Yeah, I just had 3 people break down into berserk rages in a single season. It's waaaay too excessive. Depression that often, sure, I can see that. But berserk? That's just not reasonable.

The psychology mod seems to help some. I get a lot of compulsive cleaners and dazed walkers now, moreso than berserkers, anyway.

But yes, berserk is far to common in vanilla. It's like running a colony full of clones of the columbine kids.

I had this one guy, total Korben Dallas Space Marine type, lived through all of it, even through the founder of the colony dying (Shia LeBeouf.) He was awesome, except... Every time he had a break it was like a 90% chance that he would go on a fire starting spree. Literally, he almost burned down that colony maybe 25 times.

You know, that's why I think that kind of response should be rare and preferably trait-based. Because having this one really awesome colonist with a bad trait like that can make for great stories. When your doctor, chef, artist, and animal trainer are all as likely to start trying to kill everyone every time they get unhappy as your trigger happy soldier it just makes for a dead colony, not an interesting story.

How do you create turrets with the Combat Realism mod?

I've researched them, but they're not under the machining table's list, nor the security tab at all. Only approach I can see is to buy turrets.


check the machining table should craft them like furniture now

Some of the turrets are broken with my mix of mods, but I'm certain that it's the ones added by more vanilla turrets, and that Combat Realism is the mod breaking them.

 You need to do some research for them.

 Also, do you have CR defense?

Was not aware that that was a thing.

Yah, CR would break any turrets not meant for it. Everything needs ammo.

You can add it to the same game, though it may require a bit of developer mode to get them to click into place.

With CR no turret ever shows up under security, save for the mortar. Its just manufacture at a bench than install, or buy from a trader then install.

Got back into the game after so long.
Tried playing on Cassandra Challenging and got like 3 raids in a row with 1h of gameplay (maybe I pissed off pirates by rescuing too many people), so a raid with three times my population came in right when everyone was injured, depressed or on berserk. RIP.

Then I played Phoebe Challenging which might be my favorite mode. I did the Rich Loner game start which is cool but feels cheatsy. Got up to 6 people when I had my first Toxic Fallout, and damn..had to slaughter all my 4 trained boars, and cannibalize two Raiders. At that point, raids were life saving since they'd bring in a day or two of food. As a bonus, everybody had malaria, flu, and would go berserk since animals were being slaughtered and people were starving.
When the fallout ended, somehow everyone survived by a notch.. then my Cook died due to infection in a wound he got from a fight with my character..and my own character almost died from infection too.

Still, I think it was the coolest experience I've had with the game. I had zero provisions and preparation, poor defences, and somehow everyone would have survived if I had noticed the cooks infection.  ::)

I so wish Rimworld was more like DF in the sense of more realistic threats. Cassandra spawns way too many things out of thin air, and even though Phoebe makes it more bearable, sometimes it's just not challenging enough. I don't follow development, so it might be heading there and I just don't knkw it. :P

It honestly feels like a lot of their problems came from the fact that their entire team was composed of cats, and the people who were supposed to be herding them were also cats.

We have a new version, now with drugs. I haven't had time to play it properly, but I immediately found a bunch of Luciferium when digging my first dwarven-style base. I've noticed that there is a high chance of your initial colonists being junkies of one kind or another, too.

 Would be nice if they had added a few more variations on drugs or booze. Ahwell.

 Hey, you know what would be really cool to see? procedurally generated weapons, so instead of just "SMLE" it could be "bolt action rifle made out of an assault rifle", even if it was just cosmetic thanks to the rather... simplistic combat system. Because really, its been 3,500+ years years. Someone would have bastardized that sorta thing out into the worlds. Particularly with all the planets that fall back into the stone age for one reason or another in the lore we have gotten.

We are missing stuff like flintlock muskets too. I imagine those would be a lot easier to make with improvised technology than rifled weapons with a mechanical lock.

Wonder why the main branch still doesn't have robots? Cleaning and hauling robots are such an obvious addition to the game.
