Is there a wiki for this? Kinda stuck on figuring out what research i need to get the hopper for my steam plant.

This sounds like the makings of a fantastic defensive system. Just build a few small buildings around your base in which you store eggs that continuously hatch. Then when attacked, swarm the field of battle with a flood of chickens. Your enemies will be trapped in combat with your avian army, and then you manually control your people/turrets to forcibly attack your distracted foe. Who needs a force field when you can have a chicken field?

Link would be proud

[My point:]

I don't talk much on these forums. Not because there is nothing to talk about. In fact just the opposite. I just keep my mouth shut unless there is something missing that must be said> my own prerogative.
I been here since alpha 7. not a long time for some but long enough to know what is going on and most of all what I dont know.

I been a Pc gamer since I was 5, but did not have anything under my belt till the herald of fps "Doom" took its throne back in the early 90's

My point:

I have a theory of what is going on here and why Tynan is upset(figuratively rather then literally) but also the other spectrum of why people are rather then making a suggestion but rather

Indeed. People will make assumptions about the future based on alpha status alone. They're wrong to do so, but they will do it.

Indeed..

This is why im bringing up the other part/field of view/ or rather the assuming what may or may not happen.

:Fear:

This is a great game. beyond the scope many could hope for and dream of. The many years of pc gaming i have done and never seen a game like this.

Before there is interjection, there is dwarf fortress. I'm aware of this game, and like most who feverishly play rim world that knew of DF had tried there hand at that game. Some figured it out. Many do not or did not have the time to do so. This is not a crime but rather just a educated guess. (not based on any statistics)

Back on point: This game made by Tynan is arguably the first of its kind. Not the game itself but its user friendliness. From the mods to the game style to its underlying approach to simplicity yet as deep as any abyss.

I don't simply like this game. I can honestly say as it is now this is a game that 10 years down the road I would be surfing the forums trying to find a fix because my operating system is to much for this old game. Im sure some of you have come across games in where u have to get dos box or other work a around to get the ol floppy games to work.

This is that game. one of few that will last.

So where does the FEAR play into this?
Because this game is as great is it is? Or perhaps Its because it is still being worked on? A bit of both... Indeed this is interesting, a game like this and still in alpha. So much to do and being worked on. Tynan has inspirations, wish lists and his own in visioning that this game can and still could have.

So this makes people(some) afraid.

Belive it or not there are people right now in these forums who only been gaming since the early to mid Y2000.
Thnx to early access and other political bs these new comers don't know or simply not used to the concept of the old school alpha. A game that dose not go into beta or "release" till its feature complete (decided from the devs & publishers)

Conclusion:
This is a new thing for many to conceive.  The fear is derived from the fact that Tynan can and by all right could say.. Rimworld is done Especialy from the state of games today that are released and are not even finished or forbid... functional.

So assumptions are going to be rampant if they are not already. either by the ill informed, by fear, or simply entitlement. Its going to happen. it can be innocent or it could be a direct attack. But it all grounds to the fact that this is an epic game and any and all assumptions, predictions, suggestions, wishes.. its all based on complimenting the game.

For the few, soon to be many once this game goes to steam. its almost incomprehensible that a game as well made and continuing to be "made" as Rimworld is, to still be in alpha.

I salute you Tynan for understanding and willing to continue your great work in whatever form it may take.

:::This is in no way to describe the OP or topic just a simple observation:::

also to note that the hand was cut off. Power armor does not protect the hands thus the damage was severe. The parts thart are protected..well they are still attached!

@BassMonroe:  +1

About kids growing up in 18 years: these are genetically modified humans from 3000ish years in the future. They don't necessarily need 18 years to grow up.

It also depends on the society. cultures from long past when old age was 30 years adulthood wasnt even 10 years. + 18 years was developed by culture not a litteral time period.

It's about the journey, not the destination!

Of course, some people go further than others and some people end up as hats..

This might sound wrong or maybe this game has changed me for the worse...but I need a T-shirt with that quote...

@Dave

As long as we don't get a story teller named Hal, I think we will be ok?

Like a few folks have said in here: a queen-sized bed is just fantastic. Going back to something smaller would feel like going from two monitors to one... Just feels wrong.

I dono, I use a single monitor. Then again its a 50" screen tv so i guess that doesn't apply XD

I would like to chime in and say that i very much appreciate this mod pack. If not for its simplicity in modding the game itself it help me learn of other mods i never looked at or known to exist.

Thank u

Im curious about what u guys do in the mid late game with the zombies?
Back in alpha 7 I had hordes( i mean the shambling mass that could be felt before it was seen or heard kind of horde.)

And it wasnt one now and then it was a lot of them.

My question is.. what do u do with all those bodies??
I had such a hard time getting rid of the bodies before the next horde arrives..

Keep an eye out for the horrors mod in your pack, the creator has a lot brewing under the couch and probably see a lot of changes coming from it.

Ahh, understood now. I must have missed the part where I needed to have exact supplies ready before they build it. I had taken it for granted where other construction is done even if most parts are missing.

My appologies.

The storage area

[attachment deleted due to age]

Its been awhile since i posted pics online.
The first one is the Nuke plant that has the metal in it.
The second is the storage of the concrete itself. tried to get what was outside the base as well.

[attachment deleted due to age]

Tho it is not the mine, trying to build your nuclear power plant but no one is delivering the concrete at all to the structure even tho i have 1200 of it already premade. plenty of access room and not X'd out.

Even so They delivered all the metal required 1800 of it. the storage for the metal is located in the same room as the concrete (because of the production of it) so i know its not a pathing issue.
