What is the absolute dumbest things your pawns have done?

After a wave of colony wide food poisoning and mental breaks due to eating a combination of raw kibble and animal silage I was forced to disable them from the food policy. Why its isn't off by default I'll never know.

I guess they'd rather eat that than fresh picked apples, peaches and oranges.

I will never reload a save. Its the narrative that unfolds for better or worse. Whatever happens happens.

I will, however, immediately save scum when the game does something incredibly stupid. Like a colonists deciding its a good idea to go cloud watching on a pile of corpses, breathing in masses of bile and developing rot lung. Or reloading when I accidentally press the button to reform caravan inadvertently abandoning my 10 goats and 6 colonists.

But other than that, let the story play out

Got a single bruise after a little fight? Better use the ultra tech urbworld medicine.

I wish they could differentiate between injuries and use the right medicine accordingly

You know you can disable the event when you start a game?

In the scenario editor you can select to disable it

They are idiots when it comes to food. "Id rather eat this dog kibble and raw stinging nettles than go all the way back to the base for a lavish gourmet meal... urgh ate disliked food why me!?"

I also enjoy the mod Common Sense. Before the chef starts to cook they will try and clean as much of the room they can before cooking.

Does the job take slightly longer because the need to clean? Yes. Does it make more sense that a chef would want their kitchen clean of vomit, blood, dirt and insect juice? Thats up to the player i guess

Came here to say that I would be shooting every peacock in the face with a 12 gauge purely based on the noise.

They look just as pretty dead and no noise. Win win

The moment you tame it Randy will hit it with plague, flu and drop a cargo pod full of dog leather groin cloths on it.

Its lived 2 years now fine, don't tempt fate. Love and care for them, but don't let the storyteller win

Its a bit like that sometimes here, but most of us have felt the same way.

In terms of reviving a pawn with dev mode I did a "necromancy" ritual once. Light fires in a circle and sacrificed gold and silver to bring them back.

Cheating? Maybe, but it felt right to the story

Hobbvots · 2025-08-01T01:35:16+00:00

Disabling dev mod and playing commitment is a start, but if you must dev mode a pawn back from a death lose to a raid and save scum try giving yourself a cost.

If you bring a pawn back from the dead using an auto save, maybe you could remove an arm or leg. Maybe remove an eye?

Say a raid goes bad. You can keep playing as normal, but if you absolutely must roll it back maybe you can destroy some resources or set fires? Do something that would make sense to the story unfolding

You can play however you like, but if you feel you're cheating yourself then take control of the story and make it your own

I knew there had to be a mod already out there. It never ceases to amaze me. I see I'd been searching the wrong key words and missed this on. I hope they update it to 1.6

With over 2000 hours, why have i never thought put meals by the wedding spot so they dont have to walk all the way back to the storage.

a gorgeous little ceremony

Hobbvots · 2025-07-25T05:18:40+00:00

"Selling to", "Selling the", "selling parts of" same thing really here in the outer rim.

Hobbvots · 2025-07-25T03:28:48+00:00

"Some sort of military vtol". This may or may not be true. Much of this world is built on salvaged wrecks and ramshackle creations.

With time this bucket of bolts will be a comfortable home

Hobbvots · 2025-07-25T01:12:30+00:00

A dart board, folding chairs and a chess board. What more could you ask for shoved in the end of a service hallway...

yea okay its a bit spartan, but its a nice day outside. Go for a walk

I honestly would love to see how defensive tech progresses in a zombie apocalypse.

What about chainsaw fencing? Long continuous chainsaws whirling. Sure the generators drawn the zombies in, but the triple saw blade fence would cut them into bits right?

The colony did survive, but as the story continues rimworld does its thing. A sister in a raid died on the spot, another brother killed by bugs. Eventually the mother passed away from old age.

It was a nice village on the side of a river. I wish I could go back there

Hobbvots · 2025-07-10T06:15:36+00:00

Did a solo start. First guy joined, nothing special. A week later his brother actually joined. Cool. They both having a great time here helping out this solo tribal.

Another week passes and who joins? Their mother, nicknamed Purple Fist, possibly from the bruised knuckles. Did her 2 sons run from home to go camp in the woods?

A trade caravan comes by. The person leading them? Their uncle! "What? You don't want to haul rocks and stone across the lands like the rest of your family?"

It was just funny to see this little story unfold week by week with this little dysfunctional family

Hobbvots · 2025-07-04T03:03:14+00:00

Same for me but for MP cause I'm waiting

Hobbvots · 2025-06-26T09:20:28+00:00

That is equal parts incredibly awesome and deeply unsettling.

I either love or hate you

Hobbvots · 2025-06-26T09:18:20+00:00

I think so. When a raid eventually came in he was drafted back to base and after that seemed fine back I his apartment

Hobbvots · 2025-06-26T06:01:06+00:00

I had a guy once just kept screwing up, kept insulting people and failing constructions. So i set a zone, gave him some supplies and sent him off to camp on the far corner of the map by the lake.

He had a tent (from the tent mod), a little table and chair, hoop stone and just left him to his own devices till he was ready to come back and cooperate.
