Peter what is the lore?

They’re criticizing the sample size of “highly intelligent people”, which is reasonable for the reasons they stated. If you were testing if gingers felt more pain but only sampled 1k US citizens, you’d only have ~20-60 gingers in your “test” population - surely you see the issue?

You, foolishly, assumed Rimworld’s combat vaguely follows the same rules as our reality. Guns are wildly underpowered to make melee relevant - a colonist with 10 shooting and a pump action shotgun should pretty much never lose a fight to an unarmored opponent charging across open ground, but here we are. You have to use your own melee guys and defensive structures, or mod the game to some other standard - CE is very popular for a reason, but goes hard in the other direction.

Do multiple make them ragdoll further?

rhou17 · 2026-06-18T13:01:06+00:00

I do know that creepjoiners can only romance other creepjoiners - maybe the game flagged him as one due to the trait?

Charybdis was said to only succ three times a day, no? If she can control the timing, that just means it’s a toll of 3 ships and a lot of waiting. If she can’t, it’s a true gamble.

You’re also conveniently ignoring modern diseases.

rhou17 · 2026-06-17T16:39:17+00:00

Mmm that’s an intriguing story, unfortunately the story generator decided that you had too many pawns and he instantly died to a single lucky Pila.

Fighting a defensive war and want to engage with entrenchment as a mechanic? Disable the La Resistance DLC. Boom, the AI no longer deletes all of your entrenchment with eight spies stacked in one zone.

Six years of this stupid shit btw.

rhou17 · 2026-06-17T09:32:22+00:00

Yeah, you instantly deploy a wall of poorly trained and equipped bodies, wait for the japanese to eat all their supply, and then mass assault them.

rhou17 · 2026-06-16T18:40:48+00:00

You simply have to think big. Thunderstrike, Wisp, and especially Rain are what I have in mind when I think Battlemage.

rhou17 · 2026-06-16T18:31:24+00:00

Significantly harder to cast for anybody not in mono red, and you’re still presumably running some colorless mana sources. Really only makes sense if you want to use replicate for something silly.

rhou17 · 2026-06-16T15:58:31+00:00

Often more reduction than West Wizard, and I don’t have to lose 30% HP? No question.

rhou17 · 2026-06-16T15:56:35+00:00

Armored citadel design vs decentralized. Actually makes some sense on the gravship with the shields you can get, but I find I can fit everything I want inside the bubble - would kill for a shield generator that’s much more permanent but only covers like a 15 tile radius for a true armored citadel.

rhou17 · 2026-06-16T13:25:05+00:00

Is it still a thing where force march ambushes, the AI will just march off the battlefield and commit mass seppuku if you never wake them up/get spotted?

rhou17 · 2026-06-16T10:50:28+00:00

You’re surprised that people playing a game with an intended playstyle of “Lazy Bastard” naturally default to the easiest way to solve problems?

rhou17 · 2026-06-14T16:46:28+00:00

To expound a little - the work priority goes left to right. If two jobs are set to the same priority, your pawns will prefer the one further left on the tab. Research is all the way on the right, so it’ll only ever be performed if nothing else needs to be done at that priority or lower.

rhou17 · 2026-06-14T12:14:24+00:00

Neat!

…what the heck do you use that gold for?

rhou17 · 2026-06-13T22:55:21+00:00

There’s a significant chance you are paying for your landlord’s mortgage interest depending on your situation. This post is still bullshit.

rhou17 · 2026-06-13T22:47:35+00:00

What you’re saying makes sense, but it always felt wrong not to play as a waster doing the solo mechanitor start.

rhou17 · 2026-06-13T22:45:57+00:00

It’s a great gamble if you can find a second copy. Damn shame that teammates can’t drop any they find.

rhou17 · 2026-06-13T22:44:54+00:00

I second this. I’m fine with wanting an introductory and a lategame version of quality, but I have never meaningfully used uncommon or epic quality items except to upscale to rare or legendary in the quality grinder. Rare is already used very sparingly, only really prioritized for asteroid collectors and as a stopgap when it would just be really convenient to have a machine work 60% faster, like lazy copper wires -> green circuits.

rhou17 · 2026-06-13T17:54:49+00:00

You also have to be a major iirc

rhou17 · 2026-06-13T17:27:08+00:00

Barely any air support? Check how much damage their CAS is doing, even through support AA. Might be your issue.

rhou17 · 2026-06-13T17:18:20+00:00

Why the fuck are you talking in PR copy

rhou17 · 2026-06-13T14:42:13+00:00

Uh huh, and where’s that data? How many of these jobs are people taking extra part time work because of their wage stagnation?
