How long does it typically take for someone to decide to sign up for your ruins?

Which reminds me of another idea -- has anyone tried serial ship launches?  Instead of taking off with everyone in your colony, intentionally leaving one or two behind (probably two so they can survive squirrel attacks :) to recruit more travelers to Hale Bopp?

When it comes to new colonists joining, the way it works (or at least the way I've been lead to believe it works) is the less colonists you have, the more likely the storyteller AI is to throw some your way. This also might vary to certain degrees with different storytellers, but I'm fairly certain it's a factor for all of them.

Of course I save scum. But I use mods. So save scumming is kind of required to make sure a broken mod doesn't make things fubar.


also, there's too many animals that blow up to not save scum. Self taming exploders are horrible, especially when they show up with cataracts and bad backs.

Only when a falling roof kills a colonist, because falling roofs are just....
Otherwise, I just let things go as they are, and have a good laugh over it.

got little choice tbh, the game does crash from time to time when a couple of hundred raider pawns come in and do things etc. Save scumming is required.

playing on Phoebe basebuilder I got 2 centipedes and 2 scythers simultaneously. In that instance - YES!
I didn't even think it was possible till it happened

Hardcore mode is optional.
If you give an annoying colonist a parka before banishing him to the ice sheet you'll only get a -3 penalty instead of -5.

And don't forget that the pirates chasing a refugee are often better recruits than the refugee is.

You can save scum just fine in permadeath mode.

Yeah but you actually have to try, the game won't do it for you :)

No it doesn't.
Dev tools are supposed to be for debug situations where you've run into an error and need to reproduce it, Being unable to do so in Permadeath mode would be problematic.

That's one nice thing about Rimword... if you *want* to cheat, it's happy to let you.  We're all adults here, we can pick which level of difficulty we enjoy most and stick with it.

I savescum. Sometimes, the mechanics can be dumb and past a certain point I have 0 tolerance for it.

I will reload if a colony dies,  but no.

People who save scum over every dice roll in this are just silly.
Why to people worry about following their heart? Its lodged in your chest, you won't accidentally leave it behind.

Its bad because reasons, and if you don't know the reasons, you are horrible. You cannot ask what the reasons are or else you doubt it. But the reasons are irrefutable. Logic.
