The Forest is shaping up to be a good game, if a little light on content at this stage.

AI relationships would be a great feature, but there are really no benefits to having children. It's pretty much increased food consumption with no way of preventing it that doesn't potentially risk a tantrum mental break spiral. I don't think I've ever heard of anyone having a colony that lasted more than a few years, so it's not likely the kid would grow up to become useful (I personally hate the idea of unrealistic timescales for aging).

Not to mention the moral quandary of having children in a game where getting your eyes blown out and your limbs shot off is a daily possibility (DF isn't so bad because there's no real visual representation of things). And then there's cannibalising children's corpses.

For some reason, it strikes me as bad publicity for RimWorld to be known as the game where children can be mutilated and then eaten...

Research page is finished. I have it down that multiple research benches stack, though I've never really tested it  - if that's not true, let me know and I'll change it.

Not only does it change the header level, but it should also auto-gen the Contents box at the top for you. 

Yeah I know it generates it, that's what I didn't want - it's just not necessary for that particular page, but the headings worked well to break up the list. I found it on google anyway though.

I'll take care of the research page next.

To avoid the table of content, just add the notoc tag. Just forgot how to properly write it, sorry, am on my phone till this weekend.

All good, I found out how to scale text for the titles anyway. 

Use __NOTOC__ at the beginning of the page. Use ==Header== with a reasonable amount of equal signs depending on the header level (like HTML). You should always start from heading level 2 downward.

Awesome, I'll have to remember that next time.

Cheers longbyte1.

That's intended, not a bug. It's to balance out production rates for hydroponics.

It's not a bug, there is a psychic drone that happens with no ship. I'll likely cut it though.

Oh what. D: I've never had this happen to me without a ship, what are the odds/Conditions for it?

In my last game, I copped one a month.

My current one's looking like more of the same, day 40 or so and I've already had 2 of them.

Consider yourself lucky for having never seen it. 

Ok, I tested it, and managed to reproduce it. I tested this room on every standable cell, no dice.




Some other weird behaviour I noticed is that the plants fail to reach full size despite reaching 100% growth, and then randomly update, sometimes from the newly planted size straight to fully grown size.

This thread will serve as evidence as to why our robotic descendants were right to exterminate us...

Where do you think the mechanoids came from?

That is actually hilarious - try to beat out the fire, and they treat you as if you're attacking them.

So much for gratitude!

Eating is lower priority than doctor/patient, so you'll need to keep an eye on your colonists - if your doctors are injured, they'll happily jump into bed and starve to death. For now, you're stuck either temporarily reassigning medical beds for non-medical use until you don't have enough medical beds to accommodate all your doctors, or temporarily assigning new doctors.

Is your prison room mined? Rough rock floors are ugly, so they would counter the environment bonus of the plants. Try smoothing the floors.

If not, throw up a screen shot, that always helps.

Yeah, Alpha 7 will have prosthetics. If you don't have much technology, you'll be able to use 1 wood as a peg leg.

I laughed out loud at the thought of a colonist stumping around on a stump. 

It would be nice, however, if they weren't incapacitated.  Then they could at least man a Comms station or a Research bench or something.  Maybe another colonist (a Doctor?) could drag them around a bit.  Kind of like "You lost your leg?  Well, here's the research bench. Figure out what to do with yourself!"

The research bench is for smart colonists. Invalids get permanently relocated to the crematorium.

Well at least they won't be cold. And they'll get used to the smell.

Traits page is done.

If anyone knows how to make large headings without creating a "Contents" box at the top, feel free to change it. It's not a big deal, it's just unnecessary.

If the animal rotted before it reached the stockpile, the colonists would have ignored it.

Try making another stockpile or setting the existing one to *Allow rotten*.
