Rimworld Dev Tracker

High fire rates at low damage create a lot of spam in the health tab which I'd rather avoid so don't anticipate a lot of increases here.

DPS is proportional to all three: fire rate, accuracy, and damage.

Let's dial back the angry hyperbole please. It's not healthy for the community, for me, or for you.

Also I'm not sure what you're referring to given we buffed turrets and increased the prevalence of turret-vulnerable raids.

We're gonna check this to ensure it's working as intended.
It is supposed to affect both the wealth and population side.

I quit my job at Irrational Games, wrote a book about game dev, but didn't really want to go work for someone else. So I made a bunch of prototypes of games and one of them eventually became RimWorld.

Wait does that count?

I remember back when we added the 3D planet for the first time. Previously the game had used a constrained 2D map of part of the northern hemisphere, and just used the seasons to describe time passing.

Of course once you do a whole planet with southern hemisphere you can't describe time by seasons, since those seasons are different in different places and it wouldn't make sense if you moved around.

So we had to add quadrums. Which are weird. But people were so confused about them. So many complaints asking why we were using these dumb sounding made-up words instead of just seasons like before. We had to - it's geometrically required!

Heck most of the world doesn't even have the 4 named seasons really.

This kind of thing is one reason we don't recommend super-huge map sizes.

It's not just about performance - complex games can break in many, many ways!

Hey no worries, I'm always watching pretty hard for breakages after an update. We've reverted updates before when we find something that's bad enough.

But yeah, 419 mods is... a lot. I'm just proud it ever worked at all! Hopefully compatibility will settle in soon.

Can you post you log file on the Discord server so we can take a look?

Damn I was just gonna say that's an amazing match for the original style.

Glad to see Ricardo had some fun with it.

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.
