My biggest wish right now is that you could improve the hewn rock walls in your colony.  Similar to smoothing stone floors, being able to pretty up your walls would be a very welcome addition to the game for me.  I realize that this is straight out of Dwarf Fortress, so perhaps it isn't appropriate to suggest.  But it always seemed off that beauty is such a consideration in the game for pawns, yet they are totally comfortable with having barebones mined out rock for walls in their rooms full of lovely carpet, art, and jade furniture.

I looked around via the search parameters of the forums and I was shocked not to be able to find any other threads about this....am I blind?

-What introduced you to RimWorld? Or to this style of game in general?
Saw it on steam, saw that it was essentially what I had always wanted Dwarf Fortress to be, saw the overwhelmingly positive reviews.  Only the 2nd full price steam game purchased in 2016.  Lost my first colony to a horde of boomalopes hanging outside my base...I hunted one.  My buddies spent all last weekend drinking various beverages and trying to get a colony to survive the first season. Absolutely loving this game, I can see so much potential here.

-What's your favorite other game?  This is a brutally difficult question to answer, so I will do by genre.
RPG - Mass Effect Series (Despite the endings)
CRPG - Final Fantasy 3 (6 in japan)
RTS - Starcraft (all of them)
Grand Strategy - Crusader Kings 2
Turn Based Strat - Civ 5

Wow...there are a lot of genres.  I am just going to stop there for now because I think anyone wants to know that my favorite racing game is Burnout 2.  Ok now I'm done...



-Most embarrassing gaming-related story?
There was that time last weekend when I had too much rum and forgot to reset my grower to grow food as top priority and didn't realize it until I got a low food warning.  But probably my secret shame is that I went LARPING once ten years ago and still have super vivid and fun memories from the weekend in the woods...who knew that trying to be stealthy in real life is way way harder than it is in games...

-What kind of breakfast cereal is the best?
I go for whole grain oatmeal (no instant!) and a hard boiled egg.  Breakfast must be earned!
