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.

>Surgeon successfully extracts his kidney and lung, before getting into a poor mood
Reminds me of the one time I had one of my surgeons operating on one of those cryptosleep casket guys to save his ass and ended up going berserk in the middle of the operation and tried to eat him.
Since the game's visual combat indicator is literally nothing more than two pawn sprites bumping together I just though she beat him to death until I stumbled upon his corpse in the freezer half a year later to find all his injuries entirely made up of bite marks which at the time was really strange considering my surgeon was unarmed due to the fact that she was prone to this kind of shit.

Really hope "north" isn't Canada. There are no jobs here. Depressing thing is there's constantly new immigrants in my apartment complex and they (several were electrical or mechanical engineers) say they couldn't find a job in a year so they're moving on to an other country. The only ones who stay are on welfare.

I've spent my last few saves on mountainous maps, building into the mountain. It seemed to me to be the best way about. But looking back all of my somewhat successful colonies that had big complexes with electricity and happy colonists, none of them were dug into the mountain.
This may seem obvious, but I've realized that dorf mode isn't a great idea if your three colonists aren't all good at mining. The time it takes for you to build a spacious, decent looking house is made much longer when you're mining out every room.
My next colony I'm going to try a flat environment, and see how that works out. I'm really enjoying how vastly different the experience is based purely on where your colony is and how you decide to begin it.

I wonder if insect hives can be used to defend against sappers. Like a long corridor that circles the underground base, expressly there so bugs spawn there. Sappers dig in and find a face full of giant bug.

I take it you can't tame bugs.

I couldn't clear all of them and one egg is left. Time to heal up and then the plan is to kill the remaining ones and leave one egg alive for harvesting insect jelly.
Thomas Myers
Aggressive and near impossible to tame so people don't. Used to be you could "farm" insect jelly by killing all the bugs, gathering the jelly, then waiting a day for them to spawn new bugs but the hives now need tending by bugs or they die.

What's the optimal setup to defend your base? I had a bunker on my last colony that I made by building a room then deconstructing firing ports. Backed up by turrets and sandbags, it worked well.
Until the infestation that is, but what're ya gonna do?
Jordan Lee
Use embrasures.
Henry Hughes
I took a liking to the turret-less bunkers like in >. In my first few games I'd build tons of turrets, but some would usually get destroyed and it'd get heavy on resources after a while Infestations are a bitch, but some people deal with them by outfitting their mountain areas with some kind of method to superheat them, like coolers facing the wrong ways, geothermal stations or just plain old wood that gets lit up
Ian Price
embrasures feel kinda cheat desu also feels silly for them to not exist in the base game
Julian Martinez
Turrets are pretty terrible because they simply die in a single hit and explode. They are great in massive numbers but tend to fall down like a deck of cards.
Same can't be said about superhuman bionic killing machines equipped with power armor. Get a guy like that or 3 and you can single handedly take down armies from a firing bunker. It's insanely efficient and fun too.
I wish the game had impassable windows already. We seriously need these already.
Grayson Scott
Until the dev puts them in default or someone makes a better version, it works well enough.
Elijah Powell
Embrasures dont even work that well/ Maybe that's because i'm using wood, but still.
They either shoot me through the embrasure before my guys can down them, or they kick in the door to my murderbox and melee everyone to death. Dont forget about those grenade/molotov fuckers.
Liam Stewart
>Wood >Ever Nigger, cmon here.
Get your ass some fucking GRANITE BLOCKS.

instead of shooting from directly behind the embrasure shoot from a regular wall to the left/right of it
Embrasures only provide as much cover as a sandbag but they dont allow attackers to cross over

what happened? I didn't send anyone up there. No one got injured at any point.
Where did the eggs go? I am now a sad pupper with no eggs. Do they just up and die if no bugs around them to tend to the eggs? Because the bugs usually didn't wander but suddenly they all just upped and ran into my turrets. Is that what happened?
Cooper Miller
if there aren't bugs nearby then the hives die off to prevent easy farming

Tbh of all the things Tynan or whatever could add to the game children ought to be one of the tops. Imagine the burden of having to take care of a bunch of useless little shits that don't listen to a thing you fucking say and wander off and get eaten by manhunting elephants, causing their parents to go into a tantrum spiral? It'll be Dwarf Fortress all over again!
Noah Jenkins
general consensus is that games are too short to actually raise children to adulthood, so something like a vat-grown system would probably work better
>like hydroponics, would have to protect it >takes maybe a year or so >more upgraded vats allow more selection of skills >traits and looks are gotten from parents
Ayden Perry
I wish there was more of a long-term endgame goal. "Get off the planet" is too short term honestly and unless you're starting from tribal you can get that done within the first few years which sucks ass. Sure, you could artificially lengthen your game, but that's no fun. That's why I like Dorf Fort so much, it's really just "survive as long as you can against ridiculous odds" at its core
Xavier Sullivan
>games are too short to actually raise children to adulthood Then make the game not be geared for shitty ship-building? Or make ship building as a form of raids on enemy bases or making multiple colonies on same save? I mean, there's multiple ways to get around this. Imagine you fly a ship into a really hostile territory to mine out some rare resources.
Alexander Sullivan
Are there any mods to stablize the moods in this game a bit?
I mean, yeah, I get it's upsetting, but, I think it's pretty dumb for people to go into a murderous rage because their pants have a rip in them.
Jayden Allen
>it's really just "survive as long as you can against ridiculous odds" at its core
That's end-game Rimworld too, though. Eventually your colonists will soft cap indefinitely and it'll be hard to get new people, with your wealth still climbing tribe hordes will certainly wipe you out unless you stagnate on purpose/build a ship.
Keep in mind it's an Alpha lad, by release the ship escape might be more fleshed out or not even there at all
It would be cool as hell to drop-pod your people into tribal territory and light their shit on fire as revenge though

Guys how sensitive is the game to mods for different iterations of the same build?

Christian Lopez
That's the problem with Rimworld though, you're constantly working towards your "out" which is building that ship. With Dwarf Fortress the best you could possibly do is build the perfect impenetrable self-sustaining fort otherwise end-game goals are really just up to the player (building a statue of Donald Trump out of Adamantium or something).

It was a minor infection at first. I have two doctors. They treat each other. The problem was one of them was dazed so I let a rookie heal him. Even with fresh medicine and a hospital bed the rookies bad skills caused this. I didn't think he'd die.

Are you tired of bug infestations popping out constantly? Learn 1 neat trick to easily destroy hordes of bugs easily.
>Place all your beds and vents next to the entrance, you'll need them to easily get out as soon as possible >Place an incendiary IED somewhere out of way so your colonist don't step on it. >When the infestation occurs, immediately run the bugger out and forbid anyone from entering the room. Deconstruct the vent. >Station your repairman around the walls because the bugs may try to tunnel through. >Eventually one of them will wander into the IED and set the whole swarm ablaze. Since you have no vents and no wooden walls, they should quickly die of heat and flame then you can go in there and mop up the rest or set up traps/turrets to farm them for meat and jelly.
If they spawn in your living room/workplace, you're fucked unless you also place a turret in there for insurance. You can then play hide and seek by poking out of their bedrooms.
Christopher Harris

>You can then play hide and seek by poking out of their bedrooms.
this doesn't work anymore, when you do that hide and seek thing with animals/bugs/people, they beat on the door for a while before going back to what they were doing, meaning after one or two times even a granite door will break
I've been here since 2008 and if you're going to be a cunt in a comfy general you can leave, lad
