Rerolls man. First colonists are important.
And be sure to give them big space areas, and some plant pots so they don't get pissy. They are a bunch of self important uppity shits and those moodlets are what hurt ya

I'm building an Aryan nation. All my colonists are white and blonde apart from an honorary Asian girl. And only whites and Asians are allowed.
We also ride a shitload of bears into battle if the outer perimeter is breached. Only bears are allowed as pets.

This game is growing onto me.

>>151718614
I'm drowning in fucking prisoners to feed, 8 of them after 3 survivors from the last siege

fucking healroot needs to hurry up and come so I can harvest these lazy fucks that are eating me out of existence

>>151719592
I think i may start imprisoning all dark skinned raiding parties who survive, replace all the body parts that i can with bionic implants and brain implants (to make proper unruly slaves), and put them to eternal field work to accumulate shekels from the arriving orbital happy merchants.

>>151719592
why is your turret layout like that

>>151720018
I spaced it so that when mobs of raiders and other shit attack, they will be squeezed between 2 parallel facing turrets and get blasted by those turrets exploding after the bullets have done their thing to maximum effect;
while the neighboring columns or rows of turrets are unaffected by the explosions.
I basically jumbled together turrets and IED's into one defense by using turrets as IED's themselves.
The orbital transports come almost daily with Randy Randumb, so i can always repair and replace shit. I don't mind the sacrifice.

>>151719592
is there a mod that allows for smaller rooms without mood penalty

this is a frontier settlement not some 4 star hotel

Opinions on Autodoors for freezer?

>>151719592

>dat battery room
>dat solar panel stack

Lack of lighting, furniture and comfy aside stacking batteries, solar panels or anything in general like that guarantees an uncontrollable firestorm destroys everything because your colonists aren't able to put out the fires in the middle slots.

At least you're not a filthy embrasure abusing nigger.

>>151720869
What the fuck are you doing with the steel slags for it to be a full 175? After smelting that shit, enough is recycled that one orbital happy merchant is sufficient to replace 2 raids worth of turrets (and it's never more than ~8 turrets that get blasted for me anyway, 2 turrets exploding already wipe out like 4 enemy raiders, raiders will be running away before ever getting farther).
Only tribe raiders are a question due to numbers, but i'll get that covered with mortars (since most of the time they wait before they attack and i have a kick out of sending a volley of napalm in the midst of them).

>>151721106

Use them. The amount of time it takes for colonists to open the fucking things do effect how fast meals get made. I remember cutting out a large freezer for my colonists once since my old one was getting too small and made it not more than 5 tiles away and forgot to place auto doors and the rate of meal creation plummeted to the point where I had to assign people to fucking cooking fires to keep up production since I didn't have the components to build anything.

>>151721164
What fire starting?
The rooms will have shitloads of firefoam soon. The solar panel stack, is away from the wires enough. I can stuff firefoam there too (i can just replace 2 of them with firefoam to cover the whole area near the wire on the upper side of the wall).
I thought about the wires, don't you mind about that.

>>151721178
if you plan on losing turrets it seems more efficient to have a couple at an angle where all other turrets can fire at it and the enemies behind it.

>>151721425
The enemies have gotten smarter as of late.
I did that in the early versions of the game, but now many enemies go onward after just 2 or 3 are stuck in 1 area.

>>151721370

iirc firefoam poppers will only activate if the popper block catches fire unless that's been changed or I'm an idiot.

Berserk mental breaks don't make sense
>my ally died so I better kill the rest of them as well

>>151721818
I've always had them pop near an explosion.
In the worst case scenario, i can just replace the lower part of the wall with poppers. The red line is the only wire in the area.
You just need one point connecting to the panels and shit since panels and wind turbines are by themselves wires (that don't explode).

Is this a good idea?

An internal vent that has a no 1 wide no roof section above it. Gives me complete heat dissipation, while protecting the heaters from external attack, as you can have your freezer in the middle of your base rather than on an external wall.

I guess you can also use freezers to "heat" your base, but this gives me control over temperature during Summer (you don't want freezer exhaust heat making your base an oven.

I suppose this middle section could be expanded to be bigger and grow some crops inside?

Sure, it isn't efficient, or cost effective

But God it is so satisfying to watch your little pawn move from shit head to shit head as they lie bleeding on the ground, putting bullets into their heads until they stop moving, their comrades hearing their screams and not being able to do anything but writhe in agony

Sorry if I sound aroused, it's because I am

Can a fag seduce a non-fag? This is important. A pawn's life depends on it, as in I will send him to death if he keeps getting these crazy debuffs.

>meant to exit to main menu on my permadeath save to get it saved so i can alt + f4 later if i fail

>>151724902
The downside to this is that you can't use the exhaust to heat up the rest of the base in winter, putting a cap on it will pretty much nullify the cooling. On the other hand, I'm not sure how the airvent will react if in summer because it counts as being in contact with the outside.

>>151727207
Yes. Less than 1% chance though. You can isolate him by just giving him a night owl schedule and make him haul shit.

Are Randy's raids random in scale as well as timing? Can I get a 30-man raid even if I have zero wealth (which the raiders can magically deduce)?

"Overhead Mountain" roofs are infinite, unfortunately.
It'd take a gigantic strain on hardware and game performance to implement actual block counts for that shit.
Let's say making the game build a mountain based on the highest point for the map, where each block upwards translates to 1 meter of stone.
Imagine having to do 1000 fucking blocks of stone in maps with bigger mountains, and the game needs to track and tell you how many blocks each space has above it.
Fuck that shit.

Is there a way to edit a scenario once you've started a game?

I'm doing my first ice-sheet playthrough, with a couple of pyschopathic cannibals. So that I could recruit people suitable to my cause, I tried to set it up so that everyone else in the world had a 50% chance of each of those traits.

It turns out I set all people to have 50% chance for cannibalism, but only starter people get the 50% chance for psychopath. Anyone I recruit gets buthurt about the way I treat prisoners.

I've put 4 hours into this base already, so I don't really want to start again. Is there any way to chance the % rate for psychopaths mid-game?

>finally found where you can set the durability of equipment your colonists wear so I can get them to toss their fucking 9% armors and lose the fucking mood debuff

Playing my first ever icesheet runthrough - what's the best way to heat my base? Just hooked the geothermal up for the first time, and it's not doing as much as I'd hoped.

Should I have a corridor full of heaters, with vents to each room? Or just heaters in every room, since I'll need more than 1-per room anyway? Do I need double-thick walls wherever it connects to outside?

>>151749471
I also learned that animals that are learnet to haul are amazing with hunters.

>>151749595
if you tame enough boars and keep them in one room, then the friction and body heat they generate will out-perform geothermals.

>>151749595
Only heat essential areas unless you have tons of surplus power, heaters eat a lot of wattage. A heater in each major room and leaving the small rooms unheated/doors open/vented will be fine. Mostly you just want to avoid the "slept in the cold" moodlet.

In my experience, at least.

Is it worth researching geothermal if I've only got one geyser near my base?

>>151751191
I am going to use godmode to check.

Oh so if you bury raiders in sarcophagi then you get the mood bonus anyway.
Makes sense to just put them everywhere than worry about sculptures.

>>151749595
If your geothermal catches fire it's fucked, pawns can't into center tiles.

You'll probably want a heater in each bedroom, but might be able to get away with 2 and vents. Your dining area will need a heater also. You should consider building some defences around areas of your base that are open to the sky, raiders can drop pod in there which will really ruin your day

>>151724902
When I first started playing a year ago I had raiders land right in front of my door. If they still exhibit this behavior nowadays you might have the problem of raiders landing right in your venting area.

>I'm so used to digging into mountains that I made 3-wide corridors in case of infestations, even though that can't happen outside.
Try to just make connected rooms. Hallways are good for efficiency, but ultimately it's just another volume of air to condition.

>I'm guessing going for very spacious bonuses for my living areas on a cold map is a bad idea?
It's very likely to end up being a well-decorated mausoleum.

>Are two small rooms easier to heat than a big one of the same size?
It's about the same. But you'll want to have as small an area as possible to save heating electricity.

>Why do I need to cut down on doors?
I'm pretty sure they are better conductors of heat than the walls of the same material, and each time someone goes through the temperature equalizes. Make airlocks for the ones leading outside, and try to minimize them to keep heat in.

>Hydroponics are on their way once I have enough steel to make the growing trays. I've modded the scenario a bit so that 50% of the people that spawn are cannibal/psychopath, so far I've been living off nothing but human flesh from raiders.

How micromanagement intensive is this game?

>>151764624
I also have one of those in my team. It's not as bothering as I thought it would be.

>>151765420
The base game is pretty low intensity. When you have a shit ton of mods with multiple workshops it can get a bit unwieldy but you just get used to it after a bit.

>>151765420
That depends on how well you set up your priorities, how many colonists you have, on your environment and the difficulty settings. Basically, a lot of colonists in peace time don't need managing, but when shit goes bad you do

>>151765420

Depends on how you play. But if you set your work priorities right and get enough people, your colonists can get shit done fine on their own.

The biggest issue I have is with distant projects (hauling or construction) in which multiple people trek halfway across the map to work on little bits rather than one person going out to work on the project themselves.

If you're playing Randy Extreme you're gonna need to micromanage. If you're going for a chill Phoebe game it's hands off comfy.

sterile floors. made of silver. lowers the risk of infections. Vanilla.

>>151769410
I don't think that part is fleshed out. I captured and successfully invited the leader of a pirate faction, and the game still says he curses at me when I use the console.

It's the best strategy. Three man fireteam, two snipers one rifleman (the rocket is a recoilless rifle)

Run the rifleman up and splash the fuckers after they go nighty-night, then use the snipers to lay down suppressing fire so the riflemen can escape. Leapfrog the snipers from cover to cover so one is always shooting while the other withdraws. pull em into the jaws of your base's defenses and that's that.

You shouldn't make prison doors out of anything other than granite if you can help it.

When a prisoner goes berserk and starts busting down the door, it affords you the time to repair and keep them in there at a leisurely pace.

for people considering aryan nations, glittertech is a nice mod because they have a bomb which creates a steam geyser - great for the gas chambers.


also is there a mod that lets me cut off legs if they are not infected? it seems like the easiest way to keep prisoners if after they have an infection so you can chop it off and they can't move so they can't break

Technically the game still continues even after you leave behind the colony, if I recall correctly, so you can either wait fro a wanderer to join, spawn people with dev mode, or create a raid with dev mode.

Is there honestly any combination of backstories that's worse than this?

This game is fucking exhilarating with a bit of imagination.

We have a saying in my country. "Many small streams make a large river."

A strong stream got nothing against the river.

Does it make a difference for windmills if they are in a valley or in open field?

I feel like events don't happen fast enough in Cassandra classic, I don't know.

>>151813664
I wish there were custom storytellers.

Like making Cassandra with twice as many raids but no random diseases, or loads and loads of drop pods instead of traders.

It can't be that hard to keep your food cool

There is no d in refrigerators, I think that's your probled

I wish I could call traders, maybe not entirely at will but at least have one show up every few days. I originally thought that's what the beacon was for and paid 300 silver for nothing, whoops.

>>151815031
there's a mod called ed transponer that does that

I always have a single melee combatant in my lineup that I use to bait grenadiers into fragging their own people.

>>151816204
Neat, I'll have to check it out.

>HURR ARE CHIMNEYS A GOOD IDEA
Yes, nigger.

Jesus Christ, why does this game scratch so many fucking itches in one.

I don't think I'll ever need another game again.

>>151822895
to me it was a day of trying stuff out, then the next day I started playing for real, played non-stop for like 15 hours, then after that I couldn't pick it up again. since then I am just watching other people play sometimes. I can't seem to play games like this episodically. It was the same with EU4 or Civ5

Question about organ harvesting and this game in general.

If I just use one person to harvest the organs in a remote location cut off by other people can I keep it a secret or is that even an option

What the hell? I just generated a seed, and it was "susskind". I was watching a video yesterday by Leonard Susskind. Is this an enormous coincidence, or does this game read my history? I mean, it wouldn't be that weird if it was just with a word, but a name? Thats just weird.

>>151823854
Think about the amount of names you read in your life, think about the amount of rimworld (or other) seeds you have generated. Bound to happen eventually.

>>151823903
I guess you are right, but I find it weird that a name like that is in the game in the first place

>>151823549
There's no option to keep your colonist silent about what they did.

>so how was your day
>Oh pretty standard. Butchered some raiders for their squishy parts
>...you WHAT?

So I guess not.

how do i find out the seed of the map that a savegame is using?
or am i fucked and its irretrievable?

I savescum raids and difficult hunts.

There's a world tab that you can check at the bottom of your screen.

Is there a known glitch relating to not cleaning up dirt/rubble? There seems to be spots in various rooms that my people don't clean and I can't select to manually order the job.

I adore how fucking stupid raiders are at times.

>bait with trigger-happy guy with assault rifle
>run out with them after me

It was a slaughter.

>>151811084

Meaning can you go to new areas? No, I don't believe so.

After installing the recommended mods I can't order my colonists to do anything, any reason why? Did I install them wrong?
