me and skullywag,were considering making a propaganda speaker mod.
given the theme of the game-we want them to be somewhat funny
we know that we have some witty people on this forum,
and were wondering if anyone had any quotes they would suggest and/or request
as scullywah put it

I like this, like propaganda speakers, only issue would be the sound, would need some apt one shots from the community, anyone feel like contributing some funny phrases about "life on the rimworld"

[absolutely rubbish]

  i am utterly appalled by the lack of fantasy mods
its okay,don't beat yourself up about it
i understand- im not angry,just disappointed

anyways i have a plan
im creating a craftable magic wand mod
well i can do all the coding myself(im an amateur but progressing well)
im absolutely rubbish at art

looking for a parner(s) to work on the art
all i need(for the release) is some wand weapons,"magic" item/resource,and a small crafting table
(you'll get full credit for all your work BTW)
well i have a bit of concept art drawn up,
you'll be pretty open to whatever you want to draw

also,well i don't particularly need it(at least i think)
if anyone wants to help the coding/"proofread"my code-id be happy to let you on the team
(again full credit for all work)

anyone interested

[vastly]

ive always found it quite annoying that you cant just(as a challenge)run a 1 person colony
i propose a way to allow colonists to DIY there health
1.you could only-replace organs,treat self,or install peg legs-nothing beyond that
(also HOOK HANDS ALREADY but thats a whole other thing )
2.it would have its own special quality-even lower than the default lowest
3.to not lose consciousness instead of applying anesthetic
it would just be HORRIBLE PAIN that gave a large negative thought quite a while after

it shouldn't be(in any way,shape,or form)a good idea-but it should still be an option

Edit:
the auto-doc bed is now the main idea of this thread
credit to mystic for the auto-doc idea
(i will update this as i get suggestions
cant think of a better way to explain this-so ill just quote him)

Now ... maybe there could be an (incredibly expensive) "auto-doc bed" that could be purchased on rare occasions from an exotic goods trader.  This wouldn't be as effective as a good human doctor, and may not be able to perform every type of surgery, but might be a fallback in such an emergency situation.  I wouldn't be entirely opposed to something like that being in the game, as long as getting one is difficult and a major, major expenditure.

Wow,this is actually a way better idea
Although personally I would rather have it researchable
And cost a lot of either resources or power

Can you imagine an automedic bed malfunction?

hmmmm,maybe 2 different versions
1.that's (relativity) easy to build,average research cost/power,
but quite a high chance of lethal or major malfunction
2.a high research,resource,and power build
but a much higher chance of success

this will remove medics from game completely.

who need medic when can simply rush to autodoc?

the idea would be that even the "2" bed would be vastly
worse than just an untrained doctor
and take way more time-ie:it would be better to just have a lvl 9 doctor
but when theres no other options

They should always need medicine to work (hopper).

this actually gives me an idea-the auto doc "recipes" cost more medicine than usual
this (in addition to all the other suggested drawbacks) should make it so a decent human doctor
(or even a sub-par one)is superior to the auto-doc and it should be used in emergency's only
ie:all colinists are 3-6 or incapable of doctoring

im a complete noob at coding but ive done a few mods on games before
edit:if it helps-mostly xml/ftl:faster than light but a few other assorted games here and there
but anyways-i have 2 questions
1.how hard is it to get into modding rimworld
exactly what it says-im a pretty quick learner but,
roughly how much time would i have to dedicate before i can make a decent original mod?
2.whats the best way to get started
so far Ive just been looking at the wiki for theory,
then looking at mods others have made and reverse engineer them
while Ive replicated a few basic ones,i havent really got into bigger stuff yet
is this the best way to do this?

also-army of smileys for anyone who responds
