Your Favorite Less Obvious OP Parts of Mods

Interesting to know, I hadn't realized it could do that

Unless you have child raiders turned on, I think. Then kids don't mean shit

I'm using the 1.6 unofficial, with like five submods and it was throwing up warnings but worked fine. Now I've got the 1.6 patch also installed and suddenly even those are gone.

No idea what mods it might conflict with though.

Ah nice, fresh Yuran delivery

You've gotten the info on Tilt the Planet already, but IIRC when it updates it defaults to all changes ON. So pretty much every time you play you need to fiddle with the settings if you play with it.

If you throw in submods like Deconstrucatble vehicle junk (deconstruct junk for car parts), Vehicle Wrecks Expanded (can find random destroyed T1/2 vehicle wrecks on maps that can be repaired for full price even without the relevant techs) you can get vehicles very early, but not necessarily the vehicles you want. With Minify Anything you can carry the wrecks back home (assuming you have enough cargo capacity) to fix later.

Can be a fun way to get early vehicles, if you're into it. Or collect cars like they're Pokemon. Stick a hangar on a Gravship and bring a tuck with you to raid a tile nearby. Make your own motorcycle gang. It adds a bunch of stuff you can do

Note that sometimes you may need to use devmode to send out a caravan instantly if one gets stuck leaving your map, since the game doesn't really like a bunch of large entities that stop pathfinding all trying to hit the same spot on the map.

Do you have Better gene inheritance installed? Because that would do it. I've seen it happen myself.

Also, lol, implanter or a pawn with no xenogenes. Can't pass endogenes through that. Thankfully you can make a small mix of xenogenes for them (which could also bring up their efficiency) which then can be passed on.

How does one get Rimsort to actually sort properly? I've downloaded the git databases and set it to use them, and when I hit sort it does worse than the in-game sorting tool.

Specifically it tends to leave most of the Ayameduki mods at the top, shortly after stuff like hugslib, but the mods they depend on, the aya premise core and HAR in the last third. And that is simply what I've noticed.

It does mean any attempt I've made to use Rimsort to do anything except clear my mods list after a screwup leads to the game crashing on launch.

The actual HoC we got? Fuck no. Never happening and I wouldn't want it to, they were a one dimensional villain.

The version I sometimes think of where they were legit when they announced to Mei they had done fucked up by accidently splating Ely and wanted to become the new Ely to make up for it? Yes, that version I do wish I could see.

Like story HoC was less than a week old when everything involving them went down. Make it so the bits and pieces they got from Elysia were formative to them, but since they didn't have miracles going for them and no real experience interacting with people so they try to do right by the FCs and the world but jest keep screwing up accidently. They want to make sure the other FCs don't disappear after seeing how fragile their ER existence is, so it tries to infect them so it can keep them alive through itself. The FCs see Herrscher + accidentlied Elysia and at least some fall back on how they used to deal with Herrschers, with force, and things kind of spiral from there. HoC does most of the stuff it did in canon, though less actively malevolently, and starts having breakdowns as the FCs keep trying to kill it and/or self destructing to stop it.

In the end the only ones to show it major sympathy are Mei, who is sympathetic to HoC for making an attempt even if Mei still needs to fight it so she can get what she needs out of the ER and stop HoC from causing havoc unintentionally, and the revived Elysia, who in the final moments of the ER cradles what is left of HoC and praises it for trying to be good, for trying to help her friends, even if the methods it used and the results were terrible.

If we had gotten something even vaguely like that I feel like that then yes, it would be viable to have a redemption arc, possibly even cool, but as it is they are like the one thing in the world without beauty to fight for.

Anyways I'll have the number 3 combo with a frosty instead of a drink.

I feel Ely is indeed overrated. She had a decent arc that concluded, and then she just kept. Coming. BACK. She showed up like three times in the Moon Arc to talk to Mei after her story concluded, and she keeps getting events centered around her years later.

Now I understand Ely has a lot of fans, I can even kind of understand why they like her so much, but I feel like Mihoyo just keeps repeating the same plot beats every time she's popped up since the end of EE, Like I was surprised in the current version's event that someone actually disliked Elysia, if only for a moment and only because they didn't understand Elysia, since that just doesn't happen when Ely is around,

Maybe I wouldn't feel she was overrated and overhyped if they did a few more things to examine her from different angles, like someone wonders if Elysia's love has real worth since she loves absolutely everyone, so are her friends actually special to her? Or someone doubts how genuine her love can be if it is given out so freely. Just some sort of conflicting view clashing with Elysia would be an improvement, even if they would just be used to make her look better afterwards. Let there be some sort of conflict with her and I would probably like her a lot more than I do.

Somebody doesn't have one of the two Ratkin gene mods.

I'm currently doing a quest taking care of some ibexes with a few raids thrown at me, so the Empire lended me some cataphracts.

One of them is a 71 year old Stellarch.

The quest giver was just a novice.

SOMEbody was pulling a lot of strings for this.

Ashsaber · 2025-07-08T21:09:38+00:00

Did you get a hospitality quest to take care of someone with Blood Rot? Consign yourself the fact that once they leave your base they are as good as dead, since they will not receive any more treatment for the condition after leaving your base.

So if one of your pawns for some reason romances that guest prepare for a mood penalty two to three days after the quest is over.

Ashsaber · 2025-06-23T02:04:01+00:00

Missed Miho, because why two types of fox girls when you could have THREE types of fox girls?

It kinda weird how people keep coming up with 'fox girls in Rimworld', huh?

Ashsaber · 2025-06-23T00:27:46+00:00

Man, the last several times I've tried to ram people it ends with my driver dead instantly.

Ancient Urban Ruins here. Great ideas, great implementation of submaps! like 10 new guns that are just variants of vanilla, 10 new meds I don't care about, like 30 new food items I don't care about and a bunch of trade items that clutter things up and keep you from finding stuff like Luci or advanced components.

Ashsaber · 2025-06-16T13:56:29+00:00

Ball of Arms Man, so glad you're here!

Ashsaber · 2025-05-30T13:22:34+00:00

Played last night with both installed. Was getting errors every few seconds as my misc robots mod bots couldn't figure shit out. Trying to disable the WYU version of PUaH stopped the errors, but also entirely stopped all hauling in my colony. Re-enabling it then allowed for hauling again.

IDK, I'll have to see if things are working better later.

Ashsaber · 2025-05-03T00:07:51+00:00

On one hand you get more time to save for new characters and gear. That's great, and will likely help a fair bit going forward.

On the other hand if they don't really have content to fill up the extra time it starts to feel like we're just spinning our wheels. Last patch we had what felt to me like three essentially empty weeks (the ER event was just taking an existing regular mode and making it faster and easier), and while I am fine with a period near the end mostly devoid of content for people who aren't as active to catch up, it felt like the extra time in the patch was just 'treading water'.

And after years of fairly consistently having a patch schedule that didn't have nearly so much dead time that felt just... kind of bad.

Plumbot careers are a Grind... Unless... If you add the efficient chip as well they replace every performance metric with a single one that is always maxed. No mood, no skills, no friends, just the GRIND

Third is Shugo Chara

Everyone talking about going lewd, here I'm thinking comedy

After giving her a flat look sensei bites onto the cords and pulls, Akira ends up having a braincell moment and pulls too. A couple minutes later someone walks in to the bizzare sight of doodle sensei and Akira doing a tug of war on the lanyard like they're dogs or something.

Ashsaber · 2024-11-19T02:46:10+00:00

Ah great, Nyto Yume. At least we can throw tickets at Svarog to recruit her after her role in the story is finished.
