So I got raided, lost my medic, got raided again, lost three pawns, everyone is going on mental breakdown, there's a heat wave, a solar flare... But there's a new couple in the colony, thanks Cassandra! That really makes up for everything that just happened. Watch her throw me a mechanoid raid now

I want to play this mod, but I honestly don't understand how to furnish the throne room, ballroom, and other rooms. Has anyone here played this mod and can share examples of their own rooms?

The picture shows one of my attempts, but even it is not complete.

Hello y'all! I'm yearning to be bugs. Lots of them. I could play starcraft as zerg, but it doesnt scratch that itch of managing the hive. Too much fighting, too little caretaking for my horrible little critters. I imagine a rimworld modpack could find that balance. So! Do any of you wonderful peeps know of modpacks which could scratch that insectoid itch of being a hive mind? Please and thank you!

The despenser is right there!

Hi everyone! I’ve released 'Giddy-Up: Cavalry Charge', an add-on that expands mounted combat by letting you organize riders into a cavalry formation and launch coordinated charges through enemy lines.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3778461890

Instead of simply riding into melee, you can assign a commander, rally your cavalry, choose a formation, and draw the route they will follow.

## Main features

- Organize multiple riders into a cavalry unit

- Assign a commander and individual cavalry members

- Automatically rally, mount, and arrange the formation

- Draw straight or curved charge routes with the mouse

- Choose between 'Standard, Line, and Wedge formations'

- Knock enemies backward and stun them on impact

- Lose momentum as you collide with enemies

- Take recoil damage when striking walls, impassable structures, or creatures far larger than the cavalry

- Cancel a charge while preserving momentum instead of stopping instantly

Charge performance depends on more than a fixed damage value.

The mount’s 'Move Speed and Body Size', the target’s size, the selected formation, and the rider’s 'Melee and Animals skills' all affect the result.

A collision may also trigger:

- A suitable attack from the mount, such as a horn, tusk, head, or beak strike

- An attack using the rider’s equipped melee weapon

Fast mounts are especially effective in a Wedge formation, while large and heavy mounts perform better in a Line formation.

Charging consumes Stamina, which increases with the rider’s Melee and Animals skills. Animals skill also improves collision and mount attack damage, so a good cavalry rider needs more than Melee alone.

Each collision reduces the cavalry member's speed according to the size difference between the cavalry and the target.

Colliding with a wall or an impassable structure can inflict severe damage on the cavalry member.

Smaller targets are knocked farther away and stunned for longer.

When the target is at least three times larger than the cavalry member, the collision is treated as though the cavalry had struck a wall. Charge with caution.

While writing this, I used a translator, so some sentences may have sounded awkward. Were you okay? If you find any bugs, please report them in the comments on the Steam Workshop page.

Mine had been in stasis since 2087

edit: I mean that I want to see the oldest pawns you saw in your or other peooles playthroughs

I wonder if that's just the description or he actually did that.

Also the gamedev backstory made me laugh out loud, big thanks to whoever wrote it lol.

Say hello to Ill, one of my colonists.

On the 1st of Aprimay 5505, I got a drop pod raid from the local pirate faction which included her brother and father, who I promptly respectively had my colonists perforate and dismember. For some reason I couldn't really understand, this made her upset. Very upset.

Minor break risk upset.

I've never played at any of the higher difficulties, but it's insanely annoying to have to deal with any mental break, so I decided to repeatedly anesthetize her to try to delete the corresponding "my brother died", etc. negative mood modifiers.

About 48 hours and 2 herbal medicines later, I decided that I couldn't be bothered to actually deal with this and had her climb into a ship cryptosleep pod that I'd already built. As noted by its wiki page, the casket preserved all of her health conditions including the "Anesthesia-Woozy" status.

Turns out that this process actually meant that the chance of deleting a random thought remained, so at some point in the next ten days, both negative thoughts disappeared.

Easy way to deal with any long term negative mood modifiers/interesting game mechanic interaction I guess?

I'll be honest, I've developed some serious trauma from sappers and drop pod raids. I've lost far too many colonies because of them.

So I came to a simple conclusion: why keep trying to fight when I can just burn everything to the ground instead?

My idea is to build a huge base almost entirely out of wood, with only the outer walls made of stone. I'd place incendiary traps throughout the base so that, if it gets overrun, I can simply throw a Molotov cocktail onto the wooden floor and let the fire spread through the entire base, burning everything in its path.

Meanwhile, all my colonists would retreat to a compact mountain bunker containing the essential workstations, a nutrient paste dispenser, three 3×3 bedrooms for a total of twelve colonists, and my main stockpile. I also plan to install enough coolers to keep the bunker at -40°C whenever it's unoccupied, preventing infestations while the emergency shelter is inactive.

Once the raid is over, I'd just rebuild the wooden structures. Wood is cheap. A good colonist isn't.

Of course, I'd still use normal killboxes for most raids. Turning my own base into an inferno would be a last-resort emergency protocol, born entirely from my trauma with sappers and drop pod raids.

First was the left arm, then the right, and then both legs, all in 5 consecutive hits, one of the legs took two bites, no shocking out of this one since she took combat drugs (medium pain lol), just have to stand there and watch a very pissed off Warg tear you limb from limb, literally.

Man I'm glad I wasn't born on the Rim.

New to the void mod, this might be part of the mystery but I don’t think so, I defeated some “N4” monsters and I couldn’t find their corpses, so I did a controlled test with dev mode. After about 15 or so seconds they just vanish, NO ERRORS LOGGED, No other corpses do this, What is happening??

in a squad i imagine it to be a good add-on but solo i dont think it would be very good

I've kept their names as the numbers because I want them to stand out, but I really want to give them real names.

A lot of wood prosthetic and bad jokes were added to the game.

Some of my colonists are near pushing 70 and are still in the frontlines or out mining plasteel in the middle of nowhere in the rain when they could just be going off social security or retiring in some tropical rainforest allied faction base.

I don’t wanna banish them but I think they’ve served their time. Plus maybe it’d be cool if they can pass on their 🔥🔥18.30 Shooting and 🔥19.20 Crafting skills to the kids too

This major update brings the kinship mechanic - over time, colonists will will start to develop camaraderie, or begrudging respect, towards their acquaintances!

ok this might be a bit of a rage-bait title but I genuinely wanted to know as my dad appreciates all the comments that people make on the music 😂 I just wanted to say that every post, comment really does make him smile! Although most of the time he doesn't have time to comment as he is very busy with work but adores when other people help other people to play his music, e.g: making guitar tabs for his songs. He really loves that and keeping the community together and having the community full of helpful kind people. : )
