Who's been your favorite character, so far? Write a little snippet about them.

Mine:
>A German/Japanese biology professor named Kimori Weiss.
>She is a petite, yet well toned woman, with black hair that she pulls back into a ponytail most of the time.
>Early on, she undertook more responsibility than the rest of the settlers. I kind of saw her as a leader figure.
>She got along well with everyone, and seemed to make the best of the colony's situation. I imagine her giving everyone words of encouragement, and assistance on their projects.
>Later on, a Grizzly bear went apeshit and started murdering the whole town. Kimori got mauled and lost her left arm.
>I immediately spent all of my time and resources to building a proper medical center, where she was given a biotic prosthetic arm.
>Though her mood changed during this whole scenario, she stayed optimistic, and continued to encourage those around her.
>Now she spends all of her free time in the comm center of my town, despite all the other members of the original crew taking to space, she will likely spend all of her days in the settlement of Spurlan.

Kimori's a badass. I should get a drawfriend to draw her sometime.

>>149029836

I wouldn't bother with either of them unless you're hurtin' for a researcher, in which case Left, even though he's useless for just about anything else.

so what are the best body parts to replace with advanced prosthetics?

Any relation to pick related?

>>149032560
Yup it's a climate extremity. Either it's too cold or too hot for the crop and it just withers away. This is why it's best to have a heater and a sunlight to ensure the crop is always at optimal temperature and has light.

>>149032560
is there a roof above them?
also soil fertility might matter for corn; it's mentioned in the info

Any tips for Boreal Forest? Growing season is only like 10 days. I rushed hydroponics, what's a good setup?

>>149032926
When you're getting hydroponics set up I recommend nutrient paste until you have a decent amount and a good power set up.

If you ever spot fertilized Ostrich eggs in a traders inventory buy them all.
Ostriches are almost as good as big cats in terms of damage/speed (11.09/1.74/98% damage; 6 move speed) and lay eggs too

1 steam vent will heat a little more than 1 sunlamp worth of greenhouse in -10C temperatures
if you find 1 sunlamp worth of fertile soil nearby a steam vent to pipe in it should sustain your starting colonists with the addition of hunting until you can get a better setup together
also look for two or more steam vents close together for a larger greenhouse

if they get the upper hand and you dont feel you can safely sit in your perch anymore picking them off, hide back into your town and do urban warfare, ambushing them in hallways from all sides using your melee and low cooldown pistols to your advantage against their long reload charge rifle and lmg

the problem with solar flares is that it shuts down ALL electricity for multiple hours. In the Ice Sheet you might as well reload as your colonists will freeze and all your hydroponic plants will die with nothing you can do about it. I feel that if they made Solar Flares either electricity-powered things work half as well or only electric stuff outside is shut down it would be more balanced

But on the bright side both Blue and Lucky are making a connection with each other, the harsh wastes have made them closer than before.

although I do have the problem that I can never get far. My bases always get made, and I always make it past the first pirate raid that happens a few days in, but it's only a week or so until we run out of sustainable food or wood to make things. And other times, we run out of steel and have to go mining around randomly until people get stressed to the nines. Any tips?

They worked alright, can't hide behind cover if they're standing on a sandbag plus it slows them down. Never saw them try to use the sandbags themselves as cover.

sandbag-wall-wall-sandbag-wall-wall-sandbag seemed to be the optimal way to defend since it gave the colonists something to hide behind and they could use a sandbag at the same time.

Now that i think about it, she would probably give into it.

She's just escaped some horrible fate in the drop pod, and is rescued.. This is her chance at a new life. To leave her past behind.

And then your colony captures her, and she is right back into the nightmare of forced sexual favors.. Only this time, there's no laws saying what you can and can't do. You're on a lawless Rimworld, with no regulations for slaves, no policemen, nothing.

You could do anything you want to her, and she knows it. One wrong move, one wayward remark, and she's gone from happily fed sex slave to organ donor.

So she'd try to bear it. She'd fight a little at first, tears in her eyes.

But after her legs and arms come off, she'd get the message.


Your colonists probably were stressed as hell, before. Raids, food issues, Alphabeavers.. But luckily, they've got this nice new pet to empty their worries into.

She's right back at square one.. But at least Emmie is alive.

Use the doormat mod senpai.

>>149054007
Give 1 person number 1 priority in cleaning

It hardly takes up any time and ensures all dirt is gone. It also drastically increases the quality of the area making people like it more.

Also, you should build a second door for your fridge. It reduces the amount of heat going into the fridge when people move in and out of it

7 years is considered old for most dogs, so yeah 12 should not be a surprise

toxic fallout also gives dementia

Alright, this is what I'll do then.
However since that mod apparently won't work correctly since it hasn't been updated for the hotfix, I'm gonna stick with Randy for now.

They're not the same, afaik (last month or so), smooth floors have the highest beauty but no value, while wooden have no beauty, are neutral,
but smooth floors have the highest work need, its a good exercise for your builders, took me a while to figure this out, had smoothen all of my base to later put on some flooring,

there's 1-2 on every map, sometimes they have alien robots or bug hives, both of which will completely wreck both your shitty tribe and normal colonies

you got lucky this time, ruins without hostiles are rare as fuck now

Boreal Forest or Arid Shrubland

Can't decide.

This is my base. How do I defend it properly?

I loaded an earlier autosave to show you, but last night I got
a) Attacked by 5 raiders, one of which had a grenade launcher
b) After capturing one and killing three, all my guys were damaged and needed medical help
c) Meanwhile a mad animal attacked. I killed it in the entry hallway, however it blew up (or something else did) when it died and started a fire.
d) At the same time the prisoner went berserk, broke down the door and stormed the infirmary where all my guys were
e) The mad prisoner pinned them all down while resting/injured and prevented them from tending to the fire, which spread quickly

I alt+f4 and went to sleep and now I'm back from work and I don't know what to do.

I had a turret outside but it died in 2 seconds and did nothing.

>>149032061
I almost wish they would add suicide for that extra level of brutal. But the game dev said he wouldn't

>>149069892
What if we eat the visitors instead?

>>149070223
Don't put those fires in there man. Put them in another room and use vents. Much safer.

Few hours later progress. Winter is fucking coming fast. Low on food. Fuck.

>>149070358
Just put some turrets out front for now if you can afford it. Lots of sandbag since they're cheap.

It's a good defensive position to begin with you don't have to worry too much.

>>149070358
A decent quick solution is building walls and sandbags similar to >>149047739 , your guys can peek from behind the walls and will be mostly safe

>>149071081
It'd be better to point out his use of sandbags in choke points (I use stones instead because they're free).

Slowing down your enemy means more cycles of ranged fire and means the difference between victory and defeat.

>>149071264
He doesn't quite have a chokepoint yet, they appear to be able to come from 3 directions
Of course he should build a killbox or some other more elaborate defenses later, but I assumed he wa sshort on time

>>149070358
>going full dorf fort
You'll have a lot of fun later on

>almost a month with this one cunt who won't join me
What is the secre for prisoner recruitment?

When does shit start happening? I think my colony is up for like a week now and I haven´t had a single event except for visitor and one girl joining my colony

Oh no did I make a mistake
I thought it was safer

This is what the outside looks like, I'll put 4 turrets down near the sandbags out of my entrance (i'm still researching them)

The problem is last night the raiders dug a tunnel from the southern side behind my solar panels, that was really bad

>>149072198
What difficulty and version are you playing on
launch alpha 14 had a bug where it wouldn't spawn any events, 14c is the current one, you see it in the top left corner of the main menu

How much does this game need mods?
On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being "it's fine as is" and 10 being "bethesda game"

>>149072569
1.

~4 if you really need variety of items in your games.

>>149072569
1

Pretty much all mods are quality of life/flavor. I've noticed a bunch of them fall into "make this game easier I am a gay babby" territory though.

>>149072225
>Oh no did I make a mistake
Insect Hive event, game hates underground bunkers so it'll throw random insect hives at you.

>>149072495
I pirated few days ago so I might have the version without events. Im having classic story teller and don´t remember what difficulty but in desc it said ´´this how rimworld was meant to be played´´

>>149072779
>"make this game easier I am a gay babby"

Things didn't turn out so well for this budding colony.

Raid after raid thanks to Randy finally took their toll as Chald caught a bullet in the chest which became infected and led to a spiral of health issues.

The timberwolf, Violence, seems to be managing well so far.

>>149073182
you can't do that, just make four walls

your colonists won't be building fast enough to make rectangle dragging useful anyways

anyone remember what mod used to allow for control groups and sending your dorfs to predefined locations with one button?
shit gets way to bothersome couple of hours in even with ten faggots to command every time a raid comes along.

>>149027278
I haven't plays this game in at least a solid year. Where can I find the latest version? Not willing to pay for the experience I had last time, although it looked promising.

>>149073875
Area restrictions.

I set up areas for everyone to gather in during a raid, so I just have to hit one button and everyone runs their ass into the defensive position.

>>149074097
It's not likelihood so much as if the game thinks you need one. If you want one, just wait until it gives you an event (incapacitated raider instead of killed, escape pod, chased refugee)
