That's a good point, realism always should stand aside to gameplay mechanics/balance.

The graphics look really good. Personally I'm not really for the whole "folded a gorillion times katana", though. Historically speaking, the katana was not functionally 'better' than a European longsword. The reason weapons in feudal Japan took so much effort to make was largely due to poor ore quality that required a lot of purification, and also its scarcity (hence wooden armour). The curvature of the blade allowed for a better cut with a swing, but the longsword's sheer length and weight largely made up for the lack of a curved cutting edge. A straight blade also allows for more controlled parries than a curved blade, and this is evident in medieval swordplay tactics. Despite common belief, a katana was perfectly capable of effective stabs; hell, I've seen modern videos of it punching through steel plate. Of course, the European longsword was also fully capable of piercing attacks and typically at a greater length.

To sum things up the katana wasn't a super amazing sword, it had its strengths and weaknesses like many other melee combat weapons.

good point, i guess i got wrong impression from R. Lee Ermey. However almost double the workamount for 0,55 more DPS seems balanced to me.

PS: after some youtube research i will say katana is sharper but more fragile, longsword is more durable. so i guess some extra DPS for katana makes sense, maybe i should also put a higher deterioration rate to katana as balance.

I like that this didn't turn into a pissing match about swords. Also yes, very nice looking mod.

This keeps causing my mods to crash and not load. I can't figure out the issue.

CARLYLE! USE YER STICKEH BOMBS ON THAHT PANZAH!

I'd like to edit existing stories, as I could use Backstories Core and make custom ones, but I like some existing stories and just want to change the body types and some things that get disabled, (As they don't make sense to be disabled to me.)

YES! MUH LASER DRILLS!

And more turrets back! Yes! Blessed be to you Jaxxa.

Are you working on a fix for the turrets?

It can be mod order problem. Did you installed core mod first?

Is it mandatory? I thought they were seperate mod installs?

I think its fine, there tends to be a lot of steel on the map, so as long as you have a nice stockpile and a lack of components it's all good.

It's pretty vital that I use it, considering I have my colonists crafting weaponry to sell on, and traders are few and far between.

Are you working on a fix for the turrets?

Alright then, another question for you lovely people.

I've got the images as tex and tex.dds files, now, I can open these easily, but I wonder why the feth there are two of each same image? Such as FireC.tex and FireC.tex_2?

Also what's up with backm.tex's? Like the beds having a rave-wannabe cousin and the bed is now neon green?

Will this be updated to A13, the doormats were neat.

I immediately assumed after looking through the Rimworld core files, that these .xmls are a weird creation and I should hate them because I can see no texture files, which means they're contained within something that requires a weirder tool to un-contain them so I can edit them and put them back together, yes?

I want to make weapons and new factions. I cannot do this if I lack the tools. Searching finds me some strange things that take apart .dds and other things, but what do I need?

Really would love some WW2-Era weaponry since Project Armoury died.

MP40, PPSH, Degtyaryov, Thompson, Colt, MG42, Sten M2, Lee Enfield... They're all so good, and my colonists need them some Enfields and Stens.

And whenever it comes along, Darude starts playing and the screen flashes in a multi-colour seizure.

Aye.

I always make sure to have a proper doctor and one backup, two soldiers, a crafter, and a miner. Crafters are fucking invaluable late game.

Sadly, I do not have a dedicated crafter, just some dudes that dabble, so everything is bad quality. I want to be able to add a crafter, that can ONLY craft well and cannot fight, but there's no up to date Save Editor or anything.

I never see anyone I like, they either have a trait that makes them worthless or too much of a liability, or they aren't skilled enough/can't learn fast enough.

I want to use something like 'Prepare Carefully' halfway through my game so I can add a balanced colonist, or for there to be a mod where people don't just auto join your colony. It should be a case of 'Hi can I join you guys' followed by 'Hm, no you're not good enough'. Not 'Hi guys I'm shit and now you're stuck with me!'
