Hey there folks; friendly neighborhood admin guy Ramsi here once again to say words about the goings on in our community!

So, did you know we have both a Discord and an IRC? The IRC is the older and more established of the bunch but the Discord recently came out and both are doing pretty swell on population.

Community Discord server:
https://discordapp.com/invite/K4wQe57
Admins: Ramsis + I is a Monkey Mods: A lot of them and we add an extra one every so often.
Rules:
1.) Keep chat topics to their respective channels, a little cross chat is expected in a focused server, so this isn't enforced strictly.
2.) Be respectful to everyone, this is a friendly server and we intend to keep it that way, if a moderator tells you you're going too far, respect that and stop. 
3.) Don't post things that are NSFW/NSFL
4.) No discussion about politics
5.) Respect the admins and mods.
6.) Don't be annoying!

Official development discord server:
https://discord.gg/FYBsdNX
About: This one is run by the Ludeon developers to help test the game, test unstable builds, and gather feedback. Not a general community server, please join if you want to help test the game and give play feedback or bug reports.

IRC:
Server: irc.quakenet.org
Channel: #rimworld
Direct link: irc://irc.quakenet.org/rimworld
Web interface: http://webchat.quakenet.org/?channels=rimworld
Rules: Same as forum rules.

"Remember that IRC is not a regular instant-messaging protocol, a lot of people stay in channels even though they're not monitoring what is said."

Sidenote: The Discord tends to be about 60 percent RimWorld and 40 percent silly/happy/fun talk; we have dedicated channels for different types of chatter. Fair warning I practically live in General.

I've no quarrels with you Vamp, let the record show that right now; also if you take any time to look at my usual ban threats they tend to be on the more jovial and fun side if I can help it. Just try to remember not everyone on this forum is thick skinned, also try to remember we don't force much in the way of caring about age so... you know you could just be shitting all over some kid who in their head was giving you a fair opinion.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I have to yell at anyone who can be perceived as breaking the rules yo.

Falls more in line with you're being an ass, we have rules against being an ass, and it was to the point where I woke up to six different reports against you saying you invited people to a topic only to ridicule them.

You'd also be wise to show some basic respect, especially if a member of the forum staff are calling you out for something you said that is clearly violating our rules.

"1. No personal attacks: No personal attacks or insults - especially angry, inflammatory ones. Feel free to criticize a game, mod, or idea - but take care never to allow that to become a personal attack on an individual. Even oblique or implied personal attacks are disallowed.

2. Sustained hostility or anger venting: Do not post streams of unconstructive, unnecessary negativity or hostility, and do not vent anger here. It just makes the community feel hostile for no reason. This doesn't mean everyone has to be happy or have good opinions of everything and everyone all the time - it means that phrasing complaints in constructive ways leads to much better results all around, and we don't want a community where anger and hostility are behavioral norms.

3. Do not sustain flamewars: If you see behavior that seems out of line to you, report the topic/post using the report button. Don't make a fuss about it in the topic itself. Do not message or respond to people who you think are breaking rules. Simply report them, and move on."

Well Stockholm Syndrome is real as are other forms of conversion / indoctrination presumably.

It's fine if you don't agree with a particular explanation, but if you're going to mock those who reply to your questions in good faith, then I won't be replying to your topics in future.

Why so serious? Also, I'm laughing too hard to apologize It's 2017, get used to being teased when you go on a full tangent in any given conversation. The "you offended me and I demand an apology and a pinky swear" thing ended after the election lol

Haha yeah it's almost 2017 so clearly any rules we set in place go right out the window right? Hahaha...

Yeah would you like to take this time to fix your mistake in this thread or should I just go ahead and swing my hammer of bans and we can clear up this incident in a few days when you get back?

I love all the stuff I'm seeing in this thread and can't wait to play A16

We sadly do not have a birthday blotter on here like most forums but I wanted to throw out a happy birthday shoutout to a homie of mine! Dante King is old, like obscenely old and I'm poorly celebrating it on the forums!

He has made some railgun.... thing..

I made you a cake friend!


Nah but tl;dr Dante had a really shitty birthday and I figured "hey what's a funny way to hopefully make his special day suck a little less than to half-ass a celebration?" Sorry your bday didn't go so well homie, but your other family is here for ya!

I second these requests mod maker, Phi is a stable mod that I feel many more people should use as it opens up the door for inter-game communication and leads to some great works of teamwork being done through trading and assistance.

At the same time, sadly Phi is getting to the point where it reminds me of Starcraft 2 Arcade chat where everyone is screaming at each other, yelling about racial slur that, etc etc. Doesn't happen all the time on Phi but it's only a matter of time. Possibly looking at vote systems for muting people in the system for a day, personal mutes, etc etc?

I'm just going to sit here and eat my popcorn. Not banning anyone yet but boy howdy if this feisty chatter doesn't calm down soon I just might have to...

I'm getting incredibly tired of seeing hate getting slung around and it's going to lead to bans really soon to multiple people. Consider this the final warning because I won't be posting another threat, you'll just be gone for a while. Act civilized or stop posting, two easy options here.

While I'm not the biggest fan of Dark's comment you're working on a mod based around a faction of the world's history that did horrible things to Jewish individuals.... I mean his statement isn't wrong, just bold.

Please refrain from reporting him in the future folks. It's not like we can just act like it never happened; just don't get into GIANT DISCUSSIONS on the page about morality, actions, etc. This is a mod adding content, keep it about the content being added or future content.

Hi there fellow RimWorlders, going to have to ask you all to tone it waaaaaaaaaay down before I start bashing heads. Think you all can learn to not treat each other poorly and have a fun argument?

Terra formar Anime, not zombies but humanoid bugs :-)

But i think Mars will never be a combat heavy simulation like the current Rimworld, more like an event/catastrove heavy survival.

AW SNAP DID I HEAR TERRAFORMARS?!



Most racist but "we got away with it" series I have ever seen. <3

So many wrong answers! We need to all collectively look Tynan in the eyes and say "surgically attach automated turrets to pet Turtles."

Hey everybody! Your friendly neighborhood admin coming to bother you all with a question of curiosity!

I come to you all today with some personal interest on a matter Tynan posted on Twitter about:


Pets and combat... two things I shudder at the thought of. I'm the player who personally will keep a few dogs around the base for breeding and joy reasons. The message of "has given birth" when talking about my dogs gives me a smile on my face. We have a newly born hauler, medical mutt, and just overall benefit to the colony. Sure the little bugger will dirty the colony a bit with dust and the occasional nuzzle in the middle of important work, but all in all my colony benefits from a furry friend... or twelve...

... but then Combat. Oh no, the red siren... there are pirates on the horizon! Ladies, Gentlemen, Others, to your battle stations! Ricky grab your Sniper Rifle and duck behind the bags! Lucille pop your bubble shield on and stand in front of Ricky, you're on protective shield duty! Mordheim you've still got that Charge Rifle? Good, hide behind that rock and shoot anyone too stupid to duck!

WAIT A MINUTE. WHO LET THE DOGS OUT (WHO WHO WHO!) Put those suckers back in the base! The battlefield is no place for our furry friends! The question though is why isn't the battlefield a place for our furry friends? Is it the fact that all animals are strangely allergic to bullets? Maybe the fact that they don't know how to dodge to save their lives and seem to actually attract bullets? It could be that me myself, the actual person behind Ramsi, is the kind of guy who will have his own literal mental break down at the thought of any of his actual dogs taking a bullet or deity forbid die.

I'm a sap for RimWorld <3 every colony, every story, every colonist.. well they matter to me. I don't risk skin when I don't have to! Doesn't matter if that skin has fur on it or not I'm a very safe Turtle player and always have been, even since the earliest days of my RTS times.

So while Tynan asked the question "In RimWorld, are trained animals useful in combat? If not, how do we make them so?" I must admit I'm also curious on if I'm the crazy illogical player or if other people are too attached to the animal element to risk losing a few.

Speak up my fellow players, what do you think about your animal buddies and the wild RimWorlds. Are you the kind of person keeping a small puppy society behind Slate doors or do you have a wild flock of battle-chickens ready to distract the enemy at every turn? Tell me your thoughts and stories; I'd love to hear them

Hey there sport, love the mod, instantly fell in love with it, my only complaint is the lack of pictures to work with! Not everyone likes watching videos sadly.

So, if you can please toss up some extra screenshots of amazing builds!
