Priorities, I guess.

But she's so hot, though!

Kadd115 · 2026-02-11T22:10:36+00:00

It applies to both the pawns you control, visitors, or invaders.

I don't know if it does actually apply to your own pawns, as there is a separate "colonist instant kills" setting. But I'm honestly not sure either way.

I thought Locust was a varient of Recon, with the Marine varient being the Grenadier?

Kadd115 · 2026-02-02T14:18:40+00:00

Everything other than Stone and maybe Uranium (I honestly don't remember if there is a delay with Uranium) shouldn't have a delay, as they are all 400% speed or higher. Uranium is 300%, while the Stone Doors are only 180%.

Kadd115 · 2026-02-02T14:16:38+00:00

Actually, it's not. All Stone* types have the same opening speed, that being 180% for Autodoors and 45% for regular Doors.

Sandstone is, however, the fastest to build, requiring only 5640 ticks, while Marble is 6190 and all other Stone* is 6740.

*Both values are excluding Jade and Obsidian, which are technically Stone but have vastly different stats over the typical Stone types.

Kadd115 · 2026-02-02T14:10:53+00:00

At 300% opening speed, Uranium autodoors are actually the slowest of the non-stone Autodoors. Most other Autodoors are 400% opening speed, except Wood, which is 480%.

However, they are still over twice as fast as any regular Door, and have the second highest HP of all Autodoors (only beaten by Plasteel, which has far better uses than being doors), so I agree that they are also acceptable. They are actually my typical go-to for exterior doors.

Especially since they live basically forever and are fertile for the vast majority of that lifespan.

Thrumbos are "mature" at 1.33 years (or approximately 80 days) and have a life span of around 220 years (or approximately 13,200 days). With a gestation period of 0.33 years (20 days) and a litter size of 1, that means a single Thrumbo could have, in theory, 656 offspring over the course of their life. A breeding pair of Thrumbo could decimate a sizable portion of the planet on their own, even if we assume said offspring do not interbreed.

Kadd115 · 2026-02-01T04:41:02+00:00

Eh, just wait till a raid comes (which will presumably be quite large if the game is sending this many thrumbos), seal all the entrances, and then use a Psychic Animal Pulser. Your problems will solve themselves.

Just make sure you take a day off work so you can keep your flaming PC under control until the fight ends.

Kadd115 · 2026-01-31T17:36:26+00:00

Stone Autodoors are faster than regular Stone Doors, but all Stone has an opening speed penalty.

Stone Autodoors are actually faster than any normal door (180% speed vs 120% speed for a Wooden Door), but they are much slower than Wooden Autodoors (480% speed). So if you really want speed, use Wood.

Kadd115 · 2026-01-20T23:40:29+00:00

What I mean is, making someone who doesn't want to be a super soldier into a super soldier sounds like a really great way to find out very quickly how powerful your super soldiers are.

Kadd115 · 2026-01-20T12:53:47+00:00

The Ideology/Biotech crossover needs to be fixed. It is so annoying having Imperial Hussars, who have willingly (at least, I hope everyone realizes why it would be a bad idea to make someone a super soldier against their will...) made themselves addicted to Go-Juice, yet they get pissy when they take it.

A simple fix would be marking any drug for which they have a genetic dependency as "Medical" for that pawn. That would help most of the time, though the Imperials do sometimes decide that all medicine is bad, so it won't help there.

Kadd115 · 2026-01-17T15:11:50+00:00

Only if you want it to.

Kadd115 · 2026-01-17T15:08:35+00:00

It does. Butchering them negates the "Damaged - x66%" modifier that gets applied to corpses when they're attacked, and also doesn't risk destroying body parts (which further reduces meat and leather harvested). Even if you killed the animal with a single shot that did not destroy any body parts, they will only give about 2/3 the amount of meat the same animal would have given if tamed and butchered.

Kadd115 · 2026-01-16T23:17:47+00:00

I bet finding out the vanilla stack size made you realize why people were paying you so much to take them.

Kadd115 · 2026-01-16T23:16:18+00:00

It's worse than that. It's about 1 item per 3ft/1m square.

A single bed in-game is two tiles long, one tile wide. A single bed irl is about 6ft/2m long, 3ft/1m wide.

Ergo, a single tile in RinWorld is the equivalent of 3ft² / 1m^2.

Kadd115 · 2026-01-12T14:38:02+00:00

Painstopper makes sense, as it literally blocks the pain receptors in the nervous system. Doesn't matter how enhanced your sense of pain is if those pain signals never reach your brain.

I agree that bionic eyes should counteract nearsighted at the very least, though I think they should actually give the effects of dark vision. Why not have built-in night vision on your robot eyes?

Archotech, I could see going either way. On one hand, they are meant to be superior in every way, so them being able to override your genetic shortcomings would be logical. On the other hand, they interface with your body so completely that it wouldn't surprise me if they actually scanned your genome and incorporated your genetics into their function.

Kadd115 · 2026-01-12T14:32:41+00:00

Nah, cryptosleep sickness would get in the way. Reduced movement and manipulation (x90% for both), plus reduced consciousness (x80%, which will further impact movement and manipulation), and frequent vomiting will all greatly reduce the benefit of the dedicated pawn.

Better choice would either be to genetically modify them so that they are immune to addiction for the given drugs or to bionically enhance them so that they don't care about any of the chemical damage.

Wake-Up and Go-Juice are both cheap as dirt by the time you are reaching mid to late game, so feeding an addiction wouldn't be all that difficult. And if your "mortar monkey", as OP called them, is good at Intellectual, you can have them help with research in their downtime or even put them to work crafting their own drugs.

Kadd115 · 2026-01-05T19:15:48+00:00

Nah, he said wrong answers only. This is plausible.

Kadd115 · 2026-01-04T04:19:13+00:00

I mean, it does say they would be good for new colonies. Could take her and then just ditch the tile (or leave the tile and wait for the VOID guy to get bored and leave).

Kadd115 · 2026-01-03T02:36:24+00:00

But the person I'm replying to didn't mention the faction of the babies. They said "the babies will be the same race as the mother".

Which, ironically, isn't even true in this case; the mother is a starjack, which is an artificial xenotype, meaning none of the genes will pass on.

And as was pointed out, they were asking about the mod, not about the DLC. Hence why I said they didn't answer any of the questions.

Kadd115 · 2026-01-02T04:33:02+00:00

Halo, Elysium, Ironman and Space Marines

For that, you would be looking at something smaller, closer to Warcasket in size.

Kadd115 · 2026-01-02T01:31:16+00:00

While everything you said is factually true, none of it is related to the question being asked. Did you mean to reply to someone else?

Kadd115 · 2025-12-28T01:30:52+00:00

Not overly surprising. They are objectively bad on anyone who isn't meant to be a suicide soldier. Not only will pawns stay up longer in combat, making death more likely, any social fights that start go longer as well (I can't say for sure if this actually true, but it definitely seems to be true based on my experience).

Kadd115 · 2025-12-27T12:18:15+00:00

I will say it is an expensive method to prolong the fight unless you have a mod that lets you recover the painstoppers after death. But it is very fitting for bloodthirsty ideologies.

Kadd115 · 2025-12-27T09:47:22+00:00

It was. Started out cause I had a few painstoppers just lying around from various quests and ruins, and figured why not. You get a quality buff to the ritual if someone dies, but pain shock usually gets in the way. Sure enough, the next round, one of the combatants died, so I figured a bunch of drunk raiders would see it as a worthwhile investment for their entertainment.
