So i noticed my maps all end up looking like barren wastelands. No plants a couple years in (not counting my farms)

I have fires/flashstorms and animals grazing - but shouldnt it come back? i have pockets of the map (maybe 20%) that have animals and plants by year 3 onward- but the rest of the map is literally barren (doesnt matter what type of location i choose to start) - its really starting to get annoying because i need plants so i can have animals to hunt and tame...anyone else go through this?

and when do we go about getting the ball rolling to get our steam codes? Thanks

who reviews alphas?

the dev should add super monsters like in Dwarf Fortress....forget large raids or annoying mechs- give us rare beasts that attack. AND Z LEVELS PLEASE! =)

Early game is probably the best part of the game for me. Late game where everything is pretty much set up is a bit boring. None of my successful colonies really get ended by raids, It's mostly from transitioning into the latest Alpha.

100% agree

How do u run project zomboid. Looks great, but runs on my pc at like 5 fps, whereas i can run rimworld, prison architect and shogun total war 2 just fine. Even lowest graphics settings dont help

it actually runs fine- the issue is that they added SO MANY more zombies to the maps- it can get pretty crazy when there are a few hundred zombies (downtown for example) - but usually those situations end in death anyway

its really going to be an excellent game when its released- the next big update should be out soon btw----oh - there is also a really cool map of The Walking Dead prison- its so detailed- and if you are a fan of the show you will love it

As for the other games , i want to mention Prison Architect that uses the same game engine as Rimworld slows to a crawl when you have over 500 prisoners (because it runs on one core like most games in the genre) - so i tend to keep my prisons below that population limit- and its still a blast to play. Hopefully they optimize it soon though lol- i want to get the 1k prisoner achievment
PA uses a seperate engine.

Rimworld uses Unity, PA uses a custom engine that the guys at Introversion made.

Ah, i see. Thanks for the clarification

so are there any other games you would recommend like the ones i mentioned? You seem pretty knowledgable about this genre!

Not really knowledgeable about this genre, I just happened to remember reading about PA being made in its own custom engine.

As for similiar games:
-Dwarf Fortress - Could never get into
-Craft The World - Blits had a lets play of it, seems interesting.
-PlanetBase - Just released. Steams been crap and won't let me purchase anything, and it only released on steam so I havn't gotten a chance to play it.
-Gnomoria - Heard of it, never tried it.
-The Powder Toy - Not exactly part of this genre. Its a free Particle Simulator which is interesting to mess with. Kinda like Falling Sand Advanced.

awesom- ill look into some of those like PlanetBase and Craft the World

you should really try Gnomoria- its awesome once you get the hang of it- and the battles are a little bit more exciting - it also has Z levels so you can dig deep and find new enemies and types of ore to craft stronger weapons/etc with.

thanks again

increasing the difficulty only increases the size of the raids, and lowers the trading prices.

There is no late game in rimworld, there is barely a middle game at present time. Even UOM which is gone did not have a late game, only made the start more difficult so it took longer to get to the middle game, where the colony runs itself.

Hardcore does the same thing, makes the start difficult, adds a bunch of useless supply chains, that are not balanced in any way, and has nothing else to offer...

Mods are not going to solve the mid and late game, as that just does not exist in the core game... Not enough events, interactions with other factions, raids that are actual pirate raids, that are not attempting to kill you, just steal whatever they can.

For me when I reach the point where the colony is running on its own, and all I have to do is click on an envelope every few days, it is a successful colony... And that colony gets to live on in cyberspace, and memory, out on the rim... no ugly space ship launch, no dev tool in destruction, let them live in the rim world far from interference from any storyteller.

In other words, I stop playing that colony, and start a new one... with different mods added in.

ya i basically do what you do...i quit once everything seems fine and just start a new game. Kinda getting tired of doing that lol- but i have a good rotation between this game, Dwarf Fortress (which i have the same late game prob with TBH), Gnomoria,Prison Architect and Project Zomboid or my PS4. I wish there were more quality games like this - i cant get enough
#13
what are some late game mods? i seriously love the first parts of the game but it just gets so damn boring end-game :(

Naw, I love Rimworld, but hate prison architect... gets boring and repetitive very quickly.

lies! slander! blasphemy!!!!!

in all seriousness, Rimworld gets boring too after the set up phase- you just watch your colony on high speed basically

other than that- PA has random events too to keep things exciting (think invasions in Rimworld)- but they both plateau at a certain point (like all games)- its still fun to go back and forth between them !

since the dev is on a long vacation- i recommend everyone go try out Prison Archetect (and maybe Gnomoria) to quench your thirst. PA espicially - it will consume you once you get the hang of it!
