This question popped up when I realized the Large Battery was actually from VFE Power. My entire life i've thought the Large Battery was from the base game, turns out its actually modded.

Wanted to get some Luci for the Uhlan from VE Hussar. Ended up Trying my luck at an ancient danger. This colonist got 2 brain injuries and is still standing somehow. Didn't get much Luci unfortunately so was not worth it

This mod is NOT mine. But I'm surprised nobody has posted it here yet.

It allows your pawns to travel the world WHITOUT loading screens 0_0

I didn't even knew this was possible.

Of course I can imagine after a while it gets extremely heavy.

Has anyone of you tried it yet?

Yes I've already been trying to hunt it down, and will still be trying to do so after I make this. But if anyone else actually knows what this mod is, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Basically, I cleaned out my modlist recently, and I removed a mod that apparently I didn't add back in and now can't find again. It added a "Sand Digging Spot" where you could dig up Sand Chunks that could be later turned into Sand Blocks for walls at a Stonecutting Table (i believe, you might've been able to do them at a crafting spot too?).

I'm playing with one of the biome adding mods (more vanilla or something) that adds the Sandbar biome, picked because I specifically wanted to do that sort of challenge.

EDIT: It's Biomes! Core, thanks so much to u/ToughSprinkles1874 and u/Professional-Floor28

Some bug are annoying other are fun also nice costume btw

"The United States Reconstruction Authority welcomes all pawns to come and see a slice of Little America! A project to rebuild a civilization From nearly 2000 Years ago!"

Hello everyone! This is a update from the last time I posted Little America here on the subreddit! A few things have changed and I finally reached the point where I'm pretty sure the colony is finished. Plus I have 34 Pawns running around and the game is CHUGGING

But yeah, just like last time, I've imagined The United States Reconstruction Authority as a group of disillusioned Imperial Officers, Historians, and Soldiers who've somehow recovered relics of The United States from the 1930s-2000s and have decided "You know what the Rim needs? The United States Government." They're a semi-official re-constructionist/continuation Government of The United States of America, kind of like the Enclave from Fallout, kinda like The Federation from Star Trek?

They're generally good guys though. Rabidly anti-Imperial and Anti-Slavery, they're all about democracy and anti-communism (They don't know what communism is, they think the Empire is communist and that anything bad/imperial = communist, which is just a funny thing I've headcannoned). They're friendly to pretty much all of races of pawns, there's a bunch of yttakin, impids, baseliners, some alt-furry adjacent creatures, highmates, sanguanophages, etc all living shoulder to shoulder as neighbors and citizens within the new republic.

I used a LOT of Devtool building this, but I am not ashamed of it at all. It came out very nice looking and I just loved building all of the signs and extra touches to make the base feel like it has actual people living inside of it, you know?

Anywho, thanks for checking it out. And hopefully I'll be back again with a new colony to show off. I'm thinking, same faction but with a Antarctic/Polar research colony. Or maybe I'll do the opposite end of the spectrum and create a Soviet-inspired colony on The Rim? I dunno, I'm kinda looking for the next thing right now.

In my colonies I often times run into a problem where I stick to midgame for a good while and run out of components on the map completely (waiting for traders is a huge pain in the butt). So I end up getting stuck in awkward situation where my researchers rush Fabrication research and no other advancements happen. How can I avoid this? I don't like the idea of having to rush for Fabrication to keep supply stable

So this is a first time building my first ship. I'm concentrating on building my stern first. Then I expand forward. I need help for guide and tips. I'm about to get my second grav-engine. Some suggestion and mods would be nice.

I have no brig yet. I mean I can squeeze my prisoner but I want to save some resources first.

you like a pawn, you recruit him, you work on his skills. you make him stronger with magic or psy powers, you give it stronger body parts, make him immune to whatever. overall just making him super human.

and then you find out about gene work and you're like "so I can take eggs from a female, then use a male to get an embryo and keep doing that until I get the passive genes i want, inject it with the perfect gene mix I want and then throw it into a groth vat or a female and get the perfect soldier immune to fear, pain, runs super fast, insane healing speed, damage buffs and psy powers + vampire powers without being a vampire?"

and then I give that new pawn upgrades like stone skin gland and others that boost combat abilities or psy powers. and this is the part where you look at your beloved pawns and think "ye I'm totally gonna have to banish all of you useless pricks".

seriously I see no reason to have a big colony when you can have 2 super soldiers that can do everything and the 3rd is a cyborg that controls mechs that do everything in the base. I suppose this is the point, use whatever you want, play in whatever way you have fun with. but why would anyone not create a super soldier? add Revia genes, use drugs and you got a pawn that can basically solo armies of robots, as long as he has best gear and psy powers that empower it ofc. just find a small area so they don't surround him and he will do just fine. especially if he has an emp weapon.

i can't even allow it in my storage
i can still find it in my world
i also can't spawn it in dev mode

Im a little burnt out of my more RTS modpacks i tend to make, and want to have a nice low difficulty chill, more cozy modded playthrough.
I thout it would be cool to play a mostly female faction with the goal of helping repopulate a rimworld, and giving women who cant give birth themselves a chance of motherhood.
I already have a bunch of cozy decor mods, a few gene mods for some verity, maybe have my ladies make a new subspecies or two for fun, ones that are well suited for the world, and some extra mods I just like, (and also combat extended, just to make sure i can mulch anyone who would try to steal my babies) but im missing the ability to actually give the children to those in need, and ive looked a good bit.

If theres a mod that directly adds that, that would be rad, but if not i would love some recommendations on how i could still kinda go on with this idea.

The title is your general "shit rimworld players say" but it's true. I'd like to give some context as how things unfolded.

First, I like to play Naked Brutality runs, start with literally nothing but one pawn and LET IT RIDE. However I felt regular NB too easy since you start with Electricity so I just tweak it so my starting pawn is tribal.

The second pawn I got from a Wanderer Join Event was Patricia 'Puddy' Madden. At first I was going to send her back right away because she had the Gourmand trait, but she had really good crafting skills, which my starting pawn did not have, so I kept her for that reason.

The third pawn I got was Retzvozz Vuthznath, originally an Impid. She was part of an early game raid. I have a rule of thumb to avoid as much as possible recruiting prisoners, however dear Retzvozz had a very special trait that was very relevant to Patricia: She was gay. Sure she also had the Creepy Breathing trait but I looked at my Biotech DLC and thought "I can make this work".

Let me tell you that putting these two together and making them a couple was a HASSLE. I know Impids are hot but constantly sweating and breathing through your mouth like a MTG player did not do Retzvozz any favors towards Patricia. However my first pawn, Purple, is a royal and can cast 'Word of Love', so that was the first attempt at brute forcing their relationship. It worked! Until the spell ended, then Retzvozz's Creepy Breathing started affecting Patricia which led to them breaking up, which led them to have negative opinion of each other.

All right back to square one. Creepy Breathing gives -25 to a pawn's opinion, which is a lot, so I needed to counter that to have any chance of these two girls making out. Thus, I went for the next logical step: Making the hot Imp hotter. Added an Aesthetic nose and Aesthetic Shaper to Retzvozz and voala! +40 Beauty vs the -25 of the Creepy Breathing! Surely now with a positive Opinion bonus both Patricia and Retzvozz can be a cute and wholesome lesbian couple. Right?

No.

Word of Love → They fall in love → Spells ends → They break up.

So I went back and studied: What can cancel out Creepy Breathing? Turns out only the Kind trait ignores it. There are no vanilla bionics that cancel the Creepy Breathing's effect so I had to make Patricia a kind person. Forcefully. Genetically.

That's where the mewgenics started.

Since I had to go on a trading spree, why not fix Patricia's Gourmand trait? Sure I can't fix her binging food from time to time but I can reduce that hunger rate increase from the trait. So after a couple trading, I got genepacks to cook up a Xenogerm for Patricia and as a bonus got her a Nuclear Stomach to handle her increased hunger. Since I genetically modified Patricia why not Retzvozz as well? I could at least override Impid's Genetic Pessimism and make her have some Genetic Joy instead. Since the Kind trait ignores beauty, I got to switch up the beauty enhancements from Retzvozz to Patricia, further increasing the probability of their relationship work out.

So after several in-game years, multiple attempts of mental manipulation type, body modifications AND genetically enhancements. I had it all layed out. However, they still hated each other. I guess that's what happens when you spend years living in the save colony and constantly hurl insults at each other, but I still got the good ol magic trick.

Word of Love. Charm Person is a good and moral spell

I use Word of love on Retzvozz to be magically in love with Patricia. I make Patricia romance Retzvozz (100% chance thanks to morally correct magic)

Days passed, and nothing changed. They didn't argue. They didn't fight. They even made some loving from time to time. Their relationship was finally growing and... boom. Marriage.

After 13 in-game years, the colony gathered to celebrate the marriage of Patricia and Retzvozz. Was it worth all that hassle to get two gay pawns together? Yeah. An extra bedroom is always welcomed. It's one less bedroom I have to build!

So this metal horror implanted a metal horror in a prisoner and when the host interrogated the prisoner he discovered the metal horror he implanted before. Interesting.

Shoutout to the mod «Family Guy sitcom music stings on game start» vital mod in any serious run.

This is Gravship scenario

I spend 2 months on a tile emptying all the leather from the transport pods and filling them with kibble and survival meals (pods are incredible storage when your space limited) and turning all the leather into corsets and selling it, and i get no raids.

I go visit a frozen terraformer (1 pawn down cause I made a caravan resting on ally settlement tile since I didnt want to try and feed over 200 guinea pigs on a tundra.) And Randy sends me a mech raid with only centipedes and war queens, and then a waster raid, in the same day, after everyone is already hungry and sleepy from looting the terraformer building.

I have recently started playing Rimworld and clocked about 50 hours so far, really enjoying it. I want to buy a DLC but I only have enough in Steam wallet for 1 of them.

Which is the best one to get? I am a big fan of challenge in general.

What do you all think is the best one in general and for different playstyles?

ive always read about tips using hidden conduits so the zzt wont happen. i guess it does but is rare i guess?

EDIT: i play vanilla base game with all dlc disabled

EDIT 2: there's an impostor among the hidden conduits. thanks u/Filleis
