This might seem to be not very important, but from a scenario (story) point of view what do you think: is there any communication between caravans and colony and how does it work? If we assume there are radios or some other portable com devices, does it mean that there is no connection for tribals or when you did not research electricity? What are your thoughts about that?

Another fraction: Rimworld Burau of Investigation with its own agents and special forces. Do you harvest organs from prisoners? Does someone have a relationship with pawn under 18? Do you trade hard drugs in large quantities? Other illegal actions? Expect RBI agents visit your colony. You can try giving them a bribe. But what if they are not corrupted? They can arrest the pawn responsible for the crime or you can declare yourself to be outside of the law. And then expect their raids.

Maybe an idea for mod?..

It might be fun after you build your ship in Rimworld to land on one of the Glitterworld planets and see what is going on there... Is it so ideal, as we think it is, or there are some hidden surprises?

Survival in the heart of the highly industrial hi-tech jungle or whatever Tynan's fantasy can offer to us 

I play with Children and Pregnancy mod. Julio and Narda just had their second baby. Andy is 1 y.o. and Luke is one quadrum old. Everything goes great. Julio's opinion of Narda is +77. Narda's opinion of Julio is +79. And it is 20:00.


In two hours Julio asked Narda for a break. His opinion of Narda is +32. Her opinion of Julio is -37. His opinion within two hours drops from +77 to +32 (45 points) without any visible cause and he divorce his wife leaving her with two babies on her hands.


I understand that I could miss something, but what it possibly could be? And is there a number like if the opinion of a spouse drops below +35 he or she asks for a break? Or is it random? Anyway, since it is not possible to keep track of everything wouldn't it be nice to indicate the cause of the divorce in the breakup message? Just for the record

Raylan's Entry

     We crash landed on this planet about one month ago: me, my father Julio Gross, and my mother Narda. My father told us that we are not going to accept in our settlement any strangers, he trusts only to connections by blood. So now they are talking mostly about finding a good girl for me. I am 19. And they are going to accept only young girls to the colony hoping that I will get married. How they are going to get rid of them if it will not work, I have no idea, but it seems like they definitely have something in mind.
     But today something unexpected happened. My aunt Miriam (my father's sister) contacted us and requested help. Well, since she is considered being a part of the family, my father decided to rescue her. And he will take me to help him! We do not have any warm clothes though and it is getting cold out there. I am going to make us some parkas, but at the moment we have enough leather only for one. So my mom and dad are going to hunt two Grizzly Bears living in the woods not far from our base in order to get more leather...

     I can't believe their story! As soon as they went out of the gates, my father with a single headshot put the first Grizzly bear down, causing the permanent gunshot injury in his brain! The second one they killed in about one hour. Now we should have enough leather for two parkas!

I have this guy Troy, who started to sleep in the freezer. First I thought his room is too far and I gave him the closest room to the kitchen (he is a cook). This was like half year ago. But it did not help; he keeps sleeping in the freezer. I woke him up today by drafting and canceling with hope that he will go to his bed. Nope. He finds another spot in the freezer and lays down on the floor. I checked: he is not exhausted. I drafted him again and told him to move in his room, but when I cancelled the draft, he leaves his room and lays down in the middle of the dinning room. Then I bring him in his room again and forbid the door. He steel sleeps on the floor. Any ideas, what's wrong with this guy or with his bed (I reassigned it a few times - it did not help)?

My first thought when I looked out that window: is it PSYCHIC or POISON???

Too much Rimworld lately!

Many others things too like ugly environment, ate without table, slept outside, slept on the ground (maybe even slept in cold) and especially uncomfortable - all those do not make sense for ascetic trait.

Also buffs for having an impressive dinning room, being comfortable and such should not apply to them.

Don't you think so?

It would be nice to be able to take off those things from a prisoner without striping him completely... Maybe there is a way and I just did not find it?

New event when Raid drops/attacks with a goal to free up their faction prisoners. If they get to your prison cells, they open doors and give weapons to the prisoners, who are joining the fight.

Not sure, maybe something like this already exist? I've never seen it is the game.

To be able to produce or to buy some pills helping with food poisoning would be nice...

BROTHER SNAY
Brother Snay saved my life today! I was chased by a pirate and he kindly offered me his protection. The bad guy was equipped with a revolver, but Br. Snay had only one knife, so we made an ambush in his living room and attacked the pirate from close distance. I jumped at his face while Br.Snay approached him from the back and killed him with his knife. "It is not good to kill, - he said, - but if someone comes with this intention, we must protect ourselves". While I was treating his wounds, he told me that I will not be able to stay here, because in their monastic order women live separately from men, and if I want to join them, I may go to Whiterock Convent half day journey from here. I offered him my help for at least a couple of days, because I feel sorry for him: he is all alone here with only one knife (well, and with a revolver now) and he can not even make a campfire for himself or build a trap (for some reason in this Rimworld building a campfire require more skills then building an electrical stove for example, or any other piece of furniture – I could never understand it myself), but he said I must leave in the morning. So, I decided to see how sisters live there and possibly stay with them? Monastic life always seemed mysterious to me... let's give it a try!

Is there any logical explanation why for construction Electric Stove (and other production/furniture pieces) you do not need any contraction skill but for Campfire you need minimum skill 3?

That would be nice to have an altar table and altar spot. The animals can be sacrificed on the altar spot and other offerings like wine and some harvest things or breads can be brought on the altar table. This would allow to bring some religion aspect in the game without any specifications for those players who would like to build church for example. After worshiping their god(s) colonists would get joy for some period of time.

Posted this in Your Cheapest Ideas, but not sure if it is the cheapest one. So, I am posting it here as well. Any thoughts?

[First Short Report by Strapping.]

First Short Report by Strapping.

It is 19th day on the planet. Outdoors -30C. The colony is barely alive struggling mainly with absence of food and warm clothes. There are no animals around (one rabbit was killed a long time ago). Poor dog pet was slaughtered for nothing: its meat was flying away together with our first harvest of rice, which is growing so slow on this gravel inside the living room: a hurricane took it all destroying furniture, cooking and butcher tables, outside doors and almost killing Lindsy, who spent in the bed all next week. Immediately after that almost everyone got a flu so not much work could be done. Starvation has weakened everyone to exhaustion. And then there was a scary raid of 7 criminals. Only me and Sammy where able to fight (with no defenses at all at that time), and it seemed like the end of the story. But by some miracle 4 bandits were down and colony survived. The only one colonist who was able to walk was me and... we started to eat those killed bandits to survive. I could not even prepare their meat on butcher table, because I am incapable of cooking at all. So we were just eating their cold flesh as is. Those where very dark days, major break risks became a routine in the community since then. But at that moment that scary raid literally saved our lives.
   There are two meals left at the moment and about 2 kg of human meat (for 4 colonists). We started to plant our first hydroponics basins though and the harvest of potatoes and strawberries is coming. And as I was writing this, a cargo pod delivered 6 survival meals near by!!! All this suppose to give us some hope? But I am in a very bad mood and I doubt we will survive this coming winter...

Timers option on Sun Lamps would be nice to have. If plants are resting from 7pm to 5am, why waist electricity? And trying to do it manually every day gets a bit annoying

Maybe after some research?..

On 11th of Summer Trader's Caravan full of goods walked in the almost finished room and was locked inside by blocking the doors. Are they going to dye of starvation?
