[A17] Same events happening three times in a row

[Robb]

Not sure if this is a bug, WAD or just my imagination but since updating to A17 events seem to happen in groups of three (occassionally 2).

Started a new colony and just now into third season of year 1. Playing on Cassandra Extreme though I'm pretty sure this has happened with other storytellers/difficulty. I just didn't pay it any mind at first but did while starting latest colony.


So far I had 3 Mad Animals attack within 2 hours, then had 3 Wanderers join within a day or two, and just now had malaria, plague and gutworms hit my colony all within a couple days. When these happen, there is no other event in between. So no 2 animal attacks, then a solar flare then 3rd animal attack...they are all in a row. Only 'singular' event I can think of was an eclipse.

With the mad animals, I had a Mad Turkey attack. As soon as I shot that, I got a manhunting pack of rabbits. I was barely able to treat the one colonist hurt from the rabbits when I had a turkey manhunter pack come at me.

Pretty sure the same thing happened with equipment breakdowns but wasn't paying enough attention. But I do know I had 2 within a couple hours of each other. Overall I'm not complaining...just seems weird...of course it could be a real odd case of RNG too but it feels like this has happened over several games.

Again this can just be my imagination and will chock it up to the meds I'm taking. But I hope someone else can either corroborate this or tell me to put the meds down and slowly step away

I would like just to higlight the fact that there are actually not a lot of different events in the actual version of Rimworld, and some of them are not stackable.

So in Extreme, with a lot of events triggered, it looks logic you get several times the same event.
Especially with Cassandra, because she uses only events adapted to your base power, restricting her choices.

Just in case, your current game is it a game generated in A17a then updated to A17b ?
If this strange chain of events is really a bug, it could be the cause.

Nope...new game in 17b....

Of course right after i wrote that...these events happened

Alpacas joined
Pirate traders
Raid
Escape pod

So.....so much for my theory....I was hesitant to even post as I just knew as soon as I did, the weirdness would stop....and it did (so far)

A strange experience. Thank you to have updated your post.
You are lucky to have seen that. That was maybe the good day to play lotto.

Enjoy your game !

I think it's just rng. There aren't too many incidents in A17. A18 has some new incidents. Thanks for reporting though.
