Rimworld Dev Tracker

It's not about discouraging that approach, it's about adding a variety of other approaches in addition.

As many have identified on this thread, killboxes still work great for a broad variety of threats. But, they don't work for every threat. Back when they did, the game really did get dull over time. Players would get raided and they barely even had to interact. Enemies would just file into the box and die. It was nothing but a resource delivery. And while this is rewarding in a way, it was boring to have this happen every time.

I didn't want to just make enemies stronger. It's not a tower defense game. So I made them smarter and have a wider variety of tools and strategies. So now you still get the killbox thing because it's cool, but you also get other threats to chew on for variation. And the enemies seem less idiotic.

Enemies have actually gotten weaker (and less numerous) over the years, since they no longer need the absurd st...

Yeah, some change here would seem to make sense. Thanks!

It's a good point.

Very welcome and thank you for communicating :)

Seriously, well thought out threads with useful feedback are gold to me.

I really enjoyed writing the descriptions for terrible ritual outcomes.

I lol'd but yeah it's a bit odd. Will look at this, thanks.

Or they assume they will if they don't do it first. "Enslave or be enslaved" kind of thing.

Especially in the ancient world, tribal societies, etc I can imagine this attitude being pretty widespread - possibly to the point where it's not really remarked upon, the same way we build horrific weapons all the time today.

Thank you for the feedback! I've noticed some concerns about this before so just yesterday I initiated a project to smooth out caravan mechanics.

Will definitely be taking this feedback into account for that, so thank you for writing it with such detail. This kind of thing is very useful.

You get no memes if you do a classic start.

Answered in the first line in my post above. You need to specify which atheist system of belief you're talking about.

"Atheism" is a supercategory like "religion" so it wouldn't make sense to try to find specific ideoligious beliefs for "atheism" and more than it would for "religion".

However, within the vast category of 'atheists' there are many real ideoligions.

They're fuzzier on the edges than traditional religions because they're not formalized this way (usually). But if you just look they're not hard to see.

Nationalists from America or China or many other places, LGBTQ activists and social justice warriors, communists of various stripes, radical feminists, men's rights activists, transhumanists (in the Ray Kurzweil sense), rationalists (as in the rationalsphere), environmentalists and eco-fascists all exist. Individuals mix them together to fill the hole of meaning left by religion.

In these belief structures you can always find some story about the moral structure of the universe, and generally a prophecy for the future. You can always find the rituals, symb...

We'll look at this, thanks.

This was addressed in today's unstable build update.

You're right. I'll add some value to make sense a bit, but these aren't meant to be super valuable trade items (they appear for free after all).

Yes, these are getting buffed in the next patch.

I've been collecting more balance feedback and will be dialing in various things over time. (It's better not to rush these things, I've found.)

Are you guys sure this still works on the latest patch?

We'll look into this, thanks.
