I think the man-hunter pack changes were badly needed. I ended up with 100 megasloth corpses in my freezer in my last playthrough, which was ridiculous.

It doesn't solve the problem of them being trivial to defeat from mid-game on, however. Being melee they are trivial when they attack from the edge of the map, once the player has enough concentrated firepower and a perimeter wall. They are, though, one of the most fun events earlier in the game.

One suggestion to make them more interesting: have a hostile faction infect a pack to make them man-hunter then drop-pod them in the middle of your base.

Also, maybe increase the frequency of boomrat packs as they are, in my experience, by far the most difficult to defeat, being fast, hard to shoot and not suitable for fighting hand to hand. Alternatively introduce other animal types which are similarly challenging, for whatever reason.

Thank you for the link, I’ll join the Discord for sure. And seriously thank you for all the continued work on updates and patches. It’s great how you listen to the community but still make your own decisions and surprise us with new content like this, instead of just tweaking some numbers for balance.

Nature shrines needing to be far away from structures really made me rethink base design and defences. My little tribe kept getting their shrine destroyed by raiders, had to build pathways and defensive structures all over the map to intercept raids and prevent this. Makes for a good story and more interesting than just building a box around the whole thing.

Good that you're working on the game so constantly still, you have my respect for hanging in there. I loved the bulk crafting, extravagant clothing, nobility progress, the more realistic sandbags and the new quest system (especially more quests on the map and not the caravanning spam of old RimWorld quests) of the Royalty update. I also agreed with the mech/drill rebalance, and I'll see how I feel about the meat delivery nerf in time.

However, what I really didn't like was making the Empire the enemies of the civil factions, maybe a warning if there are no hostiles for them to fight instead (maybe mention that they are neutral to civil factions if they're on the map too)? Fighting the civil factions if often a conscious choice, and the Rim is rife with factions hostile to each other already. Alternatively maybe a toggle in the game setup for whether they're to be hostile to the civil factions or not?

Also, sorry about the derailing, but could we have an update on th...

I recently had three manhunter packs in a short period of time. Two naturally occuring and one as the result of a royal quest. Elephants, bears, and panthers. About 50 in each. I didn't need to turn on my turrets or melee block. No one was injured. It's a large (30 colonists), high wealth (over 1M) colony. But my freezer is so full of meat and carcasses that i immediately slaughtered my herd of fifteen yaks, because I will never need their milk now.

So the change makes sense. I am curious how it is implemented. Do all manhunter corpses automatically rot, or is it a percentage chance? Does the chance scale with the size of the pack. I am thinking about the times playing naked brutality when the first event is a manhunting racoon that I have to fight off batehanded or with a poor quality shortbow if I'm lucky.

As for the change where I can no longer strip downed allies of their clothing and kick them out of their hospital bed as soon as they are barely able to walk wi...

Glowy tree neat.

But there are so many changes, asuming most/all of it makes it into the next stable release, that it feels like it should be 1.2 instead. The Psyfocus changes are DRASTIC to say the least, the manhunter pack nerf is just sort of another slap in the face in the vein of "oh you guys found a way to turn a mechanic into an advantage? STOP HAVING FUN RIGHT NOW!" like the mech assembler and mech disassembly nerfs were. They keep limiting our options.

Now with manhunters, there will be little point but to lock the doors and stay inside for two days because there is literally no payoff for facing them if you have the option to not bother with them.

I know I sure as f**k wont be bothering with the next 75 Megasloth manhunter pack that spawns on my map if I won't get a single unit of meat or heavy fur. They can run around outside. I've got 35 days of food stocked up at all times, two days is nothing.

And then what about a newer base? Manh...

I have my suspicions about what it might be. I got alot of assassination requests, which I think, upon looking into them, may be actually added by real ruins. I think that they never went away may have capped out the quest system somehow? Though it happened before in another save around year seven or so. I think it just doesn't like to handle my stubborn ass refusing to leave the planet.

What a f**king blessing seeing as i just gave everyone in my glittercolony one for shits and giggles, and now they all need to meditate all the time, thanks tynan

Yeah, in the same boat. After a few years I never seem to get anymore quests generating. Hopefully the psy system wasn't changed because I posted my character with over 1k entrophy limit.

I'll have to capture an empire member and see if polaris bloc can still remove amplifiers via "remove implant".

No problem. I went through my floor mods one by one to see which were causing issues and which were not and then compared the difference in defs. Found out about tilled soil not having a resource cost. After adding one the error seized

How to reproduce:

1. Subscribe to the "tilled soil" mod and start rimworld

2. Go to mods, disable all mods(dont disable core and dlc) and only enable tilled soil

3. Restart Rimworld and start a new clean game

4. Open debug actions

5. Select: Generate Quests x30

6. Select: BuildMonument_TimeProtect

7. Select whatever value

8. The following error will be generated:

Exception running QuestNode_GetMonumentRequiredResourcesString: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object at RimWorld.QuestGen.QuestNode_GetM...

Hey, are you using Tilled Soil by any chance? I had this issue yesterday and found out it was being caused by tiles and walls not having a build resource cost, as was the case with tilled soil. I've reported it to the mod developer.

If you want to get rid of this bug, disable those mods or add a cost value to their defs.

A more realistic way would be to calculate temperature per square instead of per room. That way, breaking a wall wouldn't immediately make the room safe, and standing close to a fire outside would be more dangerous. Maybe too much computation?
