Rimworld

I played Prison Architect before I played Rimworld and I liked both. Rimworld takes much longer to get to the same level as competency as Prison Architect though.

Yes Rimworld is worth getting

It's pretty fun.

>>382994053
For the high price though? It wasn't on sale

Great game, definitely worth picking up. Can always pirate it first and see.

>>382994167
I played about 400 hours vanilla until I got some mods, then another 100, now I've taken a little break I guess and a new patch came out so I gotta try that a bit

>>382993943
shallow garbage game.

Entire game is based off firing off events based off a list, it's not RNG or based off the rest of the world.

You can savescum,

Save -> oh no maneaters -> reload save -> oh no a tribal invasion > reload save > oh, traders...


etc etc, literally all events fire off on a global cooldown + local cooldown for the specific event firing off.

Rimworld is in alpha, has had several developers be swapped out because the entire project is run by an Ideas guy that hires people to develop for him, he's incompetent and refuses to integrate multi-z levels because he claims the entire game would have to be redeveloped from scratch. It's a fucking alpha... That's the POINT of alphas.

>>382993943
Pirate it. I bought the game and regretted it. The vanilla gameplay is pretty boring because you have to play it extra careful otherwise you are risking your colony to die in less than a year.

>hunt too many animals
>one of them go crazy and hurt one of your colony badly
>he went into coma and have to be taken care of
>now you are left with 2 guys doing 10 men job
You are always stuck with 3 guys where you can't take a risk to lose even one of them. then once you have 5 dudes in your colony, everything become too easy.

>>382993943
Pirate it bro don't be a chuck

Yeah maybe you should pirate it, I pirated it first, put a good 100 hours in then bought it

I hop back in with each major update. Tynan is an awesome dev and Rimworld is a good game. I'd recommend it if you liked Prison Architect. If you prefer pirating, that's up to you, but I like supporting the good devs.

I will say it's kinda simple, but each update helps to expand on that. Build a base, keep your dudes alive, build up your tech and resources while defending your home base. Recent updates give you the option to travel to other areas, with an eventual end-goal of leaving the planet.

I can answer any questions if you have any.

>>382994610
>>hunt too many animals
>>one of them go crazy and hurt one of your colony badly

Would you be surprised if that actually wasn't caused by you killing "too many animals"?

It's actually one of the random events that fires off the global event list, it's "random".

>refuses to integrate multi-z levels because he claims the entire game would have to be redeveloped from scratch
Fuuuuuuuuuck, there goes that hope then. I bet his book is shit too.

I pirated it. Pretty fun. In many ways better than DF and I say it as someone who spent literal hundreds of hours with DF.
Would pay, but it's too expensive for my third world wallet.

I'm disappointed with the last update and probably won't pay my shekels even once I get more. Direction of development is very important in alpha games like this and Rimworld took the shitty overworld direction instead of fleshing out gameplay.

>>382993943
>>382994721
Prison Architect is completely unrelated to rimworld tough.

They share art direction because the chucklefuck ideas guy that the rimworld dev is, has no clue of what he is doing and completely relies on seasonal developers, i.e. his devs has a history of never coming back when the new school semesters begin, and that's why there's so much hiatus in updates. New devs have to interpret codebase everytime he hires new ones, because the old ones barely get paid and primarily are students.

I didn't think it was possible to be as bad this game as some of the people itt are.

>>382993943
Did they fix hunting from being either send someone out with a machine gun to miss 99% of his shots or micromanage someone with a shotgun to actually get stuff done?

>>382994926

I dunno, they kinda felt like a similar game but that split down two different roads. One is managing a large number of people and keeping them busy and under control, the other is managing a scaling number of people, with FUN getting throw at you and a goal of leaving the planet.

I will admit I didn't put in near as much time to Prison Architect as I did Rimworld.

>>382994926
where is the proof of this? I used to read his google docs changelogs and shit was rapid as fuck.

He asked the community if they prefer fatter updated, and they did, and he delivered. Where is this shit about seasonal developers coming from?

>>382993943
rimworld is the dungeons of dredmor of dwarf fortress

>start game
>hunt an animal
>no problems
1 year later
>hunt same animal
>entire pack suddenly manhunters

Fuck that, thats stupid
its also stupid how little damage bullets do to animals
its stupid someone with a pistol or shotgun melees when melee'd
its absolutely pants on head retarded when you are point fucking blank and missing with a pistol or shotgun
also, how your melee dudes will run in line of fire, nice

i like this game, sometimes its even fun to micro manage, but sometimes it's really not

>>382995101
it's kind of obvious, his devs all disappear end of summer everytime it has happend.

the term seasonal is the best term to describe the situation, but most of them leave voluntarily because of shit pay.

"fatter updates", literally everything that's been added past year up to the caravan part has just been lua and xml scripts that modders could have done. Only the caravan part required changes in the codebase.

So you have situation of dev being hired that's incompetent and having to hire a coder at later point, and it's hard to find someone willing that's competent, which also fits his target employee description of student status

>>382995253
where is the proof of any of this?

Rimworld is a great game and I've seen nothing but good things from Tynan. I've never heard anything about whatever you're talking about. The updates have been up to if not beyond my expectations.

>>382995196

it's RNG and unrelated to you hunting


>>382995317
people fanboy and obsess, what you're doing is called cult of personality. He's not a good guy, he's an ideas guy. Worst kind of developer there is, as he literally sits on the pile of cash and lures in people to develop for him with bad paygrade.

"where's the proof"

you don't question at all why there's been huge hiatuses and constant announcements there's a "new developer"? He doesn't hire more to the team, he has to replace them completely.

>>382995196
To my knowledge manhunter packs are just random events.
Different bullets / weapons will do varying damage, each animal has a different damage threshold.
I believe they melee because the enemy that is melee'ing them is interrupting their attack, which is based on their shooting skill. Try moving them back / around a wall to repositing for another attack.

>>382995417
He seems like a perfectly fine guy, and his ideas are fine too. I never hear announcements about new programmers, I just read the changelogs and play the game.

It sort of sounds like you're just making shit up.

>>382995508
ideas guys are cancer to industry, they contribute with nothing.

This game just stresses me out and makes me feel bad like 80% of the time. I swear like 9 times out of 10 when a hunter was bitten even once by an animal the fucker got an infection that ate 50% of my medicine stocks and since all the other settlers are inept at hunting I would be short on food and everybody gets angry. Then one fucker has a breakdown and sets everything on fire. Trying to put out fires is the most slow, tiring and nonproductive thing you can fucking attempt at this game. Seriously if you don't have a sprinkler system you might as well restart if you get a fire more than 5 tiles large.

inb4 git gud

it needs z levels
anyways just pirate it op

>>382993943
It's more like prison architect than dwarf fortress honestly.

It's a great game but it requires mods to change some obnoxious game mechanics and add more stuff.

>>382995576
z levels will never happen, becuase the "developer" doesn't develop the game and the codebase has been dicked by too many different coders to make it comprehensible to alter it that extesnively

>>382994586

Is just "Hello I'm too dumb to check out gun turrets research"

From April 6, 2016 - May 24, 2017 he / they released Alpha 13 - 17, so four updates in a year's time, each bringing significant changes and additions to the game. I'm okay with this pace. I was under the impression it was just Tynan and a small crew, like >>382995667 is saying.

>>382995621
then you might as well play dort
plus we got the magic update soon(tm)
or at least the relics aspect of it

>muh z-levels
Z-levels would require a giant redesign of the game mechanics such as combat, UI, ranged attack checks, vision checks, attacker AI, idling AI and so on.

t. someone who implemented part of a z-level system for a tile-based 2D game

>>382995774
>magic update
does this actually effect fortresses or is this just more adventure more crap?

>>382995890
when a fire breathing gobo leads his religious followers to your fort to reclaim an artifact you sent an elite squad out to find, it'll effect you

>>382993943

It's Dwarf Fortress with like 1/100th of the content and none of the depth. It's alright if you like the genre, but inferior to Dwarf Fortress. It'll get boring really fast.

>>382996029
But will the fire breathing gobo be able defeat my draw bridge or just stand there while I shoot him to death with crossbows?

>>382996059
>he thinks DF has depth and content

>>382996107
if you wait another year I believe they will dig under it

>>382995454
no you can tell them to shoot and they stand there and shoot
>>382995417
im not talking about the random event, im talking about when you shoot an animal and only then the entire pack goes ballistic. it never happens early game where as you can get manhunter packs of 2-3 early game, thats not a big deal

when its like 7 animals it is a big deal, plus your dude is right there because he just shot one, setting them off.

>>382996168
DF is too easy, at least RimWorld actually fucks you up and keeps the pressure up.

I use mods to try to make it a bit more fair against the RNG, though.

>>382996059
And it's 30 bucks
And the dev refuse to go any lower even during sales "because it's an alpha"

>>382996167

I've played plenty of both games. The only thing Rimworld has for it that DF lacks is it's much easier to learn and play due to an actual UI.

>>382996059
Rimworld is an objectively better made game than Dwarf Fortress.

>>382995560
nah i experienced the same shit. It's either you hunt or your colony die. i have tried to "have fun" in this game, i really do. However after playing for a week and creating like 8-10 colonies , i have come to conclusion the game is fucking mundanely boring.

You are stuck with limited human resources and you are fucked if you lose even one of them. You always start with farm 7x7 or bigger and have a guy with passion or at least 3-4 in shooting to hunt fucking animal.
>you can actually recruit prisoner?
>oh better have one guy keep feeding him and have his room spacious and fully furnished with dumb shit like potted plant
>oh no one of my only guy with competent skill is fucked by random event XD
>now i have to train for someone who i have to spent 10 hours of playing time to reach the same skill level

>>382996279
nice try reddit

>>382996264
DF is utterly broken once you get a basic fortress going, it's quite literally _too easy_. The only hard part about the game is the UI. Procedural generation is cool, building a bigass fortress is cool, maybe even playing with fluids is cool, but the gameplay is not good or even that deep.

I will wait till it gets out of EA
More features and mods

I didnt like tgis whole "escape the planet" objective thing tho
I just want to build a city and fuck people and wildlife up

>>382996220
people don't play df to struggle
they play to watch a forgotten beast made of gas collapse their magma forge suspended over a pool of lava as a squad of dwarves with beautifully hand encrusted armor and weapons fall to their doom
it was inevitable

>>382996342

And Rimworld is pretty much exactly the same, but you have even less tools to work with.

>>382996434
in RimWorld the enemies have advanced features like tunneling into your base, and long range artillery.

Nope.

Better siege mechanics, better objectives. Tech tree for progression. Better balanced. Better ai.

>>382996434
Except Rimworld has better gameplay.

>>382996059
pretty much this. The only pro thing rimworld that it has GUI and graphic.

In dwarf fort you have to alt-tab to dwarf therapy and pause to do simple shit like designing a mine or placing some shit. It's kinda turn me off after have to do it every single game.

>>382994907
If you've actually played 100s of hours of dorf fort, you would understand what sets it apart from imitators

Yeah it's pretty great

>>382996573

The tech tree in Rimworld is one of the worst parts of the game. You go from being savages who are using stone weapons to people using modern day guns and explosives in a single tier of upgrades.

There needs to be more filler in between these tiers. The jump is too big.

is all challenge still comes from "defend from raid attacks"?

>>382994729
You're confusing manhunter event and animal revenge event

>>382996608
Rimworld isn't a direct imitator, which exist, like Gnomes or whatever.

Rimworld does it's own thing and game sessions and short with more dynamic gameplay. It's actually a challenge and unlike DF where I can basically run a fortress forever no problem, I actually expect to lose in Rimworld.

Colony/fortress management genre doesn't have to be exact clones. We don't compare Dungeon Keeper or Evil Genius with DF.

>>382996608
>If you've actually played 100s of hours of dorf fort, you would understand what sets it apart from imitators

That it generates volumes of useless information that don't make the game any deeper than the imitators?

Yes, once you've told them to shoot they will attempt to do so once they're in range. If the weapon's warmup is interrupted, they can't shoot with it.

Jesus christ all it took is a single turret to fuck them up, or someone with sniper rifle.

The real challenge comes up when you're trying to raid assholes. But its easy to cheese armed pirates.

>>382996675
There are lots of different events, more than before. Main killers are variations on raid attacks, the alien infestation event, or the crash landed mecha pod things.

>>382996317
Anon come on, you can love DF and still acknowledge that it's the coding equivalent of using tons of duct tape and prayers until it barely works

>>382996306
That's what's fuckiest about Rimworld for me. You either have a balanced team and everything slows down to a horrible crawl or you do like any sane person and have people specialize in one thing. But if something happens to even one of your settlers, that area of your colony is pretty much fucked until you find a good prisoner feed a ton of resources to them in the hopes that they'll join the colony.

Not to mention that the AI can be so fucking stupid. This one settler got everyone killed because he decided he was a little peckish and wanted some food from the outside storeroom. He opens the front fucking door, letting six ravenous wolves in which proceeded to fuck everyone up.
Additionally I think cleaning should always be on as a low priority at least. They complain about their living quarters being dirty but never do anything about it. it's infuriating.

FUCK THE "REFUSES TO DO PHYSICAL LABOR" TRAIT. WHY IS IT SO GODDAMN COMMON AND WHO EVEN ACTS LIKE THAT IN ANY GODDAMN REALISTIC SITUATION. THE LIVES OF PEOPLE DEPEND ON YOU TO CARRY THIS FROM POINT A TO POINT B BUT YOU DECIDE YOU'RE TOO GOOD FOR THAT, HUH?

>>382996608
Rimworld isn't really an imitator of DF, it's only similar.
For one, Rimworld doesn't have no-brainer tactics that let you insta-win. DF does.

DF is fun, but it isn't really a game. It's too easy to be considered a proper game. All the difficulty comes from player's incompetence or scrubbiness.

>>382994586
>You can savescum,
Oh no, you can learn faster to play the game.. how terrible

>>382996675

In Rimworld? No. I've lost in it due to fires more than anything. Which can be almost entirely eliminated by not using batteries.

Outside of that, it'll try to fuck you up with RNG every now and then but these attempts are never that spectacular. Mostly it's animals wanting to kill your people but hardly any of them are an actual threat.

>>382996821
>Toady is a math wizard
If this was true DF would be far more optimized, perhaps even multithreaded.

Toady is just supremely autistic and stubborn.

>>382996573
df doesn't have objectives it's "open ended"
tech progression in rw is ass, you literally research how to build a spaceship in your cave with rotting off clothes

>>382993943
Ex-DF vet recently playing Rimjob here. It's like a mix of Prison Architect and Dwarf Fort, but with most of the detail of Dwarf Fort cut out and no z-levels. It's got shittonnes of mods though and, compared to modern versions of Dwarf Fort, is actually harder I feel.

nuDF is easy as shit these days and pretty impossible to lose if you're prepared. If you're unsure then just torrent Rimworld and see how you go. If you get to like 10 hours sunk into it consider buying it maybe, if anything for the access to shitloads of mods.

>>382996895
That's coding practices which are pretty much unrelated to math

Rimworld is open ended too, it just also has a clear measurable goal for players to mark their progression by. Objectively better game design.

Researching ship stuff takes like 3 upgrades, which don't take long at all.

Making decent clothing requires researching something that takes years in game to grow. You can literally research how to build an entire ship (and probably build it) before these plants grow.

Technically you can savescum in Dwarf Fort too though.

The RNG events thing is kinda it's weakest point. Things happen in DF, Prison Architect etc for a reason but in Rimworld it's literally a global cooldown timer and diceroll for the event.

For those who don't know, there are 3 character kind of difficulty presets you can choose when making a new save.

>Casandra
This bitch will gradually up the difficulty over time as you get more and more prepared

>Phoebe Chillax
She'll throw events at you like Casandra but give you long cooldowns between them so you have time to reorganize your shit, after a while though she'll hit as hard

>Randy Random
Random as fuck. You might get nothing but cargo pods for 3 years then suddenly 4 giant bandit waves at the same time as you have a solar flare and a rabid beaver attack.

>>382997117

Or your imaginary version where everyone flat out shits on DF while praising RW as this perfect game?

You don't even notice the levels of delusion you're in

>>382996969
DF is terribly written and terribly designed.
You can have fun with bad games, just don't pretend DF isn't a huge mess of placeholders, useless crap, unreadable and non-standardized UIs, unoptimized single-threaded bullshit, unbalanced combat etc.

DF with 20+ dorfs but without rapist is a giant pain, even if you've spent hundreds of hours on it.

it all doesn't matter though because Dwarf Fort got incredibly easy since 0.40. No tantrum spirals anymore means if you play smart it's literally impossible to lose now.
I've given up on modern DF versions and gone back to 40d, shit's way more fun and challenging.

>>382997224
Careful anon, Factorio also has a lot of mods!

>>382997290

No, you literally don't play the game. Getting to the ship building stage is easy as fuck unless you're using some mod to make research take longer.

I liked RW. But I'm done with it. Seriously needs some deep and thorough corrections. I would not buy it (again). Same questions as always: when will alphas finally advance and be released?

Wall is made of wood because stone wall require cut stone. My first pet is a fucking monkey that can't do shit before my farm produce some food for it to be trained. Maze of spike traps require intense labor with just 3 guys and panther roaming outside my door.

>>382997417

Use turrets.
Build a circular dumping area for stone blocks around your defenses, they slow your attackers, its way easier than making traps.

Or build your defense near a river, it slows them hard enough.

That's what happened basically. With the world activation came rare seiges (unless you embark right near gobbos/towers), there are no Tantrum Spirals because he re-wrote Dwarf Psychology with 140-something emotions (apparently he considered the tantrums to be a "bug") so while DF still has some difficulty you'll probably get FPS death first, unless you either go out of your way to suck at the game (no bridges, no walls, wrestler squads etc) or embark on Terrifying Glaciers (which just become a micro-intensive chore after a while).

Terrifying biomes aren't really a good idea at the moment anyway because a bug causes undead hair and other small undead mobs to be unkillable (they're too small to hit, so they'll dodge 5 squads of elite hammerdwarves's swings while a single piece of undead donkey hair kills your whole fort).

>>382997739
you can also change the requirements for a full blow siege event
and if you're having trouble still start killing caravans

>>382994586
There's a "permadeath mode" to stop you from save-scumming. I suggest you use that.

>>382994610
The fact you think the game becomes too easy past 5 colonists sounds like you struggle in the early game, then get bored once you've secured the basics of your base. The game is not afraid to throw some serious bullshit at you the further you progress.

Besides, difficulty really doesn't matter in a game like this. RimWorld is a game that can be super easy or super difficult depending on how you tweak the settings, the game is more about causing interesting things to happen and seeing shit play out than to "win".

>>382997148
Make it out of leather / hides? Growing cotton doesn't take that long. While you can dedicate one person to constantly research, you'd still have to have other people support your researcher for food and such.

>>382997913
Doesn't permadeath still save at certain points? Can't you just alt+f4 and load the latest autosave if you so wish?

>>382997148
Why are you disregarding leather/cotton clothes and use only devilstrand, though

Daily reminder that Rimworld general on /vg/ died because futa-spammer and "How should we troll /dfg/ today guize?" basically made everyone else not want to post and keep the general alive.

So? You can cheat in literally every singleplayer game ever made. Abusing the autosave is just cheating. Why not just open the developer console and give yourself anything you want and delete any raids that are too strong?

>>382998125
That's funny because usually what I see happening is the opposite.

A rimworld thread like this one pops up and all the dorf fort turbo autists emerge and shit all over it.

>>382996876
>He opens the front fucking door, letting six ravenous wolves in which proceeded to fuck everyone up.
Use zones

>>382998217
Point was, if someone wants to save-scum, permadeath won't prevent them from doing that. I have a bad habit of savescumming in most games, I've been trying to get rid of it. But just because I do doesn't mean I want to 'cheat' in other ways.

>>382998125
Generals in general are a mistake.
You get shit like /utg/, which doesn't even talk about the game but creates atrocious fanart and layered memes, reanimated beaten zombie horses like /rlg/ that manage to talk about orc priests after doing it for like 5 years, subhuman abominations like that "starcraft" general where they do not talk about the game at all, and many other terrible examples of why you shouldn't ever get too much into one game at a time.

how the FUCK do I deal with raids? every single time I get raided it goes one of two ways:
>a) I defeat the raid laughably easy, thanks for the free loot delivery you fucking idiots
>b) I get absolutely fucking massacred no matter how hard I try, game over, start a new game from scratch
It doesn't matter if I have amazing defenses or not, the game always finds a way to completely fuck my ass whether it be niggers digging through my walls (what's the point of building thick stone walls if they can just deconstruct them WHAT THE FUCK) or siege raids where I either get my base completely fucked or run out there and die to their snipers.

>>382993943

put some high value, but low importance shit in an outside store room.

If the raid is too big to handle, let them steal some shit and they will fuck off.

I find that only reloading from auto-saves is enough of a deterrent to stop most people's urge to game the save system. Ultimately you have to just promise yourself not to cheat or savescum, even if you think you lost because the game did something "bullshit" just suck it up and maybe look for a mod that fixes that.

>>382998668
fireproof your base next time. separate buildings and important storage areas with a 2-thick line of concrete floor to act as a "firewall" to stop your whole base from burning down.

if you store all your loot in a huge pile, expect that at some point during the game you might lose it all to a big fire.

>>382998498
>>382998840
nice tower defense game

>>382998498
That's because rimworld's combat has no fucking depth, so it boils down to a numbers game. You're either strong enough to beat them, or you're not, and when you're not you just get overwhelmed and lose instantly no matter what you do.

>>382998498
It's mostly the way you build fortifications.
Niggers won't dig through your shit if you engage them before they start digging.

Also call for help on comms. Helpers are retards, but they soak pretty well and if you don't friendlyfire them, you won't ruin the relations with faction. If you rescue the downed helpers, you can actually improve the relations.

And tame some boars. Bandits are immune to bald, but not to pig.

>>382998498
Have some structures or items raiders can smash/burn away from your main entrance. Some will go for the bait and others will go for the gate. That lessens the amount of dudes you have to fight at once.

You can also try not fighting them. They will leave after destroying/stealing enough stuff.

Finally, raid size is based on colony wealth. Try not expanding so fast.

it's shit

Literally the most advanced tech I've has I think was the upgraded research table.

You don't know suffering until the raiders bring doomsday rocket launchers.

You're an idiot for not restricting your colonists to indoors when there's a pack outside. Do you want the entire game to play for you?

You definitely need a dedicated researcher, it took me 8 hours to reach the broken techs.

Also yeah, researching broken techs requires good luck of finding/trading

Those are logical, because past this research you will have EVERYTHING you need to fuck anything.

Hordes of animals can be the most dangerous thing in the game. Even a fully power armored drugged-up melee master won't survive alone against ten rats.

I put effort into mine, and unlike 90% of them that i've seen, I didn't base it on myself and make it all combat orientated.

Also I didn't make the career or backstory name locked, so random npcs and players can also use them.
