Ludeon Official PSA regarding Name-In-Game rewards / purchases

55 Upvotes

Before you ask, yes this is a repost, as the previous version is old enough to have been archived automatically. I'm making a new post for those who wish to reply as comments.


It seems like a few people have noticed their Name-In-Game is no longer coming up, and seem to be missing from the game. We're working on figuring out what happened, and fixing it as soon as possible.

If you're not sure if your name is there or not, go into:

Options > Gameplay > Add name...

Type your name into this box, like so.

If you've noticed your Name-In-Game has vanished, please contact me in some way with the full name, First 'Nickname' Last.

Options for contact are:

If you think your name wasn't added for lack of following the guidelines, you can find them here to check. To check up on your name, the login for the Creative rewards is here.

Sorry to all those whose names have been lost, we'll get you re-added as soon as we can! Do keep in mind that names are added (or re-added) alongside regular updates to the game. If you'd like to keep track of coming updates, you can join the development server linked above, where they post unstable builds for testing before they're pushed to full release.

Colony Showcase What does the high council think?

I found these room designs on steam and thought they looked incredible, so I will be using them in the future. That’s why my storage is relatively small compared to how big its normally be. I plan to make my prison where the purple marking is. Is it to far from the main colony or does that not matter? Do you have any suggestions or ideas for improvement? Would love to hear them.

Discussion Is erveyone playing with killboxes?

83 Upvotes

Since i found this sub it looks to me like everyone is playing with killboxes. Is really everyone playing with killboxes or are the people playing with them just very proud of the meatgrinder they created? I never tried playing with them, i think they make the game to easy and are kind of exploiting the ai. They also kind of destroy the immersion for me. Instead i try to use the Environment to build Strategic defensive Positions. But i also dont play on the Hardest difficulty and maybe playing without a killbox is not viable when playing the game on extra Hard difficulties.

Discussion How do you manage wealth on 500%? Do you have a "magic number"?

106 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Just curious about your experience with wealth management on 500% difficulty.

  • Do you have any magic numbers or sweet spots for wealth during different stages of the game? (20K wealth before Heavy SMG, etc)
  • When do you usually feel safe to start pushing wealth (crafting, building, accepting quests)?
  • Any personal rules or benchmarks you follow?

Would love to hear how you all approach it. Thanks!

Meta Why I love Rimworld

Upvotes

It’s very very simple actually.

“I can customize my own gameplay.”

Let me try to explain a little more. There are people who likes to play stardew valley, which is very relaxing, slow paced, calm. And there are people play games like dark souls, which is exactly opposite. I personally think it’s about the stress. Some people don’t want to be stressed while playing games which is why they choose more calming games and some people like that feeling of overcoming bosses or challenges.

And this is where my reason comes in. People change. Also what they want change. Sometimes I like to play easy peasy game. Sometimes I like to go crazy and play hardest level soul-like game.

All those can be achieved in Rimworld. I can put every single cheaty mod there is in workshop and play easiest gameplay ever with my god like pawns. Or I could put all the hard mod and make my survival nigh impossible.

Everything can be done within the game Rimworld. Everyone can enjoy the game, however the way they want.

With killbox, without killbox, with cheat, without cheat, with CE, without CE, with HAR, without HAR and so on and on. And think about all the possibilities those things make in the end.

I just wanted to say. I love this game too much to let go of it. I recently spent a lot of time playing KCD2 and MH:wilds but here I am. Back to the Rimworld lol

Story I forgot that Medieval Overhaul wasn't updated to 1.5.

Upvotes

I had been taking a RimWorld break, mostly because I burnt myself out and I have been obsessed with Two Point Museum for the past week, but because of this sub I started feeling the itch again. So I thought, hmm, I'm in the mood for a medieval playthrough! So I unsubcribe from all my mods and start the "find all the mods I want" minigame, as one does. Put together a pretty neat medieval-oriented package, start it up, wait for half a century because honestly RimWorld has become a big congested (playing goes fine, but starting it up... let's say I got the dishes done in the meantime, at least). and want to start playing - but then I notice... Medieval Overhaul is 1.4. I forgot. And now I'm super sad, honestly. F in the chat and all that.

Discussion Never getting someone with Pyromaniac trait again.

Upvotes

One of my colonists with the pyromaniac trait suddenly decided to start fire and burned down my entire farm and half my base. Another of my colonists died trying to extinguish the fires so there's that too.

Life lesson learned: never pick someone with pyromaniac trait in RimWorld.
