[PC Game] Halforums House: RimWorld Character Creation Thread

(Blows note on harmonica) *Fweee
Ahem
La la la..

♫ WEEELLLLLLLLLL♫

Efficient Light
and Cheaper Components
and Organized Research Tab

There's Stack Manager
and Rimfridge too
and Extended Traits, cause they're fab

Without Prepare Carefully, this whole thing wouldn't work
And Trading Spot's essential to make caravans not jerks

AllowDeadMan'sApparel fixes something that shoulda already been there
And Change Dresser is great for storing clothes and changing hair

Where's the Gravel fixes an annoying artwork flub
And RT Fuse, cause spacers should know circuit breakers, bub

A Dog Said will help keep our pets healthy and super fit
And Hugslib is in there because basically other mods all just need it

See Deep Ores, because it's a QOL issue and no brainer
And Allow Tool just prevents me from going ever more insane-er

Set-up Camp's a must have for all your caravaning guys
I have Refugee stats, but for this, I don't think it applies

(since I'm turning off refugee events)

Balanced Neutroamine Production, so we can grow our meds
And Simple Sidearms so closing to melee doesn't make gunners instantly dead

AC Enhanced Crafting, for managing our crafts
And JTReplace walls is nice because the old way was quite daft

(Also Better Workbench Management)

Hardworking animals will make our pets all haul their weight
And SS Damage indicators makes combat really great

Headgear frame is nice but really purely just for looks
Heat map lets me make sure nobody accidentally cooks (or freezes)

I have Zombie Apocalypse but I don't think I'll use it this time, guys
Ditto for Packed Lunch, not quite as useful as I first surmised

Of course a number of hair mods that aren't important enough to tell
But Colony Manager is super fucking swell

(And I don't think I could do this without it)

RuntimeGC's just for addressing some late game performance probs
And to fix a retarded design decision, Billy's Improved Load Transport Pods

We're gonna lose some limbs and such, it's guaranteed, I'm fearing,
So we definitely will have Expanded Prosthetics and Organ Engineering

LT-Doormat will help keep our compound nice and neat
And from what I understand Additional Joy Objects is a treat.

So now, for Romance Diversified, I wait with baited breath
to figure out if it is workable, or will just fuck us all to death.

YouTube or twitch video of you singing this please.

Another thought if it's ok with @Celt Z , since we are forum twinsies you should make us in game siblings. :p
I was not aware we could do either of those things, but I'm all for it! (I was planning on calling my muffalo Bill, so it would help if it's a "he".)
Can do.

And if anyone else wants to be brothers/sisters/parents/offspring of anybody else in the game, I can make that happen too.

(Unfortunately I can't control what the muffalo will be named, though).

@figmentPez - Take 36 points for skills, not 27 :p
Crap. I'm suffering from some bad insomnia right now. I'll try to get around to fixing that, but I'm not sure I can tackle that without getting some sleep first, and I'm not sure when that's going to happen. Feel free to just throw random numbers in if you need to get me into the system.

You got time. I don't plan to launch the game until at least this weekend. I've been a zombie all day myself. Heh.

Shut up Dei.

Bob The Angry Flower is a guilty pleasure of mine. The politics don't ever agree with me, but the laughs are there to be had. This post reminds me of one of their comics:

If we are short in mining, take 2 from intellectual and 1 from social and boost my mining with them. I'll get the coal lung and be dead by the first year most likely.

Don't worry about it. Even people with 0 mining CAN mine. Only people who are "incapable of mining" would be unable to, and I don't think there's many like that.

Also, mining becomes a lot less important if the group doesn't crashland in a mountainous region.
 
You don't have to game, I'll game for you ;) I just need a description of your character, formatted as quoted above. I do everything else for you, you just sit back and read the resulting story.

How's that GB? Loosely based on myself at various ages.

Not to power-game too much ('cause that's not really the point of this, at least for me), but if we're that short on mining, I am totally happy switching all my previous cooking points into Mining instead.

We seem to have...too many cooks.

I really don't think mining will be a problem.

As for Cooks, trust me, when you have 40 mouths to feed twice a day, you can't have too many cooks.[DOUBLEPOST=1500941005,1500940908][/DOUBLEPOST]

Looks good! I'll get it worked up after I take care of some other stuff.

And, as I said, updates on the game proper will probably start next week.
 
Not really. I just send him gentle reminders every time I see him playing Rimworld at 1am his time. :p
I've also thought about poking him, but that would bring to light that I frequently haven't been getting to bed until 3-4a my time, even on days when I have to be to work by 9 the next day. :oops:

I was a night owl when I was a kid, but now if I don't get a solid 8 hours I am an absolute fucking mess the next day.

Which has been the case today. I got maybe 6 or 7, I think, and from the look of me you'd think I just walked through a carwash with the water turned off at the main.

Are you planning on sharing the scenario you create out of this via SteamWorkshop?
I actually would like you NOT to do that. If there's a way to share it "privately" (we're not exactly Reddit here for publicity), great, but that's different than "completely out there" IMO.

He should be able to share it "to friends only" on Steam, or share the scenario file directly (through gasbanditry.com or similar) and link it here. Those files should be in %AppData%\..\LocalLow\Ludeon Studios\RimWorld\Scenarios.
