toxic fallout is as bad as the old tornado

[patoka]

i also like it. sometimes. i remember once i got it like three times in a year. that wasnt just hard to survive, that was really lame as in boring. but i guess it always is if you get the same crap over and over again.

what people didnt mention yet i think is how you can easily heal your toxic buildup just like hypothermia and others. as soon as your pawns are roofed, their toxic buildup will sink again. but still, dont let it get over a certain level (30% i think) because above that level your pawns may develop cancer and something else aswell

sorry, didnt play normal games in a while, i am on sea ice and there different rules exist

once a colonist of mine developed dementia because of the prolonged time he went outside, i used him to haul all downed animals for domestication or slaughter them, so he left the roofs various times and was aways between 15% and 40% of toxic buildup.

Yea you can get Carcinoma as well... I think some of my guys got it in a arm in some tests during Dev Mode...

They do work slowly and has effected their quality of their work and combat effectiveness when they get the Toxic Buildup and also get the Mood Debuff from the Sick Moodlet... I always keep them low in 18% & 22% Percentage...

Also why is this post still going for some odd reason?

Oh crap, reading this thread gave me dementia and my left foot just fell off.

I find that toxic fallout is one of those events that was fun the first few times. Now I just unashamedly disable it in game conditions because I like to build spread out bases and not have to roof everything off!

I miss the "old" Toxic fallout that allowed players to collect dead animals before they rot beyond use.

[Canute]

Like you will miss fish without plastic at their stomach/meat ?
Or mushroom without radioactiv isotops from fallout areas ? :-)

Ok, yes that the animal get a chance to instantly rot when they got a toxic buildup is annoying, but made it more dangerous to unprepared colonies.

it's a lategame event,by that you should already have atleast a gasmask from a raider or hydroponics.
Also getting one early game having Randy is fair,it's Random.

I got one in year 1 and one in year 2 on Cassandra Medium.

Didn't have much trouble. The first one I bailed on the tile (It was garbage anyway) and the second I nosed to the grindstone and just got all the work done that was needed to survive.

It really sucks when you get it in the first year, i won't be a problem for one or two but still...

You can counter this with an large farm and freezer, sure your freezer might not as be two walls wide and made of wood, but large farms and extensive hunting and pemmican making helps a lot or that prisoner only nutrient paste dispenser might come in handy...

[Shurp]

Why did I read that as "throw your prisoners into your nutrient paste dispenser"?

I've been playing Rimworld way too long

Toxic fallout is one of the funner events for me, is changes the aesthetic and gives an oppressive atmosphere. It forces you to manage how much time you spend outside. Other than that It's pretty easy to deal with....

Tornado -> Magic eraser - just get out of it's way... no really any fun to play against.

to me, the toxic buildup is what the volcanos would do on real life when on eruption, tons of ash falling from the sky, killing the plants bit by bit, causing suffocation on animals and people alike if they have weak lungs, ruining potable water, its a disaster, who doesnt suffocate or get poisoned dies starved

Once you got hydroponics going, it's really just a nuisance. Stay indoors or under the roof, and it's all good. Tornado, on other hand, sucks, it really wreaks havoc on everything that's not under the mountain.
