Hi thread, just starting with this game and my colonists are starving because they can't prepare any meals. I've already googled this issue and it appears my commands are set up correctly but I'm still unable to cook, would anyone advise? I have a fueled stove supplied with fuel, I have all my colonists enabled to cook, I have 40 units of fresh venison in my stockpile zone and I have a bill for one serving of ingredient-agnostic simple food on the stove. Despite this any colonist I try to assign to cooking gets 'Cannot cook fueled stove (needs materials)' when I try to make them cook, is there any reason this might be?

Okay, I've confirmed the meat is not reserved, the bill definitely has meat enabled, the stove is fueled, my colonists are otherwise fine to haul for other tasks and they are qualified to make a simple meal and I've moved the meat so it is directly next to the stove. Still no luck.

Diver's gone crazy from eating raw meat, some of the raw venison had since been given to my prisoner who I've now released so I now have all 40 units of venison again Here's the venison:  highlighting the stove:  and the stove itself:

Okay, I've created a new colony with fully functioning stoves and seating, the layout is much lighter and the colony is functioning much more smoothly. I'm concerned by by slowly diminishing supplies. If worst came to worst how traumatised would my colonists be if I butchered by currently uncompliant prisoner? For reference:

Update: My dudes have avoided starvation by slaughtering a pack of rampaging beavers and they have successful integrated their prisoner into colonist society. They are now producing a large food surplus though due to poor food bill construction they did produce a huge excess of simple meals that are now spoiling in the larder, which apparently isn't refrigerated despite coolers being built in there. Next up it looks like they're going to have to start a proper industrial base?

Okay, I'm bulk producing Pemmican throughout the day, though I'm still losing huge quantities of food to decay. I don't have electricity yet so freezers are not an option. I've also started building a separate dormitory building to house the colonists in spacious, isolated rooms. Also, is there any way to manually place items? One of my dudes has had a mental break and he's currently starving to death in his room, how can I deliver some food to him?

I bodged it in the end by placing a high priority food-only storage zone in his room and delivering meals that way Also, what the gently caress is up with hares? I left my expert hunter alone for a minute and she's unconscious and bleeding out for ten different hare wounds. I had to muster the entire colony armed with clubs and bows to save her.

HelloSailorSign posted:Yikes! That had to be the end of that colony. The fire's gonna spread everywhere unless that last megasloth goes down in 1 hit... Lilith's definitely dead... and why the hell is Burban running away? Somehow they everyone survived with only the loss a Yorkshire Terrier who failed to evac to the back of the house in time. After that screen I led the megasloth back into the lounge and deployed the three huskies I'd been holding back from the initial fight, Keegs then had time to run back into the armoury and brush the fire off Lilith. The huskies killed one of the surviving megasloths and fire took the other (offscreen). Dowsing the fires in the aftermath was touch and go for a minute, but a rainy thunderstorm ended up putting out the spreading exterior fires whilst my two surviving conscious pawns dealt with the interior fires. In the post-battle cleanup everyone ended up being safely rescued with the worst injury being a severed leg. I'm just amazed using the incendiary launcher inside my base actually worked, after my combat team went down in the lounge I thought that was GG for the colony. In the end the day was won by a pawn with a shooting skill of 1.

The colony of Fisherman's Township has died. So, I knew the bugs would be a problem from a while back. I savescummed a few trial runs of burning them out but either the heat dissipated in their nest or the roof collapsed in the trap zones stopping the tunnels reaching critical temperature. As I had nowhere near the resources to build a killzone of the scale required to defend against an infestation of that size I set up a final all-wood trap zone lined with incendiary IEDs as a final failsafe against invasion - which nearly worked, but with the tunnels coming out onto a pond I was unable to reinforce the entrance strongly enough to stop the bugs escaping before the fire reached a critical state. After it was clear the incendiary trap had failed the entire colony evacuated to the outer courtyard, the bugs started wrecking the base by destroying my power grid so most of the inner-wall killbox was inactive, though the geothermal powered turrets still managed to bag a few. The colonists fought well though and managed to kill about a quarter of the hive before they were overwhelmed. Also, a poison ship crash landed during the final stand, I've let the game run for a little while and this is the result:  A blighted, bug-ruled land

DreamShipWrecked posted:I'll take murderers any day over these glitterworld divas that won't deign to move rocks. The Hated Work Type mod makes this so much less aggravating, it's still absolutely unsustainable to have colonists do their hated work on even a medium term basis {as it should be) but when half your colony are hospitalised from a raid and [i]someone[/] needs to haul those harvested crops out of the rain before they rot its a godsend

Danaru posted:The whole "changing your body destroys your soul maaaaan" feels like an incredibly obsolete trope that only really works for games like Shadowrun where it works thematically because spirits and magic exist in universe too and are tied to your literal soul. It doesn't work thematically for Rimworld at all, and it absolutely didn't need to be 'balanced' this way As an atheist I see no problem with carving my my body for minor stat gains and furthermore

I'll never forget the first time one of pawns survived a critical head injury and I couldn't figure out why they still weren't moving after recovery before I realised the 'brain scar' was actual brain scarring and the game was systemising traumatic brain damage

BattleMaster posted:I had the exact same thing happen. I had a guy get zipped in the brain by a Centipede's shock lance. I thought it was a normal downing until I realized he was just laying there with no struggling or exclamation mark while still being alive. Which is a condition that remained even after he was fully healed. I think this is the premise of a horror film

The game is whatever you make of it. Obviously immortality drugs and super mechs break the original balance of the game, but they create a novel experience in its place, I just wouldn't use them unless you want a mad science power fantasy

How would you best go about clearing a large bug infestation out of an open roofed cave? Freezing and indirect heat are both out because the temperatures are normalised by the holes in the ceiling and the horde is too large to take on in an open fight even with favourable terrain. I'd like to build an IED firebox but I've not acquired a single incendiary shell is this run and the nest is close enough to my base that building it would probably get the builders killed.

I didn't even get a chance, the I tried to wall in the bugs at the start to buy time to construct the firebox but the Queen was super aggressive in expanding and chewed through it nearly immediately and started patroling the construction site, I managed to ambush and kill her but then the colony launched a full scale attack a few minutes later. My entire colony was torn to shreds I guess this is my punishment for strip mining an entire mountain without doing the slightest bit of preparation for the inevitable bug war

I've had the game running with my extinct colony for the last hour and these mod bugs have just exponentially expanded mode across the entire map. Already about 15 seperate hives and queens through the entire area and they're rapidly driving everything else in the region extinct, the new scripting on them is horrific. Also I've just noticed insect jelly is people??

Doomykins posted:Insect jelly is made of any viable food matter, bugs carry raw food and corpses to hives to make jelly. I didn't experience any notable bugs(!) and the offence/defence thing seemed to be working as intended but yeah I don't know if I'd play with it again, the way they just moved in and steamrolled me was ruthless which was a novel experience but also a 12 hour colony down the pan because of one lapse of foresight That said, watching the bugs just go full Zerg mode across the entire region was pretty cool, by the time I finished running it there wasn't a single non-bug creature left on the map

Synnr posted:Yeah I just wanted to see how it looked to find abandoned colonies but I guess it's not a thing. You could explore your own abandoned forts in DF and such. I'm running a mod Real Ruins which adds in ruined versions of buildings from other people's games, though usually not whole complexes. But it's still pretty cool and occasionally very useful, basically this game's version of Dark Souls ghosts with bonus loot scavenging on top
