it is too late, I have depicted you as the woods bison and myself as the plains bison

I like boomalope farms early game if I can get them, but at a certain point I just need more chemfuel and less wood.

I always rush Shield Belts, Long Blades, Flak Armor, and Gun Turrets in that order. It doesn’t matter what else you have in your colony if you can’t defend it. Beyond that, Biofuel refining is mandatory for Mortars (and generators, though I usually keep them as emergency power and transition to other power sources when I have the time), then IEDs.

With all these various avenues of defense, you can start branching out into the Sterile Tiles and Hospital Beds to upgrade your cleanrooms.

Psychite Tea, Beer Brewing, and other complex drugs are then important to maintain your pawns mental health. Flake and Yayo should seem repulsive due to their unsafe addictiveness, but research them anyway. You can sustain a psychite addicted pawn harmlessly with tea. And Go-Juice (a fantastic painkiller for emergencies) requires yayo.

After that, you’re gonna want some mining tech, as you’ve likely depleted your metal deposits on your map at this point.

Then? Research whatever. I like grabbing jump packs at this point and upgrading my melee pawns to locust armor and plasteel swords / uranium hammers. But maybe you want marine armor and pulse charged rifles for your gunners. Or better turrets for your automated defenses.

Don’t neglect the combat support items like Smokepop and Firefoam packs either, they’re worth the trouble.

I think it means you’re submissive and breedable. I can’t follow all these different kink labels though, so who knows.

true on the only good mobile games not being mobile games, though you’re wrong about the number being small. Emulation means that entire console libraries are available. I’ve been plinking away at the SNES library for the past couple of years on my phone and am still spoiled for choice.

except the ones made from potatoes and cheese, those are just soup

what do you mean? electricity is purple

With the oddysey expac coming out soon, Rimworld at the easiest settings & Phoebe storyteller mode might just fit the bill. I low key kinda love growing crops and sending the elephants off to sell them. You could make a whole colony around growing stuff and ranching, and then using the upcoming travel overhaul to distribute your goods and upgrade your base & ship to reach further and sell more.

both is good, i choose both

Oh, I remember Her Story! Great little experience that one

Nooo!

it’s the better video game IMO. Even after the steam release of DF, Rimworld is a lot more approachable and has more player direction (including multiple end goals). Dwarf fortress isn’t trying to compete as a video game, though, it’s doing its own thing as a dwarf sim that you just so happen to be able to play. I’ve incidentally learned so much about metallurgy because of needing to look up what black bronze is and what I need to fit my dwarves in some cool armor

BIRD SPOTTED

I crave attack pigeons, Tynan

fuck, I totally coulda used one, you’re so right. I would’ve had the go-juice ready the day after my hussar died too

Having just lost my first hussar to go-juice deficiency (year 2 on a permanent winter map), that spilled go-juice makes me upset

honest question. What’s stopping mainstream gamers from just playing the best codblops for the rest of their lives? Is there really any draw to these newer releases every time?

I still like warframe, even though it has a few headaches in there that make it more annoying than it needs to be. I don’t want to trade my ducat fodder or passive rep for slots and potatoes every time a new update comes out. But I do like dressing up my space dolls and blasting my trumna for hours on end

ooh, very nice. I’ve pretty much only ever used carpets for color, but this might sway me to use up all the dyes I inexplicably hoard a full 3 stacks of at all times

damn, I really needed that +40 catharsis boost, too. Ah well. Is the burnt umber color from a mod?
