I just had a 17 skill doctor with bionic arms and eyes kill a guy while trying to put a pegleg on. How do I modify the surgery failure chance? Is there a mod for it? I guess it was a little too easy before but this is insane.

Beds should really be a number one priority, sleeping outside on the ground is a one way ticket to mental breaks. That said you were screwed either way, it happens. Just have to restart sometimes.

That's a hard thing to judge. I feel like I always end up planting too much. It's so easy when planting, but then the harvest comes and they have to pick it, haul it, then replant and it takes so much longer. It's all worth it though when you have a pro grower filling up fields at lightspeed while the dogs haul your space weed and space coke to your space sweatshops.

Azuth0667 posted:Can colonies be made to be self sustaining? With trade, yes. Without trade you will not be able to make medicine and could eventually run out of mineable resources like stone and steel, but crops are infinite. You can resettle somewhere else to get a new map full of resources. Good medicine absolutely requires trade though, there's no way to produce neutroamine on your own.

I wish there was a way to manage guns the same way outfits are handled. Unless that already exists and I'm just missing it. Combining that with a toggle to prevent the forbidding of dropped weapons would remove a lot of busywork.

Also, you may already know this but if you want to get rid of unfinished items and clear up the task for someone else to start over you can click on the item and hit cancel to turn it back into its ingredients.

Teikanmi posted:I'm pretty sure all of your problems are because you're not using manual priorities. Using basic check/no check is what newbies do, bruh. There's even yellow boxes to help you make sure you have your best on their main tasks. Yeah, no wonder. Nobody is hauling anything because everyone has a different job that's higher priority than hauling. You have to specialize. Not using priorities is a "monkey on a typewriter" kind of approach, stuff will get done if you wait long enough but you could do it in a fraction of the time if you just set each pawn to do one, maybe two jobs.

If you put a shooter in the tile right behind a melee user he will never hit him by accident. Only if there's a tile+ gap between them. Also, the More Vanilla Turrets mod is great. The best one isn't the rocket turret, it's the giant fuckoff chaingun turret that can mow down a basically infinite stream of raiders. I had one take down something like 6 or 7 elephants in a manhunter pack.

I knew I was going to get schooled by Zhentar, but I went for it anyway. I could swear I've seen my guys hit each other two tiles apart when shooting at a distant target, though. How do diagonals work? Would one tile count as two?

Dejawesp posted:That's a huge amount of effort for 40+ pawns. Everything is, the game just isn't meant for it right now. Basically in a settlement your size, as long as it's been around with as much wealth as it has, everything is a giant pain in the rear end. Huge raids, hard to manage, nothing works right. It will just keep getting worse because that's the way the game is designed. There is no endgame other than "leave or die".

Dejawesp posted:Oh I don't know. Most raids turn after a volley of mortars so that's cool. Well, the problem is the frequency. Once every 3-4 days is fine. I've never had a guy get cirrhosis, asthma, or lung cancer unless they had a chemical fascination. They just need a nice big fancy dining room and rec room, plus a decent bedroom and overall clean surroundings. That keeps mood from being an issue so they don't hit up the drugs until someone dies or something.

There's all kinds of good recommendations for quality of life mods and stuff, but are there any other good mods that really mix up gameplay? Preferably in some weird way like the cult mod. Like bug taming. Or mechanoid taming. Wanna make tame bug/mechanoid fighting pits. It looks like there's some magic mod but it's just focused on combat which is kind of lame.

I've never used the dev console. Could you, say, spawn a raid, infestation and mechanoids all at once? Oh, and a boomalope manhunter pack. That would be fun.

Aren't we already at the middle ground? If you want something that's not in the game you can just mod it in. The timescale stuff might be tricky but there's probably a way.

Flesh Forge posted:Surprise, many of Tynan's ideas about what makes a good game are actually really terrible. On the plus side he's exposed pretty much everything to be overridden by mods I actually kind of like needing janitors and busy work. Having my colonists be slightly dumb feels somewhat realistic, although it goes overboard sometimes. I wish "no hauling" was something that made sense even slightly, like "no hauling heavy objects". Not being willing to lift a finger to bring crops in from the field when your life literally depends on it is a bit much. Same for cleaning, maybe they do a lovely job and won't clean much but at least clean the massive blood pool up off the floor please.

Are there any mods that nerf solar flares without removing them? I found one for a shield, but I was hoping for a change to the event itself. For instance if it only shut down power generation, so you could just have batteries for your hydroponics and other critical things. Something like that.

Can colonists who are incapable of violence still go berserk? If so do they actually fight or just get mercilessly beat down by the first person they encounter? The EPOE talk reminded me of when I put an AI persona core in someone's brain and they kept having random berserk rages, I wonder if a pacifist would skip that drawback.

You don't have to order a harvest of crops, it happens automatically once they hit 100%. e: unless I'm misreading and you mean a natural field of berries or something, in which case yeah that's the way

Pathfinding in this game in general is really weird. I tried setting up a road through the jungle once and my builders kept walking the whole way out to the end through the tall grass with a fully built road one tile away the whole time. It was as if travel time wasn't even part of the algorithm, or pawns were reserving their whole path and only one person would use the road at a time.

I really like the Centralized Climate Control mod, you can set up a single HVAC system for the whole base controlled from one room. It makes freezers more efficient since it uses wall vents instead of needing to compromise your insulation with coolers, and it handles heating and cooling simultaneously for the rest. You can change connections on the fly so if you interconnect all the vents, any room in the base can become a freezer at a moment's notice or vice versa. The best part, of course, is that it looks pretty and you don't have to ruin your beautiful spergy base with unsightly coolers, heaters and vents any more.

I usually end up harvesting replacement noses from prisoners, I think EPOE lets you do it. Not ears though for some reason, maybe because you can make bionic ears. They're kind of pointless though since as far as I can tell enhanced hearing doesn't improve anything.

Time is all that matters. Ten years is a really long time. I'm at less than two years in my current save and I have 13 guys, I've probably passed up 3 or 4 recruitment events. Between slaves, captures and events it's pretty easy to get to 30 in ten years. Even if you only have a 1% chance to recruit somebody you've got a pretty good chance eventually when you can hit them up once (twice?) a day for months on end. You don't need mods to do it, and the only couple times I've reloaded were total colony wipes in the first year. It's just not as hard or inexplicable as you're making it out to be.

Coolguye posted:even your example here has so many conditionals I think it actually is But... I don't have any conditionals in there? Unless you count reloading due to total failure. I just played a normal game, I have a few mods like EPOE and cultist but if anything cultist has decreased my population due to sacrifices. I don't really pay attention to recruitment percentages so you're probably right that it's fractional, but it happens eventually. I guess cult helps my warden's social skill, so that could play into it, but the recruiting chance still sucks. In my own personal experience (most of which was 100% vanilla), my population right now is pretty normal. I like to keep it a little less than that usually because feeding everyone properly gets to be a pain. The megaforts are definitely unusual but all it takes is time. Probably the reason they make up the bulk of the screenshots is because screenshots of normal stuff are boring, so they don't get posted.

Coolguye posted:IF you get the events, IF you get the prisoners, IF they are recruitable in a practical sense, IF you get the slavers (also, slave merchants are progressively less likely to carry colonists the further over the soft cap you are), there's a hundred and one conditions in your scenario here and you don't even seem to be aware of them. a fractional percentage means you need 200+ recruit attempts to get a success and he imposed cooldown on attempts means that this will take literal years, statistically. "It happens eventually" does not jive with the numbers here, which is the point. these games are serious anomalies and it consistently surprises me that this is what gets passed around. Don't really know what to tell you I guess, other than that I'm well aware how the game works. It's been very easy in my experience once I mastered the basics and the fact that these games exist is proof that it's possible. They're outside the norm, sure, but only because they're super long running games. Have you ever tried it? e: Eltoasto posted:If i want to challenge myself a bit and move on from temperate and boreal, do you guys prefer arid shrubland or tundra? Not sure I would enjoy straight desert or ice sheet since I like to have animals. I like shrubland and rainforest maps a lot but tundra is more challenging IMO.
