Comment on Laysara: Summit Kingdom is a stunning mountainous city builder that’s out now in early access
Graphy@lemmy.world 6 months agoI’ve exclusively played rimworld using the multiplayer mod and it’s a dream even with 90 other mods on. Can’t recommend enough!

Do you have any recommendations for playing as a new player with a friend who is a new player using the co-op mod. I know that isn’t the ideal way to do it, but I don’t mind steep learning curves so much especially when it is for games that are meant to be played for years and years like Rimworld.

For mod specific tips I’d say the hygiene mod sounds silly but adds a lot of QOL like simple heating. If you’ve ever tried to balance the stupid space heaters you’ll know what I mean.
Here’s the google spreadsheet with all multiplayer mod compatibility ratings. A green/4 is great no issues but 3S aren’t bad.
My friend and I basically played it as two different colonies on the same map. We’d just cut the spawning area in half and make our own base on each side. Helping each other out in big raids and going out on trips together.
For rimworld tips I don’t want to info overload you or spoil things you’d naturally come across so here’s some things I think might help with that early game info overload.
Lots of things in the farming menu but you can just grow rice and ignore the rest. Healroot for meds ofc tho
If you get into nutrient paste you don’t need a dude who can cook (which is basically a full time job). There’s even a bigger nutrient paste network in one of the mods (I think one of the vanilla expanded ones).
Struggling with keeping an area too cold or hot? Double wall that area
No pyromaniac colonist
It doesn’t matter too much what stats you start your colonist with but try for like no negatives and not too old. You definitely do want one or two medics at the start of the game tho.
Colonist happiness is what you’ll probably find the most annoying as a new player. Just hover over them to see what’s bothering them and fix it. Drug policy sounds intimidating but it’s really easy and I just reuse the same bs policy I found someone using online. So you might have to grow a few plants for beer and weed.
If you have any more questions please reach out. Hope that helps!

Do you specifically not recommend sharing colonists but instead having a two base kind of setup?
What mods do you think make the choices you make in moment to moment gameplay more fun and interesting?
Graphy@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I think we didn’t share colonist because half the fun is building up colonist you care about. It also adds a slightly competitive aspect where it’s fun to make fun of how jank the other persons colony looks. We’d usually find a map with a river that splits it in half and just flip a coin on who gets what half.
For traders we would split the components which was kinda difficult to do before we downloaded a mod that allows colonist to grab x items.
Rimpy is the mod manager we used and I’ll send you the list of mods we used in mp. I’m at work rn and not sure how to post a text file on here but here’s the contents of my .txt mod file that you can paste into rimpy to import.
The ones that say local mod you’ll have to download manually through rimpy because rimpy likes to glitch and call some mods local that aren’t. You can ignore core and biotech though since those are local.
I’ll try to edit this later to highlight some of the more important ones. You should turn off Factional war and raid extension for your first runs though bc those add random hostile parties to the map that might kill a colonist.
