We've been moving through these threads fast, do you think we have enough (you)s to last the winter?

Glory to our patron saint, adictcat. The cat endures cancer so that we may not.

Does anyone know how one can disable factions? I really like the medieval times mod but I really dislike their factions because they always lag the game when they appear and they aren't that interesting to fight. Their traders are shit, too.

How do I get rid of crappy weapons in my stockpile besides selling them?

Anyone have programming or modding experience here? I'd like to ask a few questions.

>>164462123

You need a huge hay field and a someone basically making ice as a full-time job, but you can get food storage to 1C with enough of it.

Keeping the base lit and warm is easy with braziers, but you need a constant supply of wood for them.

If you get mechanoids, prepare for fun

>>164462302
incinerator to burn them
smelter to turn them into raw steel if they're made of steel.

>>164462338
if you are talking about modding mount and blade ask away

>>164462123
It has nice new textures and makes the transition between the different techlevels smoother, if you start with tribals. Still want to know how to disable factions, I've looked into the factions.xml but I'm not sure what does what.

Post defense designs. I want to see what you anons have.

So I guess I figured out how to disable a faction (or to increase their number of bases on the map):

<requiredCountAtGameStart>0</requiredCountAtGameStart>

1 is the standard value, which means that that faction will appear on the world map. If set to 2, two factions will appear, so if you set the outlander faction to 2, there will be 2 friendly factions with different bases on the map. 0 obviously means they won't appear and the dev mode isn't spitting out any errors, too. So I guess this will work.

<factionBaseSelectionWeight>0</factionBaseSelectionWeight>

Probably means how many faction bases will appear on the map. So if you want your world littered with bases everywhere, increase that.

Oh shit I just noticed some held open doors. I tried arresting two people and neither of them were right. I am gonna watch my pawns real close now.

I need a good weapon mod that doesn't add bullshit overpowered things, shit that just doesn't fit, and that isn't Combat Realism: Bugs Out The Ass edition.

>>164462982
Oh wow, I wasn't expecting such a good answer to that question so quickly. I might consider doing this with some of the glittertech factions.

>>164462982
This is very helpful to me, thanks a ton my mane!

>>164463053
LewisDTC's weapon mod and Rimsenal are good. The latter is now much closer to vanilla balancing and doesn't add overpowerd shit anymore. The weapons are still very strong however, as they are considerend late game additions.

Medieval Times is also nice. If you use it with LewisDTC's mod, make sure to delete the NeolithiicRanged.xml that comes with Medieval Times, though.

>>164463053
There's Glittertech, but the weapons are pretty stronk there as well. Never tried CR so I can't compare, however.

>>164463150
Rimsenal is a pile of shit. It's unbalanced, half the shit in it has bugged sound effects.

>Glitter Tech's weapons are ridiculous
Haven't used the mod since the update hit. I kinda like the weapons it has, they look and sound nice, but they really need to be toned down by a ton. They dwarf vanilla weapons in comparison.

>>164463302
LewisDTC's seems fairly alright, from what I'm looking at so far.

>>164463356
Tried his a while ago, same issue as 20th Century Weapons Pack. A lot of the weapons, like the Dao-12 in 20th Century and the P90 in RT's are just ripshit retarded and will tear anything apart.

>>164463398
Looks-wise, they're alright, and the sound is fine. Balance wise, they're fucking insane and they ruin the game. If Commandos siege you early, you just fucking lose unless you're doing some sort of ridiculous cheese strat shit too. It's kinda like Medieval's retainer raids. A thousand guys in fullplate with personal shields, and they just fucking wreck you.

>>164463213
Glitter Tech does have some weapons which are absolutely fucking retardedly overpowered. I'm still using it for now, but I've gone in and edited the numbers for weapons that I see that are blatantly broken, like the projector gun that fires a 50 damage explosive energy blast with a range of 80 and the accuracy of a rifle, twice a second. I mean sure, I could have just bought i from the store and had absolutely no issue defeating any enemies until other guys using broken weapons showed up, but that doesn't seem fun.

>>164463404
Seconded for DTC. It adds a bunch of neat, tiered weapons that are nicely balanced and fit aesthetically into the game perfectly. If you're looking for more weapons that fit seamlessly into the vanilla game, I don't see anything wrong with DTC.

I don't get why people sperg out so much over high-tech weapons. An assault or charged rifle makes neolithic weapons useless and high-tech makes the vanilla endgame weapons useless. What is the point of adding new stuff if it ends up being the same as vanilla, just with different looks?

If you get those over powered weapons it makes all other factions on your planet even more of a joke than they were before.
You might as well just uninstall because there are no more struggles. You have won.

>>164462982
NICE! That's some shit I love to hear.

It makes me wonder how does it work in comm systems though. Does it increase amount of colonies that you can trade and communicate with?

also were there mods to increase amount of activities you can do through the comm system? Hospitality kinda does that but it's about guests on the map rather than calling them.

>>164464138

>an assault rifle that fires 12 10 damage rounds every second at sniper rifle accuracy and range
It's not that they're high tech, it's that they're broken. A few colonists with assault rifles can still be beaten by a dozen tribals with bows and swords. A single colonist with aforementioned broken rifle can destroy pretty much anything in the vanilla game, as well as any other mod content that doesn't add in equally as overpowered gear.

>>164464217
Not if these factions also have access to these weapons? They'll outnumber you greatly anyway since your wealth skyrockets to insane levels.

I'd rather play with unbalanced weapons that enable you to actually use the combat instead of relying on killboxes.

Fug, turns out animals can break doors after all. They came at us from behind, i had no time to rearrange my defences. Sad thing is, most of those wounds are from crossfire. Turns out bringing all my turets in one place is not such a great idea. Good news is, i don't have to worry about food for the whole winter.

>>164464342
Do they have a path around them? They will never walk over (and risk triggering them) unless there is no other way

>>164463659
Rimsenal: Security - adds really fancy and interesting turrets. They are expensive as fuck but feels nice and are pretty different one from each another.

You shouldn't use them if you are doing old good killbox. I play with them only because I find killboxes boring as fuck.

>>164464229
Options in the comm systems are based on the number of factions available, not on bases. So

<requiredCountAtGameStart>2</requiredCountAtGameStart>

Will add a new entry in your comm station because this will spawn two factions instead of one. However they will be essentially identical other than that they are two factions and angering one won't bother the other one.

That's the problem with most modders. They tunnel vision on their idea of cool new stuff and forget about the game they are modding.

>>164465030
Modders have no obligation to anybody, you can add whatever shit you want to the game. If you like certain aspects of a mod and dislike others, the best thing you can do is change what you dislike and keep what you like. You don't need to, the option to wait around for somebody to make exactly what you want is always there.

>>164463612
Never tried DTC so I can't say a word about balance aspect but I prefer going from scrap tech through the quality firearms of our times all the way up to the future tech.

DTC seems to hold it somewhat in modern technology.

There's the hospitality mod that lets you run a sort of bar/hotel for visitors. In Vanilla the ones passing by are just there for you to rob or kidnap.

>>164463480
Not really true. Just get Rimsenal: security with rest of the mods. Early game enemies go after you with just ferals and shit tech somewhat like tribals. If it's actually some high tech fucker he's mostly alone or paired up. You can deal with those with early accessible constructable HMG's or LMG's

Maybe Randy is more of a bitch if it comes to raids but... Randy is Randy. Don't expect fair from him.

>>164464475
It's absoluetly inhuman early on but enemies also have access to these. They are becoming useless against armored targets later though. Same you have to try and armor up to survive these raids.

I'm not saying it's perfect. I just prefer it. Sci-fi is more fun to me. Even if it means bigger discrepancy in balance between certain raids. I believe it's balanced enough in general.

They can break doors, but will only attack them if they see a pawn go inside. If you can't deal with the pack militarily, just wait it out and turn off the turrets. They'll eventually fall asleep and then start pathing away, and then you can attack without fear of retaliation.

There are still tribal tribes that isolated themselves or never even met the rest of the world in our times. If there are to exist low tech tribals I'd think they are just living off the land.

What kind of a question is that? Download anywhere you can find them. They do work concurrently.

I consider must haves to be:
JTReplaceWalls (allows you to replace rough-hewn walls with built walls or change wall material without having to mine first and then re-designate)
Prepare Carefully (allows you to tweak and save colonists for embarkations)
Quality Builder (will allow you to force the highest-skilled builder to construct)
Medical Tab (everything you need in one view)
A Dog Said (will allow you to build and install prosthetics in animals for when they lose all of their limbs to friendly fire)
Packified Animals (now you can haul with more than just muffalos and dromedaries)
Trading Spot (because traders hanging around in your fridge is fucking retarded)
Enhanced Crafting (expanded options for crafting)
Lovely Hair Style (Especially important!)
Moody (monitor your pawns' moods in one window)
Defensive Positions (lets your group and remember positions for pawns)
Hand Me That Brick (haulers can haul material for constructions)
Allow Tool (because having to single-select all the dropped weapons and apparel of raiders is stupid)
Shutdown All (like above, but for mechanoids)
Minituarization (now you can move those production tables out of the way without having to rebuild)
RefugeeStats (now you'll know whether to tell that guy begging to join yes or no)
Programmable vents (closeable vents, either by hand or by temperature)
RimFridge (now you can have actual working fridges in your dining room)

Then there are some really nice additions that won't break the game (too bad) like EPOE, Psychology, Prison Extensions, Fences and Floors and Hospitality. Avoid shit like Glittertech like the fucking plague.

>>164472576
I think surgery is completely broken right now as in the failure chance is far too high, which may have to do with

>Operation difficulty being set too high
>Medicine (which has been nerfed) being a big factor in success chance
>Low light levels reducing success chance by a lot (indoors always being 50% unless you have sun lamps)

>http://rimworldwiki.com/wiki/Medicine
>As of Alpha 16 (December 20th, 2016), the below table is obsolete as 'good' treatments are replaced by a treatment quality value ranging from 0-100% (so completely random despite it being the ''good'' outcome, applies only to treatment? or does surgery get this nonsensical roll as well?)

Consciousness (100%), manipulation and sight (both 40%) all factor in but how? Surgery success chance stat is obviously useless because it only shows the base success from medicine skill, and no other factors.

When treating plague, does the quality of medicine actually do anything except increase the chance of getting a good treatment rating? I just got hit with some plagues (pic), and don't really want to throw all of my medicine at the problem if it doesn't do anything.

How to deal with plague:

1. users/yourname/appdata/locallow/ludeon/rimworld/saves

2. ctr+f "plague"

3. edit immunity to 100

4. continue playing your game and having fun instead of dealing with the ridiculously buffed A16 plague that has almost no chance of survival

It might seem that way but you have to take into account that one year is 60 days in Rimworld. Getting cancer or w/e because a few days of drug abuse sounds silly at first, but not so much when you think about that Rimworld uses a massively compressed timescale.

If drugs would show negative effects only after a few years there wouldn't be any reason to not let your pawns snort, inject and smoke everything.

The problem is that the issues are permanent, and the possible negatives far outweight the positives. You simply cannot allow ANY social use for ANY drug, because the chances of getting cancer or cirrhosis jump up explosively.

Sure you can just excise cancer, or replace the organs, but with the medical system being as retarded as it is, you risk losing the whole pawn if you attempt surgery.

I have two suggestions regarding the thrumbos. One is to just leave them be, and kill every other animal on the map. The animals self-tamed event can target thrumbos, and is the most common way people get them. Don't try to tame them, the chance of critical failure is much greater than chance of success.

Then, when you have the thrumbos, you can keep them or slaughter them at your own leisure.

Another suggestion is to abuse the way animals love to use drugs. Wait until they sleep, then put some booze, weed, or crack/coke near them, and wait for them to start ODing on it. After they OD, you can easily kill them.

This is actually a much better idea, time for ibex genocide. I'll try and get them to OD so I can doctor-bond them too.

If I put a stack of joints nearby will they eat them or do I need leaves or something?

>>164484027
If I wasn't watching him do shooting practice because I had nothing better to do, the colonist would've died without any notification or anything that he's in danger.

It's the same shit with hunting. You shouldn't have to babysit them when they automatically start doing a thing that involves shooting. It could very easily be fixed by adding aim time or pausing the action until the colonist is out of the way, with when you manually tell them to shoot they'll shoot and not care what it hits like they do now.

Seal up your geothermals, anon! It's free heat that you can move into your rooms!

Clever move of finding dirt under the snow and using it to skip hydroponics, though I would still suggest hydroponics for future expansion unless you have more soil hiding somewhere nearby.

Double walls are a significant improvement, so at the very least do that. If you want to go nutz you could do like 4 walls thick, but that will take up a lot of space.

I think the walls have different insulation values but I can't find them at the moment.

It's almost cheating but it makes an arctic run a lot easier when you're a bitch like me.

PSA:
Walls do not have insulation values. Do not go any further than double walls; the game won't care. All it does is check the temperature on the other side of the wall surrounding the room.

It depends on the pawn's sex. Male pawns prefer 18-27 year old women at any age. Female pawns prefer men within 10 years of their age.

>>164463398
GT weapons are poorly balanced and the modder has no intention to balance them until he's done with his revamp of the mod (which has an undisclosed release date). Really what bothers me with that mod is the commando raids. He fixed it so they only raid after 150 days but that only works for vanilla story tellers. Tribals start+commando raid=mike tyson curb stomping a four year old.

If you want really OP weapons, see RT Weapon's Pack. Most of the weapons there have 2x the dps of their vanilla counterpart... Rimarsenal is the only popular weapon pack I consider at least a little balanced in that they're better than their vanilla counterparts but not THAT much better. The two factions the modpack adds (the Federation and Feral) also look very nice, aren't too powerful, fill a niches the base game is missing, and are pretty lore friendly.

Speaking of Ferals, I can't wait till Tynan adds more stuff to word maps, like insect hives, mechanoid hives, abandoned settlements, ancient ruins, landed pirate ships, etc. Combined with some good loot, I could see people sending out scavenger caravans...

About to prepare my first real embark into hardcore SK temperate forest, any veterans have any tips on packing? I know I'm gonna want to bring seeds and wooden planks at the very least, and weapons and ammo ofc.

Why does a daze last so long? It's fucking insane and she was our best doctor in a time of need. I was going to club her with a slate club (6 melee damage versus wooden one being 10 wtf?) but she developed immunity to her plague so I left her there.

Basically got
>plague for 6 characters
>RAID
>Solar flare
>Zzzt
>FEMALE PSYCHIC DRONE

I almost lost 3 people to the plague because the drone drove them insane. One went berserk, two went in daze all while still not treated so I had to use a weak club to beat them to death. Good thing Devilstread clothing is very good against blunt damage so clubbing them down was doable.

Closest call so far of being wiped out by fast events happening quickly after another.

I'm not a huge fan of diseases. I think they scale too hard to the size of your colony, leaving your doctors overwhelmed because a) the doctors can get the diseases and b) you probably don't have that many doctors.

You are right. Daze lasts way too long, I honestly wish people with the wardening skill could attempt to calm people with mental breaks down instead of needing to wait them out or tackling them.

Foolish thinking. Have at least one doctor per five colonists, and keep them on penoxycyline.

hcSK in A15 used to give you one mounted heavy machine gun and 100 bullets. Place it well andalways put your best shot on it. Remember to count your bullets and use single shoot if possible. That thing will save your life against raids and bullets to that are hard to get.

>>164496684
There's an a15 version? I'm using a14e and I still haven't embarked yet but I'll look for that. I'm packing a fighter with a good personal weapon too, but who knows how long he'll last.

>>164495639
Yeah, I got that doctor bit down but I should probably try out this new penoxyclyine meme. Are they any good? I haven't suffered too hard from diseases in A16 yet but I imagine they might have a purpose.

>5th Summer begins

>>164495639
You say that like it's an option in the beginning or when you're tribal.

>>164497495
The problem is that if your doctors are down with the plague along with everyone else, nobody is going to treat, and if nobody is going to treat, everyone is going to die. You can drag the doctors out of bed and force them to treat the disease, but then they will accrue immunity at a much slower rate, and you risk them dying. And that's only in the early stages of the disease, later on everyone will be bedridden.

And another big issue is that the AI likes to throw raids at you while you're dealing with plague, and if you don't have doctors available to treat possible injuries, you'll be in trouble.

>>164497092
I just checked. Sorry my bad. I was convinced I played hcSK in A15. It must have been A14 then...

What I know for sure is that A16 version of hcSK is currently being tested by some folks over on forum. I'm waiting for that one.

Am I lame for using tilled soil/veggie garden to place soil on ice sheet maps? I could go with a ton of hydroponics tables but I just hate laying them out.

>>164497543

It's a bit lame since they cost more to maintain and build but we shouldn't be here to ride you hard. Though the point behind arctic runs is basically a balance between a fun biome and a challenge so as long as your having fun that's all you need to worry about :3

Though I do suggest hydroponics for that outpost aesthetic sometime.

I won't lie, that's the dream.

>>164498773
Maybe you had too much power in the grid for your fuses to handle?

A fuse can take a single hit of 3000Wd, a single vanilla battery can store 1000Wd, which means the optimum fuse to battery ratio is 1:3, if it is any higher than that then they will not be able to prevent electrical fires/explosions.

Hydroponics give a growth rate around 140-160%. Base gravel is about 70%. Fertile soil and the highest tier tilled soils give around the same fertility.

I only use hydroponics when I don't have normal soil available. In this case, I'm doing a challenge in an arctic biome.
