RimWorld change log

[Tynan]

just like power switches, and turning the power on and off, you can designate it to be done, but a colonists does the actual work.  No reaching down with your god hand and opening and closing doors.

Yeah it was just too easy to break up raids into tiny pieces using simple, cheap arrays of doors.

Carrying on from a previous suggestion a couple of posts back. It would be cool if we could research a computer terminal, that would allow us remote control of anything on the 'grid' if a person is operating it. Or you could make it so two poeple have to operate it.

A power control and regulation computer would be really cool. You would need to install power 'control nodes' that would respond to the computer and when you make adjustments to the power flow, like the switches, a colonest must go to the computer and spend time making the changes. This would be REALLY wonderful if added to research and addition wireless power distribution was added to  this as well. Using the computer to then designate how much power each 'wireless transmitted' would transmit as well as how much the receiving one would receive or linking recivers to transmiters, ect... .

edit: I think we are turning the 'change log' into a 'suggestions log' and may be better to move this idea into the 'suggestion' forums so Tynan only has 1 place to look for them!

[Tynan]

Yeah, falcongrey is right, ideas really should go in Suggestions please. Perhaps in the "cheap ideas" thread.

Automatic doors no longer autonomous. K.
Colonies can now become Pompeii. Whaddaya mean you didn't see that volcano bellowing immense pyroclastic flows as you casually choose where you smash into the ground on the way down from orbit? K.
Oh, btw, we are also enriching the mountain base experience to make for more authentic Vaults. Random generic nuclear fallout! Fun for all the family. Think of all the extra work you'll do with that third arm! Health implications? What? Nah, you'll be fine! K.

I haven't looked at the changelog since news of sappers but much of this is just "lolk, I didn't want happy, healthy colonists anyway." I wanted them dead, preferably horribly mutilated first. They're just so much more agreeable like that. They don't lose their minds over seeing a dead guy who wanted a pound of flesh a few moments ago. They just sit and relax, take in the night sky.

EDIT:
So how long till those plasteel/concrete laminate walls with rebar sunk 40ft into the earth to discourage tunnelers and bombers? We don't get those around here? Huh...

It just means you need to be smarter about your defences.

I don't want to be smarter about my defences because the combat system really annoys me.
I already play on Phoebe Base-builder because of that, and that's more than enough combat for me.

Not only does the A11 video show autodoors that still open themselves... but you actually use this tactic in the video.

[Tynan]

Yeah I thought I put up an annotation on the video to correct that. I had to go apply it though, should be up now.

This rather caught my curiosity. What about the combat system annoys you?

[Wild Card]

My first alpha release. Boy this is exciting!
Congrats on the release can`t wait to play it

[skyarkhangel]

Hy, Tynan. Why Wargs textures like Rimwolf?
Let's make this real black angry Wargs!

[Tynan]

I should separate wolves and wargs, really.

[skyarkhangel]

updated the textures. Fix size and add contour. You can take them 
They are a little bigger in size than wolves and have more fearful muzzle.

Sometimes we want to just city build, are slow builders and are min-maxers.
When a war/attack happens, we can handle it, but organising all that loot, drop, dead bodies makes us go very annoyed... and we obviously can't let it go to waste.. but if we do, our regular base building goes for a toss...

So yea.. Phobe base building regular for 1 year, then change difficulties to have a few attacks and then back to base building, lol.

(ps - I know that's not the concept of a raid, getting raided when you want, but meh.. the regular raids seem to happen too often when I want to base build and too infrequently when I want to fight).

[StorymasterQ]

Wargs are just frustrated Wolves. Like, "WAAARG."
