They might be a bit much. I'll nerf them down.

Ammo and melee weapons when?

I really don't think it would be OP, especially if the AI got better.

I absolutely support the addition of mortars. They make a huge amount of sense in the environment of Rimworld - Easy to produce, relatively light, can be used by anybody (with basic training, if targeting computers are involved), and, of course, capable of indirect fire.

I like the idea as well, and it wouldn't take too much effort to turn a muffalo hide into a coat or two. As for hot weather, if/when water gets implemented, droughts should be a thing.

My God, this needs to be a thing. I think the morale penalty should diminish over time though, but there should always be a small penalty. You may get used to seeing those abominations, but that wouldn't stop them from being creepy.

Oh, and if we have these, we should be able to make ordinary, non-spooky androids or other robots.

I donut think these would fit into the game because you suppose to be stranded on a rim world

I agree with you good sir.......

OP, what mods are you using.. you mentioned zombies.

Dropping small to medium-sized prefab buildings shouldn't be much of a stretch, honestly. However, unless a spaceship is coming down and dropping it from near-ground level, I have sincere doubts about it being anywhere approaching cost-effective.

Also, considering the very rude pirates that always seem to find your base, it'd be reasonable to assume that they'd have some kind of AA weapons at their base that could shoot down an approaching cargo shuttle.

So, in my opinion, yes, it would fit. However, I really don't think that traders would be willing to either risk their equipment and crew, or waste their money on gigantic heat shields, parachutes, and landing thrusters.

Oh, and even a very small colony can build, say, a 9x9 out of normal metal walls in less than an in-game day, so again... Not cost-effective.

Has been suggested many times.....

Not sure if everything-seaking water sprinklers is within our tech level though (Tynan has everything separated into tech levels) and i believe we are 'industrial" or "post industrial" (Our colony)
Normal sprinklers would be fine though

Ill see if i can dig up the info.

It appears we are hovering around industrial/post industrial

Well, considering the fact that we can fabricate solar panels on the fly and regularly have trade goods dropped from orbit, I don't think it's too much of a stretch. All it'd really have to do would be to wirelessly monitor the moisture content of the surface of the soil.
Of course, we could do the boring thing and require a "floor" consisting of old-fashioned, early 21st-century, wired sensors that plants could grow on, which would then communicate with the sprinkler.

I think it'd make the most sense to have a significant morale penalty for whoever's being flanked.

All of my yes. All of it.

Here is the current caliber spreadsheet

If I'm reading this right, 16 gauge shotgun shell appears to do more damage than the 12, but it's actually a smaller cartridge.
Fake edit: Is it possible that the 16 gauge damage value was mixed up with the .50 BMG? That would make a lot more sense.

For an independent opinion, I think it's a bit garish. Might want to make it a little more subdued.

Well, I've built a WWII weaponator and weaponizer (I may have mixed that up, but I have both), powered them, and made about 30 gun parts. I also have a colonist with 11 crafting skill, but I'm unable to make any weapons from it, and, if I select the colonist and right-click on the machine, there's no context menu.

No pics, no clicks.

+1 for an ammo system, even if it's only for heavy weapons initially.

What mods would said forums include?
