any penis bases online rn

>>715385293
How about a uterus base?

mechanoids have really spoiled me i cant play the game without grabbing the mechlink first thing everything is so tedious without my bots.

ok so what are the dlc features and what are the 1.6 updates?
apparently heavy bridges and fishing is dlc exclusive when there's no reason why it shouldn't be base game content
is the landscape and biome stuff dlc only too?

>>715385379
Took me longer than it should have to realize that you can change the colors of your robos.

>>715384654 (OP)
Not playing until Allow Tool and Pick up and Haul are updated.

>>715385379
>trying to fit a small self sustaining base onto a starting grav-ship while also having enough room for mechs and making it look good
this shit is impossible.

>>715386313
>this shit is impossible.
my plan is just to make my machinist happy with his own small room everyone else can share a tiny barracks. my bots need that space for there chargers.

Is it better to do ironman when learning so I never let that crutch take root? Is early game interesting enough to repeat?

>>715386313
embrace the borg cube

>>715386526
>Is early game interesting enough to repeat?
early game is why you are going to start every game in a forest rush the mechlink and grow bots early pawns are useless and without a bot to play wall you will lose them to unlucky shots/plage/infection when i first started i liked the challenging starts tundra desert etc but it gets old fast.

>>715384654 (OP)
First grav colony died horribly bcs I underestimated how much time before the mechs would come, then everyone shit themself literally instead of packing everything onto the ship, and they got stabbed by scythers while having shit related mental breakdowns

I'm having fun! with 200 mods
Haven't made a ship yet

>>715386228
There are versions out right now

>>715384654 (OP)
I'm waiting for mod updates and for me to have the energy to assemble a modlist.

i tried making a ship with the monolith content but one you cant build ship flooring under it so you have to leave it behind all the time and two there is just no space for containment rooms. maybe late late game when your ship is huge but early/mid no way.

I haven't touched this game in about 5 years, is it all just endgame killboxes still?

>>715386228
Allow Tool and Pick up and Haul are updated.

>>715385336
Ugh.. We do NOT talk about the cannibalistic feminist base.

>>715389112
Hasn't been for a long time

>>715387448
>I'm having fun! with 200 mods

Jesus Christ.. Teach me how to have 100 mods and not get a crash every time I try to load a safe.

>>715390002
Not him but you should get something like RimPy and take your mod sorting seriously.

I managed to kill animal and they all killed themselves trying to eat it before I could get it cooked. I shouldn't be in charge.

>>715390359
>I managed to kill animal and they all killed themselves trying to eat it before I could get it cooked. I shouldn't be in charge.
pawns n this game are just retarded, be me land in the new scarlands traders come i buy shit and on there way out they walk one by one into a room with turrets and die.

>>715386526
You'll only learn the early game if you do ironman. To learn from your mistakes, you need the freedom to make them. If you want to roll with the punches, just self-enforce it and only reload if you lose your entire colony.

>>715390359
Kind of dumb how where the ship lands at first is pure RNG. I was lucky and got forest areas, but another anon said he got stranded in the icesheets.

>>715384654 (OP)
>Begone with the in-game ads and I will think about playing your paid update

>>715390710
In game ads?

How do you guys defend your base from sappers? I have a killbox up front (they ignore it) and then a double wall for my entire base and I just pile up pawns to kill the dudes when they break through the first wall.

So, the only way to get more ship plates is to get into outer space?

>>715390873
Turrets here and there on base, sometimes little pillboxes
Just don't make it too hard to reach parts of your base and stay frosty :^)

Integrate SS2 and so much more space content?

There aren't any, he's just schizophrenic.

>>715390002
I use just RimSort and hope the game doesn't shit itself.
>>715390168
RimPy is outdated iirc

>>715392636
>outdated
RimPy works fine, the dev just isn't maintaining it and people got upset that it's closed-source.

>>715391767
da chode

>>715390850
He posts this in every thread because he is upset that there is a notification that there is new DLC in the menu.

>>715390850
Shill

>>715385186
Haven't played Rimworld in a long time. They removed alphabeavers?

>>715394809
Oh, I guess I don't consider the menu as in game
I kinda get it, but I like rimworld enough that I don't mind the game letting me know there's a new dlc

>>715384654 (OP)
I didn't realize genetic rim got remaid. I'm not happy with myself for not play it for like two years.

>>715389112
In my experience raids just stop showing up late game.

>>715384654 (OP)
its not much, but its an honest list

>>715384654 (OP)
>How many mods does your jank modlist have right now?
2. Harmony and Character Editor.

is this game fine with 0 mods? i bought it with the biotech dlc when it was on sale, dont really wanna buy any of the other dlcs though unless i know that i like the game

>>715397294
Yes. It's better with mods though.

>>715395102
no

>>715391767
Looks like an amogus.

Does that unsettle you? Do you want to unmake the ship now? :D

>>715398245
No. I have intentions on increasing the wings for cabin space and a galley, but I don't have enough resources yet.

Does Anomaly have any significant interaction or dependencies for the rest of the game if I don't care about doing the stuff in that DLC? I don't have it but am tempted to get Odyssey.

>>715399740
nope, people were mentioning it in another thread but it is the tightest scope of the DLCs and really only affects its own scenario storyline stuff.

>>715399870
Thanks. That was what I was sort of hearing as well but wasn't sure.

>>715399870
It does look like Biotech is encouraged if the DLC pack sales suggest to me there is some synergy between the DLC. Has that born true for anyone with both DLC?

I'll get it in a month or two when all my mods update.

>>715400074
nope, anomaly adds an entire alternate tech tree sort of thing to avoid anything else

>>715393453
i launched rimpy and im pretty sure the error it three was because it tried to look the dlc up on the workshop and failed
might need to update it or something idk but i lol'd when it happened

>>715400074
Biotech was a pretty significant addition to the core game mechanics so that is probably why it is recommended. Pretty sure most people bought Biotech for that exact reason. Anomaly was the odd one out since its scope and mechanics was so hyper focused.

>>715384654 (OP)
Any idea how the new tiles work? What benefits are there to starting on a hot spring, for example?

>>715391428
>rimworld
>unmodded

>>715398167
ok

my third attempt at a ship.....

this game fun? do i need to download mods? or the DLC add cool stuff or vanilla enough?

>>715391767
why is it that 90% of the ships people make are always penis shaped

>>715401501
If you keep seeing penises in everything then the problem is you.

Is this poorly coded game worth $200 to get all the DLCs?

>>715401501
Unironically most ships turn out like that because it's the most efficient shape to boldly go where no man has gone before.

>>715401857
maybe

>>715401857
kind of

>>715401462
>do i need to download mods?
You don't but when you do it's down the rabbit hole

>>715401462
Start off vanilla then add QoL mods you feel you need. Then start adding stuff like more creatures/weapons before adding mechanic mods.

>>715401501
Colonists are stored in the balls.

>>715384654 (OP)
>more bloat
yawn

i have not seen a single post saying if it was good or not, impressive

>>715401857
No. It's got a lot of functionality that should have been fixed eons ago but idk that's life. I think it's worth a sale price and a pirate for the DLC.

>>715402949
It's been out for like 24 hours dude.

>>715402948
>bloat
They added multi-threading. The game is significantly faster, even with all the DLCs, 100s of mods, and 100s of pawns.

>>715403082
is it faster with none of the DLCs?

>>715403082
that has nothing to do with the content of the expansion.

>>715402949
It's good, on par with Biotech. You would know this if you were in any of the previous threads, because it has been mentioned a lot.

>>715403120
Yes

>>715402949
Biotech > Odyssey > Ideology > Anomaly > Royalty

>>715390873
Mortar batteries are pretty legit once raid volumes go up.

8 odd mortars fired simultaneously at the enemy "idle while the others do work" point is good.
Mortars tend to shred legs, which means hits that don't result in casualties tend to do heavy movespeed buffs, which are then compounded with the increasing blood loss. This stops them from arriving with the bulk of the enemy force, if they don't down/die on the way, and that makes a large force much more managable.

I feel mortars are pretty underrated in general for this reason, spreading the enemy out is a huge boon.

Also unless it was patched the deadlife anomaly thing is retarded OP with setup. You can turn like 50 corpses into shamblers per burst, so if stockpile deadly animals you can just create an army at will, and the corpses can be recycled (decay speed after shamblerisation is massively increased but I think it resets each time so as long as you don't leave them outside for 4 days in the rain it should be fine).

Even just a few bear/thrumbo corpses in each cardinal direction can give you a massively effective vanguard, a fully loaded central stockpile can handle a raid by itself..

>>715390873
I take my pawns to the front lines and micromanage their attacks.

>le nomad ship
This doesn't really work with the self-insert harem lord and his fiefdom thing I have going on.

This is exceedingly common in vidya post 2010. Read the book

>>715401501
>t.

>>715403380
>I feel mortars are pretty underrated in general for this reason, spreading the enemy out is a huge boon.

Mortar batteries are almost necessary for non-mountain bases since they're the easiest way to deal with sieges which can easily end a colony if you aren't prepared for one

>>715404968
It's got a 4.46 star rating with 450 reviews on Goodreads if that tells you anything.

>>715403135
It has everything to do with the content of the expansion.

I've tried about 50 non-QOL mods and have only found maybe 2 that are decent. I have bad hygiene and hospitality, and arguably combat extended. I've tried the magic one, a bunch of medieval stuff, a bunch of the random vanilla expanded stuff, and some more things. Everything is either too small/meaningless, doesn't fulfill any purpose beyond adding more fluff, or just generally bad.

What are some actually good non-QOL mods? Something that fixes wealth/raids would be great, and I know there are like 10 individual mods that all change it in different ways but none of them are like a "just drop this in and now the game is fun without killboxes". You need a combination of 4 specific mods and then you have to spend 2 hours tweaking all the settings to get something that actually works well. I just want to click one button and have the game be better.

>>715405739
the improved performance was a game update, not part of the DLC. retard.

So we all agree the next DLC has to target factions, right?

>>715405528
No? Just build your own drop pods and launch your cracked team of comando jumpjets/snipers/psykers/melee god etc and kill off all the mortar crew and it turns into a regular raid with a shit ton of extra mortars and shells for you to sell.

I love rimworld but there's not enough content for a pre-industrial playtrough, even if you use mods to lock the entire world to low tech levels

>>715384654 (OP)
>120bucks for a DLC

i will wait

i paid 60 bucks for the GAME im not paying twice that for a dlc

>>715390850
yeah every now and then your colonists will become depressed unless you build a Pepsi Cola TM machine so they can drink their Pepsi Cola TM soda cans

>>715405859
There aren't any good faction mods to copy yet, though.

>>715406570
what in the fuck, what shithole is having you pay 120 for it's DLC?

>>715405751
Problem is with the new update there's going to be a lot of mods that aren't ready for 1.6, so just keep that in mind.
This is a collection I've had some fun using, maybe you'll find something you like too, it's focused on making the game much more difficult by making combat more deadly and raiders more smart.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3067518137
I've also seen some interesting concepts lately like:
>IQ Expanded
>Death Rattle
>Prisoner Exchange
>Grudges
>Rim Languages
>Bad People
>Sometimes Raids Go Wrong
>I will be back
>Melee Weapons: Speed and Damage
>Better Pyromania
>One with Death
>A mod that basically adds Cyberpsychosis
>Compressed Raid

man playing vanilla again after so long feels odd as hell
to think so many mechanics and tweaks were actually from mods

>>715395102
nah they in, had some pop up today

>Still no pit gate nerf
I swear the monsters that come emerges from the hole are twice or triple the numbers of a normal raid.

Hmm, makes sense.
I'll equip more of them, in my next base.

>>715405851
The update was a part of the DLC. retard.

>>715411854
and you don't need to buy the DLC to get the update. retard.

You niggers and brownoids and kikes are complaining about DLC pricing when I have not paid Tynan a single dime for his DLCs and I have it all on my game anyway.

You can copy paste the DLC file to your main game folder and edit the directory.

>>715384654 (OP)
That battle didn't go too well for the Society of Sam. Meh. I was running out of colony room anyway. This was just a practice colony! I'll just do one lone survivor on a floating ice sheet with ice dunes and fish for everything next.

Also I don't know what the fuck happened when I sent my shuttle to another faction with a research request, got some sort of message saying the ship was too heavy and I failed and ruined everything? If my ship was too heavy it would not have even made it there? I only sent one guy and 50 meals.

>>715387448
How the hell do you have 200 mods running on 1.6 already?

>>715412063
Some mods that aren't rated for 1.5 can still run for 1.6

>Two pigman somehow manage to stole my thruster and grav engine
Nice storytelling Tynan, they ran at same pace as my pawns while carrying big ass engine.

>>715412186
thats what you get for playing with minify everything retard

>>715412215
They can steal non minifiable shit
They have stolen my multi analyzer and biofuel refinery before

>>715384654 (OP)
is there a mod that gives other colony members their own will like cooking even though there is no bill, or go hunting on their own without I give them order?
I want to play as a single colony member.

>>715412494
Just set up automatic bills once per colony? Do until X exists

I was trying mechanitor and was excited to see a raid happen so I could try out my little shotgun drone
then I realized the drone was in the charger and I couldn't get it out because all controls were disabled from the mechanitor suffering dark visions, can't even draft the worker drones to swarm the raider
Rip, the only other people in the colony are 2 ten year olds one of which is bedridden

>>715412668
there are still lots of thing you have to micro manage even after making custom bills.

>>715412976
Had a moment of hope from the man in black but then I fucked up thinking I had already ordered him to move but then it turned out he was waiting on map edge so the raider got away with my mechanitor
rip

>>715412032
not sure if you are underaged or just retarded, but shift + windows + s is how you screenshot

>>715402949
I have not seen a single posts saying it was a single post saying it there were supposed to be the same singular free expressions of monobreast culture. Too many titties come in pairs. why doesn't anyone say it?

>>715413209
I don't use windows. I got this steamdeck thinger running on a linux computer and anyway because it's not an actual steamdeck the screenshot command doesn't work and I don't care enough about the issue to solve it.

anyway it's a retard-reverso. You're the dumb one for using windows go become a real gamer.

>>715413209

>>715411896
It doesn't matter, it still a part of the DLC zoom zoom.

>>715415425
I'm guessing you are an actual child?

>>715416025
i'm old enough to be your dad, kid.

>>715416079
Then why are you so fucking retarded?

>>715416582
explain how a free update to base game is part of the DLC content?

I never really played much outside vanilla
I was originally going to do a thing where I win each expansion by itself before adding the next one but after I won vanilla I said fuck it and enabled everything
It's vaguely amusing seeing different things happen and trying to deduce what expansion they're from
My first good base went to shit because a giant orb showed up and I thought I could just shoot it to death
Actually, question: Without activating the monolith, can you still get any threat? Or are they tiered, such that if you want to get random events of anything scary you have to either fuck with the monolith or go with ambient horror?

>>715416861
theres a scenario setting but by default without activating the monolith you only get a weak moodlet telling you to activate the monolith

>>715416945
Man
Maybe I should just disable it or go with ambient horror then
I've heard that anomaly kinda railroads you into playing SCP Simulator, and doesn't integrate as neatly as, say, biotech or the ideology stuff

>>715417074
even if you fire up the monolith theres only a few events that really force you to interact specially. most of the anomaly raids are pretty easy kills. some of the big monsters require some tactics but otherwise not particularly invasive.

Something I haven't been able to figure out - is the "crafting" job all stuff with no skill factor? It'd be nice to be able to have any old retard craft stone blocks but I don't want them inadvertantly turning rare resources into poor quality goods

>>715401857
Yes it is worth it, ignore Anomaly

>>715393453
It does work, but RimSort has the same features, and then some. For example, it can access Mlie's No Version Warning and Use This Instead databases, which seriously helps with making mod lists.

>>715415575
You only cut your dick off one and then it's free tranny gibs forever

>>715419310

>Spent way too long randomizing colonists for what I want
>Spent way to long looking for a great spot

>Forgot to enable ambient horrors Anomaly playstyle

Yesterday I tried to combine the mechanitor and gravship starts but couldn't get it to work quite right because even if you turned on the pursing mechanoids thing that was added it still didn't start you in the orbital place like the default one does
I just figured out that there is a thing specified in the gravship scenario start, you just can't add it to other scenarios for some reason, so I should be able to hopefullly edit that to work
weird oversight

>>715419561
It's best on ambient. And chronophagy is too good.

>>715400317
Anomaly would make the space locations more interesting if they considered the potential there. Space horror etc...

>>715419365
Yeah, use lake the for an aesthetic Venice like city, and the water will help slow down invaders. just make sure the bridges are well guarded with fortified gatehouses, and of course learn fishing.

>>715421557
There could have been an Anomaly X Odyssey event based on Event Horizon but Tynan is a hack.

Royalty with Vanilla Psycasts Expanded is S tier thoughever. I looooove having a couple of actually cool and useful psycasters. No idea what Tynan was thinking making the vanilla psycasts shit like "temporary torch" and "move some chunks a few tiles"

>>715424595
There literally are already for the research and fab benches, google it

>>715385186
I do not mind the increase of unprompted bea/v/er posting lately.

>>715419561
Me too. Got the ending for it when it first released and it was one of my most memorable colonies. It is genuinely fun making an SCP lab with turrets pointed at your holding platforms. The clone monument was OP as shit too, most of my colonists were clones of the same crazy strong guy.

>>715428290
that reminds me, i love creepjoiners. that perfect-heal-but-maybe-tentacles power is so fucking broken.

Help me decide what the ideal cat girl genetics would be.

I just learnt rimworld has a console version that only has ideology and royalty
sounds painful to play and you'd be pissed about being abandoned too

>>715406819
I like the Vanilla Expanded factions. The romans in particular have some cool concepts that could be polished for vanilla: road-building, proactive quests to earn permanent buffs, outposts that automate some resources for you/provide a safe rest spot for caravans/let you set and forget your less desirable colonists

>>715428347
Yes! I have one in my current colony who can turn biological creatures into twisted flesh to instakill them and it has singlehandedly saved the day about a half dozen times already. Only downside is he keeps giving my other guys moodlets because he mutters to himself and creeps them out, but we still love him. He even managed to get together with my vampire chick.

>>715423575
Giant dining room but microscopic hospital is certainly an odd choice, unless you're planing to turn that into a throne room or something I guess. Vanilla storage rooms terrify me, they waste so much space

>>715417674
In vanilla yes. Fortunately you can edit the crafting bill and there's a slider to restrict it to colonists of a minimum skill level.

I made it to the mid-game and am now able to make my own components from steel. I am now bottlenecked by plasteel and gold. Is the strategy from now on just calling in trading caravans for -15 goodwill, gifting them whatever to get it back then continue trading for the shit I need? Soft drugs like psychite, smokeleaf and beer aren't as lucrative as I thought for the time invested.

So I learned that you can use those weird space tees that spawned on those asteroids sometimes, the outlaw bases have rooms with carpet floors on them.

Once you clear them out its essentially the perfect base. More rooms than you could ever possibly need.

I'm going to turn this giant base That's surrounded by 7500 health reinforced walls. Into my main base for mech production when I'm traveling the world.

Thank god the Combat extended dev branch updated for 1.6. 4djwk

My favorite thing to do in this game is make my colonists unique bedrooms. Something about the excess in both space and wealth is a satisfying reward for the ones that survived.

Are there many mods that are incompatible with the pirated version? Base game with the dlcs are way too expensive for me.

No.
>>715435451
It runs hell of a lot better. I have dev mode on and run at 4x though.

Thank god for Anthrosonae.

>>715437001
What is that mod about?

>>715437296
It adds xenotypes of various furfag species, and they're completely cosmetic and are exactly like baseliners, so xenotypes like the Yttakin will still fill a gameplay role and wont become obsolete. NPCs that spawn have a chance to be an anthro.

>>715437605
I see.
So should I get rid of the anthro species mod?

>>715435318
>>Get snake mod to self insert

>>715437752
You decide.
>Anthrosonae
+100% vanilla friendly
+ Doesn't add items, factions, or mechanics
>anthro species (I'm assuming you're talking about the r-mk)
+ Many more species to choose from
+- brings a new modded faction, they're just a normal faction
+- stats are different than baseliners
- Won't spawn naturally outside of faction encounter (unless you use faction blender)
+ Has skullheads

>>715384654 (OP)
The DLC for this is just such a lot of money. I played the game vanilla, never touched any of the expansions.
I thought to myself it would be pretty cool to buy all of them to make it feel impactful, but the fuckers are just so much all up.

Which one should I get the most?

>>715438472
I'll just use the faction blender, then.
I feel the anthro races/anthro genes has more usage due to variety.

>>715401857
dunno, pirate them and see for yourself, you can use the workshop even on a pirated copy so you're not missing much

>>715438675
Ideology, Biotech, and Odyssey fundamentally change gameplay and are my favorites.

Royalty and Anomaly are side content.

It is very easy to pirate DLC if you are in a financially unstable place. I bought the DLC over time as they were released, but I can see someone new or newer being overwhelmed.

>>715384654 (OP)
Ah fuck.
Time to back up my 1.5 installation, update the game, and see which mods will never get an update.

>>715438675
Just grab biotech, maybe Ideology too. These add a fuckton of fun mechanics like raising families and executing prisoners publicly.

are plinking these faggot mechanoids from outside their aggro range with a sniper rifle really the only safe way of dealing with them?

They do mortar back sometimes, so there's that.

>>715439843

any problems with installing workshop mods due to that?
I might actually pay for the base game if so
It's kinda annoying to download all the mods off site with a full pirated copy

Tynan became a sellout and made a deal with Coca-Cola to add their products into the game

>>715443336
Not that anon but I have the base game on gog, pirated all of the dlcs, and use rimsort (used to use rimpy) with steamcmd to download workshop mods directly from the steam servers.
It just works.

Full fucking retard just look at this poor dude/ette, its still following its BIOLOGICAL FUNCTION IN ITS VERY FUCKING EXISTENCE. Building a "dam" like dude what the fuck look its even got some dumb ass kiddy pool.


Why the fuck is this little guy not living in the backyard with his own pond&stream. With his own little wooden den home and allow to build a dam in the stream connected to the stream. Taking apart the damn when its fully finished, so the little guy can be even happier to create a new even bigger&better damn.

WHY
W H Y
WWWWWHHHHHYYYYYY
W W W W W H H H H H H Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y
why is he not in the backyard this is not cute its fucking sad and cruel as all hell. His feet are not meant to be walking on flat shitty linoleum floors, they're meant for soil&water.
He's building a "dam" on a kitchen floor from scrap fire wood man. This is bleak and depressing as fuck what the fuck is wrong with boomers&karens.
Like who goes yeah lets get a wild animal and force it to live a modern human life. INTO THE WAGECAGE BEAVER WALK ON THAT SHITTY FLOORING GET THOSE FEET SORE BUILD THAT SHITTY DAM THEN ILL TAKE IT APART FOR YOU TO BUILD ALL OVER AGAIN A DOZEN PLUS TIMES A DAY SEVEN DAYS A WEEK FROM DAY LIGHT TOO NIGHTFALL. WAGEY WAGEY GET IN THE CAGEY MOTHER NATURE IS GONNA GAVE A CUNTY MELTDOWNIZYS.

I FUCKING HATE BOOMERS KARENS AND ALL OTHER FUCKING GOD DAMN WHITE NIGGER KIKE WORSHIPERS THIS IS A BEAVER FOR FUCK SAKES HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU DO THIS TO A WILD ANIMAL CLAIMING ITS CUTE YOUR SAVING IT YOUR CIVILIZING THE SPECIES

ANYWAYS

MULTICORE/THREADING FOR CPU'S OH SHIT /v/ROS ITS HABBENING RIMWORLD HAS ENTERED THE 2010's PROGRAMMING WISE. Kek who am I kidding no one does this shit its too much effort/unreal engine doesn't allow it.
The future of modding is gonna be pretty sweet because of this update, everything is finally able to be much smarter with way way more depth.

I do wonder tho what will the next DLC be like,where the hell is rimworld going clearly he cant keep pumping out DLC after DLC. There will be an ending what would be the top 3-5 most important things to add to the game backend wise.You know other than GIVE US LE 255 LAYERS below ground and another 255 above ground MORE Z LAYERS MOAR WHY ISNT RIMWORLD LIKE DUAORF FOTRUST!

I rarely let them join as well but once in a while you can get great pawn.

Trying to keep it as small as possible.

I gotta say, I am struggling with mood management. Not having a massive base where I get a giant bonus from the space + beautiful dining/rec areas does make it a little more difficult.

>>715451791
>>715451927

>>715451797

I have one in my current run, unnatural healing. Literally re growing limbs left and right.
Also had the devil join for a bit before he fucked off, and that one helped as well, he had 18+ in all stats. And since I care little about them as they will leave eventually (can recapture some) I can also throw them away in a battle reducing the difficulty of the next few events.

>>715448343

Have you never seen a boomers Mcmansion®™© kitchen? thats honestly a small amount of random kitchen shit.

There is a single cage, with no proper flooring or cover and a shitty kiddy pool. DO YOU know how WILD animal rehab centers work? They dont keep animals indoors like that, its terrible for their feet which fuck up rather quickly.

Funny how I bring up shartytroons and magically I get 2 dozen (you)'s within 60 seconds.

Anyways ignore my mental breakdown over legit animal abuse my hatred to boomers and my spiritual devotion to 4chan's /out/&/pol/&/an/ and just over all patrion saint/spirit animal DR uncle Ted "death to leftist" kaczynski.

Rimworld thread, even in game most retards know to treat animals with love&respect. Even if they eat all your food when you dont want them too.

>"rescue group"(because American state laws are fucking retarded and uneducated retards can somehow get permits and even (((funding))) ((which is a taxwrite off for a "noble act" completely legit charity act))
>Upset they are force to fucking release an animal that was perfectly health into the wild
OH would you look at that, these retards are the ones that fucked the beaver up. Because it was a baby ALL ALONE WITH NO OTHER ANIMALS TO SOCIALIZE WITH. Yes wild life shelters do this all the time, its perfectly ok to do this, surrogate mothers? using another species for the job! thats retarded!!!! .
It causes no issues towards the animal,it doesnt make them socially retarded. I'm sure these people taught this poor creature how to act like a beaver .
They're totally not hoarders who also wish to hoard animals.
Its not like shelters tend to specialize in animals,or have an older animal thats the same species but cant be released back into the wild because it has legit health issues. So at least the little dudes are not alone.

Protip in America any fucking retard is able to be a """"""rescue"""""" group for animals fucking god forbid even legit wild life rehad/nature reserve with a permit(not a single fucking vet/tech/biologist in sight,contacted or even consulted). Even worse some states you dont even need permits to own "exotic" pets like a bear or tiger any retard can have one in their backyard stuck in a tiny cage abused to fuck. They can even breed&sell them.


KYS these people are evil and fucked this animal up for likes&money. They care not for nature or even to nurture wild animals back to health. This are vile vile evil pure fucking evil karens&roasties, the same retards that claim shitpuls can be tamed and genetics plays no part into the dogs being violent inbred psychopathic creatures that will tear its owners throat off at the sound of a dime let alone a child(they also hold said views on coloured """"people""""" claiming genetics are a myth)

>>715432601
combat extended is a bloat mod that does more harm than good

>>715457197
No one asked

>>715457789
yeah no one asked for such a dogshit mod to be made

CE is a disaster. Almost every mod in existence is incompatible with it unless there is a patch, and all it does it make the game significantly easier with bloat out the ass.

>>715458087
did you go to cryptosleep in 2019?

Does any of the DLC centent clash with eachother?

I left all of them on.
But I'm wondering if that monolith in the backyard is safe to ignore until I'm prepared to face it.

>>715458335
Anomaly isn't worth playing unless you plan to devote the entire run to it tbqh

>>715458815
That's not true at all.
Ambient horror mode works pretty well

>>715458087
I don't get it.
Is this a meme?

>>715458985
no, but CE is

>>715458943
I picked the regular monolith start.
Can it not incorporate it into a playthrough where I eventually go to space and travel around?

>>715448343
>>everyone says randy is the best and most fun
it is every other story teller will kill you randy at least will only kill you by accident.

>>715459509
>Can it not incorporate it into a playthrough where I eventually go to space and travel around?
containment takes a lot of space and ships are pretty small i only have the one prison at the moment.

>>715459509
With monolith start you either have mostly Anomaly events or you don't touch monolith and don't get them at all
Ambient horror makes all anomaly events on par with normal ones and yes you can get them when travelling or in space

What's the right way to install mods? Workshop?

>>715459649
But cant you finish the monolith questline/research an THEN go travel?

I'm playing tribal so it will take ages to get to space travel anyway.

>>715459731

>>715459835
>But cant you finish the monolith questline/research an THEN go travel?
sure but by then the game will be trivialized as you have the fully upgraded ghouls and a Fleshmass nucleus to bring on the ship with you.

Colony is doing pretty good, first time embarking on mountain and very fucking cold biome ( lake available to fish for a few days during the summer at most)

Problem is that every one of my pawn is female, and even amongst raiders i've seen like 10% male and they all suck/unwavering

My plan was to raise a bunch of solid soldier pawn and abandon the mountain for an asteroid base but i can't without at least a few dude to get the growth vats going

Haven't played Rimworld since they added all these DLCs.
Should I get them all? Because that's like $100. Real Sims vibes.

Anons I'm testing things out using developer mode but I don't see the option to spawn autobong anywhere. I'm a little late to the party but I got this weird idea where I can just weaponize the autobong but again I don't see the option to spawn one and I couldn't build one because we don't have that high life precept or whatever it's called

>>715460860
DLCs are definitely worth it (at least as a basis for mods) but if you're not so sure and don't have the extra money, just pirate them

>>715460860
Faggot, just pirate the DLC.

>>715459732
I second this, people talk about installing hundreds of mods but I only see like a dozen even worth downloading and 8 of those are just QoL stuff.

>>715460860
I'm not sure because I bought all the DLC but I heard someone say there's no DRM protection and you can literally just download the folders and paste them into the DLC directory.

>>715385336
>posts azazel goat head
What did he mean by this?

>>715461679
The only DRM protection DLCs have is an appid line in a text file that you can just erase and it will start working, you don't even need creamapi

How long does it actually take to learn to play this game? I've never played the genre because it seems like it's got such a high learning curve that I wouldn't be having fun for a long time

>>715451797
You're just getting unlucky.

You can get a deadlife duster that can raise a shambler army.
You can get a transmutant that can convert steel statues into gold statues at a reasonable chance on a low CD (can't disassemble/cancel bill for x10 gains but still broken as shit). Even if you don't get gold you can get Plasteel a lot of the time, or Uranium if you're into that sort of thing..
You can get a walking heal serum dispenser witha relatively low chance of turning arms into tentacles, which can then be amputated and healed back into arms.
You can get a walking moodlet.
You can get a perfect pawn.
You can get an anomaly research speedrunner.

Some, like the rezmaster, are fairly eh, but some of these are utterly gamebreaking.

They come with downsides. For the most part these downsides can be negated with one simple cautionary etc.

One pawn with a shitty weapon.
One pawn with a shock lance.

The pawn with the shitty (ranged) weapon attacks the creepjoiner.
More like than not he's going to go apeshit - shock lance, imprison, convert as normal - traitor is a one time trigger and any traitor will proc on any instance of friendly fire (although "moving on" may be another additional one time trigger which may require additional shocking and a level of serendipity).

Ranged weapon because he's liable to be hosting a metalhorror so letting him bash you is risky.

>>715460991
You could use dev mode to give yourself High Life and Microeletronics then turn on god mode to spawn them. If High Life messes with your ideology you can forcibly disable precepts in dev mode that are normally a requirement.

>>715406283
I’d like to see the next DLC rework early game. Everything we had has been great for mid and late game, or a completely alternative game (anomaly), but early game feels samey between every run right now.

>>715452103
unnatural healing is a godsend. one of my colonist's babies had infant sickness and unnatural healing helped save that kid and ended up with a very good pawn when he grew up

>>715462396
If you set the difficulty low then you can play fine and familiarise yourself with the mechanics while laughable threats come your way. Most of the knowledge you need is relatively intuitive - a wall around your base is probably a good thing. Place caravan hitching spots near the goods stockpile.

The bread and butter isn't that hard at all. Build rooms, secure food, grow base.

>>715462396
Learning curve is basically non-existent
Game is very easy to understand if you just stop for a second to think about what you might need and read the descriptions of the buildings and items
I'm not sure how it is these days though, I started playing when it was just tower defence without any other mechanics

What is the goal if I don't want the whole space age thing?

>>715462396
Probably half an hour to learn the basic keybinds and how the quests, events and navigating the UI works.

>>715463061
Spaceship is not a goal, it's rather a new kind of gameplay and getting it is quite simple
But in general you set your own goal. There are endings but they're fucking boring

>>715462685
Early game is the only fun part though?
The game becomes boring as fuck when you're late game

>>715384654 (OP)
Just got back into rimworld, last time I played it was 3 years ago. I am doing a vanilla playthrough for now, no DLCs, just 2 QoL mods.

Are any of the DLC worth it? I know there was some drama a while ago that they are essentially just repacks of mods in the first place. Do I need them all or can I just do a 1 by 1 playthrough?

Also, any mods you guys recommend in general?

>>715384654 (OP)

>>715404968
No, it's basically:
>Games are an experience bro, what the player feels is what matters

>>715463307
What endings are there if I don't want space exploration thing?

>>715463507
Same.

>>715463437
Yes, DLCs are worth it
No, there's no drama. Just a bunch of morons whining for no reason. Although DLCs add many things from mods they do it much better, not to mention that the modders themselves were involved in the development of the DLCs
>>715463530
Build a ship (different kind) and fly away
Get enough royal reputation and fly away
Build three successful colonies and sell them for another ending
Explore anomalies for another ending
It's just not worth it and you should think about your
own goals

I just lost an entire 3+ year colony on permadeath and I'm really bummed out. I don't feel like the game threw anything unfair at me I just don't know what I should have done different. It was just neardenthals with knifes and clubs but they downed even my fully armored colonists super fast. StS difficulty. Why the hell are coolers 70% flammable?

>>715463839
>It's just not worth it and you should think about your
>own goals
What goals? Endlessly killing raiders?

>>715462396
Not long at all. The first few colony will suck but you'll get the hang of it quickly.Start on something easy ( temperate forest for example has all the ressources avalaible easily and simple weather).

The one thing i'd say is to be aware of components. Never a bad idea to stock up when a trader show up

>>715463839
are DLCs treated like must-haves or can I enjoy the game without them? I know paradox for example pretty much assumes you own all/most of the DLC and the game is broken without some.

>>715463330
I disagree. I’ve had so many late game colonies turn out completely different, but most of my early game runs are basically the same.

>>715464031
Make harem of monster girls
>>715464087
The only DLC that isn't must-have is Anomaly
It adds a bunch of different anomalies like zombies, different monsters and other shit that you can fight and research unlocking new stuff
I like it but it really falls behind other DLCs and a lot of people rightly consider the new threats to be too challenging
So ignore it unless you want invisible soul-eating monsters, exact copy of your colonist suddenly appearing or parasitic robots that gradually take over your colonists

>>715464087
I remember playing vanilla without any issues. Just use creamapi for DLC, anny.

>>715464550
I find late game super boring because it's completely trivial or the game sends a basically unstoppable force at you
Also having large colonies is boring because you always have redundancy in pawns so no individual pawn truly matters.

>>715464087
None of the DLCs are really mandatory.
Anomaly and Ideology are skippable
Royalty is meh
Odyssey and Biotech are great though

Good mods to decrease genemodding tedium ?

I'll just wait until the sex mods are working so I can start with a single max-statted empire lordling with his own personal ship terrorizing a primitive world on the rim for fun. Set the storyteller to baby mode and just have fun genociding whole villages and lifting off the choicest sex slaves

Are there good benefits for dealing with all this bullshit or is it just an endless headache?

>>715465274
Based space rapper.

>>715462396
I think the least intuitive thing is melee combat.

Natural instinct would suggest being able to stand far away from the enemy crowd is much superior to having to engage them directly. And this is compounded by the fact that in the early game this is definitely true, for the most part. You have no armor, no shield belt, and usually very little in the way of medical supplies for little scratches and tears. But the power of melee just grows and grows as the game progresses, meaning getting that natural instinct that comes with experience is much more difficult.
In another sense, knowing about choking doors and utilising the friendly fire safe zone is probably the most esoteric of the "standard" gameplay elements.

>>715384654 (OP)

>>715466183
My understanding is that you basically want 3 melee dudes with shields to bottleneck a door and then gunners behind them.

>>715465898
There's a setting that makes anomalies rare
And there's some useful stuff that can be made from anomalies

>>715384654 (OP)
I'm playing palworld anyways.

I'm always surprised when people don't like Ideology or think it's mediocre.

It's still the one system that impacts my playthroughs the most. I do concede however that mods are very helpful because the structures and styles of vanilla aren't all that numerous. I find myself using modded memes frequently.

Is there a way to make AI faction ideologies completely random? They all seem to reuse presets.

>>715466840
Ideology doesn't add much that I couldn't do by just roleplaying

>>715466662
In my experience you can bottleneck on 1 pawn but that put a shitload of pressure on him and heavily degrades his equipment. 3 man works better for me.

I'm interested in seeing how good/bad the beem grazer will be with phoenix armor melee blockers.

>>715462713
Yeah, I don't really get why so many people say that they turn off anomaly. Its a great DLC even if you don't focus on its questline or research.
I enjoy the extra events from shamblers to cultists, the books, occasional weapons from anomaly and the weird joiners are great. Right before I fucked up and died I had a deadlife dust joiner. He could just ressurect corpses on demand, pretty great.
Then I landed on an ice sheet with deep freeze and everyone froze to death before I could bail since the temps wend down to -70~at night.

>>715467716
it's too fantastical for my tastes.

>>715467789
You know what. That is a reasonable take on it.

>>715462396
The tutorial is actually pretty good for this game and will get you through the basics in about 30 minutes but one of the most important things to learn is setting manual priorities on your pawns. this will help you dictate what jobs your pawn will do so they don't waste time doing jobs they suck at. you can also set what hours your pawns will sleep, work, or play. Having pawns engage in recreation at the same time has a higher chance of socializing and mood buffs so I usually give them two hours in the morning before work.

never been a fan of juggling multi-map things, like sending half my colonists on a trip while the other stay. is the colony ship basically just "pick up the base and move it somewhere else" type stuff?

My autism is making it very hard to expand my ship, because I desperately want to cling to some amount of symmetry and for it to kinda look like it could actually fly.

>>715470414
>is the colony ship basically just "pick up the base and move it somewhere else" type stuff?
Yes

you were a good meat shield, my dear african american friend

>>715470414
Here's a typical ship >>715470430
Space is tight. You will be landing to exploit resources - plant rice, cut trees, mine ore, hunt animals, and then move somewhere else. Make a temp base outside, maybe for a prison or a dining room or w/e, and in 2 weeks pick it up.
Once you get enough guys, you will drop on top of savages to raid them probably.

How the fuck do i build an Orbital scanner? I have it researched, but i cant find where to build it

I am enjoying the gravship gameplay but I feel kind of aimless with it.

NPCs should use psycasts

>>715470756
what's stopping you from staying on the same map? resource scarcity or something else?

>>715470890
>I am enjoying the gravship gameplay but I feel kind of aimless with it.
Visit ruins/abandoned bases, explore them, fight the enemies there, do the hacking stuff. I like it.
The big issue is that its hard to have a big crew on the tight ship space, and you kind of need a big crew to keep raiding.

>>715471221
If you do the ship starting scenario, mechanoids are mad at you for stealing their shit, and they will find you and attack you if you stay in the same space too long. But honestly, you want to leave before they find you, just harvest everything you need and move on.
I rarely stay more than the time it takes for my slow crop to grow.

>>715471242
>Visit ruins/abandoned bases, explore them, fight the enemies there, do the hacking stuff. I like it.
Yeah, that bit is fun but I feel like my game ended very fast. Raiding space stations gets you so many good resources/tech so fast, so your wealth goes up fast, which leads into the problem you mentioned.
Removing most of the colony management aspects of the game by being nomadic means resource scarcity isn't a big problem anymore because you just pack up and move somewhere else with no consequences.

>>715471527
That as me curious. Do you just abandon your land base? Do the Mechanoids fuck with you constantly?

>>715471729
You don't get a land base until you can build a special thing that causes your ship to not explode the tile when you leave

Sorry friend, but if you consult the book it actually says that exploiting mechanics like wealth management is to be avoided at all costs. What that player should actually do is hoard useless baubles and die to max size raids, thus achieving peak storytelling.

Am I supposed to just let my starting tile get blown up when making my first gravship? Or is managing my home colony and the gravship too much micro to be worth it?

>>715476283
build the anchor if you want to keep the tile

>>715476442
Can this game handle two colonies at once though? Is it worth it?

>>715476638
Yes (to a point)
No

Is there any room for having a permanent settlement and just sending the gravship out on missions like a caravan? Or is it just about the nomad moveable base shit.

>>715451797
They can have great benefits. I recruited this one guy that gives everyone a mood buff just for existing. Just always give them a medical examination and never let them cook.

>>715475371
>Ships orbiting random bumfuck rimworlds scanning for the best native crafts that the (((merchants))) can acquire and sell back in the empire and sell for enough dosh to fund the ship expeditions in the first place
Plausible

>>715477161
You're better off using shuttle for this
Gravship has a three day cooldown between jumps, requires travelling for upgrades, anchor is pretty expensive and you can't even land on other factions bases, you have to land next to it and only then send a caravan from there and you get a penalty to relations because of this

>>715471242

there is a random event to just have one dropped on you, could trigger immediately or take a month for it to happen. either way you need power research, solar panels at minimum and the ability to produce chemfuel

>>715483701
Pawns can spawn with random items with 1.5
This includes drugs, books, weapons, skulls, etc.
You can see that during pawn creation it has to do with background of a pawn.

how do space station colonies work? do you still get raided?

>>715401857
it's alright

>>715484124
you get raided with droppods, which is actually worse because they can appear anywhere not just in the corners

Did they make the game more difficult. I'm doing the standard Tribal start Randy Strive to Survive and nearly lost when three pigskins invaded my base while my only melee guy had malaria. 4 pawns downed, and luckily didn't get any infections, but lost some fingers, an eye, and everyone is starving.

i like this dlc mechanically but it feels very shallow. you quickly start running into the exact same layouts of outposts, the ship upgrades are just "fly the ship a bit further" or "less likely to have shit break down on landing"
no space battles
most stuff on the planet is very boring once you see it once
new rare weapons barely change gameplay, shit like +15% accuracy -15% damage

>>715432601

not until you research hospital beds and vitals monitors.

>bloat mod
the only bloat comes from downloading 100000 other additional optional mods that might use it, CE itself is quite straightforward in its goal: it turns garbage vanilla combat and projectiles into actually being physics based and armor not being useless.
vanilla combat just rolls a dice-roll when a naked tribal shoots a bow and arrow at your full cataphract space marine, and it says "oh okay there was a 1/12 chance of hitting his head, ok thats a critical hit, now your brain and eyes are max damaged and you die" with armor being useless even with full coverage.

naked starving tribals bum rushing machine gun emplacements to beat space marines to death with clubs is a completely viable strategy in vanilla, it makes the game both too easy to cheese and unsatisfying if you don't

>>715448343

literally completely optional, you can have guns function like vanilla with infinite ammo and not needing to carry magazines if you want; the reason to use different ammo types is because they are actually impactful and the difference between armor-piercing ammo vs hollow points vs high explosive vs incendiary rounds actually does matter.

if you try taking down mechanoids with hollow points made for shredding naked tribals you're gonna have a bad fucking time and that's by design, if you don't want that just disable ammo and use the default FMJ against everything
