I was told Rimworld will never be on sale because the dev is autistic. Is this true?

He thinks the value is what it's worth and that sales would be unfair to the people who have already paid that price for the game.

That said, if you're really too poor to afford the sticker price I'll sort you a copy. pm me.

That would explain a bit of other things.

rimworld is boring

onleavedontatme · Thu Jan 05, 2017 5:22 am

I reached the end game and it seems to consist of tabbing out while waiting for raids to die in my death hallway or traders to show up so I can buy enough plasteel to finally escape. Maybe I'll try dorf fort now.

Post by **oranges** » Thu Jan 05, 2017 7:24 am #240941

You should have the difficulty right up to maximum so you don't ever reach the late game.

Also avoid using kill boxes too much

onleavedontatme · Thu Jan 05, 2017 8:01 pm

Yeah, you can't really afford to fight the enemy head on because

Your guys:
-Take ages to train
-Cause mood penalties when they die
-Are small in number
-Are very fragile
-Generally fulfill important roles that nobody else does very well because each guy can only do 2-3 things well, and likely flat out refuses to do several things.
-I get emotionally attached to because I'm dumb

Their guys:
-Outnumber you in a wave
-Often are better armed than you
-Are completely expendable because their faction doesn't care about food/mood/doctoring/population etc, there will always be another bigger wave afterwards, so they tend to just rush head on

I enjoyed the sieges, early small skirmish firefights and poison ship parts because it gave me time to plan and do other things than "hope I am sending enough bullets in their direction before the human wave of badguys that outnumber me 3-1 start beating people to death"

have you stopped being a cheapskate and bought it yet?

Wyzack · Post by **Wyzack** » Thu Jan 05, 2017 8:57 pm #241143

try combat realism. You need to keep your colonists supplied with ammunition but enemies can be suppressed and damage is seriously tweaked, basically limbs are more durable and organs bleed more. Once you get some good fortifications and a handful of automatic weapons and body armor you can swing outside your weight class much better against greater numbers, but also need to be more careful about rescuing your guys when they get really shot up.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

DF is a lot more intricate and fun, but still not autistic enough for me.

Can you remove designations easily? You can designate a mountain to mine or forest to cut down, but you can't seem to remove the designation in other way than canceling each tree/ore. Or am I missing something?

Is there ammunition for guns or they just go?

I caved in and bought the fucker.

'Cancel' tool in the Orders tab can clear marked orders.

Guns don't need ammo, grab Combat Realism if you want to deal with ammo management/more lethal firearms.

Lumbermancer · Sat Jan 07, 2017 7:30 pm

Fire...breaks?

onleavedontatme · Sat Jan 07, 2017 7:32 pm

Barriers of stone or metal to stop fire spreading too far

Lumbermancer · Sat Jan 07, 2017 7:34 pm

How will that affect movement of my guys?

onleavedontatme · Sat Jan 07, 2017 7:35 pm

It will actually speed them up if its stone floors, and it will only slow them a little if you leave stone doors in the stone walls

Lumbermancer · Sat Jan 07, 2017 7:40 pm

Oh, floors. I thought you wanted me to build walls around everything.

Anyway, I kinda like this type of game, but since I'm not really organized I get kinda lost in what to do and give up fast on it... but it can be fun to play around sometimes.

I eventually found out that drugs solve all your problems forever.

If by "solve problem" you mean "give all your colonists cancer before they have mental breaks and then murder each other" sure

Hush meme man, lemme enjoy things before they crash and burn. It's already bad enough some of my best guys are rebelling against my cult.

There's like a million mods on the steam workshop to play with if you get bored of the regular game, so really it's pretty good value

Lumbermancer · Sun Jan 08, 2017 7:32 am

While I don't mind the lack of ammunition, because I feel that combat is a secondary or even tertiary activity, the lack of seeds and ability to plant all the plants all the time is kinda too casual even for me.

Davidchan · Post by **Davidchan** » Sun Jan 08, 2017 9:33 am #241965

Seeds are in the pipe for implimentation, iirc. One of the devlogs mentioned how pretty much all the farming is a place holder right now.

I somehow missed a16 coming out and look forward to getting back into it. Had a blast in a14 with mods in an arctic/ice biome and a zombie mod that sent hundreds of zombays at me a day. Sadly lots of those mods don't work anymore, but the syndicate mod is still a thing adding ss13 tator gear as end game weapons.

Combat is still clunky as ever with you just rnging bullets at each other till you hit something vital, or you go melee and wonder what the fucking point is when a guy with level 12 melee and power armor and a titanium sword loses to some scrub pirate wielding a wooden club and naked.

Lumbermancer · Sun Jan 08, 2017 10:19 am

Is there a design document or a milestone plan somewhere to look up planned features and changes?

Davidchan · Post by **Davidchan** » Mon Jan 09, 2017 9:02 am #242190

Can't even find the log, coulda swore tylan mentioned it around a11 release. Either way he's active on the forums and has repeatedly said he wants to make the game till he can't afford to continue it and while he has an idea of where it should end up he doesn't want to write it down as if its some kind of prerelease promise he may or may not be able to deliver upon.

Ludeon uses an iterative, evidence-based, dynamic development process that changed direction often.
