Rimworld General

Soylent brown edition

We don't have an OP pastebin yet so here's some shit

rimworldgame.com/

RimWorld follows three survivors from a crashed space liner as they build a colony on a frontier world at the rim of known space. Inspired by the space western vibe of Firefly, the deep simulation of Dwarf Fortress, and the epic scale of Dune and Warhammer 40,000.

Tip for you guys juggling with moods in crammed places!

Remake your beds if they are shoody or poor or even normal when you have a constructor who is skilled. Masterwork or even Excellent, Superior and Good beds give really happy thoughts regardless how crammed their bedroom is!

It also makes dining rooms more beautiful the better the furniture is and you also train your crafter!

Also if the space allows it, always make double beds as you never know who marries who!

>Prepare Carefully

that mod isn't updated for A14?

nah dude
set cannibal to 100% in scenario settings
that way every recruit will have it

Also another tip is you can "uninstall" furniture and place them in storage and sell them for good money! You don't only have to make art that takes forever!

art is much more valuable for the work involved

Not really.

Constructors are vital for any base. Artists are not. A skilled worker makes defenses and after doing all that work on the walls you can also make them into profitable crafters. Art, especially grand sculpting takes forever while furniture is made in a day. It's a good way to get rid of perhaps all those blocks you have lying around.

so what is this general going to be about?
any button to take a pic from the whole colony?

Yes it is.

Someone put it up on Git Hub and updated it.

Level 20 Construction = Masterwork furniture items give a +100 beauty bonus to the room they're in and sell for 1000 silver
Level 20 Art = Masterwork artworks give a +500 beauty bonus to the room they're in and sell for 50000 silver
both can only be sold to exotic traders

Art is definitely worse for training levels but it's much stronger at high levels

Nah not that I know of

It'll probably be about dumb shit, or porn.

i hope we can all post about our waky colonies set on the tundra and mountains.

CCL has a minimap feature with a few overlays that will show the basics of the map

what are some good mods?

Set 10% chance each of Psychopath, Cannibal, and Bloodlust, then just go out of your way to recruit any NPCs that get generated with one. It's a lot less cheesy that way.

It's also a lot more tedious and annoying to fuck around with.

>bought a prostetic arm for a guy
>install it
>doc fucks it up
>lose the protestic I paid an arm and a leg for

fuck you

Tedium is quite literally the entire point of the game.

I set 100% Psychopath; 40% Bloodlust; 30% Cannibal; 20% Volatile, Pyromaniac and Brawler; 10% Greedy, Jealous, Nervous or Abrasive; 5% Slothful Hard Worker or Depressive

Because the lore setup is for a prison planet with a psychic drone disabling the natural empathy response and everything else is a side-effect

Should I upload the Scenario?

Wait so you lose all your bionic shit now too if you fail the surgery? This has to be a new thing.

jesus christ i just got this game yesterday and im having a fucking blast.
I thought this sort of game would lose my attention after a few hours but so far its paced quite well and ive progressed through the raids and stuff with satisfying difficulty.
i had my best shooter with the survival rifle take out 2 of a 5 man raid party who were equiped with emp grenades and an incendiary launcher. flanked with my other shittier guys with pistols and forced the retreat of the raiders.
then today i found a room inside the mountain i was occupying filled with 3 grubs and 2 scythers or whatever they are. Set up some deadfall traps and shitty gun turrets with my dudes equiped with the incendiary launcher and some pistols in the back behind some sand bags.
my retarded camel Bessy got stuck in the firefight and we nearly died from heat exhaustion but we did that shit. Now its chill time again, i just bought an assault rifle and traded a bunch of materials for 2k silver, going to maybe start up a brewery? idk my colony is pretty shoddy but thats what i expected from my first playthrough. I've survived a lot longer then i expected, the game is pretty forgiving sometimes and othertimes not so much im looking at you infections.

This is a pretty brutal game.

He defended his calves and wife heroicly.

F

yo how do i get a friendly who came out of a stasis pod to join my colony

if i placed a sofa on a workbench, will they sit on it while they work?

also how do i force traders? i havent had one since a year ago

Capture him

Welcome to Lakeside Ridge, in the middle of the desert where no meat is there to feed my doggos

I thought someone was about to shit onto that baby.

I'm going to just go to bed.

they jumped out of the pod and ran straight to my medical beds
is there no other way then to like beat the tits out of them and lock em up
'

Yes, there's no point in rescuing pods, either convince them to join or cut them up for their organs.

Draft someone and right click > attempt to arrest. They join or they become organ donors.

>two deer kill me

simply

EPIC

Any good tricks to train medicine? I also hate how all skills deteriorate all the time. I got a prisoner. Should I just install peg legs or something?

Is there an option to remove skill rust?

get a few prisoners and regularly beat them up then treat them
repeat
also remove their limbs so they can't fight back

WHY CAN'T I HOLD ALL THESE SKINS

>can never build cooler
I hope this is on ice sheet.

Did ya have a gun?

Did your Colonist have at least 4-5 pts in Shooting?

Why are the character models so bad?
The shape of some of their lower bodies is reminding me of this thing

It's a brilliant optical illusion, the first time I saw it I had to convince my brain that it was in fact not seeing a hairy asshole

How do I forbid my people from eating fertile eggs? The tribes fuckers like to eat shit raw over prepared simple meals for some reason.

>can't teach muffalos to haul items

why

Right on my crops and right in here. Ok. Nice. Thanks game. Thanks.

You should definitely be able to since the traders muffalo haul shit

>can't collapse roofs on it because that got nerfed to 20% of normal damage it would do to the ship
>can't burn it because of your shitty wood base

post pictures of your massacred colony when it's done

both yes, I was mad

What do you do with a guy who's had his foot removed?

I'm playing tribal, and he keeps getting pissed at his lack of foot, tries to beat people over the head with his steel spiked club, and everyone just outruns him so he gets depressed and beats his dog and wife

It's a sad sight to see

build traps and turrets around it

What do about old gunshots and scratch scars?

My settlers keep using that as an excuse to burn the warehouse down and beat the artist to death

>Can't even fit everything on the screen at once
>Can't assign any kind of production task from a bench because the buttons to do that are off-screen

Nice UI scaling there guys

>4-5 points in shooting
>ever enough
if you have 3 colonists and they all have guns with a high fire rate maybe

he has 7 guys
I've taken out 1 centipede+3 scythers with 7 guys very recently
4 of them were melee at that

he can trap the area and make them fight with no cover too

They're simple on purpose so you can fill in the blanks with your mind automatically, filling in more detail and giving more personality to the colonists than if they had just added visual noise.

I thought they were weird at first too, but after a while you'll get used to them and likely come to appreciate them.

You can give him a bionic or prosthetic leg, which can be bought from traders.

Use mouse wheel or page up/page down

You could try replacing limbs with really severe scars, but unless you have the silver to replace several limbs with expensive bionics you'll probably have to cycle in fresh colonists with no wounds.

Remember, scars can be prevented entirely by immediate medical care. Even severe wounds treated with no medicine won't get any scars if you treat it immediately.

I did just this. Just minus the traps. I went in with EMP grenades and armed everyone. Took 'em out without too much issue.

EMP grenades are all you need really
ideally you have 3 sets of grenades but 1 will slow them down enough to do the trick

>Implying

I literally cannot reach the shit with my mouse

pls stop

Only one grenade per mechanoid will work. After the first stun they become immune to it, so be sure to use that time to reinstall turrets or something else productive.

What's that blue bar on the left? Did you build on the edge of the map?

No, that's what I get when I go to "add bills" on the Electric Stove. The menu goes all the way past the top of my screen

How do I deal with trading ships?
I findit so retarded having to move all my cargo to a specific spot just so ships can grab it, it's a pain in the ass, why not just od it like with the averag etrader?

no one else has this bug.
are you using mods?

Have you tried not playing in 500x400?

Just build a trade beacon in your storage, you don't need one outside. They automatically just drop it as close to the beacon as possible.

Some fuckin pokemon reject with a big horn just showed up
What do?

>Have you tried not playing in 500x400?

It doesn't seem to be a bug at all, I couldn't even get all the buttons to show up on screen when creating a new colony. Seems no matter what resolution I set it to it causes these issues with the UI

kill it incredibly carefully
kill it tho
the horn is worth 2k silver

what operating system does your computer use

Windows 10, it came pre-installed with the rig, unfortunately

I'm playing at a slightly larger resolution than you are and i can see most of the button just halfway on the screen. Is your monitor small, or are you playing in windowed mode?

It does massive damage, so mortar it or lure it into a turret trap if you can.

It's like a 32 inch television, but I can't get the vertical resolution to go any higher than 662. Tried windowed mode but it just didn't work

>It's like a 32 inch television,

then maybe you shouldn't be complaining about it not working with a computer game

>Windows 10

It wasn't exactly my idea, but it's retarded that this sort of thing is an issue in the first place. Most games I own don't have this kind of issue. The only games I've had this issue with are this and Stellaris and Stellaris was at least semi-tolerable. Rimworld however is -literally unplayable- when half the important functions just don't appear on screen

I wish I could go back in time and kill Bill Gates

Well, expecting an early access game to be playable on a.. Television isn't very reasonable.

The most you can do is ask for better scaling in the reddit suggestion thread, the dev reads and responds to the posts there.

Do I have to make a...Reddit account to post there? There's already several threads on the Steam discussions board about it but I don't know if he reads those. For the time being though I have an unplayable game. Woo...$30 down the drain!

I doubt he reads the discussions except to see what the masses think. He regularly reads the subreddit in general, so unfortunately you're much more likely to get your plea answered there. You could also refund it, even if you have over 2 hours I've seen people with 8 hours get refunded, they're very reasonable with it.

I may just refund it for now, honestly

>tfw my best shooter is a psychopath just had to kill his brother and mother who raided us
>went from pretty neutral with everyone
>now he just keeps going berserk and we keep beating the piss out of him then healing him
>His only friend is the Doctor who keeps patching him up

Also he pretty much carried the colony from the get go. Always hunted on an empty stomach when i fucked up and forgot to watch the food level
always fucked up raiders barely missing a shot
Was always first in to fight animals going crazy

Booth deserves better

>Trade caravan rolls in
>Selling a whole lotta ready-cooked meals
>Tribe's starving, so buy as much as I can for storage
>Come tea time, everybody's vomiting
>Each and every one of these fine meals caused food poisoning
>Because we're out of food, and people are vomiting, everybody's starving now
>Tribe's dead the next day, either from madness from starvation, infighting from madness, or starvation

Holy fuck

WELCOME TO THE RIMWORLD MOTHERFUCKER

how do i get bionic limbs? i just recruited a perfect fit for my colony but the bitch is missing a leg which i didnt notice

You can give her a temporary peg leg with wood and medicine, and later buy a prosthetic or a bio-leg from traders.

Training animals is more or less useless with the current implementation. Hauling is the only place they really shine and most animals can't.

You CAN use dev mode and god mode to force them to haul but that's pretty cheesy.

>Roll for tribe
>Everybody's pretty much useless except for a war chief called Ave
>This guy looks like he could wrestle a mecha to death
>Just one problem, one weakness to this guy
>He's bonded to a yorkie called Tyranny, and we're on a jungle start so there's a lot of predators
>Several raids later, Ave is basically doomguy with a Pila at this point
>Suddenly, a panther wanders into the village, and wolfs down Tyranny in a couple of bites
>Ave, across the map, goes fucking berserk at the mere notion that his precious yorkie is dead
>Kills 3 other members of the tribe, including the only people who can doctor, the tribes huskie and cat, and has started a jungle fire, from trying to break into the town hall after the last survivors, during a drought, before he bleeds out

You can install him a shiny new wooden peg leg, click on him and go to health-operations

You can also just have two beacons, one inside your storage area and one outside where the stuff is dropped

>people are upset about harvesting a prisoner
Maybe they shouldn't have shot my miner in the brain with an arrow and then i wouldn't have had to take his one good leg and also a liver
And a lung
But noooooooo they just had to raid us
Fucking tribals

>Colonists getting upset that their lives are being saved through the suffering of someone who literally tried to murder them

There's harvesting an innocent crashed survivor and harvesting a pirate, one of these things is not okay

Does someone have like a general idea of what to get running when rolling a tribe?

I have no clue what the fuck I'm doing.

not to mention the amount of times I've NEEDED to harvest a prisoner's eye to replace a colonists one

I don't understand why they don't make this sorta shit based on Line of sight of the gruesome

Like His entire save wiped out because a small dog on the other side of the map was eaten

An entire tribe captured, can't do anything useful with them

This shit's fucky, you should be able to have a butcher cut people up in some hideaway away from the colony for the benefit of all, or maybe have the colonists fucking get used to having their enemies hearts cut out for use on grandma later

set up a research table and put some guy with your highest research skill on high priority
make a farm with a cooled storage room, build solar panels and connect them to batteries
