It's always good to have the game running at 900tps and then hear a very large explosion while watching someone hunting and then move back to see your colony is no longer a thing

Can't emphasize enough how hard it is

That was just a self imposed rule, see part 1

Past day 120 so no more mining, we have to be fully self sufficient. We grow cotton to make clothes, which we sell for construction materials to expand. Part one

I did that on my first run. It was in fact not that hard as back then animal migrations were insanely large. But then after an update all solar panels were gone as they'd increased in size. Eventually I continued but had already gotten accustomed to some qol mods like moody and numbers so just continued modded.

Always smokin'hot relationships on the rim

This should be achievable by relatively simple modding. What I usually do is make way more quality meals than simple meals, and place them last in the jobs list. So only when the chef runs out of ingredients, will he start making simple meals. They can't eat what's not there.

Bed rest at a higher priority than tending can lead to this

Welcome to the club. Over 7000 hours and I still forget to turn on survival meals during caravans

A psychic ship landed in the East, where there's no vegetation. We fired at it with 20 explosive shells. We accepted a mission getting 3 sieges, the 1st successfully set up below the ship and fired incendiary shells at us. The next 2 sieges arrived right next to the ship. We called for friendlies to finish off the ship (now at 19%), they landed right next to it and destroyed it. Mission accomplished! The mechanoids now went for the siegers, but were outnumbered and took heavy losses. The siegers then went after the mechanoids coming for the base. Then only the Apocriton (the what?) remained when the siegers fled, so my heroes took it out. zoomed out view

That's something you'd never hear me say. Please don't suggest I would. It hadn't even occurred to me.

In fact it's quite the opposite, self-ridicule for those whom, like myself, have played ridiculous amounts of hours of RimWorld and recognise the fun about that.

How am I going to get that unstable power cell out of there?
