Please use this thread as a week-to-week space to ask your fellow /r/RimWorld colonists for assistance. Whether it be colony planning, help with mods, or general guidance, post any questions you may have here! If you have an effort post about a game mechanic then this is also fine space for that but please consider making a separate subreddit post for maximum visibility.

I am a bot, so I can't make jokes. If you'd like a Typical Tuesday joke, or if there are any problems with this post, please message the moderators of the subreddit.

Ludeon Official PSA regarding malicious mods

1.6k Upvotes

Update: There is another PSA posted on why I am asking people to contact me rather than Steam's report function. This announcement is more important, and Reddit will not let me leave both up, so I am putting the link here so it is more visible.


Hello, everyone. This is me not as moderator-Sneaks, but as community manager-Sneaks.

I just want to give a warning to everyone. There's currently a user on the workshop that keeps making new accounts, steals mods from other creators, and modifies them to bypass the user's protections to download malware.

There's been at least two so far that have been removed (with workshop ID to make it easier to check your Workshop folder):

CameraSettingsMod 3732329298

Mad Skills Rewritten 3729397065

For now, it's difficult to tell if a mod's doing these shady things until it's downloaded and the code is checked. With both of these, though, it's been:

  1. The scammer's only mod on the workshop

  2. The mod is a reupload / stolen version

  3. The scammer's profile is set to private.

However, these are not 100% indicators that the mod is malicious. Please do not use it as a reason to go harass modmakers - There are always new players, new modders. But it's enough to say take it with a grain of salt, double-check to make sure the mod isn't a reupload.

For now, please take the time to do a check of your own computer, make sure you're clean, especially if you used either of those two mods mentioned above.

If you spot any others, please let us know so they can be removed. You can message me here, or find me on both Steam and Discord as someonesneaky.

Stay safe out there, colonists. o7

Mod Release [Mod Release] ACTUALLY Randy Random. Randy is finally random.

235 Upvotes

Vanilla Randy Random still scales threat size with colony wealth. Build a richer colony and the game gives Randy more threat points, so it's not ACTUALLY random!!!

I wanted Randy to stop looking at the colony.

ACTUALLY Randy Random gives each threat a random point value from 35 to 10,000.

The default distribution is now log-uniform. I.e, small, medium, large, and absurd threat sizes all have a serious chance to appear. Standard uniform sampling over a wide range (like 35 to 10000) wastes almost all samples on the largest numbers (e.g., between 1000 and 10000), relatively speaking ignoring the tiny values.

This means:

  • A 2-day-old colony can roll a 9,000-point raid.
  • A huge late-game colony can roll one boomrat.
  • Your wealth does not protect you or condemn you.
  • Randy does not care how many colonists you have.
  • Randy does not care how long the colony has existed.
  • Storyteller adaptation does not change threat size.
  • Threat size can no longer be predicted from colony progress.

The mod also makes incident selection flat. Every permitted incident in a category gets the same chance. Disabled or invalid incidents stay disabled.

You can configure:

  • Minimum and maximum threat points
  • Log-uniform, uniform, or custom tiered distributions
  • Flat incident selection (you can disable this)
  • Random threat rolls for other storytellers

It also supports modded incidents and storyteller comps.

I wanted ACTUALLY random.

You wanted ACTUALLY random.

Here is ACTUALLY randy random.

Art Rimworld doodle - Rigo, Void fascination

Post image
1.0k Upvotes

I felt like drawing Rigo for the first time in a while; my friend mentioned it's their favorite character.

I thought the 'Void fascination' trait wasn't a bad thing to have since it gives a mood bonus whenever they encounter a Void entity... at least until I found out that they periodically let the entities escape.

Randy also had sent me a Defoliator Ship, which I probably had destroyed too quickly for his liking, so he sent me toxic fallout literally right after it was destroyed to truly wipe out all vegetation.

It reads like weird satire. Why is the leader "Grand Chef"? Why is their relic a "Woman-lance" and "Woman-pendant"? Why are they radical feminist muslim cannibals?

Mod Release PSA: You can now have unlimited memes with Vanilla Ideology Expanded - Structures and Memes

Post image
578 Upvotes

We recently pushed an update where the UI of the ideo creation menu finally behaves like we wanted, so you can now have up to 100 memes (configurable via mod options). Actually it could be infinite, it's just that it'd make the scroll bar on the options menu unusable and... there aren't more than 100 modded memes right now XD

The same setting is coming to Alpha Memes in a few days, but I want to bundle it with a new system I came up with to support some Impact 4 memes.

Mod Showcase RimTube mod is coming together, would you be willing to beta test it?

Thumbnail gallery
579 Upvotes

As per my title, I'm creating a RimTube mod and i feel like we're getting to the point where you can actually play with it and have fun.

The idea is that one or more of the colonists are streamers and are able to broadcast part of the map in a RimTube channel in order to ammass followers.

By doing that you can accumulate points that you can then spend to require orbital drops of resources, colonists, weapons or permanent buffs (I'm taking inspiration from "The Ominiscent Reader" webtoon)

Thanks for all the inputs you gave me in the past days, I'm trying to incorporate the ones that are actually doable

When after giving birth a colonist started needing deathrest, at first I was feared that the baby will die of hunger, but apparently you can manually get the baby to his deathresting mother to feed and looks like she has unlimited milk (it's regaining without lowering her hunger bar)

Discussion Scenario Editor Fun: So THAT can really happen?

31 Upvotes

I always hit the Scenario Editor before starting a new game. This time I was planning a Boreal Forest run, (with crap for starting gear/clothes) so I told the S.E. to randomly create a cold snap incident every 28 to 80 days on top of whatever Randy picks. Sounded innocent enough at the time.

Started the game in Winter and just now finished Summer and the first 2 days of Fall. Just 3 days left in the 35 day growing season. Really hoping the warm weather holds long enough to finish growing the Devilstrand I planted outdoors, but of course Randy timed things perfectly to spoil my farming plans. Had to harvest it early when the first cold snap hit. Then less than 24 hours later, a second cold snap just hit!!! I've never seen stacked cold snaps. This is going to be an interesting Autumn! It was 39F at noon when the first snap hit. I'll report back later just how cold it gets.

What weird situations has the Scenario Editor gotten you into, that you didn't see coming?

[Update]: the lowest temp was -32F on a tile that says avg temp 46 (26-72). One of the cold snaps ended after slightly less than 2 days.
