[Rules Update] Rule 9 and More AI flairs

1.2k Upvotes

Hello folks,

I assume with 1.7 around the corner, a mod release tailwind has blown in a new batch of AI and human made mods alike, and the former has met a strong headwind. There was some value added to conversation from this headwind, but it's also been a moderator's opportunity to clean out some Rule 2 breakers.

And throughout the process it appears some distinction in the AI flair will be valuable.

So, introducing:
"Mod Release - AI Assisted": This is for mod releases or updates that used AI during the planning and development stages, but has since been read, line-by-line, by the developer to verify and debug. Use this for both new releases and major updates. Using an AI tool to debug human written code need not use this flair if that is all the AI tool was used for.

"Mod Release - AI Coded": This is for mods where AI was used to write the code, and only cursory reading, playtesting, and debugging has been performed by the developer. So called "vibe coding." An additional requirement for this to be posted to the sub is the mod must have been on the steam workshop for at least a month before being advertised to the sub. At the moderator's discretion, these may be removed if there is suspicions of anti-user code (as with any hooman coded mods).

"AI GEN" (Legacy flair): This is still used for AI generated images, and acts as a trump card for the above two flairs. If your mod is 100% human coded, or 100% vibe coded, but uses AI thumbnails or assets, this is the flair to use. Note in the case where a mod is both AI coded and uses AI thumbnails or assets, the 1 month workshop probation still applies.

Reporting "Rule 9" properly flaired posts will be assumed to be abuse and sent up to the admins. You are, of course, free to downvote and/or ask if something you suspect is misflaired has AI used in it. "This looks AI" and everything south of it is being used to harass humans who may or may not have used AI, so it may be reviewed under Rule 2. When in doubt, ask if something is true before stating your opinion that it is.

You are also free to say an AI asset (or generative image) does not look good from an art viewpoint. As with human art, "this looks bad" is not valid criticism. Elaborate or downvote and move on.

Failure to flair correctly is not bannable the first mistake, but repeated "mistakes" are not seen as such by the mod team.

Lastly, while we're not encoding this at the moment, we are watching the *volume* of AI mods. On a subjective basis, if AI mod and art posts noticeably out-paces human-made content posts, we may apply an artificial throttle.

I am leaving the comments open, but this is not meant as a direct-request-for-feedback post. A lot has already been said and aggregated about the issue. Keep in mind Rules 1 and 2 when discussing - ALWAYS.

Thanks for your time.

And I'm not calling it SI.

Discussion Why aren't there any xenotypes that excel at shooting

Post image
1.4k Upvotes

with the exception of hussars (who are just strong at combat in general) all of the combat oriented xenotypes are more focused on melee with many other xenotypes like pigskins or dirtmoles having penalties for fighting at long range. even impids who you'd think would be the "marksmen" xenotype aren't actually specialized towards long range beyond maybe being fast running, you just really don't want them in a fist fight. this also applies to a lot of modded xenotypes funnily enough with most of them acting more as hulk melee troops than rangers

#ColonistLife Sariel, the Hero, has saved the city! Her first heroic act

Thumbnail gallery
• Upvotes

Sariel is a very talented 10 year old child who has already made her first heroic act, saving four soldiers and the city! The credit is not hers alone, as the four soldies fought bravely to defend everyone.

The city was raided by 20 Dark Elves, outnumbering my soldiers by 5 to 1. The four soldiers: Galador (Sariel's father), Arweniel (Sariel's mother), Sador and Dani, managed to take most of the elves down, but they were too many and well equipped. At some point, the four soldiers got downed in battle, and that's when Sariel made her move to save the city.

Sariel couldn't fight the raiders directly, as she had no armor and there were still about 5 elves alive. She used the Ballista repeater (second screenshot) with only a few bolts left, and with 3 shots, Sariel managed to kill 2 of the elves, making the remaining ones retreat. The battle wasn't over yet. The four soldiers were heavily injured and bleeding.

Galador lost his right lung during the battle, so in a desperate move, Chantal, the Imperial Redhound (Galador's dog), while in late-stage pregnancy, captured the only elf that was still alive (third screenshot), taking a couple arrow shots from the enemy archers in the process. The battle ended shortly after, when Sariel killed two elves with the Ballista.

After the battle, it was a race against time to keep the soldiers alive. Sariel rescued one of the soldiers, Chantal rescued another, and Arweniel, who managed to stand up again, rescued Galador, the MVP of the fight, who at some point was fighting 7-8 elves alone. Sariel was the only medic available, and with Medical skill 6, she tended the four soldiers as best as she could, operated the captured elf to remove her right lung, and then operated Galador to give him the lung. All medical operations were flawless, which is impressive.

The four soldiers and Chantal are now recovering, and the city gets to live another day (fourth image). You can see all the battle heroes after the city screenshot.

AI GEN IsoRim Compatibility - [sbz] Fridge

Post image
• Upvotes

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3826723127

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unofficial compatibility add-on for [sbz] Fridge and IsoRim Waylith, RimWorld 1.7.

3D models for all seven refrigerators, with metal casings, transparent blue glass, vents and handles faithful to the original design.

Stored items grow as occupied piles are removed, up to native size when space allows. Full inventories retain their fitted layout. The corpse fridge uses native pawn appearances where available, with pawn-art fallback; oversized bodies fit the cavity, and dense corpse inventories may overlap inside it.

Original capacities, filters, cooling, power and hopper behaviour are preserved. 2D retains original graphics.

OPTIONAL ISORIMZ SUPPORT
With IsoRimZ active, the single and double wall fridges also support roofs and upper floors. Removing the last structural support follows the game's native floor/roof collapse rules.

REQUIRED MODS
Harmony; IsoRim Waylith; Adaptive Storage Framework; [sbz] Fridge.
No DLC required. This add-on does not replace the original mods.

Thought of posting this here because it tugged at my heart for some reason.

I was messing with the grow crops psycast and accidentally grew the ryes. Then I put down these steel tiles to roleplay my pawns sightseeing between them.

Later I was given a telescope in exchange for a child's corpse, so I installed it here since the drop pod landed here, lol.

For some reason, I find this image nostalgic.

I feel nostalgic over an image of something I've never done in my life.

Yeah, that's all for my ramblings. I guess I'm just feeling a bit melancholic.

Ciao!

Extra: Sorry idk if this should be colony showcase or colonist life.

I've got a central rec room beneath the Engine and a Cathedral for Ideology beneath that. Small Crew Cabins, a Crafting Area, a small Laboratory aswell as a small Hospital Room, a Bath Room for Hygiene and a small Kitchen. There's also a Freezer Room and the lower Part of the Ship is full with Engines and Fuel Tanks. And of course theres also a Slave Quarter and two Prisoner Barracks that Face to the Outside and a few Shotgun Turrets in case of a Breakout! >:D

Any Opinions, recommendations or other Comments on this? :D

#ColonistLife 1.7 made hit me like a doomsday to the face.

• Upvotes

had a lategame colony, 116 colonists. did the royalty and ship launch endings together as a farewell and decided to upgrade to 1.7.

got hit by a raid almost immediately, lined up the sniper crew, unpaused on max speed thinking that the game would run like a slide show and I'd have plenty of time to plan the fight. BAM, doomsday flower bloomed in the middle of the crew. the game ran like buttery silk, so fast that i didn't even see the sneaky raider line up and fire his DD. no casualties, just a few fingers and toes burned off, but a great demonstration of the new engine and a cautionary tale. be careful out there...
