I think that ancient dangers are random so while you get the same map you get ancient dangers in different positions with different things.

Although that might be how it was in A17 I can tell you with certainty that is not correct. I tested it 5 times before I posted the mod, every time same ancient danger locations with the same events "downed friendlies" in both locations.
and restarted the map another 5 times with same results. (the pawns that come out of the caskets ARE randomized however)

Rich Soil locations and amount as well as Vent locations are randomized. (Not sure if vent amounts are randomized though)

Seed = 0
30.72N 44.55E
30% Planet Size
Large 300x300
Normal Rainfall/Tempature Coverage

Features:
+12 Cryosleep Caskets with nothing guarding it and friendlies that need saving or are dead. (Tested this 5 times each time 12 caskets with friends and nothing guarding it)

+Mountainious terrain bottom side completely blocked off
+Nonintruisive caves that doesn't open up the bottom side to invaders
+Marble/Granite (Best combo for vanilla play)
+Large number of vents places randomly
+Lots of minable ores
+Connrected to road network with a dirt road.

-On the far side east on the map away from the main clusters of civilization (there are 4-5 friendlies within launch distance though)

Tip: Wall of the cave areas and add a door (than forbid the door) This will stop pawns from going into the caves and getting slaughtered by bugs.

But seriously when someone play permadeath and think about such methods to cheat, why does he even start a permadeath game ?

Becuase I enjoy the excitement that every action is permanent and there is no going back. If you know there is a way out of that though it diminishes the excitement. FTL, for example, disabled ALT F4 and knowing I couldn't undo made the game very enjoyable. I guess gaming a long time, I learned to recognize weaknesses in systems in a game and taking advantage of it. Usually, I don't exploit systems outside of the gameplay and mechanics itself but with this game, the storyteller AI can be very random in it's events that I feel a bit cheated so I am more inclined to press ALT F4 because it's so easy to do and feels somewhat justified. I know it isn't though and that is why I asked for a mod that disables ALT F4

You don't need a mod for this, download AutoHotkey and write in the script file

Code Select Expand

!F4::Return
This simple script will temporarily disable Alt+F4 for all programs, you can also command to use this block only when run a specific program, or simply suspend the block when you don't need it:  click File > Suspend Hotkeys in AutoHotkey

Ohhh cool thanks I will use this!

[1.) Circumstance]

1.) Circumstance: After embarking, during map generation with Permadeath enabled.

2.) What happened: The game returns to the main menu with error: "Exception from asynchronous event: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
at Verse.RulePackDef.get_RulesImmediate..." (continues to list error)

3.) What you expected: The map to load.

4.) Steps to take: Enable Permadeath option and embark on a tile on the planet to generate the map.

5.) Savegame: N/A

I like playing on perma-death but I feel it is too easy to just press alt +f4 when something goes wrong. Anyway anyone can make a mod to disable it?

World Size, Map size and temp options too please.

Default world size, map size and temp options.

Found this one on Reddit.
seed: mommy     (world size = 50%)
coordinates: 33.10S 7.43E
map size: 325 x 325 (note: I've had up to 5 geysers spawn in that area on the north side of map)

That area is still there at map size 275 x275 and 300 x 300 though you will have to mine your way in.

Just had a look on this map. It's awesome! I love the area up at the top for making a base! Thanks for the seed/coords!

Also, consider using the Infused mod. It gives armour/weapons a chance to have additional effects. There not to op stuff like work-related boost and also a fairly common imbuement that adds HP to the durability of an item.

Ohh cool thanks will check it out!

I always land with mountains or large hills in the road or nearby....  i pick the good ol' temperate forest

You might like this new one I found while randomly picking for a game.
Seed: camiño  (copy and paste works if you wanna try it.
Coordinate:  27.25N 26.96 W
It is a temperate forest with marble/granite mountainous and a stone road.
3/4 of the sides of the map are covered by mountains. There is only 2 entrances into the dome
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1172457125
Really good for mountain base... also not sure if the spawning for spiders is consistent but with the spiders mod they spawn at the top entrance which is good for raiders cause they get stuck in web and spiders sometimes take them out or damage them alot for me.

My current favorite seed and map is
Seed: Korath (Capital K, lowercase orath)
Coordinates: 24.27N/24.09W
Default Map Size and 30% Global Coverage.* (edit)

It is a mountainous terrain with only Granite/Marble. I like it because of the mountain formation which splits the map in half:

I'm looking for some fun maps to play on. One with a large area surrounded by mountains, with only one entrance. But I'm curious to know other peoples favorite seed and landing site coordinates.

Hey there, thanks for the advice. I went ahead and made those changes. I'm considering making an extra category for set-up mods. Although Fertile Fields is a terrain mod, it has heavy focus for farming and farming features so I kept it in farming and added it to terrain as well.

does each steam page have a ludeon furom page/link dropbox

are each steam mod the original forum modder or are there clones/re-uppers in the mix

mod makers will update there own mods clones/re-uppers nevere update there mods coz they did no code work on it.

For now, I just organized all the mods that on steam without bias as to where they originated from. If it had the tag "Mod" and "0.17" I sorted it. When 0.18 comes out I will probably archive the collections into a hyperlink word document and change the collections to 0.18 and only add mods that are made/updated for 0.18

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1167566230

I organized every 0.17 Rimworld Steam mod into different categories to make browsing for mods easier. I will continue to update and modify the collections to make them easier to use

Any constructive criticism or advice is greatly appreciated.

To:do
- Sort mods in each category to place similar mods next to each other
- Link each category with similar categories
- More detailed category descriptions and more intuitive categories headers
-Make Japanse its own category
- Make Combat Extended mods/patches its own category


Any constructive criticism is greatly appreciated. ALthough every mod has been placed... I still got a lot of work to do. Like renaming some of the categories to better names, reordering mods within categories. But I've been working on this for 3 days x 8 hours a day so I'm a take a break for a couple of days and actually play the game.

[Hairstyle Mods 0.17]

Hi, so I am in the process of categorizing all the 0.17 mods by using the collections feature steam has. I will be done categorizing by tomorrow (24 hours from this post).

I would just like to know what you guys think of the categories? Are there any categories that you think I should add/split? Some mods add multiple things like both armour/weapons/factions etc...
I have been putting them in the overhaul section for now.  As of right now, I have only kept mods in 1 category. Should I change that and go with adding mods in multiple categories if I belong.... sorry late for work gtg but I would really appreciate the advice thanks!

For some reason I can't generate a world, it just goes back to world setting...

I had the same problem when I first used this mod. What I did to fix it was, arrange my load order as:
-Core
-HigsLib
-Humanoid Alien Races 2.0
-Combat Extended
-Core SK

If you NEED to arrange the mod order, you didn't read the install-instruction of this modpack anyway and no wonder you got problems.

The ModConfig that I used had the incorrect order.

the game can't spawn raids anymore.

I would try deleting the game and all contents in C:\Users\YOURPROFILENAME\AppData\LocalLow\Ludeon Studios
Than reinstall the game. Make sure mod config file from modpack is put back into location listed above.
Make sure load order is
-Core
-HigsLib
-Humanoid Alien Races 2.0
-Combat Extended
-Core SK
