[WIP] Rimworld Forever

skullywag · May 20, 2015, 12:15:56 PM

This will be an overhaul of sorts, with the main aim being to stay on the planet forever.

The "tech tree" will be completely redone from the ground up with the player having to go from nothing to everything in a logical way.

New items, buildings, weapons, apparel will be added along with everything being split into its relevant tech level, medievil for example will contain knight armour, crossbows etc.

Im open to any and all ideas but I have a base plan of what i want (a core if you will).

Crafting will be adapted where it feels logical (cotton plant -> cotton bolls -> cloth etc).

Something like (dead for now) EPOE Project.

skullywag · May 20, 2015, 12:29:57 PM

it might be (never heard of it or im not recognising the acronym).

This is also a test of my modding skills (which i always like doing) and ive wanted to play a mod that does this forever (ha pun) but no ones done it how i would like so...

skullywag · May 20, 2015, 12:31:23 PM

Im also debating putting the code on github and allowing the community to do pull requests to provide extras (if they fit the mod). This will be a bit further on though as I want a good base first.

Sorry, my mistake. That was Project EONS

You can ask them about files. I was in team for a short team so i have files but still, ask leader about this.

skullywag · May 20, 2015, 12:47:05 PM

ah i see, again this is based on how I would want it to work so for now itll be my code base from scratch. Ill happily take ideas though.

Ideas? I'm sorry for saying this, but.... Project EONS!

Seriously. For me starting from VERY start (hunting with bows etc) is a great idea. Maybe they are colonists from 5000 year but they don't have any technology at all.

skullywag · May 20, 2015, 02:15:00 PM

Already done. I have most if not all of neolithic done, im moving into medievil now (crossbows, shields, knight armour, swords, stoneblocks, simple metal working etc). Im not gonna look at other peoples code until i have the base mod sorted, i dont want to get off track with random stuff.

Seriously? like now? Wow. You're a great modder or you just added like 2 items?

Anyway this is why i think that Projects are just weak. You want do something? Do it by yourself! This is the fastest way!

right now its just moving all vanilla items into their relevant tech levels, see the change log in the OP for what ive done so far. Once I have all of vanilla sorted ill flesh out the tech levels more, I will however add a couple of things I have on my list of definites as I go (like the medieval shields ive done)

Adamiks · May 20, 2015, 02:56:45 PM

This looks very good! I just can't believe that you done this all in one day

I really would like to help you with something, but you know - work $:-\$

And what about raiders? Ya know. This'll be hard to defeat raiders with charge rifles using only sticks/medieval swords.

"And what about raiders? Ya know. This'll be hard to defeat raiders with charge rifles using only sticks/medieval swords."

If he will change item and colonist value raiders will have way less equipment. You will have 5 bow colonists vs one charge rifle raider, or even more.

Would love to help but im swaped with work, so if you find any texture you like in clutter just take it

I've got solution for that. It's called fortifications. You can make narrow shooting corridors or force raiders into close quarters melee where medieval sticks are more useful than rifles. The questions is how you fight the melee hordes of raiders.

Yep, but after you'll kill raiders and take their weapons melee-killbox will be useless (if you don't like melee weapons). Oh... I just realised that i'm stupid. I can take their weapons so there will be no problem with fight.
