It still heals, it's only destroyed if the limb is completely blown off, the only difference from vanilla is that you can actually lose a finger off your cyber arm instead of the whole arm at once.

Most of the famously toxic Minecraft modding scene issues were exactly because of monetization, there was so much drama around modpacks simply because of the literal pennies the creators were getting by putting downloads behind adfly links. Or just take a look at Roblox if you want to see the hellscape that built-in monetization actually is. Modding is a hobby, treat it as such.

Scythers don't really have all that much armor in CE, rockets are for Centipedes and the like that you can't really touch with small arms, Scythers are too numerous and too fast for that. Full caliber rifle fire will deal with them just fine, the manned MG emplacements are quite good at it but even just some semi auto rifles will do it ok if you have some numbers. But if you really only have the starter bolt action you are kinda screwed, there is a grace period on the mechs but you do need some real guns when it expires.

mega dy posted:I think the ease at which I was handling tribal raiders really made me overconfident in my defenses. Yeah shotguns are basically the ideal weapon for tribal raids but they don't deal with armor, at all, so it's not something you should rely on for everyone. Slugs don't really help, it's just a big lump of lead it doesn't really have any significant armor piercing properties. EMP 12 gauges are a decent adjuct weapon for mech since they'll do the short stun effect and also do some electrical burn damage, you usually won't kill them with just those but mixing one in there is often a good idea, since the split second they are stunned is actually fairly critical to take down the ranged ones at close range, if they shoot before you can put them down you will not have enough armor to stand up to it early on and they won't miss up close. And yeah melee is harder to get TO in CE since the guns are pretty lethal, but if you can make it there melee skill matters a whole lot and a skilled melee combatant will rip and tear through your gun line while the other guys often can't shoot due to friendly fire concerns. Carry a spare melee weapon. edit : Also I can recommend https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2590848610&searchtext=combat+extended+aimbot it makes your lil dudes automatically change to faster aim types if they are likely to hit, it makes combat go smoother without having to micro that poo poo, and it's really fun to watch the whole squad dump their whole Garand mags in a second and a half into some poor fucks who got ambushed at close range.

CE compatibility issues are sorta overblown, it's hard to find a mod of any real quality that needs patching that doesn't already have a compatibility layer integrated into CE. The list is extensive https://github.com/CombatExtended-Continued/CombatExtended/tree/Development/Patches. To me the main reason I like it is the armor system, the default Rimworld probability based setup works alright with a vanilla game but it's also pretty much tapped out in terms of diversity by the fairly small assortment of stuff in the base game, you can't really build anything more onto it without hitting issues where the formula sorta breaks and the dynamic range between no and max armor isn't all that big but yet pretty binary. The go-no go style of armor of CE is rather unforgiving the first couple games of it until you understand what you need in terms of weapons for various threat levels but the design space is a lot larger and more diverse. The whole real trajectory shooting is more 'correct' and it gets dumb things happening less often than the base game system but it's sorta less impactful overall.

Corn is not usually year 1 stuff but once you have a buffer established it's just so much more manpower-efficient that it's very much worth the risk, as long as you have a backup plan. Manpower pretty much always ends up the limiting factor in my colonies and there isn't much that is as big of a win on pawn productivity than switching to corn.
