I'm going to check this out when I get home

I did the tactic where you make corridors outside, but that was after I built the whole place.  If i were to do it again I suggest having the heat dumped into tiny 1x1 rooms that dont connect to anything.  Though it would be nice if we had a 'vent' type structure.  Something that lets us dump the heat without opening the base up to drop pods.

Theres a mod that adds this feature [MOD] ( Alpha 8 ) Central Heating (includes vents)

My twitch fans are my rubber duck

I am neither a duck, or made of rubber...

Thank you guys for the replies! I'm completely new to modding so I have a feeling a lot of my ideas wont get turned into mods until I know I can do it well enough... I don't want a half assed attempt against my name... lol
 

I'm pretty sure the answer is that it's only possible through a .dll. So unless you know C# or know someone who knows it and owes you a favor, it's not going to be possible.

I do conveniently have a slave (or friend as some people call them) who is rather good at coding I just bought him FarCry4 so the least he can do is help me code some stuff XD Maybe even teach me a bit...

This sounds like the beginnings of a cache of 'entertainment magazines' mod.

"I read it for the articles, I swear!    +10"

While not my actual idea behind this question. I feel this could quite easily be added in to the mod if I got the basics down

Well i got the code for picking up the item, you can see it in clutter in sleep pills or spoonge gun ammo or here(love the turret ).
So i would only need to put a though there which is a part i dont know how to do yet, but if any one do just copy the code and add the though part

Thanks! I'll have a look at it I did look at the code in the core files for the neurotrainer but (as I have no coding knowledge or modding experience) had no idea what I was really looking at... lol

Would it be possible to have an item which can be used, similarly to a neurotrainer. But instead of gaining XP like the aforementioned item, you would get a thought.

E.g. Right-Click, Use <Item>, Item is used and colonist gains a "Used <item> +10" thought.

Thanks in advance for any replies!

Change the texture of the bullet which the turret gun fires to something more laser...y..., change the accuracy of the turret gun to something truly abysmal, and you have an easy and slightly hacky way of doing just that

That was how I would do it

Please find attached a disco ball that shoots lazers.
I made them do no damage so it just spams at the raiders XD

Love the mod, any chance of a "PunchBag" to train melee?

I could turn it into a disco ball... and make them drop their guns to... but they would drop with the guns... :<
"Everybody do the flop!"
If you count that as dancing XD

The mod is based of off Cassandra Classic

Its basically her with a higher pop cap.

Looks great, but the download is broken for me could you upload a mirror?


p.s you put brust not burst in your original post

Aha.. great little mod. Always wondered it it was a bug or just a mechanic I guess its been christened a bug now XD

Ahh okay I see the angle you're coming from now. People can be dead for a long time before the distress is enough to remove them from existence completely.

But also different types of stress will have different affect on the two respectively, like you said,

I can shoot a clump of grass with a pistol and not much will happen. A person will die.

However this is due to the fact that when you shoot grass you probably wont hit it where as if you shoot a muffalo you'll struggle to miss

As for solutions your body part health system sounds very intriguing, so people could say get a "Shot in the arm" debuff, which in turn could reduce their accuracy by a ton.
Implementation like that could lead to a whole world of interesting situations. I can't wait to see it, but I can imagine it being troublesome to initially code it into the game.

Really, the idea of using the same health variable for both makes no sense.

Maybe for grass/structures change it to Damage rather than a Health? I can't imagine that being too hard to implement just reversing it to go from, by example "100/100 Health" to "0/100 Damage" or even "0% Damage"

I'm no coder so this may be harder than I make it out But its a suggestion none the less.

I've always thought it might be cool to have a research that allows you to have a "resistance" to the blight. Maybe not complete immunity but at least say something along the lines of "Segregated Growing - Makes blights affect 50% less crops"

I'd think fires wouldn't have enough time to spread to other patches of grass.

I was thinking the same thing on that one, from my limited knowledge it looks to me fire spreads the same way as plants breed. You can see the particles float off to the new tile.

Whilst I agree that grass has high health, without changing the fire spread mechanic not much can be done. Going on the OPs topic of realism reducing the plants health would lead to the fires burning out quickly and not burning much of an area at all. Which isn't that realistic as it would /realistically/ spread over a wide area.
