Given how much entities like to bumrush you it was a wise decision to get sidearms mod and give everyone bioferrite longswords as sidearm

sacred crater Apr 21, 2024, 9:45 PM

#

That we a real hard fight

#

I am now almost entirely spent in terms of resources

#

No more super weapons remaining in my arsenal ded

I do like how anomaly dlc adds like a few of those that you can stockpile and unveil at critical moments

sacred crater Apr 23, 2024, 6:02 PM

How did you collect that many kids

candid dock Apr 23, 2024, 6:49 PM

#

Honestly that's easy, I have 2 colonist's who's now on their ...sixth? child.

#

I need to get a mod to make it so the game stops giving me colonists or atleast controls the amount better

sacred crater Apr 23, 2024, 6:49 PM

clear hare Apr 24, 2024, 2:40 AM

#

Nope

sacred crater Apr 24, 2024, 2:56 AM

#

well then yeah

#

you gotta pray to the monolith to start the anomaly chain of event

#

otherwise anomaly events are very limited

clear hare Apr 25, 2024, 4:46 AM

#

Hmmm

#

have prayed at monolith but the quest says monolith level 0

and I don't have a codex

I do have anomaly research tab but nothing on it

They are the early game threat

Amazing

Yeah because like

Often the only warning you get of them ||is when you are dealing with some other threat outside of your base and then it says SIGHTSTEALERS REVEALED|| and literally hundreds of them seem to materialize out of thin air in a huge tsunami of bodies to overwhelm your pawns

sacred crater May 1, 2024, 5:17 AM

i was curious about how you would react to it haha

clear hare May 1, 2024, 5:17 AM

Nope I did this by rushing into the dark and using wooden torches

sacred crater May 1, 2024, 5:17 AM

#

now I am much better about lighting up my base

clear hare May 1, 2024, 5:17 AM

#

I also played fear of the dark by iron maiden the whole time

#

definitely one of the cooler events

sacred crater May 1, 2024, 5:18 AM

#

yeah yeah

clear hare May 1, 2024, 5:18 AM

#

I've also had a ||colonist get labyrinth'd|| and ||a giant pit cave of flesh and the monster within||

#

Anomaly is a great expansion

sacred crater May 1, 2024, 5:18 AM

after I experienced it once now I put a disruptor flare pack on at least one of my pawns

clear hare May 1, 2024, 5:18 AM

#

I'm playing tribals ;_;

#

I did just get to electricity though

sacred crater May 1, 2024, 5:19 AM

lmao

sacred crater May 1, 2024, 5:19 AM

#

which does work against hte darkness yeah lmao

#

I wasn’t prepared for just HOW DARK it would be

#

And so it came as a godsend

#

Now I just put lamps in every room every hallway everywhere my pawns are going to walk

#

I’ve become a lot more paranoid

sacred crater I wasn’t prepared for just HOW DARK it would be

Yeah I love that anomaly just makes you fucking paranoid

'Yes I will accept this rando into my colony'

And have collected 3 samples of the metal horror flesh

clear hare May 1, 2024, 5:23 AM

Oh fuck, cos you don't know what to look for

sacred crater May 1, 2024, 5:23 AM

#

Yep

clear hare May 1, 2024, 5:23 AM

#

That tracks with how the study mechanic works yeah

sacred crater May 1, 2024, 5:25 AM

#

The infection ||vectors are social interaction, meals cooked by the infected, meals fed by the infected to a downed pawn, pawns tended by the infected pawn, pawns operated on by the infected pawn (including conducting surgical inspections), injuries inflicted by the infected in a social fight….||

#

In short, learn to enjoy nutripaste

#

That’s my current paranoid state

#

I’ve demolished the kitchen and is insisting on pure nutripaste diet

#

Oh yes

#

An injury inflicted upon a pawn by any kind of entity has a very very small chance of infecting them

#

Infinitesimally small but extant

#

Enjoy paranoia

clear hare May 1, 2024, 5:27 AM

I will revel in the chaos

sacred crater May 1, 2024, 5:28 AM

If you don't activate the monolith, very little aside from a few horror-y events

if you do activate the monolith you'll have a fair amount of Spooky

if you level the monolith up it gets even spookier

unborn frost Anybody have advice for defenses? I'm finding turrets are incredibly expensive f...

On the realism side, lots of barricades and sudden corners, traps and turrets solely to catch aggro instead of vulnerable colonists- scattering turrets inside your base can be real useful if you get a drop pod or haywire drop pod raid

#

on the gamey side, two wide corridor with alternating trap-fence-trap-fence going back and forth forever

#

#

Like so

#

your pawns will zig-zag avoiding the traps, enemies will not

unborn frost May 19, 2024, 3:39 AM

on the super gamey side there's stuff you can do with pathing enemies through super hot corridors that burn them alive

but usually the colonists are getting upset due to ideology, one wants to eat human meat and doesn't want trees chopped down, one wants to attack and raid other colonies while also having a dependency on go-juice.

woven perch May 21, 2024, 2:34 PM

#

So you can convert pawns of a different ideologion by imprisoning, then setting them to conversion

#

Takes a while, and is dependent on your own pawns' social

#

And they won't be useful for a while

#

It's easier if you put that pawn in the worst prison cell possible

#

Another way is by using a spiritual leader

#

Which is a role you can give, they can do a conversion ritual or the convert ability

supple drum May 21, 2024, 2:36 PM

#

I did not know that

#

that would def be helpful as one of the pawns has a go juice dependency but their ideology dislikes recreational drugs or being forced to take drugs (despite this saving them once they are KO'd)

#

Do you have the perimeter boarded up?

#

You can also build just the reactor, board it up, then activate it and survive the 15 days then build the rest of the ship

#

Helps make raids a little smaller by giving you less wealth

supple drum May 21, 2024, 3:04 PM

#

no real defenses outside the basic sandbags

#

also how does wealth work for raids exactly? I could probably deconstruct some of the things that aren't in use

woven perch May 21, 2024, 3:05 PM

#

I don't exactly know, I only know that more wealth = bigger raid

#

And it's also dependent on your colonist count

#

Uh, it also counts every structure you constructed on the map and every item lying around

#

So an excess of food also contributes to wealth, though that's getting into min-maxing territory and not something we need to bother with

hello rimworld people

i started playing the game again after a few months (1.5, no anomaly, all other DLCs)

#

i got a question, my top researcher is 6.5 and it's been like, 70-ish days

#

i only have batteries and smithing researched with machining on the way, is research going too slow?

untold grotto May 26, 2024, 8:58 PM

#

i often have multiable people reasrching sometimes

#

also your start does determine how fast you research

#

starting as tribe is slower then others

#

i often have spare benches but put people on lowest prioty for resarch so if they have nothing to do they do research

oblique trout May 26, 2024, 9:05 PM

#

did crashlanded

#

not got a dedicated researcher yet and the only one who’s decent is also my grower

#

and one of my doctors

untold grotto May 26, 2024, 9:10 PM

#

thats not a good combo

#

resaerching is something they basicly want to be doing all the time

#

so you want your resaerches secondary jobs to be things that arent everyday actevities

#

doctor is a good one, farmer is not

#

artist can be fine, as can animals, and social

Impids are generally on my “do not recruit” list but as a researcher they aren’t too bad yeah

#

Miner isn’t bad either

untold grotto May 26, 2024, 10:03 PM

#

the porblem is mining and cooking are both time consuming jobs

#

the reason your research is going so slow is they are being stopped by jobs that are very time conusming

Was gonna ask hades but there's no reason not to just throw it out there

#

Favorite difficulty?

#

(Also fave storyteller/custom storyteller settings?)

#

I normally play Blood and Dust with Perry Persistent (faster events and quests)

#

Ironically I feel like cassandra is a pretty tough storyteller

#

I've heard Phoebe will just randomly kill you worse than Randie tho

woven perch May 29, 2024, 7:14 AM

#

So the thing is that Cassandra consistently sends threats your way, whereas Randy can just not send threats for a while with good rolls

#

Phoebe sends fewer threats, but since raids are one of your main source of recruitment and acquiring weapons in the early game and is proportional to your wealth, she can suddenly hit you with the gigantic raid because your wealth ballooned

#

Granted I might be wrong

#

I haven't tried anyone else aside from Cassandra, she's pretty predictable

#

And I like Adventure Story, it's chill enough

supple drum May 29, 2024, 7:32 AM

#

After spending a few hours reading guides

#

They primarily effect timers of events

#

Randy is def rng so it can go either way

#

Cassandra sends like 2 threats in a 5ish day timeframe and then gives 6ish days of rest

#

Phoebe is 1 event for 8 days then 8 days of rest

#

Of course the timers aren't effected by quests

#

And with the way wealth works

#

You actually might get more screwed because you take a quest and spawn in wealth

#

Also if you play using Phoebe

#

You might use that downtime to suddenly proc a bunch of wealth which is where a sudden increase of difficulty might come up

I don't use the sidebar but I also don't use warehouse storage

small geyser Aug 18, 2024, 5:04 PM

#

Yeah, it kind of models actual electrical distribution problems. Except transformers are funky.

#

Tbh though, when you said electrical weirdness, I thought you meant the problem space of setting up efficient power generation. I usually find that I burn half a power generator's output on its own supporting infrastructure (e.g. pumps, filters, airlocks, etc...) unless I put a whole lot of thought into designing those systems.

#

Which, actually, would probably be super easy to fix by mod by just increasing the power output of most generators. (Or just research solar panels sooner.)

#

... this is probably going to make me start another ONI colony, isn't it? 🧐

The Bizzare Lore of Oxygen Not Included

Oxygen Not Included is a game that has been on my mind for a very long time. For the over 6 years that I have been playing this game, I've come to enjoy (and also hate) many parts of it.

But one thing that always stood out to me is the game's story. Klei is famous for putting an unnecessary amount of thought into their games, especially when it...

Speaking of oxygen not included, is the frosty planets pack worth it when just starting out

#

also any suggestions for qol etc mods

small geyser Sep 3, 2024, 1:36 PM

#

I have no idea what I've actually done differently this time, but my ONI colony is nearing cycle 200 and I've not entered a death spiral yet

#

The past ~50 cycles have been rather painful because I was very reliant on natural gas power and my natural gas geyser went dormant, so I was scrambling around mining a bit of coal, producing and burning large amounts of ethanol (this creates an absolutely ridiculous amount of CO2, which nearly suffocated that base), and of course spending a ton of dupe labour on hamster wheels.

#

But the nat gas is on again, so I can now run the radbolt collectors again, so I can do material science research again, so I now have glass manufacturing and renewable power researched. Going to tame a volcano and start building solar panels.

ashen urchin Sep 3, 2024, 1:40 PM

#

Did you learn that you need to grab as much hydrogen as you can while it's not dormant? :v

small geyser Sep 3, 2024, 1:46 PM

#

I think what I really learned is that I need to switch over to renewables, lol. On one planetoid that should be no problem - it has 5 metal volcanoes. The other will be a bit trickier, but it does have a magma biome so maybe I can set up some kind of continuous steam plan there.... 🤔

#

And of course solar panels at both, though that will also need some protection from meteors.

#

I am harvesting all my hydrogen; I suppose I could disable the hydrogen generators while the nat gas is on, but I'm sure I don't generate enough right now to last through the nat gas dormancy.

#

Re: frosty planets, no idea, I haven't tried it yet. I do have Spaced Out, which is fun and cool but also bumps up the complexity a fair bit. I'd recommend it, but I also don't think you need it to play a good game.

#

I haven't done a whole lot with them yet in this run, but the mod doesn't give you any better power efficiency. Power use scales with what they're set to, you just get adjustable cooling setting now. You can build something that does the same as the reverse cycle using radiant piping, but it would take up more space.

top level had the dropper container to put eggs in and a box to sweep eggshell out

and then there's a spot that's like

E is a storage box to sweet eggshells into

#

D is a dropping box that dupes put eggs into

#

the eggs fall into the water

#

X are wall tiles

#

S is the sweeper

#

W is liquid

#

I forget exactly the tile config, but the idea is extra eggs drop in there and they become meat.

#

dupes can't reach in there for infinite dump loops

and the sweeper removes meat into kitchen (usually directly to the left)
