The whole point of the game is that it is stacked against you....

When combat occurs watch your firing lines to avoid friendly fire. Use cover and try to deny cover for your enemies.

What if Rimworld would team up with FTL.....

And now I have a Thrumbo tamed.

Thanks to Armok I have 3000 kibble since my last bug infestation

Now try to learn it to haul, I gave up after a year and sold it for 2 or 3k silver or so.

Image him playing the game and then sees 2 pawns with the gay trait doing some lovin....Maybe it's me but that's hilarious.

Well played Tynan!

nuschler22 doesnt post anymore he said in a other topic.

This will be my last post on this forum. And my glowing review in Steam will turn to a negative.

Research it self can not being prioritize. Instead increase the prioritize on your pawn that is assigned to do it.

Adding a bloodline in the name of the animal would solve that problem
That data is allready somewhere in the code to keep track so that would be a easy fix.

I see a lot of reactions checking how it works in real life but that doesnt matter much as game play should always trump realism in any game.

Edit: Do animals in rimworld mate in the wild?

When animals migrate and come back after a while are those the exact same animals or are they refreshed each time?

Yea  I was thinking the same when I seen that in the patchnotes, then I figured well I keep the oldest male and female alive but that is only working for so long.

 Just to be clear, I have no problem to beat a hive or anything else in that matter, Insects sieges and poisonships are the easiest to beat due bad agro AI anyway.

Normally I play outside with some self made restrictions.

-No turrets till year 3
-Multiple entrances.
-Open base. (not allowed to wall off large parts of my base)
-No self build choke points.
-Single buildings
-No cheese alowed in any form. ( so much cheese in this game)

All to make the game more interesting and force me to be way more aggressive against treats then needed when building a "good base"

Is the mechanism behind Infestations I dislike, I thought I did explain that pretty clearly but then again my English isn't the best and I have a bit off trouble to put my thought into words.

I think such a mod excists. For me it's a no go installing it, since it won't improve gameplay quality in any way or fashion for me, but rather the opposite. Making the game generally easier isn't what I'm aiming for.

+1

Tynaan specifically made it so you have to make choices and those choices have trade-offs. The choice you made came with a consequence.

The consequence is only RNG depended, that alone makes it bad game play.

If you capture a pawn put them in prisson and then release the pawn it join your colony again?

Am i the only one that laughed at SpaceDorf saying Submarine should think submarine?

Yea that was kinda funny.

I can handle Infestations in my cave base but when they spawn in my sickbay while I have 2 paws unable to move there isn't much you can do.  There was no warning like for instance I could hear them digging or see rock crumble or so...Nothing. This to me is like that death ray example I gave. If the RNG gods hate you you will lose pawns no matter how you prepared, That's bad game play in my book.

All other events  have a counter ( work around) or you can avoid it.  Infestation is a dice roll on how bad it will be and it can be devastating.

Blight= have enough food stored.
ZZZTs = be smart with your wiring and have spare battery in store.
Flash Storm= don't go outside when there is lighting.
Eclipse..... Well you guys will get my point by now I hope.

There are so many other ways to balance cave bases or make Infestations not a dice roll, Seeing the patchnotes for A15 I think the workload for Tynan got to big as he choice again for a easy way out to fix some problems with friendly fire.

Yeah I sound like a negative nancy I know but that's because I care and love the game.

Srry for the bad English.

If done right the odds to loss colonists by a sudden infestation in your base can be minimized by a lot.

From what I have seen there are situations when you have a underground base you can lose 1 2 or even more paws at once and there is nothing you can do about it other then not build your base in a cave.  So plse tell me, how do you minimized the risk by a lot?

What's next to "balance" the game ? A deathray from the sky with 100% accuracy that bypass all terrain? 

Not played alpha 15 yet But I seen in the patchnotes that chance to get hit by friendly fire is reduced by 60%.

That alone will break the good combat in Rimworld and turns combat  into some sort of command and conquer ( Red Alert ) clone.
I do exaggerate it a bit but this "fix" is doing more harm then good or maybe you want the game being more casual then for my liking.

Friendly fire did a lot of good for the combat system while it had its flaws. You should have address the real problem but that's not as easy done as changing 1 line of coding.
