[Gaming] RimWorld

Press F to pay respects.

Yay, modlist finally got updated so I can post my current list of mods without having to put forth effort! Spoilered for length.

Modlist is https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1510045283 since it doesn't show itself in the list.

It also generates an HTML list that describes all the mods, but .html is not an allowed attachment type, and the formatting gets weird if I try to copy/paste that list.

I'm annoyed that boars can't haul anymore, but Randy has been showering me with Huskies and Labs in my current game, so I'll allow it for now.

Did they make Hardworking Animals vanilla now or something?

Not that I know.

So the HWA mod author deliberately made boars unable to haul?

Dei · Sep 20, 2018

Well, B19 did that.

Randy hates my new horse mod.

Dave · Sep 26, 2018

Fuck Randy, that masochistic dick.

Horsey, nooooooooooo!

I am also saddened by the lack of muffalo in this post.

Muffalooooooooooooooo

You would rather my muffalos were getting struck by lightning?! :eek:

Perhaps you should be comforted. Any muffalo in a Randy Random game.... are gonna have a bad time.

Yeah, that

Dave · Sep 26, 2018

Muffalo are only good for food. Elephants are where it's at. Elephants can haul things (as in to haul things at your colony), muffalos can't. Elephants can rescue downed colonists and animals, muffalos can't. Elephants have twice as many hit points as muffalos. Elephants have 5.9 DPS while muffalos have 3.72. Elephants have twice the carrying capacity of muffalos (almost - elephants have 300 and muffalos have 158).

Elephants are far superior than muffalos in every way. And no, milking doesn't count. Who uses milk in RimWorld?

What? No! Just that they aren't there. You know, muffaloing around and stuff.

The RimWorld artists that create erotic statues out of butter. Obviously.

Dave · Sep 26, 2018

Bah. You can grow that and you get enough leather and stuff from hunting. I'd rather have a hauling tank than a couple bundles of muffalo wool.

And the Rimworld artists that create butter statues commemorating their own creation of a butter statue of two other colonists gettin' it on, natch.

Dave · Sep 26, 2018

And you can't even get that much food out of muffalos! Elephants have 360 units of food while muffalos only have 189.

Elephants are big and block my view. I'd rather have muffalos and rhinos.

The thing that Randy did last game that annoyed me was that I kept declining to help people fleeing from other factions, then he had something like 4 pacifist wanderers with one awesome trait and the rest shit join me over the course of the next season. And I'm too nice to just turn them into hats.

Dave · Oct 6, 2018

All right, RimWorlders. I have a question. Here's the lead-in.

I have a colony with (I believe) 10 people, two of which are not combat. I have a completely walled in base with one unfinished kill maze. At the south east side of my base is an ancient danger that I hadn't yet breached. So there was a raid. Sappers. Then this happened.

My question is, now that the bad things are loose, how would you deal with them? I have a few ideas, but want to hear yours.

Edit: And for some reason people typing in Twitch chat is not showing in OBS. Again.

Depends on if, after the raid was squashed, are the robots still actively attacking you, or did they become complacent to sit?

If they are attacking, I'd lure them through that hole in the south wall and overwhelm them one by one as they trickle through. You might sustain some injuries but it can be done.

If they're complacent, you might have time to build EMP mortars.

Restrict your people from getting in their aggro range with zoning and finish your kill box.

Dei · Oct 6, 2018

Speaking of the kill maze, I find that putting lots of rows of doors in every three squares lets you lay out traps throughout the maze without stepping on them yourself. Most of the time enemies will start to flee before they even get through. (I've also seen people make all the inside walls out of wood and roof it so they can block people in and set everything on fire as they try to flee, thus roasting them from overheating, but that's a bit much for me

)

Dave · Oct 6, 2018

They are complacent right now. I'm tempted to wall them back in at a greater distance, setting up my kill-box, and then opening the other side and leading them through. I want to get my turrets up before I face them.

I don't think I could, but I'd love to throw in a Molotov and then wall it in while they fry but I'm sure that's not possible.

Dei · Oct 6, 2018

Nah, nothing in that room is really flammable.

GasBandit · Oct 6, 2018

Makes me miss my pit traps back in Gnomoria. Nothing takes the piss out of an enemy raid like a 10 story fall down a shaft to a hard granite wake-up call. Makes loot collection pretty easy too. And sandwiches for daaaayys. Gets to the point where you want to send insult emissaries to all the neighboring goblin kingdoms just to get them to raid more and bring better gear when they do.

Dei · Oct 6, 2018

Hmmm, I just found a neat thing. It lets you have a Rimworld server where everyone can build a colony and send each other shit with drop pods and stuff. It seems the visiting colonies thing is still being worked on, and it's not on steam so you have to install it manually, but it's neat.

Dave · Oct 8, 2018

Great. There goes all my Addons.

Heck, some of mine just updated to .19 and I'm still waiting on 2 of them to finish... Which probably won't happen now... *sigh*

1) Making the thing out of wood is pretty much what I started doing on mine.
2) I'm totally copying your kill box design tonight.

Dei · Oct 17, 2018

There are a bunch of mods that have been updated already...

But not HugsLib.

:fu:
