At least from my testing. I am making this post to ask you guys if you've noticed the same , or is it just me.

i have a very FAT stack of mods (about 400)

i tested this modlist on both versions (1.6 is missing some mods, but not many)

on 1.5 with rocketman/performance fish i still had stable 360tps with 50 colonists on large map

on 1.6 i start dropping down to 170 tps with just 30 colonists , on large map.

Dear organ collectors,

I have 2 questions for you :

• While using the graveship, is it possible to chose which animal or mech you take with you ? By default all my pets and mech are coming inside and I would like to leave some on my main base

• What are your typical scenario ? A flying base with only temporary maps or you keep your main base and send your graveship to exploration ?

Thank you by advance guys

it removes the bald gene so they spawn with hair... I honestly think it gives them a lot of character lol

Great! A excelent negotiatior creepjoiner! And he has no downsides!

Fast forward one year....

It's incredibly annoying that they start shooting from a kilometer distance and because of this they never hit, and the animal runs away from the location

It says it's a child, it have the stats of a vat growth with no skill or passion child, but have 25 biological years and is from a faction that probably don't have growth vats... The fuck should i do? Spare him? Turn into ghoul?

With 17 social skill when my highest colonist has 5

He spawned in front of a starving pantera

"Write me a 2,000 word story about a flying fortress filled with child soldiers that moonlight as chemists and a hospital room that moonlights as a butcher shop."

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 mean before being wiped out completely, do you ever just think 'nah this is cursed, I'm starting over'

My last run I gave up because coincidental crap kept just screwing me.

In the end i sent a caravan to clear a mech cluster with a sun blocker, after messing around for days getting all the deathrest out of the way half way there one of them gets malaria. Then they arrived and a raid hits home base at the same time! This was also days after my key crafter died from a single grenade throw which also set my armour upgrade back again. My lead vampie did manage to burn off both his middle fingers at one point though, so thats something.

I raided a mechanoid platform, and the last room contained a whole load of filled mech vats, a squad of militors accompanied by a scorcher and a tesseron, as well as a slug turret. One of my colonists got shot straight through the brain by the slugger right before I cleared it.

I buried him right then and there, in a jade sarcophagus in space. I don't pay much attention to it because I'm more focused on the funeral.

Once it's done, I realize it's excellent and actually contains the guy who got buried in the artwork, namely "sitting in quiet contemplation" while reading a book.

I can just imagine my moral guide giving a eulogy while standing before an engraving of the passed.

I love rimworld

EDIT: gotta mention the music: Moving On

After the deadly escape from mechanoid, and gruesome fight with the empire as deserters. Starlight Starsky and his crew of ebon hawk finally defeated the Celebrex core empire sent to hunt them.

But the fight isn't over, there's the empire to deal with. Normally, the Astrain like him are mechanophobic, and hate AI in nature. But the mission to bring down the empire is more important, he decied to salvage its technology and give to mechanitor friend - Foxtrot Foxhider.

Now, the next step - Kill the Empire and free the planet.

BTW, how is my version of Ebon hawk go, my friends?

Also: Here's Gravship Deserter scenario for those interested: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3553846853&searchtext=Gravship+deserter

The title already describes the problem. I have ALL DLCs bought, for some reason whenever I open rimworld with steam open, Odyssey just dissappears from the "Mods" tab, it even dissappears on rimpy, but if I close steam and open rimworld from rimpy, it goes back

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"

Anyone have any idea what mod causes this? It doesnt happen to every dead horses

Just drop a shipshield infront of it when it starts to aim, repeat twice and you have a dead boss. Only requires a level 6 psycaster but if you want to watch the mechs explode themselves this sure is a funny way to do it.

Hello, I wanted to enrich my experience with Rimworld with the DLCs, since so far I've only been playing the core game, however I'm not entirely sure if they would just integrate into my save or would I need to make a new one.

Obviously I tried to find out myself before coming here to bother people about that, but I wasn't able to find all the information I needed. I know that Ideology and Biotech stuff just appears in the game (though without the Biotech-specific "special" factions) and Anomaly is introduced to the game via a special quest (though, honestly, I'm not too interested in this one. Rimworld is already plenty hard without the supernatural stuff).

But what about Royalty and Odyssey? I'm guessing that Odyssey wouldn't be much of a problem, just making people in possession of Gravship parts the player can earn, loot or purchase, but Royalty could be a bit more problematic, I think, since it adds a special faction that was not present when the world was generated.

And most importantly, if the world was created with just the core game, would it mean that I am stuck with only two ways to end the game (losing or leaving the planet) or would the DLC endings become available too?

With no flaws whatsoever. Just a showcase, nothing else to see here.

Yet again (and because I'm to dumb to update posts, I don't know how that works) here is my (now second) draft for the perfect starter guide for rimworld. It's not finished, the next step will be HUD and gameplay of the first days.

It should be much more readable now. I'm looking forward to your input!

Are these errors normal? How can I know which mods are causing the problem?

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.
