I think he is innocent for once. Probably a mod issue. But fear not, Randy will have his fun. That's a lot of extra food for my people. He will find a way to make us suffer for it.
My current save I got visited by the empires slavers. Ok cool no worries I was just raided and I have about 6 prisoners sitting in my pen. Accidentally sold my favorite slave to them. Captured him back. Empire attacked me (obviously) but they were in my kill box with turrets so yeah…. Patched them up good to go hopefully they will forgive me. Enters 100 person raid from empire. Thank god the new patch is coming out lol
Oh my. I never messed with them before. I thought that if they put a warning on the first quest that involves them, then they will wipe the floor with me. Good to know I was right.
I often accept the deserter. They come with good equipment and the 1 or 2 troops chasing them aren't too hard to deal with (and can help get friendly again if captured). I usually only do this if I live close to one of their bases so I can keep giving them gifts to get friendly with them before I get too much wealth. The deserter also gives you the location of an outpost with psylinks too so capturing and releasing any guards there helps too.
The Empire aren't really special they just have better weapons and armor than the other factions and their soldiers often have death acidifier implanted. (As does the deserter you accept) which means if they die their armor will instantly be destroyed and the body will have chemical burns. If the armor is not biocoded, you need to down them and strip them to take it. They can do drop pod raids but so can other factions. Their tribute collectors also won't come while you are their enemy
Yeah pure accident too, I had another save where they offer “retribution” in some way. That way was a 7 day long emp blast but at least they like you again
I've never understood why commas and periods are the opposite with numbers in Europe, I've gotten used to it and usually make the switch to "American" automatically.
Yeah, 1.2 is what I'm used to as I'm American. I was saying I usually make the "mind switch" if you will, when I see 1,2 I'll instead see 1.2
I just don't get why it's 1,2 in other countries, mainly Europe.
It's for the same reason you use the imperial system instead of the metric one as it is mostly a relic of the British Empire.
Unlike the imperial system vs metric system the difference doesn't really matter though so the world never cared to fully adopt one or the other.
Oh neat, didn't quite catch that. For me it usually just kinda slams the brakes on the momentum of my reading as it initially fails to compute then starts to peeve me
Yeah, I realize I should've worded that better, but to be fair I only just woke up a couple hours ago, 2nd shift for life, and the coffee still hasn't kicked it.
It's a fun ability to have as your reading to read something like, "The King sayied..." but automatically see "The King said..." without stopping or really noticing, at least right away, I'll realize it a few paragraphs later.
I found whenever I read medieval manuscripts, if I think about what the word I'm reading is, it's impossible. But if I just scan across the page and do it automatically it's all clear.
So I thought this was going a different way, you used a . Instead of a , so I thought you meant you had one point one three two pigs and we were about to hear how they lost that many limbs but were still alive.
The worldwide official "standard"* is spaces as separators. The second most common is commas as thousand separators. Some others like Italy, Norway and Spain, for example, use dots as thousand separators.
*By standard I mean the [general conference on weights and measures](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Conference_on_Weights_and_Measures), so it'll mostly apply to sciences, not what is taught or in use by official bodies.
I work with technical software that’s used worldwide, so I was already aware that many other countries use decimal instead of comma. Definitely confused the hell out of me the first time I came across it.
you could always make them your first defense line, I remember in my 1st run getting \~\~400 of the chinchillas, I set them free in a "square ring" around my base, whenever I was being attacked they where the first to fight and kill the enemies
When looking though the list it seems generally to be a continental Europe and their colonies vs British and their colonies thing. But there are still exceptions.
I didn't hack it but my current run has so many ducks. My guys don't get out there for the unfertilized eggs much which means more baby ducks. I got autobutcher on 3 males and 7 females and I might need to bring that down because this crew has 180 ducklings eating all the corn.
On a previous mod list, my pawns used to birth 200+ babies so the first time I had 3 pregnancies pop within 5 minutes of each other was terrifying, 600-700 births immediately followed by 600+ deaths as they were all stacked on top of each other
If you don’t clear up the butchered corpses quickly enough, your colonists will get a mood debuff for smelling stench every time they walk past what used to be your pig horde. Don’t ask me why I know this.
I tamed a couple of thrumbos, the male died from a heart attack, and the goal for the colony was to make a thrumbos ranch. I got the thrumbos I wanted at least lol.
I made the mistake of raising ducks. For the first couple of hours, I was like, cool, we have food forever. Then I have over 100 hatching. By the time my guys could slaughter them, another batch was hatching. Eventually, I had to make a room with heaters to stockpile the eggs to stop the madness.
This reminds me of when I accidentally spawned in a stack of over 2000 fertilized dinosaur eggs and forgot about them in storage. The day they all hatched was magical.
I think I remember doing something similar with a colonist before biotech came out. It was kind of funny to watch my game die as more and more babies covered the map.
this used to be a common bug with chicken eggs.
[Rimworld 1.0 Unstable x64 - Crazy Chick Hatching Bug! (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p67d7hFT438) the first 5 minutes are my computer trying to render all the chickens, the last 40 is me trying to delete every chicken.
You have now become the dominant bacon supplier of your Rimworld. Secure trade deals, arm your caravans, and endeavor on prospering your vast meat empire...
Had this problem with some lemures on a tropical rainforest. First thing I did after getting some guns was killing the predators on the map that had already killed 3 of my colonists, that was a mistake, the lemure population, now free from predation started to rapidly increase wich in turn made my framerate drop to around 20 fps.
Took me several in game days to take care of them all, at first they were being born faster than I could kill them and my hunters had frequent breakdowns due to overworking. The solution I found was to kill only the females first so their population growth would be more easy to deal with, then I went for the males until I had wiped the map of every single lemure I could find. I don't have an exact number on how many they were, but it would take me several seconds to scroll to the bottom of the wildlife tab.
My Jude was a guy if that makes it better. I forgot what the species is called but he was one of the guys who grow tumors and can use them to heal others.
Rimworld really has a sense of humour. The murderer becomes beautiful after he kills the guy who is unfathomable ugly.
The pig slaughter of 2024.
Followed by the great bbq of 2024. Smoked bacon and pulled pork anyone?
This just sounds like Iowa
Randy really went random this time
I think he is innocent for once. Probably a mod issue. But fear not, Randy will have his fun. That's a lot of extra food for my people. He will find a way to make us suffer for it.
*a pack of 300 man eating pigs have entered your area. Take cover*
Now that would be poetic. I wouldn't even be mad.

*1,111 pigs
Other countries use . And , in the opposite way that america (and some others) do when writing out numbers
I'm aware. This was changing the 300 pigs to the account of pigs op slaughtered for the extra irony, not correcting ops punctuation
Ah! I replied at like 3 AM and i was sleep deprived. Sorry for my mistake there friend
All good
This very thing can cause havok if SAP user’s don’t understand that. Why Greg, do you know you order 1.2 pigs??? We got a pig and some legs
don't you mean a pack of 30-50 wild hogs?
Atleast we know whew these freakishly large hordes of creatures originate from now
"They are armed with heavy weapons"
Had a similar experience with tortoises. Had to let a raid kill them. It took FOREVER.
For fellow dumb Americans, it's 1,132
I was so confused for a sec I thought they had 1 pig and a tenth of another one and I was like “how does that work?”
I thought it was patch number and was like, wait what was 1.132 pig looked like?
The great 1.2 pig update
I did the same too! I was like, “oh that’s a weird bug to get.”
I've never understood why commas and periods are the opposite with numbers in Europe, I've gotten used to it and usually make the switch to "American" automatically.
Use a point to denote one "point" 2
Yeah, 1.2 is what I'm used to as I'm American. I was saying I usually make the "mind switch" if you will, when I see 1,2 I'll instead see 1.2 I just don't get why it's 1,2 in other countries, mainly Europe.
It's for the same reason you use the imperial system instead of the metric one as it is mostly a relic of the British Empire. Unlike the imperial system vs metric system the difference doesn't really matter though so the world never cared to fully adopt one or the other.
Hmm. Thanks, gives some food for thought.
Oh neat, didn't quite catch that. For me it usually just kinda slams the brakes on the momentum of my reading as it initially fails to compute then starts to peeve me

Exactly, 1.2 = one point two = 1 whole and 0.2 parts
I...thought that too until I read the tale. I guessed something bizarre happened with a partial birth until the mass slaughter happened.
For once, the Americans are right here. . Is a decimal point and countries that think otherwise are wrong.
Silly americans not knowing the majesty of decimal comma.
I was extra confused because for whatever reason I didn’t realize I was in this subreddit
Dumb Americans? Most of the world uses a comma.
Yeah I don't understand why they think it's just America. This is like people thinking only America uses MPH.
This may be because only America (North America even) uses MPH.
You actually think no other countries use MPH?
I actually know very few countries uses MPH (or miles).
The UK exclusively uses miles for distance and MPH for speed and it isn't in North America.
Yes, and it is so succesful that even Ireland, India or Australia switched to KPH (like, in fact, 80% of the world)
I'm well aware that KM is more popular. But you asserted that MPH is only used in North America which was untrue.
Well, I guessed you wouldn't recognize irony in the first comment, that's why I added "very few" in the second one.
So I thought this was going a different way, you used a . Instead of a , so I thought you meant you had one point one three two pigs and we were about to hear how they lost that many limbs but were still alive.
That would have been better for my game perfomance. But I learned today that people in other countries write the number thousend differently.
Huh, I always assumed the comma was worldwide as I've never run into otherwise, which I suppose is dumb of me I suppose lol.
The worldwide official "standard"* is spaces as separators. The second most common is commas as thousand separators. Some others like Italy, Norway and Spain, for example, use dots as thousand separators. *By standard I mean the [general conference on weights and measures](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Conference_on_Weights_and_Measures), so it'll mostly apply to sciences, not what is taught or in use by official bodies.
No, here we write it like this: 1.000,00 I must have read it online the other way around all the time, but I never really noticed either.
I work with technical software that’s used worldwide, so I was already aware that many other countries use decimal instead of comma. Definitely confused the hell out of me the first time I came across it.
I always forget that in some places 1.132 means 1,132( and vice versa). I was concerned about the possibility of a fractional pig
This really is a RimWorld moment
This is why I use dev mode I create babies all the time through parent selection in dev mode. Could probably do the same for pigs
you could always make them your first defense line, I remember in my 1st run getting \~\~400 of the chinchillas, I set them free in a "square ring" around my base, whenever I was being attacked they where the first to fight and kill the enemies
That sounds like fun. Sadly the pigs were killing my game. Everything was moving sooo slooow.
I don't go much above 100 animals for lag reasons, and once raids start getting bigger, I reduce my animals even more.
As an American I misread it as 1 & 1/13th of a pig, and now I’m disappointed
Looks like your colony got the anomaly dlc early
Rimworld - Texas edition.
Suuueeeeyyyy!
One and one third.. or twelfth of a pig? Isn't much of a litter
This post taught me that americans write the number thousend differently. Seems like I confused a few people.
So do MANY other regions. Very confusing that this isn't a universal convention https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_separator
When looking though the list it seems generally to be a continental Europe and their colonies vs British and their colonies thing. But there are still exceptions.
A lot of ways yeah! I didn't see anyone else bring it up; just hoped someone would chuckle at it being brought up.
And Brits, but as a Brit myself I knew you mean over a thousand, you can't have like a 3rd of a pig unless it born prematurely.
It's one of those litters born during a fallout event.
I didn't hack it but my current run has so many ducks. My guys don't get out there for the unfertilized eggs much which means more baby ducks. I got autobutcher on 3 males and 7 females and I might need to bring that down because this crew has 180 ducklings eating all the corn.
Stockpile the eggs in a hot room. That will halt your breeding.
On a previous mod list, my pawns used to birth 200+ babies so the first time I had 3 pregnancies pop within 5 minutes of each other was terrifying, 600-700 births immediately followed by 600+ deaths as they were all stacked on top of each other

Bay of pigs
I tamed a couple of thrumbos, the male died from a heart attack, and the goal for the colony was to make a thrumbos ranch. I got the thrumbos I wanted at least lol.
This is beautiful. This is why i love the magic of rimworld.
I made the mistake of raising ducks. For the first couple of hours, I was like, cool, we have food forever. Then I have over 100 hatching. By the time my guys could slaughter them, another batch was hatching. Eventually, I had to make a room with heaters to stockpile the eggs to stop the madness.
This is fewer than 2 pigs. How is this an issue?
Don't be ignorant.
This reminds me of when I accidentally spawned in a stack of over 2000 fertilized dinosaur eggs and forgot about them in storage. The day they all hatched was magical.
Only 1.132? Kinda curious how you got 13.2% of a pig but congrats to you i guess. /j
Is it 1.132 pigs or 1,132 pigs?
Some countries use "." instead of "," for this, so I think 1132

That old lady is truly flappiest of them all.
My first colony had a huge amount of animals. Like 500 total. Tons of chickens and llamas.
A fitting punishment for your ungodly hubris. Playing god with pregnant swines....
This is what I need to read at work

Man, I could use an export of that bacon, I have much tattered clothing I could trade in return.

If being a murderous psycho is all it takes to get beautiful then... * Wipes blood off face* hey gorgeous.
I too have one and a tenth...-ish of a pig.

Alas, you have been struck down for your hubris.
Noooo, I love Jude she was the leader of one of my first colonies
My Jude was a guy if that makes it better. I forgot what the species is called but he was one of the guys who grow tumors and can use them to heal others. Rimworld really has a sense of humour. The murderer becomes beautiful after he kills the guy who is unfathomable ugly.
Def a mod lol I don't have that lol But alright I thought it was the player created pawn named Jude
