Make colonists (the easy change) and warm-blooded animals (little more work) a minor heat source when indoors. Now you've got players huddling their colonists together in smaller rooms if they need to keep warm.

If you're dropping stuff on the floor be aware that these items do not count to your inventoried total - ie if you have a bill set to maintain 50 Kibble and you have 150 kibble dropped on the floor around you because no-one has hauled them to an appropriate store then your cook / butcher will just keep on making kibble.

First some suggestions that appear in this thread that I think have already been implemented...

1) ...I set up a Cleaning area...

Do you mean the home area? Or is there a separate way to zone cleaning? As far as I know the Home area currently IS the cleaning area.

He sets one pawn to clean and then restricts the pawn to the area he wants cleaned using zones. Clever, yet I think my pawn will get cabin fever pretty quickly.

You're right - he will - I've tried this method - as I'm sure most of us have - you have to include a route outdoors to alleviate the cabin fever and also to their bedroom.

What would be better is if you could manage allowed zones by time - ie they're allowed in zone 1 between 0900-1300, zone 2 1300-1800, zone HOME from 1800-0900 - for example where zone 1 might be the kitchen area, etc.

I did not realise that. Ta.

[Start Migration:]

Start Migration:

Allows you to leave your current area, take a number of items, your animals etc, and migrate to a new area - perhaps within a radius of your starting point.

This would allow you to move all over the world map (eventually).

Basically, 'Start Migration' takes you to a the world map screen when you choose your new settlement, then 'choose items to take' screen and bosh - it's like a new start but with your current villagers, animals, items (more or less).

Doable in an afternoon? Maybe?

It's not 'already in' - you can tell them when to work and separately tell them what areas they can go in - but there's no way to set where they can work based on the time of day which is what I'm suggesting.

What you're suggesting is the current micro-management way.

[Time-based zone restrictions]

Time-based zone restrictions

Currently you can restrict where a pawn can go - I'd like to integrate this concept into the working hours table and restrict them *by time of day* so that I can confine my chef to the kitchen during the day - but then allow him to go anywhere during his breaks then allow him anywhere in the Home area during the night.

Copy production station bills so that you can paste the bills into a new / replacement station.

Yeah I've done something like this - you have to also allow them a path to their bedroom if you want them to go to bed. Would be handy to allow different at different times - confined to quarters over-night - confined to the kitchen during the day - except breaks outside - like a prison!

Thanks. So far I've not encountered a bug which hasn't been fixed by restarting the game - separate to this bug I had an error that wouldn't load any of my saves. I restarted and they were fine.

Only had these little niggles since Steam integration.

They were very tired, that's the weird thing.

I'll stick up some pics tonight.

Been playing Rimworld for ages but have had a few hiccups since I started playing it on steam.

Not sure why this guy won't sleep. I had to set him to sleep 24hrs the previous night because he wouldn't stop.

No relevant traits.
