Having been playing this for the last week (just started with 11b), I'd have to say my biggest desire for AI improvements would be intelligent building queues. They continually seal off areas before they finish building stuff deeper in (like plugging sapper holes with new walls). Also, this: quote:Enemies (especially wargs) now ignore unpowered unmanned turrets and mortars. Should probably be reverted. I have huge death fields of turrets on power switches and the enemy just blithely wanders into the middle of them whereas they'd just snipe all the turrets to death from a safe distance if they were on. In related news, sappers can go gently caress themselves. My best defense against them so far has been the fact that the arctic ice sheet my base is built on has an average outside temperature of -20C. The last sapper raid came during a cold snap in January when it was -70C out (heated internal rooms were hovering around -1C  ), the whole group broke from stress and hypothermia before finishing their tunnels.

I hope it is a standin, the interface is awful. I'd love a sell all button and locks to prevent sales of individual things you don't want to get rid of (like i want to sell that vast pile of great bows but leave the sniper rifles alone). Or in lieu of locks a refinement to the stockpile system that would let me assign individual items to a specific stockpile because I'd love to be able to have an armory of my situational weapons and have everything else dragged off to the sales pit. I'd also like to see a ransoming option for prisoners. Right now I tend to just catch and release most of the tribals just to get them to stop attacking me, but its hardly even worth capturing a pirate. Recruitment chance is too low, harvesting their organs then selling them just annoys everyone, and releasing them has no positive faction effect. At this point I just shoot the shocked ones on the ground and only capture guys that have bionic limbs to steal.

I installed the 11d version of the Ultimate Modpack within a couple hours of 11d https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=14229.0 I'm not 100% certain I like the changes this mod does. Man is starting a new fort brutal. Need to research about 12 things before you can even make a solar panel, much less any semblance of base defence. Certainly liven things up tho, nothing like getting attacked by dudes with tanks and railguns 30 minutes into the game.

Flesh Forge posted:Ninefinger is really good about staying on top of mods he includes and even fixing and updating them if they're not maintained any more but yeah I'm not really keen on the kitchen sink approach he takes. You can disable parts of it but it relies totally on Superior Crafting and a number of other mods that I'm not interested in. It was pretty great of him to repair and update Latta's RedistHeat mod though. Is that the ductwork mod? I really couldn't figure that one out. Built ducts around, built an intake by an industrial cooler, exaust vents to the outside. HVAC room was like 1C and the duct network was still warmer than the ambient air

Large enough rooms will usually act as a heat sink. Where do you guys find all these mountains with internal geothermal vents, mine are always scattered all over the map and not even worth using because raiders just blow them up

I put giant garbage stockpiles in front of my base and load it with stones so all attackers slow to a crawl crossing it, makes for a great death field for those flankers

Here is a short video, sorry about the sleeping at the start. Fowler is supposed to be the cook. Thanks. Your video doesn't seem to include a list of the bills at your cooking table. What do you have it set to? Or, if you're really new and don't know, you need to assign jobs at the crafting tables. Click on the cooking thing, click the "bills" button, and then set up "make simple meals" until you have like 20 or something

Something else to try would be to select your cook and right click the stove and try to force him to cook. If its blocked for some reason it'll say "can't prioritize: xxx" which might give some info.

What I've found helps with the whole "bedridden people go insane" thing is to draft them occasionally and drag them outside briefly. Ends the cabin fever issues, and they generally go and talk to someone before going back to bed which ends the totally joy deprived. Not too bad a hit for sickness and keeps them sane.

Overwined posted:TVs seem sort of useless. I can't recall if I've ever seen a colonist use one. However, if they had a sort of joy area effect for the room they're in, that would be something that could at least partially meet the joy needs of patients in the infirmary. They seem pretty low on the list, but I've had various colonists watch movies. Slap a TV down with a comfy chair in front of it and someone will eventually sit.

Drunk in Space posted:I think there's a bit of an issue with how close the chair is to the TV and the orientation of both. Too close or too far and I've noticed colonists will often sit down and then stand up immediately and go and do something else. Two tiles from the TV usually works ok, but it's definitely not something they use as much as you might expect. At the very least you'd think all the medieval serfs you always seem to end up with would be dazzled and entranced by it constantly. I spend a fortune on video game machines and all sorts of fancy joy items and they spend 99% of their time at the sandstone horseshoe pit. See if I give you guys a nice home next time

Traps in this game seem pretty purposeless. It's not like DF where an enemy will gladly take the trap lined maze to your base instead of just bashing the door down simply because it is "open". So you either need to trap your primary routes, which just end up with dead colonists, or make very short trap hallways that they WILL take, but the traps do so little damage that it's hardly worth the hassle.

It seems to take either the last thing you assigned something or whatever is closest. I have a small animal zone I assign for butchering to minimize hauling and I keep ending up getting messages like "Apalca 4 is starving to death!" and when I go to investigate its because the game auto-assigned it to a small room with a butchering table.

Can someone explain to me how the hell ducts work? I made a room with an industrial heater, put an intake in there, connected ducts to it, ran the ducts across the hall to a smart vent, network temperature never changes from ambient indoor temperature. Room's at 20, network is at 11, Room's at 200, network is at 11.
