General Discussion / Re: Introduce Yourself!
January 15, 2015, 07:41:27 AM
Hey guys and gals how you doing?

My name is Barney:

What introduced me to rimworld?:
More like who... I played Gnomoria and fell in love at first sight... i was a t a friends the other day who said *hey Barn, how you doing on gnomoria...? you're gonna love this...* so he handed me the lap-top... and regretted it for the next 5 and a half hours :D, so he did me a cd copy (i know, i know... i AM going to buy this game, next week in-fact, so i can keep updated)

Favourite other Gane(s):
Too many to list, but i will mention a few:
Dungeon Keeper (first and fore-most) which is the game which introduced me to this kind of genre... Also, a lot of MMO's (Yes... WoW included!!!)... Civilization games (namely the Civ series, Ceaser and Children of the nile)

Embrassing Game story:
ok.. truthfuly, holding my grudge as long as i have, let me explain... it was EVE online, 2010... my old friend introduced me to it... he got me into his corp... i was his salvager... a few weeks go by and i fell like i'm getting a duff deal... so, i challenge him and quit the corp... he says if that was how i truely felt, he would give me a big send off... He said if i could run a *pipe-system* all the way there and back, in my stripped Domi, he would not only let me quit he corp without re-buff, he would also give me 5 bill isk (i know he was good for it so i accepted)... TWO JUMPS is all i had left on the way back up the pipe... he was waiting for me, with 8 other corpies... i haven't forgiven, nore spoken to him since.

Breakfast cereal:

Has to be a toasted egg sandwhich (ok... get a toasty sandwhich toaster (the one that flipd open/close) butter your bread, but yous 3 slices (dont butter the 3rd... cut a hole into it) place the first slice as you normally would... put the slice with the hole as the 2nd, but a raw egg in the hole, but 3rd slice on, close lid, wait 5 mins... PERFECT soft fried egg sandwhich!

Pictures, none to ad

General Discussion / Building bases inside mountains
January 15, 2015, 07:29:58 AM
ok, this seems the best thing for survival (read title)... But...

When building in a mountain, how do you vent the heat, efficiently? (i know, place a cooler etc...)... So you dig into your mountain, you build 5 rooms, 3 of them have an outside wall... how do you vent the heat from the other 2 rooms, which do not have an outside wall? do i just mine a chanle to the outside and then place my cooler? or is there a more space efficient way??

Thanks

wow, thanks for the info... sorry i don't know how to filter quotes :/:

Yes... most of the time i die by raiders... the rest of the time it is due to injury/infection and the crypto-pods.... so ofc, i have learnt NOT to open the crypto-pods EVER... and ofc a maximum of 5 people isn't enough to take down 5-6 enimes... (tbh, i missed how similar this was to JA (Jagged alliance), so my survival rate (against raiders) has been upped slightly...


EDIT: its actually insane... because to be very honest i cant actually beleive how fun it is to lose a colony lol (Dungeon Keeper: fond memories :D)
As for mods/modmanagers, i am a complete noob... but thank you so much for the imvormative relply

Hi guyts, complete nooib, a friend showed me this game earlier today, and im thinking of getting it (i took over his game for hours lol) anyway, here is a few things i would like to know.

1: whats up with the turbines??? whenever i make them, i make sure the back and front are clear (i also make sure the middle *gap* is clear too) but... they never reach full power, and sometimes, they dont even activate.

2: whats the best kind of map for *digging in* (building into the rocks so im betetr protected) 2a: when i make a new game on the same map i notice my old colony is still there, can i interact/trade with them?

3: I don't know what im doing wrong, but my longest survival is 64 days, i have even played 99% on the easy AI (the second one?) on *build mode*

4: can i sell anything APART from silver/gold? (it never seems to accept wood or ANY other material (they are *scored out*)

5: final one, and this is a weird one... I have had 5 colonist before and every one has their special professions... why then are no  one working on my farms? (i have to click the farmer, and then the farm to *prioritieze* but guess what? Yeh, he stops worling the farm after ploughin 1-2 crops! 5a: When i start a new game, i only see the *randomize* button, for new colonists... is there any way to pick individual colonists? ( i know you cant set their skills unless you buy a certain version) but what i mean is, it is really annoying to keep clicking the button for at least 10 mins until you find a kick ass medic!!! lol

Thanks guys
