I'm hoping to avoid spoilers so please don't post any, Thank you.

Am I the only one who got scared shitless by the event that happened? Like I honestly saw it coming but holy fuck it hit something deep in me? Am I just to weak to handle this game?

This game is the first "horror" gane I've played and am going to see through, I have however seen 2 movies from the Alien series and didn't bat an eyelash as well as watched a couple of youtubers Play through Isolation and countless other Horror games.

I guess I'm hoping for a decent discussion of some sort to help ease my pounding heart.

I write this for all who arrive as this soon sure to be ruin of Hell's Embargo.

I can't tell you how this all came together other than how my friends happened to arrive.
Linda had mentioned a couple times about how she escaped the Infestation aboard the space station Defiance. About how she was the only one to get to an escape pod amidst all the fighting. She was always a happy lady. Never once gave into the overwhelming helplessness we were surrounded with. Always attempted to help us through our lapses in judgment, especially when it came to Paine.

Paine, the only other friend I had on this planet. He was always quite when I was around, can't say I ever really gave him a chance to speak either. I guess he must have been quite interesting because Linda had seemed to take a liking to him, just shortly after I joined the group of survivors Paine and Linda became an Item, and shortly after that they became engaged. Guess one of them had a premonition of what was to happen.

I believe the attack happened on the 4th of winter two seasons since Linda first crashed here. Everything was going as usual, Linda set out to mine further in the mountain, only to be bested by various patches of marsh and springs of water. We had all congregated inside the common room to sit and talk, when Linda first heard shouts. She being the ever courageous leader she was dashed outside and to a cove to ensure we wouldn't be routed, when we arrived where the fight had started when had already been shot several times. I had ran to some cover behind her taking a couple of shots as well, when the grenadier of the enemy force lobbed a grenade next to her. Before she could react it had exploded, Linda being next to the grenade died instantly her body still lays in the mangled position the grenade had thrown her in.

Paine, having seen this immediately rushed the bastard, before he took him out he had lobbed another grenade this time at me, thankfully the grenade never made it close to me. However at the exact time the grenade went off both a Arctic Wolf and it's prey another of the attack force just so happened to be running past the resting place of it. Both of them were mangled by the blast.

After Paine had taken out the grenadier, still enraged by the death of his Fiancee, rushed the sniper, intent on at least taking a prisoner. Just as he got within striking distance however, the sniper shot, incapacitating Paine. This was the final straw for the raiders as they decided to grab Paine and try to bolt, thankfully the sniper who was not only severely encumbered but limping from an injury sustained in battle saw that I was gaining to muc ground on him, so rather than fight he dropped Paine and fled.

From there it's rather blurry as I came down from my Adrenaline high and reality came crashing down on me. Linda was dead and Paine looked like he was never going to walk on that leg again. I guess I had dragged him to his bed. I stayed there a little while doing what I could to fix him, however sometime after I had started working to save him, he just told me to end it for him. That he didn't want to live when Linda was dead, nor did he want to spend seasons if not years before we could get a prosthetic for him.

Even though we only had a short time together, Linda, Paine, and I had become family. I only hope they can forgive me for my lapse in judgement and are waiting for me on the other side.

I, I severely regret listening to him. But even as I mourn over their losses, I quickly write this for whomever stumbles upon this place. I can't I don't have the strength to bury them. Better to waste away in the air then to be preserved in the ground.

Anyone still play RS on the oldschool servers?

Hello, I was hoping a someone could explain to me what a Moderator's role is on this forum. I know some of the basics are to help other forum members, but am unclear as to what else they do. Another thing i'm wondering is how many moderators there are on this forum.

I'm also mildly curious and slightly interested in becoming one if this forum ever needs one more.

Thank you for those that have taken the time to read this.

I figured we should have a who else thread somewhere so why not here! So here's how this should work, if you find a post about something you do quote that post and then to keep this thread alive. I'll post the first couple. Note this can be about anything, even if it's not related to Rimworld, or Ludeon Studios.

Who else: Has "lost" their life to this game/forum.

Who else: Has lost sleep due to this game, and it's horrible tendency to kill off your favorite colonist.

Who else: Has went on an ingame genocide (when ever possible) against a certain colony/tribe for killing a colonist of yours. Whether the cause of the death of said colonist was accidental or on purpose.


Note: This was done because I was bored, If you want someone to blame. Blame my school for not giving me enough work to do.

Being able to designate doors would be amazing! With that being able to tell what pawn type is allowed through would be able to work wonders for colonies. Even if it's just the vague Visitors/colonist, and the colonist only door. You could probably go even further with it and say, cooks only door. Farmers door (For the next update when husbandry is implemented) and such and such. Would be incredibly useful with prisoners and making a prison like structure.

Not sure if I'm late on this one, but as you probably read on the subject line. Disturbed is back, With one song released to the public and the rest coming August 21! I for one am Excited at this prospect!

I remember one day, after a particularly bad cryptosleep crash, I was healing a young lad that was wounded. I myself had just landed on this planet, but I was lucky my pod had a safe touch down. This kids had scrapped the side of the mountain we were by and then had a rough decent through some trees. through what ever odds he was still conscious, I could tell he was panicking mainly because his mother still hasn't been seen so I started talking to him. One of those sentences was along the lines of this. "One of these days, when we get off this god forsaken planet. we will write a book. About our any struggles we encounter." I had to walk away from him to grab more medical supplies. When I had reached the meds. I recall hearing this Whirring sound but think nothing of it. That is until I heard the explosion of another pod hitting the ground. I knew it had to be close to where I was healing the kid. So I quickly rushed around the stone outcropping to make sure the kid was ok. To this day I can still with a insurmountable clearity the place were the kid was laying gone. Replaceing it was a small crater with some scrapes of metal and the remaining pieces of monkey leather the small container was carrying. I am unsure of what happened for a week after that. The other colonists told me that I was just wandering around, dazed. Eating when they brought me food. This wasn't even the worst I had went through when I was on that planet. But it affected, Scratch that It still affects me the most.

This is a somewhat true happening on my newest play. I was playing with some mods (CrashLanding, Rimfire, and Mad Skills.) The breaking of the Narrator isn't true. But this for the most part IS what happened. Needles to say this kid (I believe he was 16) will be remember forever.

What do you think Pokemon would be like if they were modded into this game? I'm rather curious and would like to hear what every one has to say on this topic.

I've tried learning code (granted not very hard) to make a mod.
This mod being adding in Xenomorphs. I Would appreciate it if a modder, Who knows how to add hidden factions (Like the mechonoids), Make a mod like this. Having Face huggers, Drones, warriors and the occasional Matriarch.
I'm willing to help Locate any information about these aliens (most likely will get from google.) and will test the mod out before any public release.
If you do decide to take on this challenge, please let me know. So I can follow, and help in any way I can.

Ideas:
They be made as a hidden faction, Like the Mechs.
The Drones have a pack like mentality. (Moving and Attacking. Similar to the wargs, except they can use doors.)
They are able to Incapacitate and Steal a colonist to breed more xenomorphs.
Have Warriors try to lay waste to the colony. (They defend the Matriarch if one is on the map. Other wise they just lay waste to buildings, items, crops, and pawn.)
Have a matriarch who spawn facehuggers who will intern have a chance to place an egg inside a colonist. (will kill the colonist (possibly turn them into the butchered meat. for the wormling xenomorph.) and spawn a xenomorph wormling who will eat the dead colonist (and possible animals that happen to be around. And grow up to become a full sized Xenomorph.)
They would have a Resistance to bullets but a weakness to fire.

I understand that not all of this will be possible until A12 or just not even possible at all.

EDIT: If this isn't supposed to be here I will delete it, just let me know.

Hello, I'm wondering, as i'm unsure if the tutorials are out of date (i read that they were), on how one would go about making a faction/pawn type?

Also, I was wondering. How would one make a basic faction. I've been trying to figure things out for a bit now. I've been looking between the wiki's (maybe out dated wiki's) and some of the Zombie Apocalypse mod that and am thinking on how best to do this. I am not sure how to go about this, some help would be appreciated.

Also how exactly would one start? Just looking at the defs. I'm seeing a faction and a pawn. Advice would be Greatly Appreciated

And lastly, What would I use to make the .xml file? I've figured that out. How would the images of the thing you are making come in to play? is it the .dll that does that? or is it something else? Along with that were would you make, and place the pictures at?

Look, I know what your thinking. Multiplayer? How would that be possible?

Well the way I see it is that if you have an internet connection, then you could have a created world. and both put down on that same world.

While it wouldn't be a traditional multiplayer game (like Runescape, COD, or other games.) It would still be a single player up until the point were your friend needs help, whether it be to repel an attack, resources, or people. Were you could either follow said colonists to micromanage. or just let them be the usual npc's that come around. The same could be said if you wanted a more dangerous enemy.

Thank you for taking the time to look at this suggestion.

I think it would be nice to see a more in depth description of what went down. As in I often view the History tab to check on how many little red dots I have.

It would be nice if you clicked on them (or hovered over them to see what happened. I.e. what faction came, Who in said faction came, Who died , who got kidnapped, who lost what, and who was incapacitated.

I figure This would be a nice Addition especially when your story is over, so you can see what happened when an what not. Even if these are just simple. Charlie of the 'so and so', and James of 'so and so' lost a leg. It would be nice to actually have a viewable history.

So please Creators of this wonderful game, Take this into consideration.
