if you want to keep the save going I'd grab what you can and bug out. The next raid is going to be brutal with all the wealth and only 1 colonist.

Does anyone know how to use Anima trees effectively? I put some meditation spots near mine but my tribal villagers hardly ever meditate near it, usually choosing someplace else when they do meditate

Coolguye posted:has anyone been able to come up with a good argument for making beer? even as a trade good it just seems like a giant waste of effort. grow tons of corn for the bulk traders and cocaine for the combat traders. then just do art if you want a luxury good for the exotic traders. I keep 4 hops plants in the medical research lab next to 2 barrels and the brewing bench. When I want to recruit a prisoner I force feed them beer, smokeleaf, ambrosia and psychoid tea which sends their mood through the roof and makes them easier to recruit. Visiting nobles are also given this combination to consume 4 times a day on top of a joywire so they're always happy.

Otherwise they will only do it as one of their recreation options or if they need to regain psyfocus which obviously they won't until they can psycast.

Playing with the hygiene mod has given me a new ambition: some day, my colony will be so wealthy that every plumbing fixture will be made of gold. Even the pipes? Especially the pipes.

FYI, don't send any colonists with diseases off on one of those "faction leader requests workers" quests thinking that they'll treat them. They won't and you'll get a dead body back.

Especially the pipes. I use Gemstones mod, and after recently securing some additional space and setting up a new defensive line, I'll be expanding out my guest area/recreation area, and I'm trying to decide what to make the pool out of. I was originally thinking silver, but from a couple meteorite events, I might have enough garnet or lapis lazuli to make the entire pool.

I've never received a quest while playing on my most recent colony, is there anything I need to do other than have a working com station? I'm playing on randy with a whole slew of mods, so I know both of those mean there could be a million reasons I'm not getting quests but this still feels very weird.

You don't even need a comm station to get a quest, you just need those to talk to trade ships or call for help. You should be getting quests from the get-go, at random. Unless you've just whiffed a ton of random chances, it's probably a mod thing.

While browsing for new mods I think I've randomly found the problem, apparently the Elder Things mod causes some sort of repeating error with story tellers where they stop doing a lot of stuff. I don't have the royalty dlc, so I'm not expecting those quests, just normal "Go here do thing get reward" quests.

Rimworld modders are pretty good in general with keeping stuff updated, and it's rarely difficult to change things for a new version. Pretty much everything that is still supported will likwly be updated in a few days.

I do not care for losing dudes at all. I understand it should happen but it shouldn't just happen abruptly and you can't do anything about it in my opinion. Like when I get a plague on day 2 or something and lose someone. Like, gently caress.

i'm fine with losing dudes if the preparations you have taken are incomplete or flawed, which they frequently are in rimworld. but when everyone has devilstrand hats and is firing from cover and a shortbow instant-destroys the brain you can kiss the skinniest part of my rear end. at least do me the honor of having it be a charge cannon or something.

It's not a coin flip for death. My colonist have taken many bad headshots over a 50 year game but if the brain still has health left they just end up severely disabled but still alive. No one ever instantly died from a lucky shot. A naked colonist once died from a lucky plasma sword to the neck but they were supposed to.

Katt posted:Wouldn't that lucky bullet have to also do enough damage to destroy the brain too? It's not a coin flip for death. That's right, and this new option isn't causing anyone to instantly die who otherwise would have survived in 1.1. According to Tynan's 1.2 video, if your colonist would have been killed instantly by a big hit, this new option will sometimes cause incoming damage to be reduced enough for the pawn to survive. So if you had the option cranked to 100%, that lucky plasma sword hit would have downed the colonist instead of killing them. It's actually called "Colonist instant-kill prevention" in the UI; it reduces the likelihood of sudden death, it doesn't increase it.

Yeah, watching the video for answers is definitely important. The insta-kill feature is clearly a new setting that lets you set a chance for your colonists to not die on a immediately lethal hit. It's literally either "game as it exists pre-patch" or "you can set a chance for your colonists not to die instantly". Even better it's part of a package that let's you edit your storyteller at the start of the game so you can turn off events you don't like, turn up those you do like, and even set the ramp scale for the game (or even turn it off and use a non-wealth based calculation). Also some really nice new psy powers, including one which lets you jump a team anywhere in the world so long as you've got another colonist there. You can send Jimmy the useless to a raid on his own and when he shows up teleport your caster and death squad to him instantly, murderize everybody, and be back in the colony in time for dinner.

Yeah the extra customization options seem like a great addition, basically an expansion of the scenario system that already lets you modify a whole lot of stuff. Also really looking forward to seeing what mods do with the gear system.

So from reading the notes do raiders not drop gear or something any more? And instead have specific rewards in their inventories? If so that would be really nice actually, because I already use mods to stop them dropping gear.
