Don't want to die?
Lower difficulty.

Want to survive but not lower difficulty?
Accept that the colony will eventually fall and build stasis pods and a ship.

Can someone explain to me why people complain about combat if they have it active? Base builder is there if you want it but don't complain the combat gets people killed and bases destroyed...

What drove you to buy the game in the first place if you don't like half of the identity?
I don't mean offence to anyone I would just like to understand.
It's kind of like FTL being famous for being a really hard rogue-like. The challenge of it getting sales,
Then complaining the game is too random and difficult. :/

Different people play games for different reasons. Not everyone wants to face a hardcore challenge every single game they play (where others lives for it of course :)

I played FTL and completed it myself several times, even have mods to make it more difficult and still enjoyed the challenge. On the other hand when I play Mass Effect or even Skyrim I play on easy since I'm hardly interested in getting killed every second turn. I play it for the story, the visual environment rather than the challenge.

But you are right of course, even if your post came across as little offensive. Rimworld is not for the faint of heart I suppose. I think people have too many expectations of what they want it to be, and cant accept that Rimworld is based in a very harsh reality, telling a story of a few colonists struggle for survival against all possible odds. And eventually having no choice but to pack up and leave.

If you can't accept that, then yes, maybe this game isn't for you.

I personally like the challenge of the game when you get a seige. It's not the seige that usually wipes me out, it is the injuries and sickness that follows. I survived this one with only 1 loss. Next time i may not be so lucky. The goal to me is to see just HOW long you survive before the game kills you. But then, that IS the object of this game isn't it?
It matters not if we win or fail. It's that we stood and faced it.

I have no problem with the difficulty, it's just that the game isn't fleshed out in some avenues (like lacking the ability for colonists to heal themselves, of course with difficulty if they're not a doctor or something; it would allow for suicidal iron man runs of the games and prevent colonies from dying after your only colonist gets scratched by a squirrel lol), which is also not a problem since the game is really fucking good and sophisticated as it is. If Tynan stopped developing right at this moment, I'd still have a fun, challenging game to toy with.

I'm not really saying that to suck Tynan off, like I said, he has yet to expound a multitude of features upon the game so maybe next year it'll be a first person colony shooter or some weird shit, but like I figure he won't fuck Rimworld up I also haven't seen many people (except kiddies in the suggestion subforums sometimes) complain about the combat system without admitting they play on builder mode to avoid these altercations.

Whatever am I even on about, I come to this thread to read the changelog so I should probably just drop it, whatever it is.

now WHY would someone WANT to ADD heat to  a computer, unless they  live in a part of the world where it is freezing all the time????

Some time ago I still had a working computer running on Windows 3.11. I played Flight Simulator 4 on it, a 'recent' Prince of Persia, and a 3D Formula GP on floppydisk, as well as a stunt care game The ultimate Ancestor of Trackmania with circuit-editor.

Adjusted a bunch of sound volumes, added medicine used sound, reorganized sound files.

I sure hope weather sounds have their own volume, thunderstorms and wind are just too loud.
