Why take away control when you can do this yourself already?

Can you not already temporarily settle a spot, cut down all trees, mine all the steel you see, whatever you want, packup and leave again?

I personally find the beauty tab useful to see exactly what is increasing or decreasing said beauty and how much. It's also useful to know how far away from a particular spot the beauty bonus applies.

I enjoy the current art style. At this point I don't think anything else would 'feel' right.

Social fights have nothing to do with the mood system. It has to do with the compatibility rating and what each pawn thinks of the other (it can be between -100 and +100)

I think you are misunderstanding two mechanics at play here.

[force of the elephants tusks]

I thought that maybe it was the force of the elephants tusks that killed the poor soul, as oppose to the ensuing wound.

Is it not the force of the tusks that create the wound? If there was no wound would the force have been strong enough to kill? To me, in this situation, the two go hand-in-hand.

I have to agree with cawsp, scratch may not be a strong enough word.

In fact, never put your hospitals in a mountain.

Absolutely not! The first time a mortar exploded in my hospital was the last time I have ever built a hospital in the open.

Something about the room turning into it's own oven while already incapacitated Pawns and precious Doctors are inside is not a good scenario.

Certainly an interesting idea. It's not like the cows stop producing milk while traveling.

As Serenity said, only in Gravel do I grow Potatoes. Regular and Rich Soil gets Rice (or Corn if the growing season is long enough and I already have plenty of food)

[The Fratellis]

I recently discovered The Fratellis. Here are some of my favorites:

Henrietta
Creepin Up The Backstairs
Baby Don't You Lie To Me!

I play intense or extreme and almost never use turrets. I'll take a few good shooters with assault rifles and a tactically thought out base over a bunch of thoughtless turrets any day.

Agreed!  ^

Are your pawns not already disposable? Sure it sucks to loose one that you had trained for a long time. But that it what makes the game exciting and gives it a sense of danger. There will always be more pawns.

Plus wouldn't "Disposable Pawns" make the game too easy? I mean where would be the challenge? I used to have a habit of save scumming when I first started playing but the game quickly got boring and stale.

Perhaps if it were to be implemented I could simply *not* use them such as I don't currently use turrets, mortars, traps, or save scumming.

EDIT: Goldenpotatoes beat me to the post above  ^  but here is my original post as I put some time into typing it out:



I think Goldenpotatoes put this perfectly earlier:

Just with majority of these suggestions, take a moment to look at the feature you're currently suggesting, and go: "Would this enhance gameplay enough to be worth adding?"

I can't think of any circumstance where what is essentially rape would actively enhance the game past the shock factor of 'wow they actually put that in the game?'

If its powerful enough to make people SCARED of the idea of it being added, its powerful enough to get someone seriously emotionally into a game.

It would also be powerful enough to make someone seriously disgusted at the fact that it is, or would be a feature.

I am willing to bet you would loose much more potential sale than you would gain by adding this feature.

After all, is that not what you want when you build a game? To make it as fun and enjoyable to as many people as possible?

And as fans of the game, do we not want to help grow a large, healthy community to encourage the growth of well asked for features such as personal caravans and the ability to raid other factions?

Sure it may be fun for some people to play out these events. Most may never even use the mechanic. But the public backlash would be IMMENSE, both from inside the community and much larger from out.

I can see no circumstances where rape would be beneficial to Tynan as a developer, or the community as a whole.

+1 for megatherium

I may be mistaken, but can you not already do this?

EDIT: My mistake. I misread what you were asking.

[GAME]

Some topics hit a little too close to home for some people.

This, is probably one of those topics.

We're playing a Science Fiction GAME afterall. I see no place for rape in Rimworld.
