Check out the promo video for A17 - there is a too that drops in 'chunks' of buildings. I haven't played with it, but you could likey use it to create a random colony.

@maldovix, try running dxdiag.exe and tell us what version of DirectX your system reports. Your log file indicates that RimWorld is using DX9.

I don't yet have other thoughts, but I'm also going to be thinking this one over.

In addition to what Calahan asked, please tell us if you're using a laptop or desktop, and what version of Windows you have.

Also, what graphics card do you have?

The log file *should* be continuously written until RimWorld exits, so it should theoretically always be complete.

I have, however, seen "fragment" log files floating around the forum from time to time.  I suspect that certain platforms (I blame Unity) automatically generate these fragments and store them in different locations, but I haven't seen one recently, so I can't remember the details.  The link in my signature shows you where the "real" log file is stored.

That sounds really familiar to me.  I can't find it now (maybe it was your original support thread that you deleted?), but I am recalling another thread where someone had a Chinese messaging app of some kind that was preventing RimWorld from running.

Anyway, I'm glad you've got it sorted out now!

Also:
1. What's your operating system?
2. Are you playing Steam version or DRM-free?

Regarding the log file, see the link in my signature for directions on how to find the proper log file (or let me know if that *was* the correct file).

Any problems related to mod bugs go in the Mod Bugs subforum. I'll move this thread there and hopefully someone can help you out.

On Windows, the folder is:
%APpData%\..\LocalLow\Ludeon Studios\RimWorld by Ludeon Studios

I don't think that can be changed and I don't think you can exactly do what you're looking for.  But there's 2 ways to keep everything in sync.

1. Use Steam.  This is the easy and sane way to do it.  Make sure auto sync is enabled.

2. Setup an automatic file sync between the USB drive & the PC (check https://portableapps.com/ for ideas) and write a script to launch RimWorld after syncing the files.

It may also be possible to setup some kind of weird emulation software or Windows symlink or something, but that would be highly unstable and not recommended.

1. What's your operating system?
2. Are you using DRM-Free or Steam version of RimWorld?
3. What mods are you using?
4. Attach your log file (see link in sig)
5. Are there any other problems, or just the world map not rendering properly?

Drunken animals are all fun and games - until a Boomalope dies from it!

I'm at work right now, so I can't check that for you, but this is more of a Bug thread than a Support thread so I'm moving this to Bugs.

Stockpile micromanagement or try forcing the colonist to wear the item, then force them to drop it in the prison.

Lots of good suggestions in here.  Note that to "force-wear" or "force-haul" items means to right-click it and choose the appropriate menu, once you've got your stockpiles setup the way you need them.

I believe stigma is referring to the thread where modders can nominate their own mods for inclusion into vanilla. This is not a guarantee that Tynan will use it, of course.

Great, I'm glad to hear it's working now!
