Yeah, blight used to just destroy everything in one go. Even so I still plant a field of Barley courtesy of Vegetable Garden as it's resistant to blight just in case I miss some pruning.

Flesh Forge posted:The traps are only to thin out the raids a little bit, and yeah no I don't mean vanilla especially, although if you started out Spacer and went straight to powered armor you could probably do just as well as with Medieval Times. Plasteel melee weapons and melee shields are both vanilla and are extremely cool and good. I do recommend a mending mod though, or something that lessens or removes equipment wear and tear because tbh it's pretty stupid to have one fight and have everyone's armor be in tatters. And colonists are such whiny fashionista about gear too, I think Tynan got a bit carried away with the amount of debuffs clothes can give. They should at least scale based on colony wealth.

The Dinosauria mod has completely changed the way my colonists hunt for food. Instead of using the manager desk to zero-effort hunt elk and boars, I end up drafting hunting parties of 7-8 shooters and head out in search of the giant sauropods. One Diplodocus drops 1800 meat, so you really only need one per season and a big rear end freezer and you are set. They, however, can be a real problem if the initial volley of fire doesn't bring it down since they hit like super-thrumbos. I'm really enjoying the mod.

The raptors and large carnivores mostly kill and eat other wildlife, with the occasional colonist attack. The only time it became a noticeable problem was winter in a boreal forest and no other wildlife was to be found. I think the added dangers are pretty balanced and are greatly offset by the rewards.

Last night I had a deer heard migration run past my colony. I figured, oh hey free meat, shot one and set the whole heard into revenge mode. Have you ever mortared a heard of deer trying to break down your doors? Turns out the pile of caltrops I put inside of my doors was a GREAT decision because they all bunched up on them. 2 shots for like 30 dead deer. Now I need to build a 2nd freezer before i unsuspend butchering.

The irrational self-destructive bloodlust of rimworld's animal life is one of my favorite parts of the game. While even ruthless sociopathic slave raiders crack under the pressure, this insane swarm of beavers will show you no such mercy.

Are there any mods that remove the negative effects of being drunk? Or the organ damage other drugs eventually cause? Quill18 is doing a DF run where everyone is an alcohol addict and it looks like fun but I don't really want to deal with everyone walking slower and having a manipulation penalty in addition to the logistical challenges of brewing massive quantities of alcohol.

The best way of taming dinosaurs is through buying their eggs off traders and letting them hatch, downing something and hoping the 1% heal tame thing happens, or random "became tame" events. The 20% critical fail is nasty. What's particularly fun of a drug run where there are no consequences?

EPORE lets you replace trashed organs and install ais to counteract brain damage. And I guess going full $1million pawn on everyone would at least mitigate the penalties of being high, if it's that much of a dealbreaker.

LLSix posted:Are there any mods that remove the negative effects of being drunk? Or the organ damage other drugs eventually cause? EPOE is the most hilarious and therefore correct answer. Its actually a very interesting idea. How would you whip a bunch of drunks into a free society of functional alcoholics? If I were doing it I would make a custom scenario of several scientists drunkenly crashlanding on their way back from a glitterworld medical conference starting with hangovers and give them Comms and the EPOE research tree to begin with, presuming they'd know all that stuff. Also I'd have plenty of ship chunk drops so they could quickly mcguyver their ship into something useful. I wouldn't give them guns, the idea of a bunch of drunken nerds staggering around with bows and arrows looking to kill a rabbit out of desperation cracks me up. I'm not 100% sure, but I think you could stagger out the colonist's allowed beer days by opting them into the policy on different days, that way insuring you always have at least one or two of them drunk. As for long term effects. Just have a drunk as hell surgeon start handing out free checkups for visitors and prisoners, I'm sure with his enhanced coordination the hospital floor will be covered in tonnes of healthy livers he can attempt to put into his fellow rummies in no time. And if they end up with brain damage from all the drinking he can perform brain surgery on them! And If that doesn't go as planned they'll at least have plenty of time in a hospital bed to get over the DTs since they probably lost a leg or two while he was playing beer pong over the operating table. You'd want to be keeping in comms with any passing nutjobs that happen to be looking to trade you livers and brain stimulators for booze because alcohol SHOULD be the solution.

If you install some of the Vegetable Garden mods, then you could also make various alcoholic drinks out of excess corn, rice, potatoes, or fruit you grow. That way you could put everyone on a "Every 8 days" staggered intoxication with a little micro - and make it so they drink 1 beer, 1 bottle of whisky, 1 bottle of rum, 1 bottle of tequila, 1 bottle of moonshine, 1 bottle of wine... and keep going down the line since there's also berry wine (in addition to grape wine). Then, at that colonist's assigned every 8 day bender, they just go and drink as many as they can before they pass out. This is too good of a scenario and you need to make it Steam workshop available with flavor text.

My favorite park of the mental break where colonists help prisoners escape is that as soon as they convince the prisoners to escape they go back to being a normal pawn and open fire on the escaping prisoners, making it seem like some sort of "The Most Dangerous Game" scenario.

The problem with how it is now is anytime you have a tolerance flag there is a random chance you will pop and incurable disease. So eventually they will get something where your only option is surgery if you are lucky or luci. Im not sure what pops for alcohol but the wiki has all the stats and diseases that will pop from each drug. You can juggle drug addictions to an extent but its a lot to micro and it always gets away from me and lord i have tried. Even on base builder your colony will be your enemy and its really hard to keep everything in check. I even bring a teetotal or two to babysit. Vanilla its way too harsh imo. Dont gently caress with pyros and ive never done alcohol colonies but id bet chemical interest would manage to kill themselves on a bender if thats possible on alcohol. If you have other drugs around they definetly will kill themselves its a matter of time. Disarm the poo poo starters and have plenty of clubs. Id probably avoid a strong melee character with any weird flaws because eventually that will get out of hand too. Strong social is good to get a quick turnaround on recruiting if you have to arrest any of them. But since they are all gonna be alcoholics you wanna build reserves because you cant rely on any of them. Hospitality mod helps a lot on these runs. Welp, i guess im firing up rimworld tonight lol.

I'm pretty sure alcohol's negative effects are some sort of (progressive?) liver damage, which makes you super vulnerable to infections and secondary diseases, even if it's not bad enough to die from the liver damage alone. You might be able to have a colonist stay alcoholic forever with no long-term side effects as long as they have a synthetic liver and they don't drink so much in a single sitting that they die from consciousness loss.

I had a chicken around people smoking smoke leaf get carcinomas. Sadly I didn't get to see how that ended as man hunter wargs killed everyone shortly after the diagnosis. Now that I can survive the early game and get a colony going that makes it past the first winter, I'm finding the game starting to drag. there isn't really much to build, I have enough colonists that most jobs get done without much micromanaging, and I just put it to full speed and wait for the next raid. What should I be doing? Is starting to run trade caravans the next step? I guess I should probably start doing the events on other squares when they pop up, but going to wipe out a bandit camp or whatever is slightly terrifying.

Yeah it's time to go explore the world. Pirate bases can be tough for a new player, so if you really want, you could send a single colonist on a recon mission to the nearest so you can get an idea of what you're up against. Most of my pirate bases end up being ~6-10 pirates with a turret and decent weapons.

Last night I had my entire barn light on fire when a boomalope spontaneously combusted. Still haven't figured out how it happened. 900 degree barn as my hay pile lit up. So now I have a chicken that is somehow alive despite not having a beak, or either leg and like 5 other burn scars. The rest of the flock roasted alive but like 3/4 boomalopes escaped. I feel that putting the chicken down is cheaper the the pile of prosthetics id have to make to fix it.
