Is it possible to make new settlements next to your old settlements to make a city?

they fixed the wild animal spawns. previously only the initial spawn was that bountyful, now there are always different animals present. Or does it depend on the biome?

Also: r8 colony

>>163402972
I don't think so. Most likely the colonies are completely separate maps, indifferent to the distance on the world map.

Man I really want to start in a desert with tribals but the lack of wood is killing my motivation to do so. Maybe I'll just start in a jungle instead and watch everyone die of diseases.

>>163403385
lack of wood is actually the best limiting factor in the early game. rush stone carving thing and you're set

>>163403598
Tribals don't have electricity and require a lot of wood to just survive. It's not that I need wood to build shit, it's that I need wood to fuel stoves and torches.

>>163403194
That's some interesting battery placement you have there.

>>163404539
explain?

central so if it exlodes, there are ppl around to extinguish

>>163404813
But if it explodes its surrounded by wood and can do some serious damage anyways, not to mention it could hurt the people around it.

>>163405473
chance to hurt people around it is low

wood burns as fast as grass, enough time to wake up everyone who is able to firefight

senpaitachi send help, how to delegate people
also fucking clothes and weapon making takes way too long

>>163408043
You mean like make people do certain tasks? Go to the work tab, check manual priorities. Tasks with priority 1 will be what the colonists focus on.

Aw shit nigga /rwg/
Did they nerf the hell out of medicine? I tried to install a simple peg leg and it't just fail constantly. I had herbal medicine, a level 9 doc, a decent room, eventually moved the patient to a sterile well lit room and it's still fail a bunch of times before eventually working
Took me like 20 herbal medicine, between the operations themselves and the subsequent cleaning up of the slaughterhouse that the hospital was after the failure

I've played for a while now and have a couple of questions.

1. Has anyone figured out if the "Zzzt" event is purely random chance or has something to do with the design of the circuits? Asking because it started happening a bit more frequently after I installed extra generators and it feels like running all that extra juice through basically one line straight to the colony might have caused it, but it could've just been the AI storyteller ramping up catastrophes over time. If it's purely random then is there any way to design around it to avoid having it discharge in sensitive areas? It blew right in my grow room during winter with toxic fallout going on, there was no food on the whole map outside of what I had in storage and I had to eat raider corpses and my three bonded timberwolves to pull through long enough to get it up and running again with the next batch of crops.

2. What's the cleanest way of getting rid of useless or actively destructive settlers? After the latest patch I've had a plague of useless pyromaniacs joining my colonies.

3. Are there any HOT TIPS to get settlers to do shit in the order that you want them to? Is there any way to get them to not be fucking idiots about fueling generators?

4. Why don't windows exist in the Rimworld universe?

>>163422737

I'm pretty positive that the circuit explosion event is random unless you have electrical equipment outside barring turrets, windmills and solar panels. I think geothermal generators don't play nice with rain but then again that's probably been patched out of the game.

I usually play in extreme biomes and send my useless colonists out into the wilderness naked in unarmed by drafting them. As for work orders, the only thing that comes close is giving them a tightly controlled manual work priority list and regimenting their schedules, but even then there will always be lapses in certain work to be done. I find that a lot of the work order lag in my colonies can be attributed almost always directly to the lack of colonists actually hauling shit. It seems that no matter how many fucking colonists and animals I put into hauling I always have stuff all over the goddamn place and my colony turns into a sty. I also can't understate the importance of having a dedicated janitorial staff cause colonists always get pissy when their environment is dirty.

You cunts are still kicking holy shit.

Haven't played since waffle defence stopped working, anything worth knowing happen?

>>163411374
Slavery should be added to the game officially through the Prisoner mechanics, surprised it isn't already. I want to be able to send my captured raiders off to a prison complex where they waste away mining and mass producing items until they eventually get sold off to other slavers. Also, bomb collars when?

>>163423156
I guess I could try setting up a janitor that also deals with hauling shit to the generators, the fact that it's handled under the "Hauling" job and not its own thing makes it pretty fucking difficult to keep it stocked. Hoppers really ought to be able to be used to supply generators since they're doing nothing besides stocking the nutrient paste dispenser right now.

>>163423209

Big new update added a world/invasion/caravan mechanic where you can finally invade pirate bases and build your own drop pods. Plenty of smaller changes as well surrounding drop pod launchers and some drug reworks.

Personally I think /rwg/ needs some traction on /v/ until it can come back to /vg/ cause its pretty rare for people to be just looking out for this shit. It's kind of like /rtsg/ -- dead until there's a series of threads about it elsewhere.

>>163423156
Yeah, I've found that you basically need a dedicated cleaner/hauler. Otherwise your cook will run onto the field to grab 10 potatoes to make one meal a piece, because he doesn't have the foresight to just haul a full stack of them and make 7 meals in a row or something
The AI needs some improvements in that regard, it's similar to how constructors will move one obstacle out of the way, then fetch the resources for that exact building, then haul the next thing out of the way and so on, instead of just hauling all the chunks out of the way in one go and then hauls the resources there. it's obnoxious, but pretty vital micromanagement

>>163423592

The only way that ensures your generators are always being fed is either have a huge excess of colonists that haul or by confining a certain colonist only to that area so that they don't fuck off and haul things from across the map.

You could cordon off the generators and the wood stockpile and a little path in between both of them and the kitchen/sleeping areas and your colonist will only do work in their allowed area. That's what I used to do with body hauling duty because I was always too lazy to build graves and I just had my psychopathic colonists haul bodies off into a fridge for later consumption since they didn't get insane debuffs for seeing a dead body.

preety sad /rwg/ wasn't autistic enough to sustain the general during dry periods

>>163423972
How about putting a woodpile in the general vicinity and having one guy on hauling and cleaning, with hauling as priority one, that is restricted to the base and away from all other stockpiles aside from food? I don't have time to start the game up and test it right at this moment but my theory is that with haul on priority 1 and the woodpile being all he can haul, it'd trigger hauling whenever the generators need more juice and priority 2 cleaning duty whenever they don't need refueling.

>>163424327
We could just join /cbg/

>>163423829
Like a check for 'preparation' before the actual work starts. Hauling resources there, moving stuff out of the way or cutting trees, eating or carrying food before marching to that designated steel vein 100 tiles away, stuff like that

>>163424492

You have to boil the mechanoids, not the ship.

>>163429793
I figured that they would bail if the ship was being damaged
Oddly enough, no mechanoids at all would spawn afterwards when I shot down the ship. Maybe I cooked them inside?

Why's only one of these firing off?

>>163430337
You need to grow more trees in front of them since trees attract more wind.

>>163430012
Could be a bug. Presumably every crashed ship has some number of mechanoids inside. Mechanoids have some SERIOUS heat tolerance (-100C, +250C) so it takes insane heat to cook them out.

>>163430486
It's the trees? I figured they'd reach above the trees given how high wind generators normally have to be.

>My little newbie can't be this new!
Point wind turbines towards each other to maximize space. Clear cut the trees, clear all the roof tiles (beware of thick roof mountain bullshit!) and salt the earth so nothing grows there again (or fill the space with solar).

Something like this.

Is it really neccessary to build tight on a 400x400 map? I always space out things to be nice.

>>163435576
If you have to ask, you're not autistic enough to understand.

>>163435576
Spacing out is important to prevent forest fires and protect against artillery damage. Early on it may be more important to fit everything behind your walls.

At the very least you don't want to waste too much wind turbine space because those open areas are huge. Also beware of placing too many side by side because last I checked they are solid invisible walls.

I have not touched the game since forever, but I saw that you could use a drug to make your guys super soldiers, at the price of killing them if they stop taking it
Is it possible to store these super soldiers in cryopods, only to use them when needed like in Demolition Man ?

>>163453102
Sure, why not? That honestly sounds pretty bad ass.

The only issue is that crypto sleep causes crypto sickness that lasts a day or so. So your super soldiers are going to be super sick.

>>163423253
All of this shit can exist via mods. From what I read dev is more focused on laying proper well balanced basis of a game. The sandbox that modders can freeily modify later on. Something in spirit of Minecraft but actually well coded.

I'm pretty fucking happy with direction that Rimworld is taking. It keeps on adding in without closing doors for more potential for later. Feels good, A16 mods can get funky.

>>163445469
That looks nice. I see some nifty mods. Were you also using the quantum stockpiles? They used to bug out in my modpack and didn't acknowledge some items to have bigger stock sizes than the other ones. After loading the game it just brought certain item from 600max back to something like 150 or 75 which basically destroyed about 450-525 resources of that kind.

>>163464107
I just make a air conditioned room to farm in

Will he add vehicles at some point? I think a high tech colonist walking half way across the planet is a bit silly.

Like dirtbikes, rovers, or even some kind of shuttle.

>>163472197
He added Chemfuelso I think it's pretty likely

>>163472197
New win condition is to get to the space ship that can take you off the planet.

You can still build your own but at some point in your colony you get a message about friendly AI giving a lift if you reach point on the opposite side of the goddamn planet. It's really damn far away. I haven't played with the droppods yet to find out how much fuel it'd take to just fly there.

What's recipe for ultimate killing machine? All bionic + luciferium?

>>163472696
In a power armor with power helmet.

>>163472616
I was thinking more of a 6 seat cargo shuttle that can "hop" to a distant location by consuming fuel.

Or better yet, have pirates land a shuttle that can be captured if they're all killed before they escape back on it. Shuttle could also be used to capture passing ships by boarding them.

What's the best way to make food early on?

Colonists always run out food even after farming

>>163476063
Potatoes. They grow really damn fast also if you are getting low just keep yourself afloat by hunting.

why the fuck is the usual cs rin ru website for this game asking for a login now god damnit

Is it coming from my mods or did they fuck up the hoarder job so no one isn't picking up anything even if it's the only thing my colons are tasked to do ?

>>163480396
Must be the mods

I can't decide what map to do now that all my mods are finally updated.

Arid, Boreal, Tropical, Desert?

>>163484307

I find that the only truly fun colonies are the ones in the extreme biomes. Colonies with no growing seasons in the ice biomes are probably some of the funnest colonies I've built just for the hurdles you have to get through for food.

>>163464107
the growing seasons are decided by temperature. If you can keep a room heated and access to sunlight or sun lamp than you can grow year round.

>>163484307
Arid shrublands, deserts and extreme deserts look the nicest imo, snow in this game hurts my eyes after a while.

Jungles are easy mode in the early days until your people will get sick, and that they will.

>using sunlamps

Those things take up an utterly abysmal amount of energy. I remember building a colony in an area with no growing seasons and was forced to grow things indoors. It was very difficult to meet energy demands of the growing colony. I learned very quickly that hydroponics was a bad idea for colonies with frequent blackouts.

>>163486757
sunlamps are fine if used efficiently and the space lit is maximized. Plants only grow half the day, so at night turn off the sunlamp to save energy. Hydroponics are shit though so you should try and find an area that you can grow on the ground indoors like soil or gravel. Personally I just spam solar panels and have a good set of batteries to keep me through at least 72 hours or an eclipse.

What are the most fun mods? Only one I got is expanded prosthetics for organ harvesting operations

>>163491350
Expanded Prosthetics is the only one I use honestly.

>>163491350
I'm using that, and my other favorites thus far are Gourmet 2.0 and Vegetables Garden.

toxic fallout is only dangerous if your food supplies don't last long enough. You only need to expand roof areas and confine your colonists to roofed areas and it is easy to sit out. Only dig into mountains if you are ready to take on the bugs.

>>163464505
Only saying it should be in the base game because I think forced labor for prisoners etc. fits the theme of the game. They've already got slavers and selling prisoners into slavery so I'd imagine some extension to the prisoner mechanics will make its way in eventually.

Dropped.
But seriously I've been waiting for it to go on sale to get it. $30 for an EA is way too much.

>>163501246

It's really not too much, though. It has loads of content already and has less bugs than many big budget releases plus you're going to spend at least a couple dozen hours on the game if you are into these kind of games.

Also you can always just pirate it

I just try a new game,
seem like they bump up difficulty or sth, now rough actually feels like rough and I started losing pawns 1 by 1 until there are like 2 left but bleeding bad
well fuck it and start a new game

Anyone think wearing death people clothes debuff is pretty shit, the effect could have worn off after a while

>>163502405
Get the mod that removes the RNG factor whenever a non-colonist is downed. There's a 67% chance that any pawn that is not part of the colony will die instead of being simply downed even if the injuries aren't lethal.

That way, most people you shoot will be downed and you can strip them before they die.

Wow just got lucky with a ship on the world map. Managed to escape after 63 days because I rushed Transport pods and used them to travel as far as possible, than raided tribals along the way for food because the trip even with pods took about 30 days. Was sorta disappointed that the game just ends, so I'm probably just going to play the backup save and just keep building my colony and purging/raiding tribal filth.

So does the new alpha allow you to travel to any spot on the map, or just event spots and faction outposts?

Still under construction, but this rec room is coming together fiiiiine.

It even has its own bar.

>>163504084
Any spot. You can even settle new bases if you want to. Have to enable it in options though.

For QoL cave base sake, I'd really like to be able to build walls right into stone without issuing two orders. Are there any mods for stuff like that or recommended QoL improvements?

One thing that bothers me is that workplaces now have a penalty when placed outside and/or the temperature is too low or high. I mean, I actually like the idea behind that, but it just makes it more important to plan your colony, which is something I suck at.

It's also quite costly to build a room for every damn workplace. Not to mention that cleanliness of a given room seems to influence things that get made there, cooking next to a butchering station for example seems to induce way more food poisoning. Food lying around in open or dirty places also seems to increase the likelyhood of getting sick from it.

Best way to train medicine? Mu doctor keeps killing all the prisoners he's supposed to steal organs from

>>163504929
drug the prisoner
draft your pawn then shoot him while he's unconsciousness
get your doc to fix him up,
repeat

>>163504929
Lock 10 prisoners in the smallest possible space. They will go berserk constantly and beat the shit out of each other but never get more than bruises, so you can farm doctor skill off them indefinitely.

>>163504929
your doctor should really have burning passion in medicine as it helps level up quickly to the point that a single surgery will more often than not hit the 4k learning cap for the day. set a plot for healroot, as herbal medicine is a nice training medicine for low skill doctors (below 11) while still giving ok treatment quality, and so good medicine doesn't go to waste. Don't try and take vital organs on the first surgery, but take something non-vital like an ear or the jaw.

Just start it over the exe

does the miner's level affect the amount of resources you get per ore vein/ chances of rock chunks or just the mining speed?

Since this thread is going to die, lets talk defenses lads. I see people build a small rectangle around the entrance to their base or try and funnel enemies into a 1 wide tunnel, but I completely disagree with that approach. A lot of weapons fire bursts, and a 1 wide hallway will waste those scattered shots compared to a wider hallway where the shots could hit an enemy raider. I also feel its better to build sandbags a bit away from the colony and with wide coverage so you have room to grow and more line of sight to shoot with. Enemies don't always go for the entrance and some might break down walls, so I feel its better to cover all possible directions of attack instead of hoping they attack the entrance and avoid a single sorry shell destroying all your defenses. Star forts also seem like a good idea but I haven't tried building one yet

Combat depends a lot on what mods you use.

I usally try to become friends with pirates (or turn them into tribes with save editing), mass-murdering savage scum is fun.

>beach, water slows down the occassional enemies who decide to go around
>3 tile of granite wall surrounding the rest of the base
>[mod]barbed wire 5 tiles from the wall, mines between
>2 granite bunkers around entry points
>6 arty's

Basically, as long as you use lots of mortars you will only have to finish off 20% of the enemy, most of them injured... The wall was just fluff to make the base nicer.
50% difficulty because on normal every attack slows the game to 2fps

How do I git gud? Keep trying to start as 5 filthy tribals but I never seem to get any maps with visible steel to mine.

I mean, you still need sunlamps, and some kinds of materials (food and wood) to make the soil, so is it really all that different from hydroponics?

>>163568715
More options will never make the game harder, only easier. That said, there's no such thing as cheating, only making the game too easy for your own enjoyment.

>>163569518

The game could use an ammo/magazine mechanic. Bonus points for creating a system of fumbling for magazines if the colonists shooting skill is too low.

Is it possible to make melee good? I'm getting bored of using personal shields exclusively for sniper cheese.

>>163570148

>make melee good

Not unless you're willing to lose half of your colonists to gunfire before they get to the enemy. The only time I use melee even remotely effectively is on the defense to either attack grenade guys or hold up any other melee dudes that leak through, otherwise I may as well be sacrificing my colonists to a hail of gunfire.

>>163570410
What if you attack at night/build defenses to funnel enemies into the melee grinder?

The main thing I'd be worried about is RNG crippling melee injuries by weaker enemies since melee doesn't make your defenses any better.

I've had social fights crack bones before.

So I opened some cryptosleep caskets, and out of them came 2 non-hostile dudes and 3 megascarabs. the scarabs and dudes were non-hostile to both my dudes and each other, and when I went to arrest the sleepers the megascarabs started attacking me. Does this mean that it's possible to tame the insects? Megaspiders seem like great melee fodder for dropping them right onto enemy bases

>>163571849

>colonists sleeping in caves

Those are prisoners, that's my prison block. Hence the turrets and prisoner beds. I had a raid with an extremely high amount of injured prisoners and I took them all in. Many attempted breakouts or had mental breaks the first few days in so unfortunately I was forced to remove their limbs.

My luck changed and a pirate ship came through a week after that pic and they still managed to catch a fair price, even though many had perished from infection or starvation.

>>163570610

That could work, especially with larger raids because retarded AI are gonna shoot their own guys in the back trying to get your colonists. Only problem is that you're still going to be dealing with a very high rate of injured colonists compared with strategies that focus on shooters. I still think that having a few melee guys to mop up stragglers is the best method, since they don't get in the way of friendlies and still manage to serve a purpose.

Yes, but people tend to do that after they find out a geothermal generator locked in a small room turns into a deadly fire trap. Generator catches fire, player tries to extinguish fire, opens door and kills everyone with blast of super-heated air.

Personally I love playing on frozen maps so the generator is the central part of my heating system.

>>163591964
No its not. Text at least gives you some need for imagination..

>>163590001

There are dudes who get off to nothing more than text. That's why people make and read erotic novels and have shit like corruption of champions and it's analogous erotic text adventure games. The game is there to set up the scene, that's what makes it so attractive some people, it's more realistic than your typical porno. It's also why there are so many people who actually play porn games instead of just straight up fapping to the CG set. In text based games you make the picture in your head.

>>163592017
>need for imagination
Just like simplified shapes.

>>163592017
>>163592920
It's the other way around: text describes it in detail, two limbless blobs bumping into each-other gives you so much need for imagination that the limbless blobs may as well not even be there. You're beating it to your imagination either way, the presence of the blobs just makes it autistic.

>>163593402

I've read enough chinese cartoon porno comics to know where pecker goes anon, all I need is a good story to set it all up.

Nobody is interested in the inane basic love shit in the game right now, it's all about the extremes. I mean if I can't force my prisoners to fuck a badly mutilated leg then I'm just not having fun or getting off.

>>163593402
It's not that the limbless blobs are required, it's just that Rimworld features them and sex mods could utilize what's already there to make interesting stories for people who are into imagination rather than visual stimulation.

A lot of what happens in Rimworld is already up to your mind to flesh out. A colonist losing a head or limb is not represented graphically, yet it's still fun to check the health tab to see what exactly happened to the pawn that died.

Seeing as how we can now have multiple colonies, would it not be somewhat easy to have multi-z now?

For some really weird reason i cant handle losing pawns.

Never gave the slightest shit in DF, but its making me turn on devmode in rimworld.

Maybe its because my 5 armored guys with SMG's cant kill a fucking tribalnigger with a bow sitting behind a rock, eventually getting headshot by an arrow

>>163601480
DF is waaay more massive in term of amount of pawns to control.

My largest colony in Rim was like 7-8 people, in DF thats the start and you can get 20-30 people per wave.
Its hard to be attached to them.
Plus also graphics makes them more unique and easier to attach to.

>>163601628
>more unique and easier to attach to.
Nah. It's just the fact that there's only a few of them and the dead fucker was likely to be the only one skilled in something and you need to grind that skill on the other unit anew.
In df loss of anyone is often not noticeable at all, especially considering that most frequent deaths are among conscripted cheesemakers.

>>163602076
>arid shrubland or desert

>>163602048
Thats also the reason but its a direct consequence of having 10 % of number of pawns from DF.

>>163602048
>>163601628
also the death spiral that develops after
for some reason all pawns in rimworld are hyper sensitive borderline shizos and as soon as someone dies, they literally immediately start a downfall into insanity.

all it needs then is them missing food because the games timeflow is broken and so they skip food, and bam they go berserk

First of all it looks like you built into a mountain, and thats never good as infestations can spawn in your colony then. Second why are your prisoner beds built so spread out? The -5 penalty for sharing a room isn't that bad. It also looks like your using way too much space compared to your colonist population and there's a lot of room being wasted.

I just separate my dining room, kitchen, and my store room, butcher in the store room, and cook and store food and meals in the kitchen. I keep it sub-zero too, since the efficiency drop isn't too big and it's not worth micromanaging ingredient locations.

you could learn how to use table stockpiles so that you don't have your guys going back and forth from the storeroom all the time

make a proper kitchen and a separate dining room because well-set out dining rooms give a small bonus

>>163620363

Two biggest problems I see are the fact that your batteries are fully enclosed and that you have a very long walking time from cold storage to cooking. This may not seem like a big deal but when you get 8+ colonists and have a dedicated cook the travel time to bring ingredients to and from the stove will start to take a noticeable portion of time from the schedule and the number of your meals will start to steadily decline.

Consider investing in auto doors and moving your cooking area closer to cold storage. Alternatively make a meal fridge and raw ingredients storage next to your meal area. Also double stacked regular doors increase travel time by a lot and don't really do much to keep the cold in the fridge.

Infestation events will trigger eventually when you mine out any rock that has 'overhead mountain' as the roof tile. You need to take that into account when building mountain bases or else you'll have a good chance of losing your colony pretty much instantly.

How can I see if its an overhead mountain? My whole base is overhead mountain but I can only now see that in areas I've already mined out, it doesnt tell me that if I mouse over unmined areas.

The only way to tell for sure is after you've mined it out. As a rule of thumb tho anything that goes deeper than a few tiles into a mountain has overhead mountain as a roof.

Raids were very rare and nothing had been challenging at that point. My only source of conflict was running out of food every few days and having to assign new animals to hunt.

The only stuff I really had to aim for was research and it was taking ages.

Whichever sounds fun to you. A16 barely came into play so a lot of mods from A15 still haven't been updated.

I used to play hardcore SK modpack which is combination of a lot of stuff. It make games really damn long, complicated and tedious at some point. After few days I realized it's getting more tedious and less fun. It ended up being a lot of micro managment and creating elements to create elements of elements of construction that needs more fucking elements made from shitload of resources.

From shit I'd take for granted get
Combat realism - for improved combat
Rimsenal and/or Glittertech - for injection of game content
Mine it all, recycle, defensive positions, allow tool - for amenities and small fixes
Maybe Prison extension and Hospitality - adds a bit of improvements to guest taking and second to holding cells and managing prisoners.
Eventuall, Mad Skills - for removing skills degradation.

Some mod or mods seems to mismatch the game version perhaps?

An infestation will pretty much kill all your colonists if it happens with your setup.

>>163629938
That battery placement is lethal. If your shit short-circuits than your prisoners will die, and you risk your solar panels getting blasted and catching fire. I would also recommend making enough stone blocks to refloor your bedrooms to stone tiles, as it helps with beauty and mood is very important as it increases work speed or cause tantrums if at the breaking point.

Wait, why? I thought since I have granite walls I'll be fine from fires, no?

>>163621675
I enjoy it, although all the Imperium equipment is late late game and reliant on new metals which might not spawn on your embark. I made a custom scenario of 6 dudes with lasguns and flak armor, but it turns out that shit rapes with lasguns getting like 5 shots per burst and the armor gives bonus to accuracy and like 80% resistance to everything. servo arms are really nice because the workspeed increase is almost necessary to complete the ridiculously long work required for ceramite and adamantium.

>>163632061
Granite is better than wood but it doesn't make it invulnerable to fire. Fire was buffed ( I think) in A16 and I've even seen steel and marble walls catch fire.

>>163632061
Any enclosed area with fire in it will slowly get warmer and warmer. At some point everything in that room starts catching fire and colonists gets burned even far away from actual flame just form the temperature.

It'll happen like that until fire manages to breach outside so temperatures can equalize. Then your colonists will be able to come close enough to start putting down the flames.

So what are the guidelines to a proper battery safety shed?

Ensure that there is a waking space on both sides of your batteries to help fight fires, keep them away from anything important and setup multiple battery banks with switches that you disconnect from the main network once they get full. This way even if you lose all your power to a circuit event you will still have some power for turrets or what have you during an emergency.

Firefoam poppers and vents to minimize fire risks are also highly recommended. I think so long as you make your walkways a single tile long you can keep large battery banks in mountains without fear of infestations since I believe bug mounds are 2x2. Make a lot of little battery banks instead of one big one.

I really like your open concept base with un-enclosed walkways. Pray to your game master AI to send rain. Alternatively send your colonists over to the fire RIGHT NOW before that shit gets on your base or you're fucked.

>>163634284
Build a steel shed away from your main colony and build a door and set it to held open in order to ventilate the room in case of fire. Only batteries that are connected to the power grid will short-circuit so in case of emergency you should charge a few batteries thaen reinstall them at a separate location that's not connected to the grid. The charged batteries can be reconnected to the grid if your shit short-circuits and you desperately need power. Alternativley if you have zzts just create a custom scenario and disable them

So what's the verdict on bases? Overhead mountains prevent drop pods from crashing through but are prone to infestation. What's best defense base design?

>>163636835
Unfortunately I had to close off the hallways due to the heatwave. Fire cooked my medical buildings and almost killed two people before rain came, but otherwise got out unscathed

>>163636891
I try to fit my bases in between mountains. Alternatively I build a three block thick wall of some stone around my base and de-home it. Most of the time attackers will funnel to wherever you have your opening. Drop pods and mortars are still gonna suck cocks though. It's either that or fucking bugs though so pick your poison.

Historically, Star Forts were top-tier fortifications due to covering all sides while still allowing your forces to present lots of rifles to the enemy

>>163637456
I find that rain comes almost always on Cassandra classic within twelve hours of a major fire somewhere on the map. Not sure if this is just luck or if it's coded into the particular AI's behavior to do that.

>>163639501
it's coded so fire doesn't lag the game

Update for anyone interested. Just finished researching most of what I need to get a good solar farm going, about to bring these poor savages into the industrial age.

I just realized the game gave me a brother sister pair named Green and Purple. Thanks for the dose, Doc.

Both games are too shallow in different ways. Rimworld isn't wide enough, that is to say there isn't enough variety of content. DF isn't deep enough, in that there's little actual progression and no end goals.

Speaking of which, are any of the content mods actually good or do they all just add broken shit to the game?

Does the game still do thays annoying thing where if you have too many colonists enemies always die I stead of become incapacitated?

Why is it my skill 14 ranged colonist cant hit the broad side of a barn with his LMG?

Fuck, thanx mate.

Also what the hell is chronological age?

>>163647218
Exactly what it says. If they jumped in cryosleep at 18 years old and were in it for 3000 years they'd chronologically be 3018 but biologically still 18.

Only YOU can prevent the forest fires - thaaat was one unlucky randy on rough.

I set up a game to test some mods and found annoying error appearing between some mods. I guess there is problem between rimsenal and combat realism that doesn't allow colonists for firing rimsenal weapons. Same Rimsenal equipment picked by colonists behaves like a blank item. You can't drop it, you can't wear it nor use it. It just sits in colonists inventory a takes place. Although there are two different kind of backpacks. Probably from two separate mods. I haven't managed to check if that was what was causing the issue.

So now that you can rescue to recruit, how good is it? Is it ever easier to rescue than to tame?

Another update. Game going smoothly. Everyone has just gotten married to each other except old Huntsman, who's two decades everyones senior and forever alone.

I've brought these filthy savage tribals into a beautiful age of electricity.

Ok boys I got money to burn, sell me this game. I played the fuck out of Terarria.

Well I kind of get its not like Terarria, I meant it as I played games with resource management, autism building etc..

>>163653792
It's a bit rough at first learning the controls but it's a blast to play. A lot of autistic detail can be put into base building and watching the character interactions and things such as drugs ruining lives happen is priceless.

Decided to try out the Imperial Guard and Cthulu mods and I'm really enjoying it. Decided to embark on a mountainous Ice sheet and it feels like the Mountains of Madness since it's so cold that the only other thing out there besides me is eldritch monsters. I had to rush geothermal power as for fall and night there's no sun to farm solar power off of. Farming feels sorta cheap though since I'm using that tilled soil mod that lets me create my own soil to farm on without hydroponics

Take solace in the fact that when make a new colony you may meet your pawns again in the world you have reset. Perhaps protect them better. Would you really want your qt3.14 waifu pawn on the frontline against a tribe of big-dick raiders?

Though not necessarily related to your question, I do want to touch on "savescumming."

A good way to ween yourself off save-scumming is just starting a new colony without any real ambitions or taking too much time to find a location. Try setting a simple goal like "survive to year 5" or simply rushing towards a spaceship victory. A lot of people get ahead of themselves like trying to re-create a Brotherhood of Steel base then get BTFO'd because they are mid-construction when, otherwise, preparations like a small bunker could have taken out the raid that destroyed you twice its size with half the needed colonists to thwart them.

A big problem people have with savescumming, at least in Rimworld, is that they see the enjoyment in making their sand castle but can't fathom seeing it destroyed when someone kicks it down. However, since they reset the world back to before the sand castle was destroyed they are far less likely to find out that they could have constructed a massive redoubt with menacing spikes to keep those beach bullies away.

TL;DR the habit of savescumming leads players into making bad decisions because they have a "fallback" option

Get chickens for your meat substitute. They multiply like crazy and each egg has tons of nutrition. Hunting is more viable and setting up an inestation farm can bring you a steady stream of meat, but if your PC can handle it you can get HUNDREDS of hens laying eggs (not to mention the free meat from the roosters not selected for studding).

>>163658981
Hot and dry? That's pretty much how warm deserts work. I imagine setting your planet to be cold and dry would also give you a tundra/ice desert meme, too.

>>163660198
People you "rescue" have a chance to either join your colony or walk away and leave on their own journey (rescued colonists from other factions give you a relation bonus if this happens).

Since he's moving away it's probably the latter. Go and arrest him if you want to recruit him on your terms.

By the way, opening those caskets can sometimes spawn aggressive NPCs. They're not armed ever, I believe, but they can swarm a single guy if you're not careful.
