So this may seem a little bit stupid at first but hear me out.

So i was thinking that there could be a couple of new events added that go like this.

*A rabid <animal> has wanderd on to the map. It will infect any mammal (or human) it bites.

*A group of rabid <animal> has wanderd on to the map. It will infect any mammal (or human) it bites.

Now in order to explain how raibies could work in game I will describe the infection and Symptom progression.

When a human is bitten the bitten area will show up on the health tab as so [<area> Bite (raibies stage 1). During this time a raibies vaccene (talk about this later) can be given to them to cure the rabies. This will work 100% of the time. If the bite is on a limb you can also amputate it.

After 2-3 days the raibies icon will dissapear and the colonist will act as normal for 15-30 days. (note that a vaccene cannot be given during this time). After 15-30 days the subject will have the health icon [whole body:rabies(stage 2)]. A raibies vaccene can be given during this phase aswell, however this time it only has a 33.3333....% chance of ciring the desease.

Around 5 days after the start of stage 2 the raibies will change to phase 3 with the health tab looking like [Brain: raibies (stage 3)] during this phase talking and eating are reduced by 40% , consiousness by 50% and social by 90%. They will also start regular fights but will not bite [yet].

After another 4 days of this the desease will progress to stage 4. The patient will attack and bite anything it sees ao it is recomended that he/she is kept in a locked room with a paste dispencer in the wall, this stage will last for 10 days with an 9% chance of death each day. If the colonist survives the 10 days then they have a 50% chance of death. After that they will return to normal.

Animal raibies could work the same way exept that they have shorter timescales for stage 2 and skip straght to stage 4 after stage 2. Animals that spawn during the rabid animal events could have stage 3 already (attack anything that moved)

Raibies vaccene : object purchacable from traders, very expensive.

Hi fellow Rimworld players. My parents say that I can have a dog if I want (I'm 16 btw) but I will have to walk/feed/clean/train it myself. So I have 2 questions.

1. Should I get the dog?

2. If I do what dog should I get?

(I do realise that I probably won't be able to play Rimworld as much if I have to look after a dog)

1. Colonists can get pregnant and have babies, this could be ballanced by having artificial incubators that speed up the aging prosses so the new colonist starts out at age 13.

2. Musical instruments could be added as joy objects, the players skill would be ditermined by manipulation and art skill, the player [of the instrument] would get a mood buff and the people nearby would get a mood buff or debuff dependant on the players skill. (I think most of the code used in sclupture making and vewing could be recycled into this one.)

3. Target stands and bench presses. These objects can be built and used to train accuracy and melee stats respectivly.

4. One armed pawns should only be able to use small guns like pistols, PDW's and SMG's.

5. Funerals can be held beside the graves of fallen colonists, this would give all atendants a slight mood buff as they have said goodbye to thair former ally.

What do you guys think about these sugestions?

So I am about 5 years into my most recrnt colony and i have basicaly striped the map bare of steel/platesteel (ect). I have been able to keep going ok by selling beer and buying the steel I need but that dosnt leave any money left for emergencies (such as a colonist needing a bionic arm/transplant). So what should i do to make my economy better?

This whole bloody thing started aout a year and a half a go when a volcano erupted on the other side of the world. The ash blocked out the sun and made everything cold. Our crops (witch were already failing due to toxic fallout) died and with winter fast aproaching we had to kill our cows and 2 of our r 4 pigs.

We still ran out of food though and even though we had 5 hydro basins we still could not produce enough food for all 15 of us. We attempted to send some people out to hunt but, because it was winter the temputure was too cold for us to stay out long enough to catch anything.

Spring came round and, athough the temputure was too cold to grow anything it was just about warm enough to hunt.

By summer time the temputure had risen (to about 0°). But the ash in the atmoshphere showed no signs of dissapating, still, it was warm enough to hunt stuff.

But by the the end of summer we had hunted almost all of animals in the area and we were still hungry. Unfortunatly we had to kill the remaing pigs and the dogs.

Then disaster struck. A group of sappers attacked. They mined thair way right into the hydroponics room and destroyed the basins then in the procinding battle the food store was set on fire destroying half of the food. They were finaly forced to retreat after a prolonged battle, but not before the they had killed engie, ralph and zoe, we also managed to take two prisoners. Who knows how we'll feed them.

Without hydroponics we were forced to hunt squirrels, this kept us going until winter.

We dug up the dead from the battle and ate them, we had to, they were dead anyways so i guess they wouldnt mind.

The food ran out on the 7th of winter. We had no corpses. No potatoes nothing.

We killed the two prisoners the next day, they kept us going for a bit.

Some of us went mad after killing the prisoners. Brick was the first to go mental, he was an empath so i guess he couldnt take seeing people suffer like that. He ran off into the tundra. We never saw him again. The next two mental breaks were much more violent. Sasha and nova both went beserk. We managed to subdue them but they both died of indfections a few days later.

There are 9 of us left.

Stomach worms, thats the last thing we need. Ben, Bianca, joe and xana all have stomach worms.

We told all the people with stomach worms to report to the hospital for a "cure". We didnt tell them the cure was euthanasia. We managed to get ben, joe and xana but, bianca somehow found out what we were doing and tried to run off into the tundra. She didnt get far though, 100 meters out the door she colapsed of severe hypothermia. We sent bill after the body (we needed the food) the came back but with severe frostbite all over his body we had to amputate his right arm and left leg.

We ran out of food (again) at the end of winter. Russel volentered to be killed because he was the oldest, we did it quickly. But then borris and jagerbomb got into a fight over how much food they were each eating and all hell broke loose. I thing jagerbomb got shot and albert got stabbed in the head.

What is the point of surviving if being alive means sacrificing your humanity.

Everyones fighting eachother now. Jagerbomb tried to kill me but i shot him. He screamed and ran off, he sill probably blead out soon anyways. Bill is hiding somewhere and boris os roaming the tunnels with a shotgun. Looking for his next victim/meal.

Borris found bill, i heard the screms coming from the store room.

Jagerbomb went mad and went running out the door shouting somthing about finding a tribe.

Its just me and Boris.

He came at me in the night, with his shotgun in one hand and the last beer bottle in the other, i knew it was me or him. I shot at him with my pistol, i must have hit him because he let out a cry and started firing wildly in my general direction while screaming "my eye!!" i ran away, firing wildly behind me. I eventualy found my self in the store room, with only bills half eaten corpse for company.

I am the last one.

Boris's yells became screams, then sobs, then nothing.

The ash has gone, as are the lives of 14 fellow colonists

What have i done???

I have commited so many sins, another final one wont make much of a differance.

-This note was found by explores on the planet Azkat, tundra region; the note was found hanging round the neck of a frozen corpse. The subject seems to have been killed by a self inflicted pistol shot to the head.


Thanks for reading my short rimworld story. This is my first story so sorry if its a little boring. It is based on a true event that happend when randy random decided to give me a 1.5 year long volcanic winter.

+1 points if u get the refrence in the title.
