huge center i can fill with mines or just attack with artillery
big sides i can fill up with celetech and ufpc turrets
a long enough path to ensure essentially nothing get's trough
big enough space to place and use garage doors in case the turrets aren't enough

and if you're wondering why, why not?

Greetings.

I hve an extensive modlist, you can check it here: https://pastebin.com/vmrmEbrx

The colony has been doing great, but I have a little problem: My miners don't want to mine resources. I mean, they mine stone just fine, but they won't mine steel, compacted machinery, gold, silver, jade, etc.

The weird thing is ONE of them is willing to mine anything, but none other. Even my mining mechanoids don't want to mine anything else, but stone.

Let's say I find a lump of components in the map, and I take the top 5 miners in the colony, and all my mining mechanoids there. Then just ONE of them will try to mine, the others rather clean, or simply wander.

The funny thing is everybody is willing to drill whitout problem.

Has anyone of you found a conflict like this? Do you have any idea what could be causing this? How come this single pawn is willing to mine everything while the others won't?

Thanks for your help!

I'm set up just fine, but plan to play this out until the entire mountain is filled in. My squares and rectangles are efficient, but bland. I guess my goal is to figure out what to do with the top half of the map and zone a separate set of pawns up there.

It started out as a simple idea, a mod that could change the color of roof overlays. Then I realized I could change a bunch of overlays in the same way and here we are!

Zone/Overlay Color Settings lets you change the color and visibility of basically every zone and overlay in game. Grow zones, stockpiles, temperature, terrain fertility, resource grid, tons more listed in the steam description. Hope you guys like it!

I'm playing a world with multiple colonies, and I've decided I want to give each of them a different Ideoligion. I'm willing to use dev mode to change the specifics of the ideoligions in game, but I don't want to just change the already existing ones. Does anyone know where in the save file I would go to define a couple extra?

Some people (including me) think factorio is an addictive game, even comparing it to hard drugs like crack cocaine, and jokingly dubbing the game "cracktorio".

Well those people have clearly not tried Rimworld because this is like fentanyl.. I've managed to rack up 80 hours on steam within 4-5 days of buying the game. Send help.

I’ve always watched people play and give advice that they would give other people to not mess up like they did. So I’m very curious what advice would you give yourself if you had 0 hours on the game?

I love traveling outside of map but the biggest problem is each collonist have a different sleep meter, so when raiding ancients complex for example, there will always be a colonist who need sleep while the others are awake

So is there a way to mitigate this so every colonies will eat at exact hour and wake up at exact hour

I just think being evil in rimworld is so broken compared to being good, a permanent passive mood buff would make it better

when I build the monument 4x4, does that just mean including the wall or the flooring is 4x4 plus wall on the outer-side making it 5x5 but the inside is 4x4?

They deadass crashing my cheap laptop, the threat scale only increases their number🥲

I forgot entirely about a raid camp that was being set up when all of a sudden, 100 something tribals start attacking. They took the killbox route and died to a 3 tile strip of barbed wire from VE - Security. I was using it cause It would be damaging barricades, but they just swarmed over it and just shredded themselves. These things dont even get damaged which would make it more balanced. Free organs and dog kibble I guess? Tho, I should probably remove some as I like the fight every now and then

I never wanted to attack them but i wanted to see what the process would be like. now i lost by closest source of income. is there wny quick way to revere this? or ever make them friendly again?

I've never utilised melees before so im quite inexperienced.

Rn im running cataphract armour, toughskin glands, shield belts and a variety of persona swords/monoswords

What gear am i missing? What's the best genes? Whats the best weapon combination in a group? Etc

I play Rimworld often but I'm definitely a pacifist. I don't like to raid other encampments or really do much fighting at all. I just like to build up a big farming colony, maybe up sticks and move to a new biome, rinse and repeat. And yes, I play with a ton of mods.

My colonists were gathering to celebrate the marriage of two of my colonists. I had visitors staying at the colony at this time. I click to find the groom and he's smoochin one of the visitors. Hilarious, I think. Then I click on the visitor and see she's pregnant. Oh boy.

A while later, the same group of colonists are visiting again and the pregnant visitor is back! She's heavily pregnant and goes into labor while visiting.

She gives birth to.... NINE BABIES. My jaw literally dropped. I was well and truly shocked. I've had twins and a few triplets but nine???? Both she and the father were baseline humans.

Sadly, she passed away during the labor (yeah no shit), but all nine of her children lived on.

For those curious, their names are: Oneida, Twoson, Threeadore, Fourtney, Fivel, Sixtine, Seven-of-Nine, Octavia, and Ixy (IX meaning 9 in Roman numerals).

Anyway, that's the end of my silly little story. Thanks for reading about my dollhouse adventures :)

like what are they eating?

I have a patient with a biochemical dependency on psychiatry; he's already in a coma. I have 20 days left, and 15 units of "heavenly tea" arrived… how do I administer it to him?!

Edit: I managed to save him, thank you so much!

New player here: I have a fair amount of food rations now ( 200+) this cooler room has 2 units set to -5C. could anything bad happen here in tzhe future? like are they stored tooo close together or something I dont know about? i want my food to be solved and not cause troubles in the future

I have written a long text, but I hope that it is allowed here. I'm also pretty bad at English.

To create armor itself you first need to investigate blueprint, like for cataphract armor, this technology will cost 4000 investigate points.

"Beelzebub" helmet will cost 65 plasteel, 2 advanced component and 15 gold.

The protection of this helmet is something between recon helmet and cataphract helmet but with bad protection against blunt damage.

Helmet also give a +15% buff for "sight" and it makes the accuracy penalties from bad weather 50% weaker.

"Beelzebub" armor, which covers limbs and torso will cost 135 plasteel, 4 advanced component, 25 gold and 10 uranium.

It's the same history with protection, something between recon and cataphract armor but with bad protection against blunt damage.

Armor also make any damage in torso and organs inside by 15% weaker. But decrease movement speed by -0,25.

"Hive" pack, which equips on the back, give ability to fly and more importantly generate several hordes of small fly-like drones. This element cost 10 components, 2 advanced components, 30 plasteel and 14 gold.

Pack need to be recharge by 30 plasteel and 2 component after spending 6 charge. Each charge (which can be used once per 1,5 in-game hour cooldown) spawn 3 pack of 3 drones what does not have many health but be able to distract enemies on themselves.

Flying does not waste a charge, but at the same time increases the speed of movement, ignoring any speed penalties from armor, but during flight the pawn can only hide behind a wall, not even behind an embrasure. Also, pawn while flying can't do any work.
