Does anyone knows what is this?



Oh that's clever.

If you go to the Steam desktop app, right-click Rimwold in your game list, then go to properties. You'll see a tab labeled "Updates." The first thing on that tab is automatic updates, set it to High-Priority.

See if that helps.

This post was 99% fictional, though loosely based on content within the game.

harvest their organs, install peg legs and dentures and let them go. at some point they will come back as weak and almost crippled enemies to attack you again.

Released prisoners come back in future raids? Didn't know that! Probably because I only take in prisoners I want to recruit...still, that's pretty cool.

It's just a fashion choice (maybe a poor one at that); I really dig trench coats.

If a pawn got his/her leg cut/burned/bitten-off, I remember them being unable to walk. Now, they can walk around, but at 50% speed. When was this added?

A colonist that had suffered a permanent gunshot wound to the brain was killed by another one of my colonists. I remembered I had a resurrector mech serum, and went to use it on her. When she was revived, I checked her health tab to see if it was clear, and the brain injury was still there.

I understand that the fact that it was permanent would make it persist after resurrection, however the serum is said to also heal any and all medical problems, meaning that it should have been removed, right?

Edit: Turns out, a healer mech serum will heal permanent brain injuries, but some clarification as to whether the resurrector mech serum is WAD would be nice.

R-U-D-D are the first four letters in my last name, and my dad's ruddone, my mom's ruddtwo, and since I'm the oldest kid I got ruddthree.

[Bennett's Journal, Aprimay 7th, 5001]

Bennett never liked gardening. It was dirty, and usually hot. And the pulling of the weeds...oh, the pulling of the weeds infuriated him. Now, stranded on a supposedly deserted planet, not even the succulent potato plant could keep Bennett's fury at bay. (Bennett hates gardening so much that he now refers to himself in the third person, apparently.)

I once commanded entire armies. Now I am the commanded. And by whom? Who is nagging at the back of my mind? Perhaps I am merely a copy, a clone? That my commandeer has been me all along?

I know this system. This was no accident, that the ship exploded and that the three of us were "lucky" to be alive, but I am simply to play it off as if it were. And if my new "God" is anything to go off of, obtaining suitable living quarters will be a long and arduous task. We've been chipping away at a mountain for days on end, as a part of his plan. "Oh, I'll do what I did sometime ago: convert a small mountain into a base." He says, unbeknownst of the true scope of this task. Or maybe he DOES know? Maybe our minds are connected? I see a woman he calls "Cassandra" in my dreams. Or wait, did I know that already? I can't tell what the commandeer's memories are, and what are mine anymore. Or are they the same thing? I think my brain may melt, if my body doesn't first, in this stifling heat.

[Captain's Log: May 4th, 2018]

He's surviving well. I didn't think the consciousness translation would go so smoothly; most times the copy would end up diverging, want to return to the spectator's bench for a while more. Though, he screams at night about his lack of control: unable to sway minds, plan empires, and see the bigger picture as I can.

I fear his mind is connected to my own. He knows of the system, and its inner workings. He knows the crash was staged, that he was selected for his skills rather than his character, but he has the weight of a thousand doubts on my his, shoulders. In addition, I am occasionally relieved to find myself in my opulent living quarters, like I haven't slept in my own bedroom in weeks.

Randy is flipping his [REDACTED] over the fact that I insisted on Cassandra taking the wheel, and only letting him drive once (which was over a year ago).

Will continue to monitor Bennett (it's strange saying my own name in reference to someone else...). If he dies, I'll reload from a past file. Or I could just terminate the entire program, and start fresh with a new copy. I guess that'll work too, if my heart can take it.

Maybe give this dude a pep-talk if you want some prisoners before a fight?

You think that's bad? Try a pyromaniac who's incapable of dumb labor, and has a chemical fascination.

The biggest issue with prosthetics is you can't feel crap. Doesn't matter if you've got Adam Jensen bionics, you can't feel textures with your fingers. This might not be an issue for legs or eyes, but RL prosthetics are simply not advance enough to ever be worth it.
Scientists actually did a trial on humans with a prosthetic arm capable of sensing touch. I think it was just a basic tactile response, not anything advanced (like the difference between soft and hard objects), but it's one step closer.

They drop from psychic ships when you deconstruct them.
