General Discussion / Fiction primer
February 28, 2018, 09:52:30 PM
Hey, has anyone actually read that fiction primer thingy in the pause menu? I just read through it, and it answers a lot of questions I see a lot of people asking, but it also brings up a couple of more questions. Where is boomfruit, for one? It mentions an explosive fruit, but it is not in game. I may be mistaken, and it may not be canon, but I thought it was cool. I'm confused as to its validity or purpose, however.

Well, lets think of this. Rimworld is set in a non-FTL universe. All travel is slower than light, so it would be somewhat reasonable that most people, spacers included, would be from the solar system the game is set in. The spacers falling from space in drop pods are likely from whatever crash/explosion/whatever made the your ship have to drop you on the planet, and as most people would know each other on a star ship, it is likely that your colonists would know the people in the star ship. All of this coupled with the fact that the vast majority of people are from this star system, and the star system has an extremely low population, it isn't too unreasonable that there would be a lot of familial ties.

Now, that being said, I do agree that it can sometimes be ridiculous.

How about no pain from scars? I have a scar on my ankle, and it doesn't hurt. I still approve of the idea that it should lower limb health, but making it so that it causes a permanent mood debuff is just annoying as hell and immersion-breaking.

We already have something that encourages the player to escape. There is an option when creating a scenario to include a "Planetkiller" incoming thing.
