Ah sorry I misunderstood.

IIRC, I've seen ones at or over 5000. Over 2k was rather common.

Alpha 12! Animal taming/training! Furniture moving! Hype!

Also the last update for a while.  Ty is taking a vacation thing, so development will be halted after this, and then when he gets back he'll have to make a new version which takes more time.  So this will be the version to work on long-term colonies and megaprojects.

Won't there be a lot of potentially major bugs in such a big release, without following bugfix releases?

I'd assume he isn't taking off this very instant.

He's pushed to get this release out early so there can be bugfixes in before he leaves.  But this general release will be the last big update for several months.  So time to get your long-game hat on.

Boomalope explode about the same as a mortar, and can be set to 'release' combat, where the colonist tells them who to attack and they go forth and engage melee.

 Animal breeding seems to be non-existent currently... Which means the breading pairs of alpacas (tamed), hares and wargs I gathered where useless.

Took a while but I have a baby muffalo, so it does happen.

Did you buy your wargs?

[kilakan]

ptw and say this game is awesome.

Yep. Exotic traders are amazing.

Whist I never want to compare anything to DF - this really is coming on in leaps and bounds. Each time I go to the dev blog I see a huge chunk of colony simulation being rolled out.

What I'm most interested in though is once they get done with the 'standard simulation stuff' things like animals and traps and things are fine, but I'd love them to make it a bit more 'sci-fi'. Currently it's a bit too standard colony build for me at the moment. I thoroughly enjoy it, I just hope they take some risks/get adventurous with it.

Robots, we want robots! Ways to build 'em, hack 'em, become 'em!

Designing and building simple cargo servitors to haul stuff and cleanbots to clean shouldn't be that hard. With the occasional hazard of them going berserk, of course - or being hacked and enslaved by evil AI.

there are mods that put the colony foot quite more in the sci fi territory:

but I agree the more they expand the human side the more starts to resemble prison architect - I liked more the "colony lite" ambient that rimworld had when it started, it was easy to get the basic running and then you could build on top of that to your survival/escape, but now getting the basic down requires dozen of interlocked systems and all the details on that part steal a lot of focus on what you're actually supposed to be doing (escaping? dunno anymore what endgame is)
