If it was possible to make pets wear personal shields...

I hope someone mods in DUNE-rules personal shields. If anything shoots it, kaboom!

[Yoink]

We survived the mechanoids with a little help from some EMP grenades I had lying around from a pirate raid long ago.
Also an EMP mortar that I built. I wish I'd known how useless EMP mortars were before I wasted resources building one. >.>

That colonist I posted about causing trouble a while ago died, for good this time since I wasn't about to savescum to save him again.
He went berserk after being imprisoned for a while (the idiot kept refusing to re-join the colony for some reason), attacked a fox, and when I ordered someone nearby to try and knock him out he dropped dead, same as before. Guy must have had one hell of a glass jaw.


Speaking of foxes, I just noticed upon loading the game that one of our newest fox kits/cubs/whatever is named "Godlessness". O.o
This critters are weird. Or are my colonists the ones really coming up with these names? Who knows.

 Thats one of the really nice things about CR, mortars with different rounds they can launch.

[Yoink]

Ffffff.

Well. Yet another reason I intend to try out that mod with my next colony.
Speaking of "next colony", this one is proving to be really durable. I turned up the difficulty and everything. Maybe it'll get stomped by a sudden raid as soon as I unpause this morning, who knows.

did they remove all the ammo and weight stuff?

[Aseaheru]

 Nope, thats still all in. Its because of that that you dont need three mortars to do the job of one and shotguns are amazing 70% of the time.

[Urist McScoopbeard]

CR shotguns kick ass. Long hallways and a competent militia turn any enemy into paste.

[Aseaheru]

Just make sure noones ass is infront of their fellows. Friendly fire isint.

Raiders showed up, managed to kill a couple of colonists. Didn't take too much care with the defence, maybe, since I'm pretty keen to start a new colony with mods and what-not. Still a shame, especially since they didn't seem to take any real, major wounds.

This 'hidden health bar' business is beginning to get on my nerves. I'm guessing CR fixes/lessens that?   

[Aseaheru]

 It changes it slightly due to its changes of bodyparts, but its still there.

Question:I know military helmets are slightly less protective than Kevlar helmets, but military helmets can also be made out of anything, like plateel. Does making a plasteel military helmet change it's protectiveness, or only its durability?

Mods are toggled in the menu, right?
Is it possible to download mods, enable them and start a new, modded game whilst still keeping your old, un-modded save?
If you disable all mods before loading said save, will the game still be unaffected by mods? How does that work?

Kinda thinking of just storing my current, first colony away and starting a new modded one, rather than semi-deliberately running poor Snoutfell (I don't know, I was put on-the-spot to come up with a name all of a sudden) into the ground so I can start a new colony and play with all these mods I've heard so much about.

...For that matter, how does adding mods to an existing game work? Is that possible?

I can't confirm if this is the same for all kind of mods, but I know that there are a few which requires you to edit the save file in order to enable mods for those. No idea if this also works for mods like Combat Overhaul and stuff

Rimworld has all sorts of information you can look-up in-game.  You should be able to highlight some raw plasteel and click on the fancy looking ' i ' button found at the bottom left of the screen.  It should list the statistical modifiers somewhere in one of the tabs.

Yes, I believe Plasteel changes protectiveness. 

EDIT: @Mods
Most are plug and play, others require a new game for you to see the features.  Some modders are kind enough to say if their mods do or don't require a new game to work or partially work.

Short answer(s): Yes. And yes.

Long answer: there's no reason the game would overwrite older saves without your knowledge, each save is independent of each other. Disabling a mod is the same as not having it installed in the first place, so it shouldn't matter if you're playing an old save without mods and you disable all mods.
