right now, i keep copies of each new alpha for rimworld. if i were already content with the current gameplay and i don't want anything else to get added, then i'll just stop ugrading my copy and hide inside a cave or whatever. i'm not gonna go run around shouting... "stop all progress!! everyone!! i'm enjoying the game as is!!"

That's one of the smartest sentences I've ever found on the Internet. Keep it up!

That makes sense. 22500 silver, 5500 wood 3000 stone blocks 15000 metal plus a clutter of other items; this is indeed heavy for the engine.

Randy could pull the same. I had 5 merchant in orbit once, while being attacked by mechanoid; then a couple of visitor showed up. And then I got 3 months of nothingness.

An M16. Randy made it rain in the first month... Also a pistol and the Lee-Enfield.

I actually claimed and deconstructed the meteorite. It didn't drop anything.
Also, both the Ivy and the meteorite were unattackable.
Where did I go wrong?

What about a tesla turret? high energy consumption, very high ROF (or chaining between targets) electric damage, pain inducing (easier incapacitate)

The title of the thread sounds very wrong...

Also a chanche to reanimate corpses like the cordyceps would be super!

Spreading beyond concrete now!

You have to make them inconscious. Pain does that. Spray them with an UZI; yse molotov coctails, even the LMG is good. M24 shoots limbs off (and heads sometimes). There's a mod that double the chance of icapacitate someone with melee...

Roof or no roof, they are still walled. For not having a common bedroom, try to break line of sight from a bed to another.

I was serious about it

What about tidal generators? 

Some procedure/operation to help with mental breakdowns.

I was thinking e.g.:

• Lobotomy. Surprisingly common in the 40's and 50's, it helped dealing with mental breakdowns. Albeit at the loss of personality, intellectual capabilities, and with a significant chance of unintended brain damage and even death.
• Happiness chip. Less grounded in reality, but only slightly more advanced than the bionic eye I think. Implant a chip for let's say +5 happiness.
• Nerve Staple. A relatively simple procedure that would remove/reduce mood modifiers until a colonist develops immunity for it. Other colonists would be slightly unhappy for this to have been done to a fellow colonist, or even prisoner. (Borrowed from Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri where you could nerve staple an entire city to remove any (un)happiness and stop them from rioting. It was considered an atrocity though)

You could grab one of those pesky AI, using psionic powers to make your colonist go nuts, repourpose it, build a structure, and having it think happy toughts.

Actually, the tought of stopping react to attackers and simply taking the business in your own hands, and raze the base of those b****ards is pure genius.

Also, use your most expendable colonist, give him/her the electronic stunning grenades (I can't remember the correct name) and bomb them. If you succede it's an easy time blowing them up.

Would the centipede be edible?
Would the shot from the plant deliver "toxic" damage -chemical burns-?
Would the gas increase the chance of a psychotic break on colonist, random animal attack, full scale attack by animals, or all 3 togheter?
Would it work as a deterrent for pirate attacks?
Can it be contained by destroing the surronding nature -concrete is your friend-?

Yes, I do have a couple of questions.
