Is Rimworld only going to get harder?

[Untrustedlife]

The game becomes quite difficult if (Like me) You dont want to use killboxes or waffling because they look weird. It would be nice not to have the constantly increasing number of raiders, so you could just settle down for a mostly peaceful life with 6-ish coloinsts

I believe there's a mode down at the end that's a "no-raider" mode for the builder types like myself that only like to challenge them self some times.

Also the raider increase gets tricky for several reasons indeed. I'm hoping some point in the future instead of increasing in number they do things like start counter-colonies. That way the tactics stay fresh.

Phoebe friendly is this level.

randy random is also down there.

I suggest that all of you who dislike raiders and just want to build use phoebe friendly.


I feel the need to interject something, and I am sure that many of the dwarf fortress players out there (as there are a bunch of them playing rimworld (they are in fact, the majority)) would agree with me.

I like challenge and cassandra classic/Randy Random are perfect for me, i don't get whats so frustrating about it..
Sure you will die a couple times, but after that you have no difficulty setting up the colony and end up moving to a higher difficulty as it just gets boring. Why get upset just because you can't beat it the first time?


I hope the game doesn't go extreme in either direction, too easy is just as bad or worse then being too hard and has ruined many promising games.

Tynan, I just sincerely hope, as a Player/Supporter/Fan/Friend/Someone who loves what direction you seemed to be bringing the game in.
That you keep this in mind. (I am sure you know this, but i feel the need to say it)


also for those who do not know.
I believe tynan has said that he is adding some back to the brink functionality .

Also, tynan, keep up the good work.

I like colonistPally's idea. I don't play Phoebe Friendly, because I like the challenge of dealing with raiders and building up a defense. I just don't want the raiders to become such a problem that I have to employ specific tricks to deal with them. The game eventually becomes a "how much punishment can you take" test rather than a colony sim.

I also tend to like slower games. I want to take my time. Having to learn to move fast to avoid the quickly-increasing raider threat can get frustrating. I know I'll get better and eventually want more of a challenge, but that's what the tougher storytellers are for. I'll try them when I'm ready.

[Untrustedlife]

Well then tynan should add a new storyteller,. just for this purpose.

Instead of making it easier on every storyteller.
Some people (alot actually) like the idea of increasing difficulty over time to "how much punishment can you take"
(though there is no difficulty at all or punishment once you have mines or a killbox or both because killing raiders becomes ridiculously easy at that point.).

You should always consider what other people think when you say things like this.Trumping on the fun of someone else just so that you have an easier time is selfish.And should not happen.

I'm actually hoping to make the storytellers moddable, so you guys can play with these ideas yourselves.

Dude, you really need to calm down. You come across as a bully. I'm not trying to change the game or ruin anyone's fun. I'm just giving feedback, and I don't have any doubt that Tynan will improve the game to everyone's satisfaction. But there's nothing wrong with asking questions and discussing our experiences. It's all good.

[Tynan]

I'll just preemptively lock this one; I think the question has been satisfied anyway.
