Had my first prison break tonight. My "tame a bunch of grizzly bears and restrict them to the hallway outside of the prison" plan worked flawlessly. Stay in your cells or get eaten by ursus horribilis pirate scum! Also, the one man I have in my 8 person colony has predictably married someone then promptly had an affair. Reality TV simulator indeed.

I have had cougars sneak into my base just to get at my one dog three times now. Unfortunately, the third, and final, time my colonists were asleep so by the time they got to the scene the coug had already started eating the poor dog. You'll be missed Xena, cougar bait.

Man, the father of one of my colonists was the leader of a pirate raid on my colony, forcing him to commit patricide. This game suddenly became a pretty great story generator.

Tias posted:E: It's long time since I've played. What do I need to know to survive? Research is now spread out a bit more. You'll start off with a plain ol' research table (smaller then the old research table, looks wooden) and then research your way up to the hi-tech research table and eventually the multianalyzer plug in. Some research requires the hi-tech research table, some requires the hi-tech research table AND a multianalyzer. The counterpoint to comms beacons being harder to get to is that there are now ground based trading caravans, so you're not totally isolated. Covski posted:Man, the father of one of my colonists was the leader of a pirate raid on my colony, forcing him to commit patricide. This game suddenly became a pretty great story generator. What I really like about this is that its a really subtle and "natural" way to nerf recruiting every pirate that gets knocked out raiding your colony. Sure, its an extra pawn, but is it worth the risk that he'll be forced to shoot his partner/parent/sibling and go insane?

The new EULA says you can ask for donations, but you can't make donations be the main part of your page. So making a mod pack and throwing donation links all over it is a no-go.

Phi230 posted:Should I be digging into mountains as my home or should I make buildings? Depends on which type of area you're in and your preference. For example, if it gets hot, it gets even hotter in caves. Also if you don't have any miners then its pretty difficult. I think in general caves are more defensible? It's been a while since I played, downloading the update right now

Caves actually get colder when you get far enough inside. I haven't actually tested that out, but it was mentioned in the update video. Supposedly the only way to survive in the extreme desert biome is to dig into the mountains. Deadly insects can also spawn inside mountains now, so that's a thing to consider.

Demiurge4 posted:How bad is it? I just pick up the ocassional mod pack but I don't bother trawling through them individually so I haven't been exposed. Well it's basically what Tenzarin said. Some guy compiled a bunch of other peoples work and did some 'integrating' and added a big rear end donation link about 20 times in his modpack thread and when the mod authors asked him to include a donation link for their work he said 'yea ok sure' never did it and there was an assload of drama involved around it. Which culminated in the modpack guy taking his ball and going home. Phi230 posted:I just got this game, first colony destroyed by two tribespeople with bows and arrows. I always dig into the mountains because it's just a pretty Dwarf Fortress with a few less options that I'm sure will be added in soon.

I do pretty much the same, I build a nice little village and then start building a doomsday bunker as a side-project when everything is stable. I'm also finding that the Pheobe storyteller is exactly my style, there's only a few raids per year but they're all just as intense as they otherwise would be and most of my time is spent trying to survive against the elements in the winter anyways. RIP Tara, the colony owed you a debt for sniping all those raiders during the siege, but couldn't get to you in time when that bear attacked

Generation Internet posted:I do pretty much the same, I build a nice little village and then start building a doomsday bunker as a side-project when everything is stable. The default storyteller's habit of constant raids is annoying and kind of silly. Maybe the odds of the next raid from that faction should be based on how many losses they took. If you slaughter their raiding party they should probably back off for a while.

Tynan talks about wanting a story generator, but they kept adding new threats and nerfs to common defenses to the point where it seems most of the stories being told are: 1) everyone dies 2) gently caress you. the standard response to a game that is unrelenting in its quest to murder you is to bunker up, but if that's not what you want players to do, maybe reconsider your approach beyond "bunkers suck now lol, also your colonists all caught fail aids simultaneously & here's a 50 man raid for the coup de grace"

Playing Cassandra Classic on Rough, things started out pretty smooth, but quickly ramped up. When I last left off, I had a sapper raid that killed half the colony while 2 of the survivors got gut worms, another the plague, and the only able-bodied colonist going berserk. My cook is dead, I have no food, everyone is sick, injured, insane and/or missing body parts. And I still haven't seen a single goddamn trade ship.

I started a Cass classic rough game, the raids are growing in size quickly, I really need stonecutting to make a kill box. No way in hell I'm gonna make one out of marble. One raid happened when I was drawing more power than 2 windmills can provide and the turrets were going on and off. I had to have everyone rush the one guy who got into the mountain. Thinking about making a large barracks instead of the 10x10 rooms I already dug for my 4 guys. Tenzarin fucked around with this message at 21:32 on Apr 8, 2016 |

I just make 6x4 rooms which are good enough to not get the cramped penalty with a bed, statue, plant, light, and heater. Speaking of lights, gently caress the 150W the default lamps draw. Need my mods back damnit, the default lights are absurd, 50% more power draw than a space heater. In the grim future of unknown Rimworlds LEDs do not exist.
