It's just a simple texture replacement with an added fire overlay....

Here's the mod:

Here's the only code it executes:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<Patch>
<Operation Class="PatchOperationReplace">
    <xpath>/Defs/ThingDef[defName = "MeditationSpot"]/graphicData/texPath</xpath>

Here's the red error I can replicate users are getting, but I'm not sure WHY this would happen:

The mod FUNCTIONS perfectly in game... so IDK.

Naked and Rich starts (have played three)- in a year's time for each I have not received the quest to protect the noble from the beast to initiate Empire membership. I HAVE gotten the quest to protect the rebel and go into psycasting as a rogue quest however (about 2 quadfums in).

WAD or bug?

Was still solo without partner-a s I like to extend that part of the challenge. What are the triggers for the quest?

Oh queried here and had a few others say this happened to them:

It's on a schedule now?

So now they politely schedule it with my warden and on the appointed day I can just have my press gang waiting at the door for them? Was this something players were begging and pleading for?

Seriously I liked the mystery of before.  Anyone know why this was added?

I mean some nobles and their eccentricities could love hunting even as the Emperor. It's a past time. Or h/h combat, or even making art. It should be unpredictable what skills you lose, so that a personality develops and there's that little bit more "story" and interest to it.

I think it would help develop that unpredictable story line that is this game better. As it is it's so gamey and predictable, you time your advances in rank perfectly without surprise.

Like from Gilligan's Island!?  ;D

Simply wish i could control animal breeding better... We're eating dogs now. Puppies! Used to sell them to a neighboring tribe. Too many now.

And must the cleaner enter bedrooms when people are asleep or... Lovin'?  Come on...
#8
Anyone else seeing this? Or is it just me.
#9
I don't want my dudes compiling the 3x3 fridge area with the 10 stack meals all the damned time. It's unneeded. I want a toggle to make that otherwise helpful combining effort go away and top heating up certain rooms.

And btw had two pawns get stuck in an infinite loop each "sorting" a 9 stack, then going to each other's piles and dropping their food. Then going back to their 9 stack, taking one (8) and moving to each others' stacks to drop of their food. They were perfectly timing it and di this for half a day until I drafted one and let the other sort it out.
#10
the patches and notes have lost me for where we are currently at. Are they possible to trigger by friendlies, animals? pets? or are we back at A18 stage? B? Help me out?
#11
do they join my colony instantly? or will i still have them as a prisoner?

thinking of exporting some to a local village... then hanging around.. then buying them back? So i figure the cost in $ I will lose is like the local tribe trained them for me???
#12
For any item that requires refueling, it would be nice to have a toggle for "don't bother." That way I can always relight things later when/if i need them again- torches especially for mining camps and such when I will return but not for awhile. Just like to have the old torch sconce still there...
#13
Something is seriously wrong with the odds reported for hitting with ranged weapons now... literally 100 shots fired with a pistol all misses when reported within 20-33% chance. So thought it might be the pistol's problem... but then 100 shots with a bow all misses reporting 20-30% chance to hit. Hunting.

Something has changed...

Ideas / So could I please inscribe tombstones??
July 05, 2018, 08:35:33 PM
Pretty please? Or is there a mod for this?  ;D
#15
And he gonna die? Is there anything he can do?  :o
#16
Instead of just lasting for days... how about once they dude is passed out drunk or totally high out of his mind it ends... the time limit duration seems not quite right for the flavor of the event.

General Discussion / Refugee information reveal:
July 04, 2018, 05:50:30 PM
So how about: Over the radio while trying to convince you they are worth saving, they tell you maybe 3 things about themselves, one of which is usually a lie... so like: "I'm really good with animals, can cook great Chinese food, and hate drugs!"

..so actually he can't cook worth a damn... and maybe likes to eat too much! So you at least get 2/3 or so attributes that ADD to your expectations of why you would save him and then you don't feel so f'in robbed like I do with no information and a total asswipe endangers my base...

Glitterworld was a far more evocative term, I think. Or is it still in the game?

Ultratech medicine? Blech!!!!

Ideas / Shoes/Boots/Sandals making?

Footwear seems pretty required... idk. Just a thought.
