I'd love to see a randomized drug that pulls from different tables - something that works like the character trait generator where the drugs would be given a trait and a side effect.

Thanks for the hard work in the previous Alphas!

Didn't expect Fallout Shelter on July 2nd. I don't know how this got so popular, it's not that good of a game, mostly a cash grab... that for a while beat candy crush.

I have no idea if July 2nd is right. It's in my notes, but I don't remember putting it there and can't find an actual release date. As for it being a good game - it doesn't really matter. It was free and was attached to a big name. This update will be big, especially since they are bringing it to PC and I'm assuming Steam. This may actually work in favor for RimWorld. If a bad colony sim game comes out, it could drive more people to the genre. RimWorld would likely be at the top of the charts on Steam and people may have more interest in it.

I'll chime in. I keep a pretty detailed list of upcoming games:

22 June - The Last Leviathan

28 June - Lego Star Wars - Force unleased

July 2(ish) - Fallout Shelter Update and PC release

Early July - Prison Architect on Xbone and PS4

Mirage: Arcane Warfare - Early Summer Beta (my guess is mid-July)

26 July - We Happy Few

22 July - Death Road to Canada

Other possible July games - Okhlos, Overcooked, Pixel Privateers, Worlds Adrift, This is the Police, Niche.

August/September - Astroneer

2 August - Abzu

9 August - No Man's Sky


The biggest competition I see in July is Fallout Shelter. There's no announced release date, so I'd say the earlier the better for RW release. It'll likely be a free to play game which will probably do very well. I doubt Prison Architect will make any difference this time around. We Happy Few and No Man's Sky are going to be the other big ones - possibly Worlds Adrift (depending on when it's released).

So if anyone has any other ideas on how to achieve this im all ears.

Thanks Julia!

For those wondering, this mod makes the mech faction not raid and disables the falling ship parts. I'm not entirely sure, but I think that mechs can still spawn in those hidden tomb things.

Thanks!

Another modder has packaged one up for me. We'll have a new series starting up tomorrow (hopefully...)

I kind of figured that removing them would be straight forward, while changing the ship parts would be a little more problematic. Thanks for the tip on this!

Secondary question - how would I go about creating an actual mod that would remove the mechs? I want it to be able to be distributed to my viewers so they can install it rather than playing around with their xml files.

Hey Modders,

I'm planning another LP series with a strange twist to it. Is there a way that one of you talented people can remove the mechs from the game and change the ship parts so that raiders come out of it instead of mechs? I'd like the ship parts to be still fairly strong, but not over the top crazy. If that is too difficult, could the ship parts be removed from the game entirely?

Thanks,
Blitz

Oh and either it's just the Blitz Pack or you forgot to put for the Alien Ants the Ability Pack which allows them to attack. You forgot it in the Blitz Pack and maybe your LP

Thanks Zakywak, I didn't notice that I missed that one. I've updated the download.

I've been playing with the RT Fusebox mod instead of the 'No Conduit Overload' element of Less Incident Trolling, by the way. It's a considerable improvement, in my opinion.

I'll take a peak at it. I'm not so sure that I want to change too much up, but it may be worth doing.

i was giving you the choice, use whichever, i havent uploaded it yet as was play testing it, ill upload the new version soon, thats the only change so you can stay as you are if you prefer all that steel lying about

I'll change it when you get a public version ready. I'll have to see if there is too much metal

Blitz a question, razorrain, would you like the version you have now or the version i havent uploaded yet where its exactly the same but only a 1 in 8 chance of steel being dropped on impact, I found it a little too much having all that steel drop so i reined it in a little.

Either way Skully. If you'd rather have me use the new one, that's cool.

The BlitzPack contains 17 mods to enhance your gameplay. These mods don't change the game too much, but just enough to enhance your vanilla game into a slightly different experience. This pack also contains save files for the Prepare Carefully profile, world, and colony. These were included so you can play along with me in my Let's Play series.


I've played with this setup for a few hours testing different things. I haven't had any serious compatibility issues. There may be some hiding somewhere, but I didn't find any. These mods have not been modified from their original versions. I am not planning on keeping this modpack updated with newer versions of the individual mods unless we find a severe bug.

If you do want to follow along as I play this pack, be sure to tune into my YouTube Channel. For help installing these mods and for a general introduction of them, check out my Introduction Video

If you are enjoying these mods, please share some of the love with the creators. Blitz is just a derp who can use 7zip, RimWorld wouldn't be the way it is without these modders and developers!

How much work would it take to get the AI to recalculate the colony strength after we launch the ship? Sometimes I want to continue playing with what I've created, but the AI is just too strong to continue.

It would almost be a new game + mode.

Workplaces looks perfect, thanks Haplo!
