EDIT 2: It appears there's a lot of incompatibility between mods at the moment. Mainly this derives from a recent change in how the Harmony mod worked, which was itself compelled by a change in Unity/.NET. This broke compatibility with many other mods. Here is a full article about Harmony from its author explaining what happened.

The recommended fix for now is:

Disable the Replace Stuff mod.
Place the mods HubsLib and Harmony directly after Core/Royalty in the mod load order.

That should address most issues, but a some mods may still need to be updated over the next days.

I'm talking to modders more so we can pass along info about this kind of thing more clearly in the future.

I appreciate the rich feedback! Certainly this is just the kind of thing I'm looking to tune going forward. It's a new gameplay concept and we did lots of balancing and adjusting pre-release but with more players come more data.

They are supposed to be difficult and to require new strategies. I think they're hitting these marks, but I don't want them to feel unfair (that said, nor should they always be defeatible without losses, at least above builder difficulty).

We're further adjusting how clusters choose where to spawn, because you're right some of them were spawning on top of things they shouldn't (or even indoors). The next hotfix, and probably another next week, will have adjustments on these fronts.

After that's done and the metagame matures a bit I'll be looking at other adjustments, but I don't want to move too fast and end up "thrashing" with the design.

Try looking in Steam/Steamapps/music on the directory it's installed in. T hat's where mine is.

I did do some basic testing on Mac but am not a regular user, we did have a mac tester but bugs from Mac OS are very welcome by the dev team since testing is always lighter on macs.

Fair enough, will look at addressing this in a patch.

Unstable is where we test hotfixes before putting them on default. It's always newer than default, but of course, it can be unstable. So your game might break.

It's not possible aside from death (and then the title gets inherited!)

I'm curious why you want to demote your pawn?

I know that it's probably too late to make such a major change, but I also really hate the way noble colonists are handled. I find it immersion breaking for the reasons /u/Zupercharged already mentioned, and also because most players (myself included) dislike mood debuffs that feel arbitrary or unfair.

I personally think it would have made more sense to penalize psychic power users. For example, perhaps the psychic powers give them a weak constitution which makes them become ill if they aren't fed good food, and perhaps they have to recharge their power on an item that's the equivalent of the throne, or maybe psychic power makes them go crazy so they exhibit odd behaviors with random mental breaks.

It might seem nitpicky but for me, logical consistency is very important. The behavior of the noble pawns is downright bizarre considering the rough, almost apocalyptic setting. And having more tangible consequences seems like a good th...

I appreciate the meaningful feedback.

RW has always had an absurdist humor thread to it, juxtaposed with amoral hardscrabble survivalism. Royalty leans more on the former, it is true, and I can imagine for individuals who are drawn to the survival feeling it wouldn't be as satisfying as it could be.

I want to remind people that this thread is for discussion of Royalty and 1.1 gameplay and I will be enforcing this. I will discuss with Tynan a new message board for Royalty.

You could just give your colonists nuclear stomachs. I hear the cancer side effects aren't -that- bad.

This is a megathread open for discussing the DLC and the recent update, your thoughts on it, the future of RimWorld, and Ludeon Studios.

Remember we do have rules that are not the same as Steam's baseline rules. As a new mod, I'd rather not have to start banning people just yet. You can read the rules here.

https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=40838.0

I will merge new posts in to this one on a case by case basis in an effort to contain the amount of newly created threads.

This is a thread to try and congregate questions about the DLC gameplay in to one location. Please limit discussion in this thread to features of the DLC only. A separate megathread will be opened for general discussion about the DLC.

I will attempt to merge new posts with DLC questions in to this thread to help with clutter.

This game was built with the idea that losing is fun, part of the drama. If you play on Randy Random you will definitely get frustrating, unfair events. There's no shame in playing on Basebuilder or Phoebe Chillax if you want to just basebuild though, back in the early alpha days that was what I tested the game on.
