This is the best list I could find as of now, I hope that helps. "https://www.reddit.com/r/RimWorld/comments/5i8wz5/a16_new_update_features_list/"

Thanks, dude!! That's pretty useful ;)

How am I supposed to keep my idiot constructors from building important stuff, while still ensuring a well maintained infrastructure?
Makes certain mods even more of a must have. Quality Builder to only have the best constructors do certain builds. And Work Tab to have access to the sub jobs.

Combining repairing and constructing is stupid though. If anything we need more granularity. Not less.

I wouldn't use the word stupid haha...There might be reasons behind this change that we don't know about yet...but yeah, I agree. At the very least, they should at least separate stuff like resetting traps from hauling...

Anyone care to give an unofficial, temporary list? Thanks.

I hate toxic fallouts. It just creates so much tedious micro. Basically you are forced to start hunting for animals right away when it happens, but because hunting is so brokenly dangerous right now, you have to draft guys to hunt from a distance...and then you sit out for the next few days and that's it.

I think someone on Reddit actually created a chart comparing all the trees' growth rates and everything. He concluded that Cecropia was the best, as I recall. I'm pretty sure you can still find the post. But that was some time ago, so maybe things have changed...?

You know, if people keep asking these questions about motivations/lore and promptly ignoring/belittling the replies just to keep the argument going, I'm going to start answering in absurd ways.

The reason your colonists still want to build a spaceship after the initial 3 die is because they all act like this:

By my count, only Cpt. DuctTape, Alenerel, Arctic_fox and maybe one other person got the point and replied accordingly. The rest of you were either posting without thinking or probably skipped/ignored what was being asked. That isn't rude? Expect mockery when you do that in any given conversation. Carbon especially brought up this whole religious/belief conversion thing and started to defend it...dude, that's totally not on point to begin with...Yeah, I might be an ass, but at least I read people's threads before posting.

So yeah, swing your mighty hammer, King of Egypt. Do your worst, for I am legion. (Meaning I'll just get another account to haunt your ass :D no, just kidding) Fine, I do feel bad if some of you got your precious feelings hurt (such an unfortunate tragedy). Please accept my human leather as my sincere apologies.

Well Stockholm Syndrome is real as are other forms of conversion / indoctrination presumably.

It's fine if you don't agree with a particular explanation, but if you're going to mock those who reply to your questions in good faith, then I won't be replying to your topics in future.

Why so serious? Also, I'm laughing too hard to apologize :D It's 2017, get used to being teased when you go on a full tangent in any given conversation. The "you offended me and I demand an apology and a pinky swear" thing ended after the election lol

Haha yeah it's almost 2017 so clearly any rules we set in place go right out the window right? Hahaha...

Yeah would you like to take this time to fix your mistake in this thread or should I just go ahead and swing my hammer of bans and we can clear up this incident in a few days when you get back?

What mistake? Guys bust each other's balls all the time. The only mistake here is how people nowadays are so damn sensitive and don't realize guys don't do this because they don't like each other. I also don't like threats. If that's your immediate reaction, then you should rethink your whole administrative methods.

Wouldn't YOU want to leave your shit planet, once you found out glitterworlds exist..?!

Although, yes, your sartorial "flair" may raise some eyebrows, back in civilization xD ...

"Nice hat!"
"Thanks, it was my ex-wife."
"She wore hats too, eh?"
"Pardon?  Oh, no, she IS the hat.  She kept starting fights with everyone, so we ate her."

*sound of person rapidly blinking, then edging away*

"But, damn, this jacket and hat we made are sure sweet, right?  I guess all that moisturizer she used really DID pay off, y'kn-...  Hey, where ya goin'?"

I actually WOULDN'T want to leave that planet. You can imprison, torture and cannibalize whoever you like (or should I say dislike? :D) What's not to love? Selling your enemies' for parts is one of the most satisfying things in human history. It's up there with infecting the world with zombie virus ;) which is totally going to happen in the next 10 years or so

I think more that the starting guys are the protagonists and everyone else is a supporting actor. Even more, usually I get attached to one guy, which usually is the builder since Im always controlling him, and if he dies then I get tired of the game.

I feel the same way about the founding members too! I usually closely monitor their progress and give them the best medicine available. This game really makes you care about your pawns

It's pretty hilarious that some of you don't get it :D Your 3 colonists crash land on a strange planet and you eventually build a ship to escape it. But if those 3 guys die and the tribesmen you recruited end up building the ship and getting the same ending...that doesn't really make sense...There, I'm done being a 2nd grade teacher haha...don't ask me to do it again.

PS: I think Cpt. DuctTape up there provided a "possible" explanation, but I'm not really convinced and still finding it hilarious.

Conversion of a native people to a non-native belief system is a story that goes back centuries if not millennia. Assuming the "recruitment" is genuine (not feigned to escape later), I see no inherent problem with it.

After you have those recruits kill some of their own tribesmen, they aren't going to be welcomed back with open arms anyway.

Dude, I don't think you got my point at all :D

During my service, I was told that hiding behind a 30cm tree provides no cover other than sight protection. 5.56x45mm apparently penetrates such trees without losing it's ability to kill. While those watchtower people are more dangerous, they're also sitting in a lighthouse with little to no protection. Never seen an armored watchtower.

1. What does a tree have to do with anything?

2. Not everyone in the game uses guns with high caliber bullets. For example, tribesmen use bows and throwing spears.

3. Stone watchtowers are a thing. They have been a thing since the medieval times. They were used extensively in Europe during World War 2 as well.

Imagine the tribesmen that you "recruited" somehow want to "escape" the only planet they've ever known :D
