can you cook with Pemmican in the game like you can in real life?

No it's treated as a prepared meal.

O_o odd, given it is typically cooked to my knowledge (though you can eat it raw)

I'm not sure it was actually cooked until settlers started eating it and complained that it tasted like pemmican.

Bashkire is an abrasive gay man who dislikes women. He's always in a sour mood because the straight men in the colony don't return his advances and he keeps insulting women because he's a dick. Between those two factors he keeps getting into fistfights with people who are REALLY good at punching. My instinct was to remove his jaw so he couldn't talk but the fort is in between crises so I got creative and built a hunting lodge for troubled pawns to vacation to when they need some space.

It sleeps two couples contains two bows, a shotgun, and a rifle. The freezers allow occupants to store the meat from what they shoot and the wood burning stove let's them cook it. There's a manual tailor's workbench for a bit of leatherworking and a wood generator to keep the lights on. Even though it's 10F outside the geyser keeps it 70 inside. If anyone manages to get hypothermia the vents can be opened and closed to increase the temperature inside to 90 until the chill gets worked out of their bones. Something to fiddle with to stave off the boredom that comes with a late game colony.

Woah. Any mods, or has it just been that long since I've played Rimworld?

[SOLDIER First]

I'm thinking a few mods, since I've never seen vents or small freezers like that in the newest alpha.

The refrigerated meat storage and the 1x1 equipment racks are modded.  The rest is pure vanilla.

It would be hilarious if you could cook meat by leaving it in a really hot room. I know that temperatures can get high enough for flammable stuff to spontaneously combust, so it would be cool to use a geyser to steam stuff if you don't have a good cook.

[Broseph Stalin]

I do like that hospital sleeping spot next to the steam geyser.

'Broke your leg did you? OFF TO THE STEAMING ROOM!'

It's really just for warming up after getting hypothermia. My only real injury in the lodge was one of my pawns getting mauled by a grizzly and for that I brought them into the actual base.

Lots and lots of mods, RedistHeat adds a bunch of temperature stuff but also makes vents less obnoxious. The freezers lockers and wood pallets are from expanded storage.  The lockers are 2x1 like equipment racks and I don't know if they have any merits besides looking cool. Edit: Also the reason everything is lit up is because of ceiling lights which are not vanilla.

The geyser actually set the first hunting lodge on fire, hence the vents in the back. Tragically cooking like that isn't possible but I've been toying with designs for a waste disposal furnace.

[SOLDIER First]

...Wait, how do they get into the sleeping spot?

[Broseph Stalin]

...Wait, how do they get into the sleeping spot?

They don't, that's actually vestigal. The door made it harder to control the temperature. I realized that I could just close the back vents and open the front vents wider but never got around to removing the sleeping spot. .

What's the deal with medkits, are they only increasing treatment chance and some other small things as per the wikipedia? Or do I absolutely need them for surgeries? There's an ingame message telling me I should ensure I have the relevant supplies. Tools, analgesics, antibiotics - all in one? Or can I do without and still get the same effect if the guy is skilled enough?

I'm no big fan of the one-kit-does-it-all system. There should be different drugs for different purposes, and ideally a medical desk to assist in determining disease or infection cause and so on, and then based on that apply the right medicine where herbal, normal, and glitterworld ideally would be different tiers.

A lot of diseases get treated only by doctoring, when they shouldn't. Asthma, for example, should require herbal treatment minimum.

There's a drug system proper in the works, apparently. You need at least Herbal for surgeries - presumably for the sedatives - but otherwise, they only increase odds of succeeding AFAIK.

Asthma doesn't require medicine, I think, because it would make it not worth taking as a disability. It doesn't do much and would quickly whittle down your medicine stash for little gain.

[FantasticDorf]

But what about medicine that applies a long term suppression of the disease? We can sort of reason it with 'future tech'.

My colony just went up in flames and everybody died.

Having three pyromaniacs and only two people capable of firefighting is a total nightmare.

I haven't been accepting any pyromaniacs in my colony for exactly this reason. We got one who joined automatically, but he was summarily executed after a fire he set led to the deaths of two people.
