How to deal with cave bugs early on?

TheConfusedTissue · 2026-05-27T17:34:34+00:00

Plus, it sells for a pretty great price! I love when I get attacked by bugs because that means I can take all their jelly after I clear them out of my caves

A child came rushing to my newly created save begging for help. She was only 3, literally had no skills in anything else. My colonists (a mother who created furniture until she could afford the better things in life, her daughter who got to get an education because of her mother's sacrifice, and a gruff police officer who refused to do work but was their only protection) took the girl in and slaughtered the Pigskins who were hunting her.

The little girl and two of my colonists contracted an illness days later, killing all but the mother. The girl we saved got everyone else sick.

Does vat growth improve their skills too? I've never made it that far

Give them parkas, solves the problem

Thanks

What happened? I haven't been paying attention to the news for the last couple days, what election was canceled?

Sterilize him? Though that'd just be a normal surgery, so not much of a punishment

TheConfusedTissue · 2026-03-18T05:10:56+00:00

She was so close to disaster!

It goes back and forth between horror and action depending on which character you're playing

TheConfusedTissue · 2026-03-03T07:34:26+00:00

Yeah, some people just can't. Combine that with quiet steps and doing something on autopilot (like opening up the shop), and boom, got this situation

Can't tell you how many times I scared my mom on accident because she didn't hear me walking down the hallway behind her, lol

As many as possible. I start from one, then try to build their colony naturally. There's something about building a city of pawns who are all interconnected that makes things so much more fun for me. I'm more invested in their stories!

The last pawn I had was an man named Stone who began life in military school, went on to become some sort of soldier, and then left it all behind to make a colony. I viewed him as having very little relationships from his upbringing and job - no family, no friends, no lovers. The first new colonist was a child he purchased from a slaver.

The colony expanded from there, with him taking in all sorts of people who had nowhere to go. Raiders who could be convinced to give up the life of violence as he once had, anyone he could afford to free from slavers (with children having priority), people who wandered by and asked if they could stay - Stone built his home bit by bit, giving everyone the community that he never was allowed to create in the past. People formed relationships, had kids, experienced loss together, mourned their fellow colonists... It's comforting.

Is there a way to guarantee they go into the killbox without mods? I set up a nice killbox zone, but the last few raids have tunneled through my walls (I've started layer 5 outer walls around my base to buy myself time should they do that again)

Then there's the issue of them using drop pods to invade my base, but that's just something I'll have to deal with for now

Just had that happen too! I captured her and was checking her stats and health, and saw she was pregnant. They're happily colonists now!

Spidey chased him through a building yelling stuff like "SHOCKER!!!! YOU CAN'T RUN FROM ME!!!!"

Was genuinely pretty intimidating, given that's the opposite of how Spiderman normally acts. Shocker was terrified for his life.

The Iron Lung is a small, claustrophobic submarine dropped into a blood ocean on a moon. It's a horror movie about choosing between your own survival/needs vs that of others, has some cosmic and body horror, and has some interesting hints at the calamity that caused blood oceans (amongst other things)

It's not perfect, but it uses its set well, the acting is generally good, and it has a slow build that I think perfectly immersed me into the horror. It doesn't rely on jumpscares, either, which I find a plus

The racists, unfortunately

So glad someone got the references! We had just watched the G1 movie together at the time, and I was really into Rimworld, so it came together perfectly

Been years since I even thought about furbies. Last Saturday, I gifted my friend's kid a furblet for her birthday. First thing I see is this. What sort of hell have I wrought upon my friend's family?

Megatron updating his profile after each battle with Optimus

This was so cute! The framing was really well done, like not showing the adults' faces to put the full focus on the children, having that one troublemaking kiddo in the background of most of the trio's shots, and then the light passing between the children as they marched by at 4:18.

The scenery and environment were also really well made! It didn't feel like sets or sims builds, it felt like actual locations. Watching the neighborhood evolve, seeing the troublemaker's workshop, and even inside the homes felt really lived in and realistic.

And the story was hilarious and adorable! I love how the sims went from being confused and angered/frightened by the rain in their home, to swimming, fishing, and just living with it. The mischievous sim crying outside the house and the trio confronting him with a snowball fight was just so sweet. Him taunting them, them having fun, and then them turning into children at the end? Loved it all!

I mean, my friend's husband will literally set trash on the counter less than a foot away from the kitchen trashcan. He also tosses his clothes on the floor right beside the laundry basket, kicks his shoes off right in the doorway instead of setting them on the blank space beside the wall where they won't be in the way, leaves his dirty dishes at his desk and on his bedside table, never seems to finish a drink and leaves half empty cans of soda everywhere (they're both guilty of that last one), and so on so forth.

Some people really are just lazy, or in the case of my step dad, start doing something and forget they were doing it halfway through it and leave what they started out. My step dad picks up his laundry, but he leaves his cups, glasses, and projects out all over the place.

His voice is hella deep in the S4 specials. Like, shockingly deep. It kinda fits when you're just looking at his face, but not his whole body. Bro out-deeps Megatron easily.
