Well I just hit a fun and probably game ending bug. My pawns can now only deposit into the deep storage food bins, it cannot be retrieved to cook. So unless there is food in the field, my cooks have nothing to work with. Also they some how keep putting meals into a deep storage freezer that is specifically set to not contain meals. So I guess the moral of the story is to find a new storage mod, what are some alternatives?

I also learned something; I didn't realize I could send "caravans" of one person, and was waiting until I could spare five or six pawns to go out together.

Send someone you don't care about. I think there is a chance that they get ambushed as they travel on the world map.

I've never needed to but can't you just run from ambushes, by moving all your pawns to the opposite edge of the map? Enemies spawn at range so as long as you're not too slow (and not fighting wizards) you can avoid getting forced into combat. Thought you might need to zone animals near there too so they move away from the enemies.

The smaller the caravan, the less the chance they'll get ambushed. Check the "visibility" stat. If you've got any trained animals, especially herbivores during times they can graze while on caravan and are otherwise not needed, sending a few of those along with the pawn that can use them for attack means that just about any ambush is going to spawn with super low point scores such that you'll often be fighting a naked frail 70yo tribal or a cat. A single colonist with a revolver and an alpaca (or boar, or donkey, or...) or two will fairly easily dispatch just about any ambush coming their way. I've never checked about running away tbh. The ambushes are usually so small as to be laughable. Coming back from raids with 5 kitted out assault pawns and 3 tribals with clubs show up demanding their power armor.

I've had some issues with storage mods like this, two ideas: 1) Deconstruct it and everything inside should spill out like a punctured bag of holding. 2) Click on the storage locker and look at the contents list, there could be an arrow that when clicked will spit the stack out onto the floor. I did this for awhile after one release made my weapons lockers buggy, it was workable since I didn't change weapons past crafting binges/new recruits.

The way caravans work, the more pawns you send, the more likely they are to get into trouble. So what you generally want is to send out the minimum number of best suited pawns, so people with good foraging, high move speed etc. If you send out one man caravans they will very very rarely get into trouble I find, and they might be able to run away from it too. The downside is they can't carry much, but if you're just buying animals that is OK as they can carry themselves. However animals count for caravan size so you will be more likely to have trouble coming home.

The actual big problems with caravanning are the basics; medicine, bedding, clothing, and food. Ambushes are always a possibility but their danger ends up being kind of overblown because they are dramatic and you remember it more poignantly. In most cases you really just want to make sure there’s enough food (but not so much it slows you down), and sufficient medicine (which is easier to estimate). Then it’s just a matter of double checking the weather to make sure people will be warm or cool enough, and that there are sufficient and appropriate bedrolls for the expedition (do send a double bedroll if you have a couple out there).

You need 1 noble with high animals and high social, that's your trader and then you bring along a bunch of elephants. The noble dumps Berserk Pulse and/or Vertigo Pulse on any ambushing enemies, and the elephants clean up whatever's left.

Yeah I keep forgetting to pack bedrolls. A good way to do food is to make sure your caravan pawns get plant work training, because that helps them forage and that basically just gives you a reliable food consumption offset, greatly reducing the amount you need to carry. Especially if you do a tribal start as tribal type factions get an inherent bonus to foraging.

Yup plants work became extremely important to cross train everyone on once caravanning got properly fleshed out. I will quite frequently have a giant rice or haygrass field that is zoned such that the people with 8+ plants ignore it specifically so I can get people training on it. Spare food just becomes drop podded gifts or fodder for requested bulk traders so who cares about storing it all

If you have a noble with farskip, a neat trick you can do is load them and a bunch of trade goods into a drop pod, launch it to a friendly settlement you want to trade with, buy whatever you want to your heart's content (weight limit does not matter), and instantly farskip back to your home base. Another cool synergy is if that noble has chosen royal shuttle as one of their permits. You can call in a shuttle, load it up with a hit squad loaded for bear, bust up whatever hostile camp is bugging you, then instantly farskip back home. It's seriously one of my favorite utility powers and cancels out the needs for caravans for me late game.

If you have a second noble you can then farskip the gang + animals back home too.

Or if one of your pawns has 20k wealth because they have every bionic and psychic upgrade. Also I'm pretty sure you should just always pack double bedrolls, colonists don't seem to mind sharing them with people other than their partner when caravanning (and partners don't seem to do any lovin' while caravanning either)

Sure, it adds a plant processing bench that you use to process 4-6 raw crops into seeds. When you harvest crops you also get seeds, but not a full 1:1 ratio, and that means you have to be sure to save some corn instead of immediately cooking it all. There's also a mega patch mod that add compatibility for a lot of mods that add new plants. Oh, that bench is also used to turn raw healroot into Herbal Medicine.

Does anyone know how the dubs hygiene sprinklers work? I had a bunch in a room hooked up to water, and then they just didn't do anything when the room caught on fire. What a waste of the few components I have left. My plan to sell something other then drugs has failed. I have whiskey going all the time but forgot to restrict it so I think it was being drank as fast as it was being made.

I think they might need to actually be on fire themselves, alternatively you can, I think, tell a pawn to activate them by selecting the pawn and right clicking the sprinkler and they will spray the area around them, so they are better for aiding firefighting rather than actually making you immune to fire.

They give a fertility buff to tiles they water, so I’ve always just gridded out my fields with them, to grow more corn to trade for more components

There's two different sprinklers, one for fire suppression and one for irrigation. The fire ones are red, if I remember right while the irritation sprinklers are green.

I'm imagining a corridor of things that are vaguely unpleasant in order to make raiders so uncomfortable that some of them start breaking. Speaking of that, I think that's why I dislike mechanoids - they just don't interact with a lot of the systems that Rimworld has in place. It does make them much more challenging when they don't have the same weaknesses as fleshy beings, but it makes them boring to fight.

One thing I've recently learned and incorporated into my static defenses for mechs is to place a firefoam popper to deal with centipedes with inferno cannons. The dispersed foam not only puts out fires but will also prevent fire from catching onto the areas it's covering for subsequent attacks. The annoying thing is that direct inferno cannon hits will still set your colonists on fire and panic them out of position, though I believe the newer phoenix armor is supposed to help with that. Haven't tried it yet, but if so, might be worth incorporating into my colonist loadout.

A big thing for limiting the damage that inferno cannon shots can do is to build walls between your soldiers, so that a shot that hits one isn't going to splash onto the one next to them. Doesn't help the original target but at least their buddies can drag them away from the fight since they aren't also on fire/exploded.
