I had this issue too.
I had Rosters in a defined area 6x5 with enough grass at reach, it seem some went sleeping without eating first, got the Animal starvation message until they woke up and eat.

Also maybe related:
-When you go hunting a sleeping animal, sometime it will get up and go eat some grass, instead of attacking back.
Meaning they don't prioritise eating over sleeping, while pawns do it properly.

Sorry I can't provide my save as I sold all my chickens, will try to isolate the savegame if it occur again.

Mais non! tu écrit très bien : ) Puis c'est dur le Français, meme moi j'aime pas :p

Erazil, si jamais tu as besoin que je te traduise en anglais, envoie moi un message privé, ça sera un plaisir ; )
Erazil, if you ever need someone to translate you, just PM me ; ) it would be a pleasure.

Tynan I love when you write in French :3

I heavily avoid both of them, I rely only on geothermal and battery (using a couple of solar panel and windmill to recharge them, but they usually never discharge and are disconnected)
I was traumatised by the Zzzzt! event after building too much batteries.

And I will continue to avoid them like the plague as long as this event stay in vanilla.

So can't really vote here, they are both unbalanced due to non-constant power flow, even with both overlaping.

Hi,
Your colonist lost his whole arm, but the scyther blade is a hand attachement/replacement, so basically there is no arm to attach the blade on.

The only thing you can do now for your colonist is either find a prosthetic arm or a cybernetic arm.
Sadly, the scyther blade is not compatible with prosthetics (but is working as intended).

I wouldn't had anything to say if you had summarised and explained like you did in your reply ^^

I understand very well what you are trying to bring here, but it is more about a social media and public image issue, than breaking a tabou.
A good thing about this game is choice, let me explain:
Here, nobody is forced to deal with cannibalism, maybe a lot of people playing this game will never do it, because of choice and solutions given to them.
Same for prisonniers, it's all up to you to decide if you want do release them of do strange things that break the human rights law.
Hell they are even under anaesthetics so you can't even directly torture them neither attack them if they are prisoners.

Then come the sex topic.
Yes, it is taboo.
Not it is not allowed on Rimworld, on steam, on most legal video game retailers worldwide. Hence the "lovin' " action when colonist snu-snu.
And here I'm only talking about sex, nothing fancy I admit, but we are in society, there are laws, and there are mass media fallouts if you make too much noise. (see for reference the RPS issue).

Then, here is another level, our actual topic, "rape".
That's not the same as killing someone in a legit conflict. Rape is classified at the same level as torture.
wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimes_against_humanity#Rape_and_sexual_violence
Just a bit of information, nothing much to make a point really, it's just for illustrating my opinion.

Sure it would be hard to come by and it would be in the core game since the beginning, AND we still would be in 2000, maybe "optional rape" would not make much noise.
But here we are today when some random idiot spread bullshit about gender equality, it make such noise that I'm sure lot of people had second thought before buying the game. Even I, was asking myself if that was true, despite being aware that such articles are loads of BS...

Now, just, just imagine a bit, what would happen, if rape came into Rimworld.
What if some funny bastard would come, and started a nice clicbait article titled "RimWorld: where you must rape women to beat the game"
And don't tell me "it will never happen" or "I'm making things up"
You know deep inside this could happen.
And consequences would be just irrecoverable

I don't think a lot of people would buy the game after reading such article, don't you think?...

TL;DR : read the whole post, else it is meaningless.

keylocke
There is no rape in Skyrim (outside mods).
But I guess you could just take the thread from the beginning and start reading, there are useful post in there, and what you said was posted several times already.

I'm not sure tiradimus ever went back to this topic after being accused of piracy...

Women are known to go through changes in sexual preference from puberty to mid twenties.

Not only women, mind you ^^

Thoses are great ideas, and they reminisce me about Fallout2, wich I dearly loved.
But It would be wise to make a mod of it, rather than making it vanilla.
As it was said earlier, RPS and other Buzzfeed/Clickbait/ViewWhore webzines would jump at the occasion...
You know just how fragile is a game/develloper reputation on the internet right? (Peter Molyneux, Phil Fish, Markus Persson, all have their carrier destroyed by the "community" itself)

without being lethal.

This ^
The only idea so far I had, was to create awfull wooden club, burn them to 5% hp with molotovs, then use them as crowd control weapon.
(If you wanna know why wooden club and not wooden shiv,
well the awfull wooden shiv do 1pt damage, but can easily hit the eyes, who never heal)

Just as curiosity, do you all play in fast speed mode?
I only accelerate the time when my colonist sleep!

With the game on x1 speed I can manage all the other stuff like stockpile status, optimising jobs assignements, work priorities, buildings planification...

Sure it look nice when you play it fast, but shit happen really quick.

Maybe that's the issue?
I know that people can't stand to wait for pawns getting the job done, my brother is like that, always on x3 speed...

[he was never put in cryosleep]

He is 39 years old.
He may very well have been a Pimp by the age of 20yo aboard the cruiser that is orbiting the Rimworld.
Then he jumped in rescue pods, been alone for some days, then been captured by a bunch of raiders that ended up regressing into a tribe in, let's say, 10 or 15 years later.

The only thing out of place for me is the fact he was never put in cryosleep, which indeed suppose he wasn't even aboard the ship...

[not]

Hi there, don't know if anyone still read this, nor if I'll be here for a long time as games usually bore me real quick...
But this game is one of a kind so I thought about introducing me-self.

I'm Konscience, a french guy , I'm about to pass (or not) my computer science degree (3rd year).
I really do love games who make me think hard, so you will never see me on those app-like quality games, unless I'm really depressed.

-What introduced you to RimWorld? Or to this style of game in general?

I discovered Rimworld on steam, I don't know, maybe 6 month ago, maybe less I can't say.
I used to play a little DwarfFortress some years ago, was really into it, but i spend more time reading the wiki than playing the actual game.
It's still by far my favorite kind of game, but the lack of graphisms was kind of boring...

-What's your favorite other game?

I really liked "The Void", X3 Albion Prelude, Stalkers series, Souls series and for those who had the privilege to play it, LEGO Rock Raiders.

-Most embarrassing gaming-related story?

Playing multiplayer games with random people. Toxicity in multiplayer games and MMOs is driving me mad, I go in a mental state and start hiding in my room. Final straw was: "Got insulted for being falsely accused of using the wrong skill"

-What kind of breakfast cereal is the best?

I think muesly is quite good, mainly nutrient-wise, but the main issue there you see is, it start going between the teeth as it is quite hard, become uncomfortable...
But you can't beat left-over Carbonaras or bacon and eggs, with English muffins and a nut of butter...
I'm so sad that here in France we do not have anything else than Croissants, bread and confiture, as they are quite expensive (except for the bread, but you need to have it fresh from the Boulangerie, else it's hard as rock).

-Why do you love so much arguing with people?

I'm reaaaally sorry for the future and past blunt replies, sometimes I do not think over my thoughts, and it end up on a forum before I even realise  ^^". In fact I do not love arguing.

I think I'll do some modding in Rimworld, as well as some scenario...
Right now I'm in exam periods so it's not quite possible,
but I already have modded my game by:
-Removing breakdowns
-Reducing pawns social fights and bad social relation effects
-Reducing the frequency of solar flares and short circuit incident
-Reducing consumption of regular standing lamps (75W is really like ye old seal-burner, acting as a bronze lamp & a heater aswell)
Nothing fancy, but I like the the ease of modding here, and the modifications above are not vanilla friendly enough... need no think of better solutions.

Well you can make furniture out of any material, not only wood...
"IKEA engineer" maybe?
