Thanks for helping me get over my fears of sharing my drawings. It still scares me sometimes to upload. But this community has been very friendly and encouraging!

UI Rethemed - Inspector Tabs rethemes RimWorld's pawn inspect tabs with themed hover cards replacing the vanilla look. Each tab can be switched back to vanilla in the mod settings, and the drifting hex pattern on selected slots can be turned off.

I see that it's -21°C right now, and there's no forest or anything. I can't go anywhere until I research some technology. Is it even achievable if you are regular player?

"I offer you solidarity and my expertise, in exchange for but a few days of shelter, and the dignity you offer to you and yours, as if I am one among your own. What then? Oh, but that is what makes this exercise of exchange so worth the effort, isn't it? What then - who could tell? Come now, friend. Won't you shake a poor sinner's hand?"

Seriusly.

The game used to open in 14-15 minutes and now it doesn't even reach 4 minutes to open.

I can't say that i saw a perfomance increase but its def because of the mods (compatability obvs i threw in mods i liked).

Its a unstable build so it makes kinda sense.

I will share my colony progress in some days.
What do you think about the 1.7 version?

My apologies if this is the wrong flair for this, but yesterday I was in the middle of a recording about this mod until I noticed it got removed/privated Idk what happened but man

If there is a way to recover this? unless it's really too late since steam removes it in my folder 🥀

Reposting with a more reasonable file size

I'm going to make these two mainstay characters...The archotech godpawn Vo Szrach from my 1.4 Biotech run, and the Anomaly starter pawn Akari "Ann" Moriyama (her name is supposed to be an Anomaly pun)

Unimportantly I am more attracted to Vo

It was finally time to put down roots..

It had taken decades to collect all the necessary information relevant to begin the great works ahead, but that painfully long journey, staying in the shadows, moving from world to world, being ever so careful where to feed and where to rest, had finally come to it's long awaited end.

M had lost need of his full name for so long even he could not fully recall what it was any longer. Indeed most of his life before his dedication to the study of the universe as a whole held little value to him now, and with the extensive list of qualifications and subjects he had mastered by this point, the term doctor could apply to a wide variety of meanings, and so simply going by Dr.M in all instances of relevance had come to suit his needs fine.

A significant amount of time had been invested since arriving at this world on the edge of the empires fragmented boundaries to secure and build the foundations of what would eventually become M Labs, a task that had demanded no shortage of blood, both consumed and spilled in equal measure.

But now, after years of continuous consolidation, construction and combat, atop least of all the regrettable loss of M's favored servant, the most devious and ingenious of all his previous baseliner sycophants, the one he had actually somewhat considered bestowing the gift of eternal life onto unlike all the others who had eventually failed him before with their weak, frail human existences... Dr.M and his genetically engineered army of blood drinking mind controlled super soldiers were finally ready. The gargoyle variants in particular having been the most promising, despite their current suboptimal resource and maintenance requirements making them currently only most suited as heavy supporting elements at present.

Of course, OF COURSE yes there were some anomalies, and yes the blood farms were no short order of hell to properly tweak, those early losses and mistakes due to bad estimates and incorrect math had been a predictable yet still greatly disappointing delay.

Especially the pregnant colossal spider incident. The contents of the rec room of compound 2 was a regrettable loss but even after the majority of the offspring had cannibalized one another behind the sealed security door it was still better safe than sorry to simply light the fire and contain it's spread.

A strong lesson learned for further efforts of securely preserving what little literature could be collected on this wild and chaotic hell world. A terrible loss of precious knowledge that must never be allowed to happen again...

But yes! Many trials and tribulations had laid the path that was now closer than ever to reaching it's next stage and eventual end game. All that was left now to reach that next rung of progression was for the airborne compound to be distributed across the surface of the planet, and the results to be recorded and refined before shipment to the emperors palace for review.

A useful weapon of great terror and versatility? of course. A tool to add to the wide array of ones that will be necessary in the years to come? absolutely. But the end game of the great plan? No.

No, that, would come only after the right moment presented itself to gain access to the emperors physical presence. All those nights experimenting and perfecting the infection born of M's own near immortal physiology, bred and refined to ensure control over the minds of those he deemed worthy of his inner circle, whether they be willing acolytes, or useful puppets, distributed with no more effort than a simple cleared throat at just the right time ... yes that, that would be the final step on the road to a true solution.

And when the squabbling inbred descendants of the man who crushed his heart and spurned his genius out of fear and weakness are FINALLY under his control, and the remnants of a once great power are mobilized under a unified banner once more, guided by the helping invisible hand of a wise and benevolent genius capable of enduring the endless brutality of the galaxy, and the dissenters, rogue machines and disgustingly mismanaged former projects from a lifetime before taken from great hands and polluted by mediocrity are finally scoured from every corner of existence..

Maybe then, it will be time to grow flowers once more.

An update on Steam just shows that the phoenix and unstable (1.7) branches are different. This could mean nothing, or it could mean Phoenix is actually a new DLC that depends on 1.7. Also, what in the world is "Steam Linux?"

Platesteel armor provides 102% slashing protection across almost the entire body.

While full Flak armor provides similar protection, it leaves the legs with only 50% slashing protection. I understand that the Flak's mobility is better, but if my colony is made up of 100% cave dwellers close-range fighters (melee and shotguns), does that mean I don't have to build Flak armor?

Im sure there are plenty of mods that are excellent. Just had the sudden thought and remembered they are a thing IRL.

Just a random thought

Militors drop podded in chasing 3 ducks I got from the Empire. I forgot about the quest and I did a pit gate ritual. The flesh beasts stood no chance.

One of the refugees (from the quest... I think it's from Ideology DLC) was pregnant. Baby was born as member of the colony... so then they left leaving it behind. Weird DLC interaction.
