Your starting colonists in RimWorld are at a technological level in the middle of this span. But you may end up interacting with people at much lower and higher levels, as well as acquiring and using their tools and weapons. In RimWorld, a single fight can involve a bow and arrow, a revolver, a charged-shot pulse rifle, and a near-magical teleportation device.

What is this? and howcome ive never seen it in my 100s of hours of gameplay, its not the trade beacon as things fly down in pods, (Im assuming a tractor beam of sorts that we cant see grabs all our crap when we sell) anyone have a clue to what tynan was mentioning?

I probably wrote it in 5 seconds as a general idea, some time in late 2013, and then forgot about it :)

Damn, teleporting brawlers would have been so beast!

I think perhaps it is the device that teleports your colonists backwards a miniscule distance once every nanosecond. Something has to explain why it takes my hunters so long to get to the muffalo grounds.

Sounds like something that could be another raiding tactic, along with sappers

Did i accidentally stumble upon a long lost prophecy foretold by tynan to our blight of killboxing

Anyone else thinking of the bug that randomly teleported pawns to the corner of the map?

You all talk about the teleportation device but missed the most important thing: revolvers!

PERFECT SOLUTION TO KILLBOXES! =)

Mmm, teleporter trap!  Sends them from near the front of the base to the edge of the map.  Wash, rinse, repeat, and they'll give up and leave or start killing each other.  ^_^
