All of my colonists stand around, with the console showing error: Name threw an exception while determining job, and says that it can't be null.

I've got one of my colonists making art for the community, and this happened.

Jan 5th, Gert makes this:



The next day, he makes this:



It's gone to your head when you start making art, of yourself, making art, instead of everyone protecting the community from attacks. >.>

Rimworld...I swear.

It's gotten to the point that I am constantly stuck in a catch-22.


The steps to my personal hell:
1. New version comes out with awesome features!
2. Wait for my favorite 7 mods to be updated, as I just can't play without them, at this point.
3. Check daily changelog, and see the awesome new features coming in the next version.
4. Not feel like playing cause it's just gonna happen all over again.
5. Wait 3 weeks for everything to update, play for a week.
6. Go back to step 1

It's killing me.

Tynan, would it be possible to get some of the more popular mods features added to the game in some way?

Expanded biotech, and surgeries, hospitality, more weapons, and more events.

That's pretty much it, honestly.

Then my catch-22 is over.

Also babies! I can't wait for babies.

Every time a new event/incident is added, I break out in a huge smile. Thank you! My wishes have been granted.

Well you're now looking at Volcanic winter event...

I know! Its awesome. Haha. I love it!

Every time a new event/incident is added, I break out in a huge smile. Thank you! My wishes have been granted.

I am beyond happy that more events are being added!

Tynan, can we get an update that is a big event update? Or perhaps an update that makes it easier to add custom events?

I love the game, but there are only so many events in the game, and no mods add new events anymore.

Either way, I love you. <3

Updated! Tune in tomorrow for the next 5 days!

I'm honestly surprised there aren't more custom event mods for rimworld. This mod was one of the most downloaded. It's an interesting premise, and I really wish I knew how to update it myself.

Hi there, Ladies and Gentlemen! I've been meaning to write up a fun little story for you, and thought that now was the perfect time. I plan on doing 5 in game days per play session, and posting every other day, or every few days, depending on work.

Bit of background info, before we start:

Mods being used:


Story Teller, and Difficulty:


World name, seed, and location:



Our three main characters:

Snipe:



Joey:


Ceba:



Day 1

It is May 1st, Year 5500.

Three childhood friends are taking the trip they have saved up for, their entire lives. On a passenger shift heading out from Al Pacyeon III, disaster strikes.





�Snipe! Joey!� yelled Ceba. �Are you two okay?� he asked, as they crawled from the wreckage of their escape pods.

�I-I�m okay.� Joey says, while patting himself down. He looks towards Snipe.

�I�m fine.� she remarks, as she looks around. �Where the fuck are we?�

�I don�t know, Snipe.� Ceba says, as he too looks around. �We need to get our priorities straight, though. Who knows when rescue will come.�

�If.� Snipe murmurs, trailing off.

�Guys! Look at this! There are weapons, some food, and even some seeds in these boxes from the pods. If we play our cards right, we can totally make it through this!� Joey exclaims.



�That�s all well and good, but what can we do to survive?� asks Ceba.

�We�ll build a shelter against that mountain right there, and dig in. It will help us to stay warm. Lets move this stuff over there, and gather supplies.� Snipe says, taking charge.

They hurry about, making use of what daylight they have.



----

It took them the entire of the first day, but atleast they had shelter.

�Good night, guys. I know we can do this. Just remain hopeful.� Joey says, as he lays down in the shelter.

�Sure.� Snipe whispers, as she settles in.

They wait a moment for Ceba to say something, before noticing his soft snores.

�Guy can sleep anywhere, I swear. Atleast he�ll be rested in the morning.� Whispers Joey. �Good night.�

�Good night.� whispers Snipe.



Day 2

The sun rises, and they quickly begin working. They have alot to get done today, and very little time to get it done.

They manage to clear the land for the stockpile, and begin working on the garden.

�Any idea what these seeds are, Joey?� asks Ceba.

�Not a clue. It just has numbers on the boxes. We should probably plant both types, just in case one isn�t edible.�

�That�s a good idea, Joe. Lets get to it.�



The sun sets on day two. After a long day of work, there is little conversation to keep them up.

Day 3

The sun rises, and after a quick meal, they start cleaning the area in front of the gardens of debris, and move the items that need moving to the stockpile.

�Look at all this stuff!� Exclaims joey.

�Yes, Joey, we can see the stuff. Is any of it useful?� remarks Ceba, with a roll of his eyes.

�Some of it, yes. I think I might be able to whip up a solar energy collector, if i can find a few other things. I�ll go through the debris in the morning, and see what I can find. We can take the batteries from the pods, and we�ll have atleast a little bit of power. Enough for a light, atleast.�

�Oh god, I hope so. We�re going to need heat come winter. It�s may, and it�s already chilly out.�

-----


They work on the �Supply room�, till sundown. Quick to sleep, very little is said but �Good night.�

Day 4

�You know, if we�re going to be here a while, we should probably name this place�� Snipe mentions, over the morning meal.

�You really think so, Snipe? Joey asks.

�I don�t see why not. It certainly can�t hurt.� She says.

�I say go for it.� Ceba offers, as he brushes crumbs off him.

(All the points to anyone that figures out the name based easter egg! I will even give you a cameo in the form of the first person to join the group, after the correct answer is given.)

�How about Cs�nak Meggyilkolt�k?� Snipe says



�The hell does that mean?� Joey asks.

�It�s from a story I once heard as a child. It was about a group of travelers that began a town. It was very adventurous, from what I remember.� She says, as she laces up her boots.

�Did it have a happy ending?� He asks

�Honestly...I don�t remember.�

And thus Day 4 begins.

They quickly throw together the �Supply Room� as they call it, and call it a day after moving some items around.



As night falls, unbeknownst to our travelers, a group of traders from Blacksmiths Borough arrive in the night. Looks like they aren�t quite as alone as they thought�



Day 5

Snipe rises early, and moves the last bit of steel from the scrapped escape pods, before moving back to the front room. While waiting for the others to wake up, she outlines what she thinks they need to mine out.

The discovery once daylight hits that they aren�t alone on this planet is shocking. They get information from them, and learn that the other tribes aren�t quite a friendly, and that a few might even be dangerous.

After a bit of friendly conversation, the traders leave, and work finally begins.

As the day ends, a good bit of mining has been completed. The next day should see more work done.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let me know what you guys think! New additions to the story will be both added to the main post, and posted separately in this thread so that it is updated. Feel free to leave feedback, and try and figure out the name easter egg!
-----------------------

Day 6

As the sun rises, our group of travelers get ready for their day.

�Guys, while you do some mining, i�m going to work on building a solar energy collector. I think we�ve got enough stuff.� joey mentions, as they leave the room.

�Sounds good to me, man. If you need help, give a yell.� Snipe responds.



As the day winds down, the work on the solar panel is completed, and a battery system is placed.



�You know, guys, I was going through the stuff, and I think i can make a wind turbine too, as a back up. We�d need more steel, but I think I can do it.� Joey says, and they lay down for the night.

�We�ll see what we can do, Joe. Thanks for what you�ve managed so far, though. Don�t know where we�d be without you.� Ceba says.

�No problem. Good night, guys.� Joey remarks.

�Good night.�
�Night�

Day 7

As the day begins, everyone rushes to do what needs to be done.

Working quickly, and together, they manage to mine out what is left, and begin working on making rooms, a kitchen, and a food storage area.

�Hey Joe! If we stick one of our extra guns on a tripod, and set up some sort of motion tracker, and a server, can we have an automatic turret?..� Ceba asks.

�.....I love you!� Joey exclaims, as he rushes off.

�I guess that�s a yes�� Ceba replies.



As the day ends, two beds have been made, and the rooms laid out.

�We�ll get it all set up in the morning, guys.� Snipe says.

�Exactly! And we should have enough for a turbine. I�ll see about setting one up in the morning.� says joey.

�Good night, guys.�



Day 8

Our group rushes around, building the final bed, and setting up two lights.

Joey starts scoping out an area for a turbine, and decides that north of the solar panel is good enough.



As night falls, they settle in for the night.

�Tomorrow is going to be a good day, guys, I can feel it.� Joey remarks, as they head to bed.

�Lets hope so, man.� Ceba replies. �See ya in the morning, guys.�

�Good night!� Joey says.

Day 9

As the sun ris---What?



�Guys, where is the sun? Is there an eclipse??� Joey may be freaking out a bit. �We don�t have the battery power saved up to run the turret all day with no sunlight. We need to get that turbine running, right now.�

They rush around for a bit, trying to get everything situated.
Halfway through the day, power runs out.



�I really hope this thing of yours works, man. If we get attacked today, we�re screwed. Good day my ass.� Snipe says, passing by.

�I cursed us.� Joey says sadly, handing his head�

As the loud hum from the turbine kicks in, the lights come back on!

�You did it, man!� Ceba yells in exaltation!

�I just did what needed to be done, guys. But thank you.� Joey answers.

�Lets get to bed, guys, it�s late. I think�� Snipe replies.


Day 10

The sun still hasn�t risen, the group begins mining out the area blocking the turbine. More wind means more power, of course.

The day is very productive, as they quickly throw together a table or two, and chairs for the dining area, and begin placing down an area to cook, and butcher animals.

As they day ends, the eclipse does as well. Looks like the morning will be bright after all�

--------------------------------

Still no replies for the easter egg? Dx

Here is a hint...think of other games with Rimworld type of depth when it comes to freethinking AI.

Anyway guys, I've almost finished the next 5 days, and let me say, things are already getting hectic!

Will they make it?

Will they be rescued??

Find out next time! On Dragon! Ball! Z!....er....Rimworld. On Rimworld.

*Sob* Does anyone have the know how to update TTM Custom Events to alpha 10?

You would gain my infinite love!

F**k me. Ill hot fix it.

EDIT: I've removed it from the mod for fixing. Just re download or remove it your self.

Thank you.

Seems to throw an error when creating a new world, and doesn't let the world be created.

I completely agree with want_some. If he can't get ahold of Minami, what can he do? Better to have a current version that works with alpha 8, than no version at all.

Want_some....please update TTM Events as well?!

I, and many others, are waiting for TTM events more than anything else. That, and visitor medbed.

This is one of the few mods that I am seriously waiting for, for Alpha 8. I'm hopeful it gets updated before Alpha 9 is released, so I get the chance to play it.
