Lost my first game. Started out with someone moderately good with guns, a surgeon with a disturbing passion for shooting things and an ex-kingpin that was quite good at talking to people and seemed to have a knack for cooking. Things go alright for a while, then a new settler appears! A naked fat man called 'Cat' that was simple in mind, but had good common knowledge of farming and such, also liked animals a little too much. Then the raids came, I only had a couple turrets set up, so I'd draft my colonists and open fire on the pirates, murdering them pretty hard despite them having advanced weaponry, though they usually inflicted some serious damage, including blowing off said ex-kingpins left leg (it took me a while to realize why he wasn't getting out of bed, then I gave him a peg leg). This wouldn't have been so bad if he weren't pushing 50 and had cataracts, but my housing was nearby so he didnt have to go far to cook meals. Then came the second problem. I built my housing with a geyser inside, which kept the temperatures at ridiculous levels, making already miserable colonists have mental breaks routinely. Eventually I walled it off, but then came a heat wave which nullified it all (at this point I realized I was woefully unprepared power-wise to even think about keeping air conditioners running). After a few close calls with heat stroke, more raiders show up and kill Cat as he charges in with a knife. I eventually repel them and tend my wounds then send people out hunting again. Then the third and final nail in the coffin occurs, my surgeon runs in front of a hunter and gets his stomach blown cleanly out. This would have been a very bad thing if he didn't patch himself up perfectly (sans stomach) and would spend hours (ingame) trying to eat food before going back to work. Eventually another raid happened, one pirate had a incendiary launcher (or whatever it was called) and lit a building on fire ( a rec room I was constructing to try to stem the tide of mental breakdowns, you see). After taking minor wounds and repelling them, one of the colonists goes to put out the fire and....catches on fire herself and passes out before it can be put out, then another colonist comes and manages to put it out, but not before previous person gets horrible burns and suffers major burns to her right arm herself. Now, my surgeon hadn't starved to death yet, but was now suffering from heatstroke and slowly dying in bed. The one colonist with severe burns starts to develop an infection in her left toe and I decide to have my ex-kingpin (whom is surprisingly the most unscathed and sane of the bunch) to amputate it. Now, I know he wasn't a very good doctor, but somehow he managed to critically flub it and SEVER HER SPINAL CORD (I assume, I saw a grayed out damaged spine message in the health screen) and had cut up her torso as well. The other burn victim fortunately succumbs to infection from her burns before he can practice his craft again. Also at some point during this, my surgeon finally died from heatstroke. I decided to at least bury them in nice sarcophagi, but found out that the ex-kingpin refuses to haul. Then he went berserk and attacked some boomalope or whatever they're called. This was my first (albeit poorly written) Rimworld experience. I started a second colony and used the prepare carefully mod and brought a shitton of chicken eggs with me (fertilized). Too bad I didn't think about keeping my chickens heated during the winter and they all froze to death. Also I have a nudist that seems perfectly fine in -10 to -20 celsius weather. Earlier one of my colonists mined the last bit of steel from what I later realized was a load bearing node, which lead to her head being cleanly knocked off. Losing is fun!

IAmTheRad posted:Is peaceful play still an option if I just want to make a town without having things jump all over me? As others have said, adjusting the storyteller will result in rare and very tiny raids. However, if you do build a sweet base in peaceful and decide it needs a little more blood, you can use dev mode to spawn raids (and force them to assault) I only mention this because its incredibly fun.

So can roofs get damaged? How do you fix them? I had a fire break out in one of my indoor growing areas from a lightning? strike. Every time it rained after that, one of my sun lights would short out and start another fire. Hovering over the room would say "constructed roof"

Also make sure its a "closed room" with four walls (or whatever) and a door. The roofs won't generate unless there's a door.

Tias posted:Getting into this again.. Holy poo poo are elderly colonists hosed from the get-go! Usually I have some bums show up and join of their own volition, it's kind of annoying because I prefer to cherry pick from raiders so I can get good colonists, and building a cryo vault to store all the useless ones in is a bit expensive. I also get periodic radio calls from fugitives which you can accept to gain a colonist but face a raid, or refuse to gain nothing but also not be raided.

The power line around the house is not connected to the main circuit (as evidenced by the fact that your lamp is taking power from the lines on the right and not the line right below it) You need to add another two electrified walls between your right line and the freezer. Edit: too slow

Place Turrets 4 spaces away from themselves and other things you don't want blown up when they are destroyed.

Tho if you put a single metal wall between them they'll be protected from the blast, it just limits their firing arc

I hope someone makes another modpack that's just fun stuff that plays well together so I can be lazy, as opposed to the two modpacks on the forums now which are 'be forced to micromanage every colonist constantly and research every usable object.'

Tias posted:Getting into this again.. Holy poo poo are elderly colonists hosed from the get-go! Elderly colonists having a host of problems is perhaps understandable, but one thing that bothers me, and has done for quite some time, is the large number of characters in their 50's (i.e. old but not elderly) that have the frail trait. I just started a new game myself (my first in about 5 months) with a woman aged 50 and another woman aged 52 among the starting colonists, and sure enough: both frail. Except for people who had led extremely unhealthy lives or had medical problems throughout their lives, I don't I've ever met someone in their 50's I would consider 'frail.' Bad backs, bad knees and the like, sure, but frail is a pretty big step beyond that and something I would typically associate with advanced age, like 80 year-old grandmothers puttering around with their walkers or whatever.

In case you don't already know, you can check health problems when rolling new colonists. Then again, I never have that problem because I start with two people with maxed skills in everything on randy random at its hardest. Still challenging enough but mining and constructing and stuff doesn't take forever.

The concept is cool but the execution is terrible. I don't know how or why any modder that actually plays the game would include it in a modpack. Ifor the seeds spawned on the map in intervals or dropped from animals, that would be neat. Buying them from orbital traders is way too prohibitive.

I just got this game and could not figure out how to build things out of anything other than steel (I got it now i'm dumb...)... This resulted in me having a huge steel shortage all game... which means that while my buildings are holding up great... I have skimped on my defenses and everyone is shot up to all hell. I think one guy is missing an arm and a leg, another person lost their kidney, another pegleg person. Someone was on fire for a while... but now I have chickens so everything will be okay... right?

I would like a mod (or full-fledged feature) that would allow you to attack settlements via the world map. I really enjoy the combat and strategy necessary to defend yourself, but it quickly turns into building tons of turrets and sticking your colonists somewhere safe as enemy numbers increase (though the recent sappers update has made that less viable). It would be great if we could raid the settlements of other groups and maybe eliminate raider strongholds. It seems like there's at least some foundation for this in place as the different factions are noted on the world map. I guess that would involve procedurally generating and balancing enemy settlements, which can't be trivial, but it would add a lot more, especially since Tynan doesn't seem to be doing much work on the end game and it's fairly easy to reach once your know what you're doing. Otherwise, I'm having way more fun than I thought building a relatively peaceful farming settlement. This is a good game.
