There's a mod for that

And could you tell us which mod?

Are the Orion Corporations soldiers meant to be dicks? Because 30 of them just "visited" and ate all the food in my new colony.

If you just want to try it out you can download v1.0.1, it should be stable. The only difference is that the new one has a tiny texture update and that it should consume more power on warm maps and less power on cold maps. I'll make a fix as soon as I get off work.

The problem seems to be the line in Version 1.0.2 under thingsdefs:
<compClass>IndieSoft.RimWorld.Refrigeration.CompTemperatureBasedPowerTrader</compClass>

Where it should be:

<compClass>CompPowerTrader</compClass>

I found a problem with your mod. The line on the incendiaryturretweapon file in defs that reads:
<texturePath>Projectile/ChargeSmall_Red</texturePath>
Should be:
<texturePath>Projectiles/ChargeSmall_Red</texturePath>

The metal itself has a health pool. If I remember right it's about 2 or 3 charges will vaporize the metal. Although I still reckon mining is more effective only because there is less micro.

3. im more in favour of capacity-based power lines. they short-circuit when there are not enough power connections. eg. 1 conduit line to connect 10 turrets. (thats 1500w!)

That's what I'm hoping this game will have. An entire realistic electrical system will really make the game awesome.

Plus. Since circuits run through the walls, doesn't this make it more realistic/fleshed-out anyways?

Think about how often the circuitry in your house short circuits during the rain, or the power lines that are just hanging there outside all the time. Really I think Tynan should re-think this and give us tools for moving power over distances outside before doing this. Although I am too late anyway, downloading the newest update now.

I agree, short-circuiting walls is a bad thing.

Plus power conduits only short circuit when they have a crack in the casing and wiring. Meaning they rarely ever short circuit. Plus shouldn't they be built underground anyway?

"Walls now short circuit as well as power conduits."

This sounds like a really bad idea. I mean absolutely horrific.

When was this done since the first base I made 2 days ago they didn't do this and just funnelled into my death trap.

Does anyone know why raiders keep starting fires on my outer walls?
