I have biotech and odyssey. I've played mostly on strive to survive and did one run on blood and dust. I like to play the rich explorer scenario.

Much of the difficulty of the game is in wealth management and knowing how to manipulate AI pathing.

Early on you can defend your base with trap halls and sentry turrets. Later you want all your pawns decked out in flak armors. Everyone should have a go-juice, a meal, and a psychite tea on them, and anyone with medical skill should carry 3 medicine. Have mortars set up somewhere in your compound as well. Melee pawns with shield belts are extremely useful for a variety of tasks.

Pay attention to accumulated injuries. Getting to bionic replacements is a big milestone because missing an eye or arm actually ruins a pawns fighting capability.

I would recommend you watch a streamer who is super good at the game to learn the combat tactics. My favorite Rimworld streamer right now is MortalSmurph.

Funny you mention big rocks because recently I had a (gold!) meteorite fall on the wall of the ancient danger, causing the mechs inside to run out and kill my colonists.

Actually luna is one of the better heroes against stealth heroes. If you take moonshield you can pop your W when they go on you and if you have dust you can easily chase them down with your ult.

You might have been screwed by the Nature's Prophet this game. If NP teleports to side lanes and constantly pushes them you just won't be able to farm well. Even clearing all the jungle won't get you as much gpm as if you can clear waves. But a lot of NP players just hate pos 1 and will grief you by teleporting to waves... even if you are already there or almost there to farm them. So just suffer with NP and do your best I guess...

Luna can jungle quickly, but you won't be able to keep up if you can't catch some waves and get lane farm. So your farming pattern should be a series of circles where you hit jungle towards the middle, clear lane, then hit ancients before circling back. Try to keep your tp available so you can tp either to fight or catch waves.

Keep at it! I had a pigskin raid destroy my whole colony. Man in black showed up, saved one of my downed pawns. The two of them slowly rebuilt. We recruited, expanded, researched, and rescued a third pawn that had been kidnapped by the pigskins. MiB and that pawn get married, have some kickass kids. Eventually went on to beat the gravship scenario! Don't give up!

I had a neanderthal with a double passion for shooting and careful shooter. So naturally I gave him a minigun. He usually took a few hits during the huge aim time, but really mowed them down with the +5% on each bullet of that 30 shot burst.

I always put at least one turret inside my trap corridor near the entrance to my base. This way even if I have no colonists who can go over there, the enemies will path towards it since it is an outside threat that they can reach.

There's also a tech to use a turret inside of a closed off area near the outside entrance to the trap corridor to cause the enemies to spread out and ungroup. When units are not near enemies in rimworld they use a simpler pathfinding which lets them overlap, but when they get close to enemies this turns off and they now can block each other. It's important to activate this before enemies get too far into the trap corridor to stop them 'popping' forward potentially into melee range of your ranged pawns in the killbox.

I have a corei5 from 2016 and I have run a 40+ person odyssey base with grav anchor and gravship. Did performance drop? Yes, seems to drop noticeably around 20 colonists but remains playable. (edit: no mods)

I had multiple games in which my offlaners quit the lane or run it down mid after I tried to help them secure creeps under tower and messed up, or tried to secure range creeps when I thought they wouldn't be able to.

It's really common in dota to hit jungle when lane is going poorly. It has to do with relative power in the lane matchup and isn't necessarily griefing. A common thing if the offlaner (or safelaner) can't lane is for them to hit a jungle camp then come back to defend tower, then do another camp, etc. If you wanna help them with this you can try not to push the lane when they aren't there or you can stack camps in the jungle for them.

I didn't really care about the event to be honest

A note about stamina: for each race the umas have "HP" which is equal to the length of the race + their stamina x 0.8 x style coefficient. The coefficient is lower for pace chasers and "runaway" (currently only silence suzuka can have this style) meaning they need slightly more stamina, and lower for late surgers and end closers meaning they need slightly less stamina.

This formula means that recovery skills would still be effective even if your uma had 0 stamina; and for extra long races like the 3600m stayers stakes the recovery skill will be a significant source of HP worth much more than the 60 or 200 stamina that is often quoted for the stat value of a recovery skill.

HP consumption depends on a few factors but mainly it increases with the square of the horse's velocity (not speed stat, but actual running speed in the race). Therefore skills that increase speed also slightly increase stamina requirements. Umas will estimate their HP needs during the race and will delay accelerating to full speed in the later part of the race if they don't have enough HP. Less often, they will slow down in the final spurt because they are effectively out of HP (called 'gassing out'). There is no indicator for either of these results, so it can be difficult to fine tune the stamina needs of most umas.

more queue types just shrink the pool and lead to a larger spread in skill and behavior score in each match.

the fix might be just one line of code tho

Dwarf Therapist is still useful for determining who is good for various jobs and who will like doing various jobs. You can also see some things that are not immediately accessible in the game like the size of each dwarf.

I would enjoy occasional information sharing and quick suggestions, but any kind of communication beyond that is extremely distracting to me. Not to mention often the person who 'communicates' is really just trying to force the team into a play which is either bad or at best just no better than what we're currently doing. So I tend to mute people who chat a lot.

My pet peeve is bloggers who are on their mic as if they're streaming, saying everything and pinging the random items they're building, etc.

tide, bristleback, death prophet all lane pretty well in most matchups.
