My understanding is that, graphics and sounds notwithstanding, it's largely handled by XML and perhaps some Lua scripting.

Demiurge4 posted:How easy is modding in this game? I'm kind of disappointed about the lack of big mods/modpacks that change more than a handful of things. Like there's all kinds of mods that add cool things but what I want is themed mods I can just get in one download that gives me everything It's all done in C#. Download Visual Studio Express and open the assembly / unity engine DLL's. You can even download a quick little .sln file to make it simple. I'm working on creating migrant waves, where based on your town's worth and friendliness with colonies you'll get migrants. Then I realized I'd have to balance it with more pirates and poo poo. You can do more basic non-source hacking with Lua and XML editting though.

Is there any way to specify mod precedence? I noticed that extended surgery mod breaks the zombie apocalypse mod for whatever reason.

And sometimes rare minerals, or you can discover a hidden valley that makes a nice defensive position. I tend to play almost exclusively out in the open, and make digging out a mega base in the mountainside my "Let's see how ridiculous I can run this poo poo into the ground" project.

Stele007 posted:The accuracy in this game is pretty silly sometimes. This colonist with a 13 skill in shooting and no impairments is unable to hit a stationary turtle in shock that is literally a foot away. I gave up after 10 bursts or so and just had her grab the snake that she killed while trying to kill the turtle. If you select your shooting colonist then hover over the tortoise it gives you a little breakdown of chance to hit based on target size, cover, weapon, etc.

Yesterday I followed that link in the menu to Tynan's blog. This one. I have to say, this dude blew my mind a bit. Some of that stuff on the first page, but really at the bottom there.. that post about The Simulation Dream. I was just skimming and I found myself reading the whole thing.. continually thinking 'yeah, that's exactly right'. Rimworld being as good as it is isn't a mistake, you can read as he goes into (at times perhaps excessive) detail about his processes and thoughts. Quoting design decisions from Ultima Online was always going to win points with me but as he goes into detail on the concept of apophneia I have to appreciate his perspective. His prototyping logic in development, don't spend time polishing just get new ideas in, quick and dirty and see how they fly.. keep doing that until you hit something that is obviously good.. seems to make a lot of sense. Glad to give my $30 to this guy. edit: ha gently caress, I've never even considered writing a mod but I have the skills and background.. he kinda makes me wanna try it for Rimworld

While I've done some light modding before, you can add a lot of simple things to rimworld pretty quickly with very little foreknowledge. You can add plenty of gameplay changes just by modifying the xml files to add new things for people to use, new things you can build, new things you can craft, and you can play with costs and skill limitations to add whatever progression you want. If you've got an idea for a mod, go for it. I wish my damned copy of photoshop worked properly so I could do more of it myself.

Yeah, content stuff is extremely easy as you can copy chunks out of the Core folder in /Mods/. Make sure you keep the base classes, as they don't get referenced between the files very often. For \Defs\ThingDefs\Weapons_Guns.xml the base classes are BaseGun, BaseHumanGun and BaseBullet - delete everything else and add your custom stuff as you please. I've spent the morning creating some custom embrasures and bean-bag turrets to deal with mechanoids (they have high piercing resist, but much lower crushing resist) as I try to figure out the system. Bionics are probably the most complicated content to modify at the moment, as you have to create the items, the health effects and the operations (humanoid and recipe classes). They're also very, very easy to make unbalanced. Cumulative thirty percent work rate improvements are nothing to be sniffed at. Making system changes such as how turrets explode or making weapons require ammunition is a lot trickier and would probably require DLLs, but if you just want to add new items, materials and recipes it's a very friendly system.

Does anyone have a list of melee weapons? The wiki only lists ranged stuff and I'm curious. This is what I've seen so far. Wood Chunk- Crush Damage 8 Shiv- Pierce Damage 8 Knife- ? Short Sword- ? Club- Crush Damage 14

The hover only shows chance% to hit like so:  The main reason turtles take ages to kill is the have natural resistance, if you select one and click the info tab it shows this:  50% Piercing resist and 30% blunt.

Yeah tortoises are annoying as hell, especially if they're the target of an all animals driven crazy event. For weapon damage list, spears do 15 piercing. I'm kind of surprised at how nice melee is in this alpha. I've taken to positioning a few melee guys behind a corner at the tunnel that feeds in to my valley, anyone that manages to make it through the sniper fire just eats clubs or spears. Hoping throwing weapons see a nice buff and increased variety in the future. Some form of AI check that will stop guys from throwing grenades at the one brawler that ran up to the rifle nest would be welcome. Skaw fucked around with this message at 19:33 on Oct 7, 2014 |

That tech tree minami mod is pretty crazy, in both good and bad ways. Good because it adds more progression, bad because you have a ton of intermediary crafting steps. To make a lamp you have to craft light bulbs  One thing I'd really like right now is to be able to equip my guys with both a tool and a weapon. That would be nice.

I wish colonists wouldn't be such huge loving babies. Oh you are depressed because you had to defend yourself? I'm sorry maybe gently caress off pussy. The game needs a "order colonist to sleep" button so the mental breaks will stop isntead of depressed idiots standing there doing the thing they hate over and over.

Look, start with some hard bitten colonists, only take in those that are sanguine, optimistic and not Too Smart, neurotic, etc. and use the rest as "organ donors."

Tony Montana posted:Yesterday I followed that link in the menu to Tynan's blog. This one. Dude, do it! We could use more mods made by competent, smart individuals! Find something you think would be good to add to the game, even if it's superfluous, like additional types of items within the context of what exists (like more lights, beds, turrets, walls, to name a few that're already done but could serve as an example of easy first mods to do) and get it done! Hell, Goons could help out with brainstorming, too. It doesn't have to be all a lonesome effort.

One of my colonists in a game of Rimworld I played yesterday was named Douglas "Black" Black, last name shown as his tag, who was a Winger (the rugby position). Guess who showed up as one of the buyable slaves in my current game? I freed him because he ruled last game. Poor guy, I dunno what happened to him between that game and this one, but I'm just glad he's in a better place with us, on a successful colony. I even captured my first sieger!

A general piece of advice is not to put anything flammable or explosive near the dormitory. Also try to put the dormitory under a mountain when possible.
