Thread 715181405

my second colony just ended in a disaster

>>715181405 (OP)
what happen?

>>715181405 (OP)
>wood walls and floors
You are actively inviting death by fire.

>>715181846
I was overconfident and exited my walls during a raid and also my defences were too shit and the base was too big

>>715181405 (OP)
I like making comfy bases across from rivers.

Is the new DLC any good? I'm probably gonna wait until all my mods are updated.

Is it out yet?

>>715182960
It's been out for 4 hours.

>>715182329
>I like making comfy bases across from rivers.
In the new DLC, you can make heavy bridges that you can build bases on. You can build ON the river.

>>715182153
>and the base was too big
I hate how the game inverts things like this. A big fortress base should be less attractive to raiders, not more attractive.

>>715182329
>I like making comfy bases across from rivers.
Then you'll enjoy 1.6. They've improved river generation.

>>715183916
doo bop shoebody dooo bop

>>715181846
Somebody set up us the bomb.

>>715183376
>In the new DLC,
>you can make heavy bridges
Oh, so this faggot literally made a thing that should be fucking basic part of the DLC? Imagine fucking paying for a generic bridge mod ripoff, cannot wait to pirate it again.

fuck... is it time for my yearly playthrough where I burn off a whole fucking week

>>715183617
It doesn't, the only thing that attracts more and stronger raiders is wealth and storyteller settings

>>715184773
What happens to your wealth when you strengthen your walls and defenses?

>>715184887
Walls are not THAT expensive, you know what is? The 3000 packs of yayo you have on your fridge

>>715184650
The heavy supports is far from the main reason to buy this DLC, but I mean, I still don't fault you for not paying Tynan prices.

>>715181405 (OP)
take a break, play something else for a few days and start your 3rd

>>715185023
Stone walls are expensive
Floors are expensive
Fancy weapons and armor are expensive
Bionics
Turrets
etc.
And then when you do get all the good stuff, raiders invent drop-pod raids so that your walls are instantly useless.

>>715185328
>is far from the main reason to buy this DLC
Is the ship shit actually integrated with the rest of the game? Or will we need modders to fix once again Tynan being a lazy hack?

>>715185023
this guy manages wealth

>>715185414
Skill issue, if your fucking wealth allocation is all going towards defense, THEN YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE PROBLEM WITH STRONGER RAIDS TO BEGIN WITH. Most endgame wealth comes from luxury shit for your bourgeois pawns.

>>715184887
it increases slightly, unless you build them from solid gold or something. IIRC floors increase wealth a lot more than other structures though

>>715185429
I can't tell you that yet, I haven't even booted it since the DLC dropped. But at least it adds half a dozen new biomes, a bunch of new animals, and you can even enhance animal brains so they can help out more dramatically. I bet mods are going to have to expand on that aspect though.

Anyone tried the new dlc yet? if so how is it or is it too early to tell?

>be in comfy tundra
>some weapon trader show up

>they all goes off in chain reaction nuking chunk of my colony

>>715185628
THIS
stop hoarding crap and sell it, turn it into defense, weapon and gear upgrades. melt shit down and reroll it into better stuff.

stop hoarding, use smaller fridges and get rid of your warehouses filled with dusters and rifles

>>715185628
Pure nonsense
I bet you use killboxes

>>715186410
DO NOT GET THE 300 POOR QUALITY 45,3% DURABILITY PISTOLS INVOLVED !

>>715185782
too early. wait a week

>>715186557
I will melt those fuckers, MELT THEM

>>715186546
It's been years since I last played vanilla, with CE you don't need a killbox, just a having a choke where you can throw shit is enough, instead of a metagame 1000% efficient killbox

>>715186807
you don't need vanilla killboxes either
CE is cope for weak players

>>715186997
>nooo le wealth management is too heckin'' hardd!!
>NOO DO NOT USE CEE THAT'S FUCKING CHEATING, YOU MUST DEAL WITH THE BORING RETARDED VANILLA RNG OR YOU'RE NOT ACTUALLY PLAYING THE GAME
sneed and dilate, you won't me stop from playing the game the way it's fun.

>>715187169
thanks for confirming you just suck ass and need cheat mods to feel accomplished

lol

>>715182085
Yeah, should have made it out of steel XD

>>715187319
>thanks for confirming you just suck ass and need cheat mods to feel accomplished

wealth management is super easy, just throw extra shit at neighbors for friendship points and get even stronger. embrace slave labor, embrace slave/animal military.

>>715182329
what kind of worldgen is this? is this a mod? looks really interesting

>>715185429
>>715184650
why do turd worlders act so entitled and rude?

>>715181405 (OP)
Assuming chan isn't a deadweight, you have a chance, and it only gets better if mel survives
It's not over yet

Put concrete floors in your areas you don't care if they look bad, so it doesn't combust as easily, they are about as easy to put down as wooden ones

>>715188410
Might be the geological land forms mod

>>715183184
Does it actually run better now?

>>715188969
It loads a lot faster. Didn't get a chance to see how much better it runs in the late game.

>>715184596
we get signal

its the mech hive

creamapi'd the DLC just like all the others hour 1
LMAOOOO

Wealth mechanic is ultimate cringe

>>715185893
...kino....

>>715189950
well theres an option to switch it for linear growth over time but then you'll have to be even better at minmaxing your colony

I hope Anthro Race still works with this update. shit broke last time. Can't play without furshit pawns.

>>715190040
Pretty sure you can change the linear scale

>>715190642
you can change the wealth scale too, what i mean is there is no room to sit at a single point and maintain. in time growth you HAVE to be improving at all times forever.

>>715190724
>maintain
aka intentionally get rid of resources as a way to scam to game narrator

>>715190943
or if you lose half of your colony in a raid the next raid still gets stronger anyway.

Are gravships fun?

>>715188410
I use that mod that lets you reroll seeds. I find a spot with a large river, a road, and a mountain, and then refresh it until I find a map I like, with a small amount of land inside the mountain, protected by the river.

i cant wait for pawnmorpher to get updated so i can enhance my not-umbrella playthrough through having a partyvan lab that steals tribals from their villages instead of needing to transport them all over the planet.
I could technically do that through biotech, but i liked the ability of injecting colonists with random shit and make them mutate into a chimera monster PM had.

ce status?

>>715192795
I do the exact same. Either that or a beachside area with some hill protection. Ultra comfy. Now that we can build fully on water it’ll be even comflier.
I still get my shit fucked up eventually, but that’s mostly because I’m terrible at proper base defense and using mortars, and don’t do killbox shit.

>>715186997
>CE is cope for weak players
Maybe i just like the ammo mechanic

>>715182153
Get the embrasures mod

>>715188969
The game with bloatmods loads into main menu in less than 10 seconds for me now

Am I supposed to get my space guys out of their suits? They slow them down considerably.

>>715193941
Build an outfit stand.

I'm childish for giggling.

>>715187326
Why the fuck does steel burn in this game.
Is it commentary on 9/11 truthers or something?

>>715195882
consider steel the framing not the entire wall being heavy plate steel.

>>715181405 (OP)
>built death trap gimmicks
Deserved it.

>>715195882
>Is it commentary on 9/11 truthers or something?
Rimworld is America now

>>715195882
its almost like this isn't earth

>>715181846
He bought rimworld.

>>715181405 (OP)
bro your firefoam poppers????

>>715196018
But the only construction material being used is steel.
Also, if that is the case and the cost of walls represents the only the frame then why are stone walls so resistant to fire?
>Uh, because they're made entirely of stone
No. Their recipe is identical to every other wall.
By your own logic, they must be frames with some other (inexplicably free) mystery material comprising the bulk of the actual wall.
So why do they not burn?

how to milk Booms for Gasoline?
Actually ive never tamed them before. What do you need and what do they graze?

>>715185023
learning the hard way that becoming a drug kingpen isn't what it's cracked up to be really hurts

>>715196753
the recipe doesnt matter because the numbers aren't representative of anything.
>enough of X or Y to do recipe
doesn't mean 1X = 1Y

>>715196440
What do you even mean by that?
Steel on earth is the same as Steel on mars is the same as steel floating around in deep space.
The physical properties of an element do not change if moved to a different location.

>>715197013
Maybe the fire is actually space fire.

What the fur do you mean by Framing walls with steel? Like, do stone and then a layer of steel? Sounds like a waste since Steel is finite.

I booted up the game with the new DLC and had like a billion errors, no mods enabled. Should I re install?

>>715196959
they work the same way as every other animal that produces milk, just put them in a pen and wait

>>715194213
iktfb
maybe we're just not mentally ill enough to make it as gamers...

>>715197193
>steel is finite
Won't the ground scanner spawn unlimited steel deposits for you to drill up?

This is my Anomaly endgame base, started in a desert then looked for a good mountain tile. Settled on the outside of the mountain then gradually dug inside.

>>715197537
Even without the scanner you can usually get steel easily from enemy camps.

>>715198127
I'm glad I'm not the only one making giant commieblocks rather than cities

btw where is your fridge/kitchen? they seem far away, you should put them very closely
with huge bases like this it's also fun to organize the travel time for your colonists. for example I always put the sleeping quarters at the very center of the base

Rimkino moment when I used the orbital laser on a hoard of entities and lit up the unnatural darkness during the monolith onslaught

>flying the ship between different ruins and looting
>first year and already overfilling warehouses
This is too easy.

>>715198471
The fridge is at the top. In retrospect, it was the only room I couldn't expand over time because it had to be right in the middle. The fridge is the most important room in your base imo.

>>715181405 (OP)
>wood base
Classic rookie mistake lmao

Rimkino moment when I used the orbital laser on a hoard of entities and lit up the unnatural darkness during the monolith onslaught

Aftermath of the almost game ending first raid by devourers (they came out of the river in the middle of the map). Devourers are totally broken and should be overhauled. Too bad Anomaly was marketed to sweats so they never cared about the game's basic rules.

Pemmican. The answer is pemmican. I keep trying to start an unholy tree worshipping dorf cult with tribals that only eat meat and mushrooms (because plants are holy) but I've been having a rough time of it but if I make pemmican (and grow medicine this time) that will solve everything.

>>715198893
>>715198471
i keep small fridge for meals near dining room and the big fridge for mats BUT that is sometimes reliant on me having a mod to remove mountainous roof for AC.

post your ships

Started this savejust prior to 1.6 and not done with it yet so I haven't moved on to the new generation.
Intended to play solo Mechinator but here I am, Sanguophage again. And barely any mechs to be seen. It's just too good to pass up when a Sanguophage quest spawns in the first year or so

>>715199639
Pemmican is yucky I can't make my colonists eat that.

>>715199639
pemmican is so insanely inefficient I can never bother with it

I want to try the new expansion but honestly I can't bring myself to play the game for more than a few minutes.
I should just make a preset that lets me skip the entire early game.

>>715199020
>>715199241
GLORIOUS.

i dont care for the way pemmican stacks, it fucks with my mind.

>>715199639
i like meat+mushroom combo because you can use a nutrifungus farm as a pasture and it's basically free. not the most efficient but still very lazy.

That fire kinda looks like a swatika

>>715185414
Am I the only person that makes their entire base 20 tiles into a mountain? The benefits are insane and the only real problem is it takes a bit longer to expand.

>>715199639
>unholy tree worshipping dorf cult
Alright wazzock, don't move.

>>715199840
You dont have to do that, just put the ac under the mountain as normal

>>715200315
And you can have 20 hives of bugs show up in your fridge. Also I think there is a mood debuff for living underground.

>>715184650
I could be wrong but I don't think that addition is actually IN the DLC, 1.6 is a pretty huge update even without it.

>>715200391
Bridge research specifically states that its Odyssey

>>715199896
Is all this stuff in the DLC, or did you mod it already?

>>715200357
yeah i dont remember why i started doing it but there was a reason at one point.

How come nobody made a nazi ideology

>dlc releases at 3am NZ time
>Only just woke up to play it now
You all have a headstart on me. Is the DLC good or is the DLC anomoly?

>>715200478
Just don't put too many doors in your corridors because it creates rooms that have their individual temperature calculations, that can cause overheating
With a large corridor you can easily vent your base in the event of fire by just removing the door or wall that connects it with the outside

>>715200504
You can just make it yourself.

>>715199896
Nice bootleg Odyssey

>>715200692
yeah i sometimes play with the hyper-door-vent-amplified freezer for frostbiting entities. i dont remember what the difference is between enclosed hot room and open one though.

>>715200778
At least SOS2 had ship battles and weapons for your ship.

>>715198127
why dont you use hidden conduits? They're immune to zzzt

>>715181405 (OP)
500%?

>>715196978
It only becomes a problem when you do nothing but stockpile it, if you were quickly selling it to buy weapons/resources/pawns you'd be fine.

>>715200372
The bugs are great, when they show up I don't have to worry about food for a few days.

>>715201342
>500%?
>tutorial in the corner
Don't think so? Lol

>>715201384
>when they show up I don't have to worry about food for a few days.
You might also not have to worry about the next raid if they spawn in a nice place

>>715201262
I don't remember if I ever got zzzt
I use them to connect geothermals, you don;t need batteries.
Also, they are unbalanced the way they were done officially and should have stayed a mod.

>>715201262
>>715201562
they are super unbalanced but so are blackouts, i go so far as to completely disable solar flares because genetics can take a million hours to get anywhere and without power its all reset.

>>715185414
Drop pod raids are a very minor faction of threat value
Just like sappers, they are much less threat value from a normal raid
Two or three good melee pawns with good armor should deal with any drop raid, if you make some preparations like having corridors
Even easier if you have addons like psychic lance or powers
You will probably only lose the furniture in the room

>>715201452
I'm quite excited because now Rimworld will use multithreat
My game would start to brick at 500% when I got a late game tribal raid

>>715201869
>because now Rimworld will use multithreat
Nice, I'll pirate a new version as soon as possible

>>715201738
Doesn't a flare last just short of the gene banks expiring?
Solar flares are a good mechanic, maybe it's the gene bank collectathlon grind that you describe that is actually bad for the game.

>>715201754
>Two or three good melee pawns with good armor should deal with any drop raid
>Go into melee
>Miss
>Get shot by 8 other enemy pawns
>They cut through your power armor like butter with some shitty smg because lmao story generator

Essential.

>>715202030
lose some double digit % of health on the genes every single time. it's a terrible mechanic both ways but solar flares are less bad.

>>715202049
>Go into melee
>Miss
Good melee paws have very high hit chance

>Get shot by 8 other enemy pawns
Melee paws obviously have shield belts

>>715202296
>Melee paws obviously have shield belts
fuck I unironically forgot they are a thing sorry
I'm gonna complain that their durability goes down even not when in combat though

>>715202521
theyre replaced at 50% because of generic automated gear replacement rules i set up on day 2

>>715202049
>>Get shot by 8 other enemy pawns
good melee pawns absolutely rip ass because when the director spawns melee pawns it gives them a steel helmet and flak pants, and a sandstone club, versus your half mechanical legendary plasteel sword swinging machine

is it me, or this multithreading update accidentally led to events happening way more often?
My log is practically spammed with 10 different shits happening each day when before that it was pretty much
>Press 4
>Do nothing for an hour

Im not complaining though, shit is finally fun.

>>715202521
if you have a master crafter, it's really good to have excellent shield belts... the extra charge really helps
dunno if they changed this update, but human primacy crafter really helped at chunking top tier gear

I had a look at some oscarbloat comments

>>715202736
Just you. Works on my machine. Just Randy being Randy.

>>715202237
Biotech is just junk overall. I think it was the point when DLC ran out of ideas and started copying shitty mods. The problem is that those shitty mods never had any business becoming official gameplay.

>>715203054
vampires are cool
>t. vampire cyborg psychker mechanist cultist aligned with the void

>>715202932
Thats the thing - i didnt play with Randy. I had a billion events happen on Ultimate, Cassandra, Perry and Winston, with hotseat constantly changing them as a result.
Before 1.6 i barely had anything happen regardless of the storyteller, except for Randy, where FUCKING NOTHING was happening.

>>715203054
i think the genetics part was designed from the outset to be a mod framework, lining up the possibility of modding traits and shit in a baseline standard game way. i like mechanitors and the children system and even vampires are OP but pretty balanced. it's basically just genes that are shitty.

>>715202736
Just Randy things.
Nothing happens then, boom. 3 raids in a row.

>>715203054
Every DLC was literally just copying shitty mods
Royalty is Rimworld of Magic but worse
Ideology is the mods that just changed pawn feelings about shit
I don't remember any SCP mods for Anomaly but it's also the worst one so I don't think being original is really a good thing

>>715203625
i absolutely love anomaly but it has least content, worst value for sure.

>>715203625
>I don't remember any SCP mods for Anomaly but it's also the worst one
Anomaly has plenty cool stuff, but it's yeah very short
Love me ghouls, just wish they had a better reward for deactivating the machine rather than linking it

>no ship-to-ship combat

>>715203830
>Love me ghouls, just wish they had a better reward for deactivating the machine rather than linking it
The one guy who does it becomes unbelievably strong, doesn't he?

>>715203625
There were SCP mods before Anomoly for sure.
The thing is, the DLCs add frameworks for modders to build upon. SoS2 is still being developed and will be better because of Odyssey.

>>715204345
Ye, that's the reward for linking with the void
Deactivating the machine only gives some relation points with all factions

>>715204510
>SoS2 is still being developed and will be better because of Odyssey.
quick question. how exactly will it be better?
i can think of anything the DLC provides that SoS2 could build off of.

Just like how Anomaly's submaps gave us a way better Z-levels mod than ones before it.

That does sound quite disappointing.

>>715205669
Remove the ads nigger

>>715205297
We'll get there. Anomaly introduced submaps and there is already a mod for 1.5 that uses them to make z-levels colonists can navigate through, so i think it would be quite possible for actual developers to add.
The bigger question is if Tynan's book allows it.

>>715205609
Disable breaches, sappers and mechs then.

>just cheat! it makes the game easy!

>>715205864
no random gen maps are unrelated, cant path between them. not any different than random road ambushes.

I'm not good at Rimworld, I don't know how large I need to grow food, don't k ow if I should hunt everything on the map, don't know how to create a barn for animals, etc. I have to this day yet to create a fucking gun besides a bow and arrow.

>>715205675
>>715205884
>>715205956
Cool, but it's not that I don't EVER want to fight mechanoids, I just want a little variety. You can only kill 50 centipedes every week for so many weeks in a row before you start wanting to just raise your kids in peace.

>>715205796
I dunno, I don't pay attention to the graphs much. I run colonies for absurd lengths, though, so it's probably not something you'd usually have to deal with. My last colony was something like 25 in-game years old.

>>715206221
Just play more.

>>715206221
animals constantly migrate so there's no downside to killing all the animals on your map besides triggering aggro

It wouldn't be a nice story if bunch of tribal retards couldn't breach your plasteel walls with their primitive wooden spears

>>715206519

How's the new DLC? A skip (royalty and anomaly) or core (ideology and xenotech)

I do not remember the context of this screenshot

Rare Rimworld thread.
Only played Rimworld for a little over 200h so I'm still a newfag but I've got some questions
Is it true that the AI shits itself on maps larger than colonies larger than medium size (250x250 or w/e) like the warning says or is that just performance cope?
Is Anomaly really that bad? I have the other three - still waiting on the consensus for Odyssey
Any must have QoL mods? Must be lore-friendly and feel as though they could be part of the basegame

are there any mods that rebalance the game for no killboxes? like I'm just gonna honor system myself and not cheese the game, but I don't want 300-person raids attacking my 8-person colony

>>715207774
>Is it true that the AI shits itself on maps larger than colonies larger than medium size
Kind of? It only matters if you're not restricting your pawn zones which every "advanced" player does, it can however fuck up NPCs sometimes and the longer pathing does decrease performance.

>>715207774
>Is it true that the AI shits itself on maps larger than colonies larger than medium size (250x250 or w/e) like the warning says or is that just performance cope?
Performance, though do remember that big maps will take a long time to traverse for friendlies and enemies.
>Is Anomaly really that bad?
I have 6,700 hours in the game and haven't even tried doing a full Anomaly run once.
>Any must have QoL mods?
There are many.

>>715204998
>babby's first colony sim
>z-level
lol
dorf trannies still exist?

>>715208251
only mod I can think of is Combat Extended

>>715208251
>but I don't want 300-person raids attacking my 8-person colony
Other than CE, use the compressed raids mods, instead of sending an infinite amount of raiders, they'll start coming juiced up, with bionics, doomsday launchers, and at one point just flat stat increases, you can tweak it to your liking.

>>715207774
I think Anomaly is good if you think about it more like self-contained campaign that you play through once and then never again. It's a bit pricey though in that regard.

I'm thinking about getting this game, does it really have in-game ads?

>>715208930
You're in luck anon!

>>715207774
>>715208721
Anomaly isn't just the campaign, there's some great generic non-niche shit you will want for any colony. Mind-numb is godly, bioferrite is a great material, ghouls are OP as fuck, frenzy juggernaut, the new lances. summoning/kidnapping rituals. there's a load of great shit for the small cost of occasionally having longer term shit events.

>>715209083
There's a definitely some good things. The rituals are ridiculously OP though especially the one that let you de-age and cure injuries. I think Anomaly in general has the best and most interesting raids. But it doesn't really add any new fundamental features like the other DLCs if you play with the monolith off.

>>715209398
idk, was it possible to mod in different research trees before anomaly? that seems to be the feature i see most in mods.

>>715184650
And yet people eagerly buy it, because it's good and people want it. Strange.

>>715206519
There are new fortified walls with 7500 hp
I doubt we can make them in vanilla though
Reach for mod

>>715195882
>Why the fuck does steel burn in this game.
Because the dev is a greedy idiot.

>>715205512
All except for Anomaly unless you want your entire playthrough to be Anomaly

Is there ever any reason to do anything other than Deathrest Accelerators?

>>715210069
Crazy buffs.

>>715210184
Only good buff is movespeed and maybe psy, right?
The hemo stuff just seems like shit

>>715181405 (OP)
How's this compare to dorf fortress? Some people told me they were similar so I never really tried this one.

What's this retard talking about ads? I haven't seen a single ad in game

>>715210234
I like using the hemo abilities, so more hemo is nice.

>>715210323
It's a less autistic version of Dorf but still quite autistic

>>715210323
DF dorfs are worse than rimworld pawns but the DF UI can't be beat.

>>715208930
For the dlc yes. And it annoys me

>>715210461
>but the DF UI can't be beat

>>715211150
i mean it for real and for true, the DF job management and build queue are godly. stockpile management and hauling and zones are all MUCH better and also sane. really rimworld just copied the concepts without any of the design.

Anyone having an issue with Character Editor not showing pawns on the side bar?

>>715211950
No, works just fine for me. Check your mod load order

>more recycling mods into dlc

Autistic animu mousegirl update coming soon?

>>715212330
I'm hoping for the official Rimjob World DLC

Do you guys ever start with custom xenotypes?

>>715212714
sometimes i add a gene i want to collect to a starter guy yeah

>>715212663
"R" is next in RIBOARLD

>>715212714
yeah, I made a custom kitsune xenotype that everyone worshipped for my jap playthrough

>>715212836
You mean RIBAORLD

so did they actually properly add Replace Stuff to the game or do you still need the mod? were there other QOL mods they tried to officially add to the DLC?

>>715212714
My last colony started with a human man, an insectoid female, and a big minotaur guy, all custom xenotypes created from a bunch of mods.
The human married the insectoid, and she injected her egg into a senile old horse that exploded in gore when their baby was born. The most adorable blonde-haired pig-tailed baby bug you ever done seen.
She unfortunately bled out in the freezer after a zombie melted her arm off, while hiding from a black insectoid (mod) raid that beheaded her dad and bisected her mother.

What do you guys do to defend your colonies if you don't use kill boxes or choke points?

>>715213940
broken mods

>>715213940
Play on an easier difficulty

>>715213940
Turrets with sandbags, mortars, and a kill squad of my best fighters. Don't ignore melee, they are OP.
Burden is broken, aim for that. Get a really good psycaster or 2.

>but they can build a nuclear powered space ship.
not my problem the dev is a retard

>>715212714
Yeah, I normally start with five goblins.

>>715213940
I reload if I think a raid can be salvageable after a loss.
If my shit is already fucked from previous raids, I'll usually turn down the difficulty for a bit until I've recovered a bit.
I will never use killbox shit.

>>715213940
>or choke points
Chokepoints still exist in real life, there's nothing out of place in trying to bottleneck your enemy,

>>715213940
Why wouldn't I use killing fields and chokepoints?

How bad is the learning curve of this game?

>>715215457
getting through day 1-3 is hard and then day 4-50 is pretty easy and then its hard again.

>>715214529
I would never self insert. A staggeringly ugly depressive misogynist makes for a poor colonist.

>>715215457
It's not really hard to learn. The biggest hurdle is going to be figuring out work bills and order priorities. Zones and such might be confusing at first, but its really simple. Most aspects of the game are simple, but look a little intimidating.

>>715181405 (OP)
Play with save-load any time, disable insta death shots on your own pawns. No mods needed. Raids become puzzles and you never need to build killboxes or perimeter walls ever again.

>>715215457
It's not that bad, especially if you go into your first few colonies with the expectation that they're going to be shit and may be wiped out at any moment

>>715215457
Just make sure you have food for winter (/like in all colony games with seasons) and set the combat threats to be as trivial as possible, and you basically can't fail. Then you can up the difficulty whenever you feel like it as you figure out how to do things.

>>715213940
Does a bridge across a river count as a choke point?

>>715214529
Not a self insert but if whoever the playthrough is based around dies to some bullshit then yeah, I'll quit

>>715212714
Made a 2 pawn colony with 1 vampire that needs no death rest and 1 servant. Only slaves otherwise. Was fun!
Save load mode of course.

>>715215962
No. Choke points block passage of more than however many units wide it is. This lets hundreds of units march up on you at the same time, some of them will just be slowed.-

>>715204998
It's the gold standard of the genre, tranny fortess lost bigly.

I always play this way, the game feels better when there are actual stakes instead of always watching your pawns fuck themselves up all the time like the little darwin awards they are, as Tynan intended.

>>715208587
what stats? their shooting and melee stats?

>>715213940

Rimworld Steam Workshop is down
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

>>715218146
I wish the game let you pick one Main Character that can't die (can go into coma at worst) and that have bias to be included in events. I mean it's a game where you pick a storyteller, shouldn't this feature be obvious?

>>715218958
So true. Fuck that fake-ass shit.
Since we've successfully bullied Tynan into making a real DLC with Odyssey after the failure of Anomaly, we need to continue and force him to make an actual faction + world simulation DLC.
I am so angry that he's autistically stubborn on that one specific thing. Rimworld's already a 4X at this point

>>715221884
>actual faction + world simulation DLC.
I would fucking love it, that's my biggest problem with the game

>>715221843
I always saw it as laziness. He knows all he has to do is half-ass things and let RNG do the rest. If he truly wanted storytelling he could add stuff like what you said or even a basic prepare carefully option, but that would mean he has to work on it to make it engaging and fun.

>>715200372
It's totally unbalanced, but I like the EZ Infestation mod for comfy mountain colonies. The base is totally invincible once you get your main rooms dug out, power on, a hydroponics room or two up, and some long trapped hallways built on the outside. Even long-term events like toxic fallout are no threat at all, just confine your colonists to the base and tank the mood debuff.

Rimpoop lol!

>make gravships to encourage nomadic gameplay
>add more diverse world features through landmarks to make visiting other areas more appealing

what did tynan mean by this

>>715226321
dumb balance decision
>hurrr durrr you're supposed to be a nomad no go to old places

rush a grav anchor or get a mod that disables tile destruction

>>715226321
Leaving 1 caretaker for your main base (preferably one that controls mechs) SHOULD technically allow a persisting base, right?

>>715227118
it destroys the tile and kills anyone not on the ship

>>715227210
what if you build and launch a ship at a different tile?

>>715227532
i mean sure but the ship will never be able to visit the colony

>>715227210
Seems insane to make people nuke their bases in a base building game.

>>715227650
The ship is your base now

>>715226321
Build Grav Anchors.

>>715228310
THATS WHATS MISSING

>>715229095
no, you'll just get pod drops if you do that. turn your ocean into a kill zone and you're fine. extremely flammable wooden bridge maze or something.

>>715213940
defense in depth with 2 wide corridors all over the place and turrets in corners

depending on the direction a raid is coming from, I just set up my melee line and shooters behind them in the hallway and then begin mulching

I also have some disposable grenadiers with molotovs for fuckhuge tribal or insect infestations

>>715229192
it would be cool if it just made you immune to the early game tribal raids and you got to play up to drop pod raids in peace

You're supposed to tame them.

>>715229648
if you edit the map you can make yourself a mountain-roof deep water island i guess. probably just start getting sieges instead.

>Literal second day
>Visitors leave a gift

Thanks I guess.

>>715229736
if you bludgeon a boomalope to death you can slaughter it and get chemfuel

>>715229826
That sounds like a mod.

>>715213940
a parody of WWI with sci-fi stuff instead.

>>715215457
even if all your colonist die, the game gives you an event were random people settle in, so there's no real end game unless every single tile and resource breaks down turning into wild forest, and even that is pretty easy to overcome

>>715229736
That explains a lot. I have never used Chemfuel in a run once and I have 300 hours.

The gravship is fun but overpowered as fuck.

>>715229758

>>715231589
walls actually work, add big gates to the game that open/close slowly
infestations cause tunnel/mountain collapse in a wide area, meaning you have to dig everything out, not just repair some tables (to prevent mountainbasing)
raiders make demands before launching their attack
early warning system for incoming drop pods after you have comm system installed
naked people in loincloths die/collapse when shot unless they are actually on drugs

>>715204998

add basic maintaining tasks to repair armor

add super high tech research "summon queen resonator" to summon the insect queen on your map, and if you kill her bugs stop spawning inside your mountain letting you build into it without crazy risks

>>715231589
tone down raids severely
add soil nutrient mechanics and animal husbandry

>>715232221
yeah later on colony wealth is so out of control that the raid sizes just don't make sense anymore, and quests are also based off of wealth and become un-doable like mega construction projects requiring 18,000 blocks

its also annoying and difficult to shed wealth quickly to tone it down

>>715230113
No. I ignore every quest that wants me to leave my base.

>>715181405 (OP)
Man I've been playing Soviet Republic Workers and Resources and this is most indepth and complicated city builder I've played it made me apologize to Rimworld for me thinking it was complex

Yes. That's the point. This is what I want.

okay then swarm of ghouls

So if I wanted to have a ghoul relatively early but also wanted to do odyssey content which start should I do anomaly or odyssey?

>>715234023
noooo I can't just put down some sandbags and turrets and use my buildings and nature as covers I have to meta gameeeeeeee

>>715221884
>>715221979
I assume he's worried that it'll invite even more "DF but worse" comparisons, even though DF itself has long ago evolved beyond its roots into not being a videogame at all.

>>715233494
Because that's how I choose to play the game.

I think I've gone on maybe two expeditions out of my starting tile ever.

>>715235262
Yeah, pretty much. But the base game isn't too shabby, either.

>>715198127
How do you avoid bugs

>>715232560
At least consider the "we'll shuttle you over to shoot some dudes" quests the Empire offers. They're piss easy.

>>715231980
>raiders make demands before launching their attack
insane that the game has been out this long without implementing this

>>715236264
both lowering your wealth and avoiding fight, pretty good

>>715235262
I did a mod purge for the recent DLC and haven't noticed a thing honestly. There's like a handful of QoL and UI mods you might want, game's perfectly fine as is.

>>715204998
Every dwarf fortress thread dies in short order

>>715235956
They always spawn on mountain tiles, you can only avoid them by disabling them when you start a new run.
They're not that hard to deal with though.
>>715236264
Not a bad idea. I might make a mod for that. Have it balanced around those who prepare before attacking have a chance to ask for demands, giving you until they attack to decide.
shouldn't be too hard. Unless something like this already exists so I don't have to?

stupid ass pyromaniac pawns, FUCK

>>715237018
Theres no such thing as pyromaniac pawns, only pyromaniac arm chairs.

>raider drops one bottle of go-juice

>>715234786
Do Odyssey start because the Odyssey stuff looks to be mid-endgame. You can capture anomalies for research anyway.

>>715237207
Not very. It focuses on the city where rimworkd focuses on individual colonists

>>715237207
It's similar in the way that you need to design every building. There's no "sleeping quarters" building, you put down the walls and doors and beds yourself.
But it's much more macro oriented. You don't care about the individuals, you're quickly building for dozens if not hundreds of people.

>>715181846
wooden walls

Thoughts on "starjacks"? the new xenotype?

>>715228928
>is biotech worth getting
biotech is the best dlc, followd by ideoligion, royalty >>> anomaly if you are into eldritch horror. you can disable a lot each playthrough and has some niche content but is the most skippable one

Nomad life is the gravship is pretty comfy desu. Having to adapt to each biome to keep your food and chemfuel up on the way to the next ship upgrade is a nice change of pace

>>715238331
New order is Biotech > Odyssey > Ideology > Royalty >>>>> Anomoly.

>>715231589
Combat Extended but without the /k/ autism. Firing a gun in vanilla feels really fucking faggy, bullets fly everywhere and they just look weak. Combat Extended adds some much needed oomph, but all the ammo and gun names that would be outdated in Rimworld's time is too much.

>>715238908
Swap Odyssey and Biotech, grav-ships alone make it the best DLC since it's practically canonised SoS2.

>>715210323
DF is more a sandbox experience and Toadys ultimate goal is simulation
RW is more of crisis management experience and far more "gamey" in design

>>715238908
why not Biotech=Odyssey>Ideology>Royalty>>>Anomaly

why do i get an error when returning to my home colony after doing the Mechanoid relay Hack? what the fuck

>>715239460
post modlist

>>715239460
You have to read your error log and search what it says.
I just ignore them half the time honestly. If it runs it runs.

>>715239559
yeah I already restarted another colony with all the mods turned off but these are the mods I was using earlier.

>>715215789
Where's the fun in that?

>>715240035
Some people only find fun in winning.

post yur ships.
I usually never do single structure colonies and always have done village style builds so this DLC is pretty much forcing an interesting playstyle on me.

>>715235956
Notice the cave complex next to my base, the algorithm prefers dark winding tunnels and itwill outcompete the cells within your base.

Ignore what "just mod it" people are saying, the game is perfectly playable and fair in vanilla if you learn the mechanics and udnerstand the design intent.

rimworld has a lot of problems
however, it's the only game I've found that will let me create a self-insert fantasy of being a young human boy raised by a primitive tribe of big tiddied mature furry women where-in my superior human intellect raises them out of the stone age while they flatten my dick multiple times a day

one thing I dont like about rimworld is that you just build your place and thats it
the entire world map is mostly point less
I wish there is way more interaction with the world map
did the new DLC fix that?

>>715243337
In a sense since you can take your base with you to new maps now.

>>715243337
Yes, it added a bunch of points of interest to visit, and every 2 weeks or so a swarm of mechanoids will hunt you so you need to keep moving.

For me? It's the mech mods that make me feel like a cool guy sending my 16 year olds to pilot gungriffons

>>715243337
I have hopes that a DLC will focus on diplomacy, trading, alliances, borders, etc.
The new DLC at least makes it easier to travel around the map, but stuff like changing the planet for good would be nice. Like, you could create a crusade to take out all bandit camps. You could create peace and make a council of all the factions. You could take over the planet and rule it yourself.
I know it doesn't fit with the smaller scale the game has always aimed for, but then what about creating a territory with borders and controlling whatever goes on within, including dealing with other factions?

>>715236878
>Unless something like this already exists so I don't have to?
More Faction Interaction. Rim War and Vanilla Events Expanded.

I just started on the oddessy start thing, I land and come to the realization i've never actually gotten as far as making chemfuel so I guess I better learn how fast

>>715244886
Ah I see chuck organic matter into refiner get fuel
although I notice I can also just milk boomalopes which there are some on my map

Everyone has fun with this game but no matter how hard I try I either:

>get bored early with a snail pace research

>annoyed the steam vents are too far from fertile lands forcing me to chose between energy or food early

>my brawler or shooter getting fucked up by a single squirrel because they can't fucking shoot straight

>>715234023

>>715245045
I never used it since the bulk of my playtime was in the time it was still broken post anomaly release but doesn't that combat extended mod make skilled shooters way more accurate?

>>715245432
yeah I bit the bullet (lel) recently and downloaded this mod

>>715242919
SOVL

Oh fuck I forgot that cut fully grown isn't vanilla why isn't it vanilla
maybe you don't really need to worry about making supplies last in this scenario where I will need to frequently move anyway

The constraints of the gravship scenario have taught me a valuable lesson about leaving electrically powered production facilities outside where they can get rained on, chemfuel refinery my beloved, I thought I just got super unlucky with lightening strikes on 2 facilities in short order and was gonna repair them in the morning, then one of them got on fire a second time

I played the spaceship start, and it seems kinda meh. The space constraits make things more difficult, but in an annoying way. Landing for timber (to make chemfuel) and food (to make nutrient paste) is annoying if there's no object of interest in the area to do by the side as you wait for the engine to cool down. Because of the limited space, you can't really build a big team quick enough to enjoy landing on tribal villages and raiding them.

Overal I still think the most fun start is an eldrich cult, dont @ me with your bad anomaly takes. There's always stuff to do in that start.

dlc is pretty bad
>gameplay loop is very simple and repetitive

>>715229503
You get to play again! Setting up mods is the real game

>>715230015
Never used smokepop or jump packs? O think at least jump packs refuel with chemfuel

>>715231589
I would make mortar shots destroy roof tiles without harming things underneath, and auto mortar would take 5 times longer before it activates.

>>715246530
>expect to get a machine pistol with 20% chance to set pawns on fire and +30% range
Sounds great, unironically. I'm a sucker for unique weapons even if they kinda suck.

tip: nutrient paste is good and the only downside is the -4 mood they get for eating it

I don't see any dev responses, retard. Just pirate the dlc if you don't want to drop 25$.

Tynan is balancing on a tight rope where he wants to build as much goodwill as possible while still ripping his customers off.
He is very good at it, judging by how many fanboys he has gathered.

how long until they delete this screenshot

(You) dont have to listen to tourists anon. Dwarf Fort and Rimworld appease the Colony Sim Chad for different reasons. Both stand singular in their appeals

>>715247926
Anything related to performance enhancement as the core of your list. Rocketman, performance fish/optimizer, followed by UI QoL mods such as dubs mint menus, RPG inventory and compact hediffs, then wrapping up with general enhancements and fixes to mechanics, like cleaner pathfinding, storage refill hysteresis, thick wall insulates and anything of that nature. After that, it's up to you, retextures, gameplay alterations or additions.

>>715238927
you can use this mod to turn all CE guns and ammo names to generic, much easier to read names

why would they?

>>715215094
It's not chokepoints that's an issue, it's retarded AI that does predictable shit.
I mean, it'd be fine if they did predictable shit 99% of the time, but they should once in a while do 900iq moves and ruin colonies for complacent players.
And no, drop pods and miners are still predictable.

>two infections in the same night
>both events hit the same two pawns
honestly fuck off Randy

>>715213940
I do use choke points, but they're not the blatant sort you often see. I make granite walls five tiles thick and then place turrets behind them to make attacking pawns path to any of two or three entrances six to eight tiles wide, then I just set up some sandbags and embrasures on the other side of it and defend it normally. If I'm feeling frisky I'll set up some minefields in parts of the map I want raiders to avoid.

Counterintuitively, a lot of the defenses in the game like turrets and mines aren't actually meant to be used to kill, but as area denial. Pawns will always favour any hole in your defenses over actively defended areas with the exception of conscripted pawns.

I'm going to play RimWorld for the first time
Do I get all the dlcs
Any tips or tricks I should know going in? I know literally nothing about the game.

>>715251041
>Any tips or tricks I should know going in?
The game becomes really boring and simple once you know "tips and tricks", I'd recommend going in blind.
Also yeah, DLCs are needed even if you're not gonna use its contents, since there are lots of mods that require every DLC.

>>715184650
Game is literally free on every single website. Gog-games.to has the latest version with the odyssey dlc

>>715251041
Avoid anomaly until you're better at the game. Don't stockpile valuables unless you intend to use them, if you're turning pawns into cyborgs, be aware that doing so removes sub-parts, making shots against them more likely to hit vital organs for insta kills, so only do that when you're able to keep them well armoured.

>>715249420
That’s clearly docked on an orbital station, retard.

>>715251041
just download the game and all the dlc for free off gog

Make a form of that raid compression mod official. Instead of scaling to 200 retards running into your base and it being tower defense have the people who come in be way less but better equipped and stronger.

there was a mod that did this, what was its name?

doesn't mean shit

Just got to my first need to flee, I feel the timing of how long it takes them to start chasing you again is pretty good

>>715253956
Oh wait they still give you 15 days after the notification I thought it was gonna be more of a case of we have to leave NOW
Guess that gives me a warning to not build anything else

>>715253467
then why let it upset you

So what do I do now? I have food, I'm researching shit.
Do I just wait for raiders and that's it?

>>715254581
You pursue any of a number of victory conditions, they'll show up as quests over time.

>>715252085
Is Biotech the one where you can give everyone hard drug "addictions" which are actually beneficial in return for replacing the ungodly lvl 20 grind/sustain with level 12 mastery and making them more efficient in general?

If leaving on a ship destroys the area (and this is themed as actual destruction if you look at the description for the item that prevents it) does that mean there will be mood penalties for destroyed graves?
Guess i'm about to find out

Did the new update fix the massive performance drops that Anomaly update brought?

>>715254581
ehhh, I can find a lot of things to improve
mostly important, why don't you make a small room for the kitchen? look at how much dirt there's in that room... you are asking for food poisoning

>>715197013
Soil on Earth is also called earth.
Soil on Mars is also called mars.

>>715255414
I'm more interested in what am I supposed to do. Do I just stare at the screen like a retard and wait for raiders?

>>715255561
you can gather your guys and raid somebody else if you want

>>715181846
Nerve gas

>>715251041
Whatever you do, don't let pawns to their own devices, they need ridiculous amounts of babysitting. You need to literally manage what they do and when they do it, from eating to wearing shit to having fun and even where they walk through. If you fail to micro them eventually they will do something dumb and frustrate you.

>>715255561
If you picked the bitches then attacks come on a schedule.

If you picked Randy you get the same amount of average attacks but with random distribution, meaning you can get absolutely dogpiled nonstop or stare at the screen for half a year with no raids.

In general you use the time between raids to improve your base, and ideally to recruit the raiders from the previous raid if necessary.

"Colonist joined" events are far more common below a certain colonist threshold.

>>715255561
Build out your base some more, plan out new rooms, set up defenses, build up material and supply stockpiles for winter.

>>715255561
go through the research tree, improve your base, finish quests for rewards, get better gear and face harder and harder raids
end goal can be a fully self sufficient colony or doing any of the endings, the world is your oyster

>>715255561
okay, what is your pawn good in? you should improve your base while raids don't happen
if you are playing on hard, you should make some traps and a killing corridor

>>715218958
What does that do?

>>715251256
>c-clearly if you look at the very bottom, theres a 2x2 platform that perfectly blends into the background!!
it's misleading is what it is. stop defending them. it's such a simple feature that would take little effort to make.

tribal niggers stole my ship's engine while i was cutting wood to make into fuel

>>715231589
overhaul how pawns are generated, stat them, allow them to learn skills specifics like +4 shooting when using a revolver or something to make them more interesting.

>>715256794
It's a feature that was already possible before the DLC, SoS2 did it and they had to jank that entire mod in. It's just Tynan's way to take mod ideas and implement them worse than the mods themselves.

>>715256949
Stopped in the wrong hood muhfugga

>more logical raiding (demands, reasons for raids, etc)
what the next dlc will be
>hey guys we're launching the Roads dlc which will poorly port over the vanilla vehicles extended. something something mad max. $90

hey fags I'm late for the train, should I play this game with every DLC right away or start a vanilla run first ?

>>715257541
>royalty
not necessary, it will overwhelm you early on with abilities and shit you don't need
>ideology
pretty good to have since it lets you customize your colonies further, good if you like roleplaying
>biotech
good if you want more diverse pawns rather than just basic humans. you can make people that spew fire but are weak to cold, shit like that.
>anomaly
changes the game drastically into something else entirely. not recommended unless you wanna play anomaly
>odyssey
makes the game different also but less drastically than anomaly, blends into the rest of the game somewhat
i'd say you should start with vanilla and then get ideology to test out the waters.

>>715257541
You can install Ideology and Biotech right away.
Enable the rest once you figure out how to play.

>>715256148
In RimWorld, "adaptation" refers to how the game's difficulty adjusts based on a player's performance. It's a mechanic that increases the challenge when a player is doing well and decreases it when they're struggling. The "adaptation score" grows over time as the player achieves success and is reduced when the player takes damage. This system is part of the AI storyteller, which manages the game's events and challenges.

>>715257541
You seem pretty gung-ho, so I recommend you go in blind with everything active and see what happens. Bonus points if you start off as a single naked dude with a wooden plank and club.

>>715184650
You fucking retard. You're aware that every rimworld DLC comes with a major patch and that most of the fixes and improvements are part of that which is free right? Of course you aren't, you don't play shit you're just some reddit tourist getting upset over nothing.

This is the only way I play, what the fuck is wrong with me.

>>715257521
I'm not as pessimistic as you and I think bringing over ground vehicles to vanilla would be great but it is weird how stuff with factions has never really been expanded on

>>715251041
Buy base game, then pirate it and all dlc. Buying everything is way too expensive.

You don't even need mods for that, use the scenario editor.

>>715258224
I'm going to something similar for my next colony.
Remember organs are often worth more than the colonist, so you can make friends this way.
Ideology with alpha memes will allow you to even create a religion out of this.

I'm still on 1.4 with zero DLC and a fuckton of mods.

No regrets.

Somethings seriously wrong with /vg/, every single general is just brim full of some of the most retarded trannies i've ever seen.

Always be working on shit. Expanding the base, planting crops, making trade goods to sell, improving rooms, adding new rooms, etc.

>>715257657
anomaly has a percentage slider now so you can mix in some of it into your normal playthrough

Why do you guys play this the graphics are horrible

>>715258847
It's the fact that it's a board entirely built around generals. The issue with generals is that anons get too familiar with each other and form cliques, and it just degrades from there. There's a couple decent threads where it stays on topic, but for the most part it attracts the terminally online and attention starved.

>>715259412
Still better than the standalone threads where shitposting is mandatory

>>715259578
no it's not

>>715259578
I'll take shitposting over insular ritualposting any day of the week

>>715259578
It literally isn't because the shitposting is still mandatory in a general, in fact they usually attract worse shitposters, and that's a generous description.

>Hugslib still not updated
See you in next month.

>>715181405 (OP)
your fault for not living like a hobo cheesing the wealth system so you get one guy with a club and killing wanderers so you can cheese adaption

>>715259172
For fun

>>715259672
I wouldn't say that. I think there's a degree of familiarity that invites more well behaving anons, but I'm speaking based solely on my experience on /g/ and Stalker generals on /vg/, which are the ones I'm usually somewhat active.
This thread right now is surprisingly tame, though. And the ones we had recently about RTSs.

>>715260023
Yeah, sometimes you get good threads as I said, but the norm is full of human garbage. I invite you to spend a week browsing /wowg/ or any gacha thread, and you'll change your tune really fucking fast.

>>715181405 (OP)
At least you got conrete roads to mitigate your whole base burning down. It's salvageable.

>>715255748
this shit is pissing me off, the work priority tab needs an advanced version because why should

Fuck that. I'll concede and take your word for it. kek
Let's at least agree that some are better than others.

>>715260470
Don't need to agree, I already know that's a fact. It really seems to depend on the game or genre.

Had one of my original spacers die, F. The tribal I recruited to replace him is a nudist, making for quite the contrast.

Gravships are fucking shit

Prepare for the next raid or threat. This is the only thing you should be thinking about... after you have recovered from the last raid or threat.

>>715253467
yeah the number is probably higher when you consider people playing it for free off gog

I de-oscared Rimworld and I have never enjoyed the game this much before. Trimming away all the distracting junk really allows the base game design of *problem solving* to shine again

>>715251470
>are there any lovecraftian mods?
There used to be "Rim of Madness" a long time ago, I remember really liking it but I don't think there's even a version on 1.5 let alone 1.6. It's a big shame, I remember getting attacked by Star Vampires with no warning and having an army of Deep Young.
Don't miss Jecstools though.

>RimWorld thread hitting bump limit
WE DID IT!

>>715241801
>and udnerstand the design intent.
You are definitely ignoring the intent here and cheesing the mechanics. If big streamers start doing this on mass, tynan will patch this immediately

wonder what other ships from Starsector i should try and recreate

>>715254581
Have you...no interest in expanding or exploring?

>>715181405 (OP)
wood base is the rimworld equivalent of a minecraft dirt cabin

>>715263794
Does dirt cabin collapses when it rains?

>>715263938
you should suggest this to microsoft, good idea

>>715263471
I'm not ignoring any intent, this is literally how the game's mechanics. It really does prefer to spawn infestations OUTSIDE of your mountain base, it is just that players go with a min-max attitude thinking that they can make a base sprawl through the whole mountain and leave nothing untouched.
As long as you have a natural cave or a strip mine the infenstations WILL spawn there 90% of the time.
I did get an infestation inside the base eventually and it was very easy to handle with the chokepoint design of my open corridors. It was just took a longer time than usual to recover from it by cleaning the mess.

>>715263471
>>715264386
I can't stress this enough: the game wants to NOT spawn an infestation INSIDE YOUR BASE
