Hey I have 7 mods active : edb prepare carefully, hugslib, more vanilla factions, sniper turret, defensive positions, nanotrasens army and more vanilla turrets. until now they have been working fine together, but I opened the game today and when I checked my mods, all im getting is "downloading" over each of them, doesnt seem to want to do anything =/, thoughts?

Restart your game, if that fails restart steam. If both fails validate the cache through the steam options.

Thanks for answering Tater

Also, if that fails, deactivate each mod in turn. If the game runs, then whichever one you have deactivated is causing the problem

You'll end up with the same problem as the forum in general. Questions will get lost in the replies to this thread. If you really want to support a FAQ I recommend creating one on the wiki and linking to it here, then help keep that updated.

I wasn't going for a FAQ. I want to create a thread where people can ask whatever they want, and give each other tips. Doing this in separate threads not only takes longer to ask and reply, but also, the questions often get lost in page 2 ^^, which means they are likely never answered.

Here, I get notifications and so do others when questions appear, which makes answering more efficient

OK, here's one.

Without mods, and without SETTLING or getting ambushed, is there any way to address pawn's joy needs on long caravan trips?

Yes, i have the "camping" mod that lets me set up a mini map and could do joy, but i'd like it taken care of automatically like sleep and hunger if possible.

I don't think so, unfortunately. Hopefully this will be addressed in future updates, but for now long caravans are only really feasible with pawns that have good mood traits like sanguine or steadfast.

Here's a question:

I'm completely new to animals. How do i restrict them to only using one zone? I like having them roam free hen they can, but i just found out the hard way that raiders will kill your animals without remorse.

Under the animals tab, you can set any tamed animals, no matter their intelligence or training level to certain areas...Built in at start is "unrestricted," home, and animal area 1.

I suggest an "indoors" for toxic fallout, a "barn" for pack animals or money animals if grazing isn't feasible - storing food there to feed them.  This can double as a safe haven in the event of an attack.

Lastly, i suggest 2 more zones.  1 that cuts out your meal storage area and growing fields - for non hauling animals.  The other that cuts out dining rooms, butcher stations and other crafting stations where progress isn't saved (stonecutting, brewing, etc) - for nuzzling animals like cats and yorkies

don't forget to assign your animals back after a raid to prevent starvation.

Q: Why are centipedes called centipedes when they look more like caterpillars?

sounds scarier?  mildly?

I think If you bring beer and chocolate, they will consume it and get joy

Thank you for answering my question, Limdood.

I have another question for anyone who knows:

A colonist of mine just got gutworms. they've only had it for a few days, but despite treatment, i see no indication of it getting any better. There's no minor x% or immunity x%, and no "remove gutworm" operation. I can't find it on the wiki either. How do i get rid of it? Do i have to give this person a new stomach? Will they have it forever?

[Serenity]

Gutworms and mechanites are long term diseases that go away after some time. You just have to live with it until then.
