General Discussion / Jump abilities now drop carried pawn?
September 05, 2024, 04:57:54 PM
I'm confident that using the jump pack, the vampire leap, and the archon leap used to be amazing for rescuing colonists. However, at the moment, they are all dropping the rescued pawn before initiating the jump, which really isn't very useful.

Is this an intended change? Did I break something via a mod? The latter would be my own problem, of course :)

Support / Change location of player.log
August 08, 2024, 01:50:53 AM
It would be extremely helpful to be able to redirect the location of the logfile, the same way we can do so with the save directory, via the  -savedatafolder  command line argument. This was first mentioned in a 2020 post, and brought up a few years later. One poster said that using the argument  -logfile "D:\directory\logfilename.log"  works on Linux, but I don't have a way to verify that.

It's tough only having a single log file, when I'm using the Steam version, and 1-2 standalone instances. It's often been walked on by a different game instance vs the one that had an actual bug, which is a little frustrating :)

Support / Some books cannot be stored on bookcases
June 20, 2024, 03:39:33 PM
I have a bookcase containing 4/10 books, yet I have a new, 5th book that will not be shelved. I ended up just using a 1x1 zone to keep it indoors. The book itself is named "Olsen's Guide to Herbs (masterwork)", not that that's terribly useful :) I'm not really sure what to do. My bookcase is set to have all 4 types of books, set at critical priority, and my colonists keep tossing it on the ground.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I realized I'm playing with the original release version, and not with the balance patch, and can't figure out what's going on with versioning.

The SendOwl download links are all to 4066. Running 4066 informs me that 4075 is now available (somehow). Steam, meanwhile, is on 4069.

What's going on here? Are my SendOwl links just, too old or something, despite Anomaly being only a couple weeks old?

Support / Mechanoids not tagging along with Farskip
April 21, 2023, 01:23:30 PM
So, I knocked over some village in the world, and I'd finally gotten around to leveling a Skipmaster, so of course I was going to just teleport back home. I gathered all of my mechs up tight into the area of effect, activated farskip, and...it only transported my pawns, not the mechanoids. I was able to send their controller right back via pod and drudged back to my base, but still.

Is this intended behavior? If so, it makes farskip a lot less valuable, because I do all my raids with ~6 scythers and 6 lancers, and I was really hoping I could avoid walking home every time.

Setting a custom save shortcut works differently in 1.1.2552, and I'm not sure if this is an intentional change. Previously, using a path with spaces, the shortcuts would be of the format:

"Rimworld.exe path" -savedatafolder="save directory"

The format that now works is:

"Rimworld.exe path" "-savedatafolder=save directory"

Is this an intentional change?

Support / Gift purchase question with "Name in game pack"
September 01, 2018, 08:18:21 PM
I'd like to take advantage of the "name in game pack", but since I already bought Rimworld, I was going to give this purchase as a gift. However, I want to get my nickname in the game, and not theirs :) Before I make the purchase, will I be prompted to enter the nickname at purchase or something? Or will that be sent to the email address of the giftee?

edit- Just so there's a conclusion (and no need to bump the topic), no it doesn't look like there is a way, so I just abandoned the idea.

As if cosmic horrors and dead gods weren't enough, now our poor colonists have to deal with the vampires and werewolves in their midst! We'll be playing in the Lovecraft-inspired universe of the "Rim of Madness" mods, which also includes cults and human sacrifice, new factions, atmospheric items and furniture, and a crafted storyteller!

This twisted hellscape for this colony will be the frozen desert biome, under the capricious and malevolent care of the Lovecraft (Extreme) storyteller. I fear the dark, predict disaster, and promise entertainment!
