Does embrasures, shields, personal shields, or laser drill require autoloaders? I'm not using the other ED mods and thought I didn't need autoloaders.

no they don't, afaik. embrasures are just a wall type, shields and laser drills don't need anything but electricity to work

The errors for Project Armory appear when ED-Core is also activated, regardless of which one I activate first.

that's weird idk what to tell you other than my ED is super finicky. try going to PA's thread on the game forums and see if anyone else has the same issue? seems like two popular mods a lot of people would be running concurrently.

Also, quick question about laser drills, do they centre the new vent in the 4x4 area they cover?

yes

Everything was going well in my small colony, I was laughing at my one-eyed (remaining eye had cataract), one-armed and one-legged colonists attempts at hunting tortoises with a shotgun when suddenly YOU'VE GOT MAIL: HALF OF THE COLONY NOW HAS MALARIA :magical:

Mind you fending off a siege party that dropped in soon after (I haven't even researched mortars yet) with my best gunner down was very hectic. I somehow managed to provoke them into an assault by sniping a couple of their guys who had wandered off to munch on their rations in privacy. I really need to get some outer defenses up, currently I've just fortified my ramshackle colony with embrasures and sandbags like some sort of sprawling hobo space castle.

One of my colonists is a 15 year old girl who is also my 20 skill points medic and crafter. Awhile back she tried to go mono e mono with a mechanoid, had her right arm shot off, and was generally turned into swiss cheese but managed to survive with only the missing arm as a long-term injury.

Naturally, I've been waiting for a trader with a bionic arm for sale to show up, and finally that happened.

I replaced her left arm with it by accident. :downs:

The brilliance of my posting illuminates the forums like a jar of shining gold when all around is dark
When I was first learning the game a few weeks ago (whichever day I posted "Mengele Simulator") I captured a mad scientist from a pirate raid. However, in the course of learning how to extract organs from live prisoners, I must have pressed the wrong button because my mad scientist removed his own liver. He got it all the way out and packed in one of those boxes before he laid down and died.

Then his pirate buddies came back in another raid and stomped my poor colony into the dirt.

Would be cool to have a mod where you can do hosed up human experiments (remove and readd every organ possible) to ramp up a person's medical skill, and add a bunch of new enhancement tiers (between 50% and 200%) that depend on how skilled your doctor is.
Would also be a neat way to make use of prisoners. :shepface:

AI core ship lands, my small fireteam of three uninjured colonists (one with an M-14 EBR, one with an Avenger M8, and one with a UMP-45) manage to kill the inhabitants without significant injury or losses.

One of my colonists just took a frag grenade to the face, and was promptly replaced with a bloody smear on the ground. EdB interface showed him as MISSING for two days. He took my best weapon and armour with him. :smith:

I was being sieged so I woke up all my colonists in the middle of the night for a raid, nobody else died and I was unable to save one of the attackers from a stomache infection.

Right now in vanilla the closest you can get is replacing eyes, arms, and legs.

This mod has almost everything else (minus torso/spine), and replaces the brain with multiple parts, some of which can be enhanced.

Yeah, I've noticed this with auto turret explosions. Explosives must have a chance to instantly destroy the body when they kill people, or the damage is just so high it does hp damage to the corpse, like burning it does.

This is one of the most addictive and fun games I've played in a very, very long time. Building a mega-death-fortress is fun.

I have a question, though; are there any retroactive mods? I don't want to make a new colony yet, but would like some more to work with. Any suggestions?

Colonists made into full body cyborgs should run off and join the mechanoids.

Rimworld makes me feel very very scared because of all the hosed up poo poo I've been doing. I mean, let me just grab my recent Puush history:

I've never skinned or cannibalized people and I try to recruit every person I capture instead of harvesting their organs, I feel like I'm playing the game wrong.

I do, however, strip the corpses of attacking enemies naked and then leave them to rot and their bones to bleach in the sun. Unless they're in areas my colonists will go regularly, those get cremated. Enemies attacking my otherwise pleasant and idyllic frontier village are greeted by hundreds of human skeletons surrounding it.

Some people just are not worth the effort of recruiting and you only realize this after you've captured them. I'm not out to be Mengele or anything here, but executing them seems pretty inefficient when you can monetize them instead, and let me tell you, you can sell organs to a lot more traders than slaves.

Cannibal colonies are fun because they're so confronting and also a big challenge. Your colonists will be on the verge of mental break pretty much constantly

I used to punch my raging prisoners who went on mental break; now I just step a bit away from them (since they can't keep up, due to being restrained) and shoot them. Most of the time, it works great, and is a ton faster. And if it's an accidental headshot, well, that guy deserved it anyway.

Dunno if you play with advanced defense, but put an embrasure facing into your jails if you do.

The storyteller is getting increasingly pissed at my long-lasting fortress now. Had a loving drone ship crash into my trade stockpile, literally inside my base, then had 30+ pirates attack (only to get absolutely mowed down by my shitton of turrets), and finally had every loving animal on the map get pissed. I honestly think there were more than a hundred. The turrets couldn't keep up with it, the animals broke my door down, entered the mountain, and started flooding the hallways. I managed to kill them (thanks, Dominik, based cyborg), but had to call it a day.

At first I was annoyed that harvesting organs required a medkit since prisoners were a waste of supplies. Then I realized that the kits were being used to keep the ORGANS healthy, not the prisoners, and all was right with the world.

I kind of wish you had to store organs in a cooled environment. Solar flare in the summer? You better get those hearts in some bodies or they're gonna go bad.

The possibility to transplant rotten organs is fascinating. But then I'll need a life support bed to keep them barely alive :unsmigghh:


Seriously what the gently caress is with this game and making me want to torture people who attack my base.

On the contrary I really really hope that they stick with 2D because for whatever reason I find it a lot more entertaining. Maybe it scratches some particular itch or maybe it's just more straightforward that way, I don't know. I stopped caring about DF after Boatmurdered for that same vague reason.
