>downed raider
>get 3 people with shivs to jump on him and stab the fuck out of him

I went lone colonist and the bitch got injured. It says her wound requires treatment to heal, will it never heal otherwise? Also it's been like five days now and the wound still hasn't gotten infected, what the hell? What determines the chances of getting infection? Is it just luck on my part?

>>153731769
How dirty the floor is affects it. Mouse over the wound, it'll tell you how bad it is, like 4/5, or 20/30, etc. It'll slowly go up and heal, but you've got a good chance to bleed out or get an infection if it does. If you get an infection you're pretty much dead with nobody else to heal it. You should be cautious around stuff like knives and high-powered guns like sniper rifles, they're likely to make you bleed out if you don't have a doctor.

Can someone spoonfeed me a good early game defence layout?

>>153732376
Do you like being inside mountains, or prefer open space?

Build a generator and 2 turrets and 6 sand bags. plant potatoes and cut wood. build into the wall and research stuff.

you can't remove it without mods like bionic spine from Advanced Prosthetics or Glittertech, but if you give the person bionic arms and legs it will increase manipulation and movement enough that it will make up for it.
Frail gives -30% Movement and -30% manipulation, but two bionic legs gives 40% movement and two bionic arms gives 40% manipulation (20 each arm/leg).

Didn't there used to be a gravel on the floor requirement?

Gentlement, I've just released the version 1.2 of SSC Tweaks for RimWorld alpha 15. Grab it while it's fresh:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/93iw25nxagzq5vg/SSC%20Tweaks%20v1.2.zip?dl=0

This is a simple .xml balance mod I'm releasing only at /rwg/. Most features are quite vanilla-like, here's a list:

* Pigs are larger, lazier, grow faster and have larger litters.
* Stronger wild boars who need no man can haul a whole stack.
* Getting a muffalo naked and groping its tits yields more results.
* Grass and tall grass now spread fast like a weed.
* Yes, you can grow shrooms underground. Corn and hay too.
* Batch cooking, because Crouca Miñoca hauling five whole potatoes is cringeworthy.
* Lavish meal is less expensive but requires more ingredients.
* Cheese, charqui, pickles and scrambled eggs. Get your kitchen tidy.
* Tanned leather and treated wool, rev up all those tiny piles of random leather and wool sitting in your tailor room.

There's a more detailed list in the Readme.txt file.

If you use my mod, I'd love some feedback - do you think something should be nerfed/buffed/changed?

>>153760218
>* Lavish meal is less expensive but requires more ingredients.

Why would you make Lavish meals consume MORE resources? They're already not worth it.

>>153760218
NOTE: some features have been removed. They are:
* Silage - there was little to no point on silage, since hay takes ages to spoil.
* Stone slab floors - there are already better mods doing that. Here's one: https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=4373.0

>>153760394
I should've reworded that better.
Vanilla lavish meal: 10 veggies + 10 (meat or animal product)
Rebalanced lavish meal: 5 veggies + 5 meat + 5 animal product

So it's cheaper, but it requires all three categories to be crafted.

>>153756854
I recommend finding a way to the edge of the map, because raiders WILL drop pod onto you.

>* Batch cooking, because Crouca Miñoca hauling five whole potatoes is cringeworthy.
>he can't into efficient cooking so he makes a mod for it
Real sad tbqh. Learning to reduce hauling times using stockpile zones and priorities is part of base planning. I bet you don't even know about benches.

should tranny colonists get affected by their birth sex's psychic drone?

also, are there any ftms? I've only seen mtfs

>>153760954
If you're interested in some features but don't want the others, I've made the mod fully modular.

>Learning to reduce hauling times using stockpile zones and priorities is part of base planning
I'm aware you can create two small stockpiles near the oven, put them on "critical" priority and have the cooker drop the meals on the floor. However, this means one of your haulers will be constantly stuck at the kitchen hauling five potatoes from one stockpile to another every time the cooker grabs some ingredients.

In an ideal world, this could be solved if we could set up stockpiles to only accept full stacks or if they had some "wait until this stockpile has less than X to haul in stuff". But since we don't have that yet, batch cooking does the trick.

>>153761238
Is this a thing? I guess i will have to check all colonists background now.

>>153760954
Besides hauling, batch cooking also solves the following situations like:

>bill set up to make meals until you got X of them
>someone picks a single meal, so your stockpile has X-1 meals
>cooker runs half map to cook ONE meal and resume his/her work at something else

Now, imagine the cooker does five meals at once. People need to take at least five meals before the cooker needs to stop his/her secondary task and go back to the kitchen.

Also, it's plain immersion-breaking you can't cook more shit at once... people IRL cook stuff for four, five, ten meals at once.

>>153762264
Sparkles is the only tranny.

>>153762319
>>153761807
If you set the stockpile to critical you'll be creating the problem where the hauler moves 5 potatoes at a time, but using a lower priority will mean that after the hauler hauls the 75 meat, they'll move on to a different hauling task. Once they begin that task they won't stop and change to another task until it's finished, and they won't start the next hauling task if they're not sufficiently close to the kitchen/fridge area. Realistically is plays out like this: hauler wandering at corn field -> checks what to haul -> hauling corn to fridge is best -> hauls corn to fridge - > hauler wandering at fridge -> checks what to haul -> hauling corn is best -> cook makes meals -> kitchen stockpile depleted -> hauler already started hauling corn and won't stop.

The problem where a colonist walks halfway across the map because they've got a higher priority job can be fixed by setting better work priorities. You wouldn't want batch harvesting just because a colonist harvests one tile of corn and then hauls 10 corn back to the stockpile.

>>153760687
As long you keep taming him and giving food that way they will not attack you. I tamed many bears like that.

what do purple beds do

So apparently altitude affects the amount of power you get from solar panels. Now all my components and steel are in a stack of solar panels and I can't farm because the temperature in the greenhouse dropped to -60.

Well that was fun.

>>153763923
Yeah, they only hunt when they're hungry. When taming/training, your pawns actually feed them, filling their need for food and they won't attack anything.

>>153764348
hospitality mod, they are guest beds

>>153763529
The problem arises whenever the stockpile in question has an higher priority than all the other stockpiles, even if it's on "normal". So often the solution goes as:
* Near the stove - important
* Freezer - preferred
* Misc. - normal
(Or something like this... the _actual_ priority isn't important, but their relative rank)

Now, what about the other stockpiles? If you set them to "normal" or "preferred", the problem is still there; "important" and people will keep hauling ores or other shit while the fucking potatoes are on the rain, since it has an higher priority than the freezer. (Or worse - they haul five potatoes from the fields to near the stove)

>You wouldn't want batch harvesting just because a colonist harvests one tile of corn and then hauls 10 corn back to the stockpile.
The problem with harvesting is far smaller - a crop takes days to grow, and you can easily synchronize the whole growing zone (so as soon as someone harvests a corn, there are 20 other to harvest).

how do you even live in that biome? do you start with hydroponics researched?

>>153766547
rich explorer so you don't have to share food
bring food indoors so wild animals wont eat it
kill dog so he wont eat food
2 or 3 campfires to get good temperature
research hydroponics asap

>>153766547

You don't need that if you can find a spot with a decent amount of gravel. That way you can put a sun lamp there, wall it off and farm taters.

Then I'd go with the priority of stonecutting -> hydroponics -> geothermal to secure food production for a long time.

Solar flares should stop all exposed electronics i.e. anything outside

Anything inside a mountain should be safe, like batteries.

Hydroponics also needs more depth with watering and nutrient level maintenance instead of just relying on pure RNG fuckups to make hydroponics nonviable.

>This problem with vegetables dying in the rain can be solved by using a stockpile that only accepts vegetables in the hp range of 0%-30%, set it to the highest priority and it will serve as a rescue stockpile for endangered food.
The problem is still there, though. Hauling still needs huge improvements, and the ad hoc solutions people find to its problems probably would not survive the fixing. I just skipped the whole thing by removing the problem.

>>153760954
>Learning to reduce hauling times using stockpile zones and priorities is part of base planning
After thinking a bit about this: I agree on general grounds, but not on this case.

Stuff as "put consumption near production" should be part of the base planning, since this is dynamic and forces the player to make choices ("should I ignore that rich soil there just to get the growing zone near the kitchen? What should I do if the ideal tailoring area has water and mud?").

However, this kind of micromanaging we're talking about does not force the player to do choices. It does not add a challenge to the game; as soon as you have a pre-made solution (like stockpiles near the oven), you can simply copy and paste them everywhere. And again, a hauling overhaul (pun unintended) would get rid of them.

>>153799602
>>153800068
That's how much it'll bleed out per day, not current total. The "Blood Loss (adjective)" is what percentage it has already bled out.

>>153801160
Seriously? It literally says 'bleeding rate'

>>153801310
Yeah, having bled out any at all will cause the "Blood Loss" one to show up, starting at trivial and climbing, like infections do. The bleeding rate represents how quickly the blood loss meter climbs, and if you watch will go down as wounds get treated, stopping once they're all bandaged up, or climb as they get injured. More holes, more bleeding, quicker death.

>>153800476
Hauling is easily fixable if they just add 'hauling zones' to focus on.

After the switch gets flicked it takes maybe .35 seconds per turret. Whether you'll have someone nearby to flick is another matter.

Guys, how do I edit a pre-existing character's job title cosmetically, as in without changing their stats or any other mechanics? The title I want isn't even in the game so I know I'll have to mod it somehow, but what would the process be? I'm retarded by the way.

>>153802014
I think there's an easier fix: a "minimum pile size" slide for each stockpile, ranging from 0 to 200; colonists would only haul stuff from another stockpile when at least one of the piles has less than the defined value.

Doors on both sides might not be necessary, but it makes it easier for them to walk through the hallway without deciding to path over traps.

I just put my pet warg to fight it. (The warg was going to be slaughtered anyway)
And then I shoot the weakened bear.

finally got the tech to make my little rape box
its placed as a secondary defence if my killbox gets overrun
top left is a sleep canister to make sure they dont fight back
bottom right is a sealing foam canister to close the doors they break in through if some try to run when the sleeping gas is triggered
both triggered from a room above remotely

>the raiders decided to capture who they can and leave
They'll give me a chance to buy her back, r-right?

>>153821158
This triggers me, you have a fucking bear there, tame it. Why the fuck would you waste such a great chance?

>using mods to defend against raiders
might as well mod in demonbane

>>153823648
Why would I tame a bear? So it can be killed by tribals and his trainer gets mental break?

No, thanks. I even slaughtered the warg while there's "new colony optimism" bonus to avoid this shit; animals are haulers or livestock, that's it.

>>153823682
arent most mods helping you defend against raiders in some way anon ?
either directly by giving you more tools or indirectly by making the rest of the game easier

>not having an alcoholic tamer can't cope with having to form bonds with animals only to watch them die in battle

>>153822112
they'll even throw in a free baby in return :)

>>153823971
You don't get any negative effects if he's not bonded, that's for one, bears have advanced intellect and can haul, that's two, bears will actively hunt wild animals allowing you to butcher the remaining cadavers. Bears hunt everything, including wargs. There is literally no better animal to have, because they are strong, smart and self sufficient. Also, they eat tribals for breakfast.

how often would i have to have colonists consume alcohol to keep them nice and warm?

>>153824267
we should be able to attach personal shields to bears and make armored bears

Raids are the most tedious thing ever

pacifist survival when

>>153824267
I'd rather use boars to haul and let them eat grass or hay.

>>153824320
Aye, we should also be able to bionically enhance bears.

>>153824816
What? Just slap a beacon on all your stockpiles.

Drugs sell relatively well even in 15a. It also help there's no drug-specific trader, all the bullshit traders, even tribal slavers will gladly buy all your coke.
i'm getting fairly rich this way so I'm afraid the storyteller will soon throw some epic shit my way.

Fuck off, it's either vodka or kompot.

what else can i do in rimworld

What are the benefits of keeping a pet muffalo?

>>153825632
wool

but alpacas are better for wool

>>153825704
Actually muffalo wool has better protective stats and is slightly better in cold enviroments, obviously alpaca wool sells like hot cookies.

>>153825228
>beer
>not vodka, kompot and mayonez

>>153825929

Still looking for answers

>>153821926
In terms of animal VS human with basic gear and fists as weapons, pretty much anything bigger than them. Panthers, Cougars and Bears are the best animals to train Release on though. Wargs are also good and Cobras are good because while slightly weaker they're super easy to feed and breed.

>>153802847
Bulk goods traders will buy your beds.
If they come from orbit, make sure the beds are near an orbital trade beacon. Those that arrive with muffalos will buy beds from any stockpile.

>>153826715
Yeah, I've been doing that since I noticed they bought the one I replaced a while back, as well as textile armchairs which are valuable as fuck. They still won't buy the dining chairs or tables though.

>>153826848
shit well maybe not those. All I've tried to sell were beds and batteries.

>>153827651
I figure it must be a recent change since the wiki still says they will and I've seen other people suggest I make em. I'll just break em then.

I got seven people in my colony with a potential eighth locked up and none of them can craft at all

should i be worrying or should i start savescumming to find a sculptor in a raid or something

>>153828163
>seven
>worried
I had a colony with fourteen people and none of them had any fucking interest in growing shit.
