General Discussion / Sexist Rimworld?
April 24, 2016, 02:26:13 PM
So I just started A13 and so far have 6 colonists, 2 men and 4 women. All the women hate eachother, except for 2 that are sisters, the men have opposite opinions about each of the women, and only the 2 men are capable of dumb labor. I would say it was coincidence, but the 3 prisoners I have follow the same pattern. 2 women and 1 man, the women hate eachother, and the man is the only one of the 3 who can do dumb labor. Of course I know that traits are all suppose to be randomly generated, but I just thought it was a little funny how quickly I become aware of the colonists fitting stereotypes.

Ideas / Interface size should be adjustable
November 15, 2015, 09:29:34 AM
I love this game and play it all the time, but I just got a new computer and it makes it a bit difficult. I just got a new Microsoft Surface which has a default resolution of 2160 x 1440 despite being a relatively small screen. This results in the UI being rather small. I can still play pretty well, in fact it cleans up my view a bit by getting menus out of the way sometimes, but I find myself pausing the game a lot to read small text. Could you by chance build an option into the game to adjust the UI size. I understand that I could change my own resolution settings, but then the game doesn't fit proportionally to my screen, and on some resolutions the menus past the edge of the screen so I can't see or select them.

Stories / Balancing population
August 02, 2015, 11:20:20 AM
So I have determined that this game must decide on the stats for your 4th colonist based on those of your first 3. I started a new game for the latest update and I manage to get all 3 of my colonists to have pretty high over all stats. They were all pretty decently capable of doing everything, except my combat capabilities were a little low. I managed to get my colony up and running fairly quickly and was really just needing that 4th person to randomly show up like they always do, but it seemed to be taking a lot longer than usual. After a couple weeks in game he finally shows up, but is capable of next to nothing. He was a scout as a child and feudal lord as an adult, which basically means all of his stats cancel eachother out. Incapable of dumb labor, intelligent, artistic, creative, caring (and more that I cant remember). Basically though he has great stats for combat and social, and is capable of literally nothing else (except 3 for medicine with no learning ability). It is a very good thing that there is lots of hunting to do, otherwise this dude would be absolutely useless.

General Discussion / Updates
May 16, 2015, 11:36:03 PM
Do we have to redownload the game from the email every time there is an update? Im not complaining, just unsure. I haven't updated since I got the game nearly 2 months ago and I noticed the change log mentioned a lot of things I dont have.

Also, how do I know what version we are on? I tried downloading it and it says alpha10f, but thats the same version I already had. If so, then where are all the things I dont have?

General Discussion / Tribals
May 07, 2015, 11:33:31 PM
So I have seen a lot of screen shots and videos, and read mention of tribals, But despite having several hours (quite possibly a couple days) of play time I have never had a single tribal attack. The thought occurred to me that I have been playing on the same world for all my games, and this world has no tribal faction (like the pirates and visitors have factions). Is that why I havent gotten any tribal attacks? because that would be really disappointing.

General Discussion / Murder?
May 06, 2015, 07:11:13 PM
So I was playing my largest colony (19 colonists, pitiful I know) and I heard the sound of gunfire off screen. I couldnt find it, but when it stops I get a notification that someone died from missing body part. It took me a while to find the body because he died in the middle of my junk pile, but his health panel said he had multiple charge rifle wounds and his brain was destroyed. I would have thought maybe he had committed suicide or something since this guy seems to be the most often depressed of all my colonists, but he doesnt have a charge rifle. Did someone murder him? If so, why didnt the game say he was murdered? Is that a part of the game? because I would actually be really excited if it is.

General Discussion / How do I do surgery?
May 03, 2015, 09:33:37 PM
So I have 2 amputees in my colony (technically 3 but the other one already had a bionic arm), and I finally managed to get a trader with some replacement limbs, but now I have no Idea how to attach them to my colonists. None of my colonists seem to be able to pick them up or anything, except for the guy who cant get out of bed because he only has 1 leg... Also, my doctor only has one arm, so I dont know how this is going to turn out...

Stories / Does the game try to screw you?
April 30, 2015, 01:29:23 PM
So I have been playing the same colony for a little while now, and I have only lost 1 of my total 15 colonists (disease). My colony is pretty well defended, but I just discovered a new area while digging through the mountain. Only 2 days after having discovered the new area I am hit the largest raid I have ever had. Guess which area they spawned in... I just barely got the walls up, let alone any defenses. I saved the game right when the raid started, but about 30 seconds into the raid one of the pirates fired a triple rocket launcher and basically killed 85% of my population...

General Discussion / Weapon comparison
April 29, 2015, 10:02:17 PM
So only having had the game for about a week, I am having some trouble understanding how weapons compare. Obviously sniper rifles have longer range than everything, but take longer to fire, and assault rifles fire faster than pistols, but what about similar weapons. What is the comparison for assault rifles vs charge rifles vs the uzi thing (cant remember what its called)? What about molotovs vs frag grenades? How does the incendiary launcher work (I dont really want to waste it)? Further, what is the difference between any of the melee weapons? Does the material make a big difference? And the armor, which helmets are better? Is a colored shield somehow better than a regular one? These are things I need to know.
