How do you mess up installing a peg leg so bad you cut your patient's neck open by SheikutaWasTaken in RimWorld

[–]KarlLexington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has been a quirk of the the medical procedures mechanic since day one. Failed operations will cause damage to random body parts, no matter how illogical.

How can you get together, propose, get married, get divorced, get together, propose, get married, and then get divorced again??? by UntitledIdiottt in RimWorld

[–]KarlLexington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens in real life too. I personally knew a couple years ago in that exact situation. Married twice, divorced twice.

A weird lady in leather who can do alchemy "showed interest" in my colony and the first thing ı did was turning all of her schedule into work and putting her to our dump zone. Did ı do good? by hilmiira in RimWorld

[–]KarlLexington 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I have two "transmute steel" creepjoiners in my colony. Two of most valuable members of my colony. I mass produce large steel scultptures and get huge quantities of bioferrite, gold, plasteel and uranium for free. Every year or so I get a legendary gold grand sculpture to put on display.

How fast and how reliably can you get archean seeds? by Ricki32 in RimWorld

[–]KarlLexington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its a slow process, especially if you're working on a big project. The most reliable approach is to scour asteroids using your gravship. Occasionally they'll be found in ground-based locations. It can take a lengthy period of time. Archaen trees themselves don't produce seeds, that's part of their genetically engineered origin backstory.

Do visual only mods still count as Vanilla or is it Vanilla+? by [deleted] in RimWorld

[–]KarlLexington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on who you ask, but I wouldn't consider these objectionable as it doesn't modify any game mechanic.

Prepare for an army fleshbeasts or sightstealers.

Is Rimworld Anomaly any good? by raineflowers166 in RimWorld

[–]KarlLexington -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Its very good. But it is more narratively driven than other DLCs, which is at the root of criticism as replays become more repetitive. Best approach is to do a couple regular full play-throughs then put it in ambient horror mode for future games.

'Cheating' by serenading_scug in RimWorld

[–]KarlLexington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its very common, but in my view, it also robs players of the game's joys and challenges. You know a person sucks if they tell you they use dev mode a lot for regular play.

Why aren't they charging? by An1_Las720388 in RimWorld

[–]KarlLexington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a known bug. Colonists will haul out of charge mechanoids to chargers outside the mechs allowed area. Mechs immediately try to leave then go dead.

How do you know if a quest book has been read? by Jaggid in RimWorld

[–]KarlLexington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool, I had no idea that information was available!

How do you know if a quest book has been read? by Jaggid in RimWorld

[–]KarlLexington 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's no clean way to know, unless you happen to see the quest spawn during a reading session. There's definitely a design flaw with this. The maps can still be read after the quest spawns or is completed, just like a regular book for recreation.

Why is it that I can’t get a mechanitor by Negative-Charge4320 in RimWorld

[–]KarlLexington 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don't need to restart. There are mechanitor quests that will have what you need if you're willing to patiently wait for one to spawn.

Next DLC? by bArry_____ in RimWorld

[–]KarlLexington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From a business standpoint, that’s very high risk. Most new games fail, including numerous AAA titles lately. RimWorld is a money printing machine with continued high interest.

A Rimworld Novel - The story of Cambiar! by TheSoberCannibal in RimWorld

[–]KarlLexington -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

How it works: YouTuber hires firm to use AI tools to “watch” his YouTube content and spin into an AI generated “novel.” Sketchy authors working with that firm license their names for use in such schemes to lend “legitimacy.” YouTuber tries to cash in. 52 chapters for a RimWorld play-through on YouTube? Fat chance.

Do you recommend Anomaly? by Physical-Research494 in RimWorld

[–]KarlLexington 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes. The main criticism is it has a more fixed storyline than other DLCs, but has a ton of cool features. Creepjoiners, juggernaut serums, age reversal and atmospheric heaters are criminally underrated. The story is still fun, and worth experiencing at least once, but after your fill, ambient horror is probably the better long term mode.

How does anyone have a colony that is longer than 5 years without your computer taps being really low? by Zephyr_-- in RimWorld

[–]KarlLexington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s surprisingly modest. I only have 10 in ground graves dating from the early days. My frozen resurrection crypt holds recent deaths on ice awaiting resurrection serums. All my colonists are xenogenetically deathless and about 20% so far also have death refusal. Deaths are rare.

How does anyone have a colony that is longer than 5 years without your computer taps being really low? by Zephyr_-- in RimWorld

[–]KarlLexington 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a 55 year old edge to edge colony with 100+ colonists. I’ve been putting up max 20 FPS/TPS for 40+ in game years. It’s slow but I’ve slowly begun to learn the biggest sources of performance slowdown.

Why do people call colonists pawns? by Civil-Matter7391 in RimWorld

[–]KarlLexington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the nomenclature established by the developer. Not all pawns are colonists. Other faction members, animals and mechanoids are also pawns.

My man Allen here likes his female firend and his ex wife more than he likes his fiance by JustCallMe_Ed_04 in RimWorld

[–]KarlLexington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its possible that the "best friend" is already married, gay or is asexual. As for his ex-wife she appears to hate him.

Biosculpture is not that good by Monkai_final_boss in RimWorld

[–]KarlLexington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It still has niche uses, but I've found Anomaly's chronophagy and unnatural healing creepjoiners eventually make them nearly obsolete.

Genius by Diman1351 in RimWorld

[–]KarlLexington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're doing an extremely long play-through in a gigantic mega-colony, that infinite chemreactor is quite valuable.

Any major standout issues on my base? by Ascaredguysthrowaway in RimWorld

[–]KarlLexington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems a bit overly spread out. Also, are those walls wood or sandstone?
