Thread 713861376

It must be the greatest game ever made if people are really paying all that to play it…

Only if you use the Vanilla Expanded mod series.

>>713861376 (OP)
If you're really into roleplaying and the base building, it's a fantastic game you can easily get 1000 hours out of. The developer charges out the ass for it because he knows what it's worth. I recommend you just pirate the DLCs honestly.

I'll just play dorfort thanks

>>713861376 (OP)
Buy vanilla then pirate the DLC like everybody else fearing the sting of the price. I bought all the DLC myself, but that's because I've gotten thousands of hours out of it so the price is justified in terms of $/hr.

>>713861905
>>713862181
Piracy is morally wrong, I’d never go that low, sorry.

>>713862290
Then perish.

>>713861376 (OP)
I've played it for llike 500hrs, so that's like 25 cents an hour. But also only poor losers care about the cost of stuff LMAO.

>>713861905
>1000 hours
Dude, if you have 1000 hours in a single game, you unironically needs to consult a psychiatrist like right fucking now

>>713862625
The game has been out for 12 fucking years, anon, 1000 hours isn't a lot over that span of time.

>>713861376 (OP)
yes.

>>713861905
I read that you could just put the DLC in the appropriate folder and it would work, but it didn't work for me. Is there a guide?

>>713862625
kek you have to go back.

Most DLCs are gimmicky shit you'll want to disable after 1-2 runs. Just pirate it.

>>713861376 (OP)
honestly i was disappointed in the game. i thought it was like as big as sim city and like a theme park simulation game in terms of little guys you can have but you can only really control like 10.

Daily reminder that randy random is the best way to experience rimworld

>>713862858
>he hasn't played the game
people regularly have 50 person colonies.

>>713862625
You likely have more than a 1000 hours in your favorite games.

Give me ONE reason to buy Anomaly

>>713862625
I have 6000 hours in a significantly shittier game.

>>713862958
shambler events are interesting and it really does feel like a zombie like horde breaking through your walls. if you have 100+ hours on rimworld then its a no brainer to get the dlcs. even the shittier ones.

>>713862954
That’s it? Some Dwarf Fortress players have 300 dwarves on their fortresses.

>>713862960
It's Hearts of Iron 4 isn't it?

i havent played it in years but whatever the max amount isnt enough.

No. Planetside 2.

You may ridicule me. I deserve it.

>>713862954
50 is way too many, the average is between 10 and 16

>i'll just play do- ACK!

>>713861376 (OP)
If I had a friend going in fresh I would recommend just buying the og game and seeing if its your thing. Rimworld is one of those games you either love to death or get bored in minutes. Honestly getting all the expansions is overkill because they all kinda do their own things. I would would pick and choose after deciding if the game is for you but here is the order in which I find them necessary.

>Ideology
This is the closest to what I would call a must have. It allows you to really diversify your colony
>Biotech
Every want to practice hard eugenics on your colonist and have space vampires. Here it is
>Anomaly
Not required at all. If you want to turn your colony into a horror move/scp investigatin unit. This will be your thing otherwise it's not worth it
Also I want to fuck the chick on the front cover.
>Royalty
Want to join space romans and go up the ranks with them? This is about all this expansion is good for. It's neat but very gimicky like anomaly.

>>713863186
yea it takes quite a bit of autism to get to 50 people. but its like those kenshi players that micromanage their 200 player squads. its not that difficult if you have a very invested playthrough.

What do we think of the Paradox ripoff?

>>713861376 (OP)
Retards will pay for it
I recommend either pirating it completely and using alternate methods to get the Steam mods or else just buy the base game and leave a negative review and then pirate the DLC since it's just files, not even .exe changes

Why?
He's openly stated his game won't go on sale because it's 'too good for that'
He's said before he actively will break mods with patches if they're 'copying' his DLC (aka mods he stole and implemented)
His refusal of actually engaging with the community is beyond retarded for an indie dev.

It's just a more accesible Dorf Fort

>>713862625
it would take an AI made up of all the great mathematicians to calculate how many hours I have in WoW

>>713863005
Dwarf Fortress and Rimworld aren't the same like that. Individual pawns have more value in Rimworld.
>>713863058
Might want to consider getting a more hardcore storyteller like Void or Winston Waves.

Oh no, no, no. Stardeus is alright though, it's basically just SoS2 but you start out in space.

>>713861376 (OP)
It is good, but Dwarfortress does everything better. Though the learning curve is steeper as a result.

>>713863543
Paradox could have easily made the Rimworld killer by reusing Prison Architect assets. That game feels like Rimworld just much more polished, it's a shame that literally nothing happens in it if you play it right.

>>713862625
Only a 1000? Fuckin newb

>>713861376 (OP)
this is all you need

>>713862625
You should only have over 1000 hours in a multiplayer game. If its a single player game then theres something wrong with you

Ideology is cult leader crap. Biotech is the only one truly worth it. Building your own army of robots, gene modding and cloning your colonists, techno vampirism. Phenomenal in comparison to the other expansions

Pirate the DLC for the version you're on, put it in the folder and launch initially. Then go into picrelated
When you get to the About page, edit the first link in notepad and delete this line from each individual DLC folder and save 1392840

>>713864936
Anon, I did
I pirated it since I don't support scams
My point was that Rimworld isn't a 'game' so much as a simulator of time wasting
there is no beginning or end really
You just kinda let the game decide what to fuck you with

>>713862625
how many hours do you have on this shithole website

>>713864275
You must play some mediocre single player games then. Games like Rimworld, Kenshi, Minecraft, etc all provide a lot of content you can engage with for a very long time without getting bored, especially because of mods.

>>713864558
Ideology lets you define the parameters of you colony though. It allows you to make slavers, turn women into cattle, and even make a cannibal. I think it is more necessary than Biotech.

>>713865753

>>713861376 (OP)
>Is this game really worth $125?
No way lol. This guy is a marketing genius for nickle and diming people on every single update like this.
It is a decent game thats sheer simplicity lends it to be very easy to mod and customize but that is the main thing going for it, it's basically a good sandbox and carried by the community mods.
At absolute best its only worth $50-$70 with everything. It's still ultimately just a 2d game with a bunch of RNG for everything. There is nothing specific in it that you can point to and say is worth that kind of money.

He's basically managed to make a creation club on steroids where he has simultaneously convinced people that paid updates are core-content they absolutely NEED and optional addons they must pay for so they keep paying and paying. Todd would be proud.

Imagine every EA game did this. You pay first for the shitty half-ass 0.6 demo version then you just pay again for every patch or update, next-gen marketing strategy.

>>713861376 (OP)
I play on higher difficulties and custom scenarios and treat it as a roguelike. I never get super far but it's fun to sink like 10-20 hours in a colony as a timewaster before shit hits the fan.

>>713864259
That reminds me i have Ratopia on my backlog

>>713861376 (OP)
I own every DLC except anomaly and have like 600 hours in the game. I can't wait to put another 100 hours in when the next DLC comes out.

This game would be actually good if the world outside of the player's base existed. NPC patrols/caravans/camps simulated on the map, if you enter a tile that the simulation is currently passing through it will spawn the appropriate faction composing that caravan on that tile as you enter. Faction settlements are actual settlements with randomly generated base structures defined by a faction's aesthetic. The game remembers which named NPCs live in each settlement. Make friends with NPCs, visit them, long distance romance, merc for a faction by joining their caravan or defending their base. All of this is possible because there are mods that have done these things. The devs just suck and need to hire someone to re-write their sloppy code.

>>713865857
what would you know though? why should we listen to you on this? perhaps you dont understand it?

>>713866195
Supposedly the upcoming DLC has a host of performance improvements so maybe the next one will be for the overworld.

>>713866161
I dread every update because my mods won't have updates immediately so i'll either have to keep checking for updates over the course of months, or try fucking with them myself to get them to work . Most i'm used to at this point so I don't want to suddenly lose content otherwise the upgrade is counterintuitive.

>>713866327
>paying for performance updates
dwarfGODS won once again

>>713861376 (OP)
Just pirate it. The only somewhat decent dlc is royalty (the first one) everything else is unnecessary shit. The game is fun for a couple dozen hours until you realize it's barebone and there's absolutely no story generating there. Its still fun to build tthe base but there's a lot of time wasted on crappy UI, unnecessarily detailed and inaccessible pawn/item info and shitty combat. The game has developed a cult worship from mentally ill masochistic trannies so take online opinions with a grain of salt. Still worth playing, just don't waste money and expect a great game.

>>713866273
>>713866273
>what would you know though? why should we listen to you on this? perhaps you dont understand it?
Listen to me on what? Don't understand what? Do you have something to say or is this just an AI generated generic contradiction?

>>713866519
did dwarf fortress ever fix... ammo, and enemies not being able to siege? these were like fundamental aspects of the game that didnt actually work on release, and everyone pretending to like it had no idea

>>713861905
1000 hours of which half was spent waiting for pawns to haul shit, set up a caravan to fight [x] who set up an object [Y] that emits negative effect [Z] on your colony, and having your colony standstill for 2 days because 5 caribou trampled your 5 pawns armed with machine guns lmao

All the DLC's aren't required. They are more so game modes or versions instead of additional content.

>>713861376 (OP)
It was worth that when I was buying each expansion new, like once every year or so. But in one go? For a new player? Absolutely not. Not unless you're dumping hundreds of hours into it (though you might)

>>713866820
>try some comparisons or literally anything to add weight to your opinion lil nigga. you failed to do so
What do you need me to compare it to, dwarf fortress is shit. Nearly any Bethesda game is a better sandbox but a hell of a lot harder to write a mod for.
I'm not here to give you a review. If you want to buy go buy but as seen by half the comments here, anyone with a brain pirates it.
Most of the free mods for this are better than the base game, Odyssey is blatant rip off of SoS with half the content, doesn't even have ship battles from what i've heard.

>>713864472
>"vanilla expanded" is now the only mods on the market
I know Oskar probably wishes that were true.

>>713864558

>Is this game really worth $125?

It depends. RW is a game that you could easily dump thousands of hours into. If you can do this, then sure, you're getting your money's worth. You can always just pirate the whole thing anyway, no one cares.

Truthfully, the only DLC that's an absolute must have is Biotech which adds a fuck ton of features that frankly should be base game

The others are basically game modes. You only enable Ideology if you want to do funny cult shit. Enabling Anomaly makes your entire playthrough center around Anomaly content. Royalty is the only other DLC you can safely enable for a normal playthrough without it completely and fundamentally changing the way you play.

>>713862290
Imagine paying for a physical labor simulation. Might as well just get into BBC porn.

>>713868374
i thought you could enable anomaly but not trigger it? or does it still fuck with you regardless?

>>713865753
You could do all of those things without ideology by just following your own rules.

>>713861376 (OP)

>the game would be good if were less abstracted!
The game wouldn't run if it were less abstracted. Ideas guys like you are retarded game designers because you don't spend a second contemplating the performance implications of your stupid wouldn't-it-be-cool-if's.

>>713868374
>>713868962
Anomaly is a lot more customizable now than at release. You can have ambient horror which removes the monolith, and meshes the monsters into more basic gameplay (but you can't do the finale that way) or you can adjust the percentage of anomaly related monsters and events to be any percent occurrence you want, including 0%.

WTF they increased the price?

>>713869286
Personally, I'd rather have a checklist of anomaly events so you can pick and choose which can happen. Because basic zombies are fine. But sometimes I DO NOT want a chance of Revenants or metal horrors spawning. That shit is extremely disruptive and demands you put everything down to deal with it.

>>713869172
>you don't spend a second contemplating the performance implications of your stupid wouldn't-it-be-cool-if's.
None of this would be tough on performance, for the NPC simulation you do not have to render shit that the user isn't seeing, it's basically just some simple occasional mathematical operations in the background to make slight adjustments to where people are, it could be once every few minutes.
The rest is just management and data storage, make an extra save file to store NPC locations, I think the game already stores NPCs in the background anyway.

>>713869425
Remember anon, support them! And support them stealing mods, charging you for it and of cousre, purposely breaking mods
Remember, real Gamers (tm) will support this scam!

holy shit if you bought it refund it asap

>>713869683
There are already a ton of mathematical operations in the background running the fucking map you're on, and you want to add more CPU draw. Frankly the game could do without memorising every NPC you've ever interacted with (killed in a raid) because it just bloats the save file until it gets fucked.

>>713869286
>Anomaly is a lot more customizable now than at release.

I'd be interested in trying some of it but I heard colonists RNG turn into monsters and I don't really want another vector for random death, especially if it is something that I won't find out until hours down the line where it is too late to revert a save.

>>713869425
No. The DLCs are still being charged at the standard rate, the base game actually went down in price last year. You're probably thinking of Factorio, which jacked up the price to adjust for inflation around the same time.

It really is pathetic just how slow Toady is at updating dwarf fortress and how all his blog posts are just ideasguy shit and not actual development on the game.

>>713869828
>I heard colonists RNG turn into monsters and I don't really want another vector for random death
Sounds like you're describing Metal Horrors, and yeah that one can be a real bitch. You have a pretty good chance to save your colonists after you discover it though. It's like chestbursters, but it's not a guaranteed death, and it spreads more secretly than something like facehuggers. Like if a cook is infected, he can infect food. And I assume a doctor can infect patients.

There are mods that make it less horrible though. "Nuzzles detect horrors" is a good one. It makes pets more useful and it can stop an infection from getting unmanageable.

Honestly you can skip Anomaly. And Odyssey too from what ive seen so far. The free 1.6 update on its own is quite a selling point.
Biotech is 100% worth tho. Ideology and Royalty are high recommends but if you want to skip on them to save thats alright too.

>>713870728
>The free 1.6 update on its own is quite a selling point.
It's garbage. Everything that should have been a vanilla improvement is locked behind Odyssey.
>Fishing requires the space ship expansion.
>New weather like "Windy," "Overcast," "Blizzard," etc requires the space ship expansion.
>Natural terrain formations (Lake, Delta, Chasm, Valley, Peninsula, etc.) on old biomes.
>New animal types added to old biomes.
>Mixed biomes.
>River flooding and winter freezing.
>New animal behaviors on old animal types.
All locked behind Odyssey, not 1.6 improvements. The only 1.6 change worth a damn is a few more tasks are multithreaded now.

>>713871212
>space ship expansion
its name is odyssey retard. it's the exploration expansion
but yes, Tynan is a kike

>>713861376 (OP)
25 top, the creator is a fucking leech for making it that expensive, always hack jewish games

>>713871659
In Ludeon's own words, it's the space ship expansion, that's the "headline feature."

Even so, I have no complaint about exploration-specific content, like space, the POI landmark system to explore (chemfuel stations, abandoned colonies, space stations, asteroids, insect mega hives, toxic lakes, etc.), or the new biomes and anything exclusive to them, or the hunt quests like the Alpha Thrumbo -- that's all fine and makes sense to be part of the expansion. It's specifically the much-needed revamps to old biomes and biome systems, plus animal diversity to old biomes, plus a long requested basic ass survival system like "crashlanded survivors FISH for food" that makes it weirdly petty.
>You want to see wolverines or crows in a Temperate Forest? You need the spaceship DLC.
is just baffling.

>>713871212
aren't there a ton of qol like replace things and diagonal walls that got merged in from mods

>>713872137
diagonal walls are only for the gravship iirc

>>713864936
The mechs are balanced by the wealth they add, in fact at higher difficulty, a lot of them will hurt more than they help. What’s actually broken are psycasts since they can multiply the combat strength of a pawn several times over while adding 0 raid points.

>>713872137
Yes. In list from the announcement,

iirc they half-assed replacing stuff - you can only replace walls/chairs/beds, but not tables and replaced stuff does not keep settings (e.g beds are unassigned)
creator of "replace stuff" mod made a post about it on the workshop

>>713872489
>>tweaks to armor/weapon stats
ill just replace it with ce anyway

>>713872516
apparently the load times and tps are vastly improved. i wasn't too excited about an update that i already had with mods but being able to run much bigger maps and colonies is worth it

Yes it is THAT good. In fact i'm playing right now. Ideology and biotech is all you need when it comes to DLCs

just hit 1000 hours.
rimpy bloats it but playing on and off over a decade hits 500 easy.

it's made some great stories

It's my sims where I basically always make me+wife team to start and roleplay us vs the world type shit

>colonist gets one hit killed through expensive power armor
>only ways to stop this are anomaly serums (wait for a metalhorror to fuck your shit up and catch it), gene mods (gene extraction roulette), and/or just having the right trait to begin with (pawn rng)
ce is a meme but having my story told like this really grinds my gears

>>713861376 (OP)
I value games at $1 per hour, so yes Rimworld is worth that.

>>713874176
I reckon if you are pressed for money DLC priority would go
Ideology > Biotech > Royalty > Anomaly
I imagine most peoples list would be the same but that a decent amount would put biotech over ideology

>>713861376 (OP)
no, tynan is a retard that doesnt understand the real value of his mod framework DLC. the only one worth its current value is biotech (odyssey might be worth its value too though, we'll see)
just pirate them.

>>713862625
I have like 2k hours in Rimworld and started playing in 2017, but i agree with the statement.

It's no good to spend all of your time gaming even if youre holding a job down and stuff.
Ive got holes in my brain bc i used to work part time for a few years, 4-5 hours a day and then i'd just game like a degenerate.
Never learned any skills, developed friendships, gotten life experience etc.
Nowadays i'm literally an onfocused dazed moron. Used to be way worse. I think its just cause of how much brain you dont use if youre in work-game stasis.

And also itd not the fault of vidya. I was just depressed and spiralling out into any gripping form of escapism. I'm just saying if you rack up thousands of hours in vidya thats a sign you'll be killing yourself if nothing changes.

>>713874654
what's bad about ce

>>713869425
They didn't. They just decided to charge $25 for Biotech and Anomaly instead of $20 like the first two DLCs. (And Odyssey will most likely also be $25 when that comes out.) None of the prices have changed though

>>713874793
I respect that opinion, i'm with the people that would put biotech before ideology(even tho i absolutely love ideology) because of the family mechanic. The rest stuff from Biotech i don't use that often, i would say i would use stuff from Ideology more often.

ideology is a cheat mod

Im finally getting the hang of this, but how do I beat mech clusters? it fucks me up. also the gray flesh, what should I do? do I have to do surgery on everyone to find out who has the tentacles? And then theres the ruubberbanding energy usage, I go from positive 14000 to negative 6000 at random, I thought it was because my sun lamps go online but no, theres no rhyme or reason why it fluctuates

just build more generators? wood or chemfuel is reliable and easy to defend. you dont get zzzt with no batteries

>>713862625
Thanks god there is not a time counter on 4chan...

>>713875585
are batteries are a meme? is that why my usage keeps fluctuating? I have like 7 water wheels, 4 geothermals a one wood and chem generator for backup. and I cant even keep my scanners up 24/7

>>713862625
Dude i have 1700 hours on a truck game

buy?

>>713875870
is this cream.api?

>>713875756
i only use them with solar or wind but i usually skip those. i wouldn't say it's a meme but it can be awkward to tell what your power needs are. and one zzt kills all of them, you need to micro a circuit breaker.... it's a bit annoying.

maybe the water wheels are fluxuating? i haven't used them mich since you need a river

What is the best scenario and why is it Naked Brutality?

>>713861376 (OP)
This is nothing compared to 4x shit or the sims. Still though, the DLC are just paid mods, sometimes more literally than not so i'd just buy the basegame and then pirate the DLCs.

>>713876007
Naked Brutality is basically cheating since you get industrial level tech off the bat.

>>713876007

I´ll never pay more than 10 euros for ugly games, and this one and Factorio never get cheap enough (Factorio even have no sales at all), so fuck them

>>713862625
Imagine not having 1000 hours in ANY game

>>713875985
nah, the wheels are constantly producing. I think its the geothermal, do they overheat? because I have them in roofed bunkers to warm my plants.

Also, I just realized I can feed corpses to pigs. I think I may just drop all of my other animals except for my pigs, sloth and thrumbo... but Im not sure if It would be wise to lose the eggs and muffalo fur

>>713864259
Cheesed to meet you

is dwarf fortress really that inferior to rimworld?

>>713861376 (OP)
The base game is worth the asking price, the DLC are up to personal interest. There are much worse value games out there.

Spent many many hours playing this when I was unemployed/at uni, I find it harder to sink into now I'm older though.

>>713876073

geo was always goated stable for me even if i roof it.

maybe you just have a shit ton of sunlamps. post your colony. if it's that you jut need more batteries. solar would help too

>>713875490
regarding power I use the mod 'Even more linkables' which allows you to build stuff like a Cooling tower next to the thermal generator giving it a +60% output.
it also allows you to build stuff which boosts your research and workbenches speed and quality,
mod really speeds up the sluggish lategame bullshit especially advanced fabrications

>>713876219
I don't follow them closely but from what i've seen they don't even have half the options, systems, or items rimworld has and the game has been around for decades. I'm not even aware of any kind of serous modding community.
They are basically a meme for old-timer autists.

>bro just install this mod that gives you infinity power research and crafting speed

>>713862625
1000 hours across 10 years is 100 hours per year. That's like 2 hours a week. Let's disregard the fact that I racked up 800 of those hours concurrently, naked, subsisting on ramen, shortly after my childhood crush girlfriend betrayed our decade long relationship. The point here is that OP should purchase the game in advance of his life crisis.

>>713876073
And you get five psykers with tribal

>>713876491
>>713876604
done both, most fun part is trying to survive in the beginning with limited resources
have over 1k hours and can't enjoy lategame with the grind and giga mech clusters

>>713876219
They have different scopes, so there’s no point in comparing them. One is trying to be a massive city builder while another is just at most a dozen dudes living in the woods (unless you’re one of those 300 colonist autists)

>>713875887
looks like gog

go back u normie zoom zoom. tik tok is that way

>>713876390
play without biters until you can understand oil and trains, and to a lesser extent rockets + logistics. it should only take a few maps/tries but to each their own

next turn on biters and practice on just gathering and expanding a fuck ton for your factory, most players crap out on this game cause they build too small for too long

after that grab a reliable set of blueprints from the repository or (insert random youtuber) or make your own in sandbox, and work on optimizing resource acquisition and production flow rate, pick what style you like be it main bus or bots or whatever here

losing is fun

>>713876956
>go back u normie zoom zoom. tik tok is that way

>>713876390
Just play the game and have fun.
There are so many ways to play this game, my friend for example spends 80% of his time playing just fiddling with factory blueprints in editor to make them perfect meanwhile I like trains and have gorillion different rail blueprints, find what you like about the game and have fun with it, it's a sandbox

>>713876390
quit asking for tips and figure out the game yourself. the beauty in factorio is figuring out the game on your own.

>>713876843
Rimworld copied Dorf's homework. But the focuses are different. Dwarves can be easily fed and psychologically managed. It's about digging deep, building a cool base, and exploring the world at your leisure after setting things up in season 1.
Rimworld is far more neurotic where your guys eat everything fast as you can make it and they're always coming up with some new reasons to be going insane. There's far more individual maintenance in Rimworld.
DF is about maximizing returns from traders whereas Rimworld, traders just come and you dump stuff on them and one MIGHT have something you like. You might have a drug farm for them, but that'll be about it. It sounds nitpicky, but they end up playing as different games.

>>713876968
>play without biters
>grab a reliable set of blueprints
Unironically kill yourself shitter

>>713877286

new player asks for help, fuck off ya gatekeepin neckbeard. if they are desperate enough to ask for help here that means they have either already had their shit pushed in by the easiest filters, or are too scared to commit because of possible nightmare challenges they have seen before, in both cases turning off biters to learn the basics and turning them back on later is acceptable.

>>713875490
>mech clusters
Emp grenadiers

build a killbox and use 2 colonists equipped with emp nades to lock down big clumps of mechs as they enter the firing zone

3-4 mortar emplacements
1 mortar with emp mortards, rest with explosives, use emp to turn off highshield and bombard mechs until they go towards your base

>>713875490
>mech clusters
bunch of ways to solve these, spam mortars, leap frog walls, use smoke launchers to get close, emp grenades, target power cells for free booms, call in traders or npcs to help, ect. it really depends on if you are early/mid/late and what you have available. a good order of operations would be drag away or kill any active mechs, kill turrets, kill spawners, clean up rest. unless you are geared out the ass, dont expect to fight a cluster and come out without any injuries.

>gray flesh
yep you solved it, test everyone. now if you kept a good eye on your people you should have an idea of who was near the possible infection so that would be a good place to start.

>power
no idea without seeing your base what is going on. i always recommend you make way more power then you need, by the time you produce so much that zzts become deadly is also the same time you should have all underground cables and reliable battery backups and storage

also don't fight mechs until you have at least flack vests+pants+steel helmet and devilstrand dusters for everyone fighting

early on you can use platemail and uranium mace wielders to deal with scythers, but you want the coverage from the other equipment for your shooters or they will get permanently crippled every time mechs show up

EMP nades only turn off shields on humans, so dont be afraid to throw them on top of your melee guys vs scythers. It will say 'adapted', but it wears off fast, and you can keep mechs stunned almost indefinitely with enough emp nades.

>>713877631

>finish all the content the game has to offer
>"why isn't there anything to do?"
It's not reality, why would it go on endlessly? A gravship might extend things a little bit, you can go around to different biomes for exploration.

How is the new expansion?
Also shill me some interesting mods to check out.

>>713885148
As with any "city" builder, if you don't have to struggle game becomes boring.
At that point you need to come up with your own challenges.

okay... Harbinger trees, do I chop thyem or do I feed them corpses? and whats the deal with anima trees?

>>713886079
I keep 1 harbringer tree as a corpse/trash disposal, I like how it's nom-noming corpses.
Anima tree requires tribal background on your pawn to take advantage off. That is one of the ways to get your psylink.

>>713868994
not without incurring several mood penalties on your colonists depending on the scenario. I think Tynan is a nigger but Ideology is the most important of the DLCs, but also everyone should pirate Rimworld and all of the expansions without thinking for a single second to give that cockmuncher a cent

>>713876701
I chuckled.

I remember this game being extremely boring with nothing happening.

>>713887402
This but ONI
RW is actually the opposite, where shit just happen because 5 min has passed without nothing happening, and this sucks equally

>>713883727
I don't care about achievements

>>713862958
I will give you two.
If you are a power gamer, the rituals and the serums are some of the more busted shit in the game.
If you are someone who enjoys the story creation aspect more than anything else, its probably the best thematic experience in rimworld.

The problem with the second point, its a one time thing. Once you experience it, you might powergame the events and prepare knowing what is happening. But hands down, Anomaly gave me the most hilarious colony deaths I ever had in the game.

>>713861376 (OP)
I pirated it, liked it, bought it (basegame only), modded it, played 200 hours, uninstalled
So yes, I'd say it was worth the 30 eurodollars

>>713872137
Yes, that anon is just having a schizo fit. Trying to make up shit to justify his piracy most likely. Funny thing is, piracy is not justifiable, since you don't have to justify it.

>>713864275
Bait used to be believable.

>>713867039
People seem to forget that it's a story maker more than a constantly repayable city builder.

The replayablility comes from making your own fun with the tools you have. Difficult environment, weird base layout, ideology restrictions, etc.
When you finish the game, and there IS a finish, you start again with a new setup or mod selection because the game is fundamentally fun at its core.

>>713861376 (OP)
what mods are good for this and biotech?

>>713888261
i don't even care about piracy. the qol you get from steam workshop is worth $20 every two years for me. but anon maybe is quite poor, and i don't begrudge him. it's just dumb to say things that are easily disproven. it's transparently cope

There is no hard limit but you are limited by your CPU performance and your tolerance for low framerate and stutter

>>713885148
I agree. I wish there was like a big boss fight or base to raid as an endgame instead of just "sit and wait x days for your chosen ending to scroll".
The weird thing is that tynan added boss fights already with biotech, why didn't he think of having one linked to one ending or another?

The only part of Vanilla Expanded is the psycasts module. Everything else is trash.
>>713861376 (OP)
Yes, this is my favorite game of all time. No joke. Of course, I bought it over time. I'd probably not buy the whole thing for $120 without knowing anything about it but now that I've played it, I'd gladly pay for as many expansions as they put out, as long as they are the same quality and good.
tl;dr; I think the base game and each expansion is worth their asking price. there are zero other games where I think that.

No, but it overcrowds the storyteller, to the point where you feel like 50% of your time is with anomaly shit, and it keeps paging you to mess with the monolith by adding traits to your colonists like "obsessed with dark stuff".

I love anomaly but yeah, it forces you to engage with it. That said, once you "beat' the anomaly content in your current playthrough you can choose to mostly ignore it or interact with it at will as the occurrences (seem to) go way down.

>>713861760
Mr bloat. His fishing mod is a perfect example. Over 20 fish when it should just be 2 or maybe 3 depending on like river fishing vs ocean fishing. Every single one of those fish has to be stacked and stored somewhere separately and gathered separately to put into a meal.

>>713862625
Playing the same game over and over again for hundreds or thousands of hours is retard behaviour. There's no merit to repeating the same shit you've played when you can just try something new. Dumb people simply lack that drive that makes you try new games, hobbies, food etc.

That one was so annoying. You have like 3 different fishing options with only one being actually useful. Then you have to make a specialized fisher because modded jobs always shit the beds.

I bought the base game and pirated all the DLCs.

>>713894868
there's 128 installed
I used the /vg/ thread it has mod recommendation lists and then added random ones I liked on top.

>>713861376 (OP)
How do I get into the game?

>>713894381
RJW status?

>>713895490
Just get some qol mods and you're good to go. Vanilla+ is the way to go.

>>713864457
>larp a god-king and his slave harem
Any good mods for that?

>>713893541
You have a set amount of "minor events" and "major events" over time. Anomaly would replace incidents with Anomaly incidents, essentially replacing the base game. Today, there's a slider to adjust how much you want Anomaly to replace regular events. By default, it's
>8% replaced before monolith is activated
>30% replaced after monolith is activated
which is much less consuming that before. You can also tweak these to your preference. As another poster said, they also later on added Ambient Horror mode, which disables the monolith and replaces 15% (by default) of events with Anomaly events. The 15% can also be adjusted.

>>713895490
Start off with a standard crash landing and just play around and learn how things work. Tribal starts have much longer tech research times. I'd say at least biotech and ideology are mandatory because they're just too game changing.

>>713876141
(Half way done with py)

>>713896184
Don't need mods, it's entirely possibly with the DLC. Royalty for title and psy powers, Ideology for harem enabling, Biotech for super genes and immortality. I guess you could go with Psychic Bond Tweaks if you want the harem to be psychically dependent on your guy, RJW if you want to take it further than that.

I'm not sure if there's a mod for Royalty that lets you go all the way up to Emperor, because nothing goes all the way up to Emperor, the needs are coded in and everything, but it's entirely unused as far as I know.

>>713896184
Do you really need mods? I mean at most maybe alphas ideology mod for actual "god king" tenants? Just capture only female pawns and enslave them. You don't need mods for that.

>>713861760
The worst part is that some of his stuff is genuinely good but it's ALWAYS, and i mean LITERALLY ALWAYS paired out with a bunch of nonsense nobody wants

>>713895659
Needs ATF mods

>>713861376 (OP)
>game
I'll have to stop you right there. Rimworld is more a mere "game." It is, in fact, a story generator, and more than that, an intelligent story generator. Rimworld is not a skill test. A ruined colony is a dramatic tragedy, not a failure.

So Ideology and Biotech are good and Anomaly is garbage, but what about Royalty?

>>713897317
I'm not buying the book, Tynan

>>713897379
Just pirate the damn DLC and see for yourself.
I use ever DLC available.
Royalty is fine, just remember it also introduces mechanoid clusters which can fuck you up.

>>713897379
eh, it depends what you want. ideology is pointless unless you really care about roleplaying. anomaly has the most interesting raids that aren't just stupid stuff like "1754 archers are attacking your base"

>>713897814
Ideology can completely change how your colony functions and what you're able to get away with. Its not just for RP. Otherwise enjoy all your mental breaks and crying pawns when you try anything.

>>713897814
>unless you really care about roleplaying
I thought that was the point of the game?

>>713897947
it is, which is why it's a bad game, but even though it's poorly designed it's still better than most other base building games

>>713876390
Just play and fix problems as they come up. Your first few tries will be a fucking mess, but it gets easier everything you play. Looking stuff up and copying blueprints is for faggots

>>713893608
You haven't played Anomaly if you think the worst of its events are equal to any other content.

>>713861376 (OP)
>It must be the greatest game ever made if people are really paying all that to play it…
I didn't buy all the DLC and I spent over 2000hours on it.
The cost-effectiveness of this game

tho I did NOT pirate the other DLC like evil anon who are making devs starve >>713862181, I just don't give a shit about "horror story DLC".

That said the new DLC is going to be promising.
It's finally adding what's basically most of the mods I installed.
https://ludeon.com/blog/2025/06/odyssey-preview-1-map-features-landmarks-and-biomes/
Not into spaceship but I guess it DOES fit.
https://ludeon.com/blog/2025/06/odyssey-preview-2-gravships-and-space/

>>713897814
>"1754 archers are attacking your base"
This game needs flamethrowers, just saying.

>>713898443
The flying ship thing from the new DLC looks so fucking boring.

>>713898443
>"this evil anon is making devs starve!"
>*look inside*
>buyfag
Huh?

>>713862625
t. never enjoyed a game in his life

>>713892641
>>713894393
On STEAM I have 1100 hours
I must have played it 4000 hours before it released there

>>713898538
read more, other anon encourage pirating the DLC

>>713898447
Anomaly adds a flamethrower. Shame about the rest of the DLC.

>>713898770
Man I wish I could disable the stupid shit

>>713861376 (OP)
No, the base is barely worth 30.

>>713898443
>>713898525
I don't care about the "mobile colony" thing, but it does address a big limitation of the game.
Once you've settled somewhere, you pretty much only experience the environment of that zone.

I just hope they didn't miss the obvious option of NOT making the colony move. Only using the base-ship for transportation (even if it also has shuttles on top of that).
It would make a good "temporary base" for mining operation. I've got mods just for that.

What is the best story teller? I've found that Cassandra feels like she "cheats" with the kind of bullshit she pulls regularly.

Anomaly should have been 5 bucks.

>>713898963
It's not gonna be that great, the bigger it gets, the less likely you are to find landing zones, and you'll want it to be big so there's ablative sections between the exterior and habitable sections. SoS2 let you have multiple ships on a single map, so you could have a smaller one alongside your capital for that kind of thing, but Tynan typically takes a mod and nerfs the functionality in weird ways, like he did with wall lights still taking up a tile space adjacent to the wall instead of having it share the wall's tile.

>>713899326
>taking up a tile space adjacent to the wall
This can't be real.

>>713899260
Depends on what you would consider to be 'best', if you don't want planned bullshit, take Randy, everybody else does.

>>713899386
Sorry

>>713899260
I usually start with Cassandra for a couple of years then switch to Randy

>>713897028
hold up
We got ATF mods for rimworld?
you ain't cappin?

>>713899260
phoebe is a real one, she'll pamper you and make your colony wealth grow before she send raids that will straight up pulverize your balls

>want to buy RimWorld
>already know I'll just make the same kind of colony every time
I feel like it would get boring fast.

im a dwarf fortress chad because i like reading about alligators ripping off my dwarves' arms

>>713862625
How dare someone get 1000+ hours of fun out of a game over 10 years old!

>>713861376 (OP)
No. It had potential during development, but the end product isn't that good.

>>713900740
What do you mean? And would you recommend something similar instead?

>>713863719
People bought it because the dev gave a sob story about how he has cancer and needed money for treatment.
Afterwards he gave the money to Black Lives Matter.

>>713900295
Then pirate it.
I don't understand what is the issue here.

>>713901017
I wanna play modded with my friend

>>713891673
yeah i mean realistically if it improved or if there were new mods that appeared

>>713901017
It wouldn't change anything.
>>713901058
Huh?

>>713862625
I have 1500 hours in skyrim. All of it was pornography too.

>>713899326
You misunderstand.
I don't mind, to have a small base-ship, on the opposite I welcome it.
What I actually want, and have mods for that. Is just shuttles & the ability to set camp somewhere else.

Actually, the content of the first preview is enough for me to buy the DLC. Even if it will probably be pricey for that.

I'm more worried about
>DLC out
>add great content
>add content you don't care but why not
>add content that ruin the rest and is a pain to deactivate if it's even possible

>>713901186
Huh???

>>713901186
>It wouldn't change anything.
You get whatever amount of fun you can extract from the game for free.
Vs getting buyer's remorse and forcing yourself to play.

>>713901248
>the content of the first preview is enough for me to buy the DLC
Don't fall for the hype. A lot of people thought Anomaly would be great and regretted buying it.

>>713901058
So buy it. Are you just gonna wring your hands all week about the choice or are you gonna make the choice?

>>713901604
He's not me, it's just a troll.

>>713901604
why would I buy it I need all the DLC's to make it fun because they stole from and disabled my favorite mods and that's like $150 CAD total
game isn't worth that much

>>713901776
So don't buy it, are you just gonna wring your hands all week about the choice or ah you already know.

>>713901830
No I want to be able to pirate the DLC's and play multiplayer modded with my friend

>>713901973
Then do that? You can buy the base game, pirate the DLCs and that gives you access to the workshop, alternatively you could just pirate the whole thing and use RimPy to access the workshop mods anyway.

>>713902070
I don't know if it'd work and maybe my steam account could be banned.

>>713863067
Its hilarious desu
>dwarf fortress fans chased out Rimworld talk when Rimworld didnt have a general
>dwarf fortress general fucking flounders because it would go weeks without any posts
>rimworld gets a general
>c-can we c-come? please?
>get told to rightfully fuck off
such cucks lmao

>>713901776
That's a mischaracterization. Just because new code breaks old mods doesn't mean they "disabled" any mod. And there hasn't been any evidence of stolen code. Their implementation of any idea that appeared in mods is usually very different. Sometimes even inferior. But that just proves it wasn't stolen.

>>713902140
It works. As for the ban, that's just a risk you have to take when it comes to piracy. Or you could not risk it and just buy the DLC. It's not ever gonna go on sale.

>>713863067
CDDA is dead. zomboid surpassed it in zombie sim shit.

if an anomaly escapes containment, does it proceed to keep attacking or does it just try to escape?

>>713902759
As someone who enjoys the realism, boring grind and all, it's kind of a shame CDDA has some of the most absurdly overpowered enemies in all of fiction.

>>713901776
>150 CAD
I can venmo you like 20 USD to cover all that.

>>713903179
Pretty sure it attacks, but every time it happened I had someone drafted nearby. They definitely fight back when attacked, at the very least.

>>713862625
What games does the psychiatrist recommend?

>>713861376 (OP)
Ideology and Biotech are all you need. The rest are meh.
What makes it great are the mods. Once you know the base game you can see what is missing and just go mod crazy.

>>713864936
I find it easier playing without them because the more that I have, the crazier the raids get. It makes the early game easier but not the late game.

>>713861376 (OP)
how well will this run on aa 5600 and 16gb of RAM?

>>713905010
Just fine. Expect it to lag when shit gets crowded. It lags on everything. I have a 5900x and 64gb of ram and it still can chug sometimes. 1.6 is greatly improving performance by making much more of the game's logic multi threaded so there's that

Planting Harbringer tree near archotech structure was a bad idea.

>>713861376 (OP)
Not really, I'd say about $30 for the game + all DLC. It's a more of a overhyped powerpoint presentation using MS paint assets than a game.

>come back to game
>muffalo no longer produce milk
profound sadness

>>713904349
no thanks

>>713861376 (OP)
No. The base game at base price, sure, but always pirate the dlc. Don't fret, Tynan doesn't mind.

>>713864259
badly needs a biotech integration

>>713894357
and you've been speaking english for how long and you're this bad at it?

>>713908296
Muffalo at least produce 2 kinds of material... wool and blueskin.

>>713861760
what does Skallagrim have to do with rimworld?

>>713903179
almost all anomalies exist to attack your colonists
when they get out they just go back straight to business

>>713908296
They were too good desu

>>713913729
"The PROS and CONS about Zeushammer. Better than you think?"

>>713914046
Not him but melee vampires kick ass in CE.

>>713861376 (OP)
You could just buy the base game to get the workshop and then pirate the dlc.

I played a lot of bass game. I should finally get around to buying a DLC or two.
Which ones have the most bang the the buck?
As a side note Rimatomics was my favorite mod. I loved setting up a working reactor.

>>713861376 (OP)
The mods sonny boi, the mods

>>713914298
I had an entire unga bunga colony that survived until the very late game with just uranium maces. Melee playthroughs are underrated asf.

I hate Minecraft with a passion yet I can't get enough Rimworld.
Why is this?

>>713861376 (OP)
Coincidentally also the name of my local gay bar

>>713915093
When you make a fort in minecraft, thats it. You're done. When you make one in Rimworld, you have to defend it, maintain it, repair it. For all the complaining people have with the game, this at least keeps the player engaged. There's a reason to defend your fort.

>>713862625
The game is 12 years old, anon.

>>713901490
There's no hype, they plainly stated what was in the DLC.
I didn't want Anomaly and didn't boughted it.

They described the feature in the new DLC, and I want new terrain and meteo.
Frankly, I would buy a DLC that ONLY contain extra weather & environment.
Thought, even the most minimal implementation of the grav-ship would certainly help reaching those new environments.

I'm only worried about whatever else is inside it.
As I said, they'll have 70% of stuff I want, then ruin it with 30% that just ruin it for me. Like adding child or their mutant in the biotech DLC.

Youve spent so much time mindlessly hating him because they banned you from the subreddit(after were allowed for minimum 3 years to brigade every topic and comment relevant to these two and their mods) that its impossible to even mention the positive aspects without your spam.
Its about 4 individuals obsessed with CE and anime faces...if you know you know.

>>713861905
Yea you should really have no qualms with pirating the DLC

>>713893683
Because?

>>713861376 (OP)
125$? dang i never tought about it, the yearly dlc always felt affordable, just goes to show how good it is

>>713914503
Personally
- Ideology
- Royalty to go with the above, thought it's honestly rather weak and should have had better at start

And Odissey is looking like it will be very interesting

>>713914503
Biotech>>>>>Royalty>Ideology>Anomaly

>>713861376 (OP)
the religion and space DLCS are the only worth ones

cause the space one was my favorite MOD but it was finicky was fuck and it barely run
having native suport means it will not be as heavy and it will not crash as much

>>713862743
based
i had to force myself to stop playing cause this shit was taking over my life

but the space DLC might change my mind

No
The tower defence is boring as fuck

>>713898443
>going to make a dev who's sold millions starve because some people pirate the DLC

>>713921482
>broke nigger trying to crab bucket people around him
have a free (you), this one's on me, try not to spend it all in one place.

I hate how research works.
I think reverse engineering should play bigger part in getting new tech, at least with anomaly you get books.
But even with mods it just feels awful.

>>713879245
don't these things die to one mortar hit? don't even have to waste a antigrain

>>713921964
Research is the most retarded part of Rimworld. You should just get new tech by acquiring disks or blueprints and maybe from captured or recruited pawns.

>>713922560
>Figure out how to build spaceship with one simple trick
>Scientists hate him
Maybe in next DLC

>>713896895
Pretty sure they just use their expanded series as a way to test and refine mechanics for their own game they're developing.

>>713922560
believe it or not, there's a mod for exactly this. Even a mod that makes it so you have to learn the language of the other pawn before interrogating them for knowledge/research. If there's something you want it's probably already been done

>>713889423
Double wall your entire base with multiple entrances out. Enemies will scatter around the wall at different points to break in and you can have your colonists gang up and pick them off individually before others come in to help.

>>713921964
>>713922560
game balance is around how fast and how well you research, but maybe putting more big ticket stuff behind more techprints might work. The problem is the assault rifle tech is the defacto best tech and without it would just be slamming your head against the wall forced to cheese.

>>713866754
They actually did fix ranged combat in the most recent update, siege mechanics have been teased as well. Rimworld will still totally eclipse DF even if it does get all of its bugs fixed and I say this is a DF fanboy oldfag, Rimworld's dlcs and mods have pushed it into an upper echelon most games can never reach.
