Things colonists say when trying to create a romance.

>>152968515
Yeah, I don't really see why anyone would. I just stop playing when I feel "done" with a colony, rather than twiddling my thumbs until I've amassed enough resources to get off the planet.

>>152968831
The ship really needs to be an optional way to end the game and instead become a main way to raid other areas and maybe start a "new game plus" where you get the ship, same save+everything and everyone you brought with the ship.

It would be nice to raid the tribal cunts that stole that one unlucky guy who was far outside to get him back instead of paying like a cuck.

>Before/instead of building a ship you can travel directly to other maps and build a new or secondary settlement there or just use it for raw material gathering.
>Ability to come across other NPC settlements when traveling.
These.
It would be nice if you could make multiple settlements, bonus points if the ship was an OPTIONAL endgame way to travel across the whole world quickly, without any enviromental factors or food needs affecting the travellers. The settlements could also be a part of diplomacy which start out guaranteed as allied, but can detoriate depending on who's running the colonies. Raids on hostile faction bases et cetera.
Maybe more NPC colonies popping up as game goes on?

"Build ship to end game" is a really hamfisted end goal.

>>152969676

Why are mortars so shit?

I've spent more than two days firing at a god damned poison ship. My main gunner has 16 shooting. I've fired almost 40 artillery rounds at this point and hit it 2 or 3 times.

>>152971458
Spent like 4 days inside my base until they starved and left. Then sniped the mechacunts one by one.

>>152973710
as far as i know mortars are not affected by the pawns shooting skill

Anyone got good tips on defending against raiders? Even on standard difficulty they seem to come quite often and they're kind of a pain to deal with.

My current method is to wall in my compound and surround the entrances with sandbags and pillars

>>152973710
a ship is a really small target, you pretty much need a direct hit

mortars feel balanced to me when counter sieging a siege raid because the pawns are spread apart that you'll hit someone around maybe 1/10 times if you aim at center mass

How does a kill box work? You leave one opening and all ai automatically path through to it?

>>152976042
yes
you wall yourself all around, leave 1 spot open and focus all defenses on it
sappers will still go for the shortest path to your base though

Gosh those raid are just too frequent.
And I thought that I will be fine with basebuider

There needs to be a way to forcefully feed people drugs like go-juice so they won't go apeshit berserk because of stubbed toe.

And there has to be LSD or some drug that would make converting prisoners easier.

I just realized that "cozy" is how guys have found a way to describe things as "cute" without compromising their masculinity.

>>152976739
if raids in basebuilder are seriously hurting you you might need to come up with better defenses. I was surprised at how frequent they were (and when grenades and snipers got pulled out on my tribals), so I ended up adding a maze of walls and traps and now eveything's fine

After seeing this general i've decided to hop back into Rimworld. Whenever i try and get my citizen to manually pick something up (like the survival rifle you land with) the prompt doesn't show up. It only shows up if that citizen is conscripted. I noticed i can't make any of my players do anything manually. Is this a new feature? Using a bunch of mods btw

>>152981861
you sure you allowed them to use the item ?
if there is a red X you have to select the item and press F

yea i checked that, the items are not forbidden. The manual prompt when i right click isn't showing up

>>152982154

Thanks that worked, now i have to figure out which mod it would be. You've helped a lot already but do you think there is any one specific kind of mod that could cause something like that?

>>152985169
Val is our War Chief, which I guess makes him our regular Chief too. He and our healer Heron were lovers at the beginning, but she rejected his proposal and he spent a lot of time wandering around in a daze.

If it weren't for Heron holding things together and their reconciliation during a plague, the tribe might have been lost. But now he's back to his former glory.

And leading an expedition to check out this building!

any suggestions on how to defend this tunnel? what you see there has worked okay so far, but I lose a steel door at the far end every time we have a battle

it connects my town with most of the map

Real talk: has anyone really been so far as to witness colonists playing chess?

>>152991636
Remove every other piece of rubble, the movement penalty is for 'climbing' them, not being on them, and they don't help as cover when not right beside you anyway.

You may want to make it double wide and place traps in a checkerboard pattern. Your dudes will walk around them but enemies won't. But, that would mean two come through at a time.

And there are always turrets.

>>152993185
Do you mean playing chess against each other? Then no, I don't think I have. I've seen them play against themselves several times, though.

Do you guys know any easter eggs in the game? I just noticed that colonists gain about .33 shooting exp every time they throw a horseshoe.

so does the planet we generate even matter after we pick our starting tile?

>>152993931
No

>>152993474
so is checkerboard the optimal rubble pattern or is stripes?

no turrets yet since we're tribals

in pic related, enemies managed to get to the sandbags and engage in hand to hand, which was not great. gonna widen my end since I have more shooters than space right now.

there's no animal migration in this game?

>>152994583
animals do show up in the following years
they will just spend most of the years on the borders of the map and then leave from a random side when winter comes
the first year has the most animals

>>152994470
Stripes, if you checkerboard rubble they'll still be able to be on it and move at full speed by going diagonal. Now that I think about it you may want to try
R rubble
T trap
E empty
---------
RTTE
TERT

Repeated. They'll either be slowed by rubble or run into traps and your dudes can still get in and out.

what's the best biome?

>>152996784
Anything with permanent winter. Comfy central.

>>152996784
boreal forest small hills coastal biome is objectively the best

all resource veins are exposed for easy exploitation but not completely absent like flat maps

you can build your memebox around the marshes

lots of trees but not too much trees that you have to waste time chopping if you want to build in the open

Without any problems at all? Campfires for initial heating, then you get electricity and proper heating and never care about the cold again.

Can someone give me advice on animals?
I love just to get some haulers and shit, but then they get bonded with the trainer and shit, than die because animals are dumb and get between the lines of fire, and if I don't have them with there master they get sad.

Should I just have an animal dude that doesn't do combat? I just want a bunch of elephant and dog slaves to haul shit and rescue dudes.

>>152993963
what's the point of it then?

>>153004074
I have all my animals assigned to the girl who trained them. She can't fight anyway so it makes her more useful. When something gets in the perimeter that could really cause trouble if it opens fire, like a centipede with an inferno cannon, I deploy the Beastmistress.

the small table in the pic, only 4 people can sit and eat on it at the same time, the other 4 chairs are wasted
get some wind turbines for power instead of solar panels, they can work even at night/eclipse
create a choke point for defense or you'll get outnumbered and swarmed like crazy
too much wasted space on bedrooms, its best to have smaller bedrooms ( 5x5 is best for a double bed without getting any debuffs ) and production areas close to them so your pawns dont spend 1/3 of their day running around

what's wrong with this?

>>153011310
they are ugly for the colonists and you cant build power lines under them so you get another ugly object in the room

>>153011120

I will dispute irregularly shaped bedrooms as a malus until the day i die.

Rock walls are mostly just because it feels cool to carve a base into a mountain. Conduits are because of rock walls.

Equipment racks are because I don't want arms wasting space in my storage but I'm too autistic to ever let go of anything.

What is the point of battery switches and backup batteries? Do they prevent "zzrt" from taking all your power?

...And yeah, coolers? I need a way to keep my colony cool in case of a heat wave and in order to have a freezer. What else would I do? There's nothing else that brings temperature down, to my knowledge, although I haven't done a ton of tech yet.

I can stop namefagging if you want, anon. I don't care.

>>153012137
if you disconnect several charged batteries from the power grid then you'll avoid losing all energies during a short charge

>>153013426
>short charge

short circuit*

>>153013550
>>153013426

Well that's helpful to know, at least. Guess I need to start building more decentralized power.

Id like to avoid ZZTTTS or lessen their impact.

how do i grow crops on extreme desert

Do space traders not show up if you are tribal? It's been a year since I got a comm station set up and nobody has come to trade.

>>153014086
splitting up batteries and putting them behind switches you'll just have stored energy after a zzzt
there is no way in vanilla to avoid zzzts entirely
>>153014291
i haven't played in deserts but i imagine its the opposite of ice sheets, need coolers instead of heaters where you'll grow them

>>153014459
does rain not matter at all?

>>153014569
no, crops need 3 things
soil + light ( sun lamps ) + right temperature
they do not grow at night in vanilla so you can turn off sun lamps at night if you rely on a lot of solar panels

>>153014459
>need coolers instead of heaters where you'll grow them

complete. I'll post another one when we have some corpses, our last raid was sadly at the other gate.

yes, I have a rack. I want to switch my riflemen to grenades when the enemy gets close. I plan to put it directly behind the two spots that have a clear shot all the way down the tunnel and out the other side

Just realized on an ice sheet that at fall and winter the solar panels drop to like 25% output. The only way to deal with this is geothermal wells then correct?

>>152993185

...Yes? As soon as I put down a chess table they start playing chess. Usually by themselves, but I've seen them play against one another.

How hard is it to live as a cannibal colony on an ice sheet biome? Would having them turn people into soy lent green gurantee they go Beserk or is it possible to eat everyone who passes by?

>>153022273
If your colonists actually have the cannibal trait they'll get mood boosts from eating other people, especially raw- this makes ice biome a cakewalk

If we're talking normies being forced to eat people, even with paste dispensers it's going to be hard; I suggest just going with hydroponics

Will they starve themselves if I switch them from anything to work for a period, and is the one hour of joy in the morning and evening enough that they won't be totally joy deprived near the end of the workday/when they wake up?

Man this is fucked up. This guy is married to my main researcher and is a pillar of the colony. With any luck I can beat his ass and recruit him. Though now I'm going to be nervous whether this will happen again with him.

what are the best mods for rimworld?
anyone try out that Mars mod?

>>153024634
It's in vanilla but not enabled by default. I enabled it, but I saw people here and on the forums saying it still wouldn't work. I beat his ass and am in the process of recruiting him. I wonder if the faction it says he was escaping to was the original tribe we recruited him from, or whether it's randomized?

>>153024164

Tons o' Joy +10 is a great way to brace yourself against the litany of bullshit debuffs that you're constantly dealing with.

Especially if you're got people who are prone to hard breaks.

>>153024164
I set two hours at the start of the day to compensate for travel time, especially if anyone has impaired movement. Usually if set at either the start or end of the day, that means it is spent primarily on food. Make a badass dining room near the food storage and put some joy stuff in there. Make it comfy and impressive and you should be fine.

I let my colonists do whatever the fuck they want. I get less social interactions since like 1/3rd my guys will be asleep at any given moment, but I get a fuckton less down time from colonists stopping in the middle of shit to do other shit that isn't urgent like sleep even though they were in bed for several hours recovering from an injury like 2 hours ago.

You can have more than one pawn on one job m8.

Fuck, I have 1 cook per 5 colonists. Given her growth rates she will eventually outclass anyone without double passions or a significant level advantage.

She'll get to level 20 in cooking or crafting from level 4 in roughly the same amount of time someone at level 17 would

I think HP order is something like Granite > Limestone > Sandstone > Marble > Slate. You can check their HP by just looking at the ruins around your map, but even the worst stone is much better than wood.

Work and sleep shifts or let them do anything they want? Or just sleep shifts?

>>153039634

Sleep - Joy - Anything - Joy - Sleep

In my anecdotal experience, if you let them do anything and they're well rested and have joy opportunities they'll work during the Anything phase. The only real difference is they'll occasionally go grab a beer.

So these fucking bugs appeared on the corner of the map and I was too busy to ever deal with them because they were never bothering me. Now the situation is completely out of control and I don't know what happens if I continue to ignore it.

I must admit it was pretty hilarious when pirates showed up for a siege and they decided to prepare a camp close to the bugs and got completely rekt.

Over 30 bugs and around 16 hives.

Might be a good time to test the incendiary launcher I picked up from a raid.

>>153048043
Not many options yet. There's some sort of cooling room for them in A15 which is due pretty soon, if you don't mind waiting.

I would suggest you try to stagger your growing. Plant corn rice potatoes and berries so you always have something to harvest and cook, tame any muffalo on the map for milk.

>>153048047
thanks i guess that's not too bad

>>153048192
In my experience bugs mind their own business and never stray too far from their hives. I'd say just let them be if they are far enough from your compound - you can cull them from time to time for meat and jelly, otherwise a cold snap should do them all in eventually.

Lee Enfield is the best all round but requires a decent level in shooting
I'd also recommend the Assault Rifle over the Charge Rifle because that tiny bit extra range is the difference between a Close-Mid range engagement rifle to just a mid range engagement rifle; both are fine on people who are trash at shooting.
I am fond of giving shabby and poor quality charge/assault rifles to my 0-3 skill shooters and it works out okay

I could have done the same shit with my minigunner.

They had an ass siege setup because their sandbags overlapped with a ruin I hadn't deconstructed so I could sneak straight into the center of their camp and fire from wall cover right into them and they had fuck all to hide behind.

And I don't mind it being OP as shit when it's so damn hard to get in the first fucking place. Those 3 Orion soldiers were ASS to kill on day 3.

Tantrums really need to be fucking redone.

Berserk shouldn't mean "pawn goes uncontrollable, goes outside and gets raped by wolves", it should mean "pawn goes into prison, beats up prisoners within inch of their life" and "beats unliked colonist that wronged him once if no prisoners are found", after which berserk should END, berserk shouldn't start AT ALL if there's no prisoners or colonists the pawn has beef with.

Daze also needs to be redone so they don't fucking strip their fucking clothes then die. Both of these are extremely half-assed monkeying attempts of DF.

That still doesn't matter, if someone bursts you with an assault rifle IRL, and you get hit only once, you certainly wouldn't just walk away from it like after getting hit with a fist.

>>153055305
In fact, melee weapons are extremely fucking stupid.
Guns need to deal MINIMUM x3 damage they deal right now, fists need to be nerfed to 1-2 damage, clubs need to deal 5 damage base, but with increased pain, and only stabbing/slashing weapons should be worth a damn. Combat needs to be more lethal and raiders should back off a lot faster when they start getting wounded in combat.

100% if you have no means of dealing with it.

Don't you know how to find out which is the most updated version on your own?

better planning and placement. I suggest you google rudimentary military tactics since they all fucking work in this game and you'll rarely shoot your own pawns with a proper envelopment.

Also pawns are technically less likely to friendly fire into directly adjacent pawns, but it can still happen and you just become a bigger target

I bought it and there's nothing you can do to stop me. I even got 2 copies just to spite you.
