Description

This mod adds a new decoration to the game that is a humanoid head on a spike. At the moment, it doesn't provide you with any real changes to game play and will only function to help make your base spooky.

It was created to test the waters of modding Rimworld and for my own personal use.

Discussion

- Do you think the object is too big? It's (2,2) but I felt (1,1) was too small and the texture really needs to be sized proportionally to look right.

- Any ideas/changes you'd suggest?

need one corpse to build?

Not yet, forgot to write that in the to-do list. That's another thing I want to set up in the costs. Atm you only need 10 wood.

@Evul - Thanks!

I would say give a mood penalty of -5 each or something like that if its possible to only do so for raiders (or even to only other factions).  That way you have the chance of breaking enemy assaults far easier.

I think you're using the word 'decoration' incorrectly :D

Cool, nevertheless.
I like how this game can result in quotes that would be quite unnerving when said in public, out of context. - Myself

The dubious quotes list is now public. See it here

That could be good. I have a feeling that outlander towns and pirates would be more frightened by this sort of thing than tribes might. It does pose a question if that when the corpses are required to make it, if the faction of the original corpse would effect. So like if I made 3 HS' from Tribe X's corpses, it would effect them a lot but if pirate band Y came around than it wouldn't effect them as much because it's still heads on pikes, but it's not their own brethren.

Unfortunately not. As far as I know we can't individually name objects like we can with colonists.

I kinda wanted to do the same thing with Graves, because I restrict graves for only my colonists. A workaround I've used so far is making stockpiles that don't accept anything and naming them above the grave.

Hi Ink. Good mod you made here  ;D thanks for sharing.

I have, however, some incompatibility reported on the game. Could you please have a look at this?



I have other mods installed, like CyberneticsStorm. I don't know if it messes with this one..

Ink.

It might be EdB Prepare Carefully or EdB Interface, because I have that error with both of them. But, do you have project armory installed? Because I do and if you don't that might help confirm/deny those suspicions.

Anyway, I've been busy with holidays and finals lately, so I haven't had much time to work on this. I hope to be able to once it quiets down. Wanna fix a few things and change some things up.
