cant say im thrilled about the list of additional content. lovers' spats and asthma.. i'd rather have gladiator pits and space plague. i dunno, i still love the game (haven't played in a few months) but a lot of the interpersonal stuff, decorations, etc. dont do much for me. it's like- could u make it so that my miners haul a load back to base when they're heading home for the night? that would be a small change that i would greatly appreciate. i dont give a poo poo about multi-person beds, but a multi-headed alien? gimme some hydras! i dunno, i'm probably just seeing the glass as half-empty, but i feel like there's such potential for interesting mayhem, bloodshed, and catastrophic failure in this game but they keep adding things that remind me of the Sims. many of the newer features seem like annoying nuisances at best. social bonds with animals? marriage ceremonies? gently caress me.

You need to play dwarf fortress. Social drama and multi person beds is going to mean so much more horror and death than a few different sprites for monsters.

I like the sound of those upcoming features. I also like the idea of a beer binge ending in drunken rants and fistfights.

I hope they start hiding stats from the player until they've been part of your colony for a while, medical checkups required for exact diagnosis etc. Maybe have prisoners straight up lie to you and you need a good conversationalist to get the truth out. Sure that captured raider says he's a great doctor, but when he's plugging wounds with putty and curing cancer with cannabis, maybe it's time to take him off the job. Basically make the only clear indicator of skills their profession and hide their mental stats.

Bondematt posted:Low growing dudes can also fail to harvest. Usually best just to have one or two guys dedicated to it for this reason. Well I figured out part of it was my crops were being gobbled up by an apparent explosion in tamed animals I didn't notice. Still though, manually setting my devilstrand to harvest when I notice it is harvestable makes them show up, unless there is some weird thing where they die before they reach 100%. Does that quality (?) bar actually mean anything anyway? Clicking through all of them in my field shows a random assortment of 14/100 to 100/100 and I really dunno.

At a certain point you are going to need dedicated farmers cooks etc Play around with the allowed areas to make sure that your peeps don't go on all day expeditions instead of, you know, eating

He doesn't play purely optimally so his bases are always unique and he gets very attached to his animals. Aruba has some pretty entertaining episodes where he learns about fire.

The other good thing about Midnight Snack is that he generally doesn't make a huge backlog for his play throughs, so he's pretty quick to fix things or use advice he gets in the comments. I used to watch a few other guys videos, but it would get a little frustrating watching the same problem persist for 5 updates before the player could fix them.

Picked up the the Hardcore SK modpack. I like it because it has some decent difficulty settings and real progression where you don't start with research for metal stools but can also construct cryobeds from the get go because you installed that one mod. That said the progression is extremely grognardy and you'll have to craft basic building materials from the start.

I tryed that and I hated it because of all the extra loving about with materials. I had really high hopes for it, but it's just too much

I've lost a few colonies to malaria in the SK hardcore mod pack (gently caress that disease) but I learned that amputating the infected body part fixes it  A lot of people are down toes or fingers right now but I'll probably lose one of my best people since the mosquito got her in the torso while she was collecting boar. I like the little details like story event popups that accompany raids, they seem to incorporate your peoples traits because one of them mentioned cannibalism (all my guys are cannibals). I've finally established myself in a mountain pass I've walled off and roofed, with an unroofed section for growing potatoes and cotton but we'll see if I survive the winter with just a few parkas and no real heat sources.

"Tynan posted:Anyway, I'm happy to say what's happening now, since I don't have to guess at that. I've returned from my trip and am now fulltime+ on RW. Alpha 13 is in testing. Typically this phase lasts a number of weeks, but this one could be quite long given the amount of content that was added. Ison is on it full-time, coding, and I'm doing design and financial and legal work while getting back in the swing of things here. Unfortunately running a business involves ungodly amounts of paperwork. Sounds like the update will probably be early/mid next month then, taking his words at face value.

An actual update this time  https://ludeon.com/blog/2016/03/full-steam-ahead-towards-alpha-13/ Full Steam Ahead Towards Alpha 13 Hey everyone, just a quick update here. I’m back from travelling and am now working full-time on RimWorld. I’ve largely dealt with the paperwork tsunami that awaited me upon my return, so with my near-full attention as well as ongoing work from Piotr, the game is making smooth progress towards the Alpha 13 release. The private testers are currently banging on the test version, while we fix bugs and sneak in some final improvements. Usually this phase takes a couple weeks, though this one could last longer because there is so much stuff in this update. Because of the long period since the last alpha (when Piotr was working and I was working quarter-time), this is the largest update since the initial pre-alpha in 2013. I don’t have a release date, I’m afraid. I just wanted to let you all know that everything is moving along well. And I’m quite excited to see what you guys think of the new relationship system, marriages and lovers and breakups, social fights, fueled buildings, animal bonds, much more research, more better art, prison breaks, insect hives, on-foot trade caravans, and hundreds of other improvements to the game. After Alpha 13 comes out, we’ll probably target doing the Steam release. However, the Steam release is a game’s most important moment. One does not simply release a game on Steam. It takes a lot of effort and time to prepare a proper, decently-marketed Steam release, plus any time Valve might take to approve the final build. So there’s no date – just know that it is coming. ------------ Can't wait for this update to drop. I've been itching to play again (last I played was Alpha 10) but I don't really feel like starting over too much.

I actually would like it if there was an "acquired taste" mechanic, so that if a colonist partakes of the Long Pig enough times and has a breakdown as a result, then they should pick up Cannibal and stop flipping out. If I knew very much about programming I'd try to mod this in.

If I knew very much about programming I'd try to mod this in. Yeah I would like that too, more character development is always good and it'll go well with the new relationship stuff. If a more comprehensive character system makes it into the game eventually it would also make the backgrounds more important. For example primitives would have a hard time with technology but highly educated scientists from advanced civilizations would be better suited to these tasks, as opposed to farming or hunting. I hope they look at the skill system next and overhauls it from being purely numbers based.

What would be immensely helpful would be categorizing backgrounds. I can't count the number of times I've found two that seemed to match on paper, but were listed as "incompatible" when selected.

An update with a full list of things to expect for the upcoming A13 release: https://ludeon.com/blog/2016/03/features-summary-alpha-13/ (It's in testing now so presumably this is a final list)quote:Relationships That's a massive amount of new content, and should help to add some much needed depth. Extra research options in particular is something I really like the sound of. A more gradual progression from low-tech to hi-tech is something I often look for in mods.

From the latest blog post: quote:We’ve got no release date for it, but it’s in the testing and polishing phase. However, keep in mind that this is a big update and even with smaller updates this phase lasts for weeks. So probably some time in April would be my guess if everything goes well, or perhaps May if the testing/bug-squashing takes longer than expected due to the large amount of content.
