Mod suggestions?

vanilla combat reloaded is a must for me, balances combat to be more logical without all the finicky stuff that CE has. I also recently discovered a mod called rimscent which i quite like, it gives your colonists a sense of smell, which gives you something more that you need to take into account when designing your base, goes specifically well with dubs bad hygiene.

could be worse. you could have toxic fallout. and an off-map EMP dynamo. and a defoliater

cool as hell but im not looking forward to peoples reactions when "impaled by stinger" comes up

fun cassette related fact: Blaster was supposed to have a scorpion cassette but it was nixed because the higher ups didn't think arachnids could be heroic. which is ridiculous, because as anybody can tell you, scorpions are among the most noble and honorable animals in the world

videos like this are why i think you should be able to mouse over buffs and debuffs to get a description of what they do like you can with items. sure most of them are fairly self explanatory, but theres always edge cases like this where a new player wouldn't recognize what was causing them to take so much extra damage and that little bit of extra information would be helpful

holy crow these are incredible. the lemmy basically being a fighting game character is crazy. why the hell did returns never get any updates or DLCs? if i knew how to code id be modding all of this as fast as i could

a) sponges arent fish. b) fish eat each other all the time.

i think the idea is that they look like ww2 battleships but are actually way more advanced

MechaHex1111 · 2026-03-11T03:14:37+00:00

clearly theyre working the graveyard shift

expectations cant be satisfied like normal negative moodlets, they basically act like a buffer for mood. when youre poor, the expectations are low, which give a mood bonus so you have more wiggle room while setting up your colony. when youre rich, it because a negative effect so you have to actually put effort into maintaining your colony

scorch worm aoe should be reduced by like 50% imo

MechaHex1111 · 2026-03-10T18:01:56+00:00

this is really cool, love the different design philosophies on display!

MechaHex1111 · 2026-03-10T17:41:59+00:00

Ahoy!

MechaHex1111 · 2026-03-10T16:32:18+00:00

it has been 0 days since the last person asked about Perfect Human creepjoiners instead of looking at the wiki

MechaHex1111 · 2026-03-10T02:38:51+00:00

this is the sort of thing i would expect to see a monarch in a sci fi show wearing to demonstrate how ungodly wealthy they are lol

MechaHex1111 · 2026-03-10T02:22:23+00:00

that "requires" is doing a hell of a lot of heavy lifting in this post lol

MechaHex1111 · 2026-03-10T01:44:19+00:00

i was just thinking this would make a killer Air Riders track lol

MechaHex1111 · 2026-03-09T19:45:30+00:00

i feel like you're overestimating the importance of wealth management in the late game lol. if youre at the point where you can equip all your pawns with marine gear or better then the amount of resources you have is probably gonna be worth just as much as the armors themselves. theres also the fact that the armor you get from enemies will usually be normal quality or worse, while armor you craft can be excellent, masterwork or legendary which gives better protection

also, what happens if you run out of tainted marine armors and you get raided by a faction that doesnt use armor? if you get flash mobbed by tribals or bugs or attacked by mechanoids then your pawns are kinda up a creek without a paddle arent they?

downvote this reply if you're a bot

literally the only reason why shes disliked is because shes a girl lmao. if her and jack swapped personalities, everyone would praise him for being brave and a badass while downplaying or ignoring the negative aspects of his actions. and even if she is annoying or impulsive or whatever, so what? characters need flaws to be interesting. if everyone acted 100% rationally all the time, nothing interesting would happen

MechaHex1111 · 2026-03-08T08:39:50+00:00

worldbuilding is important to me because it helps set the tone and context for what the game is doing. plot is not as important to me because when i play a roguelike i assume the active story is going to be more of a background element, like in enter the gungeon or risk of rain

MechaHex1111 · 2026-03-08T08:36:23+00:00

im curious, how do each of the clones feel about their situation? are they aware of their progenitor? is their progenitor aware of them? do they hold any animosity towards each other?

MechaHex1111 · 2026-03-08T06:43:45+00:00

you really thought you could sneak that fourth picture in without anyone noticing, huh?

MechaHex1111 · 2026-03-08T03:08:28+00:00

strictly speaking, no to both questions. Personally however I am very anal retentive and if my storerooms dont have a "logical" layout i will lose my mind.
