I'm back from Mordor with the r...erm, patch notes. Didn't check Hair mod or Storyteller mod.
TLDR Version:
Everything got a big boost to WorkToMake (probably because of my post so you can blame me for this one )
Greydale stuff nerfed
Kinetic stuff buffed
Suppressor thinger suppresses now
Might have fixed feral hoods problem
Changed all preview pictures

@rooki1 your grenade fix was incomplete - you missed the opening bracket typo "<explosionRadius >". Also, did you mean to remove WorkToMake entirely from the Fed Jumpsuit?
I think it's really encouraging how you listen to feedback, by the way. Thank you.

The exhaustive patch notes, from 0.71 to 0.72.

with a heart shaped bed and mood lighting like that, I'm surprised those are Zzz's above their heads.

Also, since you seem to be tearing it up and cranking out the content, maybe have a single thread that has links to all your other threads. Alternatively, you could have a mega thread with everything in it. The first would cut down on work for the user, the second on work for you. Or something. Just a suggestion.

this is in a word: brilliant.
Do you have any plans to expand the mod further, or is it just a one and done type thing?
Eitherway, very nicely done.
I would mention in the op that this probably isn't compatible with anything that touches the boomer races defs.

looks like a solid offering. maybe have it display on mouseover who has the highest skill in that category? I also agree with the other proposed suggestions.

Are the balance changes documented anywhere?

Does not appear so. Changelog in op is outdated. I suppose I could do a diff compare and report back. Might be a bit though...

That number refers to the Steam ID for trading spot. Never seen anyone play with just one mod before, but whatever.

'secondPawnData' is expected  Line 8609, position 11 is the exception you're getting. I would look in your save game file. Should be something you can open in notepad, although given the size of the file it might take a while to load. Back it up before you do so.

Madskills is also throwing some NRE's, I'd update that too.

Hell no.
Unless you were going to make an entire Mad Maxx Mod. Then you might be in business. It would actually fit RimWorld really well, and I'm surprised no one has made one yet.
But you'd need to create an entire vehicle system and build mechanics around that.
That's not a simple suggestion.

And the ultimate question : Will Egg-Farming be profitable

No, that's not the right question when a new species is introduced.
Give it time, somebody will ask it.

your screenshot is really small for whatever reason, so I can't see the issue. Maybe describe what I'd be looking at? You can put non-colonists in boxes just fine, although this just goes to show you should be eating them. Probably.

Also looking into introducing Sand and Mud as a resources used to produce glass, silicon and clay for windows, computer bits, art objects, bricks and whatnot. Separate mod from the walls/windows, and probably going to have to treat Glass as a Metal since it doesn't look like we can define new Stuff categories without essentially cloning a massive portion of the game's code.

Since you already know of cupro's windows you probably already know his mod adds sand, and mud and such, yes?
This is beginning to sound more like an entire "glassworks" mod. Incidentally, there is a mod by that name on nexus I believe, might be worth a look.
I share Bucket's hesitation of adding a ton of new resources, unless they are in use by other mods already. This game sorely lacks resource uniformity, and I'd rather not have duplicate sand.
Just my 0.02c which might not even be worth that much.

Most recent mod and common sense are great places to start, yeah. But if that doesn't solve it, rather than 1-by-1, I tend to do a binary search.

• Disable half the enabled mods (that aren't known to be good), see if it solves the problem.
• If no, go to step 1.
• If yes, the enabled mods are "known good." Re-enable half the disabled mods, see if it solves the problem.
• If yes, go to step 3.
• If no, go to step 1.

Yes, I'm a dork for writing out that algorithm, but in practice it's pretty easy and intuitive - "go by halves."

I like how it took me a whole page to convey what you did in a few brief words, haha. 

The weapon damages are almost twice the generic version. Too high I think. IMO most should be only 10% better and one strong one that is 25% better.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QlIx-RfkXAucU-TREb7G5nNZOvCQqKzEfppD0ifT0_w/edit?usp=sharing

Yay, another spread sheet warrior!
Yeah, I said much the same.

just a thought, but I believe you can regrow body parts via one of the debug menu options. Might be able to regrow some digits that way. Obviously not ideal. Edit: just checked, maybe not

I wonder if you could create a separate bodydef skeleton for bonic parts and have it break down what all the bionic arm contains. But that might be tantamount to defining a whole new body. Hmm.
"Ohhhhhhh, the left bionic shoulder's connected to the bionic arm, 's connected to the bionic hand, 's connected to the bionic left index finger...."

so to put it perhaps more clearly:
Current behavior of the stock game with a permadeath save game is to give you a random name as your saved game name. This mod boldly steps in and says "no no no, we'll be using the colony name instead."
If so...cool!
