Rimworld: A Roleplay [OOC - Open Now - Interest Thread]

[Labstoska]

So Labstotska and Afrique your apps are accepted. G-tech, yours looks great in terms of fluff but I still need to consider glitterworlders in general for balance. I'll try to do that quickly now that I'm home.

Great, now it's time to watch the entire food supply be destroyed by toxic fallout.

[Xotle]

So G-tech, check the original post for a little added section on balancing. Basically you're gonna need a cheaper version of Luciferium to prevent your body from rejecting your ribs, spine, etc.

If the intention for those mechanites your post mentioned was for balance purposes, you can omit that unless you really want to keep it. Repairium will take the role of balancing cybernetics. It may be expensive in the early/mid game to keep your cybernetics working, you'll probably be dedicating a fair amount of colony resources towards this purpose.

More information to come of course, I'll get the details ironed out in my second post.

Aye, indeed- my thought was that the symbiotic mechanites essentially maintained the internal cyber-ecosystem of Jarn. Perhaps Repairium is a refined form of those raw materials the mechanites feed on, for efficiency?

Sure, net result is the same - use of Repairium for maintenance, and it has a neat sounding lore justification.

Excellent, excellent. This should be a grand roleplay, I’m glad someone has finally taken up the concept.

Only 70? I clocked 154 hours.
Anyhow, tag!

[Xotle]

G-tech is accepted, the nerfs to glitterworlders should make their inherent OPness harder to maintain and in some cases fatal. Repairium, like luciferium, requires regular dosages else the mechanites destabilize killing the host.

EDIT: Poll added to choose the starting biome. I'll close it whenever I think enough people have joined/voted.

I'll also be adding the brunt of the items/structures/cybernetics information tomorrow after work.

I personally endorse Boreal Forest- cold is a bitch, but can be dealt with. And less disease is gud.

[Afrique Occidentale]

[Pfft, how cold Boreal can be? As regular player of Tundra, anything hotter than -2 on summer is simply too tropical.

Y'all are cowards, the only biome for me is the desert, real men make everything out of stone.

>thinking tundra have trees

thats where you're wrong, kiddo, real man use marble.

Pfft. Slate-granite masterrace.

[Xotle]

I agree with Afrique, always been fond of grand Marble structures that end up being shoddy

See, a man with true taste.

[Xotle]

Kay so we already have a decent number of votes so I think I'm gonna close the poll late Saturday and probably start working on the IC post, which should/could be up this weekend.

Looks like it's gonna be Boreal Forest unless there is a serious upset. As for faction name, the person who writes the first post in the IC founding the faction gets to decide, though if you want to post suggestions in the OOC for them to use feel free. Nothing too silly please

[Ralnis]

Guys need a doctor, farmer, or merchant?

We have a psychological experimentee, a scavenger and a king on the run so perhaps a more grounded role is needed, yeah.

[The GAmeTopians]

I feel like as far as faction goes we use a country name like "Republic of Frontier" or something, with the eventual goal of taking over the planet

Nah, our colony shall run the planet with an iron fist!

Aim higher, the omnipotent overlords of the time space continuim and all associated territories.

Serious suggestion: the Olympians, a nice dose of smugness and superiority also as seen as one of our members has god like technology it kinda fits. Also who should be the founder of the colony?

[Molarki]

Are we allowed to come from a world under the other worlds classification or be xenohumans?

[Xotle]

Yes to the first thing and no to the second. Alien life hasn't developed sapience in the Rimworld universe.

Doesn't matter to me, whoever writes the first post gets dibs but if you want to pick someone here feel free. I just don't want to make a gazillion polls for things like this.

[Afrique Occidentale]

I'll just roam around the rimworld first before meeting with the colony, maybe for a week or so. How huge will the planet be, Xotle?

In terms of surface area, about half of that of Earth. But the planet is also denser overall, leading to a similar surface gravity. It would take about 4-5 years to walk around its entirety from the equator, compared to 11 years for Earth. Other biomes are feasible to reach within a quadrum time scale, if not in a few days.
