Never. Wait for mods.

>>390117656
Infestations are alarming at first, but really easy to deal with if your interior floor plan wasn't designed by a retard

>>390117863
Never in your fucking life.

>>390117957
Aren't insects auto hostile?

>>390118139
Yes, that faggot is cheating.

>>390118073
It would be nice to have cellars though. Tynan doesn't necessarily have to make a graphic for them or render another layer of terrain. A simple door and a dotted grid outline to show where it's located would be nice and all that would be needed.
Although that's a case of "give em an inch"

>>390117863
Much as I'd love it, Unity struggles enough with just one floor.

Insect infestations are a non-problem, you've got a few second window when the event happens to pause and get the colonist out of the room if that's where the insects spawn.

Honestly the bigger problem is cleaning the slime, blood and corpses or accidentally butchering insects and making meals out of them since insect meat gives you a mood malus.

>>390118779
not gonna lie, i wish i would be given the option to change regular roof for a glass one so the sun can come inside the rooms, i have having to waste so much energy on sunplants just because i fear of fallout radiation.

>>390118895
There's a mod for that, it includes solar panel roofing too for maximum energy

>>390117656
>not enjoying all that insect meat

They are basically a low cost source of meat that you can use (feed colonists or animals) or sell. In my experience, they only seem to spawn in the deepest mined out areas. So if you always keep mined out pockets further in the mountain from your base, then they spawn there and are easy to deal with. Seal those pockets off and set up simple trap systems that you can bait them to run through. Burn the nests when you need too.

>>390117565
I like Rimworld, the thing is, when you compare it to dorf fortress, the latter literally has hundreds times of depth than it. So it makes me feel guilty to want to go back to it when I can alternatively go back to df.

>>390118972

>>390119256
Nigger I'm phoneposting from bed right now, look up solar roofing or glass roof on the workshop or something, I just know it's a combined mod and a good one

Oh, god, just play Dwarf Fortress and shut up already.

I will when they add some fucking graphics to it.

That's because DF has Z-levels.

Well shit.
I wish there was an exchange to silver currency desu, like bottle caps.

>>390118779
This. The game doesn't even need that many Z-levels either. Just one level up and one level down will be enough.

>>390120536

but you can do that yourself with tilesets

>>390120501
> I have trouble keeping myself entertained after a little while though
Try different biomes instead of trying to pick a perfect one. Extreme cold/heat are are both fun and play very differently.

Handicapping yourself is a lot of fun.

>>390121545
The AI now are a bit smarter, they come with mortars and shoot from outside.

Annoying as shit.

>>390121886
Those aren't very good graphics. At least the ones I've seen. Got any screenshots?

Not really bottlecaps but this mod adds a second currency that's basically banknotes for all your stockpiled silver.

>>390119253
DF might be one of the best "colony-management" games ever, but it's bullshit user interface is just too horrible. For all that guy's brilliance as a programmer his refusal to rethink the UI is just insane. Never mind the lack of graphics, that can be fixed with a tileset. But nothing will fix me going crosseyed at that fucking UI after playing for 8 hours.

Rimworld is so easy normies can into colony sim management, once they figure out the basics. There isn't even a water mechanic, which is fairly brutal in DF.

>>390122048
I got that one going, I'm at several bank notes trying to make the ship and finish at least one game play without having my people die of going berserk or random fallout.

>>390119253
DF fag here, I like both games for different reasons. They're both good and bad at separate things.

DF has more complex systems, z lvls, history generation, 2 game modes and you can embark hundreds of forts on the one world and then go adventuring to those spots.

Rimworld however is harder on Max difficulty, has tech and research and you can manually control your guys.

>>390121969
That's only in siege raids. You should have mortars of your own to shell the fuck out of them anyway.

>>390121971
The tilesets are perfectly fine you mong.

>>390122174
>Rimworld however is harder on Max difficulty
More like bullshit difficulty.
There is NO WAY a pack of manhunting chickens can exterminate 6 men colony, ARMED

>>390122272
Hm, not sure if bug but there were like a few of them and their mortars got inside the buildings, not caves though.
Also no caravan to get mortars or really any decent weapons.

>have trouble keeping myself entertained after a little while though.
I've been playing this game years ago, like one or 2 updates before Tynan added HP to the clothes, every update i dumped around 4 whole real life days into playing, shit was fun and never ending having no idea how everything works and having new things occuring, now that the game is getting even more slow and each update tough full of stuff, doesn't do it anymore, i have to mod the game a lot just to find fun for around 2-3 hours each week, how sad.

>>390122469
