I've just started playing this the first time, just core no royalty. Playing an initial fort on peaceful setting to just learn the base mechanics. Doing many things wrong, I'm sure Any mods I should have just on my first-pass? Things like Interaction Bubbles, which I've put in, which is neat.

There's something so wierd looking about the font rendering in this game for me. Or maybe I'm just not used to seeing plain old helvetica as an in-game font. What this game really needs is a 'replace' hotkey where you can hold down, like, ctrl-alt and click over the top of something and it lines up all the material next to it and then takes down the old item and puts in the new one as a single task. I'm guessing there's a mod for it. quote:Someone mentioned Hospitality mod-- looking at your base, I think you'd be really into it. You can build guest rooms so visitors will stay for a few days in your base. The mod settings let you set the visitor group size and frequency. You can even designate areas from which the visitors will buy stuff. Most of my bases have a "hotel" building for guests with lots of shelves for whatever trade goods I'm trying to sell. They'll buy food, drugs, and clothing so regularly you will almost never need to send out trading caravans to unload goods. Oh I quite like the idea of becoming a hotelier.

Some of my most important colonists are approaching their 90s (they were old when I got them), what's the lifespan on these dudes after I replace their organs with bionics? Also, first base pride (even though I'm cheating by being peaceful)

Speaking of indoor farms and zztt events, the big thing that I need batteries for is for the period when the sunlamps are still on but the solar power is low. Would it maybe just be easier to have all of the sunlamps on a seperate circuit run by solar power and then they can just blink off being underpowered for a few mintues at twilight but the important heating/cooling/doors/etc run off geothermal which is steady? Then I can just drop the batteries altogether. Will crop blight jump walls? I might divvy the interior farm up.

PMush Perfect posted:1) That in theory makes sense, except then you're opening your indoor farm up to being sucker-punched by an eclipse event instead, if/when you have one while it's cold. I'd put the heating for the farm on the geo circuit and the lighting on the solar circuit. I just don't have enough geo to cover the big power-sucking sunlamps. There's some wind but I'm not in a very windy spot. If the lights go out due to an eclipse the crops should be fine as long as the heat is still on, right?

Eh, I gave it a go: The base now runs off the primary power network battery-free running from geothermal, looks to have more than enough capacity for all of the cooling in summer. All of the solar/wind have been switched to the secondary grow-lamp-only network and the batteries have been relocated there to power the lamps through the twilight, with the buildings that network runs into all sandstone and tiles and with poppers. If this works I may expand it to a second indoor farm similar to the first so all my farming is inside and year-round. There's a switch to reconnect the two networks if needs be.

It really bugs me that the most efficient way to build wind turbines is with two facing each other so that the long part of their exclusion zone overlap. They're wind turbines, they shouldn't be facing opposite ways!

Honestly, the 'ending' (as much as it's not really much of an end in a game like this since we'll just reload a pre-ending save and it's just a 'you've dominated' checkbox) is a bit of a letdown. They really missed a beat not actually showing your ship leaving the rimworld. Scroll credits on the left half of the screen and on the right half have your ship slowly move from the bottom to top while the background fades from atmosphere to space and stars and you pass the original ship you see on the title screen still broken up and then you pass over the disk of the rimworld etc. It'd be a lovely thing to see the ship you yourself built there. Or there could be a fancy looking empire ship sprite in its place for the royalty ending quest, I assume it's similar. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 09:35 on Jan 26, 2021 |

One of my psychics is dignified/artistic focus. Right now I have them doing artistic and they're meditating like this: If I put a meditation throne in there, will that switch them into dignity mode and they won't be able to meditate against the statues? Or does it not matter and the statues feed the effect anyway?

So marine and cataphract armor are slower than recon armor, but are the helmets anything but a direct upgrade? Doesn't look like they touch the move speed.

Asimo posted:Pretty much. They don't explode that badly (more like a mortar shell than antigrain) and they only go off when damaged but you'll still want to keep any you snagged in an isolated bunker or the like with at least a wall or two between them and anything important. I tested an the single wall seems to be safe to separate them, it takes out the wall but doesn't damage the neighbor. I'm starting a collection.

Uranium! Max HP, for explosion absorption if need be. Just on the power vault. I had way too much after a very generous refugee. I know I should probably sell it but whatever walls are only 5. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 10:26 on Feb 4, 2021 |

I know there's lots of mods for this kinda thing, but it honestly kinda baffles me that the dev hasn't just... popped in a full color spread of both types of carpets and of colored lights. It'd be incredibly trivial and nice to have.

I think slapping down a medical sleeping spot for immediate treatment is intended to be standard procedure that everyone is meant to have figured out but is obtuse enough that a lot of people miss it. It's how you treat people out in the field in caravan battles or enemy base attacks.

Also, speaking of turrets, is the outgoing accuracy affected by surrounding them with sandbags, or just the incoming? What about autoturrets and uranium shooters?
