Does the VGP version get similar updates?

I am also working on a new version of my mod lots and lots of patches to make it work better with other mods and a few other things ppl have asked for. Hopefully a weekend release for non-steam users.

Christmas coming a week early! EEEEEEEE

Gotta say, it's worth traveling to the emitter and bringing it home, because then you've now got a soother for your base!

[Rainbeau's Fertile Fields]

It is a new terrain that replaces sand, yeah. Can't say if it will be compatible with other mods, though

I can see it being useful to integrate with Rainbeau's Fertile Fields and/or Vegetable Garden -> Garden Tools as it currently allows fertilizer to be used to create Rich Soil / Plowed Soil. Do the squids just leave a trail of converted sand or is there an actual substance at play? Perhaps a terraforming action which can convert a Fertilized Sand to Sand which produces Fertilizer?

Is fertilized sand a brand new terrain type? Does it jive well with any other agriculture/terraforming mods that you know if?

What about Change Mirror?

Grow+?

I imagine the brains have to come from live donors and not the recently deceased? So basically you get them from [un]willing donors?

Imagine all of your enemies packed into the equivalent of Hell's phonebooth.

(Turned off BPC until I can get an answer on an error it was causing.)

Getting an error on load after installing this (v1.9.5). Presumed it was due to Gear Up & Go not seeing it so I moved it later, but still threw the error.

Tynan coded part of the simulatory experience to be about interpersonal relationships between neighbors and/or co-workers under a crisis situation, how people find hope and joy (and yes, sexual release) in the context of an isolated community free of other expectations or conforming influences. It is a part of being human that extends beyond the mere mating urge and into essential human intimacy and the need for security amongst people.

I think Rainbeau mentioned this in his description for the Rational Romance mod that barring any strong culturally-confirming influence, most humans probably rate between 2 and 4 on the Kinsey scale (bisexual/pansexual with a slight preference towards a certain gender/sex presentation), and it's only through enforcement of the family unit that we're strongly influenced to form monogamous relationships or portray ourselves as Kinsey-0/Kinsey-6. In a colony setting, that influence may not exist or be heavily ignored in favor of survival instincts and just fulfilling the basic need for intimacy or the cool wave of mood-uplifting hormones that a good O can provide.

Both Rational Romance and Psychology give you the freedom to shape your game's reality the way you feel comfortable with by adjusting how diverse sexualities are (and being a single-player experience there's no one around to disagree with you), and I think that's the best option that satisfies those who want to address realism versus those who don't want to have that in their human-hat-fabrication sim.

That's one hell of a booty call.

That is pretty unfair, yeah. I don't think it's enough to just make the other traits visible because it's obviously a disadvantage, losing a slot and all. I'm in support of any changes to improve this.

Both Rainbeau's Rational Romance and Linq's Psychology address this entirely, and in a respectful and realistic way.

Rational Romance and Psychology don't work together, do they?

They really don't, and at this point the main difference between them is that Psychology introduces a whole new system of personality traits and mental illnesses beyond just retooling the romance/sexuality framework.

As a fan of both modders, I say if you're not interested in the above, Rational Romance becomes your "must-install" mod, just for its own changes.
