Do you know of any rimworld mods to let my pawns rescue someone not from their faction (who isn't downed)? I had a person from a friendly (well, neutral) faction wander onto the map while I had everyone inside hiding from a pack of maddened manhunter hares, and she took out most of them, but they also hurt her real bad from it, so I wanted to rescue her and stick her in a hospital bed to patch her up so she didn't just bleed out and die, but the only option I had was to arrest her, so now her faction hates me.

I remembered you had a hotel at some point, so I thought that might’ve been a little similar? ish?

You might be able to do this with Injured Carry. It basically expands the criteria for rescuing people to 'are they injured at all', and since you can normally rescue downed non-hostiles, I'd assume it works for them unless there's handling to prevent it. I did find the mod to be a little abusable at times--since rescuing someone gives the rescuee +15 opinion of the rescuer, you can make your whole colony become BFFs real quick by having them rescue each other whenever somebody gets, like, a minor bruise on their thigh.

So, the thing I've been posting screenshots from for a while now: Now that I have a stable mod list and stuff, I wanted to go back and do a 13-year-old mechanitor start, going to the Archonexus victory. Aka the thing I kinda tried to do with Yoshiko before my mod list imploded. Tonight I finally finished, so here's some stuff.

This is Camilla 'Suski' Hooper (more on the surname later.) She's inhuman and unaging at this point, so she only looks 20, but she's been on this planet 16 years now, and she was 13 when she arrived, so you do the math. After a decade and a half of putting up with this bullshit, she's pretty good at basically everything:

Between using the Big and Small mods and never having to scrap her save, she's also had lots of opportunities to genetically modify herself from her Baseliner start. Her genetic complexity is 93, and I think 100 is the game's limit. This is what her genome looks like right now:

Her custom catgirl xenotype is, of course, named

She was also a centaur for a few years, but she's over that now. It was just a phase.

If you remember that trick Mephizel had that allowed her to turn into a giant extra-demonic version of herself, Suski has one of those too. Hers is angelic though, so:

Vara included for scale. Vara is a normal-sized person. Due to the way the power works, Suski is fucking massive when she uses it. If she isn't bigger than Damage was, then they're both at the cap.

For those keeping track, this of course means that she's a giant psychic cyborg vampire catgirl angel. I feel like I might be forgetting something.

Suski has two other things going for her that Yoshiko didn't get. Number one: she's gotten laid so much:

Her ideology has random name inheritance when two pawns get married, and as it turned out, she was the one to inherit the other person's name pretty much every single time. Other surnames she's had include: Tan, Voov, Gutzgun, Macaulay, and Steiner. At this point I'm not even sure what her original surname was. I think it was Macaulay.

If you're paying attention, you might have noticed that two of her partners are also named Camilla. They were obelisk clones of her. The first colony had the cloning obelisk, and she got really lucky with it. There were like 5 copies of her running around, and they all had great compatibility with each other. They were a polycule. At one point almost every bed in the colony was in a single giant bedroom, because they were all in an interconnected web of romances.

The other advantage she has is a legendary assault rifle, which she named after herself:

If you're like 'wow, Hostility of Suski is actually kind of a fitting name for her personal firearm' then don't worry, she gave it an unrelated engraving.

I'm not counting this as an advantage, but she also got a lot of mileage out of the fact that I'm a lot more familiar with psycasts now. I only really used one or two on Yoshiko. Suski will turn herself invisible, teleport herself into the middle of a pack of enemies, make one go berserk, summon up a lightning storm over them, enrage the nearby wildlife, and then run away unnoticed. She's a fucking evil sorceress.

The Archonexus, on the other hand, is... kinda boring, as predicted. Playing three consecutive colonies to high wealth is definitely more fun than playing a single colony for the same amount of time, but once you have a ridiculously competent person or two to bring along, it trivializes the first half of each colony. Plus, Suski's personal value is $43,000, which is a hell of a head start toward the required wealth mark.

Chocobos vs. mechs. vs. fleshbeasts, place your bets.

Alpha Crafts + Big and Small has enabled a vital interaction, because I just had an enemy oni collapse on my front step, and the only way to get her on her feet again to shoo her off was

[theworldvsyoshiko]

yeah rabbits love that shit

[theworldvsyoshiko]

well. okay

[theworldvsyoshiko]

Another tactical victory for turrets, blowing my own colonist's brain out while trying to shoot a dog.

[theworldvsyoshiko]

The best time to ask someone on a date is after they call you a baboon.

[theworldvsyoshiko]

"hey, this is a new colony, so I don't really have any meals yet, but... here, I brought you this dead deer, just take a big bite wherever you want."

[theworldvsyoshiko]

I unleashed the Nociosphere on my enemies, and the first thing it did was teleport back into my base, into a prison cell, and attacked the one person inside.

[theworldvsyoshiko]

Yeah, that's great, Gutzgun. I'm glad you're having fun stargazing. But...

Maybe help the guy who's actively bleeding out ten feet away first.

[theworldvsyoshiko]

whomst among us isn't chasing the golden crunch amidst the sootfall

One drawback of a colony with unlimited free love is that I keep having people get tired, see that they can't go to bed because their wife is is fucking someone else in it right now, and decide that the best course of action is to sleep face-down in the snow.

Love this guy who carefully weaved his way through an active firefight to go eat some pemmican at the table.

And now she has had a fucking cosmic horror protagonist breakdown over her lack of a harp.

The fun thing with going for the Archonexus ending is that now I've got a girl who's hunting rabbits with a shortbow to survive, and her #1 concern is that her throneroom (which she built almost entirely out of wood in one afternoon) doesn't have a harp.

And now she's standing outside at midnight, in a snowstorm, well below freezing, reading an epic poem named Terrorism about some guy's grandma.
