Cry me a river, casual. Rimworld is Dwarf Fortress for the Reddit audience.
so prison architect meets DF?
is it worth playing?
either way i'm not grabbing it at 30 bucks but I'll put it on my list and wait to 15~20 if it's good.
>>345451956
Dwarf Fortress is an indie game is a F2P indie mess of coding that is a decade old.
It took a DECADE for someone else to make a mildly more aesthetic, similar game.

Dwarf Fortress is a game that has actual complexity. Rimworld is not. To get any decent level of challenge out of that crap heap, you have to mod it to oblivion.
It manages to look better than Dwarf Fortress, but cuts out 95% of the depth and interesting things about it.
The art style is quite literally the one in favor over at Reddit. The game is casualised, as they like it there. The game is pushed mainly by youtube letsplayers who, surprise surprise, cater mainly to reddit.

>>345453089
A14 disabled half of bad events by mistake. A14b re-enabled them. Welcome to Rimworld.
Rimworld is basically for normal people who want to have fun. It sure as shit isn't worth more than ten dollars though, same as Prison Architect.
Gentle reminder that the reason people say Dwarf Fortress is for autists is because you genuinely need to be autistic to enjoy it. It has nothing to do with complexity or difficulty, it's a simple game that's extremely easy to get into it. Without autism and a lower than average IQ (autists always seem to think they're geniuses for playing Dwarf Fortress, which is adorable) you won't enjoy Dwarf Fortress.

>>345453012
immunity is built based on the following factors: bed rest; medicine quality ; doctor skill (the treatment itself provides a boost when successful but still applies medicine quality when failed) and I think nutrition mood and tiredness have some effect too
without medicine it'll almost always kill you
with herbal medicine you need a good doctor or full time bedrest
with regular medicine you can sometimes get away with letting them work normally
with glitterworld medicine you should build immunity fast enough to have them do everything they normally do
For things like parasites and sensory mechanites it takes like... 10 successful treatments to go away
This is not something that happens quickly. Your doctors will inevitably fuck it up enough times it may as well be a permanent affliction
This game has beautiful (and terrible) disease mechanics

I was really bothered by the lack of content, the game has almost no equips or item tiers, really, once you learn how to survive there's basically nothing to do.

I played all day and already burnt out
>>345458229
More like stop mentioning DF.
>>345458794
nah; you just dont know what you're doing
I'm enjoying the game a lot. Have a small colony of 6 working well, that is until I introduced hops and brewing...
Now my herbalist gardener goes on drinking binges every night, strips naked, and tries to wander off and needs to get dragged to bed. I have plenty of food, working freezer now, getting production going and gonna finally smelt down slag chunks. That is if I can keep my addicts in line.
Loving the game so far, but amazed that there's so little discussion of a game that allows for a lot of creativity and emergent gameplay. The Dev admits he's inspired by DF and used Prison Architects art with their blessing, so bitching about that is just.... well I dunno, I guess you're an inconsolable douche then.
>>345459159
You'll learn to hate the game once your well-working colony gets fucked over instantly by an event that's impossible to predict and counter without knowing that it exists

It struck, I just built out corridors to all my important shit, constructed an indoor hydroponics garden, switched to vegan meals and built trios of sentry turrets at the important junction of things.
There's a mod out there that adds Hazmat and Enviroment suits to the game nowadays.

Eh, I doubt that will be a complete turn off since a big part of this game is just trying to survive the unpredictable.
I've started and lost probably 4 colonies so far just from losing to shit I didn't anticipate. I'm enjoying more of the journey than the end result in this game. I have no expectations of "winning" or any shit like that. It's kinda like those Buddhist sand paintings they spend lots of time doing meticulous work only to wipe it away in a few seconds. Reminds you to enjoy the impermanence of life.

It doesn't have best graphics for a base building game.
It is not the most complex base building game.
It does not have the most content.
But the mix of everything turns out to be a really good game. It hit the spot.
The dev is a clever guy when it comes to making an emotionally engaging game. He even wrote a book about it.

>buyers remorse
I waited years to finally buy the game m8, i always pirated the game until the steam version came out.
I must have 100+ hours or so, Dwarf Fortress i must have around the same hours and i enjoy more playing Rimworld.
How do I incapacitate people so I can capture them? I found 4 cryo chambers in the first day and out popped 4 people with heavy weaponry, 3 of them are non-violent while I just swarm the 4th guy with melee fists.
I've beat them down several times now with just my fists and each time they just end up dead.
>>345472051
why wait for the steam version?
why not buy it before?
>>345472303
Just draft someone with wardening, then right click and try to arrest them.
>>345472425
Dunno man, even with the DRM and all of that, i always liked keeping my games in a single place.
So i just did that, i waited till the steam version to shell out dosh, also i never liked to pay with my credit card outside of steam.
>>345472303
Not 100% sure but I think it's a chance based on their injuries. They need to downed with a little ! next to them, then you gotta select a colonist then right click the downed guy and select capture.
Keep in mind you need a small bed designated for prisoners to capture.
>>345463023
Don't compare it to banished, that game sucked because stronghold is better in every way
this game is like a better version of fallout shelter, much better
>>345470439

>>345450805
Anyone have some tips on how to get started? Everything seems to go so slowly. Not sure what needs to be focused on first.
>>345473652
Tribe is pretty neat. I got a lot more done in the first day than I would've with a crashed ship
>>345473652
>>345473789
Should I just carve out rock and make rooms, or should I try and actually build structures?
>>345473652
Recommend starting with a team with one person able to do construction, one with growing, and one with research for the basic essentials.
I'd say build early buildings with wood since it's more plentiful and grows back. Save your steel for more advanced stuff a bit later, such as power. Mining will likely yield more steel, but not super fast. I felt mining takes longer for rooms, but you reduce fire risk.
I'd experiment with settlement lay out, but keep in mind raids and shit come from all directions of the map, so keep that in mind.
>>345473954
both
carve out when room is tight behind your walls; build structures when it is not (because building is much, much faster than mining)
build your walls out further if you have to
try to avoid building on farmable land too much; you dont need to stress about it but you do need a decent farm preferably inside your walls
>>345473652
Also, there is a speed button on the bottom right. I often play at max speed since it slows down or pauses when raids show up
>>345474487
its so nice playing tribal and being able to start with mining/growing/social/hunting/research without feeling like you're cheating
>>345474634
Yeah I'll have to try it out. This weekend was my first time playing Rimworld so I went vanilla first since I didn't know shit. Loving the game so far and I could see myself pouring a lot of hours into this.
May try out a more difficult landing that doesn't have year round crop growth just to push the challenge some, that and raise difficulty from Base builder to Rough
>>345473789

>>345475553
rip
I like both DF and RW. No need for this autism guys, just stop.
Fact is DF is so complex and good andfunthat whenever I sit down and play something that copies it, like RW, it just reminds me how little they copy the complexity.
For example the biggest down falls for Rimworld is it's just one flat Z level. One Z level. You can't dig down at all or build up. Your entire colony is entirely 2D while Dwarf Fortress is fully 3D with hundreds of layers of stone and having fortresses with 100 dwarves is like a standard session.
I like both, but I wish RimWorld had more complexity and things to do. It's too easy to reach the stage where your colony is unkillable and thriving and nothing is exciting anymore. Not to mention no hands or legs is just silly.
I just picked the game up again though. It has been more than a year since I played it last. I did one play session yesterday and noticed a few new things like taming animals and training them, but other than that they have added very little to the game from the looks of it.
Even DF has bigger yearly updates than RW, like what is their excuse? There are no seasons in RW either. No harsh winters or anything.
>>345452497
Fallout is a game that has actual complexity. Fallout 4 is not. To get any decent level of challenge out of that crap heap, you have to mod it to oblivion.
It manages to look better than Fallout, but cuts out 95% of the depth and interesting things about it.

>>345456747
I didnt even realize you could cure the mechanites
>>345476415
It's a mechanical worm. It literally kills people in single hits and takes a billion hits to kill. If you don't own some EMP grenades or advanced weapons, expect death. You can take it out with some weak SMG fire from cover, but you need insane luck. Bows do nothing to it. Melee does nothing to it. EMP grenades rape it.
All worms have charge lasers that are basically like long range snipers.
does rimworld have Z levels?
>>345476971
No
and very likely will never ever have them
RimWorld is one flat Z level. You don't even need to combine materials to make steel, you just mine it and that's it.
>>345476229

Playing with the single-colonist mode feels super fun, though I find myself wanting to generate a guy with either mining or construction first and pray I get a well-balanced second guy.

I got a sweet ass assault rifle; a pistol; 100 gold a psychic shock lance animal pulser and sooth pulser as well as 4 caskets
I had a save before opening the wall I could've used to just leave it for later; I'm glad I opened it now.
How the fuck do you keep people happy? I made a guy a 4x5 room with a bed, torch, statue, potted plant, chess board, and tiled floor, and he still hated it and kept going psycho. Nobody even uses the chess board.

Why do they keep cleaning sidewalks? They're just going to get dirty again.

I thought with the new patch if raiders can't safely camp out to attack you due to temperature, they just don't spawn anymore, or so the patch notes are saying.

Is there a "not a pussy" trait?

Yeah, its cannibal and psychopath.
Dorf Fort is a meme game. All you do is make a wall around your fort entrance plus a drawbridge over a pit, a winding path filled with traps, and some hammerdwarves and you're ready for just about anything. For your economy, just spam mugs and toys and you can buy ANYTHING from the caravan. Farming is dead simple and metal working is basically just a bit of micromanagement. The only challenge to the game is if you make it challenging forcefully with your embark location. The game is ridden with bugs and eventually you will lose due to FPS death. The amount of FEATURES in the game aren't really that much. It's more like detail bloat that doesn't add up to much except more FPS death. Considering this game has been in development for nearly a decade, the amount of progress made is pretty low. You could sit nearly any competent programmer down for a decade and he'll probably have something much better than DF. Think of the hundreds of games that have come out in the decade, some of them being made by small teams or one person.
DF lacks direction and suffers from bugs, FPS death, and needless bloat that aren't actual features. Rimworld might be neat in a few years as a game with actual direction and concrete gameplay.

But there are seasons?
Is the game worth picking up?
>>345484861
>>345485304
Yeah, this is the one thing I don't like about Rimworld. Your colonists are huge pussies. Come on guy, you've been out here for three years and you've killed 52 people and you still get upset over having to defend yourself from bloodthirsty marauders.I wish after a while your colonists just mentally harden up.

Nope. I think maybe it's planned but I don't know.

Anyways rimjob sucks I'd rather play other reddit games
>>345486223
1. People make games with actual direction and features that are important.

I believe lore wise the "rimworld" you are on was already settled thousands of years beforehand by some other civilization. Something happened to that civilization and the steel you mine is just remnants of that civilization's buildings. It's still far fetched.

Mountainous Boreal forests make the best colonies in my opinion
Fucking grizzly bears and cougars coming by to fuck shit up and attack colonists who wish to tame them. Fuck huge forests teeming with wildlife for making a cozy little mountainside village inside, long and deadly winters that make you start preparing for the next one as soon as the snow from the first one starts to melt for a bit of difficulty and mood setting. every season has its own challenges and chores to do, leaving you little room to fuck up lest you get shafted for it later come winter.
I dont understand why people would want to live in jungles at all, i mean, its not like you can go out of your way to make slaves out of the dark-skinned tribals to make a functioning suger-cane plantation for shits and giggles because you cant enslave your prisoners and you cant grow sugercane.
>>345463023
if you dont want to buy it, pirate it.
simple
Water doesn't matter, right? There doesn't seem to be a thirst system yet. I've been building colonies next to lakes/oceans but never seem to need it.
Can you stop rng from fucking you over in this version? I remember playing before and getting raided during solar flare and all my turrets were down, with no way to even protect myself from solar flares.
>>345500220
>>345499469
I have my doubts based on the "setting" of the game. You're survivors of a crashed ship, and the endgame is building a new one and leaving. Games only last roughly 10 years before you're done.
Meaning there's little reason to have children, explore, travel to distant parts of the world, etc.

ITS BEEN ON KAT FOR LIKE TWO DAYS YOU RETARDED NIGGER
Also Ice Sheets suck cock now that you can't amuse yourself watching people instantly die when they set foot on your -120C tile in winter.
So how do you stop wildfires? Lightning struck my land and its progressively burning it to a cinder.
`Holly shit, everything was going bretty good until everybody got malaria and went into a rampage killing each other. Wtf was I supposed to do?
>start as tribals
>they keep freaking out over dead bodies despite being primitive murder machines
>keep getting friendzoned by the females instead of just taking them like a tribal would
Fuck these soft cunts
>>345510459
If it's a big enough fire your colonists will never be able to put it out effectively- after a certain amount of fire is on the map, the game automatically creates rain to extinguish it. Either catch wildfires early, or just allow it to burn up nearby stuff.
>>345510679
Your base comes into factoring that sort of thing a lot. Most people dig into a mountain without building any floors or anything, which'll make their mood plummet. Be sure to base your colonists around your playstyle.. Green thumb trait will give mood boosts, so try to get someone with that if you've got a big farm, etc.
I know the mood mechanic seems shitty and unrealistic to all you new players, but it's a necessary evil- if you don't like it, just roll some psychopath or bloodlust colonists.

Except for all these stupid fucking marshes ruining any building plans holy fuck.

Get some exceptional armor and go melee on their asses. Or use weapons with low rates of fire and high accuracy like snipers.
>>345512470
You need more batteries and need to house them with a divider between each battery.
Also not in a wood building.
>>345518317
What a comfy little hut anon, you better be ready for the raiders, last time I got hit they decided to attack right as a trade caravan was nearby and the survivors were left to bleed out on the front lawn for more than two days before they decided to pack up and leave.

>>345512470
>that many solar panels
>>345518876
Yup, just getting attacked right now.
Luckily, its one guy with a club, and I have a charge rifle.
But yeah, definitely need to start setting up some simple defenses. Ain't gonna be easy surviving in Randy Random's domain with just two people and one gun.
>>345519372
Not that guy but the only reason why I play rimworld over DF is entirely due to the fact that the UI is just too annoying to handle.
Honestly the only thing rimjobs needs is height mapping and global map travel with vehicles and shit.
>>345520036
DF's UI is just tricky to learn, once you're familiar with it, you're only 2-4 keyboard presses from anything you want.
I played Rimworld at like Alpha .11 or something. Can you build your own guns yet?
Wasnt there a mod that expanded on the power generation devices by making the material used to construct them influence the amount of power generated?
Anyone know what I'm talking about?
How the FUCK do you deal with those annoying bug nests that show up in mines for no reason
>>345520605
Yes, you can build weapons and armors, including power armor. If your colonists have high enough crafting skills they can make artwork weapons and armors.
Rimjobs is admittedly shallow compared to dorfs, but hopefully that'll change with time. I really like the art system they have.
>>345521538
I still think it looks awful. Sure it's better than DF but that doesn't make it great. I just like the feeling it has. Also people saying it needs z levels aren't quite right, it doesn't need DF style 150+ levels, it might just need +-2 from the surface so you can at least build basements or little structures with floors.
>>345521763
I don't disagree, that prison architect look it has isn't doing it for me either.
I wish it had some more charming artwork like factorio, a game that has excellent visuals in my opinion.

Changing clothes is a good touch, but no limbs in a game where limbs can be removed is a bit irritating. The style itself is fine though, the worlds, structures and whatnot all look fine.
do people heal even when not treated by a doctor?
i'm down to 2 colonists after a sniper killed 2, one is starving to death in a hospital bed right now and there's nothing I can do about it since my other colonist can't feed her
I busted open some ancient ruins in hope to find nigs and I managed to find one, forgot I didn't have a doctor though so he got shot once or twice
pls help is there a chance he'll recover if I put him in a hospital bed?

This is lovely

Fuckers would rather have their organs carved out than join my colony ;_;

Why can't you feed them?
If its because nobody is qualified, click the work tab and switch somebody to the necessary work skill.
Even 0 is better than nothing.

New guy arrived.
He has the beautiful trait.
15 year old already getting cockblocked by this big beautiful hunk of man meat, as the naked girl he saved attempts to woo the wall of flesh.
Poor kid never stood a chance.
Can someone give me a quick summary of what rimworld is? Is it as stressful as the beginning days of dont starve? or is it a mix of stressful and satisfying, like when you get your shit down to a science in banished?
What facilities are needed for a prisoner area?
I'm in a temperate area so I'm unsure if I need cooling or heating for prisoners.
I want to retrofit this starting area as a prison once I'm done building the area I want to live in, maybe even harvest their organs for a profit and maybe I can use the cryo chambers to put injured people that I don't want to heal but I want to harvest them later.
>>345524337
The latter, although the former can still happen depending on the biome you choose to build your base in, and what difficulty and Story AI you choose.
Its a mix of Dorf Fortress Lite and Prison Architect.
>>345524348
Literally just an enclosed room and a sleeping spot, doesn't even have to be a bed
>>345524348
you only need beds or designed sleeping spots, but they have to be indoors and that room can only contain beds for prisones, it is also a good idea to keep the prison next to the hospital since most prisones will be wounded when you capture them
>>345524348
Only put coolers/heaters if they're going to die of the elements otherwise
>>345495128

The most popular mod on the workshop and official site is a menu to choose stats, items, and people to start the game with. and you can save presets

Is this a new thing?
Care to rate/bash my first ever base? A bout with raiders and malaria kinda fucked with my food supplies.

>>345525861
I should, but I can't find any more metal in my biome without doing core sample mining operations. In winter.
This is some Pokemon level events.
is this permanent? researching takes fucking ages with this
>>345526941
I was wondering the same thing. I think it's a down side to being a tribe. Just make sure you got 2 people who are good at research and have 2 tables.

>>345528173
Technology, alien invasions, space related shit. Charge rilfes and such. Combat also can be tactical. You can take cover and shoot and overall the combat is more fun since you can tactically control every individual.

>>345529501
You know what they say.
"Peace through superior firepower."
In all seriousness, two people with sniper rifles and a couple of dudes with shotguns/LMGs set up behind some sandbags. Maybe a mortar if you have it.
this game is making me all tingly inside
>>345529984
>>345530048
I was thinking more low tech, the best weapons i have are the greatbows I started with.
>>345530163
Oh christ. Greatbows have a fairly decent range but I dunno if it's gonna take down a damn megaspider. You may have to wait till your colonists have a bit better kit to take that thing on.
>>345530163
Build a closed room with lots of extra wooden walls and blow up a battery inside, so the walls catch fire.
>>345525205
you should consider putting sandbags around the whole area or in key spots if you have the steel. Sometimes raiders try to break their way in through walls instead of going through doors.
i got a group of bucks angry and now i'm too afraid to go out the door and help the colonist that got hurt hunting them

>>345531483
3. 2 cowering in fear within a mountain cave with a rifle and pistol, and the other slowly bleeding to death outside with her knife
only tonight did i start playing this game but i think i have a good grasp on the basic mechanics

this was the worst fucking game i've ever had, especially since I tried for so long to salvage it only for it to burn and crash just as I fix it
Infestations are broken as fuck
It's basically not even worth mining into mountains because they WILL happen and it WILL fuck you up
>>345531606
Uhh. I guess draft the two colonists and have the dude with the rifle set up far back within range behind some rocks and have the dude with the pistol set up behind some rock chunks close to the bucks. Either do that or let the other person die, or wait the bucks to stop their blood rage. Your call, chief.
Played for like 12 hours yesterday.
I saved a person from raiders and she joined my colony, but her stats were shit so I used her as an organ mule.
I took out her kidney, lung, jaw, both eyes, nose, both ears. I replaced her limbs with wooden ones and then removed them. She's now a kissless, hugless, legless, armless missing a a lot of organs.
She's blind, cant talk, cant walk, cant maniuplute anything and is bed ridden in the hospital. My other colonists have to feed her.
Before I took her legs, she went berserk and tried to kill my colony. Since she didnt have eyes , she coudnt see where to shoot so I had my colonists shoot her and took her back to the hospital.
She was real upset after I took her organs and her arms/legs. Her mood was 'on the verge of breaking' for about 10 days in game. She coudn't though, because she had no arms or legs.
Eventually though, she came around and accepted her fate. She keeps my other colonists company when they get injured and have to go to the hospital. She gives my colonists negative mood because she is 'disfigured' and has 'creepy breathing', but she keeps them company.
Her mood finally went up so I rewarded her. I took off her double eyepatches and replaced them with solid gold eyeballs. They don't allow her to see, but they look cool.
>>345531773
They were added, because dwarfing into a mountain was making the game too easy.

I fucking hate how harvesting organs, or even killing enemy prisoners demoralises your colony.
They're the same people that just stabbed your friends to death because loot or whatever.

They eventually get over it. Lasts like 5 days or so.
Pretty funny to read their health reports though
"Upset about having organs harvested x5 -92"
>>345532264
People compare the game to DF, which is and will always be the Godking opf the genre in terms of depth and content, but it suffers in some other areas, like accessibility, difficulty and presentation, as a result.
Rimworld can't hold a candle to its content, although it's not as shallow as people claim it is, but it plays smooth as fuck and is pretty challenging.

>>345532682
The suffers part is for DF, could have worded it better I guess
>>345532360
Wouldn't mind it if people werentfucking psychic. If you could hide it and use someone who doesn't care to do it it would be great. Then colonists could get suspicious if people disappeared, guy who did it might let it slip if he gets drunk, etc.
So when can we expect it to exit Early Access?

>>345533524

She should Metamorph into an Abomination and eat fucking everyone in his colony.
Goddamn sadist.
I have no idea how to advance. I like building these tiny homes and I wanted to make the edges round for no fucking reason, but I feel like restarting again. Took a long time to actually advance to this stage but I feel like houses was a mistake since I need heaters in each and every one of them.
>>345532134
Give her bionic everything and let her go on a rampage with a minigun
>>345536191
Nah man, continue with your place. Build more power gens or solar panels. Also, always have 30 components so once you research a component station, you can make more.
>>345532990
You dont need that many heaters anonsan, use vents to equalize the temp
>>345536165
Don't hate the player, hate the game. Look at the bright side, I saved her from certain death and she has food and a warm bed to sleep in... forever.
>>345536213
That's the plan, but I dont have that technology yet, so she's going to have to just sit tight. Not like she has an option.

I had a colony like this, with separate houses and wood streets. It's not that hard to keep them warm, you just need a little extra energy. Don't give up!
They make awesome battlefields in raids too - people taking cover and shooting from corners, retreating to inner streets, etc.

What the fuck is a psychic drone and how do I get rid of it?
>>345536864
It's probably 4x hotter then a medium Air conditioner, which could turn a single square exhaust space into 200+ Fahrenheit temperatures.
>>345536950
Use sun lamps. Encase a dirt patch and plop down a heater.
>>345537094
There's two different events afaik, one is a crashed ship part that whill ramp up the psychic barrage over time, you can destroy it with conventional weaponry, but beware. Look around your map if it's this one
The other is just an event that increases or decreases mood for a while, nothing you can do against that one
>>345536731
So what you're saying is
I could set up a bunch of prison beds inside a roam with a geothermal source and...
>>345537094
Put on your tinfoil hats like the conspiracy nut you are
>>345499847
maybe they ought to have a system that scales things that are happening based on their magnitude. alright some minor shit happened BUT YOU ARE STARVING TO DEATH AND THAT IS A LITTLE BIT MORE IMPORTANT and should be your primary concern right now.
>>345536950
Walls, a roof, heater and sun lamp around some dirt.
I recommend you find a big plot of it though. At the very last build the walls around the space a single sun lamp can satisfy.
>>345537230
Or an immunity to 'bad shit happened' that builds up over time like some anon suggested
>>345536731
Since my dumb ass decided to settle into a biome with no growing seasons I find geothermal energy to be insufficient to both heat and power my base.
I've been forced to build a mammoth base to accommodate 11 colonists and half a hundred animals, and I'm still struggling to provide enough food and power despite the fact that I already lost two colonists due to a really bad divorce.
>>345537095
I just encased a nearby Geothermal vent, every burst is increasing the rooms temperature by 75 degrees.
It's up to 200 now in a 4x3 sized room, with it being 20 degrees external temperature
By the way, look for darker soil tiles, they're rich soil and give a growth boost, took me ages tofigure this out

>set up zones/work schedules so he doesnt run into the girl. Make him only work during the night and sleep during the day. Or make him only walk around a specific area away from her.
Anon please I did not come here to feel
>>345537374
Why not take advantage of it? I used to fuck up traders doing it.
I usually put a table and a few chairs in a small room with a vent inside and made the room more easily accessible than the rest of my base. The traders would come in and I would rush to lock the door behind them. Since the room approaches boiling temperatures they end up dying of heat stroke in less than a day. You could also do the same thing by spamming heaters, since the AI is too stupid to try and break them you can simply turn them off when everyone is dead and claim your reward.
>>345537363
Are you keeping your turrets on 24/7? Also, hydroponics use power right? Maybe ease up on farming, go hunting or raise chickens.
>>345537664
Doesn't the AI try to break out of enclosed spaces now though?
>>345537674
Turrets and hydroponics basins are completely negligible in power consumption compared to fucking sun lamps. Hydroponics take up like 70W, Turrets take up no more than 300W, but sunlamps take up 1600W.
I do not have growing seasons, it is literally impossible to sustain my colonists and my livestock on hunting alone, and herds rarely pass by anymore. I've also deforested half the map in a desperate bid to keep my fuel generators operational.
>>345537737
I did this trick eons ago, so I have no idea how the AI reacts to it anymore. I find that if I remove homezones and make the walls at least 3 deep that AI doesn't try to break through unless they're a sapper team.
>>345537625
Or you could cut off both their legs and put them into a double medical bed together
Cant run without legs bitch!
>>345537840
Hmmm, crops don't grow at night even with sunlamps because the pants need to "rest", right? Maybe you can hook up ask the sunlamps to a switch and turn it off at night.
>>345532134
>>345532990
This games hospital mechanics far outstrip Dorf forts, that's for sure.
>>345537840
>sunlamps take up 1600W
And geos provide what, 3600?
This is some retarded "balancing" that's for sure.
>>345537363
you have waaay too many sunlamps
you dont need anywhere near that amount of crops for 11 people
>>345538083
The dev really dislikes mountain base turtling
We need a new damn thread fellas
Isn't this game just casual Dorf Fort?
>>345538014
I am actually already doing this, I have a single dedicated guy to flip switches and clean the place. It's also a huge pain in the ass to micro, almost as bad as having to make absolutely certain that no animal is following a master when a raid comes in to prevent a friendly fire event (which is ridiculously common in this game)
>>345538083
it's retarded play not retarded balancing
you only need like 4 sunlamps worth of crops and you've got about 12

I need to grow crops for some 30 turkeys and 10 alpacas, I just set out my dogs to huntand also keep a body freezer next to them so I can dispose of bodies without having to dig gravesso they do their thing.
I also used to have 15 colonists but one of my dipshit colonists turned out to be an abusive husband, got divorced and started going berserk on my colony, several times a day, and when he finally got beaten to death his father snapped and got himself killed and half of my colony went into a sad wander state because the guy was loved by everyone and two more people either froze to death or got eaten by timber wolves while wandering around.
>>345538461
>>345538168
because crops rest during the night regardless of whether the sunlamps are on just use solar panels on a seperate grid from your normal one to power your sunlamps

human meat is best for taming animals and making kibble.
"humanlike was slaughtered" is fuck all penaltyX animal has developed a taste for human flesh event when
>>345538947
This is exactly what I do with human meat. Before I built housing sufficient for growing hay I would just cut up all my prisoners and people from the body pit and convert them to kibble for my turkeys. Honestly cannibalism isn't punished anywhere near as bad as it used to, I remember at one point my colonists getting so starved that they literally just dragged whole corpses to the people in the medbay to feed them.
