Hadn't noticed this chatter.  It'll be interesting.  Is it known if we can explore into other sites, or will it mostly be a behind the scenes type of implementation?

Glad to see this thread back up and running.

Is anyone playing with hardcoresk modpack? I'm dying to raids 89% of the time, mostly because they just blow up my walls while ignoring doors (even when they are open), which makes traps almost completely useless, not sure if this is an intended behavior or not. Early game has been pretty brutal so far. On my best try I barely got to gunpowder with 6 or 7 colonists, before Randy decided that it's time to throw everything he's got at me: coldsnap, meteor shower, infestation, abomination (didn't proc prior to that so I ignored the warning and got caught off-guard) and raid/siege with little to no time between them.

Also, how do you make cheese?

For anyone that might not have noticed, a non-CCL version of Combat Realism had been released during the thread lock.

I do find it funny that a LOT of the mod creators are stopping progress until the next update (good reason to... as well).

I will say that having skimmed through the Rimworld mods I do notice a lot of variety in what they have to offer in terms of quality and balance.

Rimworld might have restored my faith in mods because it DOES have worthwhile balanced mods that aren't trying to be special snowflakes.

And it DOES have stupid special snowflake mods that are unbalanced and dumb... And the ones that are slight fixes I never if ever deal with.

Yet why does the special snowflake mods annoy me especially? because they are popular. They are broken messes and are popular... in fact more popular then the well balanced, well made, thoughtful mods...

I'd LOVE combat realism if it played nice with any mod that adds weapons... (unless they updated it and somehow it does now)

And unfortunately I like Rimsenal too much to ever give it up... Because it is the only... well... series of mods that actually fills in the completely absent sci-fi element of the game.

[Retropunch]

Really looking forward to the new patch. My problem with Rimworld is the same as late game DF - you can basically get to a point where you're completely self sustaining and there's nothing to do other than amass extra stuff for no reason. If you turn up the difficulty with mods and whatever, it normally just makes early game really hard, but do nothing when you get to that level.

External goals/being able to take over the world would add a huge amount of extra enjoyment to the mid to late game - you'd have a reason to stockpile and keep things self sufficient.

So I just acquired this game a few days ago, I must say, I have been having a blast.

Frozen eggs still hatching is silly though, and something I hadn't accounted for. How on earth are my 6 guys supposed to butcher all those 89 emus before they eat all my food

Also, does anyone else think the game's dev should meet up with the factorio team and add endless map generation like factorio has (and multiplayer)

[ChairmanPoo]

Tried the modpack before. Seems way too kitchen sink-y for me to enjoy.

That's my main gripe with modpacks. Lots of stuff that work together... but you dont necessarily like all, or even most of them.

I prefer to pick my mods one by one and hope for the best.

Prepare carefully's a must though.

[Chiefwaffles]

I don't use Prepare Carefully myself because it feels like one of the most OP mods out there. I'm not going to judge anyone who uses it, but it feels like using it just eliminates part of the "fun" of Rimworld - of dealing with what you get at the start instead of min-maxing your colonists.

[Mephansteras]

I like it for setting up specific scenarios. Like my Pirate colony.

Love it too, for preparing my initial colonists to how I want them rather than 'random people I may be disconnected with due to jumbled traits'.

Although I've been experiencing a difficulty proportion rise x_x I think it's based on scenario editing starting researches--bandits galore in just 10 days+! Just because I wanted to set 'bionics' to learned :v
Really wonder how the difficulty scaling is.

Also another thing: Finally reached Ship design! ...I was surprised that it was a literal skeleton build that could win, although it's probably a prototype placeholder for future design. And then disappointed when the stockpiles and flooring/walls were left behind, with the outer shell being fully stripped away. That gave a very funny image...if not for the -30C cold and snow rushing in ._.

[Girlinhat]

Yes, the spaceship is built more like the ISS, spindly and thin, rather than the bulky ships we usually think of.  But there's no reason for it to be big.  It's just cryo pods, no one's walking, and if the pods are shielded from radiation then there's no need for extra hull.

There's a few mods for extra ship parts, which are interesting but not important.  Things like hull plates and slopes.

It is just too annoying to randomize again and again until I get a halfway workable team.

I have lost because I was too sturborn to keep randomizing and prompty was killed because I had a pacifist team and that Iguana was particularly hungry that day.

[Girlinhat]

So, with the advance into armies/raiding I'm hoping to set up some type of large-scale production of quality gear.  I'll most definitely be using those 'mine for infinite resources' drills and building some production rooms for things like charge rifles and power armor, or simply longswords and armor vests.  Anyone have advice on how to build rooms/setups to produce gear?

[martinuzz]

Sadly, the deep drills aren't infinite. They do deplete the deposits.

Can we get a link to the CCL-free CR? I missed playing rimworld.

Sadly, CR requires guns to use ammunition, which is what breaks most gun mods. You could probally make it so that the Rimsenal guns use some sorta round fairly easily*, and go with that.

_{*theoretical. Aseaheru is not a coder, and is guessing on the assumption that you could copy-paste some stuff and edit one or three things}

-edit-

Linky to CCL free CR. Which has apparently been out for two weeks. Two. Weeks.

* Aseaheru is unsure if they should cry over missing out on it for two weeks or being happy at being able to play alpha 15 with it
