If you have an effort post about a game mechanic then this is also fine space for that but please consider making a separate subreddit post for maximum visibility.

Ludeon Official PSA regarding malicious mods

1.5k Upvotes

Update: There is another PSA posted on why I am asking people to contact me rather than Steam's report function. This announcement is more important, and Reddit will not let me leave both up, so I am putting the link here so it is more visible.


Hello, everyone. This is me not as moderator-Sneaks, but as community manager-Sneaks.

I just want to give a warning to everyone. There's currently a user on the workshop that keeps making new accounts, steals mods from other creators, and modifies them to bypass the user's protections to download malware.

There's been at least two so far that have been removed (with workshop ID to make it easier to check your Workshop folder):

CameraSettingsMod 3732329298

Mad Skills Rewritten 3729397065

For now, it's difficult to tell if a mod's doing these shady things until it's downloaded and the code is checked. With both of these, though, it's been:

  1. The scammer's only mod on the workshop

  2. The mod is a reupload / stolen version

  3. The scammer's profile is set to private.

However, these are not 100% indicators that the mod is malicious. Please do not use it as a reason to go harass modmakers - There are always new players, new modders. But it's enough to say take it with a grain of salt, double-check to make sure the mod isn't a reupload.

For now, please take the time to do a check of your own computer, make sure you're clean, especially if you used either of those two mods mentioned above.

If you spot any others, please let us know so they can be removed. You can message me here, or find me on both Steam and Discord as someonesneaky.

Stay safe out there, colonists. o7

It's a pigskin doodle,

I just felt like drawing one

I've actually been trying to draw pigskins for quite a while now.

I guess drawing anthropomorphic animals is still pretty challenging for me, haha.

PC Help/Bug (Mod) All of my male goblins have zero chances to romance the women?

Post image
Upvotes

Title. To be clear I play modded, obviously - all of my gnoblins have the same genes, exactly the same, they're heterosexual and age compatible, but both of my male goblins cannot romance the women and vice versa. It doesn't tell me why. I have no way of finding out and I don't want to cheat it out. All of them have negative compatibility for some reason. All of them. They're friends, like each other, but they can't romance each other :/ any idea?

Discussion Breeding the best xenotype

Post image
681 Upvotes

Hello, I am doing a challange where I want to breed the best xenotype out of existing xenotypes. There are 6 in total so 2 xenotypes will have a more influence than the other four. How would you go about doing this? Mainly I'm interested in which genes you think should be prioritised for inheritence and which genes should be bred out.

TLDR how would you breed all xenotypes to keep the best genes in the end?

Can I put jade fence in big greenhouse to make them more beautiful?

They are so big that the game doesn't count as a room.

In this case, can I fence only the edges? Or do I need to distribute the fencing evenly throughout the greenhouse in any free spaces?

#ColonistLife Rim babies

95 Upvotes

This game really makes you sleep in the bed you make.

Playing on Medieval Overhaul.

I started with 8 pawns - I made sure each pawn was married to another, so 4 married couples. I thought that this was smart cause it would give them all a mood boost, especially if they are mostly compatible, I could build less housing, and I could also get some babies in the colony. Well that decision was my colonies downfall, doomed before the game started.

First year was a breeze. We got established, and had a surplus.

Second year - 3 babies are born. "Oh nice, we got some new pawns!"

By year eight, I had a total of 5 kids and 7 babies. Prior to year eight, one of my colonists died from the flu, and another from child birth.

So at this point I had 6 adult pawns supporting 5 kids and 7 babies, so 12 young ones altogether. My pawns were stressed, I was stressed, but we were making it work.

Well, the AI treated my colony as a city of 18, and sent waves of attackers, about 30-35 attackers each assault. And that was the end of my colony, and a lesson learned.

Mod Release Casualties: Rimknown - Sound Cannon Mod

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

412 Upvotes

Created my first-ever mod! Now y'all who have played Casualties: Unknown can subject both enemy and friendly pawns to the operation end of a Sound Cannon.

Proper balancing for this mod is to be figured out.... at a later date :L

Steam Workshop Link: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3768377243

GitHub Repo: https://github.com/Creeperslayers6/casualtiesrimknown-soundcannon

This mod only adds two sound cannon variants, the related hediffs, research projects, and the storyteller incident.

The actual Experiment Xenotype in the video are from Erin's Experiments!

Current mod support right now only consists of getting the custom blood textures from custom genes from Vanilla Expanded Framework. If there are more mods that allow for custom Xenotypes with other custom blood textures, someone's gotta tell me.

Story Colonist ran over a bunny with a car and he fucking died from the impact

Upvotes

Okay, so I sent over a caravan in a Roadrunner. One guy driving, one guy is a bodyguard in case of an ambush. Ambush happened, two manhunter bunnies.

I will be perfectly clear here. The passanger has marine armor and a plasma sword and health at 10000%.

I signaled the car to run over the bunny. Passanger instantly dies. Says he was beaten to death. Check the death report. Nothing's there.

Did the bunny fucking explode in his throat or what?
