I didn't go through Steam, I went through GOG. Also since installing Royal DLC I now get the Debug Log window popping open every time I start the game. I like the DLC okay, enjoy the quests and such, just not the royalty aspect of it and how it divides the colonist. I just play the quests avoiding the royal ranking rewards or ignore them completely if they are going to give a colonist ranking.

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback.

When they get to a certain level, and demand things it constantly makes me roll my eyes at them when conditions aren't being met, dont get me wrong i love the game play, but its more of a feeling of, why are you like this haha my post isnt meant as a complaint, more of a Joke.

Got it, thanks :)

Do you just mean they want a throneroom and nice bedroom? Or something else? I'm just curious.

They demand a lot if they're greedy/jealous, but should be pretty chill otherwise.

Very strange! Could be a corrupted install too; it may be best just to delete the game files and let Steam re-download them. Steam corrupts files sometimes.

If you went to #troubleshooting in discord.gg/rimworld you could definitely get some help, especially if you could post your log file.

I'm curious - why?

I just discovered Rimworld and like most on here, I'm addicted. I bought it 5 days ago and logged 85 hrs already (good thing I'm quarantined. My girlfriend hates you by the way, lol. Yes, I wanted more and bought Royalty yesterday. I liked the quests starting out early and the minor help with possibility of adding colonists. I was letting the royal experience happen and picked one of my favorite colonists for the rep and first title. Then I started realizing I was losing some control over them, couldn't draft them into a group and they were trying to command the animals. They have their weapon but it doesn't show on their box and I can't make them use it. They have abilities but don't use them because they won't let me draft them into a fighting squad or even singly. This instantly became a huge annoyance. What is the purpose of designing a game where you are trying to get a group of survivors working together then turn one into a walking conflict that's just going to be ...

Thanks for the props :)

What you're describing isn't part of the game. Sounds like a bug in one of your mods is breaking something, you could go to the RimWorld Discord troubleshooting channel to get help with that.

Quick check:

My savegame is compatible.

No mods broke as 2 minutes check can answer this.

Yeah, good job.

Whew!

We've released the May 2020 update for RimWorld!

This update is still on version 1.1, because it should be compatible with savegames and mods. If for any reason you have trouble, you can set your Steam beta branch to 'version-1.1.2624' to keep playing on the previous version.



This update has improvements affecting the base game and the Royalty expansion, though since Royalty is much less mature (3 months vs 6 years), it's what got major focus on the content side. This update is the add-on we promised back on March 2.

The big theme of this update was opening up new play paths so you can take on the game's world in whatever way you like, and the game will respond in a way ... Read more

Believe it or not, there once was a mega sloth in North America that humans may have actually met (depending on the margin of when it died out and when humans came to America). Thomas Jefferson had a set of paw bones of one, and (not knowing what it was) instructed lewis and Clark to be on the lookout for a very large lion creature on their journey.

Yes, this is the animal that's in the game. Its real name is megatherium.

As I recall the leading hypothesis was it that it was humans who killed them (along with all the other animals in the Americas bigger than a buffalo), so they definitely met. This was based on there being a steady population of megatheria for millions of years and then all suddenly vanishing at the same time after the aboriginals arrived. Here's a list of them:

Incidentally, all of these propereties except Dune took very clear inspiration from Dune (as well as each other) in many ways. The OP is really good old Frank H.

Interesting. In every post I'd seen up to this point there was no mention of a percentage chance of meat rotting, it was just corpses turning rotten and thats it. I still don't like the changes, but reading that the percentage chance is different based on difficulty is at least heartening. A way to negate the rotting through something like a launcher, grenade , or mortar shell that spreads either a cure for the disease or just prevents rotting would be something I'd suggest for vanilla.

And as for deep drilling, since I don't play on savage/merciless, my main sources of plasteel have been deep drilling and the long range mineral scanner. Jade is also a long range scanner resource. Gold I typically get enough of from quest rewards and trading and the deep drills. One mod I would suggest you consider integrating into the base game is deep ore identification so that when the deep ores are visible, hovering over them shows exactly what mineral is under that square.

You can actually technically negate the scaria effect; if you down the animal and then cure it (the operation is cheap), it might join you or it might not. In either case you can safely slaughter it for meat then.

I intend to make deep resources more readable. I haven't seen the mod you mentioned specifically but it's something that's pretty obviously needed.

I appreciate the healthy engagement! Cheers.

Would you consider a low effort corpse clean up solution in light of this change. Standard cremation has a very bad work/gain ratio here especially considering the hauling involved.

A corpse bonfire building. Fast construction requires x wood or chemfuel and 10 any corpse. It would be really cool if it would somehow be possible to have multiple pawns 'deliver to construction' at the same time for this, tough probably not possible.. Bonus points if you add minor bad thought (watched burning corpses -2) and intermediate/major good ones for bloodlust/pyro. Especially pyro, cause.. needs more incentive. Thinking about this, do pyros actually get "'burning' passion for my work" when cremating??

You can make a corpse bonfire, just throw some molotov c*cktails at them :)

But yeah, I may speed up cremation.

You can of course just haul them away to a random pile somewhere and leave them to deteriorate to nothing.

do pyros actually get "'burning' passion for my work" when cremating??

No, but that would be great. I'd probably make it a different thought for clarity.
