one thing  Imthink would be really cool is on the overview panel to display the level of the relevant skill in the checkboxes so you can more easily delagate tasks without having to swap between the character panel and the overview

It does this

You can choose your body shape. The clothes, of course, will change during the game. There are 5 shapes planned: fat, thin, hulk, male normal, female normal. The first two work with either sex.

(edit: hulk is unisex if you really want it to be)

Don't worry, these tactics won't work for long

If nobody buys the pledges I'm gonna name the ship Tynan and the planet Sylvester.

So someone better buy them.

I am joking.

Players may decide their own answers to some of these questions. That's the beauty of story-generating games .

I'd put the last name in normal caps, but this is actually a pretty darn clever idea. I like how you don't try to explain everything.

Of course, any particular subject matter?

Any fiction is fine. Sci fi in a simple tone and style (not flowery verbage) is ideal.

Hello Tynan! I've been a writer on several (currently closed) blogs for a few years now, and I think being a moderator for this forum will be a great option.

I've been one to moderate small communities, and donate all my free time to helping them out. I want to support this budding community,  and work hard to make this the best it can. I can offer all my time other than when I'm in classes. Please think about accepting me as moderator, and thanks for your time!

Oh, this is for applying to moderate creative rewards, not the forums! And can you send a writing sample?

Everyone will get the game at the same time.

DF will be hard to approach; they've been working on that sim for over 10 years and they spent no time on graphics. It's probably won't get quite to that level in the same way as they do (e.g. tracking whether your left sock is dirty). However, I think RimWorld will definitely rival DF in terms of experience quality, especially when you consider how the AI Storytellers will affect everything. And everything you mentioned could very well get into the game.

Splitting repair out is easy on my end. I worry a bit about micromanagement; it adds another column to the overview screen. However, I think it makes sense.

This is really the factions module, which I really want to do! But without actual aliens. They'll be more xenohumans.

Uhm. Further from testing it. Can't quite catch the little bugger. But i think it's when you delete the 1st beds on start. Since i always do that and reposition myself in a more tactical landscape.

Since it only happens on start of the game. The 1st 3 colonist. It doesn't happen on others.

That's the one thing in common i can think of when it activates.

So the repro steps are... delete the starter sleeping spots and wait?

oh good grief... i completely forgot to account for PayPal pledges (forgot that was even available, to be honest)... have we heard any numbers there? but yes, certainly seems possible at this point...

here's a preemptive "congratulations on 200k Tynan!" ...

Yes, 200k was actually passed Friday evening The PayPal has 30k in it right now, post-fees.

Will physical stockpiles and items needed on-site for construction ever become part of gameplay, as opposed to the current Space Logic, invisible stockpiles we currently have?

I'm working on stockpiles right now.
