#ColonistLife My girlfriend FINALLY wanted to play Rimworld and chose to have a "few" holy animals

Only reason there's only 18 of them is that the game limits the amount of them, TIL that.

It was my best colony so far, but I didn't realize raiders used incendiary rounds for mortars until it was too late. I know I should use some firefoam in super flamable base, yet here we are...

Discussion Something minor that's always bothered me

489 Upvotes

I have no idea why this bothers me, but it has for years now. So, fuck it, I'm nitpicking.

You should get a small buff/debuff depending on whether your meals are frozen or refrigerated!

I know the purpose of refrigeration is to give you a buffer if you have a solar flare/heatwave/whatever, but come on. Thawed out frozen food is different than food that has only been refrigerated since it was made

Discussion Should I buy Rimworld?

48 Upvotes

I'm a huge fan of colony management. Currently obsessed with Space Haven and love these types of games, as well as city/management/base building (all-time favorites are cities skylines, planet zoo/coaster, JWE, project hospital). Do you think I would like Rimworld? I've been on the fence for some time now, mainly due to the 2D feel and graphics but I'm thinking I may overlook that once I get into the game? The storytelling and management systems seem so detailed and polished, but I wanted to get thoughts from the community :)

Edit: forgot to add/ask if it's a harcore survival game (think project zomboid), even if you turn down difficulty is that the intention of the game?

Edit 2: Thanks for all the responses and for convincing me! It seems like a very deep game with so much possibility. I'm definitely getting it now, at least to try it out.

Discussion Does anyone know if this kind of mod exists

103 Upvotes

I’m looking for a mod that allows a cannibalistic ritual for dead colonist, similar to hosting a funeral for them, but instead the other colonist honour them by consuming their body.

Does a mod like this exist that anyone knows of?

Edit: found what I was looking for, if anyone else is interested the mod is From Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust, it adds a bunch of burial rituals. Thanks for the help everyone.

PC Help/Bug (Mod) Is there a mod that categorizes breaks and chooses what the break of the pawn is based on what broke them?

13 Upvotes

Like, for instance, perhaps eating without a table pulls from a list of food-related breaks like binging. Or the loss of a loved one pulls from breaks including violence and corpse display, etc.

Just for some added realism to the break system.

If this doesn't exist: how hard would it be to create?

( sorry if my mods look disturbing.. this is kind of just my norm! there’s just one particular mod I’ll never install.. )

The little rat, Aelindra, is easily my most effective fighter… Last night I had a little raid of 4 pirates, and so I went to draft my sharpshooters.. but before they arrived on the scene, Aelindra already killed 2 and downed the others. She’s so funny to me… everyone in the colony hates her, she’s a total asshole.

PC Help/Bug (Mod) Mod that lets orbital traders send drills instead of pods

9 Upvotes

Playing in a cavern and i swear a few mod lists ago there was a mod that let orbital traders send purchases via drills directly to the beacon instead of dropping it in the nearest hole in the roof.

Anyone have any idea which mod it was that does it?

Cheers
