Ideas / Suggested Trading Overhaul
May 18, 2015, 02:56:25 AM
I don't know how many people agree, but I find the trading really annoying in its current form.

First, I'd add an option for Storage (at least on stockpiles) to "Allow Trading"

Then I'd suggest replacing the trading beacon with a trading station or platform of sorts.

On the comms, you'd agree to a trade, with all the items on stockpiles with "Allow Trading" set to "Yes" or "On" or what have you show up in the trade menu. Once a trade is agreed upon, tasks to haul the items to be traded to the trading station/platform would be available, and could be prioritized by selecting a colonist who can haul and right-clicking the trade station/platform.

That way, no oddly configuring storage settings and priorities for each individual item (or copy of an item) you want to trade. With the option to leave important priority stockpiles that can't have their items accidentally traded. Plus, no items degrading in the outdoors while you wait for a trade ship for months at a time.

I am not a coder and I am sure this would be a difficult overhaul, but I wanted to throw my idea out there all the same. Thanks for reading.

I've never made a nutrient paste dispenser, so I gotta go with resytnthesis.

That said, I don't know why my colonists can't just barter for space on a trade ship back home. So ship building was a close second.

My colonist's hand was bitten off by a tortoise near the start of my game. More recently, a tortoise survived being shot repeatedly with a survival rifle. While he went into shock after the first shot, he lost both his left legs and his nose, and survived about 20 gunshots before finally dying. I swear they are nigh invulnerable.

I had a tortoise go mad shortly after starting my Rimworld adventure. I told my knife guy to attack it and it bit his hand off and incapacitated him. My scientist shot it to death with her pistol while my 4th colonist, a 79 year old nudist woman with dementia, rescued the young handless lad and got her toe bitten off in the process.

what about Shog? don't he need some recognition for helping?
Betcha he was out there all flailing his arms and shouting "I'm helping!"
Shog got one of their attackers killed, but that was because they got shot by their own guys' arrows. The other city visitor died before they could accomplish anything with their excellent-quality survival rife, sadly. The tribals just move too fast.

I imagine by his custom background, matching childhood and adulthood, and slightly more attention-grabbing nickname, that this man was a creative reward character, so I thought I'd register and share my short time with him, and hope the character's creator sees the thread.

He was visiting from a nearby city for a while, then as he began to leave, a tribal raiding force arrived from the same route he was exiting with. His companions were quickly overwhelmed, but he fought on to the last breath.

I present to you: Big Red's last stand. RIP you glorious bastard.

I buried the man and his friends side by side by that tiny slate building to his northeast.
