RimWorld Just my imagination of how scyther and lancer would look like

So as most of you have probably noticed there is a feature where if a part will be destroyed by an incoming projectile, ex: a 29 health part get hits by a 30 damage charge lance shot, it has a chance to be left with 1 hp.

This is only true if the damage is within a certain threshold of the parts health, I think it's if the damage is within 50% above the parts health then there is a chance the part will be left with 1 hp. So for a 29 health part, you would need to do more than 43.5 damage. Although I don't have the code in front of me so 50% may be incorrect.

It appears this was added to make life easier for players, so that rather than have a pawn lose a leg they will instead be left with a 1 hp leg that can heal back to full or near full. Although I've yet to see it ever happen to one of my pawns, and I've been playing since around b17~ b18.

While this usually isn't an issue, as a 1 hp part is near useless, it does become an issue with centipedes.

Centipedes' body rings are responsible for their manipulation and movement, also each ring is attached to the previous ring. So if the first body ring is destroyed the centipede will lose all manipulation and movement, which causes instant death for mechanoids.

Given the high hp of a centipedes' body parts, it is EXTREMELY likely that any given body part will be left with 1 hp by a shot that should have destroyed that part. While this isn't an issue for damage to the brain or reactor, it is an issue with the body rings because even if the first body ring is at 1 hp, all other body rings will function as if there has been no vital damage.

Ultimately this feature makes centipedes even more tanky then they already are, and the odds of it occurring is extremely biased in favor of centipedes. As such I would like to mod it out.

I haven't seen any mods that address this feature, and I do not know where the relevant code for this feature is located. If anyone could point me in the right direction I would be happy to release a mod removing this feature.

Here's a little Scyther I drew, perhaps a bit taller than you'd expect

Turns out chemfuel is highly flammable

Posted: 16 Mar 2020 04:51 AM PDT

Yesterday I lost one of the best colonies I've had thanks to a tantrum. In my save I had just finished building a fabrication bench after my caravan came back with a bunch of compacted machinery, and I felt very proud of myself. Randy had yet to show his true intent.

At this point I was also harvesting organs after realizing how much you can sell them for. I was destined for greatness, this was going to be my strongest colony yet.. Until one of my colonists decided that this was too much, she had a tantrum, I thought nothing of it, in hindsight I should have seen this coming. Minutes before the same pawn had a tantrum and decided to punch one of my turrets until it exploded and killed two of my boomalopes and blew one of her legs of. This could have been avoided I thought to myself but no major damage done, she is still alive has to use a pegleg, atleast my base isn't on fire.

In her second tantrum where everything went wrong. She started punching walls, she will calm down eventually I thought, I won't have to break her legs if it's just walls, she will calm down at some point. Out of nowhere she bolted for my storage space and before I could even grasp the seriousness of the situation, she starting pummeling a chemfuel canister. This isn't good I thought to myself. The next thing I know every item in my storage is in flames, chemfuel canisters are going of like fireworks. I try to stop the flames with my other pawns, but I didn't stop anything, I just sent those poor pawns to their deaths. In the back of my head throughout all this I could see Randy's smug smile in the back of my mind. This is what he had planned all along, to make me feel powerful and let me have a taste of greatness before watching me lose everything.

I almost lost this colony in the first few hours of playing, but that was just Randy giving me a taste of his real intent. I should have known better. Also never again will I store my chemfuel with my other stuff. And I should probably stop building everything with wood. 10/10 great game, nothing was learnt, I will keep building stuff with wood and I will keep Randy as my story teller.

I understand cryosleep caskets now!

Posted: 15 Mar 2020 08:02 PM PDT

I was packing up to leave base for more habitable location when I remembered I had shoved a raider sick with infection into a cryosleep casket and then promptly forgot about them.

No wonder the people coming out of those things are badly injured and/or really pissed off!
