This thread is for people who have a cool idea for a mod that doesn't exist yet, but lack the knowledge, experience, and/or time to actually make them. If a modder finds one of the ideas here interesting, they can make their vision into a reality with proper credits. For an example, here's an idea I had a while ago - growable organs!

Basically, it would be a mod that would allow you to research how to grow animal and human organs from stem cells. A special production structure would be added once you research it that would work similarly to a brewing barrel, where you select what organ you want to grow (except for the brain), input human meat, and wait. Once done, you could implant them into humans missing an organ or suffering from old age, and said organs would work at 100% efficiency. However, lab-grown organs would sell for significantly less than real organs. You could also perform skin grafts using human leather to fix scars that are not on the brain or eyes. With additional research, you could clone animal organs as well, if you input the corresponding meat. You couldn't make an alphabeaver eye with chicken meat, for instance. Same goes for skin grafts.

Granted. With the ability to wipe out all insects at a whim, the world is now freed from the annoyance of mosquito bites. However, since all species of pollinating insects are extinct, most plants go extinct as well. A worldwide famine plunges humanity near extinction, and the few survivors are sent back to the stone age.

I wish my dog could make tea for me in the morning.

Wish granted. However, the genie who grants your wish is hard of hearing. So when you wish for world peace, he smothers the entire world in peas.

I wish that I could breakdance.

Masks would only be treating the symptoms rather than the cause, which is the too-heavy penalty for pawn appearance.  I mean, how shallow are these people?
If they let eating without a table ruin their day, I would say that they're pretty shallow. Jokes aside, there is actually historical precedent for people wearing masks to disguise disfigurement. An industry rose out of creating masks for soldiers who lost eyes, jaws, etc in WWI, restoring some normalcy to those unfortunate men. So I think that it's feasible that people on rimworlds would develop similar solutions to similar problems.

Granted. However, [CONTENT REDACTED] happens, which results in [CONTENT REDACTED], which is really bad because [CONTENT REDACTED], and then Obi-Wan Kenobi [CONTENT REDACTED] your mother.

I wish that I knew the unredacted version of your wish and my corruption of it.

Ideas / Masks
July 23, 2017, 02:11:56 AM
We all have experienced it at some point. You find a colonist who is a hard worker and can castrate a fly with surgical precision a mile away using a sniper rifle, but looks like the lovechild between Frankenstein's monster and the Elephant Man. Not to mention that they lost an eye in the previous raid, so they look even more hideous. As a result of this, everyone mocks this individual until they get killed during a social fight. Behold, masks. You can create one at a machining table, or get it from tribals, raiders, or traders. Basically, what it does is negate any look-relate mood impacts, positive or negative. It even provides a small armor boost to the head. But the trade-off would be that it would take up the entire head slot, so you couldn't wear it with a tuque or helmet on. In addition, if the pawn in question were to have an annoying voice, nothing would change that except for forcible jaw removal. What do you think?

Granted! However, the space now extends to outside of your house and into your neighbor's bedroom. He/she/ze/whatever the PC pronoun of the day is isn't too appreciative of this involuntary makeover, and sues you for 15 googolplex dollars. They win, and you end up with literally unpayable debt.

I wish Catter would stop pretending to be a cat.

How about after they're released, they either run away to safety or join you in the battle, and once it's over, one of the helpers offers to join your faction?

Ideas / Rain ought to make plants grow faster
July 22, 2017, 12:10:04 AM
I always thought rain was kind of useless, except for when you need a fire put out. I think that rain ought to make your crops grow faster depending on how hard it's raining. Also, it should automatically clean dirt and other filth. And yes, I know that it cleans up blood automatically.

+1, though they should only produce chemfuel rarely, perhaps every one or two seasons, to avoid making it overpowered.

I'm bored of just counting down. Let's play a game I came up with that I call, "guess the next number". It's pretty self-explanatory. I'm going to guess that the next number will be 6757.
