Yes, packed lunches are made from meals.

There is still a chance that colonists might choose to take a simple meal with them when they go out mining or hunting or, like my ascetic gardener snack on potatoes while harvesting, and get the ate without table negative moodlet. Lol

Reserved

For those players who want to play a Tribal scenario but don't want to rush into research or who want to add some tribal elements to their colony, this modpack combines my Tribal Joy, Tribal Beds, and Tribal production mods, plus more!

Furniture:
-Double Sleeping Spot (for scenarios starting out with couples)
-Blanket Beds (both single and double, made from fabric or hides, they're a step up from sleeping on the floor)
-Storage Box (a place to hide ugly items or protect them from the elements if stored outside)

Joy objects:
-Hoop and Arrows (tribal version of horseshoes)
-Three Stones Game (tribal version of chess)
-Tribal Lore Fire (a place for tribals to gather and share stories. Gives a small Social skill boost.)

Production:
-Butchering spot
-Brewing spot
-Art spot
-Stonechipping spot
-Tailoring spot
-Researching spot
-Stone Oven (a primitive oven for cooking food. A step up from the campfire.)
-Smokepit (a small fire to make smoked meat)
-Crafting Basket (tribal version of the toolchest, made from hay, boosts production speed)

Items:
-Smoked meat (preserved meat, can be eaten as is or made into pemmican)
-Psychoid tea (can be used as a social drug or to fight disease)
-Cooked eggs (since you can't use eggs in pemmican)
-Popcorn (gives joy, but not much nutrition)
-Large and small totems
-Large and small rugs
-Urns and decorative pots
-Patchwork Leather (low quality leather patched together at the crafting spot, a good use for all those scraps taking up space in your storage)

Weapons:
-Spear (craftable at the crafting spot, no research necessary)
-Great Bow (craftable at the crafting spot, requires Smithing research)
-Pila (same as Great Bow)

Security:
-Earthen Mounds. (Gives more protection than rock chunks, but not as much as sandbags. Constructable on diggable terrain.)
-Pitfall Trap (a pit with pointy spikes at the bottom, requires Basic Traps research)

Apparel:
-Woven hats and cloaks (made from dried grass or pounded bark, they keep the sun and rain off)
-Muffalo headdress (what every self-respecting Muffalo Shaman should be wearing on the Rim! Like the cowboy hat and bowler hat it gives a small Social boost to the wearer.)
-Tribal Helmet (a wooden tribal helmet, requires Smithing research)
-Tribal Armor (a tough hide coat with wooden slat armor, requires Smithing research)

Walls and Floors:
-Log walls (like wood walls, but with a log texture)
-Barn board floor (uses less wood to build)
-Rough paving (uses less stone to build)
-Random paving (requires research)

I intend to add tents when Nandonalt's Camping Stuff mod is updated for A17.

Tribal Planet removes Outlander, Pirate, and Mechanoid factions from the game, leaving just Tribal factions and the Spacer faction (since it breaks Ancient Danger rooms to remove them). It also introduces a new Tribal Raider faction to replace the Pirate factions. Like Pirates, they raid you just because and can not be appeased with silver or by releasing prisoners.

This mod adds a new Tribal Raider faction to the game. Just like pirates, they will raid just because and cannot be appeased with silver or released prisoners. Be forewarned, worlds which include Tribal Raider factions can be quite hostile to newcomers!

Tribal Joy adds three new tribal Joy items. Three Stones Game is the tribal version of Chess. Hoop and Arrows is the tribal version of Horseshoes. And Tribal Lore Fire is a place for tribals to gather and share stories with each other. It even gives a slight boost to Social skills.

Tribal Production adds new production spots for art, stonecutting, butchering, tailoring, brewing, and researching. It also adds new tribal art (totems and rugs which can be created at the art spot), woven hats and cloaks and a muffalo headdress (which can be crafted at the tailoring spot), cooked eggs and popcorn, a storage box for hiding away your ugly items or to protect them from the elements if stored outside, and a crafting basket to boost productivity.

What's the one thing that's been missing from Rimworld? You guessed it. Poker! This mod adds a new poker table joy item. Not only does it give your colonists joy to play poker, but they get a small boost to Social skills too.

Tired of your colonists being in a bad mood because they ate without a table? Now colonists can take a packed lunch instead.

Made from prepared meals, packed lunches can be eaten anywhere without getting the "ate without table" negative mood.

My A16 versions can be found here:
https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=31879.msg326327#msg326327

As with all my mods, please feel free to use them in a modpack if you like, just please credit me.

Thanks!

I like this idea, too. Would give us a use for all that leather we always have lying around. Lol

I'll check out your mod, XeoNovaDan.

I use Notepad++. Download a few mods, open the XML files in Notepad and study them. I recommend Rainbeau's Editable Backstories as a start as he has explanations for editing the backstory XMLs. Then maybe try tweaking some other players' mods. Then when you feel like you've got the hang of it, start making your own.

Hope that helps!

I like this idea. Maybe it could be in the form of an early bird trait? They get a mood buff for being awake before 8 am or somesuch?

Because of this thread, I am now working on a packed lunch mod.

This would definitely make pyros less objectionable!

I haven't formed any caravans in A17 yet, but in A16 pawns had no problem loading drop pods. They would eat and rest and then go right back to work loading again. I assume caravans are supposed to work the same way. Hopefully the bug gets fixed soon!

There are a couple mods already that add nests, but I agree, it would be great to add nests to the vanilla game. Collecting eggs is a pain until you get dogs that haul. Lol

I just double checked and that is definitely the backstory name. Child story is "plague survivor." Could it be a new vanilla backstory added in A17?

Yeah, still Lite Version. It's just odd that I never noticed it in A16. Not even sure how many games I played with the mod. At least 5 or 6 and never saw any weirdness. Now I've seen this twice in two games.

Anyway, for now it's an easy fix by editing the save file.

Mostly I was thinking because some of the more hardcore players were complaining that infections were now too easy. Adding MRSA to the higher difficulties would definitely add that challenge back into the game, without penalizing the lower difficulty players who were being overwhelmed by infection. Could possibly even add some more difficult diseases, too. Ebola? SARS? Zika? Smallpox? Some totally made up new disease?

Good suggestion. The traits could be Wanderlust and Homebody.

Are animals supposed to run into a fire instead of pathing around it? I had to save one of my huskies because he decided that running straight through a small forest fire was a better choice than going around it. :/

Also, as the fire spread it killed almost all the animals in the area as they didn't seem to move away from it. And when they caught on fire, they couldn't seem to extinguish themselves before becoming incapacitated from their injuries. This included muffalo, ostrich, pigs, and goats.

Also, alphabeavers showed up while the fire was just burning out and over half of them ran straight into what was left of the fire and burned. I suspect perhaps they were trying to eat the trees that were burning. But it was still a bit, um, unbelievable to watch. Lol
