Kibbles n Shits posted:Is there a mod that lets you specify a quantity of an item to keep in a stockpile? I wonder if this is even possible within the game's code. I like using increased stack sizes and deep storage but I also want certain items in multiple locations for accessibility reasons. For example I want to keep one stock of herbal medicine in my drug lab and another in my prison, but the stack in the prison doesn't need to have more than 20 or 30. It would be nice if there was a "mini" stockpile you could use for instances like this. In addition to the other mod mentioned, Rimworld Search Agency also adds a slider that lets you set a maximum % each tile in the stockpile should be filled to. It does work with Deep Storage furniture, but the search functionality itself has this aggravating bug in 1.2 where it sometimes switches back to old search results on you.

I once had a pawn with fibrous mechanites who was incapacitated despite only being in mild pain, too, not really sure what was up with that since the tooltip suggests that they shouldn't be randomly downed like that. Didn't wake up for several weeks until I got sick of it and used dev mode to remove the mechanites, and then he immediately woke up

QuarkJets posted:Are you sure? I thought it was the equivalent of the sudden death slider for colonists, but for enemies, and turning that down definitely lets colonists survive hits that should normally kill them 100% the sudden death slider for colonists is the chance that a colonist who took a fatal shot will survive anyway - so a head/heart shot will leave them with 1 organ HP and give you a chance to scrape them up off the dirt. the sudden death slider for raiders modifies the chance of them dying instantly when they fall over from pain.

silentsnack posted:You might also want to mess with the custom difficulty settings because the storyteller has a chance of just instakilling any downed pawn (normally for playerfaction+prisoners it's zero) and the chance of being able to capture enemies is reduced depending on your population. With the Cassandra storyteller personality the chance of instadeath goes to 100% if your population is >20, I think Randy's hardcap is 50 colonists? One piece of evidence for this is that you still get a bunch of auto-deaths when you only have one colonist.

ShadowHawk posted:My understanding was that the storyteller population limits affected the odds of getting population-increasing events and the recruitment difficulty of prisoners, but that the "automatic death on down" was always the same. I may be misremembering and/or otherwise wrong (wouldn't be the first time today) and things may have changed since I last bothered messing around with that but at least in vanilla ~b19 the minimum chance of instadeath seemed to start somewhere around 50% with 1 colonist and went up to something like 95~98% at max population (before considering the need to use smashier guns to stop late-game raids.)

Speaking of mods, I'm running Android Tiers and some annoying things that can happen are androids showing up in crashed escape pods who shrug off the damage and leave before you can capture/rescue them, and dumpy T1 androids showing up as quest rewards. If I use KV faction control to eliminate them from my world, will that make them go away while also being able to build them on my own? I don't really care if there are android factions on the map, I just want to play around with the skymind stuff later. But when the aforementioned things happen it can feel like being robbed of a potential new colonist. Kibbles n Shits fucked around with this message at 18:04 on Sep 12, 2020 |

I started a new boreal forest game and very early on, day 3 or 4, something like 10 ducks wander in. Fantastic, I think to myself, this will keep the stress over having enough food down. Instead it causes even more stress because every single otter on the map makes a beeline for them if they are outside for even a second. I'm stashing them in someone's bedroom and only able to let them out to graze for an hour or so a day. One unlucky colonist has been mauled not once but twice and lost an eye defending the ducks. I don't even have a barn yet much less hay and I need all the food I can get for my colonists so I can't waste it on kibble. Got plenty of lightleather from dead otters, though.

T2 androids also work that way but with a significantly less severe penalty to work rate, and also significantly larger so they can carry more and move faster. All non-sapient androids are very good but re: an earlier post about what the point of T1s is, T2s are a strict upgrade over T1s, excepting a slightly higher food/power cost and a slightly lower constant mood buff, though they are still basically emotionless and needless so unless you have some odd mod interactions they shouldn't ever experience problems from low mood. I think T1s mostly just exist so that you can have a slightly less brokenly OP option to give out as quest rewards because their ability to work constantly is definitely very good even with their many penalties.

Perhaps I underestimated T1 androids. I've never seen one with particularly high skill and their work speed/move penalty makes them feel pretty useless at times, though being able to work 24/7 is nice. Usually I'd rather have a colonist with low skill but training potential and/or good traits. I haven't delved deep into the android tiers mechanics yet, can they eventually be upgraded?

It's odd, the androids mod doesn't seem very good about making sure droid/non droid pawns have appropriate backgrounds. And I'm not sure if it's intentional because you can actually download a bio pawn into an android body, or vice versa, so I don't know if it's intended to simulate that? But yes, T1/2s are always non sapient, they don't count as people if they die and they are still emotionless, it's a limitation of their chassis, they will happily go to their assigned charging pod whatever the condition and don't care about basically anything in their environment, you can't make a T1/2 into a fully emotionally functional member of the colony. Insert your own jokes about how that also applies to a lot of vanilla colonists

They can't be upgraded to higher tiers, th⁷ough they can get some upgrades, but you'd be better off making a higher tier android to use them in. The benefit to T1 androids is that they have no needs other than a bit of power and they otherwise work nonstop, so they're very good for the work that doesn't need to be done well but does need to get done eventually - planting, wall/floor building and smoothing, mining of stone walls, making blocks, hauling, cleaning The only impact their generally low skills and poor capabilities has on those things is time (and maybe a bit of materials for the construction part), but since they work forever and none of those are super time sensitive they make up for it and it means you can have your non-android colonists focus on the more important things.

Usually I'd rather have a colonist with low skill but training potential and/or good traits. I haven't delved deep into the android tiers mechanics yet, can they eventually be upgraded? They don't usually have high skills and they learn/work much slower than baseline colonists, but the fact they can work 24/7 largely offsets the work speed penalty so even then they are almost as good as a regular colonist and have virtually no upkeep. It takes them much longer to complete tasks but they can have nearly twice the working duration when you account for no rec, eating, or sleeping time (except for a charge every so often which is quicker than sleeping and occurs less frequently) If you have a task that just needs doing constantly in one location they are a very good pick, and you can offset the move speed issue by putting stockpiles near their work area, as well as their charging pod. Slap one in the kitchen and you will have a constant supply of meals at all times and a very well organized freezer. Put one near your stonecutting table and they will sit there all day processing stone. It is generally a good idea to restrict them to their work area because they have no reason to leave it and that means they will always be on station. Also, critically, once you unlock the skill servers you can very easily generate points to boost them up to skill 20 in anything you want. T1s are the cheapest bot to infuse skill points into so they can become extremely skilled if still a little slow due to the global work speed penalty they have. T2s are still a better choice as all of the above still applies to them, but T1s are still very valuable additions if you get one for free, especially early on. T2s are better because you can specialize them more with upgrade parts, like drill arms and such, which will actually make them yield a lot more ore from mining than regular colonists can. And they still have virtually no costs so you don't need to use them all the time. Katt posted:Do higher tier androids have emotions and relationships etc replicant style? Higher tier androids are entirely self aware and function much like regular colonists, except that I think they have no comfort need because android bodies don't get sore. They do indeed form relationships which can be a problem because they don't sleep in beds and they also don't gently caress, which can make their partner unhappy. They are, alas, not fully functional or anatomically correct, or they're volcel, one of the two. OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 17:02 on Sep 13, 2020 |

Winnowing down a colony of 60. I have 4 kids to take with, with 4 adults I’ve already chosen. I’m thinking.... another 4 will move on? Next colony I’m setting enemy death on down to 100% and setting Empire to hostile. Now to figure out which ones get to survive the colony calamity (ie the “toggle all disasters on my SimCity method) - random 4 number generator, all colonists get a number, top four get to join the exodus caravan.

I also keep around an "outfit" category that's just for nudists, e.g. wear nothing but a belt and a hat You could totally set up Soldier and Worker categories that use exclusive sets of things, e.g. dusters and the like when they're working and then when there's a raid to go deal with you switch them over to the Soldier outfits with armor and stuff. But like I said, I'm lazy. Hey everybody be sure to wear your flak jacket while your harvesting those berries, there are thorns in those bushes Also be sure to set all of your outfits to only allow 50-100% durability, that way once pawns are wearing tattered stuff they'll go swap it out asap There are mods that let you get fancier with clothing designation but the vanilla systems are pretty good imo

ughhhh posted:Finally figured out the power of a main entrance with autodoors with a side entrance with twisty hallways lined with traps. You can set up an outfit that includes armor for battles and switch on the fly but honestly by the time your pawns change their gear the enemy will be beating down your front door anyways so I have never bothered. You could micro it to save a little time but I'm always looking for ways to avoid micro in Rimworld. Not to mention if raiders crash in through your bedroom roofs, you absolutely want to already be wearing armor. Usually I'll have a standard outfit that includes dusters (preferably thrumbofur), chain mail (comes from the vanilla armor expanded mod, a skin layer armor that covers everything shoulders down and has decent protection at the cost of a slight move speed penalty), flak vest, and helmet. For vanilla clothing substitute chainmail with button down shirts and pants, aiming to eventually make them thrumbofur or hyperweave. Heavy fur is good for early game before you can mass thrumbofur. Then I force wear shield belts on my melee pawns, and with this kind of setup they have pretty reasonable protection, enough to melee block a corridor and tank some fairly large raids/infestations. Ideally you'd have some dedicated soldiers in heavy armor at all times but I prefer to play with 10-12 colonists max and I usually need them all unencumbered because I need them all working at max capacity. If I had 20+ colonists I'd have more delineation between lightly armored workers and heavily armored soldiers. Oh and huge shoutout to the mend and repair mod. It works beautifully in conjunction with the everyone gets one mod - just set your tailor/machining tables to make 1 per colonist + 1 or 2 of whatever armor/apparel item you want, and then set up a mending table to repair them. When a pawn's clothing drops below the durability threshold, they'll swap it out for the spare item, and then someone will mend the old one, creating the next spare. Completely takes the micromanagement out of clothing, just specify how many items of what material you want at your work benches and your pawns take care of the rest.
