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.

Discussion 1.7 Incompatible mods

453 Upvotes

Anyone want to throw in what mods were incompatible for the new 1.7 list to make it easier to troubleshoot? So far all I have is Pre-patcher but I have a small/large list depending on how insane your modlists are.

Edits: Pre-patcher

Save our Ship 2

Vanilla Psycast Expanded (Updated)

Generally Performance mods (Some have been updated or still work)

toggleable Readouts (UI wont load)

Graphics Settings+

Faster Game Loading - Continued

Simply more FPS

Vanilla Races Expanded - Pigskin

WorldEdit 2.0

Random's Gene Assistant

Replace Stuff

Dynamic Trade Interface

Random's Gene Assistant

As Above So Below 2

A lot of mods since this post was made have been updated within a day making some of the things listed within this post incorrect. I suggest you re-check your own mods to see if they have been updated and if you have a particularly large mod list and don't want the hassle of checking mods individually and are using Rimsort there is an easy method to check all mods at once.

I personally turn all steam mods into local mods so I can choose when to update my mods manually but either way make sure to backup your mods. In the Rimsort active list left click the first mod then go to the bottom of the list and shift + right click the last mod go to workshop mod options and resubscribe this will update all mods that have been updated to 1.7. If you have a larger mod pack this may take a while and you will get "Unknown folder" just give let Rimsort cook and when its no longer downloading in steam you're good to go. If you have manual mods the same can be done in Rimsort but instead it will say Re-download with SteamCMD instead of Re-subscribe.

#ColonistLife My new pawn Greg just called my ally and told them they are not allowed to even express any opinion on the comms console unless that opinion matches Greg's. Should I banish Greg? I'm just worried that he might get into constant social fights since he's clearly incapable of basic human decency

I didn't even know pawns could do that! Was that added in the new update? Maybe it's from one of the mods I have installed. Anyway, good thing it's just a game and no one acts like that in real life, right? Right?

Discussion So we're just muting people for talking about it?

I know this'll likely be removed like the other two. But this is still related. Because it is a discussion of mods. Mods made for rimworld that were made either with AI assistance or AI Coded mods that are FOR rimworld. People want to talk about it. It is related to rimworld. Let them talk about it! Or ya gonna look like a bunch of tyrants!

While I am mostly against ai. I will say I am one of the peeps who views it as a "in moderation" tool. So while I am semi ok with mods with code assisted by it. If a mod is entirely made with it front to back, there is no creativity or passion behind it.

Edit: I've seen some good things commented here and there. What if there was a separate subreddit for mods? What if there was an AI flair? What if there was a less heavy handed approach? (My own suggestion? An announcement to address things and how it'll be handled! Clear communication)

Also. Since this has blown up far beyond what I thought it would. I'm probably gonna cease replying to some of the things here. I like to be involved with what ive started and boy oh boy. It got big. Too big for me to handle '

So! To ensure clarity

My views of ai? Well it's complicated. If you just make a prompt as simple as "oh make me a mod to destroy any faction I wish" and leave it at that. That's where passion is out the window. More creative uses are when it takes advantage of what it is or helps someone without the experience or funds to make it.

I also feel that this post has also partially evolved. Some have even discussed how they had their rimworld journey deleted, or their artworks removed from the platform. That is also pretty bad when it kind of discourages people from interacting with the fandom.

Guide (Vanilla) Tip for new players : don't sleep on the artistic skill even in early game.

88 Upvotes

If you have a pawn who has a passion for the artistic skill, have them make sculptures out of wood or stone to beautify your starting rooms.

Just a few normal or good grand sculptures will provide big mood boosts to your pawns even if they have to live in a shed stuck halfway in a swamp. And won't generate much wealth either.

Additional tip : if resources are scarce or you want to minmax stuff , only make statues for one room and design your base so all your pawns are guaranteed to go through said room on their way to their next job.

Discussion Insert millionth 1.7 post here

117 Upvotes

Nothing to particularly say except that 1.7 is fucking magic, which we all already knew.

On my latest 1.6 run I was doing a tribal game with about 200-350 mods, game would load in about 13 minutes- My computer is a beast mind you, on my old PC it probably would've been longer.

1.7 comes around, I don't want to sort through mods myself, I grab a hold of the Progression modpack, boot it up day one of 1.7, and load my game in seven minutes.

THIS MODPACK IS 1700+ MODS.

Now, it is the 20th, and my game loads even faster because people are updating their mods: four minutes.

The devs are wizards. God bless unity-less games.
