I've seen fire and I've seen rain edition
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.

>that faggot who thinks having a good shooter is useful in the lategame
makes literally zero difference when you get 40 raiders or 60 manhunters
In the mean time even your no passion guy can become good at something actually useful simply by doing it all day erry day
>my people wont put food in the meal storage area
>haven't added any new mods
>just broke on its own
what do i do
Hmm... has the food spoiled? You might have Allow Rotten turned off.
Or is it freshly made food?
freshly made.
>Save a guy after 16 mad boars massacre his group of traders

>Has depressive, goes Berserk two days later
>Gets killed by my katana-wielding chef
At least the sarcophagus tells his story.
Interesting that it mentions bloodshed. Almost foreshadowing of his fate. Real avant-garde shit.
Make sure someone is assigned to haul things and make sure that no other area has food storage turned on
yea all checked
Holy shit I'm only using sarcophagi from now on
I made a thing
it's not retarded enough

it's retarded

Should I store medicine in the freezer?
only herbal med needs to be freezed
normal and glitter med only need a roof
Do my dogs care where they sleep? Do humans mind sharing bedrooms with their dogs?
It might lead to a disturbed sleep debuff
no bonus for having them inside
so leave them out imo
>order a wooden foot installed on colonist
>operation fails and the patient's torso gets fucked up
and people have had even worse results, reddit might find this hilarious but I sure as hell find this extremely stupid, the surgery system needs a fucking rework
>what are sieges
I doubt you actually play the game
Yea it's pretty broke. I've had readable ones like where a heart surgery failed and the health tab showed a incision on torso, but a lot of the time it's what you described.
I've tried to install a wooden leg on someone, had the operation botch, then had to patch up a brain injury. Or another one where I wanted to amputate an infected leg. Doc botched it, and amputated the wrong damn leg.
Doctors in Rimworld are blind motherfuckers, I swear.
>no plasteel
every fucking playthrough
If you're on a mountainous map, there more than likely is plasteel somewhere in them thar hills.
Get the 1 mod that lets you scan areas for minerals.
>Get the 1 mod that lets you scan areas for minerals.
No, I 'll do it the way it's intended
God speed strip mining the entire map.
>Rim dog
Dude, you're a tryhard who's painfully shit at this game. Sieges are just pirate steel delivery. You can break a siege even if all of your colonists have 1 in shooting.
>no walls
do you want infestations? Because thats how you get infestations.
you get infestations anywhere as long as the roof is 'overhead mountain'
alright guys
enough of save scumming
i deleted my 70~ hour save and i'm only going to play it with the way its meant to be played with
i wish the game never had the option to save scum, i also wish this was for xcom
its a pain to relearn the game from scratch when you wanna get good
>great skills
>incapable of none

>Spine: Shattered
reee
Do carpets collect dirt? I noticed less dirt behind the places with carpets and I made a welcome mats everywere now
If only you had mods my man, if only you had mods..
I think it only makes dirt more visible?
On my way. Didn't even find any plasteel at all yet lmao. I bought that measly 10 plasteel
The only way to deal with that is to either place incendiary traps which I can't afford, or play reactively
Just scanline the entire mountain.
just pray it doesn't spawn in your hospital while you have people in there
I've found machinery so I am gonna build incendiaries
They'll get mood debuffs in cramped enviroment
This nigga got a peg leg and survived and warg revenge
I immediately slaughtered my pooch for meat,dat starting pemmican don't last long
My one-armed pyromaniac lesbian is trying to scissor her stepmom.
Get it together, Nicky.
yeah. For my last colony I forgot to pick permadeath.
Afte i realized that i was like "well, I'm not gonna savescum anyway" but I caught myself way too often just closing the game when shit hit the fan.
Glad i let it die after the last catastrophe. Was a decent end for them.
I also learned the hard way to check health status before capturing someone.
In vanilla you can't do anything when someone has a broken spine. Can't even release them and throw them out.
So you basically have to kill him or feed him for the rest of his miserable life.
I suggest harvesting some organs and then euthanize him. Or kill him by harvesting the heart or something, but i think the mood debuff is larger that way.
The gods of RNG have smiled upon me. Unfortunately I am still short of it for the analyzer
Meanwhile no plasteel from digging yet. The only plasteel in the map is probably in my mountain walls lmao
I commend your dedication.
Fuckin' bionic arms man.
I've got four colonists missing an arm now and haven't seen a single bionic arm available in years.
Most space traders will have them. Depending on your luck getting those fuckers.
I've had six space traders now and none had arms.
Plenty of eyes, though. Also lungs and kidneys but I can harvest those.
On tonight's episode of big brother: rimjobworld
They dig really fucking fast and they don't have anything more important to do atm. This is my most successful game so far. I think I'll either find plasteel and gold and finish the game or I'll die from infestation
Might be worth making some doors with all that spare stone so you can make a furnace for when you do get an infestation.
Nothing kills bugs quicker than 400+c temps.
This firebreak will stop the fire, r-right?
Yep. You might want to haul some of that wood though, it will catch alight.
You will get rain soon anyway. Rain always follows a fire.
It should, yeah.
Infestation!
>jump to event
>one single hive w/ 2 mega spiders
>nothing to worry about
>take care of them
Two days later, I realize the main infestation was on the other side of my base. and I've got megaspiders fucking everywhere.
Thanks for not showing me that, RW.
same thing happened to me
you should get as many messages as there is centers of infestation imo
post screenshoot btw
>muh catcpcha meme detached the picture
fucking google you ruined my epic post
Yeah, the fire didn't make it to the break. Oh well.
How do I do that exactly?
How did you not see them before though? You don't look at half your base?
>tree near the firebreak
Nope, it will catch the tree and spread to the grass on the other side, if you are unlucky.

Did I do the right thing?
If you aren't struggling against the raids there was no reason to keep him
you did gud

>"i might as well send out my armed people and kill of a few of them before retreating to my heavily fortified killzone"

Fugg.
Turrets are ridiculously inaccurate now so it's not surprising.
>furnances
>Nothing kills bugs quicker than 400+c temps.
What do you mean? Teach me your secrets, senpai.

Fun.
I sorted it out before I took a pic. Took a bit of kiting but still annoying.
>How did you not see them before though? You don't look at half your base?
My base is pretty big, and it happened in a remote corner of my base that doesn't really have anything important. I've got a geothermal over there, a few empty bedrooms (some who used it shacked up with others, and some died), and a few fields that aren't being used because it's winter.
What happens if you land on an island?
How to make non-ugly colonies? I try, but I can't get out of my square habit.
Nothing's different, except on coasts, where you have a huge body of water on one side.
>assign animal area so it doesn't eat all your good food
>animal starves to death because it can't get to the kibbles
what am I missing here
... Put the kibbles in the animal area?
I'm gonna download the unstable build tomorrow and play it. How is it so far?
maybe you should play with blocks instead
Should I get Jaiden?
Great fighting skills, he could learn to make art, and a psychopath, but he can't do anything else.
If you can afford idle hands, why not.
Psychopath and Psychically Dull say yes.
>medical assistant as childhood
>can't do medicine
Combinations like those feel like such a waste.
OH FUCK YOU CASSANDRA
>cave base
>first playthrough
>random; challenging
>LITERALLY NOTHING happens for a year
>start over on classic; challenging
Grenades are way too overpowered.
Three raiders just showed up all with grenades and they took out all seven of my colonists without even getting hit.
I was rushing to gun turrets but hadn't quite finished them yet.
move to the left
Sheriffs are possibly THE worst of all the adult backstories. Moreso if their childhood prevents them from engaging in combat. You're doing yourself a favor by mercy-killing the useless fuck.
Wait you can get a pacifist sheriff? Jesus Christ how horrifying
>why not.
Gee, I wonder why one shouldn't want to have his life depend on a psychopathic, psychically dulled master assassin who can't do anything else than kill people and make shoddy art. Oh, but he likes animals.
You know another failed artist that liked animals? Hitler.
>get colonist with annoying voice
>whatever, no big deal
>gets a burned eye
>now an automatic -40 with every other colonist
>get raided by other colonist's brother
>guess who got the final shot in
I'm a little concerned
Clearly she was a "medical assistant" if you know what I mean
Does any type of buiildable flooring deter the hives from popping up?
what determines a hive popping up? just strasight RNG or does it take into account is you're playing like a turtle holed up in a mountain entirely or does it not matter if you have a single tile of mined underground vs all of it mined
Are you saying that this colonist can do nothing wrong?
Is there anyone already working on a rape mod? Serious question.
Basically can spawn anywhere that's dug into a mountain. Only thing that determines it
so is it safe to assume that more area dug into mountain = more chance of hive appearing? or is it roughly the same no matter what?
I harvested a colonist with a annoying and shit stats and 3 of my colonist got a "my rival died" mood buff.
From what I've seen so far it typically spawns either near or inside your base and always in dug out mountains.
Problem is, this colonist is my best crafter, plus second best builder and shooter. She's just an outstanding member of the community, who happens to be annoying and disfigured.
Behold, the biggest booby prize of all backstory combos.
I swear I remember seeing one who could only do Animals, and they were at a 2 or a 3.
