Pfft.  Your own guys suffer for it.  I mean sure, you could be nice to everyone, even the ones that want to kill you.  Or you can harvest the organs of your enemies to sell on the black market, grind what's left up into warg and prisoner food, and use the profits to buy a tv in every bedroom.

Clearly you see the responsible thing to do.

Buy the TV's with proceeds from my massive Cocoa and Sugar plantation?

But seriously, Cocoa, Sugar and Coffee. Although I play with the harvest mod, so I'm not sure what's vanilla anymore.

None of those are vanilla. Also, none of those are vanilla :P.

Where things live that aren't so different from you, but you will never live to touch them and they will never live to touch you.

You can supplement your income with cocoa to buy stuff from traders. But the Great Old Ones demand blood, and lots of it.  Best use for prisoners imo

A17 is here! Good time to be reminded what vanilla or only-slightly-modded rimworld feels like.

I guess it's time to try to make my "Psychotic Imperialistic Amazons (aka women-only, psychopath-only, and no tribal recruits, or even simple trade with them)". Hospitality mod is not yet updated for A17, and that's kinda terrible. It's really hard to get good recruits in vanilla, hell, it's still kinda hard with Hospitality. But Hospitality helps a lot with the recruitment, and also makes Social skill more useful. Maybe I'll try to use scenario editor to give myself a small chance of people being psychopaths. Wish me a good luck, folks!

Much less active than I used to be on these forums, but I still visit them on occasion. Will probably resume my activity in full once Dwarf Fortress will be released on Steam.

So, what's the main thrust of this update, anyway?
Might give it a try at some point. Current colony is kind of stagnating as I wait for my people to finally finish building the huge motel building I ordered built to better house my guests. I haven't been playing Rimworld much at all for quite some time, partially because having two sites makes my computer chug and yet I am reluctant to abandon my old one forever. :-\

Main thrust appears to be road and river generation, both on the overworld and local map. Caravans presumably can travel on the overworld faster along a road, and if you embark on one, it's basically free stone blocks. The start of a quest system is also in place. Most importantly, a new hat: the bowler hat.

 Yes, they do move faster on roads. However, standard stone roads dont give stone when taking them apart, thanks to flagstones. However, asphalt roads are free steel from all the concrete blocks and lampposts.

Ooh, sounds interesting!
Soon as Hospitality gets updated I will probably make some sort of roadhouse/travel lodge/inn. For now thought I might let the game update and check out some rivers.

Bought the game and finished the tutorial. Or at least did all the stuff until it said I was ready for actually playing the game.
I kind of know the basics now, as it didn't seem to be very difficult to learn.

My question is.. Anyone know of any mods that are interesting but still beginner friendly?
Modding might seem quite early for someone who just bought the game, but I'd like some interesting.. things.. Whatever they may be.

Harvest Mod?

It adds like 20 new plants, and a bunch of new ways to cook them. Doesn't stop you from cooking 1bil simple meals, but it's nice to have stocks of bread, and flour, and cookies and cornbread and such.

 Thought it was the vegetable garden mod that did that. Might be both...

Started a new colony, with mostly useless starting colonists for the true Rimworld experience.
I noticed a new option on the health screen: an option to toggle "self-treat". I'm sure this will lead to much hilarity.
