Just started out with this last night and before I knew it, it was already sunrise...

Haven't played the royalty expansion but for vanilla rimworld floors are entirely unnecessary, I assume they're still unnecessary for non-royalty.

DF fans are like vegans. That have to let you know about their tastes.

I believe if rooms are at least 6x6 and you throw in a light/bedside table they should be pretty good for it. That's what I've been doing so far and any problems in that department have been pretty minimal.

One bitch keeps losing her mind because her boyfriend died, though. Semi-regularly digs up his corpse and just leaves it on the kitchen table like an absolute lunatic lol

It raises the quality of the room massively.

I never made rooms that big. I guess I'll try it out.

>game so good someone got permanent butthurt over it
you might be this game's biggest fan.

You get marginally easier farming but that's it. You still have to deal with the heat, the wildlife, the obnoxious tall grass slowing everyone down, and most of all the diseases.

I know and so what? Maybe do it for rec rooms and bed rooms but why is room quality necessary early game? If pawns are breaking down room quality is the least of your concerns.

please consider Dwarf Fortress, instead.

I also set one of my passive old lady settlers to prioritize cleaning over work and it seems to help with the general mood. For a while there was blood all over the fucking place after an especially nasty encounter and nobody seemed to want to take care of it on their own. Manual priorities seem to be key to getting shit done in a timely way

While it technically makes the game easier, one mod that I consider almost essential is the realistic room sizes. It lowers the size requirements to keep pawns happy. The default requirements are ridiculously high even for people who don't live on the edge of the universe.

>Coolers generate heat? Haha, I am so smart, I will put my barracks on the other side of my freezer for free heating
And that's when I discovered that coolers have an insane fucking heat output that could roast an elephant alive.

As soon as it updates its UI and tileset to this millennium it'll pick up

I get too attached to anyone who joins my colony, but I hate save scumming. So this is my only solution.

Most of the time in my games they're breaking down because the quality of their bedrooms is too low.

You could just put their bodies into a freezer and revive them when you get a resurrecter injector

I personally like the sci-fi setting and aesthetic of Rimworld more than fantasy-based pixels, to be honest. I have little doubt DF is deeper but eh, for now I'll just enjoy the game I already have before trying to pick up something thats even harder to look at than it is to figure out the mechanics.

For all the thousand hours I have played this game, I will never understand the hate people have for pyro's. No one ever seems to want a pyro. I'll take a pyro any day of the week over a Sickly or Wimp pawn. Chem Fascination is also up there in shitty traits too, but at least you can deal with it by not having drugs or easy money.

I didn't know this

Pawns won't break down early game just because of room quality, their expectations are too low. Simple meals, livable temperature, medium size rooms, recreation are all way more important than wasting time and resources putting flooring everywhere. After early game when things start to stabilize it can be a good idea to floor up the bedrooms.

Thats really cool actually. Once I manage to get a freezer up and running I'll keep that in mind

Put a sarcophagus in the freezer and stuff the body in there. It stays preserved and you don't have to worry about any of your haulers eating parts off as well.

I forgot to mention chem fascination and the other chem one, those are also auto remove/reroll for me. It's easy to be successful if you use drugs to either sell or for pawns' mental states. Wimp in my eyes is actually a good trait paradoxically. The pawn will go down after a small injury and the enemy will move on to attacking someone else. It makes it easy to heal the wimpy pawn up after a fight because they never fight long enough to lose an arm or something. If the pawn is fighting alone wimp does suck, they'll go down and immediately be eaten/kidnapped.

I've been building everything out of wood but started rebuilding with stone walls after my hydro setup decided to shit itself and blow up. Being next to a mountain stone is almost more abundant than trees, so on my next go I'll be doing that from the start unless theres some significant downside I'm not yet aware of.

Also I've now reached a point where steel is feeling pretty scarce. Seems I may have harvested every bit on the local map and traders don't have any on offer every time they roll through. Should I just send a caravan to visit the nearest settlement and hope for the best?

Is the royal dlc worth it?

There's no real downside to building with stone. Steel and wood catch fire though. And of course building under mountain roof can spawn hives. Though I guess it's worth saying that stone doors open much slower than steel or wood do. But they have way more HP. Good for outer defences and prisoner rooms.

what's that pawn apperance mod?

do 1.0 mods work with 1.1? haven't played rimworld in a while and I see there's a couple choices for limiting technology to ~19th century but they're listed as 1.0

FemaleBB body type

Can you grow trees inside?

Not really, the stuff it adds are pretty minor.
But if you're the type to drop hours into rimworld anyway then you might as well.

Not under a roof, no.

According to google you can just make a hole in the roof.

will grow slow as fuck since adjacent tiles are constantly shadowed

You do what you gotta do.

Be careful about digging too deep into a mountain. They make for great bases, and do a nice job of keeping you cool, but sooner or later they get infested.

The quarry mod is a nice addition for once you're out of steel, or any of the other deposit resources. You can edit the properties of the mine for how long it will last, and what it will give you. So you can make it cheaty as hell, or pretty much just a stone generator with the random odd piece of steel.
Or you could just trade for steel from time to time.
I think it's also possible to start a caravan, go one tile out, set up camp, and just mine out whatever you can find there, and then return to base when you're satisfied.

Cool, I'll try a little journey to the next tile. Is there any difference in functionality between lime and sandstone when building walls?

Different HP values when built into things. You're basically always looking for Granite or Marble. Granite has the highest HP value and marble has a slight beauty bonus to the things it makes.

>but for vanilla rimworld floors are entirely unnecessary
You're missing out with that approach. Sterile tiles raise research speed and increase the cleanly value of kitchens to further reduce food poisoning chances.

The cryosleep caskets in the initial dangerous area on maps are also great for this. Sticking sick/heavily wounded colonists/prisoners into them until things have calmed down is always a great trick

A really cheesy start to any naked-brutality run is just finding the dangerous area, luring out the mechs/insects into local fauna or raiders, repeat for the sleeping soldiers in the caskets which you can also surround in bear traps, and you're off to an easy well-armed start

>Sterile tiles raise research speed

U wot m8

Research speed is effected by the room cleanliness. Higher cleanliness gives a higher multiplier. So having a sterile room is a decent bump.

Research speed is impacted by room cleanliness, and having the room floored with sterile tiles raises it past 0.00. It's worth it if you can spare the silver

I don't know the numbers, but different materials provide different levels of defense, insolation, flammability, and marble provides some beauty.

Just a point that (unless is was stealth changed with Royalty) all walls give the same insulation. A two tile thick wall is usually enough to stop temp bleed through from having too much of an impact.

Oh. That's probably from a mod I have then. It's been so long since I've played vanilla that I barely remember what is, and isn't in the base game.
I also haven't played since before Royalty came out, and I don't see myself buying that. So I couldn't tell you what that does, or doesn't change.

Yes the wildlife can be a bit of a bitch sometimes if you're not prepared for it or they catch a colonist off guard. Keep an eye on any panthers near your settlement

download a fuckton of them after a run of vanilla, there's a lot of bad design decisions that mods fix as well as a lot of shit to add in all stages of the game

some of them, but a lot of code was changed so a lot of them are fucked
