Garfu posted:I was just about to ask if there was a way to turn off skill decay yet. That's kinda why I stopped playing a couple alphas ago. I just bought the game and skill decay sounds annoying, so I made a quick patch to disable it for build 727. I've only done couple minutes of testing, but it seems to work properly. http://www.mediafire.com/download/46flbx41313yvur/disable_skill_decay_727.7z Just unpack into RimWorld727Win_Data/Managed and run apply_patch.bat. It backs up the original Assembly-CSharp.dll and applies the patch. I had to make it an xdelta patch because disabling the decay in a mod seems impossible or really hard. All this does is replace the skill decay method body with a bunch of no-ops, effectively disabling it.  into

I'm having the weirdest problem. Every time i download and install the game, ever since the last main version, i get a texture fault with the Muffalo graphics, so they show up only as red squares. No mods, no nothing, and its persisted through versions

Filthy Monkey posted:The decay for skills over 10 is kind of irritating. It makes it really hard to get some skills up. I started a colony with min, who is a special character incapable a shitload of stuff, but who comes with 15+ art and social. Even using her as my only warden and trader, her social skill is still decaying, and has gone down to 14. I've always wondered whether she's based on the kpop artist, feels like too much of a coincidence not to be.

Just had a giant spider called a 'Spindlecrib' go mad and attack my rainforest colony. I figured it couldn't be much of a thread since it was an animal, so I drafted two dudes with clubs to go kill it - and it downed them almost literally instantly; they inflicted a single bruise on it. It then proceeded to bust into every house in the colony, one by one, and incap or kill every single settler, without suffering any significant injuries to speak of. Not even the turrets slowed it down. I'm not sure which mod adds it, but those things are scary. They also seem to have a zero-second cooldown for their melee attack, which means they can just spam it dozens of times in the time it takes your colonists to warm up a single strike.

The "special characters" are early backers, I believe; there's a Vas who posts a lot on the Ludeon forum, for instance (I always seem to end up with Vas in my games). I'm guessing there was a reward tier where they got to submit a character outline, so it's quite possible that you're right and the backer based their character on Lee Min-young.

This loving game has seriously been colonizing my free time. :/ Managed to win my first game (Cassandra on rough, foresty type biome), got the colony up to 15 dudes and was half way through the ship when a bunch of those sluggy mech fuckers landed and totally tore me a new rear end in a top hat. After losing 7 guys to them, the others suddenly seemed really keen on finishing that spaceship. Good way to wrap the game up. Now for Cassandra on Challenge....

Randy on Challenge has been giving me a ridiculously easy time so far. It's just, like, cargo pods, cargo pods, cargo pods, escape pod with awesome colonist, huge loving swarm of traders, cargo pods, cargo pods, cargo pods, colonist just showing up and joining my colony, pirate raid of five dudes with swords...I'm starting to get worried that he's about to dump a hilariously massive pile of poo poo on me, because there seriously hasn't been a serious bad event in a couple of years of gametime now.

Any reason why this wont work with build 671? I'm guessing the files don't match and it just renames the original and does nothing. How can I modify it to make it work with my build? Don't really want to update to 727 and this sounds like a great little fix.

I played 2 different forts on the classic story teller and the hardest difficulty. Lost both. Man they really start ramping up the attacks. I also just played with the 3 people they gave me, and one was a noble and wouldn't do anything, so I effectively had 2 people. 3rd pirate attack was like 10 guys. Sniper rifles cut me and my turrets down quick  Second fort I managed to get up to 6 people, but then a heatwave of 135+ degrees hit at the same time an eclipse happened, and so everybody went loving crazy from heat and started beating the poo poo out of each other. Then a pirate attack came and politely killed anything left. I wish I could reclaim a fort. Have 3 new people drop down and bury the bodies of my colonists

Maybe we could update the OP with a few of the tips and tricks, some of the universally important mods (EDB Prepare Carefully, mod loader, and interface at the bare minimum), some basic info about colonist traits, who some of the special characters are (Vas, Mispy, Baskshire, etc.) ?

If you want to write a guide or link to guides you think are good, I can link them in the OP. I admit personally I would have difficulty knowing what people need help with given that I've played the game a fair bit so it's all relatively intuitive to me.

Alaan posted:I don't do Randy too much because i've had a few crushingly boring games with him. Yeah, my current Randy game has actually been more consistently peaceful and prosperous than the storyteller specifically designed for a game of peaceful prosperity. I'm just getting constantly bombarded with cargo pods full of free poo poo and well-stocked traders are constantly stopping by, year after year, for going on four years now. Don't get me wrong, it's kind of relaxing to build up a nice peaceful utopian frontier village, but I spent all this time designing these kickin' rad defenses, I'd kind of like to test them at some point. e: conversely, I've also had Randy games where I get sieged by five huge mobs of pirates in a row while dealing with a short-circuit, a massive electrical fire, and a bunch of raging animals.

The good news is that whenever you feel your defenses are up to code you can switch story-tellers and difficulty modifiers from the main menu, in case you weren't aware.

If you can get me build 671's Assembly-CSharp.dll, I'll create the patch for it. The patch only works if the original file matches exactly, so I have to create it again for every build (only takes a couple minutes).

So if you wanted to see the pop singer more often put it in there and you'll have a higher % chance when rerolling colonists for them to pop up OR if you don't take them at the start you'll see them in raids/visits/whatever fairly often. E: Only for backer names.

Generation Internet posted:"Operation has failed in a minor way" Reminds me of assigning no-skill dwarves to medical work in Dwarf Fortress. 'Well, based on my diagnosis, this man with a stab wound in his leg clearly shows the symptoms of an infection in his lungs, which I will cure by surgically removing them.' Also, that setup you have where the air conditioners (or what I assume are air conditioners) in each bedroom output their waste heat into the bedroom above them seems a little inefficient.

Might be vents if something like Central Heating got updated. While temps DO technically go through walls they do it quite poorly, especially on brick or natural stone. A heater or cooler barely nudges the temp of adjacent rooms.

They're vents. So they are inefficiently laid out, but because you should always connect vents in parallel, not in series. I learned this the dead-to-hypothermia way.

Yeah, they're vents and I just kinda slapped them down wherever before I even realized that tempurature equalizes through walls now. It seems to work well enough in the winter, though.
