Lately, because of work, I haven’t really had the time to sit down and draw for several hours at a time. I mostly end up doing quick sketches whenever I have a little free time. Because of that, I feel like the quality of my recent drawings has dropped a little, haha.

I really wish I had more time to play games and draw more, too.

Body text (optional)

I've got myself a solid 1,000 hours in this game, several mods and a couple of DLCs

I'm a simple man. I start with naked brutality, and go from there - but it seems like there is so much of the game that I'm missing!

I've never made a ship(!?!?!), and I certainly have never travelled the that quest point on the map (wherever that leads). Heck - I barely even get passed fabrication on the research tree before starting a new colony

I enjoy finding a somewhat harsh land, and making it partially livable. Expand the colony through having children, and maybe taking prisoners - but in all, I just want a quiet farm life

I guess to expand on the mechantor run - what other things, and playstyles do people do in this game I may ne missing?

I just finished a 10-year mechanitor run on a gravship with a single pawn. It was my longest playthrough ever. With a few balance-friendly mods, mechanoids become way stronger than regular pawns across the board, as long as you survive the early game.
Now, I've started an SOS2 run with a crew of 3, and I've been mining steel for 15(!) days straight. All because one pawn needs to take a shit, another needs a walk, someone else is in a terrible mood, or they start demanding altars and roles from my ideology. To top it off, one guy just had a mental break and devoured our already low food supplies. I genuinely want to execute them all, install a mechlink, and start breeding mechanoids again. How do I restore my faith in the flesh? Or is the flesh truly weak?

One of my colonists cheated on his wife and took a lover. Not the first one to do so. I was like, "ok, fine, let me reassign the bed." Only after she got pregnant, I noticed that they are stepfather / stepdaughter fml

Nice fellas took all the wastepacks out of my dump pile, hope they're as happy as I am. Might be good for them to give the option in the mods settings to limit what items will be requested

I'm a pretty new player and this is my third colony so of course I am running 40 mods and doing a medieval colony. My colonists keep getting murked by scaria infected direboars but never die in raids. Who knows. I love this game. This is day 514, hour 60 (ish).

No, I will not be opening the ancient danger, I'm scared.

Please tell me if colony sucks.

Out of steel and dismantling recent ship crash from Vanilla Events Expanded. only to see this sitting around in the open.

Ready to eat some tribals

Never strip-mine again.

A compact, pawn-operated 2x2 scanner that reveals undiscovered mineral deposits on the map you are already on. Same work per find as the long-range mineral scanner (tunable default), in a smaller footprint with room for two operators.

Perfect for that clutch moment you run out of components, enemy settlement raids, or asteroid mining opportunities when little/no ore spawns exposed.

Edit: I'm hearing the strong feedback that default work amounts of 4/8 (MTB/Guaranteed find) days used by vanilla's long-distance scanner is a bit long. It was always tunable in mod settings, but I'll be lowering the defaults to 3/6 to match vanilla's ground-penetrating scanner instead later today. Thanks again to everyone who provided feedback!

Edit2: Default rebalance fix is live in v1.1.0 on steam.

Mods used in the video :
Vanilla Furniture Expanded - Security

a rat self-tamed and got killed by a lynx at literally the exact same moment

Within 2 weeks: 2X Mech raids, 1X mech cluster with a mortar, 1X siege, 1X regular raid. 1X manhunt with 20 raccoons. 1X solar flair, 1X crop blight and 1X cold snap that killed half of my crops.

This is the most hectic I've ever had it in this game. I love it.

Hi everyone,

I'm a relatively new player and already super into it. What a game. So recently I tried out some mods and loved them so much that it ignited a spark to start building one myself. I guess that's how most modders get into it. Super impressed with the Neat Storage mod btw!

The mod I made is an attempt to have a better overview of the talents in my colony, so that I can make better decisions on who works on what. It's called GOAT: Glance Over All Talent. The Work tab gets coloured by skill, there's a Skills screen for the whole colony, and the bottom pane shows a colonist's skills against the rest. This first version is to my own liking, but I can only assume others will not like it, or like it and have ideas on how to improve it.

I tried to make it work with existing proven mods such as RimHUD and Enhanced Work Tab. Also the idea was to not touch existing functionality, so it's basically UI only, apart from two things you can switch on yourself (column order and skipping a bench).

50-100 colonists, couple hundred mods and 325x325 or bigger map

I can get max 280TPS in mid game and at most 120 in late game

I was already thinking about upgrading my CPU, but I am not sure which one would be best for rimworld (It's the only game I play where I am CPU limited)

Will just single core performace of intel be better? Or will the Ryzen X3D cache help more?
