How do you make an offering? I selected the correct diety and amount but when I select the make an offering button, it gave me a message "Failed to find any offering". Do I have to setup a stockpile next to it or something?

So perhaps the term "minor mental break" isn't particularly accurate in this situation, but having ways for your pawns to say "nuts" to your orders for just a little while would still spice up the game nicely. Call it what you want, but in the end we all just want an interesting game.

In the context of Rimworld, and in particular minor breaks, I always figured mental breaks were a way of saying "Pawn has had enough and decides to disobey orders". They do whatever they want, particularly things that they enjoy, to relieve stress. Perhaps the breaks listed don't qualify as breaks in the medical sense, but they're (mostly) things you might see someone doing when they need stress relief, and they would, for the most part, make the game more interesting, not less; that is the essence of game design.

Well, I thought I would submit a few mental break ideas to spice up the game a little.

Minor breaks
Personally, I think there should be more minor breaks which don't really threaten the colony, but annoy you nonetheless and don't give much catharsis.

Hugs!
The pawn has had enough of all the harshness around here and goes around hugging people without warning.
Hugged pawns get a random mood bonus (I was hugged! That was nice) or penalty (Someone hugged me without warning! That was weird)
More likely if : Kind, Optimist, Sanguine, psychically sensitive
Less likely if : Pessimist, Depressive, Psychopath

Bad food
The pawn is tired of the bad food; they immediately cook and eat a lavish meal.
More likely if : cooking passion

More greenery
The pawn goes outside and grows plants. They can plant any plant that will grow in the current biome, including plants that aren't normally plantable (grass, bush, raspberry).
More likely if : Green thumb, growing passion, ugly environment
Less likely if : hostile weather

Hoarder
The pawn moves gold and silver to their bedroom. It will be forbidden until the break ends.
More likely if : Greedy, rich colony

Fire good
The pawns starts a fire! Outside. With firewood.
The pawn started a campfire.
They will stay around it for some time, gaining social and meditative joy.
More likely if : pyromaniac, heat lover

Runner
Enough sitting down! Time for a race! The pawn runs around (extra move speed while this is in effect), gaining joy and decreasing rest quickly.
More likely if : Jogger, fast walker
Less likely if : slowpoke

Need some lovin'
The pawn grabs their partner and carries them to their bed for some lovin'.

Pet play
The pawn finds colony pets and goes to play with them. May accidentally form bonds.
More likely if : animals skill passion

Taming
The pawn goes out to tame non-hostile animals.
More likely if : animals skill passion, colony has no animal
Less likely if : hostile weather

Player
The pawns starts hitting on every colonist available. Some more than once. Will stop if successful. Does not get a "rebuffed" penalty from this because, seriously...
More likely if : Beautiful, Pretty, Ugly, Staggeringly ugly (yes, all of them)

Cosmic voices
The pawns starts hearing cosmic voices that only they can hear. No, really! Stop laughing!
They will walk around performing random tasks (hauling, cleaning, socializing). Requires Psychically sensitive/hypersensitive.
More likely if : psychic event underway, too smart

This looks tasty
The pawn eats food they really shouldn't eat - raw meat, kibble, hay, hops, healroot. They will get food poisoning.
More likely if : ascetic, cannibal, masochist
Less likely if : high cooking skill

Do it right!
The pawn deconstructs a low-quality piece of furniture (below normal quality) and reconstructs it.

Eureka!
The pawn is convinced they can find something useful. They will rush to a research bench, displacing whoever is using it, and research until food or rest gets low.

Ugly stone chunks!
The pawn is tired of ugly stone chunks everywhere. They will break down stone chunks (removes stone chunks and produces debris).
More likely if : low beauty, mining passion

I'm a therapist
The pawn goes to talk to other pawns, getting them to open up. Other pawns stop what they're doing for a while and get a small cathasis mood bonus.

Singing mood
The pawn sings... poorly. Anyone within earshot will get a mood penalty.
More likely if : annoying voice, creepy breathing, optimist



Moderate breaks
Crafting
A pawn starts making an item, and doesn't stop until it's done. Said item should be something that can be done in one sitting and requiring a crafting skill which the pawn has a passion for.

Awaiting the "most of them aren't feasible" reply.

A bit late but...

In .../Mods/Core/Defs/Drugs/DrugBases.xml look for the following lines.

If you leave the max severity at 1.0 and change the levels for small, large, and massive to any number greater than 1.0, you effectively remove tolerance for all drugs.

With https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=3612.0 not work. When turn off the Miscellaneous w MAI+Robots, EdB works.

In the Modpack https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=16735.0
these robots got expanded to do these job you mention .

awesome thank you.
MVP doesn't use some mods I love, so I just took the robots mod from the .zip file.

Hi, I love this mod, MAI and Robots, but I'm desperately looking for a robot that will harvest/grow crops, cook, construct, mine, things like that.

Are you going to add these into the mod or is there a guide or something I can follow so I can add them myself?
Thanks, love the work.

delete this crap!!!

User was warned because of violation of rule 1 and 2.
Do not insult others and keep it constructive.

wow, no one knows the answer to this huh?

Also started a new game with the above mods and the combat supplier is still blank. So one of those is affecting it.

Found out the mod that affects combat supplier is the combat realism industrialization mod.... possibly because I have the other combat realism on for defense?

Hi guys,
So I just got into modding Rimworld (using not making ) and have installed a bunch of mods (see attached) and game works wonderfully with the order I currently have, except that the Combat Trader now no longer works, all I see is a blank trade screen with my silver at the top.

I have CCL and EDC Trader (last loaded) but something is replacing the Combat Trader, and not giving me a different trader in return.

Please help, all these Pila's are piling up!

Send a single pawn with a good personal shield behind as much cover as you can near the centipede, and it'll waste all its shot trying to take it down, allowing your other pawns to shoot it without risk.

This thread is several months old and no longer relevant to the current danger levels.

Can you, please, move raw water to separate food group? Because atm it's possible to craft simple meal with only 11 buckets of water and zero actual food, which is plain ridiculous.

Indicator gate is completely useless, and whole project desperately need some kind of a memory cell: an RS-gate, with Set, Reset, Output and, optionally, with inverted output. Without it all this is more or less useless. A counter would be nice to have, too. And a toggle gate.

Also, would be nice to have BS-controlled power switches, akin to those in PowerSwitch mod.
And door control (look into DoorControl mod).
Also, would be good to have a gate that detects if there is any item lying on the floor "in front" of it.
And a gate that can suspend a workbench upon receiving a signal (if that's even possible).
