Have you seen this bug? Toxic fallout lasting too long

Tynan · July 26, 2015, 02:05:32 PM

Help me out here, I'm trying to trace a bug: Toxic fallout, cold snap can last for longer than their max duration

Has anyone observed this? Toxic fallout lasting more than 21 days (in an unmodded game)? Or is there a mod that increases the duration? I'm able to trace the issue.

If anyone has a save game with a long-lasting toxic fallout, can you post it?

I just had a toxic fallout in one of my games. It felt long, as I had locked my pawns indoor, but probably fit well with the 21 days. Next time it happens I will take time, but so far I haven't seen some that I suspect of being too long. Cheers for the game Tynan!

I have had a volcanic winter last over a game year, but am using many mods, so might not be relevant

MarvinKosh's Hot and Cold Pack modified Cold Snap, Heat Wave and Volcanic Winter but it does not change Toxic Fallout, FYI.

I only play modded, but I have seen Toxic events over 4 months, Which I thought was in the description.

RemingtonRyder · July 28, 2015, 03:43:29 PM

It says 'over a month' and at maximum it can last just over two months (1 month = 10 days). Volcanic Winter is the one which can go on for many months by default.

Tynan, it would help if I could hover over an event and see when it started. But it only says the description, and with Evil Ship not even that.

I have both toxic fallout and volcanic winter in my current game. I don't know when the winter started, but it's nearly a year now. The volcanic winter started a little before the winter last year, now it's summer.

Also, I thought a month lasted 10 days in Rimworld ? Not 21 ?

Yeah they do last 10 days, aka a rimworld month, which seems to be the default fallout time about and then 21 days, 2 months and a day seem to be the maximum.

Surprised that this does not appear in Overview/History view.

Yup, that's a good place for that kind of information. To be fair, toxic fallout and volcanic winter have just be added. But all major events, and even those like solar flare or eclipse, belong there.

Tynan, if you improve history/overview screens you will be getting more accurate feedback.

Is volcanic winter supposed to last 135 days?

Code (Save File) Select


			<activeConditions>
				<li Class="MapCondition_VolcanicWinter">
					<def>VolcanicWinter</def>
					<startTick>3820244</startTick>
					<ticksLeft>236775</ticksLeft>
				</li>
			</activeConditions>

Itchy redirected me here. My game is heavily modded though so I can't exactly report the bug (if it is indeed a bug, as this topic is about toxic fallout), though I do know that none of the mods affect this condition directly. I have the game on the hardest default difficult and I chose to land in a desert.

I'm also still on 0.11.857
Seed: Dragons
Coordinates: 76,81
(Just in case it helps any)

If this is normal for volcanic winter, disregard/delete post.

Tynan · July 30, 2015, 11:42:20 AM

Volcanic winter is supposed to max out at 80 days.

Vas can you post or send me your whole savegame? I'd like to play with it, would be very helpful!

Tynan · August 14, 2015, 11:46:35 PM

Still looking for help on this!

xlockeed · August 15, 2015, 01:44:19 AM

Just one mod active
Edb prepare carefully - mod

Volcanic winter is going on a year and the temperatures is now at -72. It's on a ice sheet but now it is a death trap for visitors and raiders which is fine by me. Is there a command I can put in to turn it off / reset?

Edit - Possible events stack? You don't get message but it prolongs the event?
Edit X 2 - I went and changed story teller and put on easiest setting. Saved, loaded save and the event ended.
