Well, the rimworld the game takes place on isn't completly alien, there are other human colonies and traders pass by with relative frequency. It could be a world set up to be fully terraformed and then abandoned for whatever reason.

I'm having a problem and I can't decide if its a bug or intended behaviour. I'm playing with one of the mods that add embrasures (Firing ports in walls) and I've fortified my colony with a full wall around it with a number of bunkers spread along it. In front of the firing ports are sandbags, as it helps protect my colonists while not affecting thier own accuracy. The problem I'm having is that enemies are refusing to shoot at my colonists from any range and instead are trying to batter the doors down. For melee armed enemies I understand, thats what they do. But guys armed with guns, bows, grenades, even centipedes armed with thoe inferno cannon things don't shoot and instead try and attack doors in the wall. Is it because they can't path to my guys, that they have a zero percent chance to hit and don't bother to try and shoot or is the mod that I'm using somehow bugged where my guys can shoot out but they can't shoot in?

I'm using the enhanced defense mod. The thing is my guys can fire through it from a large number of blocks away. I also didn't have this problem before I fully enclosed my base with my wall, is it maybe a pathing issue?

Even Scythers and Centipedes with AoE guns? Man, it just feels like cheating right now. Maybe I need to revise my defences so they aren't so strong or something.

I had a couple wargs that I kept going on human meat. It worked well until mechanoids killed them.

There's a reason the largest population centers were established in temperate areas with access to fresh water and good farmland. And while you do get people like the Inuit that survive in the arctic they never have to deal with -100 C.

Minigun users will never hit the guy they're shooting at, but they'll shred everything around them so aim at someone in the middle of the enemy formation and watch them eat poo poo.

The geothermal and solar collector are connected to the rest of your power grid, right? There needs to be a direct conduit connection between whatever produces power and whatever draws power, though most power drawing items will extend a small a short distance away on their own.

It can be useful to keep grenades, a minigun or some other high damage quick firing weapon around to punch holes in walls when theres a fire. Deconstructing takes too long and I think the outrush of hot air can actually hurt anyone standing right next to the deconstructed wall.

Zhentar posted:The impression I've always had is that the insectoids are simply feral, with no masters around to serve (their civilization(s) collapsed, and not necessarily at the hands of either mechanoids or insectoids), rather than having turned against their masters. I don't think that any official lore states either way. It states somewhere in the game that insectoids where genetically engineered to be dropped on a mechanoid infested world and destroy them without further supervision. Like all of these sorts of things, they went out of control and are now a major threat to everyone.

Eventually a big, red, scary tree will appear and one of your colonists will go to it and write an arcane book, which you can use to build a research bench that gives you access to cult stuff like altars and cult attire and such. You can then build a temple and designate how often your pawns worship the various gods you can discover through research. Once you've worshiped enough or sacrificed enough food and animals you'll be able to sacrifice pawns to use spells. For Cthulhu, the first god I discovered, there's a spell to cause ship pieces to rain down on the map and another that replaces one of your pawns appendages (Including eyes) with various tentacle themed limbs that give a significant boost to related stats.

Keep in mind that if sappers show up with raids they can and will make a mess of whatever walls you're using to enclose your space. Keep some defensive emplacements near your outer walls just in case someone breaks through.

Build 2 layers of stone walls about 4 tiles apart, its fire proof and will slow down sappers enough so you can get your guys ready. You can even sprinkle some IEDs in the area between the walls as a nasty surprise for anyone trying to break in unopposed.

Coolguye posted:this uses components in such a number that it's basically reserved for 'mega victory lap' Isn't it 1 component per IED? If you place an IED every 5 (or whatever) blocks it shouldn't end up costing that much unless you're wall covers a ludicrously large area. Or, build stone doors into the outer wall that you forbid, and then place the IEDs in front or behind the door. The sapper/raider will go and break down the door and then promptly funnel into an IED so none are wasted by never being stepped on.

They can, but if its not actually walled in it won't get very hot and it'll dissipate very quickly. I noticed that at some point the penalties for being in a small place (Like when mining) and "cabin fever" have been removed, which I am very happy about.

Zhentar posted:Cabin fever hasn't changed at all, as far as I can tell. Do prisoners just not get it anymore then? Cabin fever used to be a big obstacle to recruiting long term prisoners since the mood penalty grew quite large, but I've kept people for over a year now and they aren't suffering anything.

I'd get incredibly bored with the game if things didn't happen to threaten my stuff every now and then. Have you dealt with mechanoids yet? As bad as raiders can be a large mechanoid attack is incredibly brutal.

For infestation issues get a mod that adds embrasures and replace a wall in each bedroom with one, it'll let you shoot into the room without exposing your guys until the bugs smash down the door.

Baronjutter posted:Embrasures are cool but really game breaking. I wish they were vanilla but the AI knew how to deal with them better. For whatever reason this happens when the enemies path towards your pawns is blocked by a door, if you build a wall with embrasures but leave an unobstructed path the ones with guns/bows will shoot at your pawns again. I think what happens is the AI sees a door and no other way to physically reach your pawns and goes into sapper mode, over riding their normal behavior, probably to stop you walling up and just lobbing mortar shells at them until they die.

You do see the connection between your colony being a spartan hell camp and all of these mental breaks, right? also lol at all of your pawns having massive alcohol/smokeleaf tolerances.

Dejawesp, have you considered building a blockhouse out front of your usual defenses for the people you don't want around but don't have the time right now to harvest? They can act as ablative armor against incoming raids, and if they break and go beserk its no harm done to anything at all important.
