Spawn in, die of fire with wood base. Spawn in, die of primitive raids due to slow walling with stone base. Spawn in, die of fire due to pyromaniacs everywhere and steel still catches fire on steel base. Spawn in, die of bug invasions with cave base. Spawn in, die to infection after squirrels attack day 2. So many amazing and well crafted stories anon. 175 hrs played BTW

The game is designed for redditors to boast about being filtered. Even if you are skilled enough to not get filtered, it's still just an excel spreadsheet. Baby difficulty has you drop down naked and alone and build a farm, while the hardest difficulty has you drop down naked and alone and build a farm while the game throws bullshit at you to try (and fail) to kill you.

Updooted, xister!

the gravship is such an improvement, the game's support for multiple bases is trash so just taking all your stuff somewhere else is actually great. the ship is simultaneously too big and not being enough, there really ought to be a patch to not need a mod to make your ship any shape other than a box or circle though.

You have to be playing on 500% difficulty or something, even so I don't see how the early game is fucking you that bad. You're probably letting your wealth go out of control. Raid strength is dependent on your wealth so stop hoarding every fucking thing you see.

>>717796524
Skills are more important than traits. If you have double passions I consider you for recruitment. I have a pawn that hates drugs and a pawn with chemical interest and they hate each other but I don't care, they're both vital parts of the colony.

>>717796668
They're still a liability until you can send them into battle against more raiders, due to things like pyromaniac fires, social fights, etc.

>>717797030
Raiders use the same generation parameters that sets the candidates for the colonists you drop with, as well as all other joiners. They are not better or worse as a rule. You can just admit you never considered sifting raiders for recruitment.

>>717797167
No, I do recruit raiders. Around half of my colonists are recruited raiders. They just suck and are a constant liability.

>>717796978
Eh, with genemodding traits are more important than skills.

Nothing is gonna top tough/industrious, and no pawn with body purist is ever gonna be worth SHIT.

Only farm and build what you need earlygame. Once you unlock gun crafting, flak armor, and maybe turrets you don't have to care anymore.

>>717799525
Hyperbole. This never happened outside your head.

Rimworld's main issue is combat being RNG dogshit, which is why the ideal strategy is to avoid combat as much as possible with killboxes. That's why you need to download something like Vanilla Combat Reloaded so armor is actually useful.

>>717799724
>something like this happened, but

this is what hyperbole means. i do not think it is the own you think it is

Some of the programming in this game is so shit. I’ve seen pawns clean one spot, move to the other side of my base to clean one spot, then go all the way back to the other side of my base to clean one spot, instead of cleaning an area. So the pawn spends most of the time cleaning just running around

>>717799931
Yeah, Vanilla Combat Reloaded, it's just vanilla combat with some nice tweaks so pawns are more accurate and armor defends better. You might also want Pocket Sand for weapon switching and Melee Animations for quick takedowns in melee combat.

anon, if you're going to use a combat mod, just use CE. sure it's got a learning curve sure but rimworld is already autist kibble. just dive into it. or else stick with vanilla.
you'll regret going with some watered down version of CE when you could have the real thing.

you are hallucinating, on top of using words you do not even understand as if they were some jibe. just speak normally? why are you so butthurt about a funny pigger post
>>717800063
kinda. it's when you pen something for effect where the parts you exaggerate are recognizable. for example 99% of wealth being floors (when in reality, about 15% was in tainted gear and poor quality raider weapons, 20% was in smoothed walls, 5% was in colonists, and the remaining 60% was floors and furniture). in this case, you've got the right of it in terms of the numbers, but i think it might not be hyperbole because the guys saying it aren't using doing so for theatrical effect. well, i don't know for sure what their motives are but some at least genuinely believe it.

direct drop raids are halved raid points. subsequent raids will have access to a lower raid point budget. this raid sequence is potentially the easiest combination to deal with unless you built like a complete retard

>I dont get how they magically smell that food from inside your freezer a mile away howmstever
sometimes things happen in video games because they're good for the game experience. not everything needs deeper lore just to function as a game mechanic
its like that guy who wrote a whole dissertation about how heaters in space doesn't make sense because vacuum doesn't transfer heat and therefor we should have to build radiators instead. the devs just said
>in rimworld, space is cold

the problem with rimworld mods is that every mod is developed by itself without any thought into how it might play with other mods, so what you get is 50 tiny little mods that each do a very specific thing and none of them work well with each other
the good thing about the DLCs is that they're like 50 mods that are purposely made with each one knowing the other 49 will be there. I think he'll probably do it in the next 1 or 2 expansions

the gravship is just a bedroom/hospital for the away team and a few shelves for loot, there's no reason to build any more unless you're doing the scenario and there's barely a reason to make a gravship at all until resources don't matter anymore when shuttles exist

It's like tynan saw what people were talking about with dwarf fortress and skipped out the actual part where most fans were just hopefull that toadies autism plans for procedural storylines and plot hooks would pan out.

Of course he wouldn't even fix it if he wanted, he knows that the only thing keeping the game alive is that it's half broken and mods will be made to fix his retardation.

The biggest retardation is that the storyteller expects you to lose people constantly.
No really the code is fucking retarded you're meant to lose a pawn in each raid or it will actively keep ramping the no-fun meter

>>717802258

>>717802063
Nano structuring chips are free money by endgame because you can just do the quests where they dump toxic wastepacks on your land.

>>717801926
Yeah gravship is fun and all but there's no reason to go out of your way to expand it in a regular playthrough. You just need a bedroom, recroom, some storage and temperature management. Don't even need a killbox since the raids you'll get well be like 3 or 4 people.

It can't truly be a story generator until they give far far more depth to factions, maybe a bit more to interactions between people too but factions and other settlements are the big ones

>>717802508
ratkin?

the shit where 50 enemies can stack on a single spot is the main thing that makes the combat feel like bullshit and makes people resort to killboxing

>>717803157
redditors keep asking for this without using their brains. Asking for more faction / overworld interaction is asking for a different game altogether. The core game is designed to revolve around your colony, with the faction bases being bare-bones because they're meant to emphasize a much larger world that you're a small part of.

People romanticize the faction interactions so much but ask yourself how it will actually reflect on the gameplay. You "start a war against a faction?" OK, you get a different flavor of the same raids you were already fighting before. Ally with factions? Congrats you get different merchants. Factions fighting each other? This literally has nothing to do with you besides seeing dots change color on a map. Invade an enemy faction settlement? You go through all that effort and for what, to turn off raids and give less possible things that can happen to your base? Or maybe just no effect at all besides loot you probably don't need. It just doesn't affect /your/ colony enough. Thank god tynan and co aren't dumb enough to think this would make for good core expansion material

>>717803579

they really want you to play with the grav ship

>>717803527
just scatter some basic unpowered turrets around your map, wall them in if you dont have the resources to replace them yet. that takes care of the stacking issue

>>717803527
a killbox amplifies this behavior, it doesn't resolve it

>>717803646
Mechanitor gravship is interesting in how it forces you to work with a lot less room

>>717797167
They don't. They are more likely to have certain backgrounds, and therefore certain traits. Install that total control mod or whatever it's called to get a peek.

>>717803845
Not as much as you would think, for my 2000/2000 ship i put all the mech nodes and charging stations on it, one luxuary bedroom, and the rest storage shelves. My mech ship just bounces around from tile to tile and mines/loots everything then when its full i go back to the home base map to drop all the loot off and refuel then repeat.

>>717803619
kek its true. tynan's entire cope of the game being a "story generator" is rooted in his poorly designed procedural event generation system and lack of pre-generated history. unable to actually code deep systems, instead he gaslights the player into cognitive dissonance over why the empire doesn't give a shit their leader (who happens to be 3 of your colonists' brothers and 2 of their uncles) is slaving away making 55 kid parkas to fulfill Chucknfuck Union's caravan quest.
The game is just a tower defense, there is zero story being generated

>ai is too dumb
>lets solve it by throwing more at the player
>nooo you can't use a choke point and put most of your defense in it to defend against the raids, that is cheating and abusing the enemy ai
When it's 10 against 100 I'm not going to micromanage tactics to kill 50 every raid. Early to mid game it's fun to play like it's some dumbed down xcom, past that no thanks

>>717802258
That's not strictly true, the "fuck your shit up-o-meter" decreases to an extent as long as a pawn is downed. Not by as much as a death, but

Real metagaming probably involves letting your dudes bleed out where possible if circumstances allow. Hell you can even dedicate one of your own pawns to this and routinely have someone else shank him every time he stands up, the game doesn't check how it happened. Maybe wimp was the most OP trait all along...

>make vacsuits for everyone
>wealth explodes
I guess I will just die if I can't jump during a raid

>>717804732
Vacsuits don't lose functionality if they lose health but they do lose value
So you can have a bunch of tattered old vacsuits around for a quarter of the wealth
The biggest problem is the buildings, they are all super high wealth.

>>717799931

change their relationships so your the active husband on all of them? wanna really kick it up then have all the wives as each others wives and install the polyamorous beds mod for some room wide lovin.

>>717806732
ah well i guess ill give ce a try again when it updates
thanks

>>717795332
I'm still on 1.4.
I tried updating to 1.5 but the game had nonstop bugs even after rebuilding my modlist from scratch. Also Oskar is a fucking retarded cunt who wouldn't update the mod with sonic infestation repellars.
I want to update to 1.6 but my modlist works so good right now I'm afraid of the same shit happening with 1.5.

>>717807172
You got a mod manager? RimPy or RimSort should help you with saving your modlists or checking what's updated to 1.6.

>>717807172
I'd wait another month before coming to 1.6, a lot of mods are still either unupdated or kinda buggy since 1.6 changed a lot of internal stuff

>>717806805
>change their relationships so your the active husband on all of them?
had no idea that was a thing holy shit noice, time to start a rich traveler run again.

>>717807262
Yeah I use rimpy, I did a fresh install of the game and only downloaded the mods that were updated to 1.5 and I still got weird shit happening like a black game screen.
I didn't know you could save a list though, I'll try that if 1.6 turns out to be a cunt too. Thanks.

>that old mod that died with the passage of time that you loved so much
what was its name anon?
For me it was the tiberium mod that adds the GDI and NOD factions alongside tiberium, tiberium used to work like contamination that fucks the whole map if you don't have enough research or get a unlucky tib meteor on the first year.

>>717807319
I was having issues like that after 1.5, I tried updating right after anomaly came out with problems so I went back to 1.4. I tried again like 6 months later and was still getting the same issues so I just gave up and kept playing on 1.4.

what are some essential mods?

>>717804432
You can still use choke points and kill zones though.

>>717801414
That could be turned off in scenario options, however it should be on by default since if you read a book or watch a movie the main character is most often alive even in the end, and if he dies its not from a random headshot that just cuts the story.

winston waves would be a good start, the more races and weapon mods you add the more chaotic it gets.

>>717785017

both of those are the lowest on the list of things to kill you, either your not paying attention or are brand new so heres tips

you have no reason to not always have some healroot on hand. its only 8 skill to grow, you can find it wild on any map that is not desert, most/all traders have some

have bedrest top priority in the menus, allow self tend if you dont have a good doctor

make sure to have decent beds or med beds, yes that factors into immunity gain

dont camp in a fucking jungle if you cant handle it

I am dying to try out mods, but it takes forever to instal 5, let alone the 50 I want.

Would be cool to have a more nuanced stat on factions than just a love meter. Something like a fear meter to keep them from fucking with you as much sounds very much inline with how people already like to play. If they see the heads on spikes outside my walls they should probably think twice before sending raids, especially those caveman dipshits.

>>717818462

>>717818580
Alright

>>717784429 (OP)
The worst part about Rimworld is the pawns. They are too simple, they do not change, there is no character growth, they do not react to what happens in the colony. Imagine how much richer the game would be if, for example, pawns were given more autonomy and ways to express themselves.
>Food shortage
>We have to eat raiders to survive
>Some of the pawns are shocked and apalled by this beyond "-10: Ate Human Meat"
>Some even leave the colony, others argue and decide to jail the guy who butchered the raiders.
>The guy flees during a solar flare and comes back later, having joined the pirate faction now, saying that they will no longer stand for this
>We lose 2 people and the traitor gets killed in an epic standoff

Imagine how much better this game would be if every playthrough had stories like these.

>>717818462
>Ideology
100% roleplay content, can also use to cheat if you feel like it
>royalty
Shit, psycasting is neat for specific runs but again only really needed for roleplay
>biotech
Best DLC for actual gameplay changes (many new enemies, mechanics, equipment, etc)
>anomaly
Kinda shit, neat but not meant for 'most playthroughs' and if your not actively engaging with it its almost not there
>odyssey
Havent played with yet but looks best if you like space stuff, seems like it adds some new biomes and some other stuff, so it might still be OK if your doing an industrial/medieval playthrough

>>717818704
Another idea:
>We capture a raider for the colony
>After some time in the prison, he finally decides to join
>Instead of being an NPC pawn who will gleefuly die for a colony they raided 2 weeks prior
>He runs away during night
>Or sells you out for his brethren, and sabotages the colony when the raiders come
It always bothered my how raiders would magically turn over a new leaf just because you put them in jail for a bit. If a person is a pirate, and his livelihood consists of brutally murdering others for their equipment and food, they probably aren't a good person. It would make sense for them to do this, given that they are most likely a sociopath with no morals.

>>717818704
The game just lacks autonomy in general. The fact that it doesn't even simulate outside factions and just throw randomly generated enemies at you is such a major downside
90% of the game is like make your own fun/roleplaying and 10% is actually dynamic story telling from the game's side

>>717819018
Arguably, Tynan had to choose between making it a story generator or a videogame. He went with the middle option of somehow including 'both' which resulted in a pretty crappy system overall. He should have leaned 100% into the gameplay or storytelling side.

>>717815576
is there a mod that has a specified number of people per faction?
for example, friendly tribals have 120 people, and if you kill 120 of them, theyre wiped out?
