Six months is too long. Three months I can live with but rimworld won't be getting updates for SIX months?! It is the end times...

The next update will probably be in more like 8 months, since Tynan is taking a 6 month break and then he'll start working on the next alpha.

Hmm, now I want a Megascarab hive event: A hive of megascarabs has decided to set up base in your area. They will build a hive and grow their numbers unless you stop them!

A large group of megascarabs enters the map, accompanied by a Queen. They select a spot, much like siegers and start building random walls and rooms made from a new material, cellulose, low hp, very flammable. The scarabs will consume any vegetation nearby and will eventually come for your farms!

Great list, something I'd like to see added though is how long each species takes to reach maturity.

As for my pick, I went with Alpaca, I love the color of their wool and they're a great moneymaker.

I have a quick question about Alpha 12. How is furniture quality determined? Is it purely by the construction skill of the builder, or does his artistic skill play into it at all? Or is it just completely random?

This should go in the suggestions forum, like your fences post.

Yesterday I sacrificed my cute fuzzy wuzzy alpaca's in order to get a whole bunch of nice Orion Corp gear (glitter tech mod). The visitors wandered into the Alpaca enclosure during a heat wave. I replaced the doors with walls, locking them in. I then waited until they all dropped unconscious from hunger or heat and collected their gear. Unfortunately some of them went insane first and killed the alpacas Still their gear really helped me repel some invasions and the rest was worth a pretty penny.

constructed roofs would be nice if it included a toggle for "show roofs" and various options like wood roof, bomb shelter roof, solar panel roof, glass roof.

I like to google for things like "space colony building games" and this Rimworld thing kept popping up there so I gave it a go and never looked back.

Clearly Tynan is a dog person.

I love this mod and is always the first one i check to see if its updated.

Me too.  Should be option in game IMO.  If I were going across the galaxy to colonize some world, I would be very picky about who I take with me, and heck, we get to pick where we land, as well as who lands with us, but feels like I am wading through spammed resumes in the given UI.

You're not colonizing, you're crash-landing. But I agree I'd like to see this implemented in the base game to.

Hubby and I have a tropical aquarium which you can watch live at: http://www.rougoor.eu/

We've got 10 cardinal tetra's, 2 gourami's, a catfish and around 10 panda platy's. (might have translated some of the names wrong)

#3: In binary.

After a lengthy raid, one raider killed two of my fighters. I had hoped that he would get incaped so i can enact revenge. Finally, he fell and was bleeding out. that would be too quick a death for him. I nursed him back to health, made him watch as we harvested the organs of one of his friends, harvested his limbs and non essential organs, then sent him back to his band along with the others. The pirates no longer attack us...

Times like this I wish the fear mechanic was still in the game

Soon my child, soon, our lord and savior Tynan will release it when he deems it worthy of our gaming

I shall sacrifice a boomrat to his glory before my evening potato meal.
If that doesn't do the trick then tomorrow I shall remove the vital organs of a tribal raider and read them in order to divine the truth.

one time, i killed a squirrel for no reason, then let it rot outside my base
please forgive me al-mightly squirrel gods

Do you have any idea how many colonies have been utterly destroyed by endless waves of maddened squirrels? You probably saved your colony by placing that rotting carcass outside your base, as a warning to its fellows!
