Is the workshop actually implemented? I see all the ingame buttons but there doesn't appear to actually be a Rimworld workshop section.

I had to change some of the sorting options to get the mods to show up for whatever reason. A few of the decent core mods I like are there, like embrasures and vegetable garden and my new favorite mod "Work Tab". Finally I can micromanage my job priorities- haulers can haul materials to blueprints, but they're not permitted to build, that sort of thing. Also makes priorities 1-9 instead of 1-4.

So glad you can just disable ship part and mechanoid drop incidents, that scenario editor is the poo pooTony Montana posted:So the infestation thing seems like poo poo. They're loving strong, it's pretty much hosed a colony that in every other way was solid.

Just played an hour with the rich guy start. It's pretty fun once a few wanderers come in, though my poor monkey died instantly to a panther. The Katamari soundtrack is a bit too fitting for this game though.

I'm having some fun with a tribal start, having really really slow research is kind of interesting, as is not having electricity or anything for a while. As tribals also get tribal backgrounds and thus tribal skillsets, you tend to get a lot of good animal handlers too so it's interesting trying to offset their limitations with that.

I wonder if people redeeming their Steam keys counts toward the sales rankings? I hope not; I want this game to be doing well, and if it's only "number 1" through retroactive sales' conversions, that's still good for visibility but not so much the devs' bank accounts.

I guess roofs aren't automatically put in place anymore? Is that why I can't see room temperature on hover? We could do that before, right?

I dunno if that is the case, but even if it is, visibility plus a review rating of "Overwhelmingly positive" will get a lot of new sales just from the curiosity factor. spider wisdom posted:I guess roofs aren't automatically put in place anymore?

Yes you should be able to see a tile's temperature whether it's roofed or not. Also, yes roofs have to be constructed/deconstructed now - no materials required but there is a little labor cost now intended to make indoor fires more of a threat.OwlFancier posted:I'm having some fun with a tribal start, having really really slow research is kind of interesting, as is not having electricity or anything for a while. Yeah imo the game is wayyyyyyyyyyy more interesting and challenging to get going with tribals than the other options.

I can see a temp readout on hover but it seems to be global — doesn't account for indoors vs. outdoors. There's a number in parentheses just before the temp, but it's usually way off from what it should be. Dunno. I'll poke around a little more. e: I'm dumb, gotta build a roof first. spider wisdom fucked around with this message at 20:01 on Jul 16, 2016 |

winterwerefox posted:I havent played sense A8. whats a good mod list? I suddenly find myself unable to play without being able to customize my helpless little bean people Unfortunately the customizing mod isn't being updated. I imagine someone will pick it up. I personally enjoy hospitality and vegetable garden (and tilled soil I suppose as you'll end up with a million crops) as a couple of basics. All of those are on the workshop. As an aside, anyone been having problems with prisoners? Mine don't eat. Food is dropped off, but it's ignored, eventually they pass out and a warden feeds them and drags them to bed, but this isn't ideal (and due to mood they keep trying to escape as a result).

You can force specific traits for your embark team, as well as all the equipment and supplies which is like 80% what I wanted from Prepare Carefully anyway. Makes it a lot less tedious to reroll the random ones when you don't have to worry about making sure everyone has Cannibal and Gay

Well I just bought this, is there a getting started guide somewhere? I'm starting with a classic, no-mods kind of thing to get a feel for the game and I just got confronted with the screen where I randomize my characters and I have no idea what I want or don't want. Besides, according to the previous poster, gay cannibals.

Besides, according to the previous poster, gay cannibals. Generally you want a good spread of almost everything between the 3 starter pawns. The little flame marks show how fast they learn, so even if one starts lowish they can learn quicker if they have a lot of two point skills. You also have to look out for their traits which enable or disable some of what they can do, such as not fighting, not doing dumb labor like hauling (which is very important). So watch out for having too many negative traits. When I'm starting a colony I usually aim for one with at least one with social / medicine / whatever. Another with growing / animals / and able to all the dumb labor. And the last with mining / construction / crafting. And between the 3 you probably want 1 or 2 with some combat ability. Those give me easy archetypes to differentiate between my starter colonists. The doctor, the farmer, the miner, etc. Or any combination of those basic skills depending on what you get. If you want to concentrate on building a colony only I think that's a good place to start. But if you want to play the game for real it's more fun to just take what you get and make it work, although I generally try to get one really good grower or miner depending on the biome I plan to start on. Biome choices can make a huge difference on what to prioritize. Like you only desperately need a good miner if you're starting in large hills or mountainous areas. On the other hand it's easy to sit there for 10 mins trying to get great rolls, but part of the fun is having useless, crazy, violent dudes. I'd recommend when starting out not to worry too much about the perfect composition if you want a challenge.

As much as I like this game I think it could definitely use a more simplified way of generating your starting colonists. It's such a chore hitting random until you find the right stats for 3 different characters. It would be nice if there was a way to just customize them like say I want this guy to be good at such and such. Perhaps a way to just distribute points as you see fit. The UI as a whole needs some attention and I hope it's something they intend on addressing in the near future.

To be honest if you're just getting started I highly encourage you to try the tribal preset, because it has a much more focused set of early goals (make some rooms and beds, collect some food, make some spears/bows etc). You can certainly jump right in and start with the higher tech poo poo like solar panels and running electric cable and all that but it's a lot more laid back to just not have to worry about that until later. It's also a lot easier to learn to micromanage all your various jobs that have to get done with 5 people rather than 3.
