This happened to me in Rimworld Version 532 (Version 6)
Vibrating Dead Prisoner

So what happened was I had this prisoner that was dying of starvation ( I am not sure if thus was a bug as the prisoner wouldn't eat and had plenty of food) as starvation reached 100% the prisoner began vibrating and turned with the sound for punching being repeatedly heard in the vicinity.  I have no idea what triggers it but I have had other prisoners die from this.

So here is my question I play a lot of Randy Random (RR) and I am wondering how enemy progression works for this storyteller.  Specifically I have seen a lot of really easy raids (less than 5 raiders with only pistols and molotovs) for my games so far and I am approaching the 50 day mark or so.   Does enemy progression for RR depend on colony wealth or defense or some combination of both?

I was wondering if anyone knew how to change the body appearance of the colonists in your sace game files.

Here is an idea lets have trade goods/luxury items.  Trade goods would be very valuable credit wise but more or less useless to you (like gold or furs).   Luxury goods could have a very high mood improvement if consumed or use i.e. like spices or even drugs.  Some such goods you could produce or collect other require research but most would require a source on the map i.e. a gold vein or a spice bush/plants.  You might have to process some of these and they would be a serious investment in terms of materials and people but offer substantial rewards for selling them. 

So in the original Kickstarter post it was stated that the colonist of Rimworld might have the option to build a starship as the finale of the game.  This got me thinking that there might be other alternative game endings as opposed to a. escaping the planet or b. everyone dies.  I think a great endgame approach would be to create a new colony that is to upgrade the current collection of survivors to a permament settlement on this moon.  A plausible method would be to require the player to reach a certain population or technological level or possibly to upgrade the settlement from its ramshackle shacks to a well built town.  Another option is for the people to form a charter or constitution (presumably high social ones) to establish the town.  The town decision might be exclusive say you could decide to go the town route or the spaceship route but both or at least not at the same time (after all if you town fails or encounters severe difficulties leaving in a spaceship may become an attractive option).  The town route could also open certain technologies/social policies normally closed off (like some sort government or trade route options

Maybe characters with increased social skill could receive a benefit to the amounth they improve the mood of characters they converse with.
