No 1.2 version to see and 1.0 won't work for 1.2
Maybe try out
Faction Control
https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=45519.0

Two entirely different mods that do completely different things.

The 1.1 fix above seems to work almost completely fine in 1.2. The only issue I have seen is the harmonizers will bug out if you switch pawns around between colonies then shut down before the harmonizer buff goes away you will have a bugged mood buff, but that is fixable with character editor or just waiting for the buff to go away before shutting down if you do shift pawns around just before closing a base down.

I could give the pawns more base armor as a race, but that just moves one problem to another. The double enemy health thing works well but its main flaw is having 2 types of humans. The best way would be to only have 1 type of human but its hard to make enemies stronger without giving the player that same ability.

The majority of the errors ended up just being capitals where they should not be since that matters now. Everything else was an easy fix, just time consuming. Not a big deal overall but due to the size of the mod the amount of errors it threw made me think it was going to take longer than it did.

I do also plan on doing another series for the mod but I would like to finish the next update first, which will be fixing all the stuff I found from the current series, which is a pretty long list and some major changes like how raids work and how enemy pawns function since the double health thing isn't the best solution for the mod.

Updated for B18.

Updated for Beta 18

Thanks I will look into that first. I have never used it but if it changes the rules on what can be placed on certain terrain types then that would be the one. I doubt I could do anything to fix that other than recommend putting this mod above it on the load order since that seems to have fixed it for TrEvIzE.

Wow, lots there. Thanks for the list, I will look into the problem.

Good to know. Could you please send me your mod list so I can try to figure out which one may have been conflicting?

You should be able to build it on solid floor, I have never had the problem you are describing. You may have another mod conflicting with it because I am not sure what could be causing that bug.

Right now, no there should not be any raiders spawning with bionics. It is the same as vanilla in that regard.

Mod request - They keep attacking until there all dead instead of running at 50%

Can you explain how you did this ? ( can you add it as a separate mod that makes all "raids" not flee )

I did it by adding "<autoFlee>false</autoFlee>" to each faction. They do technically still flee, but not because they are losing. They will still take colonists and leave, take items and leave, and occasionally just leave when they feel they have done enough damage.

As for making it a mod on its own, sure. I have a few other things I need to get done but I will put it on my to-do list. I can only do it for vanilla factions so other modded factions will be unchanged.

Hahaha that is fantastic... I mean, sorry for your loss.

Glad you enjoyed it!

*Edit* Just noticed this is on the unfinished mods post. The full release was a couple of days ago, you can find the new post along with downloads and stuff here: https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=34750.0

The full version of the mod was actually just released yesterday.

Actual functioning barbed wire. Slows down and damages enemies when they pass through it. Colonists have a small chance of getting hurt.

Ultimate Survival

Ultimate Survival is an overhaul of the standard Rimworld experience. It will kick your ass and make you cry. You have ~2 days to set up a basic base before the raids start, but be warned, once raids start they will come in very frequently. The attacks will grow in strength quickly so you will have to spend the short time between attacks to build and repair your base.

---Important---

For the best experience you should play this with no other mods unless it is purely a utility mod (autoseller, vein miner, allow tools). I am looking for feedback on balance because I am very experienced with Rimworld (playing since A1) so what I find "a good challenge" might be impossible for less experienced players. If you would like to give feedback on the difficulty, be sure to play though a few games before saying its way too hard. If you do leave opinions on difficulty please also state how long you have been playing, and how good of a player you feel you are, this will help me set up difficulties.

Before you get into this mod, you should keep in mind that this SHOULD NOT be played like standard Rimworld. It is a survival mod. Manny Masochist will send regular and ever increasingly difficult attacks at you. Throw everything you know about how to start a colony out the window and learn new strategies, old ideas will not work here!

If you are interested in how I play the mod, or interested in keeping up to date on the progress of the mod, you can check out my youtube channel: www.youtube.com/Ryan123220

Features:

-1 New storyteller
-1 New scenario
-1 New difficulty
-A whole bunch of new raid types, they are the same as standard attacks just stronger because the standard difficulty system was not working well with standard raid strategies. New raid sizes are set up to be "unlocked" as time passes, meaning that the longer you live, the higher chance there is of stronger raids showing up.
-Attacks start like they normally would, but scale up very quickly.
-Attacks come once per day on average, so you have a short time between attacks to set yourself up.
-Global work speed is 3.5x higher so you are able to build, research and craft much quicker (along with anything else that uses global work speed)
-Global learning factor is 5x higher so that colonists will develop their skills at a faster rate. This is done because the overall pace of the game is much faster, so standard skill gain was entirely too slow. This also means that terrible colonists can become useful with some work.
-Orbital traders come frequently to allow you to sell off and buy items quickly, 1 new orbital trader added.
-11 new bionic limbs/organs.
-5 new turrets
-1 new craftable fabric
-2 new craftable drugs
-1 new craftable armor set
-3 new craftable gloves and boots
-4 new craftable weapons
-1 special purchase only weapon
-1 new faction with 5 pawns
-Barbed wire, for damaging defensive purposes
-2 new power generation buildings
-3 new workbenches
-1 raw material that can be used to build melee weapons, walls and most items added from this mod
-New expansive research tab for everything included in this mod

Future plans:
Multiple versions of the mod for different difficulty levels
Look into creating new style of raids
Clean up some of the less than nice looking art
More weapons and armor
More turrets

Useful Gameplay Tips:
Powershards can be obtained by killing most enemies and are used for most things in the mod.
Non-tribe humanoid enemies are non-recruitable! You can make them prisoners for organ harvesting or to be sold but that is it.
When building a crematorium you will need to set it to accept "HumanTwo" bodies, which non-tribal humanoids are now.
Base mood is much higher so do not worry so much about trying to keep people happy. If things get real bad, colonists will break but it takes MUCH more for it to happen.

WARNING

This mod will have attacks that are larger than standard Rimworld attacks. Late game attacks can cause large framerate drops if you try running at a high game speed and/or have a computer that already has a hard time with endgame Rimworld raids. I have done what I could to limit the number of pawns attacking, but it can still get quite high in the largest size of raids.

Patchnotes available in mod folder
If you have any suggestions, let me know and I will consider them!
If you find any bugs or spelling errors/mission text, let me know and I will have them fixed for the next version
If you need to contact me about anything, you can find me at [email protected] or www.youtube.com/Ryan123220

Changes for this version:
(V1.1)

-Beta 18 compatible
-Removed KEM strike until I can balance it with the new orbital stike weapons
-Removed Exosuit until I can fix the "remove all other bionics" bug
-Removed Powercore Mortars until I can balance it with new mortar shells
-Minor changes to recipies and crafting time

Next update will be a big one with a ton of fixes, but for now I just wanted to make it compatible with Beta 18.
