Oh no! The enemy trapped us in a sealed chamber with only a gas vent by the floor!

So the next update is letting gas pass through vents.

Is putting a bong on the other side of a vent and getting an invading army incredibly stoned so that they move and fight slower considered a war crime?

It's only a war crime if you put a stack of poisoned cookies in the next room

Sounds more like a service to me.

Perhaps this is Sylvester explicitly acknowledging the hotbox style of defense. And then he can nerf the hell out of it without breaking everything else.

Got informed that if I accepted a quest to save a dude two waves would spawn.

I wasn't in the best position, but it seemed manageable and he had useful skills, so I accepted.

I get to the end of the quest... and two waves spawn at once.
Shit.
The first wave is impids, and 75% of my strength (since my tree pruner who had like 3 clawers died to plague) is my vampire who is afraid of fire.
Double shit.

Wait, they are from factions that are enemies! Aw yeah. Kill each other bitches.

I pop a few shots off, but I mostly let them fight to the death... at which point about two thirds of the impids remain.
They knock all my dudes but one out, and decide to kidnap my KOed dudes. They get one off the map. My last awake dude drops his gun and runs the final dude holding my vampire down on foot about five tiles from the exit.
I rescue him, and the rest of my knocked out dudes. Everyone aside from a kid I have is pretty badly injured, but my awake dude has fast clotting so he's 100% fit and ready to treat the other two. One is dead in a few hours, and the other is a vampire with a single bleeding wound (and a bunch of burn wounds).

Luckily they all get back in time, and the (lethal in 4 hours) wounds on my one dude are all bandaged and everyone is fine.
Well, except one tiny wound is left, at which point my doctor has a mental breakdown and slips into a coma.

I am then forced to watch over three days as the people with super tiny bleeding wounds that stop them from recovering just sit there unfed.
One starves to death, my vampire slips into a deathrest coma (because he is ya know, starving to death) and then finally my third dude who IS STILL IN A GODAMN COMA starves to death.

The child just sits around watching them slowly starve to death. Ugh.

Luckily everything in my new colony is going *much* smoother. The map is better, I got better luck with pawns, pretty much all my professions are filled, and things are just working out better in general.

Huh, I wonder if new update will make gas system more modable as well. 1.4 completely removed ability to add custom gases (at least without significant coding) which forced me to deprecate some of my mods.

Yeah the loss of the Farts mod leaves a big absence in my heart

Wait they removed that? So something like Pawnmorpher can't have the mutagenic gas bombs now? Sad.

What is that bloats old saves so much? Space playtrough that i posted screens of few pages back took about 20 years to complete, and by that time fourth speed was equal to first, and save loading time was equal to initial loading time. In addition to semi-related enormous amount of bugs springing up from nowhere. My only guess is records of "statue" events, but even if it is a thing, it probably doesn't affect TPS.

[Dostoevsky]

From what I've read on the dubs discord, save bloat and performance loss are mostly separate phenomena. That is, a larger save file doesn't necessarily slow down gameplay tps. (A bigger save file will slow down game load, though.)

Regardless, bloat is apparently just because Rimworld keeps records of basically everything from the world that's made, and clears very little of it. E.g. that one design of that one statue you made 15 years ago is still kicking around in the data. RuntimeGC will clean up your save and reduce file size, but its aggression in doing so can clear records/pawns you may not have wanted vaporized.

Rocketman is for improving overall performance, but there are also known performance hogs. Save Our Ship 2 was one of the most notorious ones, though it sounds like it's getting an internal rework / performance pass for the 1.4 version? I've never used it, so just going on hearsay.

Guess i'll have to get a XML editor.

Stumbled on Xeva faction mod. Probably won't play with it, but cheesy engrish weapon decriptions are entertaining, at least.

I must say, Ideology is pretty fun so far.
Enjoying a playthrough with perma-stoned transhumanist tree cannibals

[Great Order]

Techno-elves then?

[martinuzz]

I am in the process of giving them all pawntech ears.
Also, tamed thrumbos are just slightly OP.

[martinuzz]

Haha.
My blind salamander (vanilla expanded caves mod) developed a royal jelly addiction (not sure if vanilla or vanilla expanded insectoids).
It didn't get anymore royal jelly, and now the lack of it has turned it into a (tame) megaspider.
Awesome. I can create an army of megaspiders by turning harmless small critters into drug addicts.

[scriver]

That's vanilla expanded I believe, they have a special jelly that drops from some insectoids that do that
