Play Rimworld

>>715026190 (OP)
aren't there mods to add every single new feature this DLC adds? if so why would anyone buy this?

>>715026317
Every mod you add lowers your tps. Having it in the base game dlc is ideal.

>>715026317
Consolidation for the sake of consolidation

>>715026190 (OP)
how much do i have to spend on this? theres like 4 dlcs or something and no ultimate edition? is vanilla fine?

No thanks, I'm alright. The expensive back to back DLC drops killed my interest. Making me buy this game 6 fucking times in a row. Get real Tarny, or whatever his name is. It ain't happening pal.

>>715026317
>why would anyone buy this?
Performance, frameworks for mods to build off, and you are no longer reliant on some schizo to update your favourite mod.

>>715026525
You should honestly start with vanilla at this point. It's not like the game doesn't have replayability, so you can try them later.

>>715026624
>spelling favorite with a u
I'm getting the fuck out of here, holy shit there's some EU faggot in here. Never buying this now.

>>715026662
Pretty much. Base Rimworld is still fun. No need for Anomoly or Ideology. I would say that Biotech is a must have though.

>>715026731
Wrong continent

>>715026190 (OP)
Fuck you Tynan lower the base price of your game if you're going to release a DLC that's essentially Rimworld 2.

>>715026886
>>715026580
Have you considered not being poor?

>>715026917
Have you considered not being a faggot?

>>715026886
Sequels are for losers. And would probably make saves incompatible.

>>715026317
i am autismal and if i can enjoy a game vanilla i will

>>715026190 (OP)
>July 11th

Gonna wait for FAs and a few other QoLs to be updated before jumping in.

>>715026731
worse
leaf

>>715026190 (OP)
I WANT to play it, but am going to wait until the dlc drops in a few days to try it for the first time.

Will Tynan eventually consume the entire mod community?

>>715027153
I hope so, maybe it will teach dumb modders not to do the dev's work for him next time.

>>715026960
Not even for a second.

i always get a few hours into the game and just lose interest
have the first two DLCs and i've never even completed the base game once
i have 182 hours played since purchase

>>715027610
its about the same for me about 200 hours and never beat it and still dont understand how all the dlc works

>>715027610
There is no "completing" Rimworld. It's a sandbox. Yeah, you can leave the planet and get an "ending" but that's not what it's about, especially with the new DLC where is just opens up new gameplay.

So are they just gonna end support on Save Our Ship now? It's entirely redundant with Oddysey.

>>715026317
a sense of pride and accomplishment

>>715027879
>>715027610
fools
i have 1800 hours
just recently completed a ship ending
it was meh, mostly waiting for the timer.

>>715028105
you know very well it isnt in the slightest

>>715026917
I'm just not sorry. -%5 off is not a sale. It's an insult.
$27 base game and $111 for all the DLC. Again, no thanks. Fools and their money are easily parted.

>>715029456
And fools with no money are retarded

>>715026190 (OP)
I am just learning about this, what is rimworld even about these days.
>first couple of dlcs fit in with the game and experience, ideology in particular should have been in the base game
>then we got eldritch horrors and demons and flesh homunculi
>now the whole point of the game, having a colony, is being uprooted
Cool I guess but what the hell.

>>715026824
stop doxxing me you freak

>>715030606
It's a colony sim sandbox. It's about whatever you want it to be about. The DLCs just add frameworks for modders to expand the game on.
It can be a group of cannibals living on the pilar ice caps. It can be about a nest of vampires enslaving humanity. It can be about building a drug empire, or organ harvesting, or ranching, or going to space, or discovering mysteries.

>>715030958
if you dont want it to be a tower defense there isnt much for you

>>715031895
You don't have to build a kill box every time. You can run out like a man and kill them all with tactics

>>715026190 (OP)
I have been. I need to stop

>>715026190 (OP)
>love the quests and tech added in ideology
>hate the rest of it so much it makes me see red
there has got to be a way to turn this shit off, right?
please

Nothing happens at all: The Video Game

>>715034607
you can choose to play without an ideology at the start

>$30 for a 7 year old game
no thanks

>>715026190 (OP)
>Overpriced MS Paint garbage
Nah I'm good thanks.

>>715037083
>Rimworld is a game that can easily give you 1000 hours of enjoyment
Nah it's overpriced.

>>715038268
That's what he said

>>715026317
The more QoL mods get poached into vanilla and DLCs - the better. This way, every other modder would have to work with them in mind, avoiding incompatibilities.

>>715028105
>So are they just gonna end support on Save Our Ship now?
No.
>t's entirely redundant with Oddysey.
It's not.

>>715026190 (OP)
Fuck off rams

>>715034731
You can make the storyteller more aggressive if you think not enough is happening.

How do I handle the very early defense? Is there any combination you avoid like high construction high cooking on the same guy?

>>715041860
Have a good shooter. Don't forget to build fortifications.

>>715042051
I just have three pawns, how do I balance fortif (stone walls) food growth research and building

>>715042085
>I just have three pawns
That's normal.
>fortif (stone walls)
No, you need to build barricades. Wooden is fine.
>how do I balance [...] food growth research and building
Don't have the builder also be the farmer, cook, or researcher.

>>715042216
wood barricades are fine ok. Also my pawn usually refuses to research even when he's done cleaning and haulling

>>715042256
Must be some scheduling issue. I really can't know.

>>715042352
I selected something to research and made sure research was on 1. it's the kind of things I hate with this game like my pawns chopping a tree but not picking up the wood after

Buy an ad and put your dlc on sale faggot. Why is your dog shit anomalies expansion not slashed to .99 cents after everyone realized is has NO content and the content is does have is shit. At least your other expansions were actually good and required to make the game fun you money hungry fucking kike.

>>715042567
whiny poorfag lol

>>715042567
pirating the dlc is super easy my dog

>>715042567
Poor brown

>>715043064
I have all the dlc except anomaly. I'm not spending money on that dog shit expansion, and you're a golem if you did and are defending it. But like all shills, you have no argument. Niggers like you should be banned from this site, throwing money at crap isn't "a flex" or whatever your wetback lingo is this week.

>>715043187
>my dog
Stop being a horny furry!

just spent a fucking week setting up a modlist now it's all going to break fuuuuuuuck

>developer steadily burns goodwill with each expansion
any other examples of this?
guy's a greedy cunt

>>715043486
Poor

I will try it again, usually it's a good time until the raids become too much to handle. I know I'm supposed to build a killbox and wall off my base, but I never understood how to do it properly. I checked the OP on /vg/ Rimworld general, but they don't cover killboxes and base defense there either.

>>715044515
Odyssey and 1.6 as a whole has actually restored goodwill, it looks great. I've only seen any significant negative sentiment towards it on 4chan, which is unsurprising since this place has negative sentiment towards everything.

>>715044515
Meanwhile in reality most of the actual community for the game is positive about the upcoming changes.
The only place that actually seems upset is /v/.
As usual.

Did they improve performance?

>>715044692
>I know I'm supposed to build a killbox
This is why you lose. Simple killboxes can help you in the early game but as you progress you need more active defenses. Staging areas, effective trap use, funneling and tunneling, and movement control become far more important than a killbox, especially when you have more dlc (which have more raids that don't care about your box).

Stop relying on a shitty mortar and 2 defense turrets to stop 200 tribals.

>>715044985
Yes, vastly. Try the 1.6 beta.

>>715026317
By having it as part of the base game other mods have a more robust base to build on top of

how are the external mod managers

>>715041860
You should eat nutrient paste instead of cooking meals at the start, freeing up one colonist from cooking makes a massive difference at the start when so many things need to be estabilished, the -4 mood debuff is well worth it
Once you're settled in and the initial mood buff wears off, you can start cooking again

>>715045798
only 4? Ok I'll test it tomorrow

>>715045798
also do you priotize converting people? Like picking one with good social stats at the start?

>>715045589
Just use Rimsort. It's pretty good. RimPy is no longer supported and has become redundant.

>>715026190 (OP)
No, I don't play games that don't go on sale. I stopped playing fagtardio after the devs showed how greedy they were. Put your game on sale or go fuck yourself, nigrat.

>>715045889
Yeah, at least one person should have +5 social to make conversions and wardening faster, playing with a colony full of introverted retards is painful

can't wait for half the jewtubers to admit they are paid to make a rimworld video tomorrow
>>715045956
>>715046023
ok thanks, also I fucking hate how a squirrel can maul a grown man which of course is my medic

>>715045993
its 20% off right now

>modders already figured out how to add customizable planets, with their own biomes and factions
odyssey will be a whole new world...

>>715046136
What's the point? Every area has no permanence, you can go to same tile over and over and it'll never be the same, in addition of being procedurally generated so once you seen it once you've seen it all. This is starfield again.

>>715046360
mods can fix all of that, my friend.

>>715044692
it's really not that complicated
build a short line of three stone wall pieces in front of every external door
this is cover for two shooters, and you can fight 3v1 melee in the door choke with your own shooters behind without a ton of enemies shooting at you
mechs and bugs can be baited through traps along a path
ship piece mechs won't leave the ship piece, so you can pick at them from range and retreat
I never build turrets unless I'm defending a ship

>>715046360
It's just the usual bloatmaxxing

>>715046136
I hope it'll be kino

>>715027101
Oh man, you're going to be so confused.

I looked around my base, realized my kitchen placement and design sucks donkey balls and having to redesign it to work with butchering, freezers, and dining areas while keeping it clean among other things I have to manage is going to take an entire day and I'll rather just wait for the DLC to drop with the updates before starting up a new game.

>>715041739
>been working on an update for months
>release one day after Odyssey is announced
grim

>>715046876
I don't understand why this game won't let you simply reinstall everything. No one has their base's layout 100% figured out the moment they crashland.

>>715047087
You realize that they've been working with Ludeon, right? This wasn't incidental.

>>715043486
I keep anomaly for the events but delete the monolith.

>>715029998
I own 4 million euro worth of real estate and refuse to pay that much for a video game. Retarded poorfag, niggers love spending money, rich people love saving money. The anon youre replying to is smarter than you.

>launching from a tile completely destroys it unless that tile has an expensive lategame building on it
literally why does every dlc mechanic have some bullshit drawback attached to it. it's like tynan absolutely hates the player having too much freedom and power. (unless it's anomaly because half of the useful shit the player can get in that dlc would be called op if it was a mod)

>>715047267
ok Andrew Tate

>>715047356
stay mad poorfag and remember to spend your entire welfare check on this shitty games dlc that is a mod that I added to my pirated version years ago.

>>715047415
how can I be an alpha male with real properties like you

>>715047104
I forget MinifyEverything isn't base game. There's a few mods that are just must haves for every "vanilla" run.

>>715026190 (OP)
I would.
BUT ITS NOT OUT YET AAAAA

>>715047267
If you have $1,000,000 in the bank and do nothing with it, you have $0.

>>715047509
>being so poor you fail to comprehend how little 4 million euro actually is and you find it unbelievable anon has that much from smart investments
LOL youre probably brown

>>715047610
Since you're European you are statistically more likely to be brown.

>>715047652
youre poor as fuck and autistic, enjoy your welfare check and spend it on more video games, loser

>>715047306
The book literally talks about this

>>715026190 (OP)
How do you creampie the DLC

>>715047945
you find the files on a ruskie website, then use creaminstaller

>>715047945
with rimworld you don't have to use creampy
You literally just put it in the mod folder

>>715047945
Install rimjob world

>>715047306
at least that should be easy enough to mod out

>>715034439
raid strength and size grows exponentially with time while you are hard capped on colonists. the game literally breaks itself to make it so injuries that would normally be survivable when you're on 3 or 4 colonists become instantly fatal if you've got 8+
killboxes are the only way to deal with high tier end game raids

>>715048330
Raid strength increases by wealth. If you are struggling, remove some wealth.

>>715047306
You can put down a grav anchor apparently, which saves the map and everything on it when you travel to space, as you would expect.

>>715048481
nta but I've been trying to keep my wealth down. It just keeps going up on its own. I've only been cutting blocks from chunks and killing rats/squirrels for food while my other guy researches. How do I make it "go down"?

>>715048870
do you have wood floors

>>715047945
Just use koalageddon

>>715048870
Burn some stockpiles. Genuinely. Search your map for random weapons and clothing and shit and burn them.
Don't keep unnecessary junk. Give stuff as gifts to factions to improve relations and reduce wealth.
Don't mine everything. Just take what you need and leave the rest in the mountain.

>>715026190 (OP)
I'll pirate it once it's out.

>>715048481
and wealth inevitably increases if you do literally anything but live in the dirt and eat shit and then die of starvation. "wealth management" is just delaying the inevitable

>>715049298
Not really, especially with 1.6, you can easily have a colony of over 300 without much of a hit on tps compared to before.

>Make infinite food production

Who the fuck plays this shit?

>>715026525
Vanilla with mods will last you hundreds of hours

Although a lot of mods are only compatible with "current" version including all dlcs

>>715049553
If you think Rimworld is only about killing bandits no wonder you hate it.

>>715049593
Mods get updated to the base game version and many don't require DLC, but add additional stuff if you have them.

>>715034832
Ideology is basically just free mood buffs and a shitty questline anyway.

They’re pieces of shit for charging this much for paid updates. At least with dwarf fortress you got an entirely different looking game, with many other inclusions and the satisfaction of helping the dying neet devs. 35 or 40 for fishing and cucked space travel is absurd

>>715026190 (OP)
Shit game
Build up the base early too mid part - fun
Be stuck for tens of hours grinding research for the rest of the game on an empty map with the same couple boring events (raids, infestations, le pirates installing a masturbation psychic machine a kilometer away that needs to be destroyed) - shit
People who put hundreds of hours into this game are npcs with no internal monologue who just need slop between waking up and going to sleep

>>715049784
What game should I play?

>>715047267
put the fries in the bag, lil bro

>>715049780
The update is free though. The ship stuff is what you're paying for.

I am going to make my grav ship look like a cock and balls and there's nothing you can do about it.

>>715049553
>>715049784
skill issue

>>715026190 (OP)
>build a mini spaceship and fly around the planet on expeditions
This is such based idea that I actually might go back to Rim

>>715050049
play whatever games you find fun, I'm just saying that the later part of this game is a letdown after a genuinely great start, because many modern/indie games devs have no idea how to balance games so instead they go with procedural slop. If this game didn't unnecessarily prolong finishing it with countless unrealistic raids, or had more late game variability to justify the time requirement it'd be fine. The reason people spend so many hours on this game is because it doesn't respect players' time and thats bad design.

>>715049652
And what else is there to do once you set up a functioning base? The map becomes empty, the events repetitive. Sure you can set up goals like destroying enemy bases, even though it matters little because theyre randomized slop, but there's just not enough to do to justify the time requirement.

>>715050594
see >>715050301

>>715050743

>>715050878
There are several solutions suggested that you have ignored. There is nothing left but skill issue.

name one, you can't except regurgitate meaningless npc buzzword like skill issue

>>715050878
>tens of hours grinding research
>he's only using a single skill-6 retard at a single bench in a dirty room from a tribal start
skill issue

>>715051218
>make things up to cope
had two benches with 15+ dudes, still taking ages, for one barely useful research you have to waste a couple hours because of the same raid event spam with nothing else/new added.

>>715050594
come on bro

name a game

>>715026190 (OP)
I will just continue to pirate the GOG version and all DLC.

>>715052131
>I have no argument why my game is half baked slop so I will ask for your preferences to attack them in lieu of an actual argument to defend the game I'm obviously shilling
same tactic as christo-jewish shills on /pol/, uncanny

What I thought Ideology DLC would be

>wtf this game is too easy and boring this shit sucks

>>715051496
so don't build a ship?
sounds like you'd be happier launching a nomadic expedition to the ship quest, but you insist on punishing yourself
skill issue

>>715052486
any examples? you can directly control what your colonists do and don't do, at least for like 99% of the things. ideology just adds more roleplaying/lore shit for you to change your playstyle

>>715050594
>I'm just saying that the later part of this game is a letdown after a genuinely great start
I think your dopamine receptors are just fried
I bet you lose attention span fast with everything huh?

>>715052964
The point is that nothing happens and there's nothing to do ingame, not that it's easy

>>715053541
>nothing happens
Play on Cassandra, get 1-2 raids every 14 days
Play Randy and get 2 raids back to back, followed by a third raid next day, or get 0 raids for 5 quadrums
Play a modded storyteller and get raids every day
>nothing to do in game
There's a whole lot to research, use to strengthen your colony.
From xenogenes to bionics to farming high quality weapons. Make drugs, sleep accelerators, neural superchargers, capture prisoners to genetically augment your colonists, use psychic rituals to make your colonists younger, steal experience, brainwash enemies and so on.
If you're just playing vanilla Rimworld with 0 mods and DLC's, then it's a valid complaint, but there's a million mods and a bunch of feature dense DLC's for you to use, if you want to.

>>715026317
Performance. Mods becoming an actual part of the game instead of an addon takes away from the strain on your machine and the game itself.
This allows the game to be more stable and play better.
>>715028105
Nah. Betting they will instead remodel the mod and build around this.

How long until PF and rocketman update after Odyssey drops?

>>715054597
Rocketman is mostly integrated into vanilla now, parts of Performancefish too. I believe the mod authors said they're not sure if they will update to 1.6

>>715026824
he cute

>>715051496
>had two benches
stopped reading there. Skill issue.

>>715049553
start producing wealth and you'll get tougher raids

*ahem*
FUCK components and FUCK neutroamine
that is all

>>715026624
>you are no longer reliant on some schizo to update your favourite mod.
what do you mean? or do you just mean for specifically the mods that got rolled into the new dlc/1.6

>>715047306
You rather the game bloat itself by saving every single instance of maps you landed in?

>>715055239
Yes, which is why I will build a grav anchor everywhere I land.

>>715055239
you can manually abandon/delete maps
kinda retarded to not have the option to disable the Grav Anchor mechanic, but there'll be a mod for it out in a few days, most likely

>>715026731
genuinely kill yourself retard.

new arrivals start with three dudes or eat the research penalty with a tribal start so I can have 5 skill/trait-tailored pawns?

>>715054924
The point is that "raids" are boring as shit and therefore the game is boring as fuck after 2 hours

Real ruins is gonna be wild with odyssey

>>715026317
They might force you to have Odyssey for SOS, they did it with royalty for modded shield generators and item-to-unlock-tech things IIRC.

>>715026317
get a job

what mods am I supposed to have?
Is there a good one for larger colonies? Having only 4 guys is boring as fuck.

>>715056387
isn't the vanilla game balanced around 8 colonists? why do you need mods?

zayam zaddy

>>715056665
i play good games like dwarf fortress but Id like to try this, without it being tiny and gay.

>>715056387
you're supposed to have the mods you like the sound of
just go through the most popular mods on the workshop, add whatever you like and try them out
about the colonist thing, if you're playing with all DLC's, you can get like 20 colonists easily.
Shock lances, skip abduction, brainwipe, just normal recruitment, growth vats all make it fairly easy

>>715034439
and this makes it not tower defense how?

>>715047306
same as with camps, if you ever have a camp on a tile you could never return to it

>>715026317
>get modpack that’s popular and as close to vanilla as possible
>an action that normally would take as much as settler getting there and doing it is now broken down into 10 different steps warranted by 16 different mods

>>715026190 (OP)
I did. It was pretty fun. Still not sure why mortars are a thing.

>>715058804
i love this art so much you wouldnt believe

too many bloat mechanics

>>715058132
Wait, what?
That is retarded, won't you exhaust nearby tiles really quick?
Maybe you mean setting/abandoning new colonies?

>he doesn't download every VE mod
embrace the bloat

>>715060476
no, i mean you cant have a colony on a tile where you previously camped, and i assume you cant camp there a second time too, you can still cross them.

SOOOOOO... CAN YOU COLONIZE THE WHOLE PLANET IN THIS NEW DLC??? CAPTURE EVERY SETTLEMENT?

>>715061056
you can and always could kill them all. Capture, there still a limit of 5 max, considering that each map gets its own raids and shit. Ship makes it easier to travel i guess but it eats a lot of fuel.

I own all dlcs (it was possibly a mistake) BUT you can VERY easily pirate them too like its litteraly download the dlc and drag and drop it in game folder.

>>715026190 (OP)
I'm waiting for the DLC to drop before getting back into it.

>bill:implant IUD
>chops her leg off

>>715060827
I know about crossing but if I cannot camp twice at the same tile it is retarded.

>>715060482
Do they really bloat shit that much, I only used shit for more equipment and buildable shit and the like. The most complicated shit I have is maybe the slop dispenser network. Which was pretty cool for my vampire run.

>>715063834
i almost never camp, rarely travel too desu.

>>715062603
>install: bionic arm
>neck cut bleeding out in 1 hour

>>715064057
From the looks of it camps generate small resourceless maps so it shouldn't be blocking either colonies or anything else, no idea.
Will be starting playthrough once I get DLC raider-edition and figure it out.

>>715064820
you may be thinking about ambushes or a mod, which i think did it better (as usual), in 1.6 camping generates the full map.

>>715026989
rimworld is not for you

>>715049493
>>715048330
Killboxes aren't necessary. I'd offer you some examples, but they'd be streamers and Youtubers and honestly, you'd wouldn't watch. I'd say what's more necessary are the psychic powers that come with Royalty. Beserk pulsing the guy with the triple rocket launcher coming at you really helps to thin those giant raids out.

Any links to the anomaly dlc?

>>715065729
Wait for the pidors

if the game can be beaten at 500% difficulty without walls then killboxes are not mandatory

started playing a couple days ago after not playing since like 2018. game's fun and minmaxxing shit really sucks the soul out of the game

>>715067986
its what it designed around
developer vs the player philosophy
