Does Epokalypse feel balanced?

Yup! Just the right amount of challenge!
It has a few kinks! Translation: Mostly balanced (Please comment the issue)
I can't survive the Epokalypse! Translation: Unbalanced (Please comment the issue)
I haven't tried the Epokalypse.

Razor rain did me in. Was hitting inside my base in sections that were under the "overhead mountain" area. I think Cassandra hated me this trip around as well. No darkness attacks, but pirates about 2 dozen times and nearly non-stop zombies and 3 razor rain events that wiped my base each time they hit.
v1.01, Cassandra @ 100%

RazorRain is a ton of metal debris falling from the sky.

RazorRain is a ton of metal debris falling from the sky.

it also likes to penetrate the mountains and land right on top of colonists killing them most of the time

Razor rain is almost too much, it goes on for so long that it hits almost everything on the map.

I'll do something about the Razor rain.

Pathing

At the beginning

Day 68 (5 months 8 days) they are still flourish.
that bix square is my kill-box I will redesign it later since there is no trader.

Always on hottest or coldest land with my old buddy 160% Cassandra.
1 colonists was killed but he was really half-dead from start since he got bad back, frail and other old age de-buff.

Not many blue events here while many red events are good.

a proof that my colony isn't dead yet
Steel is food. Steel is defense. Steel is weapon.
Steel is RimWorld.

I'll so something about the Razor rain.

while your at it can you make the steel dropped by the razor rain forbidden by default? ive lost a couple colonists to zombies because i missed forbidding a couple and they ran off to collect them without me noticing

I had the same crash landing problem that Novella mentioned. A few months into a colony I got a crash landing event, and it just spammed 100's of falling cryptosleep messages, until my game couldn't go anymore. No cryptosleep sections ever fell, but I'm not sure if that's because the game froze before they could, or if it's completely borked.

Also, I never got any mechanoids, but I did get this error a few times.

And finally, I have no fertilizer pumps. I'm not sure if that's how it's supposed to be, for all I know they were taken out in 9, but I don't have access to them at all. I had a nice geothermal vent right by my base, but there was one square of mud where the vent would go, so I never could build it.

Oh, and for those wondering what razor rain is, this is razor rain.

I was having a pretty good run, probably because I was on rough and not challenge, but I feel like loading an autosave back before the crash bug is kind of cheaty, so I'm just going to start over and make a new attempt at the score board.

This was all version 1.01.

What exactly is changed with the Epokalypse Experience that you added, Epyk?
Quote from: Topper on August 31, 2015, 03:33:25 AM
is the sledgehammer compatible with the romance mod?
Only in Rimworld.

Epyk

I'll fixed just about all problems mentioned above come next update.

A word about loading a save before death:
It is cheating. I however can't prove that someone has done this.

It changes plants growth rare, chances of appearing traders, chances of raids, events, etc.

All changes to fit a more challenging and apocalyptic setting.

skullywag

updated razor rain, reduced explosion size and drops are now forbidden on impact. :)

dont forget to drop the chance down if its too often, but with these reductions its not as killer.
