First of all I would like to say - wow, what an awesome update to the game! Since the new version came out, I've been playing it basically non stop for two days! Here I must note that I have played a lot of Rimworld but have skipped the last version and haven't played for quite some time now. I'm saying that firstly because it got me totally immersed again and secondly because I have quite a list of praises for the work that has been done on the game - here it goes.
Starting a new game before this version sometimes made me quit before I even started playing - choosing 3 "ideal" colonist took time and felt like a chore, so I was more than happy with the new selection screen where you can choose to start with only one colonist and start the game quickly. I was also glad that all the starting resources weren't scattered around the whole map but were in close proximity, so I wasn't wasting my initial setup on hauling them from afar.
I love the new colonists icons on top - they are just practical! I like the passing of time being shown in seasons! I like the new expand/clear build roof area tool! Took me a while to notice it was there though.
I'm extremely happy (+50 mood) about the ability to remove floors, reinstall furniture, make your own weapons, armor and helmets at the machining table, carnivore pets not dying from starvation but hunting for themselves, variety of animals on the map, list of leathers alphabetized, new moisture pump so you can again remove mud and shallow water, cremating dessicated animal corpses without problem (what can I say I like my environment clean and without mud). Prioritizing build tasks now works awesome! Prioritizing deconstruction of walls also. I somehow expected it to work for removing floors as well, but I guess the mechanics are different for floors (got around that one by creating a new area around the desired floor so the colonist would finish removing all the floor tiles and then moving on to other tasks). It's also excellent that production benches now have min and max skill limitations, now I can fine tune who works where in accordance to the quantities I have set up! It would also be great if work benches could be reinstalled in a different location.
New social relations are awesome! Double beds can finally accommodate two New music tracks are amazing, I listened to the soundtrack before, but in-game it's just amazing!
Keep up the awesome work Tynan and team!
