Warmachine posted:Honestly the most compelling reason for me to keep Rimsenal: Ferals installed is the flamethrower. It behaves exactly like I'd expect a flamethrower to behave in Rimworld mechanics, and is absolutely perfect for close range area denial. I used it on two pawns during a massive infested ship chunks event to keep the bugs from getting close to my blob of shooter pawns. You might have convinced me to install this mod. I've always ignored it because of the weird anime thumbnail on the workshop but if it's actually just cool guns with a stupid thumbnail I'm on board.

Just lots of guns and a pair of reasonably tough factions. (Fun fact: the mutants don't count as human meat, so Federation and Feral raids often double as manhunter meal deliveries!)

"Notable experimental failures during the development of the flamethrower as a practical infantry weapon" is a topic which I find theoretically fascinating but have deliberately never explored. Learned my lesson about testing failures of early Industrial Era from reading about seal failures on early diving suits. Did you know that if you compact an entire human body into several meters of hose plus the head and shoulders of a diving suit, that human can't live?!

I too, remember this episode of mythbusters, and vaguely remember a wet crunching sound Maybe this is old news, but while remodeling my stockpiles, I have accidentally discovered that having a 1 tile wide corridor lined with traps (with access doorways on one side) with open doors on both ends, and an externally-accessible kibble stockpile, makes a loving excellent animal lure / trap during winter. Not at all doing this on purpose, I've killed or fatally wounded (inside my courtyard) 3 llamas, a hare, a raccoon, and 4 meadow aves (basically chocobos, from a mod) in 1 day. edit: is there a mod that makes bloodstains a fertilizer? there should be metasynthetic fucked around with this message at 04:38 on Jul 11, 2019 |

I don't recall it having a direct one off the top of my head, which is odd given that you'd think you could just stuff them in the septic tank. E: unless you can do it at the incinerator.

There was another one that lets me burn corpses into compost, and then use the compost to make fertilizer. There's so many mods that do this that I can't remember which one it is off the top of my head (Probably Fertile Fields).

Thinking about starting this beautiful dumb game back up, but I was wondering if there were any good biome mods out there that aren't dead/full of bugs/all of the above? I have TroppiCKAPPS Rainforest, which was definitely a neat fun challenge last time, but wondering if anyone has anything for other biome types like that, or ones that add new biomes, that they could recommend?

My favorite thing about combining Rim of Magic and Vampires is that if you have a vampire and a necromancer, the vampires will get negative moodlets for "observed undead."

How do you mean? I've definitely noticed some nasty positioning errors with the double saber making it look like the beam is rotating separately from the handle which ughh, or do you mean from a design standpoint? The double saber is the coolest kind of saber and I still use it despite that bug

I just built up a tiny one year community to shake the rust off and see if I still got the muscle memory of this game. Holy gently caress Google gave a whole bunch of different set of modpacks, all nearly identically named, but with wildly different levels of complexity between them. So, should I responsibly pick a small pack to test against incompatibilities... Or should I dump the one with the most number right on top of my existing pack. gently caress me up fam and hook it straight into my veins.

I installed the Pokemon mod then uninstalled it because the fuckers would 'help' with construction and there wasn't an obvious way to stop that (no work restriction menu since they're classified as animals). At least orbital traders take awful/poor furniture. Also switched to using Deep Storage and it's just miles ahead of Extended Storage, everyone should make the switch if they're still on ES.

It's either the size of it or the positioning that makes it clash with the rest of the pawn. For example, with the polesaber, it looks like they're holding a weapon made for someone twice their size, which clashes with the size of spears in the game (which is roughly how big said pole should be in my mind). fake edit: Rimworld: steak tartare without a fuCINg table

Do those sandbags outside your embrasures there actually provide any defense or are they just for aesthetics? I'm pretty sure in vanilla nonadjacent cover elements have no effect.

they guarantee that enemies cannot stand on the hex and therefore cannot use the embrasure it'd be better to use a stone chunk (it provides less cover) but  . i do the same thing with my fire and murder hallways.

I'm using Combat Extended which drastically changes the way gunfire works. I haven't tested them yet but I believe the sandbags should take some of the hits first. Which is relevant when facing mechanoids with charge blasters which have ablated my bunkers into rubble before now. Specifically those are elephant leather heavy sandbags with 1000hp in front of bonecrete embrasures. CE specifically changes the combat model to a hitbox based thing, so an embrasure blocks most of a pawn's height, while the sandbags block most of the embrasure's height, it should split damage between the two.

I have a combat question. Just standing my guys behind embrasures a space apart from each other (dude, empty space, dude) seemed to have them taking hits more regularly than if I alternated walls and embrasures and stood them behind the walls. Is this actually the case or was I merely fooling myself?

Select an attacker and hover over one of your pawns in cover, it will give you detailed stats for their hit probability. But yes, generally walls help, because you get the cover from peeking out from the wall as well as the cover from being behind the partial cover.
