One other request, could you straighten out the rugs/carpet situation? in the module /all decor screen there are 6 or so carpets and rugs to chose from, i sometimes cant figure out what I made, so i cant place them.

ianmacdo posted:ok sent in. Okay. So here is the situation with this: You actually don't have enough materials. The problem is that phantom materials are appearing from objects that should have been deleted, seemingly due to animation timing issues. I think this has been in the game for ages, and it's just that nobody was burning through wood fast enough in previous builds to notice. Now that we all have power saws and all kinds of ways to destroy all your wood, now people are noticing. So. Action items for me: 1. Modules will have useful warning tooltips indicating what items are missing for their current job. 2. I need to obviously clean up some rendering timing issues. Anyhow, I'll get to work fixing that and we'll try to push a hotfix out tomorrow evening. (There's a few other little things to deal with.) Thanks again for reporting! In the mean time, the commodity count in the commodities window is *right* and will correctly indicate when you do, or do not, have enough planks or logs or whatever.

Finally picked this up, can't wait to carve out a settlement while waiting for eldritch horrors and/or starvation and/or bandits to bring the colony to a glorious ruin.

My first colony wouldn't build anything until they died from starvation, my second colony got wiped out by bandits the day after I got my first carpentry shop built (day 6), and my third colony seems to have a beetle problem.  So far my two notable issues: 1) buildings seem to be the bottom priority job all the time, even if I pause everything else when I've got the materials my colonists seem reticent to start construction 2) stockpile logic is far from optimal. Colonists love to make multiple piles of one resource, then spend the next several days compiling all of those onto a single square instead of just picking one square for a resource and then just stockpiling there. All told, I'm very, very excited to see if I can make it to using offices...

Buildings are equipriority from everything else, but it's possible that you just have a bunch of assignments queued up that are higher weighted by distance. I'll have a look in the morning. The stockpile issues are known and I really need to fix the damned things. It may be that you are creating too many mining/farming/chopping jobs and so nothing is getting done? Day 6 is a very long time for your carpentry workshop... I am glad you have enjoyed a beetle invasion!

I'd kinda prefer to just have people drop their goods anywhere on the stockpile and have it magically organize itself. It may not look as good but honestly the improved gameplay would more than make up for it. But of course having it work properly would be the best of both.  Will we be getting warehouses (i.e. indoor stockpiles)? I'm really tired of every animal on the map homing in on my food supplies and eating everything the instant I zone it, completely ignoring humans until one of them decides to start the shoo animal job and the animal instantly knows it and slowly runs away before coming back after a few minutes. Where's a gatling gun when you need one? Clear a landing zone before dropping down, it's common sense guys!

Another day, another set of interesting happenings. Colony three dies from starvation, so I made a new world and plopped down in a fourth. I was forced to make peace with the bandits because their entire squad save one member was armored with blunderbusses to my five untrained guys with pistols. I discovered the option to try and intimidate them, which led to the most amazing series of events. The armored bandits arrive and nearly murder my only actual soldier in red when out of the blue a neutral foreign legion arrives and wipes them out  A few days later I discover that I haven't done anything sufficient to maintain my colony's happiness and think a revolt will end colony four. Bug chat (non beta stream): If you delete an unbuilt module out of a barracks, it deletes the 'building floor ' for lack of a better word and you can't place any new modules because the barracks no longer counts as a building in the module placement screen. If you delete a built stone kiln for bricks it causes a permanent job slot for the missing kiln, but you can't add or alter jobs in said slot. e: Attempting to assign a crew to my public house, or attempting to mouse wheel down after clicking the assign crew dropdown causes a crash to desktop WebDO fucked around with this message at 05:09 on May 23, 2016 |

There's some weirdness when you load a 51 or 51a game into 51b, but it won't overtly break your save. Some things don't function properly, though (51a and 51b were hotfixed directly to the stable branch, so extra care was taken to keep them mostly compatible). You can generally expect Experimental Branch releases to break saves and force you to start a new game.

Overcoming that -10 quality for a 5 station carpentry workshop with beds should be fun I put beds in workshops all the time. Tanks the quality though. I usually make a corner with a bookshelf, desk, nice chair, rug, and a good bed for the overseer though. This will become cooler when i can assign that bed to them.

 Pictured: A deathwurm, having terrorized my outpost into accomplishing absolutely nothing for two straight days, nibbles on the commander of my armed forces while she flees in terror. Over by the stockpile, another soldier ponders whether these strange things called "guns" might do something to combat this menace before deciding that that's crazy talk. I'm thoroughly enjoying myself, except that every single thing that could be an annoyance was this time around. I couldn't even feed anyone because as soon as a crop of chili peppers grew the farmers would eat all of them. Scavengers would return their foraged food only to immediately pick it up and eat it. I even watched someone pick up a bushel of berries from the floor of the kitchen in order to eat them raw. I was gambling on sugarcane being edible raw when the deathwurm happened. And the kitchen staff were in some cases stepping around perfectly good piles of meat with orders to be cooked in order to idle in the kitchen. I mean yes, that meat did technically come from bandits, but it's not like they were human once they abandoned the loving laws of the Empire.

Might have already been considered, but have you gents ever considered giving every soldier or militia man the ability to ring a bell when being caught short or seeing something that requires immediate force as some sort of alarm that forces all those in uniform to grab the nearest gun and rally to the threat?

Speaking of tuning soldiers, making them use better weapons when you acquire them would be grand. The workaround of kicking them out of the military, forbidding their weapons, and hoping they'll pick up better stuff when you recruit them again is awkward and doesn't seem to work for commanders.

The soldier / weapon system was overhauled in the experimental branch; baddies no longer drop weapons for your colonists to retrieve, and every soldier will always have a pistol. You can give your soldier options for weapons by constructing the appropriate weapons cabinet in the Barracks (muskets, blunderbusses, Leyden Pistols, etc.), most of which require assembly at the Metalworks. The barracks interface currently lets you choose between weapons by clicking a button to select the armaments of your soldiers.

I think this sounds pretty great actually, I might have to switch to experimental. Not being able to loot weapons off of enemies seems odd though; I think being able to use fish people clubs against folks would be grand

Enemies could drop broken weapons that an armor/gunsmith could repair for a bit less than making a brand new one? As long as the broken stuff is classed as misc resource and not actual weapon maybe. I don't know how the game is coded but repair rifle requiring broken rifle material (like with say planks and wood) wouldn't be too complicated would it?

I seem to have a few odd stockpile counts. I'm also suffering from mass hunger - not quite starvation - and so a lot of my people are wandering off to far-flung fungus to forage for food. They keep taking whatever they happened to be carrying all the way out there with them, so i have boxed modules scattered across the map.

Quality food outputs 10 units, and I've started making kitchens only have two ovens to only have an excess of ~300 food. I ought to look into tinning to trade for, but I always end up selling ~300 bottles of booze for whatever the trader brings.

I've always been on a climate that has maize, and it doesn't require bottles as an ingredient, so I'm not sure honestly. Maybe just berries->basic booze, which is all you need for quality food/trading
