Hi Tynan, could you please update the Dropbox with the 1.4 vanilla art source? I'd like to take a look at the stump art but we only have the polluted ones from Biotech there currently.

Okay, I will look at that. I had been using the directory list under Core because the .txt in the English folder says 'the default English data is in the main XML data for the core mod.' However it does also say to refer to the German one...sigh I guess I got confused.

It looks like I didn't put all my folders into /DefInjected/ for some reason. That may be the problem. Let me try it again now.

edit: Yep that was it...I knew it was something simple. I definitely had some reason for putting those other folders outside of DefInjected. I was probably looking at an older folder layout.

I recall looking at that one specifically but it didn't work out for me, I guess because the file structure changed.

I also tried it with the directory from the github but it looks like that hasn't been updated. Trying it again with the file structure from the game files.

edit: ok I tried that and it isn't making any changes, which was the problem I originally had. I also looked at the mod that renames Healroot to Xerigium and it does use the patch function

my folder is at \...\RimWorld\Mods\modname\Languages\English\Defs\Drugs\Luciferium.xml and it is

I thought I could try making a simple text replace mod but it doesn't seem to be working. Please let me know what  I am doing wrong.

I'd like a biome where the toxic fallout comes and goes in waves, so you have periods where you can go outside, and others where you can't. Maybe have it not start for the first year or so, so that you have time to set things up.

Wouldn't this also make wild muffalo have the packs? Or are pack muffalo a separate entity ingame?

Heat isn't super useful unless you get a cold snap or are living in a cold biome (which I assume you aren't). You could make a hot trap corridor (would work great with the new 'allowed areas' mechanic), but I think you'd need a lot of heat going into a single space to see results.

We need vaccines.

Neat idea.
I can understand rimworlds not having access to vaccines, but maybe exotic traders could come by with some. One-use item that provides permanent (I feel like making it last only a few years would be unviable in such a long-term game, especially for rare items) immunity to a single disease.

Sigh. I was looking in the Source and Data menus, not in the Core mod. Thanks.

Where are the defs for the default factions in the game files? I can't seem to find them. Are they hidden or compressed somewhere?

In a map with only psychically deaf colonists I built a stone temple around the fallen ship part. As the psychic drone grew anything that entered the map was driven to madness within minutes. Raiders would turn on each other as they were driven insane and soon there were too many corpses to even burn. The death cult I had created sealed themselves inside their citadel as the map turned into a wasteland of the dead and the broken husks of would-be conquerors who wander aimlessly until they simply starve to death. The approaches to the temple are literally a blanket of corpses and my colonists didn't kill any of them. Truly their dark god is a great one.

I remember this thread.

As for me, I once had a cannibal colony set up (on an earlier version with no penalties for organ extraction or food expiration). Anyone coming by, visitors, raiders, anything, would be captured, have their organs extracted and eventually be eaten. Apparently the concept of eating people is too much for any of my other friends who play, but it was necessary due to the harsh conditions and poor crop yield. Forget hydroponics, have a human burger.

1.Capure some guy.
2.Install 2 peg legs.
3.Install 2 bionic eyes and 2 hands. remove them.
4.Install jaw.
5.Harvest 1 lung and 1 kidney
6.Stripp him,make apparel from human leather and give it to him.
7.Speak with him and he will be happy.Blind guy, without hands, with 2 wooden legs and clothes made from his friend's skin.His live is so wonderful.

I think you win.

Not sure if you're satisfied with EPOE or not, but OmniMedical adds an 'auto heal casket', you put a special hopper next to it with herbal medicine, then have your person enter it and the casket treats them.
