Did Y'all miss me? well here is another poll for ya!

I want you to think of your top 5 favorite COMPLETED games(I might do a in development spin off later.)
look them up on google and find who made them(the studio name.) I'm curious to see what everyone plays,but I'm not gonna dare to list off every game in existence (looking at you, whoever made the snake and kingdom hearts game... >.>' )

I'll start off with adding my personal top 5 studios, and as people add theirs to the list I'll update the poll. If one of your studios is on the list, vote for it! everyone gets 5 votes.

so.... here we are. this poll is aimed to be more funny then a full poll, but feel free to suggest additional options.
Personally, I'm glad we got trump over Hillary, but that was one bitter horse pill to swallow. how do you feel?

also, on a side debate: do you really think California will try to leave the union? could we really separate?

remember, play nice, you can always take those negative emotions and sick em on your vict.....colonists.

this would be a sub board to the suggestions page, where players can tell about a experience they believed should not happen or needs to be changed, and even put a link at the end of the story to a proposed solution in the current suggestions board. this would accommodate tynan's desire for "the raw experience" that you can read in this article:
http://kotaku.com/the-designer-of-rimworld-is-here-to-answer-your-questio-1786629134# (credit to Jimyoda for bringing this article to my attention)

Player suggestions themselves are usually more useful as clues to player experiences. I try to look at the suggestion and work backwards to determine: What is the experience that created this perceived need? What negativity or unwanted occurrence happened that gave rise to this suggestion? Players rarely recount raw experiences; they almost always give proposed solutions, but as a designer it's the raw experience that I need because that's what I'm unable to produce myself.

Hello again my fellow demented colony overlords, time for another poll!

This one is a little closer to home. I recently found out from a friend I have feelings for that she believes in never dating an ex, and it left me kinda...shocked?... that she had such a blunt policy.

One vote per person,and if you can condense your policy into a single sentence and it isn't too similar to one already up, I'll add it to the poll.

also for the sake of info, as it could be interesting to see the difference in overall policies,AND if you are ok with it, please tell us your gender.

for the discussion below, please keep it limited to talking to about your policies with ex-lovers and debating their merits and valves. No politics in this one please!

lastly, remember to follow the rules of the forum. we may be demented to our colonists, but let us treat each other with more respect. Toodles!

for part one and those who ARE voting in the elections, please visit part 1 here:
https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=22351.0

This poll thread is for those on the outside, viewing in on this....situation. My question for you all in this-what do you see when you think about the united states? Please be honest,even if it means sounding rude or mean.(at the U.S. as a whole, but calling other users on the site rude or mean things is still not allowed-i'm just trying to "whitelist" calling political figures or the population as a whole things so you lot can be honest freely. if in doubt message me or a mod {try milion,dude is really nice} your response first.)

I've given each user 999 votes, so please vote once on each one that applies to you.

if you have a decent poll result you want added,please say so.

To those who are voting in the election but are still interested in part 2, please kindly follow these two rules
1)do NOT vote in the poll. it ain't for us Y'all.
2) feel free to ask good questions, but do not bash anyone for how they see us. you will only give us a even worse reputation.

Welp, here we are again. This election really feels like picking the least poisonous drink.
Feel free to discuss the conventions below, BUT remember the forums rules and be good little demented colony overlords.   

EDIT ONE: there is now a part 2 poll going! for those outside of the U.S., there is a new poll exclusively for you. https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=24921.0;viewresults

Ok, so I have a late game colony (15 humans, 19 animals,most research completed) and less than a hour ago I encountered my first man hunter pack of the new patch. I set the defense turrets to hold fire, recalled everyone indoors. some of the animals lagged behind, as expected,  but all humans were indoors before they arrived and we did not fight back.

the result? even though the man hunter pack of rhinos never saw a human, and only a few animals, they destroyed 2 doors, and nearly destroyed 2 more forcing me to assemble a execution squad and kill the animals to prevent further damage. I understand a balance adjustment was needed to prevent the "pop in and out of doorway" loophole, but this is too much.a man hunting animal should only attempt to destroy a door if provoked.

Do not use the steam version. I love steam, but the simple fact is the program takes up too much power in the background when rim world is running ; and I just discovered a nasty feature of steam-if you attempt to close out steam while a steam bought game is running, it will forcibly close said game without asking permission. Just stick to the email version.

ok so i'm asking what happened to you all because i'm a second year college student and the field I thought I could work in isn't working out due to medical issues.... I just wanna hear stories of people who managed to find something concrete ^.^' -sigh- I envy those who know what their passion is in life...

edit: wow I was so upset last night that my grammer went down the toilet. whoops.

anyone else here play FTL? I just got done with a round of it and dispite winning against the mothership in several previous games, she kicked my ***.
hack module to my oxygen,activates it
as soon as it is done being active, missile to oxygen,destroying it and setting the room on fire

In two effective moves, the flagship crippled by ship beyond hope and won. owwwwwwwwww

ok , so the stasis module is a extremely expensive module that takes up the shield slot on colonists. it activates right after a mortal injury,saving the colonist, and lasts about a day after which it can never be used again and disappears. it gives the other colonists a chance to rescue and repair the damage done, saving a critical colonist.
while it diffidently should be a one use item, I'm open to whether or not it prevents additional outside damage.

and yes, I'm going threw an idea burst if you haven't noticed. expect additional idea threads to show up in the coming days.

Ok, so from what I can tell gliter world meds do not have any good use beyond giving a good heal, and as such aren't really bought in favor of heal root(I miss the old name btw)

so here is an idea: if the medication is so advanced, could't it cure chronic conditions like asthma or bad backs? if it was allowed to do that gliter world medication's valve would skyrocket in my eyes, much like bionic limbs do.

Furthermore, though this might not be needed, maybe it could reduce a colonist's age?

I'd like to hear what you all think of this, just stay polite about the discussion okay? thank you!

what is my worst nightmare in rim world? toxic fallout? nope. cold snap? just throw a party. heat wave? throw a party. no my worst nightmare are those nigh immortal like mechs showing up. or so I thought.

this was caused by a mech attack to boot. now how do I help this ally? by all rights this human should be dead already, not taking up my best medical bed...

Ok, first off if no one else is experiencing this is might be my computer, she is an old 2 GB ram vista computer....so heads up. 

so I've noticed that when I jumped back into rim world, the game was fine, but over time as my game progressed the game's speed is getting worse and worse. a shut down of rim world usually solves the problem for a while, but the additional time I've gotten from save/restart is on a diminishing return.... this last time I got less than 2 minutes before a full audio crash occurred. 

is this my computer being unable to keep up with rim world or could be another issue? thanks for the input.

howdy, so at least in my experience, the component assembly bench's balance needs to be buffed. so I want to change the output amount for each job from 1 to 10.

But I have exactly zero game programming experience and I don't want to mess something up. can someone guide me through how to do that?

agar.io for those of you who don't know is a simplistic big eat smaller to get bigger game.

what's your highest score? please try to post pictures as evidence!

here is my biggest score.

leave a comment on how you managed to get it so high ^.^

mine is 8.7 in my medical bay.

bug report:
https://ludeon.com/mantis/view.php?id=1171

bug replicated (by accident)
how to perform a replication (i've reproduced it 3 times)

i'll do some more experimenting, but I believe that the key to replicating the bug is that regardless of how big the structure will be, the FINAL piece to be constructed must be a door. (i'm not sure if it must be a wooden door. i haven't gone bug hunting for this yet XD )



I built the 2 pillars after the walls were done to help show the bug.

and I last I see the llllliiiiiigggghhhhtttt
and at last the fog has lifffftteed

I would like to shout out to the 2 other rimworld players in the off topic sub section. they helped me figure how to get this image here. thank again!

ok so i've tried on more than one occasion to upload a picture to ludeon forums or provide a link so I just show stuff that is happening in game but all have failed. does anyone know a good way to shrink the image file size OR a upload side I can then link the image too?
