After the 5th metal horror event with no gray flesh, I've blocked metal horrors from ever appearing and will do so in my future runs.

They are tedious to prevent, unreasonably strong in combat and, with no warning, always down half of my colony.

Dunno if it's due to mods, but I haven't had a single gray flesh event since I did my Anomaly run and frankly, I'm tired of this shitty enemy.

And before any more smartasses come by: I know perfectly how to avoid metal horrors, but the game can bullshit its way into infecting colonists anyway via magical powers (unnatural healing counts for transmission apparently)

So yeah, that shit is permanently disabled in my game, and good riddance.

didn’t even destroy my roof??

Like I never understood why some characters are like 50 but 5000 years chronologically, I have yet to see any ingame effects or meaning of that extra number of a reason it exists or even what exactly it means. Does anybody know if so please explain it to me

Just getting into the game, so no mods. I can see you don't want your best shooter to be your doctor. But in general, I assume that some skills consume more time than others in the early game. So I would think you don't want those on the same person. What else shouldn't overlap?

Ive only seen this asked maybe 2 times ever in all of Rimworld;
First, is there a mod to control downed pawns? Pawns that aren't unable to manipulate due to pain and are simply downed because of lack of moving? I think being able to have limited action (psycasting toggleable, being able to eat, self tend) would add another layer to combat. This could be balanced by NPCs being able to do this too.

Commander you shot down? Better make sure you finish the job before he crawls to his rifle and grabs it..

SECOND, is there a mod to make a pawn harm/potentially die by their own hand? I ask purely for this functionality as I have a mod that allows one colonist to possess the other and I thought it'd be cool if she could knock herself out or do something of the sort.

I'm setting up a space base for the first time, but I can't wrap my head around how to heat my base without dropping heaters everywhere.

How do you do it? Is there mods I should look into, or is there a system I'm missing?

I downloaded the mod ,,Ancient amorphous threat" and tried to deal with this in diffrent ways but...
I cant. Nor 11 jedi, nor 18 sith, nor 18 guys with guns. Ive beaten the first faze some times but...nothing more. In the second faze she got 500hp/s regeneration, summoning random bulshit from sky and is teleporting around like anime protagonist who dont know what power balance is. I know i could beat it with developer mode but it would be too simple. Please help

Can't seem to find anything about it on the wiki. Maybe it's from a mod, although I usually play with >30 mods or so.

Currently looking into modding but I think this could become complex so probably bad for a beginner like me:

To my idea: What if a race developed as they usually do, if there is a form of magic. With complete dependency on it. Imagine a race which is weak as kittens but become a one man army the longer they meditate and the more psyfocus they have. Imagine a race which cannot use psycastst but instead gets passive effects for each level. start at 50% working speed and for each "level" they get one percent more. Then they get special passive abilities for every 10 levels.

My ideas:

• Psyshield: basically a weak shieldbelt which becomes stronger until there is almost no gun which can Harm you

• Psyblade: Instead of using a sword or similar the psykin conjures a weapon with monosword attributes. It starts at awful but every 5 levels it gets stronger and every 10 a persona effect can be chosen. The blade levels by being equipped while meditating

• Void connection: Remember that scary place with eldritch horrors? What if you could harness it to strengthen your psy abilities? No drawback, just again a weak effect with stronger and stronger effects over time. Each time you want to level you are teleportet into the void and have to fight a large threat alone.

There are more ideas for abilities but the gist of it is "No guns, just blades, No active abilities just passive strenthening, You will probably die but if you survive long enough no man can kill you"

I've been staring at this for ages now and I swear I'm going crazy.

There's a grand meditation throne, 6 columns, 2 drapes, 2 lit brazers, a piano, impressiveness 170/160, all fine floored (either tile or carpet, under the art, throne, and even the door), and it's 9x10 for 90 spaces. What am I missing here??

Every time I bring the guy for the bestowing ceremony he stands in the kitchen and tells me the throne room doesn't meet requirements.

RimWorld acts like you need to keep animals in a pen 24/7 or else they’ll run away the first chance they get, but that’s just not how it works.

Like, I get it for exotic animals or whatever, but we’re talking about cows and sheep here. These are domesticated animals that have been living alongside humans for thousands of years! Farmers let their cattle graze in fields all the time. They don’t just wander off into the wilderness never to be seen again. Sure they’ll wander for a bit but they eventually return to the place they know has food and shelter, because guess what? Animals aren’t stupid! A cow will not see an open fence gate and decide “welp, it’s time for me to live alongside the wolves and never return”

I tried setting up a nice big pasture area with grass and everything, thinking my animals could just chill there and eat. Nope! The moment I don’t have a fence around every single square, my muffalo decides it’s time to take a vacation and wander off.

And don’t even get me started on the “animal area” system. Why do I need to micromanage where my cow is allowed to walk? It’s a COW. It wants to eat GRASS. There’s grass RIGHT THERE.

I'm looking for a mod that lets you give a colonist an order to replace walls with a different kind of wall. like they would go to the wall, deconstruct it, then bring the new material to it and build it, all in one order. Is there any mod like that?

I updated rimworld to the latest patch that came out a few days ago (patch 1.6.4544) and now the tabs of the architect menu don't display anything. Because I can't use anything in the architect menu, I essentially cannot play the game. I tried removing all of my mods and had the save file completely on vanilla, but the problem persisted.

I figured that if I can revert the update and go back to the previous patch, then I should be able to continue playing the game just fine as it was working with no issues before. However, the latest update that steam will allow me to go back to through the betas tab is update 1.5.

Is there any other way to revert an update? Or maybe somebody knows of this specific issue and has some troubleshooting ideas? If not, that would be deeply unfortunate to say the least, as this save file has been going for over 20 in game years.

If it at all helps, this is what my mod list looks like for the save file:
Harmony
Core
Royalty
Ideology
Biotech
Anamoly
Odyssey
Common Sense
[FSF] Always Rearm Turrets
LWM's Deep Storage
Nutrient Paste Dispenser Command
No Random Relations
Stone Conversion Recipes
Not My Fault
Auto-Cut Blight - 1.6
[FSF] Complex Jobs (Legacy Version)

Is hoarding 6000+ steel, 200+ components, 1300+ uranium, useful things I'll never use cuz they're one time use, more than enough advanced components and having my walls made out of jade, called bad wealth management?

(asking for a friend, beacouse i definitely don't do that)

Cause fuck flashstorms. If my map is randomly on fire, I am making it rain.

I tried to place an electric stove but It just removed my entire GUI, this happened in a previous playthrough when I tried to use a sentience catalyst on an animal.

I just think it would be funny

I am playing basic game, no expansions, no mods. There are a ton of settlements. I was only getting quests from one so I went on a tour and visited a bunch more that I am either neutral or allied with. Will they give me more quests? Aside from a slight variety in their goods sold there doesn't seem to be any use I can put them to.
