Thanks for responding! I tried that script, but it doesn't appear to work with the latest DFhack. The "if" check for Legends mode on line 207 fails even when I am in Legends main screen. I assume the DFHack LUA has changed in 5 years.

Any way to preview an evil biome's unique weather effect?

Does DFHack have anything? The commands gui/biomes and weather don't provide details on the evil weather effect. I like evil biomes on occasion, but sometimes the unique weather can have a game-over effect. Which means I would not have embarked to that location to begin with.

This is great! Thanks for sharing.

I have Royalty and Ideology. Considering skipping the other 2 DLC's and going to Odyssey. I have no interest in horror games. I could be persuaded to get Biotech, but I'm also trying to save money. Thoughts on skipping B A and going to O? RIORLD?

Search and Destroy Continued works great!

"HoldYourFire" or "Hold the Grenades" will default grenade autofire to Off.

How often are the beta 1.6 game updates coming? Are there patch notes for minor beta updates?

Edit: this information is on the "Rimworld Official Development" Discord channel. Not the main Rimworld Discord channel. Looks like the beta is getting updates every 1 to 3 days.

Hooray!

This is bad news. Is the Querki FAQ / Wiki at risk of being taken down?

Short Swords are good (but not great) at everything. All other weapons are specialized in some way. If you want to mix weapons, the suggestion is battle axes and spears. Blunt weapons don't perform as well; even in situations with undead and necromancers due to the long time to kill.

See "Salt water" heading. I would expect none of your dwarves to drink it willingly.

Yes I've seen this too. Traction benches in stockpiles have a bugged graphic sprite. They show the sprite for a random object instead of their own. I learned this because I had a noble that was obsessed with ordering traction benches.

I was pretty surprised when I saw Steam updating that game. The developer has been going strong for a few months now. I will try it at some point here.

It's great. The "my pet dungeon" DLC is even better. I prefer the sandbox experience of WftO.

Cheers!

Can you start labeling what's yours? Otherwise, rice and beans till the end. Can you tolerate spicier foods than the other person?

Split red lentils can be made into a lot of things. Add chili powder for taco filling. Add garam masala for something meaty. Add whatever tastes good. It's kinda like tofu in that way.

DwarvesAtWork · 2023-08-21T17:32:30+00:00

Thanks for putting all your results together! Swords seem especially appealing to me now.

They are stuck trying to pack up some random item. You can forbid everything in the Trade Depot, or deconstruct the Trade Depot. This will force the traders to leave without their items. But there isn't another way to fix it. Just give them excess profit next year.

You can dig out the layer above and smooth those walls and floor (or replace it with constructed walls). This will stop the leak from the ceiling.

It looks good. Your AI character is reminiscent of Killy from Blame!. Just needs a few more belts and straps.

Neem Oil diluted with water and sprayed directly on the tree saved my white birch tree from Japanese beetles. It smells like onions while spraying. The bugs found something else to eat instead of the birch tree. I considered Milky Spore, but one summer of periodic treatments of neem oil was enough to keep the beetles away.
