This is a good idea, I figured just playing on not Randy would give you this breather but this could also work while still preserving the insanity of Randy.

Randy is actually a pretty decent choice for a simple, entertaining run. If you want to just hang and play, just avoid Cassandra Classic at all costs. This is because Cassandra Classic is always escalating the difficulty of the game, sending an average of 8 major threats a year. Randy can always decide "fuck it" and send you multiple huge raids in a single season, but he's generally far more mellow than Cassandra and when he does get active he's just as likely to send you 500 duck meat or 30 manhunting rabbits or something just as silly.

Of course, if you want a real break that's what Phoebe Chillax is for since you'll get at least a week between major raids. Then when you're well established and want to fight for your life, switch to Cassandra Classic and make some sarcophagi.

I use this mod to ensure that the storyteller is truly at random. It even works with custom storytellers!
 
I've used that one as well! I've consistently found that my only "oh shit" moments when using it is when it changes to one of the meme difficulty custom storytellers or.....Cassandra Classic.
 
I am a lazy faggot that just installs a modlist from steam and play with that, you guys got any recs ?
I used Sophies but that shit is bloat and takes like 10mins to load so im looking if you guys have anything interesting. (i own all* dlcs but i will pirate the odyssey)
Also for content creators i watch "Pete Complete" (he does light rp series and his voice is nice)
And for content shit and mod rev is "MysteriousFawx" (well he revs mods and he is from UK and lib so if you can ignore that i recc him)
If you guys know some other interesting ones @ me.
 
i've been wanting to get back into rimworld again after many years. is there any quick guide i can read to learn the myriad of basics and perfunctory actions so that i don't feel too retarded?
 
So is the latest DLC worth it? Been hearing good things.

Haven't even got around to playing with the biotech or cthullu stuff either, so this will be multiple new learning experiences.

It's up there with Biotech in terms of impact to the game, if you are going to buy DLC it's good bang for your buck.

I think this is still useful for teaching you how to pick colonists and what to do for the first few seasons of the game but the combat information is probably quite out of date.
 
I just lost some of my best fighters to a bug. Using the passenger shuttle to go to a quest location and when I arrived everything just vanish. The location, my colonists, even my shuttle all into thin air. There's no error log that pop up so I don't know what went wrong either. What a bummer.

Unless you're running an ironman save, get this mod. It lets you generate the destination map first then choose your landing spot.
 
If I buy this game but don't want to be a DLCcuck do I need to worry about malware in repacks, or is the RimWorld modding / extension framework sufficiently constrained to prevent inclusion of arbitrary programs within mods?

I had the exact same thing happen to me today. It destroyed 11 of my podgrown soldiers. I wasnt playing ironman, but I still had to give up 30~ minutes to fix it.
Weird thing is, that triggered what I can only presume to be a whole other bug. My last save was made in preparation for a mysterious cargo (unnatural corpse), and when I retriggered it in my second go around, the body wouldnt spawn, but Id get the reward regardless.
In the error log it said it "failed to find corpse tracker" and deleted the corpse. It also said something about a deep save.

I found someone who had a similar issue, but no real insight into how to fix it.

Ultimately I gave up on the quest.

I used to care about bloat (so much that ve mod trigger me hard) until I, just like you become lazy but I went for fuck it gonna cram every mods in route. Yup game start up time become shit and game also lagging hard even with the new multi thread support.
Is fishery performance mod still in development?

Unfortunately I was in fact running an ironman save. It was my second colonies and already on its 3rd year so maybe it's time I take a break from this game a little bit.

Pro-tip for the future, if you ever get into a situation in ironman where something goes wrong, you can Ctrl+Alt+Del (in Windows) to kill the program without autosaving. Then when you relaunch RimWorld, you can load the previous autosave.

Sorry for your loss, I would ragequit for sure in your shoes.
 
"Oh? What's this? A big pain emitting orb? Okay well at least it's easy to contain and gives me some good research. Uh oh, it's destabilizing and I should send it to attack something soon? Okay I guess it can take out these six club-wielding raiders for me."

"OH GOD OH FUCK GET OUT OF MY LABORATORY!!! CHRIST ALL THE CHILDREN ARE DEAD!!! MY BEAM REPEATER AND PERSONA ZEUSHAMMER DO NOTHING OH NO!!!

FUCK'S SAKE THIS IS NOT THE TIME FOR THAT METALHORROR TO POP OUT DEAR GOD"

And that is how my colony went from a prosperous 10 pawns to a smoldering crater with 3 survivors, all in the span of two minutes IRL. Anomaly is pretty cool. :)


And then a second Nociosphere landed shortly thereafter.

Get yourself a mechanitor. The war queen can keep a nociosphere busy for the duration of its rampage, and sometimes even kill it for you.
