Someone in the Dwarf Fortress thread said this game is really good so I bought it. Is there some equivalent to the Captain Duck tutorials I should watch? Because I tried to just jump in and had no idea what I was doing.

Okay, at this point I think the part I'm most confused by is trade/tradebeacons/stockpiles. Or stockpiles generally, maybe. My stockpiles get full really quickly, and then the things I want to trade, like my extensive collection of cowboy hats, are still where they were dropped by my hat maker. Considering how random the opportunity to trade is to begin with, how the different traders are only interested in particular goods, and especially how absolutely loving infuriating it is that my loving silver sometimes doesn't show up for reasons I really don't understand loving christ why do I have to store my spacebucks like they are giant blocks, the whole trade thing is frustrating and bewildering to me. And generally since I've only a rough idea of what to prioritize I end up running completely out of silver and steel and then I need something and I'm just stuck waiting forever for the one trader that will at least buy my cloth for pennies. So how do people manage this? How are you supposed to? What do I need to know about the difference between trade beacons being inside or outside? There is some screen that flashes for just a moment sometimes that says something or other. Are there mods that help this aspect of the game? Quantum stockpiles, or a mod that makes the trade screen detect all your stuff and not just what is in a trade beacon stockpile? I've seen some mods add things you can build that store specific things, do you know if I built those inside the radius of a trade beacon if their contents are detected? This whole part of the game just seems broken to me as a new player, and I miss just selecting poo poo to haul to the trade depot in DF.

Spakstik posted:If you're finding yourself short on silver and steel, you can either mark them as forbidden (f) or make sure that when you set up a bill at one of your crafting stations, it's set not to use silver, steel, and any other resource you want to conserve (done by pressing the config button in the bill's listing). If you can spare a colonist for crafting, building a tailor's bench and having the colonist turn your cloth into clothing will up its value considerably. I think dusters are the most valuable clothing item. A smithing bench is also pretty good for making money too if you have someone set to churn out wooden longswords. Statues are also really good money if you have an artistic colonist. It always seems to be building things that require steel more taking my steel than using it for walls. So more the things you mention at the end. Silver mostly just seems in short supply compared to trade goods I want to buy early game, when I'm scraping to buy enough medicine to make medical beds, and then once I start selling stuff the silver I get for my trade goods itself clogs up my stockpiles. I do always have a tailor working away, as mentioned, tending towards cowboy hats. If dusters are more economical I may switch to that, but I kind of like the thought of being the galaxy's source of cowboy hats for some reason. But at the rate cotton grows, I have enough cowboy hats to fill the space of both your stockpiles pretty quickly, as if they weren't already filled with everything else. I did make statues once but then I mostly didn't find anyone that would buy them. Spakstik posted:Trade beacons are always outside; you'll notice that if you build one in a room, it automatically cuts a hole in the roof around the beacon. Not sure how this works when your base is inside a mountain, though.

Drunk in Space posted:The recent changelog entry that piqued my interest the most is that colonists will now automatically change clothes. I hope this means we could eventually have drafted pawns automatically putting on helmets and power suits, because doing that poo poo manually with a lot of troops is annoying as all gently caress at the moment.

Is there a mod that makes traders always available via the comms desk? Because my newest game I get maybe one passing trader per year and I'm drowning in human organs to sell.

Did Cramped Environment change? I have people in 3x11 bedrooms and they are still complaining. Edit: I'm dumb, it's because I hadn't haulked the chunks out yet, so the walkable tiles were too low. Edit: Actually, no, I seem to still be getting it. Edit: Some have it, some don't, I'm so confused. Sub Rosa fucked around with this message at 11:29 on Apr 30, 2015 |

Bold Robot posted:It does though? I use 5x5 rooms and never have any issues It doesn't, because everything I've ever read bases it clearance level. Spacious, the goal, is 26, which means you aren't hitting it with a 5x5. Most use a 4x7 or 5x6, but nothing I've read previously has made me rule out a 3x11. http://rimworldwiki.com/wiki/Thoughts_list#Spacious_interior The wiki mentions nothing about a minimum width, just a maximum length of 11.

The actual answer is that the clearance perspective zone doesn't have a large enough diameter to see the entire room when the bed is in the corner, which is why moving the bed to the middle of the room worked.

Spakstik posted:If you're in a mountain then you'll need to place a beacon outside, otherwise the stuff you buy will land in odd places or possibly on top of the mountain you're in, making it in inaccessible. Unless something changed in A10 this isn't correct. Goods just come down to the closest outside tile, and it's very consistent.

Gibbo posted:As Rimworld gets more and more added to it, it's progressing through all the stages that DF went through. So much so that I don't feel much of a point of playing Rimworld over DF at all. It's a dwarf fortress with a slightly better UI and pictures at this point. (and guns) I think it is significant that I can't play Dwarf Fortress without intentionally making several sacrifices in order to not have a lovely FPS almost immediately, and yet still my forts become unplayable due to FPS often before I even get around to building a military. Not that that matters considering how broken seiges are at actually bothering to show up.

They'd give me 60 for him - bloody thing is almost blind and has dementia, it's not even worth a single chicken I haven't played much with the new animals system. Do you mean an actual mutt? Can the different breeds of dogs interbreed and produce mutts?

Tetracell posted:This would be the best thing in the world if anyone has a way to do it. I'm so goddamn sick of having the "Colonist left unburied" negative modifier. I can never find whatever corpse they're talking about, and if they weren't marked as no-use like 95% of the time it'd probably be no problem. There used to be a mod (AlphaTweaks) that autounforbade everything in the home zone but I haven't played in a while and don't know if it is updated to recent versions.

I was never able to figure out how redistheat works. Only LP I've watched who used it was Midnight Snack Games, and he ended up with 200F bedrooms. Is there a tutorial somewhere? Do you need both cold and hot Networks to be able to both cool and heat?

Drink Cheerwine posted:i dont know if you need both traits to successfully run a cannibal colony, but i think you only need cannibal. iirc, butchering malus is no big deal, cannibal malus is and i believe it stacks, which i dont think butchering does. On the other hand, if you aren't chopping off limbs and eyeballs for spares before killing and eating your prisoners, you are doing it wrong. I believe that does stack, so it's really ideal to have both.

Seconding Midnight Snack Games. After the death of the Ultimate Overhaul Mod Pack, I've mostly mimicked the collection of mods he is using in his latest modded run, and I'm having more fun than I have in while with this game. Also he renames colonists based on a list of people who request it, and I've gloriously died in two different seasons so far. Blitzkriegsler is someone else whose LPs I've liked.

So here is a funny story. In my current colony, I have a lot of chickens. I mean A LOT of chickens. I just didn't pay attention to them for a while and they had a huge chicksplosion. They live in a fairly small barn. For some reason the visitors would always go hang out in the barn. The thing is, they HATED it there. They were getting absurdly high negative opinion mallus for overcrowded and going berserk and attacking the chickens. But there were so many chickens, the chickens always won. I didn't even understand what was going on for a while, I just wondered why my chicken coop was mysteriously always covered in blood and also home to new forbidden weapons that I couldn't account for. Once I figured it out, I just left it running like that as a neat way to farm weapons from visitors. Rimworld.
