RimWorld change log

[milon]

So am i right that everything from september 25 forward is Alpha 8 content and not included in Alpha 7?

Unless otherwise indicated in the changelog, yes that's right.

[Romi]

Welcome alpha 7!!!

[Shinzy]

Welcome alpha 7!!!

Wuhu!!
Thar will be pirates, yarr! with bionic eyes and organ trading of kidnapped pass byers!

[wolfman1911]

Every time I see what you've been working on, I become more interested. I'm looking forward to the next chance I get to play this.

[Rahjital]

Ho boy, here we go! Plasteel longswords for maximum melee carnage!

[Shinzy]

Ho boy, here we go! Plasteel longswords for maximum melee carnage!

Pfft, plasteel.. ! I'll make mine from gold for the maximum enchantment capacity

[milon]

Gold longswords?  Sounds unwieldy and ... soft.

Fun idea: Colony of psychically deaf Brawlers with Plasteel longswords!  (Actually, I think I'll try something similar via file editing on my next colony.  Because why not?)

[Rahjital]

Enchantability may have to wait until Tynan pairs up with Microsoft and releases a Minecraft DLC ($49.99! Exclusive deal!), but it would be fun if ornamental gold weapons gave a happiness boost. Armor too, there's nothing like a gold sword and a silver armour vest when trying to appease a noble!

[milon]

Gold armor would give a big hit to walking speed.  Unless we're talking gilded, rather than pure gold.

[ZestyLemons]

What happened to damage resistance (reducing damage by a flat %)?

It was listed under the September 26th patch notes as "Reworked armor system to do both damage resistance and deflection chance."

I checked all the armor in the game and couldn't find anything on damage resistance anymore. the damageAbsorbtion tag seems to be ignored or at least not displayed by the stat viewer anymore too.

"People now have thoughts and mood changes in response to prisoner organ harvests."

But, but, but... Awwww 

[StorymasterQ]

"People now have thoughts and mood changes in response to prisoner organ harvests."

But, but, but... Awwww 

Don't worry, it could be something like...
"We need a replacement kidney for our Cook."
"Get one from the prisoner, he doesn't need both. And hurry up, I 'd like to eat today."
"Yay!"

...probably not...

Maybe I'll just dig into the XML and change it to a positive.

"We captured two new prisoners in today's raid."
"Really?"
"Yeah, the boss is gonna be happy, two new hearts for his collection. And you know what that means? Lavish meals for everyone tonight!"
"Yaaaaaaaay!"

[RawCode]

Murder by removing vital organs is death sentence in most states.

Such actions of *player* should cause 2-3 times harder mood drop for all colonists.
Euthanasia of non terminally ill pawns also should cause mood drop not less then execution.

[milon]

Adding needed body parts (ie. replacing a missing kidney) should result in a positive mood boost for at least the patient, maybe the doctor too.

EDIT - Wind turbines!  Woo!
