Imagine somone with massive rips in their body and all their organs are hanging out because that's what just happened.

>>153953462
"Torso" is an amalgation of all the unlisted inner organs from your torso.

>>153953503
But there's just so many trees. I love the swampy maps from boreal mountains, but all those annoying trees. Cutting them down is a giant opportunity cost, if I don't turn them into walls.

>153953462
the torso running out of hp is literally the torso being destroyed

Aren't all the vitals listed?

>>153953821
try going into debug mode and open the health panel and click "all defs" or whatever it's called

you'll see the inner organs are destroyed too

also "scratch" is just a name for flavor purposes to describe an arbitrary amount of damage. it can be any size. this one is from a rhino's horn. if you mod in a gun that does 1 damage it'll give you tiny gunshots.

>>153953670

>"Please slavers, burn my whole settlement down with your cheap Molotov when you land via pod indoors."

Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

>>153954051
Why is it a scratch instead of a cut or stab? Like you said, it's a rhino's horn.
I wouldn't be butthurt if the injuries were actually serious.

I don't expect DF-level blood vessel simulation, but I don't see the point of using a system like this if you're going to make "torso ran out of HP from scratches" a fatal injury.
I looked at her in debug mode and the only hidden condition is the flu she got over a while back. No mention of her organs.

All food has the same nutrition value (10 units makes a simple meal)
And strawberries provide 8 units of food max per plant while corn provides 22 max
Of course, this is dependent on your grower's skill level and RNG

No it's not, not in early game. Especially if you're tribal. But stonecutting should always be the first research, and then you build walls out of stone ever after.

>>153964039
CCL = Community Core Library. A mod plenty other mods depend on. Kinda like Forge for Minecraft.

I think manipulation only affects construction/crafting speed. The skill level of the crafter is what affects crafting quality.

Just reroll until you get a legendary item, or cheat.

Assign work times to them from the Restrict tab. Normally they'll just do it according to their mood, which will usually work unless they have the Lazy trait, but for research, which is long-term and cannot be manually prioritized, you need to set a work period for reliability.

i have a shitload of trained grizzlys how can i make them haul stuff?

so i saw this tribal girl had a 97% difficulty to recruit after i saw 0.67% chance to recruit

seriously? there's like some kind of language or cultural barrier in place here that makes it hard to recruit?

Cant make shit go Pocahontas huh? Why did i have to look this up if i couldn't find a tooltip on why the difficulty % was what it was?

Devilstrand is utter shit and the only thing I could think of that gives enough leather for full sets of clothes is elephants, but those are fairly rare.

Alpacas and moos can have their wool sheered and it's generally superior to cloth and devilstrand but in exchange you have to deal with taming and protecting them.

I generally don't care about miners/growers when I roll my initial 3 colonists. I usually just make sure I have a dedicated constructor and a dedicated crafter, because those two skills are hardest to deal without, then I make sure I have at least 2 decent shooters, 1 doctor, and 1 social guy, among the initial 3. I wonder how other people do their role distribution.

Can you call the exotic traders? I haven't got my coms console up yet. I've been pretty diligent on where my components go and I still have storage space for more sculptures so it hasn't been a priority yet.

Is power armor even worth it?

it seems like by the time I get a set finished I'll have every ship tech researched

>>154022730
>>154023103
You can call any of the traders but only caravans, which rarely if ever have more than 2000 silver, so don't try making some 30,000 grand gold masterwork thing if you don't intend to buy most of the things they sell. Also get your rep with the factions up, since after they start being friendly on the console it costs less to call the caravans.

Also, anecdotal, but I seem to get fewer orbital traders when I've been calling caravans.

What's the big difference in tribal that makes it so difficult to do these things?

>>154031054
Research penalties.

>>154031054

Research takes a fuck long time is the primary factor.

But on top of that, events are just a lot more deadly without certain techs.

Raids are a lot riskier without turrets to help defend. To say nothing of the fact that your first guns will probably be plucked off the bodies of raiders and be shit quality.

Without a freezer, a crop blight can lead to mass starvation.

Heat waves or cold snaps can fuck you if you haven't researched advanced clothing and are still stuck with tribal wear.

God help you if you accidentally open up one of those cryotomb buildings and a mechanoid pops out.

Meanwhile every other colonist is fucking fine and dandy.

The last raid has like 4 snipers with some of them already wearing power helm and I only have one colonist that can shoot left, how fucked am I?

Friendly reminder that in 15c you have to save&exit and reload every time a colonist is cured of a disease, or else the malus won't go away. If any of your starting colonists started with cryptosleep sickness you need to reload or else you'll be stuck with 70% consciousness 60% manipulation for the rest of the game. If at any point you get food poisoning you have to reload or else you'll be stuck with 50% consciousness for the rest of the game. Don't find this out the hard way.

I need gold to finish my multi-analyzer. Trading caravans are rare as fuck, and the only time I ever saw an orbital trader was once, when I got a message that they were leaving. Even when traders do come, they never have the shit that I want, and I also don't really have much to sell, just some cloth, maybe a single small sculpture or two, maybe a dozen or so shoddy clothing that I threw away after my tailor couldn't tailor worth a shit.

>>154046437

You start by just selling a lot of shit to build up silver reserves. Clothing is a pretty decent way to build up early wealth if you have a good crafter since good quality clothes sell for a fuck ton and a good crafter can pump shit out quick.
