Wow I never realized!

We never do, tropes happen naturally instead of cliches.

agreed. when i first heard about traps i thought it would be bear traps, spike traps, poison arrow traps, etc..

now that i think about it, why isn't there any poison in rimworld?

just imagine a bunch of tribals with poison weapons. glorious!

Death to deadfall traps!

Traps are just bad overall. Your colonists can set them off as you mentioned and the enemies will just walk past them because it slows down there movement so they prefer to take the path that doesn't have a trap right next to it. Dead fall traps should be hitting legs, not heads to slow down the enemy, the only real purpose for a trap that does almost no damage. The mines should blow up the instant someone touches them not give the horde that is about to destroy you plenty of time to just walk by it.

IMO Deadfall traps are completely unrealistic
This is a deadfall trap: https://sensiblesurvival.files.wordpress.com/2014/05/deadfall-trap3.jpg
Not even tribals would be fooled. Bear traps would be better, because they can be hidden by foliage and etc.

This thread is amazing.

Cannot stop laughing at branch-shiv.

Just trying to figure out what an "awful" wood shiv would look like...

I heard that... uh... Cannibal brawlers like to use those shivs to produce "pig" popsicles. Very effective during the winter.

About the turrets...

I have never found this to work. If you're using paint, because red paint returns only red light and blue paint returns only blue light, if you mix both red and blue paint, you get poo-brown because it now blocks most everything. In fact, any attempt I have ever made to mix any two different paint results in poo-brownish-black. A colored object appears to be the color it is because that's the color it isn't. Therefore, mixing two different colors creates a situation where an object is required to be two different colors, which it cannot be, so you get mostly nothing: Poo-colored.

My guess is that you don't know how to use paint.

Each "thought" has a "flavour text". Random flavour texts for the same thought would be nice

What's this Red and Blue with Yellow? It's always RGB and CMYK, right? If there's Red, the the others are Green and Blue. If there's Yellow, then the others are Cyan and Magenta (and Black).

That's what I thought too. Yellow should be paired with cyan and magenta, not red and blue. o.O

Red-Yellow-Blue https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RYB_color_model
Red-Green-Blue https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RGB_color_model
Cyan-Magenta-Yellow https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMYK_color_model

They are all real.

you can make yellow, green is yellow + blue.

Then answer yellow isn't wrong, in the same way that green isn't too.
Ask an artist and he will answer yellow, ask a physicist and he will answer green.
In my opinion, both should be the correct answer.

Gaming standards 101, red always means health

Sometimes when the bar is full the color is green and when you're dying the color gradually becomes red.

Yellow? Why yellow? It's always been red, green, and blue. What weirdness is this?

Green is only a primary color in additive colors (like your computer's monitor and television) while it's Yellow in pigment colors like paint.

Good idea but...

They haven't resurrected Lady Catelyn in the TV Show, so I suspect they are going to resurrect Jon Snow instead if the audience drops in the next season.
