Considering the devs said that the mods should still all work, all they have to do is up the iteration on the things to work. I have a feeling there's going to be a lot of mods updating today and tomorrow.

Dei · Oct 17, 2018

Hugslib might need to get tweaked because of the food restriction change, I'm not sure.

"Everybody needs downtime, Greg."

That's amazing!

ncts_dodge_man · Oct 18, 2018

I thought it was pretty great. Elena's "One must compromise our standards..." that set that whole thing up.

Dei · Oct 18, 2018

Things clearly changed between .19 and 1 as far as mods go. I can't figure out the mod conflict I'm having, and half my mods claim to be 1.0 compatible while actually not being so as far as the mod loader is concerned so I think I might have to wait a few days and see if my errors clear up, because mods that worked yesterday after the update are throwing errors at me today so someone fucked something up somewhere, and I don't feel like trying to figure out which one it is right now. I already turned off the ones that seemed most likely, and it didn't work so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Dei · Oct 18, 2018

Honestly, the problem is probably that HugsLib had to update for the new things, and the other mods didn't fix their shit to be compatible with HugsLib again.

ncts_dodge_man · Oct 19, 2018

I started over from scratch and it wouldn't go past the world generation part until I removed a couple of mods because while they said they were "1.0" compatible - it didn't work.

The mods I'm really hoping gets updated soon is the RuntimeGC and one that gives you Allow all items - with some of the other mods I have, being able to cleanup old pawns really helps as my computer starts to slow down after a while (so RuntimeGC) and since I just started over, I missed a few things during the initial crashing and first few days of more stuff crashing, that would have been helpful, but since I couldn't allow everything without finding them on the screen, they deteriorated.

Dave · Oct 19, 2018

Allow Tools. Oh god allow tools is so needed.

Dave · Oct 19, 2018

Allow Tools got updated between last night and right now.

ncts_dodge_man · Oct 19, 2018

Of course it did - I haven't looked since last night. Hooray!

Dei · Oct 28, 2018

My daughter's dreams have come true.

Is anyone else jealous of her room?

--Patrick

Dave · Oct 29, 2018

Nobody is jealous of the smell or the hair floating around that room.

The only reason anyone remembers that comic strip.

To be fair, it's a lot less awful since the reboot. I still have its RSS in my feedly, which can't be said for, say, PvP Online.

GasBandit · Nov 28, 2018

The Nutrient Paste Dispenser is really underappreciated.

From the comments - if you feed cows nutrient paste, you can actually create a positive feedback loop from the milk, and generate more food than they eat.

Dave · Nov 28, 2018

Very interesting. I've never used one.

Dei · Jan 18, 2019

Actual functioning MP mod? Still have to be on the same faction though.

Neat. Not clear to me, is it each player with their own town in the same faction, or managing the same settlement?

I assume the same settlement. I haven't seen anyone try to make one where people manage different places.

Hey all first time, long time.

Just had the event toxic fallout happen so I start scrambling to set up a home area completely under a roof so that there would be farming happening and so that my devilstrands don't whither up.

Then my construction guy decides with basically none of the project done to throw the colony's first party at a table in a spare bedroom.

Dave · Jan 24, 2019

Suicidal toddlers. That's what your colonists are. You are a generous god, but only to keep them alive.

Squidleybits · Oct 11, 2020

I am downloading it now

Squidleybits · Oct 12, 2020

Are there any mods that you all would recommend?

My tutorial was horrid, but my first game went well until everyone died trying to save a chick via caravan and my animals all starved while I had a freezer full of food....

Also, they rejected my name

Ohhhh boy. At last count I had like 64, but my list may be out of date. @Dei is probably the best one to ask about this.

Dei · Oct 12, 2020

I'm still laying in bed being lazy, but when I get up I'll go check my mod list. I would start with Allow Tool for sure. What kinds of mods do you want?

Dave · Oct 12, 2020

I have 23 in my game. They are listed. Ones with * are ones I wouldn't play without.

Harmony* - Need this to be able to run a lot of other mods.
Hospitality - Entertain and recruit visitors. Nice to have but not necessary.
MendAndRecycle - Fix yo shit. Again not necessary but nice.
Door Mat - Cleans your feet as you walk inside.
Mortar Accuracy - You'll get this after having your best shooters constantly missing.
Stack XXL* - What do you mean I can only have 75 of something in a pile? Naw. Make that 1000.
Research Pal* - Helps with your research tree. Some would say this is optional but I love it.
Colony Manager* - Set hunting/taming/breeding/foraging and your people will just do it. Should be base game IMO.
Animal Tab - Adds functionality to the Animals tab.
RunAndGun* - Stand still, shoot. Then run a few steps. Then stand still. Fuck that.
Animals Logic - Makes animals act more logically. Not necessary but nice.
Heat Map - Shows how hot/cold it is, toggled. I don't play without this, but it's completely a QOL thing.
A Dog Said...Animal Prosthetics* - BIONIC DOG LEGS!
Work Tab* - Holy shit this is a great mod. Really get down in the weeds as to what you want your people to do.
Replace Stuff - Instead of tearing down a wood wall and replacing it with stone, this mod lets you just replace it. Again, QOL stuff.
Realistic Rooms - Rooms don't have to be 50x50 royal bedchambers to make people happy. Makes it so they will be perfectly content in a 6 tile room.
RT Fuse****** - This is the one mod I absolutely have to have. Adds the ability to make fuses. When normally something would go BZZT! and start your shit on fire, this blows the fuse instead.
Allow Tool* - Like Dei said, this one is a must. Too much to describe.
RimHUD - Trying this one for the first time. It's nice and has a lot of info, but you can play without it.
[KV] RimFridge* - Make a fridge to put stuff in instead of stuffing everything into your freezer. And they are small enough you can put one in your dining room!
Wall Light - Nice to have to light your rooms without taking up a space.
EdB Prepare Carefully* - If you want to make your people your way to start a game, you need this one. Want to do a cannibal playthrough? You have to have this to make them crave human flesh. (I recommend doing this at least once. Raids are like Uber Eats for your colony.)
HugsLib* - Like Harmony, this is the framework for other mods.

This is such a great game. You're gonna love it.

Dei · Oct 12, 2020

Here's an HTML Link to all of my mods, with descriptions and links included. (I have a mod that spits this out for me, I'm not insane)

I'd apologize for all of my hairstyle mods, but I have a feeling that you won't mind them.

(Download it then open it in your browser, using the link itself doesn't play nice)

Dei · Oct 12, 2020

It also spits out a .txt file, but just links, no description.
Also, since it doesn't show up on the list, here's the modlist mod. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1545126946&searchtext=modlist

Realistic rooms! I had a chick straight up throw tantrums over the massive room with a bluefur chair I made her. Always jealous of someone else’s! She was the worst.

The manager and the stacking sound awesome too!

I need to re-do my name as well. Dude was all “this is clearly not a realistic name”. No kidding lol

Also, if I download some of these, may I continue my game or do I need to re-start. I’m ok either way as I had a bloody fist fight on day one over a weight comment.

I mean, I assume that chick had jealous trait, which is why.

She did. I didn’t realize right away.
