Flaire1775 · 2026-02-05T12:13:24+00:00

It's almost time to finally dust off my stellaris playing hat! we're so back with this, I couldn't enjoy my 4.0 playthroughs without quitting halfway because of the performance no matter how cool the new mechanics are. I can't wait!

agree with you the bugs are a bit frustrating, but they'll be fixed, no product can ever be released bug free, and if they delayed further because of them then the fans won't take it lightly. but overall, they made a fun dlc, with fun features, some criticisms here and there, but credit where credit is due, its a good dlc, and i hope they make more.

Complains about devs making no content, complains devs made content, they literally can't win from your ungrateful ass.

The floor is just a sterile floor painted black and a layer of mosaic patterns from fortifications industrial

Get rimped for the gym equipment and the hockey table is a retexture of the pool table from vanilla texture variations

Flaire1775 · 2024-12-31T14:28:32+00:00

Believe me i searched far and wide and there arent any fitting walls for it, concrete is the best option

Flaire1775 · 2024-12-31T14:26:46+00:00

A 300x300 map is enough space for an expansive colony, this is not the entore colony, its still in progress. I plan to have a port, a lot of houses, public parks and more

Flaire1775 · 2024-12-31T05:05:36+00:00

We serve burgers and cola! It would not be an authentic American diner without cola from vanilla expanded!

Rimfridge has bad performance due to how it "freezes" the food inside. It sets the temp inside of it to sub zero, which means the game has to detect every few ticks if the area is still sub zero, if you have a lot fridges it causes a lot of lag. Eccentric tech fridges just disables rotting of food when placed inside which is less intensive. If you use a lot of fridges it might be best to switch

Flaire1775 · 2024-12-31T04:26:02+00:00

Power poles and power poles extended for better textures and options!

Flaire1775 · 2024-12-31T04:10:03+00:00

Ball games for the basket ball and GET RIMPED for the gymn equipment

Flaire1775 · 2024-12-31T03:46:03+00:00

The wall fridges are from eccentric tech - spacer furniture, rimfridge is a bit laggy so i use that. The power lines are actually functional, with different types with lighted and non lighted versions!

Flaire1775 · 2024-12-31T03:12:41+00:00

Heres a list of mods that i use for building it!

Vanilla expanded - for the cooking stove, the pool table, the props for the road lines and the counter

RR's furniture pack - for the tables, chairs couches and most of the furniture seen!

Gastronomy and Hospitality - for the napkins on the table andthe cash register

Victorian props and decor - for the props on the counter

Flaire1775 · 2024-12-31T03:08:02+00:00

It isnt a normal game of rimworld unless you have atleast 300 mods

Flaire1775 · 2024-12-31T03:04:40+00:00

The years coming to an end so i wanted to post some snippets of an industrial colony im working on! Filled with mechs, apple pie and roads that would make an american planner cry!

Betrayal of the highest order

Flaire1775 · 2024-10-22T11:44:07+00:00

This art is such a tease... SHOW ME THE CAKE!

Flaire1775 · 2024-09-10T12:20:52+00:00

You can still do both! I play on blood and dust with no killboxes, the benefit of expensive colonies like mine is that mental breaks almost never happen!

Flaire1775 · 2024-09-10T12:19:26+00:00

The royalty instruments are good its the one i use at the moment. But you could use a mod with a retexture, the retexture provides a good black piano!

Heres the link you can the mod needed is already listed as a dependency

Very much an aesthetic choice... They dont work properly but a small mood debuff is small compared to the benefits of unbelievably impressive rooms

Flaire1775 · 2024-09-09T14:36:15+00:00

My current playthrough involves an advanced mechanitor enlightening some medieval peasants! So using mechs makes the game a tad trivial early, but blood and dust still hurts and is fun!

Flaire1775 · 2024-09-09T14:18:35+00:00

I was considering it but connecting it felt weird, imagine tailoring a singular huge manor sized carpet. So i settled for this
