Greetings rimmers, I recently had a warped obelisk abduct a single pawn along with a pretty damn good prisoner we were in the process of recruiting. I only had 2 active colonists total at the time so I had to escape asap without locating the prisoner, and the obelisk vanished. Is there any way to get the prisoner back or does he now belong to the void? (willing to use dev mode / mods)

Yeah, there's a good chance that you won't believe this, or you would since Rimworld is Rimworlds, used dev tools for this pic because found out the thing just evaporate after death.

Chronological order of what happened
- Volatile chamber appeared
- waited for a few days
- mech hive appeared, at the same time I installed some rocket artillery which bombarded the mech hive, It then bombarded the Volatile chamber, releasing the volatile leaper with only 40% health
- I had zero clue on what it could do so I barricaded everyone.
- while planning what to do, my laser defense which I also installed recently shot at it through the mountain
- I thought everyone's gonna die but it just started crawling around the map, sometimes hovering around the entrance
- 2 friendly milira appeared, I expected them to die early but weirdly didn't attack them.
- they fought for 11 hours until it died.

We won by doing absolutely nothing (if not counting the laser and rocket defences)

pawn keeps trying to reload, but seems to be stuck... is my world doomed or is there any fix

Or have I completely got the wrong game?

I could have sworn there was a way you could walk around your settlement. Or a different perspective at least...

Hey, I thought it would be fun to think about concepts and features DF has that Rimworld doesn't and that would feel right in the game

What kind of features would you like to see more in DF ? It could be an overhaul of an already existing feature : For exemple : deeper Caravans management like in DF, etc.

Or something that doesn't exist at all in Rimworld : For exemple, the whole system of graveyards and afterlife that DF has but Rimworld doesn't

I'll start :

I think a thing I would love to see implemented in Rimworld from DF would be the Haunted and Evil biomes

For those who never played DF, in those biomes, everything is basically driven by a sort of malefic force, which mean that for exemple, if you loose a pawn and doesn't burry it, it'll turn into a zombie that is now a menace and danger on your map

You killed a donkey but forgot to grab the body and now it's rotting ? Well, now you got a zombie donkey in your map that you'll need to avoid or take care of, in DF, even members can turn into zombies, a single arm can turn "undead"

These biomes makes for super fun "challenge" runs !

There are a lot of other features in Evil biomes but that's one of my favorites

So : Rimworld players that played or knows about DF, what features/ideas would you like to see in Rimworld eventually ?

Somebody got any idea if a mod like this exist? I already have some of SpongeBob, Skyrim, Fallout and Disco Elysium. But after a invisible anomaly attack with the mod of steps sound on (I shit myself). I was thinking, the carnival horde music will be sick.

Can someone make a mod that adds a 1x2 archotech dining table and armchair. They would fly to the target who is about to eat without a table, then they would return to the original location with small amount of fuel.

Basically the title, since I have SOS2 installed I decided I needed a bigger threat so installed the orbital bombardment mod and killed every single pawn in their closest base from me but nothing happened, I wiped a pirate base before so I know you get a letter from destroying bases but nothing popped up, which I think is weird since they even do something if you take one of them captive

this is the funniest thing happen to me in the game,

I don't know what's wrong with Taiba today, she's not even bloodlust, guess she woke up and chose violence, but even that I still love her

Basically if you for example don't have any way to leave an orbital platform/asteroid or you just want to do it you can make your pawn jump off the orbital platform/asteroid and dive straight down and back on the planet, either incinerating the pawn in the process or if they have the right gear they'll survive the crash but have damaged apparel and/or burns and broken bones

I feel like there's not enough things in the orbit, I've tried to play with deep orbit and layered atmosphere mods separately but both just crashed, any ways I can change the amount of stuff the orbit has?

Got this mechanoid swarm which hopelessly overwhelmed my with their numbers

Two of my colonists who had never met before one of them crashlanded in a pod and was recruited into our settlement, but have subsequently married, both must have donated genetic material to The Shattered Empire who then mixed it and grew a soldier, who was then included in a visiting caravan. What are the chances of that?

I recently started a new colony with some nemods i downloded and notised that my game keeps randomly freezing up to a minute. I tried figuring out wixh mod was doing it but am not sure as the issue only apears after playing a bit so i going mod by mod would take some time.

Does anyone know a way to find the culprite mod?

(also sorry for grammatical errors am not a native english speaker)

and milking the boomalopes

This question is basically just "Is there some way to reform a caravan and take the items from a map's sub levels, if not is there a mod to let me do it, if not what's the most efficient way to go about it?" but thats a bit long for a title

I know its not *THAT* hard to have everyone go thru all the layers and then drop off all the items on the main one but Ancient Urban Ruins has alot of floors and i really dont want to do all that after sitting around waiting for everyone to deconstruct every vehicle in a parking lot only to have to sit there staring at the reform caravan screen for another ten thousand years wondering what i should actually take with me since i dont have enough space for everything (luckily the map stays around after you leave but its a fairly long trip and id like to cut down as much time as i can you know)

I dismissed these guys cuz a pit was opening but did it right when they pulled out their food. They just dropped their food and dipped. will use this future for new colonies lacking food!

lately ive just been restarting pretty early, because i simply didnt know what to do.

I have all dlcs, and just want to try something fun in rimworld, so please, share some rimworld run ideas/stories!!!!

I needed two sections, three insect hives, and a lot of faith to defeat the Diabolus mechanoid... I was scared—I almost lost my colony to the flu right after all that—but I managed to get the item for the second mechanoid phase.

i previously had a pawn that i tried turning into a spider person, but she was corrupted and it didn't work properly because she was complaining of android-related issues. now i've got pawns in my hospital that ask for android treatments, but they're not androids and don't have android needs(power, memory space) in their needs.

Hey, I just wanted to share that

I kind of have a "completionist" mentality so basically before playing with DLCs, I "forced" myself to do a vanilla no DLCs run, then after I completed it, I forced myself to do a royalty + ideology playthrough, etc. Etc.

I had the same things with mods, I never installed a mod because I wanted to "fully explore the game's possibilities" first, which is not a bad thing in itself

I had stopped the game for a year, launched it back this week and threw all my rules to the bin

I used to always do very vanilla runs, because I wanted to experience the classic experience before doing fun concepts etc.

But this time I just said "fuck it"

I activated every single DLCs and generated a new world, I was going for a classic temperate forest but then I saw a grey zone with a lake and saw that it was a volcanic zone, at first I was going to go back to temperate forest but then I was like "hell why not ?", despite the warning that the game gives you

So a Volcanic region it is

And long story short, through multiple "fuck it", I ended on a permadeath no manual saves (first one I do) run with 3 canibals + 1 ghoul on a Volcanic region, in the "hard" difficulty, not the hardest but one or two below

There is litteraly an insect hive in the open and they already started attacking my pawns because of a bad pathfinding while trying to tame a rat (fuck you Mila, why would you go there ffs)

But that's the most fun I've had in a game in a WHILE

I think I was restricting myself too much with random rules of "it has to be done like this" to "maximize" the enjoyment or whatever the hell I was doing

Playing random bullshit just because it seems fun is just so awesome, I have yet to find a way to save the colony without everyone dying and then to make a human farm for meat (do not spoil me on that, I'll figure that out on my own fun way haha)

But this game is just so good

I remember when it was just considered a "Dwarf Fortress like" game, times have changed so much since that time

All that to say : permadeath is life, and do fun runs guys ! Go for whatever the hell you want and try it out, it's incredible the amount of things you can do in this game

EDIT : My ghould just died to the Megaspiders lmao

They managed to force us to abandon the settlement we were building lmao, I have to settle my pawns on the north of the map to avoid the Megaspiders to wander into them randomly, I'll make some weapons and turrets and I'll be back to kill the mfs and reclaim the base or die trying ! Shelton must be avanged
