Hello everyone!

Are there ANY news for alpha 18 ? Not as in "when", but more as in "what" !
I need my Rimworld update fix as i havent heard/read/found anything about A18 yet.
Nothing, not a clue or a hint! Does anyone know anything?
Im dying to see an a18 update video

So this bug involves nothing more than the resolution changing, when loading a game.

When i start the game, the menu is in 1080 res
When i load my game, the res goes down to like a weird res in the 1500x____ area.
The UI is WAY too big when this happens, since i have it set to "a bit larger" since i play on a 55inch tv which im rather far away from.

all i have to do is go to the menu and select 1080 again

nothing game breaking at all or anything, but i thought id just mention it

So i kinda LOVE the idea about.....

you crash on the planet, you survive, eventually build a spaceship.... but it would be cool if it didnt end there!

what would be REALLY cool is.... if you could get in the ship with your crew (leave some back on the planet) and go exploring with the other ship. land on other parts of the "created world" and maybe fly to other created worlds! maybe have it look like FTL when traveling in the ship? Being able to land on other places of the planet and other "worlds". Cause maybe you get bored of the first colony, maybe you want to simply expand....... it would be really cool. if its to unrealistic then this post shall remain ignored

So I downloaded alpha 13, created a world and 3 characters that were all NOT related to each other in any way, other than that they were passengers on the ship with the tragic fate.

Introduction:
1 female surgeon "Sirin", 1 female miner and animal expert "Betty", and a male that wasent good at anything except shooting, named "Seraph".

So we started off, gathered stuff, built things etc...... the 2 girls and the dude got along brilliantly from the start, apparently the dude was mighty charming too, as the girls both liked him a lot. Not much time passed and Sirin found a dog she thought was waaaay too adorable... and apparently he liked her too because from that moment on they were inseparable. They bonded that very same day, and I made him a sleeping spot in Sirins room next to her bed. *feels*

While we were working on things one day, along came a "visitor" who joined the colony. Turns out, it was Sirins lover, "Dave" who had also been on the ship with the tragic fate!! Apparently his capsule made it out of the ship in time too, and by some miracle he survived out there in the wild AND found the colony. So of course Sirin and Dave were happy as could be, especially to be able to sleep next to each other again after having had thoughts of "having lost your lover for ever".

That very same day, we got a weak distress call from a female voice, saying she was being chased by raiders who wanted to do "bad things to her". The colonists of course had to have an argument before coming to a decision: "no, we cant take her in, its too dangerous, we barely have any food for us", "but we cant just let raiders have their way with her, look at what we´re becoming".... the typical crap, you know, but in an improvised decision, they all agreed to help the female in distress and killed her 2 attackers. She was grateful and started to help out in the colony right away. It looked like that, wherever she was from, whatever shes been through in the past, it must have been tough. She was a young, very fit girl, shaved head, lots of tatoos and scars armed only with a dagger type knife... but she was bad ass, kinda pretty and followed orders promptly as she seemed to be very thankful to have found semi civilized human beings that did NOT treat her like dirt! We threw a party the next night welcoming our now 5th member "Jane" to our group and of course the "new found lovers" couple.

Some more time passed.... a trader caravan came by one day, and we went along and bought a cat, "Valentina"! Gorgeous little thing, blue eyes, gray fur.. it immediately started rubbing herself on everyones legs! One day, Dave (the surgeons lover) decided to go hunting for some deer, as there were.... probably 20-25 of them not too far from home.... so he goes... takes his awful 9mm gun, stands 70 feet away from them and starts "a blazin". Instead of hitting only the 2 deer designated as "to be hunted", he hits every piece of grass, tree, squirrel, turtle in his viewing direction, and he also hits all the deer except the 2 designated as "to be hunted". So the deer get pissed at some point and it sets them off on a stampede of rage and destruction. Dave and other colonists outside, fled inside and tried shooting the deer from the entrance, the 2 working turrets did their best to fight off the deer but there we simply too many. The stampede broke off into many pieces too, so we had one part attacking the colonists at the door, other part attacking mainly just one of the two turrets, and in the middle of all this chaos a large part of the stampede gets to my cat Valentina out in the field and "hoof" her nearly to death..... it was too dangerous for anyone to go out and rescue the cat, and again this situation prompted another argument among the colonists "its just a stupid cat, let it die, dont risk one of us for a cat" "but we cant just leave it out there, look at what we´re becoming"... the usual crap, you know, so while the colonists are fighting off some deer while arguing about what to do with the unconscious dying cat a few dozen feet away from them.... Sirins dog gets up, runs out of the building, picks up the cat and brings her home to safety! im behind the screen "go DOGGY GO DOGGY YO CAN DO IT PUP"! AND the dog took the cat to the dogs sleeping spot so the cat could rest and heal....... *feeeeels*

so, outside, there were some dead and some unconscious deer, but the ones still alive were still fighting one of the two turrets outside, which at some point started to sparkle and throw little bolts of lightning and eventually exploded, killing a lot of the deer surrounding it. The rest of them were killed by the colonists with rifles and guns. So yeah, that night, we had a deer bbq, deer kebab, deer stew, deer beer, deer soup, fried deer, stir fried deer, deer fries, deer cake, deer pie, deer punch, deer cookies, deer milk......... and deer was on the menu for the few weeks too

oh and YES, the cat survived in the end! doesnt even have a scar, lil tough guy. even surrounded by 7-8 deer, it fought back! even though she had not a chance, she went down fighting like a pro, like a champ! the cat and the dog are now friends by the way (not bonded in game unfortunately) and the cat now has a sleeping spot in Sirins and Daves room, next to where the dog sleeps    *feeeeeeeeeeeels*

so..... 5 colonists: Seraph the charming shooter guy, Jane the badass no hair chick, Sirin the surgeon and her lover Dave who is just a douche bag, Betty the miner and animal expert, 1 cat, 1 dog... all living together.

one day, 2 dromedaries (the camel like animals but with only one hump) came by the colony and obviously felt comfy with us because they never left the area again. After a few days we felt bad watching them sleep outside, especially when it rained... so we built them a "barn" type building, with a little roof and 2 beds to sleep in! They felt right at home and made the sleeping spots their own in no time. Betty the miner, who is also an animal expert, eventually bonded with one of them, giving him the name "Giggles".

One evening, Dave and Betty were spending some time alone in the kitchen and were having some beers ... and a "too good of a talk"! That good talk turned to a flirt, that flirt turned to a whole lot more that night! So Dave went and cheated on Sirin! So now Sirin was heart broken and angry as hell, and Dave and Betty were a happy couple. But Sirin put up her strong side, and acted like if it wasent that big of a deal and accepted the situation rather quickly. "Hey at least i have Valentina and Spock, the cat and the dog", she jokingly said ... they always cheered her up. But after that they never really talked about this again. (It was also AWESOME to see..... normally colonists have like "chit chats" and "good conversations" , but after Sirin broke up with Dave, Jane and Seraph would cheer her up by having not just chit chats, but instead "deep conversation" with Sirin .... which i just find way too cool)

Some more time passed, the building(s) grew, the kitchen was expanded, a hospital was built.......

One day, Dave got sick! He secretly went to Sirin, as shes the Doctor in the house AND his Ex, so they know each other well, and he told her that he was having health issues that were getting worse by the day. The first thing SHE said was a snarly "HA, serves you right" comment but quickly started to realize the severity of his situation. Even though she was still angry and pissed at him for the betrayal deep inside, the surgeon did everything in her power to diagnose, treat him and his disease which was gonna cost a lot of valuable medicine during a long period of time. Dave asked Sirin to keep this all a secret, especially NOT to tell Betty. Despite of him being treated for weeks, his condition kept getting worse.... and worse.... Betty didnt know any of this, she thought he only had a "cold" or something... something that would pass eventually.... but Sirin, the surgeon, the EX.... at some point she knew that there was nothing that could be done to save him anymore!..... his autoimmune system was too weak due to the treatment for his disease and this lead to him getting a new, more sever illness..... and in his condition this meant his body would not be able to fight it off anymore.... so even in a super lab of a hospital with the best equipment and medicine, Dave was going to die.

One night, when everyone was asleep, Dave and Sirin were alone in the hospital room doing the secretive treatment. Dave, in a short bonding moment apologized to Sirin for being a douche bag.... however confessed that indeed he loved Betty more because she was quote "hotter and younger than you" and that his heart indeed belonged to Betty. After a while he started begging Sirin to end his life and with it his suffering. After a bit of arguing "no i cant" "yes you can, you must", the usual crap, you know, after some hesitation and a lot of crying she started to overdose him on anesthetics, making him fall asleep..... eventually stopping his heart. This is where Sirins mind went "Snap"! This is where all of it, became to much for her! In a psychotic yet ultra calm state, Sirin then took a scalpel, cut Dave open and surgically removed his heart! She grabbed it in her hand and walked out the room, leaving Dave behind on one of the beds with a huge nasty open wound in his chest. With her eyes swollen, her face red and wet with tears, her hands bloody, holding the blood dripping heart of her cheating ex boyfriend, Sirin slowly walked across the dark building, through the dark corridors through the dark rooms, eventually reaching Betty and Daves door... which she slowly opened. Betty was asleep. The room was dark and quiet. Sirin suddenly jumped on Betty, knees first, violently waking her up and hurting her, locking Betty between her legs making her unable to move her arms. Sirin then started to hit Betty in the face.... with Daves heart..... squeezing remaining pools of blood still inside it, spritzing it all over the place, the walls the bed sheets.... Sirin yeld insults at her, blaming her for the break up, blaming her even for things like the thunderstorms that burned the crops, babbling gibberish and illogical hateful rants at Betty. For so long Sirin kept quiet, for so long she "played along", for so long she played it cool... but now, tonight, all the rage was came out at once. Betty, covered in Daves blood, was totally defenseless. At some point Sirin stopped hitting her, instead tried stuffing what was left of Daves heart down Bettys mouth and in her throat, making it hard for her to breath! In that moment the light turned on! It was Seraph and Jane! "SIRIN what tha hell are you doing" Seraph yelled, pulling Sirin off of the bed and off Betty, slamming Sirin on to the side of the room. Betty sat upright and started coughing out pieces of something that tasted too much like blood... not realizing at all what was in her mouth. Sirin was getting up by the wall looking like a total psycho maniac, smearing the wall with blood from her hands as she helped herself back on to her feet..... she screamed "HE WANTS YOU TO HAVE IT.... HE WANTS YOUUU TOO HAVE!!!" and stormed out of the room. Meanwhile Betty has had a look at what shes coughing and spitting out of her mouth.. she started to realize what it was, what it could be, but she couldnt believe it yet... she was in a state of shock and couldnt grasp the reality of the situation let alone understand why Sirin would do something like this...... Seraph also started to realize that this was a human heart.... and he suddendly softly said "my god... its Daves heart" making Jane go "uughh" as she covered her mouth. Betty looked at Seraph with kind of a dumb look, covered in blood and bruises! She suddenly vomited and passed out.

At this point I realize, Im in my living room, Ive been playing for like 7 hours straight, on my first alpha13 run. The sun is almost up, the birds are singing and im thankful that i dont have to work today.

im telling you..... ALPHA 13 IS THE BOMB!!!!!

Hello everyone!

I opened up a few crypto pods, and out came a lot of dudes..... NOW, they walk around my colony, eating my food. is there a way WITHOUT ARRESTING THEM, that i can make them stay? i build a few rooms with beds to accommodate them but they´d rather sleep on the floor?!

Is there something i can do that does NOT involve arresting or murdering them?

Thx in advance

Hi there!

So ive had the situation, that a dude or dudett passes by, checks out my colony and chills there for a while. all of the sudden a wild boar goes berserk and wants to kill anything that moves. the visitor then attacks the boar yet is defeated and falls into a coma or is incapacitated. the only thing I can do is let them die. if i capture them, the town or colony they are from gets pissed at me.

guest beds? medical meds that guests can lay in?
id LOVE to help them out, heal them, and once they are ok again, send them back to their town, where they can "tell the story" of what happened, making them like me more


same thing goes for animals. could we give them something to eat or something and make them our friends? have like little "pet baskets" where they can sleep within my buildings?
that´d be really awesome
