"uncommon" really means in this case that it doesn't happen at all.  I recall reading that animals COULD nuzzle, but that the code was glitched in such a way that they did not nuzzle because some check in their code looked for colonists doing something (or not doing something) that was never, or almost never true.

There were a couple instances found of an animal rarely doing a cuddle, but it was more a case of the rimworld stars aligning than a simple instance of it being "uncommon"

One of those instances where RNG can be a real bitch. I've had it happen a handful of times, some people haven't. I guess you're just one of those others.

I personally think nuzzling should be a common event. At least for animals who's wildness is very low.

I once had around 7 huskies and not a single colonist was nuzzled for the entire time(so, a year or two[or three])

Jeez, that seems bad. RNG was not favouring you at all.

On the topic of carcinoma and carinoma, I noticed this looking at the features post for the first time, but it looks fixed to me, so this must have been edited.

If you have such a strong opinion about this, do you even have fun playing the game at all? There's cannibalism, dismemberment, horrible forms of dying, etc....

are you kids serious? just because i don't want cancer in rimworld i would not enjoy the game?
of course i can enjoy the game, what a foolish question...but i expect comments that.
i think you don't get the point.
the big difference is, you can prevent cannibalism and cure the other diseases, but you are totaly helpless same as in real life against cancer.
i lost a lot of friends because of cancer, it would be painful and not fun if the game has cancer...did you lost someone about cannibalism or malaria? i don't think so...
cancer is not really curable, specially if it is in the brain or other specific parts.
how would it increase the fun with the game if your pawn get braincancer and die?

I don't know how you can enjoy the game when disease is already something that can happen in-game. This isn't really any worse than any of the other things that can happen to your characters.

This sort of thing is clearly something Tynan wants in the game.

Oh boy, the difference between these diseases which are already in Rimworld and cancer is that you can't really heal cancer...and i don't think Tynan will put chemotherapy into the game or will he?

Relax, it's a game, cancer exists, it sucks, just face the reality of it, it's a game we're playing. Nobodies forcing you to play either.

Exactly it is a game!
Aids, peeing, pooping, menstruation, cancer in all forms, cardiac infarction and many more are also reality. also woman and men scream because of the pain (cutting, disease) but would you like that ingame? Yes? Hearing them screaming because of the pain? I don't want it and i think all the other rimworld player too, because that would be disgusting and annoying.


A game is for entertainment, i don't know you guys, but if you think it is entertainment to get cancer, then i hope you will get it, ingame of course. But I do not want it and it is my opinion! Get that in your heads! I will enjoy the game, but without cancer...

First off, I'm sorry that you lost someone close to cancer. There's no debate that cancer sucks, it must be horrible if someone close to you gets a diagnosis like this. I don't pretend to know about it, I never had that happen to me.

But what you are saying is that the game should not contain a negative thing because "it is for entertainment". Isn't that like saying a movie or a book should never be about cancer because movies and books are for entertainment? A medium does in my opinion not dictate the content.

Yes, lots of horrible things are not in Rimworld, or things that some may find disgusting, like the things you mentioned. However, consider that currently permanent brain damage can occur if a colonist gets shot in the head. Colonists can die a horrible death at the hand of raiders, and these events are not always preventable. The game tries to mirror reality in a few chosen aspects, and not only the positive things.

Are you familiar with the show "Breaking Bad"? A teacher and family man is diagnosed with cancer. The show is considered solid entertainment by many. It is dramatic, not at least because it doesn't omit: It shows how horrible the disease is, it tries to depict reality as it is without lying, the struggle of the man and those around him. Should a disease so horrible simply be never talked about again, considered a taboo simply to remind nobody about what is true and real? What could happen to anybody of us? It isn't going away because of that.

That said, I'm sure if the option doesn't exist, someone will create a mod for 100% effective treatment of cancer. We are talking about a story in the year 5500 after all, certainly this is possible.

Cancer can be cured,  and has,  but western medicine is fucked up.  If you address off balance ph issues,  cancer can go away on its own, without surgery. Sadly western medicine denies this..

Because of this,  i often chuckle that herbal medicine is worse than standard medicine... Ah well.

But, i hope cancer,  if indeed a thing now,  can be cured with a good diet / rest,  because people can do that in reality, avoiding processed foods,  drinks, smokes,  pollutants, ect.

.... I really cant believe I just read that... Do you have sources for this claim or are you just spouting unadulterated BS?

Well that said, cancer can be cured, also the most dangerous diseases can be cured in one way or the other. In women too, the problem of menstruation pain can be cured by simply using menstrual cups, as suggested by this website, and which can be sustainable too. Similarly, peeing, popping, AIDS can also diagnosed in some way.
