Okay so, not sure if this is a bug with Rimworld or with this mod, but since 2.3.1 my colonists won't chop trees unless I prioritise each tree individually.

Glad you like it.

I think that instead of a gradual and arbitrary degradation, a loss of skill should be the result of extreme physical and/or mental trauma, and the corresponding recovery process.

This one doesn't do much, it simple alters the range of volume for thunder strikes so that people watching your video playthroughs can still hear you.

I agree that the electrical explosions are a bit annoying.

I'm not sure exactly what the criteria for one is apart from rolling against the random incident table, but I know that you can minimise the damage by having separate electrical circuits (to reduce the maximum possible discharge) and by intentionally discharging batteries to avoid filling them too full.  If you can avoid using batteries for some circuits (where you have access to geothermal energy) then do so.

I'll add another version in the top post to turn them off.

The way I see it though, often times when a slave trader arrives, you may not have any slaves to trade, or you might not have anything to trade for what they have in stock, or they don't have anyone that you want.

When you reach a certain size of population, slave traders are going to stop coming by anyway (yes, even if you just want to sell, not buy).  I'll see how it goes, anyway.

Aw, man.  I must be going blind, I totally missed those grammar errors.

If there's something I've learned over the few years that I've been modding XML, it's that numbers matter.  Fifty-odd downloads equal fifty-odd thank-you notes.

Okay, um to answer the second poster's question, yes, I can pretty much handle anything that Cassandra throws at me.  But, after a while, the whole eclipse-flare-eclipse crisis gets a bit old.  It would certainly be nice if the storyteller used more than just two sticks.

But also, if there are modders considering making some new incidents to add to the mix, then you sort of need to ease back on some of the existing ones, otherwise you could end up with that awkward moment when you're fending off hordes of ravenous boomrats, your prisoners have organised a break-out, and a crashed pod has started a huge forest fire... and there's a frickin' solar flare to boot.

I mean, call me crazy if you will, but even Superman had a hard time with two missiles going in different directions.  I am but a mere mortal.

Yeah, the Eclipse-Flare-Eclipse thing is exactly why I made this.

Twelve word description: Less often eclipses, solar flares. Sanity prevails.

This mod reduces the chance for some incidents to fire and/or increases the time before they can fire again. It also makes some map conditions (resulting from incidents) more exclusive e.g. solar flare won't occur during an eclipse and vice versa.

It also delays the first instance of infestation, malaria and plague incidents.

Alpha 15
v1.4.3 -Dropbox -Workshop - Altered Malaria and Plague incidents to affect a smaller max fraction of colonists (0.33 instead of 0.5).

Alpha 14
v1.4.2 Dropbox Workshop - Altered Malaria and Plague incidents to not fire during the first year.
v1.4.1 - Alpha 14 update. Tighter map condition exclusivity than in vanilla. Infestation refire duration lengthened. All good stuff!

Alpha 13
v1.3.6 Dropbox - Alpha 13 compatibility (including day length). Infestations won't happen for the first 45 days.

Alpha 12d

v1.3.5 Dropbox

The research bit makes metal embrasures tougher, basically.

Batteries will short-circuit in the rain if there is no roof overhead.  That's the other possibility.

So, here's a thing.  If you have particularly durable doors (stone for example) then you can create a murder box.

Essentially, it is what it sounds like - a tight space between two doors which your melee units can use to quickly cut down enemies which are using fists.  If you like, you can also let the enemies in instead of waiting for the door to be bashed in.  Once the door closes behind them, they have to bash it to get back out.

Against enemies with power armour, clubs are probably your melee weapon of choice, due to the lower damage resistance.

New release today, featuring Recipe Nurse to add the prison meal recipes to the cook stove.  See top post for details.  Also, let me know if you run into any problems.
