Hello all, welcome to the new colony.

Thought it would be great to have a wee thread looking at tips and tricks we use when playing the game. For example, Cactii have the best wood per growth ratio of any farmable tree, making them the most productive forestry.

I've always loved the ideas VE brings to the game, but the balance can get questionable. More than once I've started a playthrough to find the new VFE mod that just released is more problematic than its worth. If you use the VE suite, are there any you avoid? I'm looking to start a new modded playthrough soon, but it's been a while and I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts.

Recently I bought a new laptop which can run tons of mods without problem. A few years ago (before the ideology update) there was some panic that the new updates will break existing mods and the contributors won't keep up. Are mods working in 2023 or did a big percentage of them stop working after ideology or biotech?

Had this happen to me a few days ago and searched for a good while with no fix. Turns out it a mod-issue with performance fish with large modloads. Go to PF mod options, search for "WorkGiver_DoBillOptimization" and uncheck the 3 boxes beneath it.

New-ish to RW and loving the amazing mod scene. What are some mods that aren't likely to be on anyone's top 10 list but you love?

Notes mostly for myself when I decide to start playing Rimworld again. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2894425236 - Part 4 Don't forget to check out the linked [Excel](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12mAva1anZribuz6PmNoTJvTq5AdgarPyiB1cd1pFsMg/edit#gid=0)

Beat it on Losing Is Fun difficulty, took a good 21 in game years, and ~3.5 days IRL play time, 107 Raids, and 178 major threats. Was it worth it? I don't know, but I won't be doing it again... Also ignore the early wealth drop, we don't talk about the early wealth drop...

I'm starting to transfer my Rimworld post from Reddit to Lemmy and will close down by Reddit account soon. So I'll start with this pic I took in one of my favorite playthroughs. It started as a military base with tech limited to industrial and slowly evolved into a zombie game (thx to the [zombieland mod](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=928376710) which I added later on)

A little motel from my military base playthrough. A murder recently happened in one of the rooms. Can you find out what happened?

Anyone else plan out the whole base super early or you just build organically? I can't sleep until I know where everyone room is going to go. My first time playing 275x275, always played 325+ with large pops but tired of the late game slideshow ruining my save.

This small cabin is located in the north west of my military base map. Due to some disturbing rumors among the locals I try to avoid that region.

It is meant as a replacement for reddit.com/r/RimWorldPorn

In the west of my military base a local biker gang has established a profitable smokeleaf business operating in the shadows of their bar.

Someone on reddit recommended pretty early, that my map would be a nice playground for the zombie apocalypse. So at a point later in the game I've added the [Zombieland](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=928376710) Mod. In this image you can see the outcome. And he was right, this was a lot of fun!

Hello all, I wanted to take the opportunity to share a mod-list that I have been using for my current playthrough (186 in total). For the most part, it adds a lot of QOL improvements and expands on the vanilla experience. It also includes many mods that change the difficulty, making some things easier and others harder. Overall I believe it is pretty well balanced. Takes about 4-5 mins to load the game with no errors. Hope you enjoy!

So this is the full map for the images I've posted these last days. So you kinda get an overview of where all the little scenes took place. Zoom in recommended :)

Naked Brutality and a colonist with 0 skills is a slowwwww start. Randy Random Losing is Fun.

Reposted, sorry for the old host, hopefully this one is better?

Sorry for last post, anyone know better site for webm hosting now that gfycat is shutting down?

I've played this game since it first came out and I fell in love with it. The game has improved so much over the years and anytime you don't like something you can bet your ass there is a mod for it. "Does it work with combat extended?" Being the question that has come up for many mods over the years, yet I never actually tried combat extended. No idea where I was going with this post but I enjoy the game and wondered what others enjoy about it

After 6 years I have finally achieved a semblance of stability and can start fixing my disabled pawns.

Hey [!rimworld@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/c/rimworld). I'm getting a specific error in the console and I'm not sure what could have caused it. It seems to be related to the music player, but I haven't added any mods that alter the in-game music (to my knowledge). This is the error that is generating repeatedly: ``` Root level exception in Update(): System.InvalidCastException: Specified cast is not valid. at (wrapper dynamic-method) RimWorld.MusicManagerPlay.RimWorld.MusicManagerPlay.MusicUpdate_Patch0(RimWorld.MusicManagerPlay) at (wrapper dynamic-method) Verse.Root_Play.Verse.Root_Play.Update_Patch1(Verse.Root_Play) UnityEngine.StackTraceUtility:ExtractStackTrace () (wrapper dynamic-method) Verse.Log:Verse.Log.Error_Patch3 (string) (wrapper dynamic-method) Verse.Root_Play:Verse.Root_Play.Update_Patch1 (Verse.Root_Play) ``` Hugslib file is located [here](https://gist.github.com/HugsLibRecordKeeper/923b6fbea632e9ea82e21c05caf7f2d8). I have troubleshot some mod conflicts before but this one has me stumped. I've tried looking through the XML extensions patches but I don't see anything related to this in there.

Suddenly the wild muffalo and the blood was just kind of there. And I don't know if i want to know what happened.

With automatic quality adjustment it is now much easier to generate renders ready for posting on RimWorldPorn@rimworld.gallery

I have played the most with Cassandra Classic. The other lady is nice too! I've heard that Randy Random is the true GOD in this game though, and many swear in his name!😂

I'm looking for some smaller mods that I have never played before. Are there any you use that are not popular?

Colonists often have pre-existing relatives that are out there in the world somewhere, but this is hardly ever relevant except when your colonist gets a debuff because their great-grandson they never met died half way across the map, or worse, when their own relatives raid you and you end up killing them. I mean, sure you can go out of your way to recruit them but it's not really worth it. Are there any mods that improve/expand on that a bit? Like maybe the colonists have quests to rescue their relatives, or have their relatives not attack them, or idk, anything that makes it have more impact than a random debuff.

Little Miss Gray over here was a refugee we took in. Then everyone else in the colony died of the plague, except for the slave. Then she "betrays" us and rebells... against the guy she had already enslaved? And just destroys the whole base for no reason, sets a bunch of electronics on fire, and dies of heatstroke. Some notes: - Man in Black not pictured because he burned to a crisp. - The guy in bed was rescued from a crashed pod, i healed him with what little medicine we had because he had good stats, only to realise he had a luciferium addiction.

A while back, my brother and I tried out a colony with the multiplayer mod, but it didn't really work very well. We never really got past the first few in-game days because it didn't seem like there was enough to do to keep two people engaged, so either one person was handling everything while the other sat around, or we were stepping on top of each other. I'm thinking of trying it again but with a multi-colony setup where we can each do our own thing, but still be able to assist the other when needed with combat support or exchanging resources/colonists and whatnot. I'm still a little concerned that it wouldn't be that much different from playing our own singleplayer games in parallel. Anyone got any good ideas or tips for setting up an enjoyable multiplayer game?


For years I've been looking for a mod that does a simple thing - showing the resources needed for all placed construction blueprints, ideally in parenthesis on the vanilla resource list next to the corresponding resource.\ \ I'm tired of selecting all the placed floor tiles and then multiplying it by the number of resources per tile by hand. Especially because you can only select a limited number of entities at once. You have to fiddle around with the camera to section of portions of your blueprints if they exceed this limitation. It would save a lot of hassle for larger builds if the number of resources in construction or production queue would be visible at a glance.\ \ Additionally the aproximate amount of days your food will last should also visible on the resource list.
