It's called 'Streamlining our resource dependencies.' You use corpses for everything, then focus your business paradigm around the procurement/production of corpses on an industrial scale. You'll become a market leader in the corpse economy. Technobarbarian middle managers.

We haven't been doing this from the start? Someone forgot to tell you mate. For those in doubt, this is not a death camp simulator, it's just a playstyle that works. I tend to roleplay my colonies, and have done both organ farms and a everyone-must-be-redeemed. Making a ship for 20 guys that expand faster them I can gather materials for the ship is normal for those games.

Has anyone managed to get ImmersiveBodies working at all? its a pretty cool mod that gives you the ability to basically turn your colonists into cyborgs, with sub-dermal armour and synthetic organs and such like, but for some reason, all the sub-dermal implants (which are all contained in a single file) don't appear in game. In addition, none of the implants which do appear are added to stockpile definitions so there's no way to tell your colonists to take them to a stockpile. I've asked the mod author, but it seems to me like its a clusterfuck of poor organisation as the ImmersiveBodies has been split off into its own thread seperate from the other Immersive<X> mods apropos of nothing, so I'm wondering if its just broken altogether for the time being.

Not that I know of. I'm fairly certain I need the NewRecipeNurse mod to help integrate stuff, but I'm making sure I'm loading it after ImmersiveBodies. From investigating the files, there was a typo in the file in the <storeCategory> tag, I changed it to BodyParts and now the imlants appear and the errors vanish. Now however, there are no options to implant the sub-dermal stuff. I looked at the I_install.xml and none of the sub-dermal stuff is there. I feel that the mod may have been uploaded unfinished, so I'm going to try fixing it myself tomorrow. I assume adding the relevant recipes to this file will enable the mods in game, but I guess I'll see. PiCroft fucked around with this message at 01:20 on Nov 20, 2014 |

I have two people in my colony who got brain damage fighting in its defense, which halves their walk speed and manipulation. One of them is also Lazy (-15% walk speed) and the other has an Old Gunshot in the torso, which gives a further 20% efficiency hit to just about everything the brain damage affects too. I accidentally let the one with the torso injury still have crafting jobs on, and she took so long trying to smelt a piece of scrap that it caused a starvation warning to pop up. Her lazy retard compatriot nearly had the same thing happen because I left hauling jobs on for him and he went to help clean up the site of a defeated siege. Now they have no jobs on but "patient" and "cleaning" because I can't bring myself to euthanize them or harvest them for organs.

Yeah, I had two hulking braindead guys with peglegs walking around like that too. I put them on growing and cooking, because my base was big enough that they'd almost starve to death on their way back from cleaning the entrance.

They can also haul without arms.

swampcow posted:just when I thought I knew all the various cruelties in this game... They don't haul automatically if you take their arms actually, but you can tell them to manually by prioritizing. So I put some simple prostetic arms on my recruited organ farm. A bit slow with peg legs, missing kidney, missing lung and prostetic arms, but it works. The place is clean. Got a prisoner now with a serious brain damage, 10% effectiveness on related tasks. Not sure if it's worth keeping her as a cleaner even, there really is not much more to clean. So chopping and selling probably.

I'm looking forward to when modders develop a way to add armour-like stats for implants. At the moment, Immersive Bodies hacks it by making the sub-dermal armour implants apparel that you wear. Wanna make my Borg hive.

I'd love a brain implant that wipes out intellectual, artistic, and skilled labor tasks while also neutralizing morale and maybe screwing with skill gain to a point (e.g. permanently freezing skills left over). It'd be great to convert the lovely captives you might pick up into servitors/cannon fodder.

OwlFancier posted:Looks like we're in bugfix mode according to the changelog, hopefully that means release soon. No, he's going to start slowing down between releases to get more time. The game is good, but I don't think it's feature complete yet. The tech tree is really rudimentary and feels very tacked on right now. There isn't much progression. I think he is still mainly in the thick of it. quote:I believe I can maximize long-term output by reducing the number of actual releases and being able to just work with the game in an unstable state for longer. Because that’s where the good super-productive period is: when I can simply pour in features without constantly worrying about every little bug that might be getting introduced. I want to expand that period of the release cycle proportional to the testing period, to maintain a good ratio.

I know he said that, it's just usually when it moves onto bugfixes only for a few days it means release prep. Would especially make sense if he's keeping it unstable otherwise during development, we'll see though. When I say 'release' I mean 'next version release' not 'the game is finished'.

So in case anybody was wondering how to tear up floors it turns out fertilizer pumps will convert any sort of ground tile that is not dirt into dirt, including mud, stone tiles, concrete, and metal tiles.

Generation Internet posted:Soon our colonies can have timeless god-emperors. Oh man, that sounds great. Somebody has an incurable disease and you're out of medicine? Stuff them into cryostasis until a trader comes! Your psychopaths dont get along with the rest of the colony? Freeze them until you want to Low on food, but high on corpses which decrease the mood of most colonists (which along with hunger could make them all crazy)? Freeze everyone but the cannibal.

I might use these cryopods for storing reserve colonists until such a time when I can make use of them. Making a colony whose purpose is that they guard a cavern full of "sleepers" sounds like a worthy project. I should wonder who I would put in longsleep first; maybe the nobles and scientists whose usefulness are exhausted, or strict pacifists who would not lay their lives down for the good of all. Maybe the abrasive ones, who mean harm to our harmonious existence. Or perhaps I'll keep a cadre of soldiers, fit, healthy and forever young, untouched by the ravages of age, woken only at the advent of combat. Maybe during times of low medical supplies, I'll use them to quarantine the diseased and the perambulatory brain-damaged ones until such a time when I can mend them.

Oh god yes. Cryo pods will literally be a freezer for you cannibal colony. You can store fresh meat until you need it. If organs and body parts also decay in the future, you can store spare parts in the pods as well. That braindamaged dude you have cleaning? Stuff him in the freezer until you need the parts, save food costs.
