whats wrong with the thread on the other board?

>>2302069
Isn't the entire rhetoric of the empire that it fell down to its own weight? In a world without FTL you cant just keep everything on and connected. Maybe im obsolete with the lore but unless anomaly added mentions of the empire in there i don't see horax directly interested on them.

I hate the empire DLC because it makes up some dumb rimworld-verse instead of leaving it vague so that you can fill in the blanks yourself

I’d definitely like a river, maybe a road, and some coastline!
I’ve seen some people get whole islands. I’d like that too, but from what I’ve seen it’s mostly island and less mainland. I wouldn’t mind making a moated castle but like a whole village on the isle…? Nah!

The horrible overpriced DLC killed this game for me. Only dlc features I liked are childbirth and xenotypes.

It really feels like he forces you to play only an undergrounder military compound if you want to have fun. Anyway yeah I get you the RW thread kind of sucks right now because of two people just circle jerking constantly and they just ignore everything that isn't coomposting.

>>2305889
I mean there are alternatives. Gravship completely breaks the game on default setting because it resets time and success adaptation scaling. And there is a wealth cap after which you can smack anything the game sends your way, and before you say not really I'll say 50+ cataphract cyborgs with miniguns and sniper rifles.

Ah we have two ways to play the game now wonderful.

wealth scaling was always a shitty mechanic
it always will be
rimworld will forever be that game you toss aside once you realize the game is playing against your own success

>>2307304
Alright I'll bite. Tell me how it's the same basing and hiding in an instance like a flesh cave or stockpile basement and never dealing with raids or most incidents ever, intentionally keeping your wealth under wraps or having so much actionable wealth you laugh off almost any vanilla max point raid? And fuck tynan, I'm just curious what's your reasoning.

Dude just pirate them. Rimworld DLCs are some of the easiest to just pirate. I havent paid for a single DLC so far and I can live perfectly fine knowing that the hack faggot isn't getting a single cent.

>>2305889
don't play on losing is fun (or whatever it's called nowadays)?

>>2307543
I... I pirated them. They are still under-cooked, boring and tedious and bloated. My issue is that instead of making substantive updates to the base game, Tynan made redditors pay 100USD for mods.
And the fact that childbirth is a dlc.exclusive feature and if I want kids I need to install the sexmod or have mechanitors and pigmen in my game.

>>2303483

tried it for a bit, insofar looks alright but don't have as much desire to play it as rimworld or songs of syx since the setting seems kind of bland. on the surface just looks like df at home but I never played df outside reading the generated history so I can't give a good comparison like an actual df player could.

NTA but I only download the stuff I'll certainly use at some point. I remember using almost all mods on an old PC and getting 15 minutes loading time.

>>2303447
>instead of leaving it vague
Things still pretty vague even with the Empire stuff. I always imagine the Emperor as a fat slob addicted to luciferium

Personally I'm just baffled that it took Tynan nearly ten years to start implementing diagonal walls.

Space rat empire mod (OA): It was worth it for a run for some variety. Meat production replaced by the yellow flowers, their reactor also acts as a battery, so you can have solar for real, it's not all about geothermal, and uranium and synthread finally has some use. Lots of clothes for fashion, but you'll get shot if you wear them.

Ultimate Storyteller mod: Keeping this one forever. Seems random enough for now, but still sends raids.

SRTS: Keeping this one too. Solves the problem of being stuck on one side of a mountain range, and if you want to declare one faction your enemy and remove from the planet, you can do it in the late game. I saw no reason to pay for Odyssey for now when this is there.

>>2319289
how do you defend this

>>2320040
Not him but I play with the threat scale turned way the fuck down precisely so I can have nice bases and not depend on a killbox just to stay alive

>>2320040
Water is great defense, it slows them down. And we hauled the stones from the other shore so that they have no cover if they stop and shoot.
They usually come from the west where we have positions built out, or from the northeast, where we hide behind the rocks. If it looks like they'll make it across in numbers, we run inside.


>>2320678
Yes, I had to turn it down to Strive after we ate a doomsday while trying to hide in the gene bank building once.
By the endgame it was ok again because OA has some busted weapons, as faction mods usually do. I still considered it more balanced than the regular ratkin weapons expanded, because these ones are at least deep behind techprints. We spent most of the run on their assault rifle equivalent.

Are there any mods that rebalance shop prices and quest rewards to make the rare shit more expensive/harder to aquire? It upsets my autism when I can get something like archeotech from some trivial quest or buy it for the price of a harvest of potatoes or two.

>>2321886
You can edit the trade price disadvantage and quest reward scale in the storyteller settings.

>>2321886
half the point of the setting is that the rare precious ultratech stuff isn't really rare or precious, you're just in the ass end of nowhere - and to the duke of earl that stuff is mundane (and to the starving primitive, you can't eat a power cell)

How are the big 40k mods in terms of changing gameplay? So far I've just been going with an all DLC minus Anomaly run, adding random mods to patch shit that pissed me off or felt lacking (storage, diplomacy, roadbuilding, vehicles, genecrafting, RimWar and so on) but when this playthrough is done i'd like to start over with mods that really shake up the game for the better.

>>2323321
Rimdark adds muhreens and a gene system to create them from thunder warriors all the way to primarchs, also adds an empire faction that works like the royalty empire with ranks and such, I enjoy it.
Grimworld adds a LOT of apparel and items and factions, most of them bloat. It also adds a shitty monument to every starter map with the names of the patreon donors, which I think is very gay. I don't play with it.

>>2323331

human semen is vegan as long as the human consented to having it removed

>>2326513
this is the stupidest take but one I've seen every vegan i spoke with about that make despite it making zero sense

>>2326524
it's objectively correct though, vegan's problems are with animals being incapable of giving consent, if humans laid eggs they'd be fine with those, and they also would consider consensual cannibalism acceptable except it's illegal and the whole prion thing (which isn't in rimworld for some reason)
why doesn't it make sense to you?

>>2326526
vegan literally means not eating any animal products, humans are mammals therefore eating human spunk isnt vegan
otherwise milk would be vegan because cows go to the milking machines themselves to relieve themselves
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/vegan

>>2326529
do you not understand the consent part
like cows have been bred to overproduce milk to the point where they'll literally die if they're not milked, that doesn't mean they agree to have it sold on the consumer market

I installed altered carbon, i put a neural stack on a (male) 3 month old toddler because his leg was shot off in friendly fire, i was going to transfer this stack into a sleeve and i had already built the thing to make one but then i got an event for a psychic storm and two archons spawned and got immediately gunned down by my ships, and one of the archons (female) didn't die but was incapacitated and so i just ripped the cortical stack from the toddler and put it in the archon.

>>2349029
Its definitely worth getting
At some point I'd say it was even worth buying until we saw what a hack Tynan truly is with his DLC's.
Play the base game at the start and if you like it consider DLCbloat along with mods.

How do the expansions work? I don't have any. Biotech and Odyssey seem interesting to me. Are they all combined from the base crash landing start? Or is the spaceship part a separate game start? Are the biotech features included automatically in the other expansions?

File: he died as he lived - completely retarded.png (2.8 MB)

>>2349715
Each DLC usually adds some new starting options, but all the content is still available regardless of which start you pick. You can do the Anomaly Researches start from that DLC and still build a spaceship, for example.
The starting options are just for variety (and sometimes give you access to the related DLC mechanics a little earlier).

>>2349715
vdym? They're paywalled chunks of content with minimal integration between them. You new to the concept of dlcs or something?

Anon, they can still drop pod in space, stations, asteroids, etc.
Hence why I disabled that shit. Makes 0 sense.

>>2353783
Asteroids have mountain roofs without bugs. Stations have central drop only if there's no unroofed edge. Neither have breacher or siege raids that may involve 9000+ tribals or mech mortars or thermites. Face it, you've been given the tools but failed to use them. I bet you didn't get the book either

>>2353788
I must have something that changes that then because this was NOT THE CASE at odyssey launch for me. Also again, still doesn't change them just going through hull, which was what I was initially talking about.

>>2353789
Yeah, sure. All the missing incidents and raid types and objectively broken or overpowered shit that remain unpatched or unchanged in anomaly and now odyssey special areas since their respective launches but this one raid type that apparently has you coping since 2015 got changed in a way only you perceive. And gravships breaking the core mechanic of wealth and damage scaling whenever they jump remain untouched. heh.

Face it. You've been given the tools but failed to use them.

Is it normal for the fallen empire to be at war with random quest refugee groups? As soon as the quest ended and the refugees stopped being semi-members of my colony, the royal tribute collectors just gunned them all down.*

Dumbest part is that one of them is sadwandering, so I can't just move them all to some other part of the map before the quest finishes so they'll leave from a different map edge.

It's fun if you're into the central gimmick, but doesn't contribute much else to your games.

>>2357939
You don't deserve your friend.

>>2357939
Its completely disconnected from the rest of the game, which is fine, if you dont mind. But its really not going to affect you in any way if you dont make a playthrough strictly based on the DLC, in any case i have it disabled personally, its not terrible and the gameplay of it is fun but Its a separate game and you have to keep that in mind

>>2358168
How can you even imagine playing rimworld and not taking a incinerator heavy lineup against tribals or furries? Not that it's busted against them, and it clearly is, just the theme of it.

>>2358254
The same way anyone imagined playing the game for years before that crappy DLC was added?

>>2358254
Why would you take an incinerator to the fireproof tribals?

>>2358287
Their corpses aren't actually fireproof. And neither are their houses.

Biotech is the second best after Ideology

>>2357939
Ideology was perhaps the weakest....can't even have an opinion and homos. Can make a cult that cut your eyes out, but god forbid you dislike fags a little.

NEVER understood this choice

>>2365508
Ok, homo

>>2357939
Anomaly is personally my favorite. So much useful shit added on top of fun things to fight. I do recommend Biotech solely due to xenotypes. There are mechs and kids if you care, but xenotypes alone are worth it in my opinion. Odyssey as well due to the stuff it adds to the world to encounter/the variance. Those are my 'if you like the base game and just want to add stuff that adds variety more than anything' picks. Ideology is nice if you are into minmaxing/rping when playing. Royalty adds fun stuff to play with like Anomaly, but a lot less. And if you complain about needing to do alt research/capturing entities, you will be annoyed with psycasts being unreliable without being tribals if you don't want to have a royal. I don't get it. Basically just having monster prisoners, but there is dumber things people bitch about with Rimworld. Plus permits being locked behind royals too

>>2365526
>Anomaly is best
said no one ever

>>2365526
Definitely agree they're all worth a pirate.

>Anomaly is personally my favorite.
Would've said the same but gravship is just too goddamn convenient.

>>2365610
Totally understandable. I'm sure I will have a small one for mid/endgame in a 'normal/typical' playthrough. I don't know. I was excited for gravships at first, but I bounced off them pretty hard. Definitely will have good use for themed runs for sure though.

>>2365736
The real gamechanger is actually the shuttle from ody. Even if you don't modincrease its capacity you can send multiple shuttles to trade and psycast return. And when you setup a couple the only running cost is chemfuel which is so renewable and widely available it's plain silly. Add to that how the game is not meant to calculate wealth each time you jump treating it as a new colony for time progression and how limited ship space means naturally limited wealth and you get something special. Absolutely retarded since you can avoid engaging with most challenges if you so decide but special.

>>2365795
The shuttle is super nice for speeding up trading. I didn't mind caravanning, but the shuttle makes it a non-issue when doing anything off map. Does far skipping on the world map (or inside a tile even) bring the shuttle with you? I never thought about if that was the case or not before. I already used farskip heavily when a colony allowed such.

>>2365976
No, the shuttle still needs to pilot back. But you can get the farskipper into position in hours instead of days+ and you can cast it regardless if the caravan is too overloaded to move. Convenient if you're selling something pricey but low volume and bringing back a shitload of say steel or cloth. Or if you just landed somewhere you can send a few random shuttles somewhere and bring back chunks, ore or wood.

Ah, the India school of crapping on the mainstreet is functional approach to urbanization. Gotcha.

Fucking hell anon. Move the hospital and kitchen to where there rooms are, put rooms there and move the crap bottom left. Doesn't look as shit and saves time on hauling and cleaning as well. You're still getting fucked by first breacher, orbital or serious mortar raid. Hell, a nig with a molotov will ruin your sorry ass but it's a start.

>>2366489

And give those poor pawns more than a single goddamn toilet.

>>2366496
There's 3 toilets actually. There's a few port holes to deal with breacher raids (I'm using CE so they get mowed down by machine gun and sniper fire pretty fast). I have a mortar to deal with mortar raids + I just send out snipers which works pretty well. Mech clusters are a real PITA though.

>>2367303
Completely invalidates melee.
AI pawns cannot take advantage of CE.

>>2367327
Bro your shield belts? Dropping someone in the middle of an enemy base with power armor and a swod+shield is super powerful in CE as well. If you can close the gap melee is more lethal than ranged.

>>2367303
Mainly because it screws with too many files and ends up breaking with or breaking other mods. Not a fan on its changes either but that's on me.

>>2367303
>I like the ammo system
It's pretty shallow. It matters for about 2 minutes in the early game, until you research the ability to craft 1000 bullets out of a tiny amount of steel

Have some standards dude. Not all of his mods are terrible, but not of them are that good either, at least not enough to infect your game with traced art and vibecoded pajeet mods that the guy commissioned for 5 bucks

So the Beam Repeater, which bypasses enemy force shields, can't be used if you're wearing a force shield, but the Beam Graser, which does not bypass enemy force shields, can be used while wearing a force shield?

What even is the "storytelling opportunity" of this? Even if you have a more reasonable amount of relations turn up, what are you supposed to do with them? You can't usually recruit them, and they don't do anything unique other than being a -4 mood penalty if they die (so slightly worse than eating a meal in your lap or on the ground). If we weren't including children until Biotech, I would have gladly accepted abstracting familial relations in general, Tynan.

>>2380267
There really isn't any. I like rw but the game is objectievly shallow and repetative as all fuck.

>>2380270
It is quite interesting that Rimworld is fun in spite of itself rather than because of it. I agree that it's shallow and repetitive, but I for some reason haven't put it down for longer than a year at a time.

I acquired Odyssey and completed a very enjoyable playthrough. I now want to add 1 more DLC and then do another playthrough, cumulatively adding one more DLC as I go.
I'm deciding on acquiring another DLC, either Biotech or Ideology
I know Biotech adds a shitload of content but on the other hand, I downloaded a suicide vest mod and I want to use slaves as walking IEDs.
Which one should I acquire first?

>>2380291
Suppose the core gameplay loop is engaging enough.

>>2381172
think of the children and acquire biotech

>>2381172
stop thinking of the children like a pedo and acquire ideology

Having played through wandering village, i feel like it does a better job of offering replaybility than rimworld despite being smaller scoped and contaning less content
>both propose a story where you travel to leave the hostile environment, but in rimworld traveling isn’t engaging or fun, nor realistic especially on 100% planet generation
>proposes scenarios with specific challenges, which unlock in game skins or/and further challenges to tackle and different gameplay styles to use
I get that Rimworld is about ‘muh story’ and all the limitations are for you to impose on yourself, but there is no sense from gameplay perspective to make ideology that isn’t efficient or a biome that isn’t easy.

>>2381290
you are not supposed to finish vanilla rimworld, you are supposed to cram it full with the thousands of mods there are for it

>>2381290
Problem with ideology is the tenants are either busted or pretty much irrelevant flavor. As for biomes only two that offer something different are ice sheet and super extreme desert which make you depend on raiders on start and plays the same as any other minus possibility for a mountain base after a year or few and jungles, swamps and such which are just a pain in the ass if you don't stock up on meds.

At least they're high raid-ponts, but even with them having the highest ones in vanilla, they feel under-priced. Five tribal chiefs are not combat-equivalent to a centipede blaster, but according to raid-points they are. Hell a Janissary easily beats up two chiefs, even if he's supposed to lose, so the system isn't that good at considering how concentration of equipment and skill affects difficulty.

File: RimworldEMP.png (77.9 KB)

>>2384369
In theory it can perma-stun, but if you use anything that does damage (Zeushammer, EMP rounds unique), then it's pretty worthless. My guess is that you're intended to have a pawn dedicated to the EMP lifestyle, and that pawns with implants are meant to be much more common, so that they have something to do in the non-mechanoid raids. Either that or you should keep an EMP launcher at your killbox (which themselves don't feel intended, but it's the only way to deal with later threats)

The need to have a dedicated EMP guy feels in line with fire at least, since it should more so work as an anti-player rather than anti-raid tool. You can't dedicate one guy to be expendable molotov chucker, but the raid certantly can (of course you can make it work, but hellcats and incendiary launchers are a bit more fiddly than a charge rifle). Problem is that EMP means nothing to a player, and five out of six hostile factions aren't usually bothered by it. Hell two factions (Pirates, tribals) can't be bothered since they don't have implants that interact with EMP. Fire on the other hand will stun everyone but mechanoids, can be an addition to rather than a replacement for a gun, and does actual damage besides.

EMP under-barrel grenades on uniques were a step in the right direction, but they should have been craftable like the hellcat.
