If you swap outfits in the manager, and then draft/un draft colonists to interrupt their work their first new task will be to change into the right gear. Mods which give you storage containers for Apparel items and this behavior mean you can have a Ready Room with mostly-empty racks for non-armor clothing, and full racks for armor. Colonists will take off and store the poo poo they’re wearing, and put on armor. It takes a bit and then you’ve got to draft them as they gently caress off to other tasks, but it’s better than individually force-equipping the entire militia at least to me

I wish people who make various alien races would at least consider designing them around being able to wear normal clothes too. I shouldnt need two crafting tables per race just to make equipment for everyone

I've done the Rim Effect races (Hanar and Geth are forced nudist, everyone else uses normal), Skaven ( normal), Xenohumans (normal), Hivers (limited headwear but its in vanilla crafting stations), Argonians (normal), Xenos Magos Biologis Ork/Grots/Eldar/Tau/Kroot/Ratlings/Ohgren (normal), Android tiers (normal), Automatons (normal), Faster Than Light races Rockmen/Mantis/Crystals/Engi/Zoltans (normal)... The only ones that had any restrictions were the Gerzee who can wear very limited clothes and Ewoks from a 1.0 Star Wars mod I haven't used recently which now claims they wear normal clothes

There's one particular modder/artist who seems rather devoted to their "style over playability" approach, and has made several HAR factions with custom pawn models that are hardcoded only to use their animerace's proprietary apparel set (or when the racedef is edited to allow normal armor, the sprite layering looks horribly incongruous due to animeblob mismatch). That or they just have some reverse-midas curse, and everything they touch magically turns into crufty piles of incompatible jank.

It's just weird and unsatisfying that I have ranged dudes in full power armor with plasma rifles, and my melee guys are in full power armor, with shield belts and... steel longswords. Heavy Melee weapons is probably your best bet there then

silentsnack posted:QE cloning adds a new pawn to your faction, inheriting species/gender/traits from the genome sequencer, with their biological age set to 18 (aliens/animals probably use the adult age from racedef files?) and a temporary mood debuff along the lines of "this 'reality' poo poo is heavy, wtf"; applying a colonist's brain template only seems to modify skills/passions. So even if you create a perfect duplicate your new clone will still be an entirely separate person, and their social and medical data start out blank. Thanks. I was hoping for something that uses game mechanics so Character Editor is out. There doesn't seem like anything that can transfer a character's soul/essence/qualia/engram/whatever between living bodies - just similar stuff for androids apparently - so my plan is to make a copy of my Greedy rich explorer starting colonist who is my best crafter and builder, and use her clone to keep doing work while the original gains noble ranks and becomes useless. So here's my mod list:  I am mostly focused on cosmetic/UI enhancements and medical stuff. I was wondering about the following: -A streamer I watch is doing a playthrough with mods and has one that gives the rarity text of items on the ground different colors for different rarities. Which one is that? -Are there any (relatively balanced) mods that allow for cosmetic surgery to remove scars and ugly/annoying voice/etc. traits? -Does anyone have any other recommended purely cosmetic or medical mods?

But I also pointedly refuse to use any special equipment that comes with the various race mods. So in my colonies, everyone gets a complimentary parka or duster and then whatever else they wear gets lost under big coat.

the melee weapons in royalty are kind of obnoxious because while yes they are insanely good and do a fantastic job of equalizing the balance of a lot of things, they are all considered archeotech so you're only getting your monoswords, zeus hammers, etc from quest rewards and passing ships (NOT outlander unions and VERY rarely trading with the Empire) so you're ilke yeah sure melee is gonna rule and then by your third year of searching for poo poo for your melee dudes you're really considering just giving up and giving them a charge rifle to go hunt stuff with until you can get away with them being another ranged guy

After I-forget-what-patch the game doesn't fire off events with people in them when the temperature is too uninhabitable for the people in question. For honest to goodness ice sheets, it's usually orbital traders and mechanoids. You might try a game a bit further away from the pole.

Whenever I go visit Imperial cities they’ve always got a few of the special melee weapons, and about a third of the time they’ve had even persona for sale. I’m in year 3 and if I picked the persona weapons as rewards, I’d have probably 4 or 5, but their persona traits have been kinda meh.

One that I had forgotten to mention (since I've never actually tried it) is the FTL Clonebay which seems kinda like it might suit your preferences? By the modder's explanation: internally it resurrects the dead pawn regardless of where they died (teleporting them to your base and leaving dummy corpse) in order to preserve their relationships/memory/etc, which is what the flufftext means about failing if the corpse was destroyed/burned/eaten/mountain'd/etc. BattleMaster posted:So here's my mod list: Rarity tags aren't a thing in vanilla rimworld AFAIK? Maybe that streamer used one of the "infusion" mods that occasionally cause items to spawn with a title/prefix/suffix, which DO have rarity levels indicating their relative potency. Infusions can be a fun addition for a wacky heavily-modded colony and can rarely stack to stupid-overpowered levels, so you might luck out and get an SMG from the Elemental Plane of Warcrimes, that lets one colonist solo endgame raids... but you'll occasionally lose someone to comparable bullshit when a lancer's +350%accuracy, +200%armorpiercing  For cosmetic surgery there's Plasteel Surgery and its submod (PS) Reconditioning Pod to alter personality traits, which require some investment (on top of research) and comes with some tradeoffs. I think it has balance sliders if you feel the need to tweak the [chance of randomly leaving your dude braindamaged] drawbacks? Sparkling Worlds+Mind Altering Device also adds a tool to reformat your brain but I don't actually remember if it works well in practice (also even this relatively stripped-down version still adds some over-the-top nonsense you might not want in a vanillish game) For general medical QoL mods there's Less Arbitrary Surgery which makes success/failure less of a binary outcome. Instead of [always either perfect success or total failure] there's a chance for partial-success, where the operation is completed but with minor-failure consequences of injuries/infections; and minor failures are less likely to outright kill the patient by randomly destroying their liver. Also Stabilize Here is a bit more flexible for malpracticing-by-the-seat-of-your-pants than Smart Medicine since it lets you tend anyone anywhere, including wild animals and enemies/mechanoids. In case you want to keep your prisoners from bleeding out before you can capture them. Or there's Imprisonment On The Go! (Make Pawns Prisoners Without Beds), which does what the name implies but also lets you tend prisoners on-location. If by 'cosmetic mods' you meant UI improvements there's Dubs Mint Menus which gives a bunch of options for adjusting the architect/etc menus and also adds a configurable radial menu for shortcuts you use often. silentsnack fucked around with this message at 00:56 on Jun 14, 2021 |

After I finish messing around with this save I'll have to unfuck my mod list. Trader ships, trade caravans, and towns often don't trade anything, nothing attacks me, and there are various other lack of events. Alot of the stuff here is however entertaining, just requiring ungodly amounts of materials, research, and manpower to do. Unfortunately this puts the caster out of work for 5 days or so. https://i.imgur.com/7ddo9gM.mp4 Yes that has infinite casting range on the map, as long as the target zone isn't blocked by line of sight. Although there has been incidents of enemies being able to shoot at me though walls with projectile weapons, probably something wrong with some of the mods and I need to remove them.

That clonebay is along the line of what I wanted. The others are good, too. The prisoners on the go one is something I definitely wanted because even Stabilize Here has issues, where if an enemy is healthy enough to walk immediately after stabilizing they'll be mobile and fleeing again instead of restrained. By "rarity tags" I brainfarted a bit, I meant quality. Like how icons of weapons on the ground will have "normal", "good", "excellent", etc.. The text is normally colored identically, but the streamer has a UI mod that shows up in different colors. By "cosmetic mods" I mean not just UI improvements but other sorts of graphical improvements. BattleMaster fucked around with this message at 05:35 on Jun 14, 2021 |

Thankfully Leal posted their modlist for their LP and I just finished reorganizing my modlist for 2 hours to make it look like theirs and now it finally works properly. turns out the best way to get a modlist working is to follow someone elses example.

I just mean that a blank neural android created specifically for the purpose of transferring an existing android into counts as a colonist. In my latest game the inanimate android somehow ended up making friends with another colonist and it caused a break when my other android uploaded into it. And the old body causes the unburied colonist state, so I end up having to bury a shell body in my mausoleum despite it making no real sense. Oh no my friend SA-4 the blank robot died and now I am mourning an unrelated empty robot body for some reason.

You should be able to dismantle the old android chassis at a machining bench to avoid the colonist unburied partOwlFancier posted:I am fairly sure that androids has checks to handle the way it treats surrogate bodies. It does... kinda. As far as I can tell, let's say you have Bob-3 and the newly minted T4 body labeled S-04. When Bob uploads to S-04, the game switches their consciousness then kills the old body now inhabited by S-04. Somehow sometimes your idiot pawns manage to make friends with S-04 before Bob uploads himself into it, meaning when Bob's old body dies, they freak the gently caress out. It's a coding limitation but it also plays into the whole "holy poo poo pawns are loving stupid" mindset of Rimworld
