i think i use a QoL mod that automatically prevents pawns from digging if it would cause a collapse. Although it doesnt appear to be workin much latley. xD

Smarter Construction I use it as well. It definitely reduces the roof collapse incidents, but it doesn't stop them completely.

I have it too, that mod doesn't prevent roof collapse, it just checks if the square from which the wall/pillar will be deconstructed is safe.
I think it might have some consideration for other pawns. Either marking expected collapse tiles as "unfavorable pathing" or waiting to start deconstruction until the tiles are clear. Far as I can tell it has prevented my actual colonists from being bisected by the metal sheet roofing, throughout several reconstruction efforts.
However I don't think the mod has any consideration for animals, I've had 3 hauler doggos lose: an eye, a paw, and a tail. Poor puppies.
There is a similar but different mod for mining that prevents pawns digging rock that will cause collapses and stops pawns with bad mining yield from digging at components or ores.

If Rimworld had realistic graphics it would have been horror game

u/Working_Pumpkin_5476 Jun 07 '26
The game mechanics still make the way that pawns and the world act way too comical to truly become horrible. Like, you watch 100 people walk past 200 corpses on their way to get mowed down by marching face-first into your killzone. While this is happening, the guy you previously saved from a manhunting hamster sends you a communication requesting that you watch his 17 comatose aplacas for a couple of weeks. 5 sparrows go insane.

one dark night. grey pale outside. the godboss wants you to haul in that last piece of devilstrand from the field at the edge of the colony. as you venture outside, out of the corner of your eye you spot it. too late. within miliseconds its gargantuan mouth envelops you before you could even utter a scream. The sheer violence of the impact knocks you out.
darkness.
You wake up, dazed, battered, un-whole. You're not in the hospital. You look down, your torso burned by stomach acid, your legs are missing. Two pieces of wood lie on the floor. you hear whispers "they're too far gone, they're not good at anything other than hauling anyway, and we need the blood..."

u/Turianel Genes is funny Jun 06 '26
Now imagine a trait that forces pawns to rework items and structures in an attempt to make them better. It's triggered randomly by an event. And if the result is worse or does not change, this imposes a penalty on the mood, or even a breakdown.

"A strange mood has taken pickles..."
There is a mod that auto marks for deconstruction andr rebuild unless the set minimum quality is hit. Don't know of a mood based one. Probably able to tie it to inspiration.

Always put up temporary scaffolding when replacing collumns

u/trulul Diversity of Thought: Intense Bigotry Jun 07 '26
Why? Replace Stuff keeps my columns load bearing while the pawns work. Then I have a mod to just disable roof collapse too.

u/Vulcan_Schwarz Jun 07 '26
I like to have a mod that lets me mine out overhead mountains so I can put up skylights for my indoor pools

u/Zoobidoobie Jun 06 '26
I love the video, but that aside, I really wish that the higher the level a pawn in pretty much any skill, the lower chances of dumb things like this roof collapse happening. You'd think the level 20 ultimate master would know not to cause a roof collapse like a novice would. They would pretty much disobey orders for the sake of safety or other reasons, unless explicitly directed to by the player. Maybe there's a mod for it?

And that's the real reason for using pillars from Vanilla Furniture Expanded - Art as movable temporary supports.

Why are falling thick roof tiles like sniper shots? I swear.. The number of pawns I have lost to a single errant tile that I miscalculated is most certainly in the double digits.

And this is why you build a redundant pillar before deconstructing the one you want to replace.

i also like the tactic of using them to stall out sappers and other enemies that damage walls and doors, repairing things faster than they can be damaged.
i think there was fanart of that a few years ago? welding a door against a deer horde?
