I had a look at the way WeatherOverlay creates its material, which is the MatLoader class, which requires a "path" parameter. It then appends this path to "Materials/" and casts an Object created by Resources.Load(appended_path) to a Material.
I guess my question is now, where is the "Materials/"? Is it an actual folder, or is this just a pseudo-folder system that Unity uses?
Anyways, I'll try looking at the original assets with some sort of program like you said, thanks for the suggestion.
Edit0: couldn't seem to find any legit ways to look into Unity assets.
Edit1: also just noticed that the "moveSpeedMultiplier" in WeatherDefs doesn't seem to have any effect. Is this deprecated? Edit2: I'm stupid, it does work
Materials/ is in the unity assets. I think there is software that can browse unity asset packs.
Honestly I'm not sure. Haven't worked with weather overlays for years myself. Materials are a Unity thing, so if you were to do it you'd have to do it through whatever Unity pathways exist. Maybe there's some Internet help on how to do it.

- A potential fix for a bug that can cause very slow loading of mods in some cases.
- Updated language data to latest version.
- Updated player-created names with all approved content.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can give feedback on this in the comments here or in the Ludeon forums[ludeon.com]!
The new version should be compatible with all saves and mods, except possibly a ... Read more

Someone please try this! I suspect it's better than the in-game version.

@tanyaxshort @robinhanson Of course it's fine to seek validation; it's a basic human need. I only think it's a problem if the influence of this need isn't consciously acknowledged. Acting in service of hidden urges while inventing rationalizations - this is not a recipe for optimal decision-making.
@tanyaxshort @robinhanson e.g. Spending weeks and thousands of dollars to personally exhibit to 200 people at a con is an absurd waste given you can easily reach 20,000 with a cheap Youtube vid. Yet people keep doing it because they crave the personal validation.
@tanyaxshort @robinhanson Just watching a sales number go up (if it even does that) doesn't satisfy the monkey brain. The monkey brain wants to have 20 people you recognize acknowledge your work. It explains a lot of the nonsensical decisions devs make about how to allocate their scarce time and energy.

probably a bug in that case, that's OP af
Yeah, it's a bug. I can't remember if we fixed it already.
Duct tape. That's missing in rimworld.
That would be funny. Like a special material where you can make literally anything from it - furniture, walls, guns, swords, explosives, computers.

@dukope Also fun to imagine creating such a game without a computer at all. Imagine a book of letters, photos, diaries, and other documents, together with a list of fill-in questions to answer, requiring close observation, deduction, and combination of knowledge to complete.
@Rhopunzel You need to see this!

I cannot describe this.

Please, please, PLEASE add an ironman mode so I'm not tempted to use Devmode.
Specifically, ironman would be a toggle at game start. If you have it on:
- The game is locked to Permadeath and your selected storyteller/difficulty. The options to change these in game would be grayed out.
- Development mode will never show up on that save file.
- Encrypt the save file so manual edits aren't possible.
Thanks in advance to u/TynanSylvester if this gets added!
For now I recommend you use the "permanently disable dev mode" tool in the options menu.

Fun for the whole family? Or, how to prep a generation of hardened survivors for the new world order?
Screenshots from my mercenary management sim, December 17 2012.
The code behind this was later re-used for Starship Architect prototypes, which evolved into Eclipse Colony and then RimWorld.
It's charming to note that some of this code is still running in RimWorld today.
