Rimworld

Marked as a spoiler because its a monster from Anomaly. The thing is, these things are not scary, because they don't have the AI necessary to capitalize on their invisibility. They act like typical raiders, meaning you can place your tough melee guys in a chokepoint, and they'll come to get their skulls bashed in.

It would probably be better if they instead acted like predatory animals, milling around on the map, and occasionally hunting one of your colonists. If they'd then avoid groups of colonists, while also always attacking in a group themselves, they'd be a truly terrifying monster. Basically, you'd have to hide out in your base, or go out to hunt them. And if you do choose to wait them out, there would be no indication that they've left.

I love Rimworld and play it a lot. I frequently see posts and articles comparing the two. I got Dwarf Fortress, watched tutorials, printed out flow charts, and really gave it a try for several hours.

But I didn't get into Dwarf Fortress :( some of the mechanics are weird. Many things are not intuitive or don't make sense. Like seeds that are needed for growing mushrooms are defaulted to be used in cooking and the setting to turn that off is difficult to find.

I finally realized an analogy today. Rimworld is like The Sims while Dwarf Fortress is like Sim City. Rimworld you directly control people and micromanage a colony. Dwarf Fortress is Sim City - you zone things and say generally what you want to happen, but don't control your meeples directly.

Thoughts on the comparison? Any other folks like Rimworld but not Dwarf Fortress?

Follow up to my last post , the problem has been resolved using a killbox. Admittedly, I had to reload several times before I got it right. So in about 5 out of 6 universes, the colony died.

The ongoing toxic fallout means that the sunblocker the mechanoids brought along won't cause any damage for the time being.

2nd playthrough, Cassandra Classic, strive to survive, Tribal start.

This game can be brutal, huh? I love it!

nearly 16 are now "infected" I've been studying this thing for like 2 years, my scientist mentioned they could "solve" it some time ago. But now even they have been adding to the garden. I'm wondering if my curiosity has doomed them all.

They aren't trying very hard tho.

the text says: 'me watching the civil outlander union become hostile (I settled 4 tiles away instead of 5'

stupid white text on white background

I lived bitch.

Don't fuck around with hares yall

I tried to make my duplicate as different from the original as possible, but they fell in love anyway

edit: they are allowed the food, they just don't want to consider it

this is actually going on right now in my save and I am having much fun

for those with poor eyesight, the meme says: my lone sanguophage scrambling to search for a cure as all of my colonists are slowly taken over by The Cube

titles I thought of while making this meme:

• highway to hell
• hello distressingmemes
• Nightmare Scenario
• you will be next
• i'm making the final cut, it's down to the wire

I'm looking for a mod that'll let me set up a master list of work bills that can be done by multiple pawns across multiple workstations without having to edit the bills list of each one. Does this exist?

I currently use a mod (one of Dub's I want to say?) that can clone and link bills, but you still have to set up each workbench individually and remember to link anything new you add so it still gets tedious in a large colony. Something used to do this iirc, possibly Fluffy's Colony Manager, but I'm sure it didn't in the previous verstion or two and I've only started getting into 1.5 in the last week so I'm not sure if anything new has popped up.

Alternatively, if this isn't already a thing and anyone's up for making it I'd be happy to throw some money your way.

Thanks.

for anyone ootl, the original wall light mod had the clickbox for the object cover the wall, whereas the base game one has it in front of the wall

I did a void provocation and kept my colonists grouped together. Then traders arrived and the revenant spawned inside the area of my proximity detector

I spent 40 minutes looking for a specific image from a guy asking on reddit about why his fridge was overheating (due to a steam geyser) but I couldn't find it

I thought they were called geothermal vents until right before posting so here's the alternate reality version of this meme

It started 26 days ago, I've had to bring in my scores of animals and slaughter 4/5s of them just to ration out the hay I had. Construction has begun on two internal farms to supply more hay, currently feeding everything off of my very generous mushroom farm.

I can't even bring myself to upgrade my monolith because I'm almost wiped out by a bit of cold water. My long term plan is to create a clone army of bionic super soldiers to help defeat the anomalies as we embrace madness. Instead I've got a friendship ranch full of badly specialised pawns.

Does anyone know if there's a mod to extract genes from anomalies to implant them into my pawns? I know about the spine, but after some extra fun to be gained from studying them.

For how long should spoiler indicators be used? (From release date)

Is a spoiler warning like this enough to warn us not to look at content, or should spoilers be behind a NSFW tag?

the chart is the highest cover values in the game for non-anomaly items, from the rimworld wiki

I altered the rimworld screenshot to move the cover effectiveness text to the top but I didn't alter any of the data
