There really needs to be a settlement between Hangman's Alley and Jamaica Plains. The hike between the two is straight through central Boston and it's a nightmare on Survival mode. Gunners, Raiders, Ghouls, Super Mutants and more all waiting to pop out and send me back to my bed.

I think Boston Common would be a great spot for a settlement. Just clear Swan and it's got everything you could want!

There's a mod that adds a settlement called Evan's Way, near that raider outpost close to Diamond City in the cul-de-sac. It's packaged in a pretty cool collection of added settlements now.

Almost none and only using ~400MB of ram! The new versions work really well with shaders and HD resource packs, plus it's vanilla Minecraft so no performance eating mods.

Currently checking out the base, it looks pretty cool! Not really getting a Rapture vibe yet, it seems more like a Enclave sea rig. I don't know what to do so I'm strip mining to the north.

Good job you guys, it looks pretty cool

There's something strange about this build graphically, I think it's messing with my AMD card (next card is definitely going to be an Nvidia). If I resize windows the game crashes, if I start full-screen, the game crashes. When I'm trying to embark, and press 'e' the game crashes. Lots of crashes when saving during worldgen too. 

edit: also resizing windows during play causes crashes

This game is actually pretty good right now, but I'm not really feeling it at the moment because it feels too cartoony/arcadey. Mainly every day you get a chance of getting a new citizen based on your score for the day. If you do shitty, no citizens and since they don't breed, your population stagnates. Your days aren't really free, you're bound to do better than you did the day before or else your population will be too small to stand up to the monsters that increase day by day.

It's kinda weird that Starbound v1.0 feels real similar to the early alpha builds of Starbound, the one with temperature, comfort and hunger mechanics. Only now the combat system is a LOT better, and your attacks actually have a bit of weight to them. The whole tech progression system got a bit a revamp which is something I like too, hello inventors bench!

There's a mod on the forums that adds a new Storyteller that's centered around farming/base building. It'll still eventually send baddies your way, but gradually enough that you don't feel rushed to focus on defense everything else be damned. My main beef with the default game right now is that it's not really RimWorld so much as RimTowerDefence

I'm playing an Ironman game and discovered that the AI is pretty buggy when it comes to huge empires that are mostly sectored. AI only bothered to try and conquer my core worlds, so I just waited 20 years (!!!) and used far off planets that I got from integrating observed pre-ftl species to build navy after navy which I then lost to the invaders. Eventually I could white peace because the war went on for too long. They invaded twice before I just switched from monarchy to democracy and they quit invading. Stopped playing now, because I have over 800 pops and the game is just too damn slow.

TLDR; use sectors liberally and sprawl is good!
