Thread 2063623

Already saw it will involve most likely a space faction of some kind.

Which mods will they rip off this time?!

>>2063677
save our ship, apparently

>>2063623 (OP)
>>2063677

Fuck man, i wish they'd rip off world edit and maybe faction customizer instead. Hell ripoff Rimwar and Rimempire too, something to let me build a real faction and actually make the faction map make a bit more sense instead of one base and trying to escape or ascend to godhood or someshit, honestly in-game not so bad living on the planet once you really get it up and running, on this planet you're basically a goddamn king.

>>2063623 (OP)
who cares the game is shallow garbage

>>2063710
Your niggers keep saying that shit every fucking DLC, kill yourselves

>>2063858
>You niggers
literally started playing this spring, fuck off

>>2063810
Establishing your own little colony, with your own rules and laws, welcoming in other potential survivors and creating a world where all spacenoids could be free would certainly be fun.

>>2063973
Refugees Welcome the DLC wouldn't go down well in the current political climate
also buy my book

>still no mods for an adventure mode
If only it was viable to have raiding caravan camp party which would stop only to apply upgrades that it robbed. I mean, Tynan always wanted to make a Jagged Alliance-like which is the reason he put so much effort into the combat part.

>>2063810
This.
Thousand of times this.
I'm tired of having to put 20+ different mods to make the planet itself something else than bunch of far-away trade partners that only exist to send terrible caravans and/or raiding parties. I'm always confused they never, over so many years, improved that one fucking part of the game, always adding bullshit options in their DLCs

>>2064750
don't you like le wacky and SPOOKY cthulu monsters???

>>2063623 (OP)
i wish they made bades on Islands in the middle of the ocean a actual thing, with it own challenges and dangers.
better trade and interaction with other factions, i want to open shops to sell stuff, taverns where people from distant places comes to stay for a time and pay for the bed.
make a nomand playthrough actually possible

They're just copying Factorio.
The gimmick will be that after you launch your ship you can move to another planet and do the same thing all over again except this planet has some OP resource that invalidates everything on your old base.

>>2064818
>i wish they made bades on Islands in the middle of the ocean a actual thing, with it own challenges and dangers.
It is fucking infuriating how many "base building" games just make sea and oceans a barrier instead of something interesting. The fucking game is about building something and you can't buy a fucking boat for fuck sake

its bad enough they made mm/dd/yyyy date formatting for the anouncment i legit thought we will wait 6 months.

Now where the fuck is it

>>2064876

DLC itself looks okay, but the 1.6 update looks amazing. A lot of good changes here

>>2065008
>>2063710 fucking called it lmao
also
>Performance improvements: A major part of update 1.6 is performance optimizations, especially for late game colonies that often struggle with performance. We reworked many systems to spread out their workload. The pathfinding system is now fully multithreaded and batched, and the lighting system is also multithreaded to make it much faster. There were lots of optimizations made to caravan foraging calculations, egg-laying pawns, alerts, hauling, animal pen calculations, as well as fixes to several major memory leaks.
we're eating good, and it's not canibalism for once

they fucking did it
they learned how to use more than one thread...

>>2065027
It only took, what, a mere decade?

>>2065036
it is archotechnology after all
took a while to research how to use it

They've gotten so brazen about just copying mods and selling them as dlcs, lmao.
Lowkey based, actually.

>>2063677
fpbp

flying ducks
holy shit

>>2065021
>>2063623 (OP)
Ok i will admit them 1.6 changes looks really good, nice QOL like the wall replacer mod integrated. And the nice little things like flyinf animals that looks great too.

Still though, i feel like a lot of what you could experience with Oddysey can be acquired with mods. Oh well.

Here's to hoping the next update is diplomacy and faction territory.

>>2063677
Looks like a lot of them.

sorry this is the board for video GAMES, not video intelligent story generators
looks like you'll have to delete your thread

>>2065027
Please understand, he was too busy writing a book on how to set up multithread support

>Colonists are more likely to feed kibble to downed animals. No more feeding lavish meals to sick iguanas!
>more likely

Why the fuck would you do this over simply adding a proper checklist of allowed food for animals?

I tried out the beta patch and it really does load a lot faster

>>2065376
How does it compare to all the performance mods its likely incompatible with until they are updated?

>>2063623 (OP)
will this game ever go on sale for more than like fifty cents off

>>2065441
NTA but the load time mods weren't very good, it's nothing compared to the 4.0x speed up the patch gives you.

>>2065451
I got mine on the always available 100% discount sale

>>2063623 (OP)
should i play this, or The Sims 2?

Anyone have mod recommendations to truly live out the AdMech fantasy?

For anons wanting to try the unstable version.

>>2065510
If you're a male (male) then probably rimworld.
But sims has Z levels.

DESU every single time I played SOS2 is was kind of clunky as shit, and combined with how resource and time intensive it was to build a space ship I basically never got anywhere in it, so I don't even mind them turning it into DLC.

>>2065669
I appreciate the dolphinporn

>>2065524
started a mechanicus playthrough this winter, here's my modlist
https://limewire.com/d/PUuEg#UABb8sSyH5

Seems the same as the one posted on cs rin so its ok probably

Bros I need help, I want to make a nerve staple mod but turns out implants can't have slave suppression in base XML, anyone got a link to any good tutorials of the other modding methods

>>2065812
Can you not do it through a hediff? Or at worst through a dll.

I mean nowadays even chatgpt can write this for you.

>>2065812
nerve staple mod already exists, 1.4 but works on current version
there's also one in alpha implants, insta enslavement and stuns the host if it tries to rebel

>>2065831
>Can you not do it through a hediff?
tried that (I think?) but slave suppression wouldn't apply
>Or at worst through a dll.
see that's why I need a tutorial or guide anon, no clue how to do that, I've been exclusively working with XML
>>2065834
the problem is most of them don't have the exact flavour I want, plus I wanted to have a go at modding

>>2065849
Dude you don't need a tutorial you need to turn on your brain. You have the option to look at core items such as slave strap or terror sculpture and copy and potentially increase their effects. (That won't help you with inevitable prison breaks and slave riots since they're handled separately in vanilla and you could add a negative multiplier for this implant for that incident.) You have the option to download one of the gorillion mods in similar intention and reverse engineer how they did it. You also have the option to check their forums for literal modding tutorials and they have a lot of those.
You instead decided to ask in this slow ass thread on this slow ass board.

>>2065703
It wasn't so bad until they get rid of the salvage bay and forced you to dissasemble the ship manually. It might have been more balanced but holy fuck was it tedious and time consuming.

>>2065812
>>2065849
Jecrell's guide is always a good start
https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=33219.0
not sure if it'll cover your needs but it does cover XML and C# linking so you might not need to throw out what you've got so far
>>2065857
>You have the option to download one of the gorillion mods in similar intention and reverse engineer how they did it.
the problem with that is that cracking open anything more complex than a basic XML mod is going to immediately confuse someone new to modding, another big problem is the wiki guides, the ones people will find first, are honestly quite bad, all over the place and incomplete

so anons what'll (You)r next run be?

>>2065868

Buy his book.

Got this game on Steam a few years ago and was filtered, then got a refund.
Got it again today, filtered again, requested another refund (only an hour of playtime on this second purchase), but Steam seems to count my additional hour of playtime cumulatively with the 2 hours I played years ago. So between the two purchases, my account has a total of 3 hours which they consider too much for their refund policy.
I challenged this, but it seems like I might be stuck with this game.

Tips for enjoying this game?
I'll probably only be running vanilla.

Install Character Editor
Create yourself,
or your family and friends if you're a normie
Play as sims on basebuilding difficulty
Or 500% if you're ok with having family murdered, die to exposure/diseases and/or kidnapped.
What exactly filtered you?

>>2071870
If you write to Steam and explain your situation, you might still get the refund

>>2071924
Yeah, they rejected my second refund request.
I'm assuming it's an automatic thing because they got back to me within 2 hours.
I'll try going through a different channel than the refund request form.

>>2071923
I don't want to admit it, but probably the learning curve.
And then it also seems like so much of the fun is in the DLCs, so the first time I bought it I was thinking "aw man, this is actually going to be a 100+ dollar investment if I want the full experience"
And also the art style.

Honestly I don't think it's my kind of game at all, but I've gotten memed into playing it twice by seeing friends and people having fun with it.

>>2071955
You have access to the internet. There is no reason you should not have the dlcs.

>>2071870
>Tips for enjoying this game?
it's a story generator first and foremost
you CAN beat it but the point is creating interesting and/or hilarious outcomes along the way
there's a reason why your "difficulty" are just different storytellers

The age of AI slop garbage is seriously annoying. Even the "good" stuff goes completely down the shitter once you pay attention to any of the details.

>>2074334
Hopefully you actually need to build them.

>>2072271
The players response to those events creates the story

>>2075455
the problem isn't the slop, it's the sloppers

>>2075455
Stuff like >>2072498 which is made by proompters using free web generators has little to do with the good stuff. The actual good stuff mostly goes unnoticed because you won't be able to tell that it's made using AI and gets touched up by hand if necessary to fix inconsistencies.

>>2075956
What really changed? Ten years ago you had idiots that downloaded gimp and pressed contrast 50x for their "high definition" texture packs now you have this crap. It's not the technology, it's the attentionwhores too shit to produce anything of value and you'll always have those.

How are you finding 1.6 unstable frens?

Not playing much at the moment but tried a bit vanilla and surprised how many of my QoL mods have been incorporated including set-up camps.

>>2063677
All of them

>>2076020
where can you play it? is it from the download link here >>2065669 ?

>>2076563
Yes or if you're the owner from steam beta

I wish Tynan would stop trying to pretend that Archeotech isn't just magic.

>>2075820
Don't see why you wouldn't. It's one of the promised features of the grasslands zones. High wind, sparse rain, easily spreading fires. I think a stone path three tiles wide is still enough to stop fire from crossing. And nothing's quite as good as a river to protect a side of your base.

>>2075844
By that logic everything can be story generator. Please tell me, that you are aware of that.

>>2071955
1.) You should have pirated the game first instead of just throwing money at Tynan, this lets you test out the game before wasting like.. 30 bucks on it.

2.)Install some mods for QOL, when i pirated it i realized i should install better AI mofs because pathfinding and ai could fucking suck. I recommend a better ai pathfinding mod, a common sense mod, and Achtung to control pawns easier in combat.

3.) reroll your three pawns till you get one good at plants, cooking, and building and/or mining someone with some decent medicine is good too. Build traps around your base and chokepoints to filter enemy raids and rogue animals.

4.) I recommend starting in a mountain mainly because you basically have your walls around you already.

>>2063623 (OP)
Does anyone have a good idea for a Nausicaa style techno-medieval playthrough? I'm thinking of using World edit and that faction editor mod to make that's mostly deserts and dangerous wood biomes and shit but theres some small pockets of actually habitable land. Maybe even Cherry Picker to put out most spacer age and some industrial age stuff. Faction edit to make it so all the factions have medieval style dress but with revolvers and shit.

Then maybe vehicles and airships to make travel easier. Thinking of going for an evil wizard faction playthrough, like a force of psycasts and their minions who rock up to a settlement and take people and their knowledge for their wicked experiments.

>>2077168
>take people and their knowledge for their wicked experiments
Is there any mod where that's actually a thing you can do? Do experiments on captured pawns for research, or some benefits? I think Anomaly does something similar, but not interesting enough.
The closest mod I can think of is the Lovecraft one if you go for the King in Yellow, since he lets you sacrifice pawns for research, but that's not nearly enough.

>>2077304
I guess it would mostly be RP using Biotech, theres a medieval biotech mod.

>>2065451
the game has no copy protection, just ask someone who has the dlcs to send you a zip file with their steam files. or, you know, google "rimworld free download".

How well does this game run on older hardware?

>>2079811
Pretty well the max speed is capped unless you use console, hopefully the new dlc and patch introduce more speeds considering they are adding multithreading

>>2079832
You can already test 1.6 on the Beta version oN Steam

>>2079811
Actually pretty decently, and this is talking "late game" with like 20 + colonists.

>>2063623 (OP)
I only play with the medieval mod.

>>2080329
Idk why Medieval Rimworld is always so fun, i guess it's because of how limited you are, you can't really become that self sufficient like vanilla. Even with mods you still have to struggle well into the late game, also you have a good reason to build a cool ass castle.

>>2063623 (OP)
My mods won't load, sorted them, resorted them, etc. Launcher said their fine but everytime they "load" it just boots me to a menu without any buttons or UI. Just the background with a movable mouse. Wtf is this, i even got two mod managers but this is fucking 388 mods.

>Wtf is this, i even got two mod managers but this is fucking 388 mods.
Export your modlist and post it. Also ask on /rwg/, you might get faster reply there. Probably something is outdated or two mods are incompatible
>>2084195
Neither of those should cause the problems you describe, yayo might be outdated though

>>2084195
remove them and try again, with the sort of problem you've described it is often something you least expect conflicting with something

>>2080329
The aesthetic is cooler and it still provides difficulty even later on.

Even if caravanning is easier, there's no incentive to leave my base other than stopping fuck-off stupid mech bases from suppressing half my colony. Overhaul the world generation and faction interactions, let me become king of the Rim. Also, how much you want to bet that the sentience nanites aren't even good enough to be considered a gimmick?

>>2086250
>there's no incentive to leave my base
aren't they adding actual landmarks to travel to?
Also, need to travel to biomes to build up your frogs and snails collection, which you should be

>>2086250
There is plenty of incentive to leave your base if you use mods.
Like vehicles.
This bad boy lets me fly across the world and trade with every faction base

>>2086410
>if you use mods
Even then, all you're really doing is trading. At least he's going to finally integrate some QoL mods for caravanning into the base game, but even still you're just going to be trading and (still) using vehicles or some other mod to make travel take a reasonable amount of time.

>>2086369
Landmarks are probably going to be gimmicks. You visit them one time in one playthrough, then never again unless they have cheesy/overpowered loot.

>>2088571
Ship destroys every tile it lands on unless you have an expensive late game building to anchor it. Just install a vehicle mod.

>>2088571
>>2090122
They have shuttle craft you can use for caravaning before you get to that end game plasteel landing pad thing btw

>>2090122
>>2090125
I will just install the mod to prevent this tile mechanic. If they don't adjust it themselves eventually. If the tile comes back after 30 days or so that would already be fine. I don't understand the reasoning of permanent. To be honest pretty disappointed with the ship caravan potential. The ritual and forced cooldown means you can't easily send one pawn out with it to trade. The range is also not great and it seems to be a chemfuel guzzler. The shuttle looks perfect though, so the vehicle mod can remain in the trash bin.

>>2090211
They were pretty clear that they designed the ship around a nomadic lifestyle
It's disappointing, but expected from Ludeon.

>>2090223
That was my first concern when seeing the announcement, that it'd be a gimmick that ends up acting as it's own minigame rather than adding meaningfully to the core game.

What new animals are they adding? Are they adding kiwis?

>finished grabbing the DLC two hours ago
>still haven't sorted out mod list including all the new forks now for mods not yet updated

>>2091030
I'm just playing a vanilla run to get acquainted with the new stuff first

>>2090706
Most of them are either birds or other animals which can fly, or animals who can swim are are often found in water. Plus the not-actual-animals what you can fish.

I thought random meant getting an equal chance of random good or neutral events happening too. Or is the pool for bad shit just so much bigger that random means you're effectively getting raped by bullshit because there's so much more of it that the chances are higher to roll it?

>>2092477

I'm enjoying the nomad playstyle a lot more than I thought I would
Getting new people is kind of difficult so far though.

>>2092899
Combat focused expansion next trust the plan

Why the fuck are these dlc's 35 dollars each. they can't be that good.

>>2093411
That would actually be pretty decent.

>>2093416
they cost 0.01 oz of gold.

in 2015 0.01 oz were worth about ten dollars.

The colony ship mode is kind of fun but it has a weird progression curve.
Very long stretch of doing the exact same type of raids over and over again with mid tier weapons

>>2093416
Wait till you find out about what happened to the price of food in the past 10 years. Oh and housing. Weirdly furniture and clothes are now 'cheaper' but it's near impossible to find solid wood furniture (pressed laminated reclaimed cardboard bed costs 1000$?) and the thread count in cloth of most clothes is a fraction to what it was 10-20 years ago, a free T-shirt I got from some sports game decades ago has 4x the threadcount of a 'quality' 20$ Tshirt I bought this year.

>>2092899
Game feels better without it to be honest. You have implants like knee spikes and elbow blades to give ranged pawns melee options and Grenadier armor for explosives. New weapons can also have underbarrel attachments. Sidearm mods just invalidate all of it.

All of those things being god-awful aside, how the fuck does having a knife or a pistol make the game worse?

>>2101430
"He" should try using one of the lighter presets instead of running with five main weapons and then "feeling" the game is busted

muh story was ruined in this story simulation game. Did they ever fix this awful broken crap? Didn't feel good to have all my effort just copy and pasted.

>>2101960
>only 1 copy
the call to adventure came, and you rejected it

>>2101960
I've felt like the game hands out free shit like candy in a way fucks up any sense of progression for a while now. Are quests still either
>kill 4 rats for a legendary powerhammer
or
>be on the recieving end of 3 consecutive stronger than normal mechanoid sieges in exchange for a single pawn with unknown stats
with no inbetween?

thanks randy

>>2101971
It was still pretty bad last time I played.

>>2101971
Not quite. Rewards have their own loot table so while it might be 4 rats for a zeushammer sub day 50 it'll be 495342646534 rats for that same hammer and 3k plasteel day 5000.

Which DLC should I get?
I picked it up a couple of days ago and I'm enjoying my time with it

>>2103735
Pirate all of them imho. Each brings some good shit and some things you'll probably ignore.

>>2103735
Biotech > Odyssey > Royalty > Ideology > Anomaly

>>2103741
Royalty over anomaly or ideology? Come on. Flamethrowers alone makes it good and who doesn't like making a cult.

>>2103745
I don't like how fantastical Anomaly is and how it warps your playthrough around its existence.
Ideology is a great idea that was executed poorly and has less real content than Royalty.

>>2103747
>and how it warps your playthrough around its existence
just don't tick the "i want loads of anomaly stuff" box?

>>2103747
I honest to God love it, my favorite expansion until ody and that's only because shuttles and mobile bases are great. Also motherfucking flamethrowers.

>>2103751
>just don't tick the "i want loads of anomaly stuff" box?
Then what's the point of the DLC?

>>2103759
for you to bitch about

How are the larger map sizes now that performance is improved?

>>2104323
Still GPU melting if you get a 9000+ tribals or have a runaway chicken or cat farm

>>2063677
And what is bad about it?

>>2103741
I agree with anomaly being so low. It could really use a redesign. IIRC the option to tone it down was added later when a ton of people complained about it. For a self proclaimed big shot game designer who even wrote a book about it the dev is really fucking clueless about some basic things.
>>2103759
It is the most aggressive DLC as it really wants to make the entire game about itself and is clearly designed around that. You can tune it down, but that is clearly a half assed cope measure for the people who paid money and don't want to feel ripped off.

>>2108475
Meine neger, Tynan wrote the book on game development before the game even came out. His only track record before that in the industry were a couple of fan made custom maps for an FPS. If toady wasn't such a complacent dumbass or if Maia wasn't dogshit and dead on arrival T-man would be flipping burgers at Arby's right now. Sucking up to gaymergoys and have them shill it on reddit for free didn't hurt him either.

>>2063846
This. It's like a dumbed down Dwarf Fortress with none of the complex interactions and simulation aspects of DF

sometimes I'm tempted to buy the book just so I can take a shit on it

>>2092715
wait raiders can spawn with that?

>>2115914
Well, why not? I don't really use turrets. Nothing wrong with them I just prefer a more flexible frontline and no friendly uranium bolts to the back of my head. Second I like mixed unit tactics, solid line of those can stop just about anything and having some specialized mobile squads covers most situations.

>wealth
Yeah, that can be a bitch but it caps out. Even with randy it's about max 20k points in vanilla-ish which is in worst case scenario about 60-ish centipedes. The way ody treats your ship and the way adaptation tanks because you "took" damage by leaving all that wealth when you "abandoned" your colony just makes it easier. Before ody having squads of dedicated suicide bombers and shotgunners helped mitigate adaptation just fine.
Also feels nice to be able to build exactly how you want and pave your entire colony in marble silver and jade (if that's what you want of course) and not worry about getting fucked over the value of your floors alone.

>>2115764
>>2115758
having loads of pawns is shit because there's zero tension if someone gets injured or dies because you have two dozen replacements that have similar skillsets

>>2063677
What's the issue with this? There are like 50 mods that absolutely should be integrated into the base game. Unmodded Rimworld is janky as fuck.

>>2063677
>>2118178
They could atleast properly rip off the mods they integrate instead of halfassing them. Still added back designator shapes, geo landforms, biome transition, replace stuff and planning extended because the in-game versions of what they were supposed to replace don't have half the features.

Dropped it some time in because I realized that ultimately I'm playing pretty much the same way I always do, but with a lot more tedium added on.

You really need some fucked up active self-sabotage thing to keep it interesting.

https://rimworldwiki.com/wiki/Quests#Desperate_Refugees
I think I've had rewards from 20% of refugees that visited. 30% of them betrayed. This was the first time in maybe 100 refugee groups I hosted that I got something good and not 400 seal leather or a masterwork shortbow.

I usually take them on, order them to drop their weapons and have them do cleaning or hauling because I'm always short on basic laborers.

>>2119590
bro your mech roombas?

>>2119590
if I give the refugees shit and then fly away to a different tile will they still reward me?

>>2119669
I think the happier they are when they leave the more likely to reward you but that's purely anecdotal. Would need someone who's looked at the quest code to say for sure.

>>2119687
Not relevant, it's literally a % rng roll like most things

how the fuck do i get my pawns to have sex and start romancing there's not even a fucking debug cheat for this

>>2123325
Get RJW.
Alternatively, tell them to fuck more often in the relationship menu once they're together.

>>2123327
thanks anon

>>2123325
its one of the few things that sort of only happens organically
they've got to have a good opinion of each other so they need to spend time around one another, have compatible personality traits (or just not have incompatible ones), be beautiful if their personality/ideoligion allows that, and be relatively close in age
so outside using the psycast that forces relationships or abusing the psychic bond gene its basically out of your hands besides trying to schedule people to be around each other and spamming the romance button under social to keep rolling for specific pairings

>>2102317
If there is a reason you don't have your kids restricted to a particular zone, like most irl parents, I can not figure it out.

You are just a bad parent and got what you deserved.

>>2090538
No.
Getting the plasteel for an anchor is a bit much (have not gotten it on any of my saves yet), but once you do there should be no problem to taking off and raiding with you warship while your farm slaves stay trapped in your mountain fortress hideout with your mechanoid defenders.

Doing it with desert space wizard tribals that think they are the new gods of the world should be fun too.

>>2123402
Plasteel is easy enough to get with traders and deep drills. Having to hop back every so often because 99.9.9.9.9% of the raids hit your anchor base is THE real pain in the ass.

>>2123473
Traders is mostly not a thing for me. All I get is tribals or the damn tithe collector.

Once you have deep drills and ground penetrating radar to target the plasteel, all the fun of raiding is gone. Just stay home and have the slaves work the drills.

And if you say orbital traders I will point to the deep drill and ground penetrating radar paragraph above.

They really need to lower the amount of plasteel required for the anchor.

>>2123494
Traders as in use shuttles to visit them or goodwill from pods to call them in

>>2123338
>and be relatively close in age
it's a big factor. chronophagy is useful to manage this

>>2123338
Nonsense. Creepers have 0 regardless of anything else. Compatible traits either thru genetics or ideology, and especially those that give opinion like bloodfeeder:revered. Roles and rituals have opinion boost towards the performer. Medics saving and wardens doing their thing.

Yes it's RNG like everything else but if you're smart you get to play with loaded dice.

>fire starting spree

>>2131571

here's how you fix the steam workshop
>allow users to disable forced updates
>allow users to choose old builds of mods
it will never happen because the workshop does not directly make money so its not worth investing into significantly and we're in the age of the user should have as little control over the client as possible but it wouldn't be hard to fucking do either
rimworld is making me wish everything was hosted on github instead with all the different game update versions and forks for every little thing

>>2131695

if everything was on github then we could just use chatgpt to make new mods fr fr

>>2131798
>use chatgpt

is the dlc any good?

>>2134649
Not bad.
Kinda fun new way to build a faction. The nomad thing is cool. What I would really like is some hide walls that give 100% back when deconstructed.
Then I could make tribal Mongols.

Doesn't work too well with other DLC.

Biotech is too bulky for ships. Royalty also too much sitting around and large rooms to fit in ships. Anomaly, I am still trying to test out, but the monolith being singular and immovable makes it interact badly. Ideology, of corse depends on which you use.

>>2134649
as advertised not really
doing a gravship centric run is fun like once before you figure out what everything does and how to cheese it
outside of a dedicated run a small gravship is nice for when you're sending people exploring with the caveat being that even with the new landmarks and loot rumors you aren't getting that much
more than the other dlc this is very much a wait for mods to flesh it out situation or you're buying it for the other aspects like map features
I can appreciate that there was a lot of work being done under the hood for 1.6 but when they're listing more animals and more quests in the features list you can tell its a bit barren

>>2134649
Yeah, pretty good. Shuttle and vac barrier alone are goddamn amazing.

>>2134767
>Doesn't work too well with other DLC
skill issue

>>2134767
>Royalty also too much sitting around and large rooms to fit in ships
combine your throne room and dining/rec room to save a lot of space

>biotech is too bulky
the gestators are a pain, but you can get a moderate mech complement without too much trouble if you just make a batch of subcores and then deconstruct the scanners. steel is easy to get with the gravship anyway.

and a small mech charger and a couple of vacs and lifters takes a lot less space than having pawns running around everywhere sweeping and hauling

370 hours in rimworld and I still haven't played any of the DLC yet.
I just like the base game with mods.
I've never completed the game either. cba
I just like to build and make my base look pretty.
Is completing the game any fun? Any of the DLC worth it? - Do they ever go on sale?

>>2134950
>Is completing the game any fun?
it's a good capstone when you're done with your colony

>>2134950
Have you considered piracy?

>>2134979
Is that easy? I have the base game on steam.
All I need to do in download the DLC from somewhere and put it in the correct folder path.
It can't be that easy right?
Does steam not detect that kind of stuff?

>>2134987
...oh boy. Yeah anon, it's that easy. And just to help a nig out instead of telling you look into cream.api or whatever I'll just leave this here

>set limb replacement surgery
>WARNING: there's already a pegleg here, are you sure?
Imagine if the giant text wall options list warned you when you're about to cut off a normal limb. Wouldn't that be, haha, sensible?
>>2119590
I wouldn't be surprised if it's influenced by difficulty. When I set it lower, it's actually my main way of recruiting pawns.

>>2116064
>Autistic retard cannot fathom other people play differently and do not have the same goals as him
not surprised at all

>>2134767
Ambient Horror setting makes Anomaly mesh quite well with Odyssey, plus a few of the Space Anomaly mods and you're set. Although most rituals still require you to land on the planet which won't mesh well with a space SCP playthrough.

>What I would really like is some hide walls that give 100% back when deconstructed.
Yeah, not having tent walls be part of the clearly nomadic expansion and having to rely on mods is quite unfortunate, but what can you expect from a Canadian Toady-lite. You're stuck with either Hide Animal Walls which barely works and looks fugly as sin, or Medieval Overhaul which bloats out the game and scatters half the research tree across two tabs, which isn't bad if you're running a lean game, but when you have around 500 mods like an average Rimmer it tends to stack up. There's also Uncle Boriss Used Furniture Pack with it's HESCO Walls, but it's Cold War and GWOT aesthetic might not mesh well with a regular playthrough, unless you plan on RPing as a traveling Merc company, in which case the RH2 series of mods is perfect for you.

I'm curious, how many of you actually never finished the game with an ending? Also, I play normally until my colony gets to around 100k wealth, when I enable peaceful mode and just do quests/raid other places, am I playing the game wrong?

>>2141057
Yes but it's a single player game so do whatever you want.

I never finished any ending. When odyssey came out I did a gravship run. Ended up with all pawns in legendary cata armor with atleast masterwork charge rifles. Got all ship modules, etc. Basically done with the game, lost interest and never flew to the mech hive. I could have probably finished it easily but I always keep procrastinating the ending until I lose interest in the run.
Doing an ending doesn't actually get you anything anyways so it's kinda whatever.

>>2141057
i cleared the mech hive roughly at the time i gained access to it and it was fun

>>2141057
I got the three endings of die to lag, die to adding a new mod mid run and fuck everything even on reload and die to boredom.

>>2141057
3000ish hours
Never made it to an ending
I normally get bored at mid-late game and restart

>>2141057
generally the perceived issue with going for an ending in these sorts of games is that it feels like you're voluntarily choosing to end your fun and at that point just start a new colony
at least it seems like tyhack is starting to get the message since the anomaly and odyssey endings are more like long term goals with a payoff of some sort instead of an end
I'd still say they're of questionable value but its the thought that counts
I think for a bit they were thinking about just giving up on the idea of adding end goals altogether during biotech or maybe they just didn't feel like they had the dev time for such a relatively dense dlc

>>2141057
I did finish but only in beta. I think easiest ending would be the one with selling 3 settlements since you keep 5 colonists and animals and items of your choosing and fully bioniced you would get quite a settlement value already kickstarted.
