If this is going to be slow paced I might be able to jump in after all. I usually only can play one or two days per week.  I'd love to be a part of this if I don't hold it up too badly.

One reply is good enough, ill be starting my turn now.

At the moment, there is a sort of "time limit" (according to tynan)
you are supposed to die between day 70-150
This is temporary though (I believe).
100 days is most definitely not "instadeath" either in my opinion(in fact its a decent run).

Hey all, so I'm working on testing Alpha 5 and I could really use some help! If you're interested in testing, finding bugs, finding repro steps, and submitting them to the system (and answering my questions about them) please just post here stating so. If you have any relevant experience that'd be good to know too!

Obviously I'll prefer if you actually own the game.

Thanks all!

I would love to help bug-test this wonderful game of yours (if you let me , that is).

(I am a programmer as-well, so i could put things into perspective when notifying you of the various bugs/glitches/exploits)

Its also summer break and I only work at night, so

Will the historical logs be detailed enough for an instant replay of the colony from start to finish?

No.

The history as yet records graphs of some key quantities, and records of certain events. It doesn't give a full replay and doesn't do "historical figures" - though this may appear later.

I thought this was supposed to appear later (You mentioned it once or twice (the hist figs)).
(nothing more then that)

Untrustedlife's signature pretty much says it all.  In case the signature ever changes:

So dwarf fortress in space eh?
I love it.

I love it so much.

Please keep it that way.

Why do i feel a sudden urge to change my sig.......

Ah thought so was hoping i was wrong, wonder if modding in such a facility would be feasible i will have to have a look at some modding guides. cheers for the help johntiger

Sounds to me like a feature  that tynan should consider adding...

I for one, love this idea.

So, it IS going to be a Dwarf Fortress-like history?

Yep

I belive that is the plan.

I believe historical figures are a planned-thing as-well (people who were kidnapped would, for example come back as a raider)

Step 1. Open Rimworld
Step 2. Click on mods
Step 3. Click on "Blasting Charges"
Step 4.
Step 5. Profit

*facepalm*

I was saying bring them back as part of the game and not an "official Mod".

I create MODS. I think I know how to turn them on...

But they are OP, that is why they were removed.

I would describe the genre as "df-like".

It is a management game, but you are constantly under threat if death, just like dwarf fortress.

The story aspect of it is VERY df like. (you can get awesome stories out of the game that are all unique)

Phycic wave? I know I spelled that wrong, DONT call me stupid tho XD

We wont call you stupid for anything... this forum is quite friendly.
Its not like... *gulp*... the OTHER forums...

woah, slow down. the game is in alpha and their is no way to predict when the game will be completed. tynan before said he could expand the game infinitly as much as he wanted. he could add so much until the game is released, one step at a time.

"Dwarf fortress 2 - Rimworld"

I like the idea, just take out the armor degradation.

degredation would work, (just make it slow)

Dwarf fortress does that.

I personally hope he adds a armor system that has a bit more depth then just adding hp.

Maybe just a guard spot that you can assign a group of colonists in no order and they would take turns by themselves. It'd be another use for the warden skill, and maybe have a positive impact on mood for feeling secure.

The "feeling secure" buff would be so easy to abuse.... how about no "feeling secure" thought, but teh rest of the idea is fine...

Not bad
