http://sketchtoy.com/66370040 This is my attempt at drawing. tried to make the simple is a lot theme do me some good. the drawing is of one of my older colonies wardens. after having his prisoner been beat to death by his fellow grower. he soon after went insane (or sane in this case) and left the colony.

good choice I'd say.

(p.s. someone tell me how I did with the drawing/sketch, I would like to know what to improve/change.

Ah, Llamas with hats. such A sad ending to such A great series.

Merry Christmas, and A happy new years to all

If you were make them stronger, what would you make stronger? Health? damage? dodge? Or other things?

As the Man-hunter event(s) stand they are quite easy to exploit, or ignore.

I think that these additions could be useful to counter those problems.

1. They remember you. If you go outside the safety of the indoors, and one of the animals sees you the  pack goes to that door, and sits near the door. this could be useful for the common poke out the door and get a shot off, and run back in 'tactic'.

2. If you completely ignore the pack of animals, and starve them out, then once they leave, you have an increased chance of the same breed of animal coming back in larger numbers. This might give turtling players motivation to well, not turtle.

3. if you have A turret slaughter house, and the animals start walking into it, then after the first animal dies, have the rest of the pack fall back, any sane animal knows that if one of they're group members gets killed next to them, they probably shouldn't keep stampeding in the same direction, let alone if the animal gets killed from far off. I honestly don't know how to counter turrets, nor do animals, but if the animals fell back at least the player wouldn't get A 3 months supply of food.

This is kinda a false way to fix the problem, but maybe increase the odds of a solar-flare happening during a man-hunter pack event
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

I'm sure they're are some other exploits that I didn't cover, yet those should make the player think twice from doing the aforementioned.

==============================
Here are some other minor tweaks to the man-hunter AI that I think will benefit the game.

the pack of animals stay closer together.

the pack of animals go for the farthest colonist from the colony instead of the closest to them.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
this kind of defeats the whole purpose of man-hunters, but if a wild animal is chasing someone, the person runs inside a door, I would think the animal would at least try to pound down the door... not just get amnesia as soon as he/she walked in.

Maybe this would give more purpose for mortar use. maybe more people putting up proper walls early on.

anyways, leave feedback, and what do you think about these additions/changes?

OP, delete some items, with dev mode, or make a stockpile far away, fill it up, delete the stockpile, and forbid the items. that should lower it.

and to Komyets, I think there is a rule on not using colored letters for the whole post, for instance if you wanted to bold something, or make it pop, sure, but try to stick with default. (If I'm wrong, which I might very well be, my bad.)

Hey guys, its been a while. I used to be very active on the forums, and I got burned out.

I started in alpha 4, and made a colony in every alpha until alpha 9, which I got burned out. not many mods caught my eye, I started my obsession with CS, and generally had more on my plate IRL wise.

I wanted to get back Into RimWorld, anything that I should know? I watched the update videos from Tynan, skimmed over the patch notes, which I found Tynan was taking a break (A well deserved one) and figured I had time to make a good colony before An update came along and forced me to move on to a new colony. whats the gossip going around now? what have I missed? anything I should know?

Nice coming back to such a nice group of people.

Ill test for you

My notes: to start sorry for being inactive on the forums lately, been addicted to Counter strike. Although I don't post much I check every day. I always try out each alpha, Starting at alpha 4 I haven't missed a single one. anyways this take a bit from my old story 'help I'm being kidnapped!' don't expect the best of grammar, Capitals, periods, etc aren't my strong points, Sad being a freshman, and not being as good at those compared to others, anyways ENJOY!

I tried to go to sleep that night.. It just... just didn't feel right.. I tried. I did what I could, I mean I couldn't just follow him out there.. I knew he was dead.. oh I knew.. I didn't feel like joining him up there yet. not yet.

Me being the only one to see the 'creatures' you and the others, I must assume.. Believe I did It.
I stared into her eyes to see if she thought I did it.. my depression only deepened..

8 days earlier

As I woke up this morning I felt like it would be a great day. As I stumbled out of bed to my sink, I heard my roommate say, 'good morning' In a bit of a sarcastic voice. When I heard this voice, I thought 'it sure will be a good day' grinning to myself. Jacob, you ready for some hiking? he jokingly said 'of course' as he swung his arm in a over excited manner. we set out a little over 30 minutes later, on my way to the gates I said bye to Beth, my girlfriend, she exclaimed oh hey there, 'I assume you'll be willing to help me tonight, with the flowers, right?' I smiled saying 'of course' and continued walking to the shed where Jacob was waiting. he grinned at me as he handed me my hiking gear and my backpack. when we were a good say.. 30 meters out Jacob said 'you know I enjoy the scavenging job, and you make it better, but really whats the point in our job? we have hydroponics, we mine for metals and stone, and we have have animals for clothing. I mean really what else do we need, that we can get out here?' I nodded and said, 'Well we don't get to choose and the other 200 colonists don't either'. and with that most of the walk was silent. we felt a sudden chill in the air and snow started falling, funny I said, 'Its only September, didn't expect it this early'. Jacob said, 'we should probably head back, were not equipped for this weather'. I agreed and we wen't on the long hike back. about a quarter of the way threw, I heard a noise.. a noise I didn't recognize, I looked around and kept on going about three fourths of the way there, I heard the noise again, I didn't really care, I kept going, but I did care when, I heard screaming next me and a sharp object go threw Jacob. when this happened I screamed as well, covered in blood I stumbled back only to see him get dragged away, I mean in seconds. He was out of sight in a good 4 seconds. me sitting there in shock Started sprinting as fast as I could towards the colony, when reached the gates the guard let me in he asked 'what the hell happened? wheres your partner?' I scurried in side to fall back and realize what just happened. The guard yelled for a medic, and before I knew what happened I was in a medical bed, turns out I was put to sleep with a medicine before I was dragged the the med bay. I awoke to Beth, my good friend Chris the cook, and Kevin my friend who specialized in animal taming.

Once I had woken up fully the colony leader, Addison started questioning me about the incident I told him what I knew and he stood there In confusion, he told the nurse something I couldn't hear and faced back towards me and said 'Theirs only one problem with that. there are no animals for a good 200 kilometers. we went on a mass hunt a while back and set up a fence so no other could get in. I know your a good guy and all, but I think you need a better 'story' than that' and as he said that a couple guards walked in with a look of disgust on their face. and escorted me to a cell. I thought it was crazy, everyone knew I was a good guy, I would never do something of the the nature of the accusation. looking from the cell I looked out the window near the prison entrance seeing a large storm approaching.

I have yet to understand why they immediately thought I did it, why they thought I would become that kind of person, in a day, why it would go from trusting me to looking at me in disgust, in a day.

I was best friends with Jacob, why would they think I could do This act.. this horrible act. it is beyond me

Back to the present.

They have kept me in this cell for 8 days, bringing me food, and the necessity's I have been talking to this woman trying to convince her of my innocence yet they have an incredible bias regarding me.

What ever they think I did that would make the them so haste to suspect me I have yet to know.

Hope you enjoyed, part two will come out once I get the chance. The only reason I enjoy making these stories is because of your responses/comments so respond/comment thanks  :

Pretty damn good. 

Maybe add the second part to the original post. but its good so far
