As Cities Skylines II still isn’t worth it (the sub has a regular thread about that, in summary: no it’s not: old.reddit.com/…/is_cities_skylines_ii_worth_it_m…) which games scratch your city building itch?
well, rimworld does have a focus on (micro)management and strategy!
if your pawns are constantly down due to raiders, then you need better defenses! …or tame a herd of animals and release those at your enemies! (rhinos work very well for this!)
there are tons of little optimizations you can make to efficiently run a colony. for example, social fights: you can keep those from happening by keeping the problematic pawns in different areas! or removing one or both of their tongues! or sending one on basically permanent caravan missions! etc., etc.
this kind of deep strategizing, combined with the random bullshit the game throws at you, is mostly why people love rimworld!
and mods… definitely get mods! that’s where the game reeeaaally shines!
indoors, preferably shelves, but that’s a goal to work towards
-stockpile some food:
starting with a talented grower makes early game easier. rice is best in the beginning, when it’s beginning to stockpile switch to potatoes, when those stockpile to corn. each step requires less work by your pawns, leaving more time for other stuff.
-get a ranged weapon and some defenses
some bows if there’s nothing else. first raid is alwaysa single melee guy, that’s scripted, afaik. setup some sand bags or embrasures. walls/corridors to limit the range enemies can shoot at you.
-get batteries
super important! difficult to have a reliable food supply without those!
-get a freezer
also super important because of the above!
-set up a prison
last on the list, not that high of a priority…but still, get some more people!
and then do pretty much what you want…once early game is done, get some research done, plant some cotton, some herbal meds, set up a little medical area, etc.
i did actually forget about that when commenting, and thanks for the added info!
however, that’s not exactly what i was talking about:
assuming normal or better soil you need less work (i.e. time spent working the fields) per unit of nutrition when moving from rice->potato->corn because of yield.
so your pawns spend less time planting and harvesting, which results in higher overall colony productivity since they can do other stuff in-between, like cooking, cleaning, mining, etc.
you are correct in that you should choose which plant you use based on the soil first, and according to productivity second!
i just wasn’t really considering soil quality when writing the comment…
Also let me emphasize this: for every discord server shut down like this, there are 100+ servers with almost the same purpose that still exist and will continue to for at least the next 3y.
you completely missed the point here:
the issue that those aren’t around NOW, the issue is that they WILL inevitably disappear eventually and every shred of knowledge platformed there will be irretrievably lost to the void.
discord is a black hole for information:
it sucks information in and deletes it from existence.
Tell me if those companies that experienced more productivity, why did they not continue to implement it?
they did. 80% of them did exactly that!
it works exactly as expected, and the companies that did switch to a 32h-week model did see increased productivity, and 80% chose to keep the 32h-week model.

alternatively I’d be thrilled to hear all about these alternative ways to have kids that you apparently think are out there…and then I’d like it explained to me how exactly that’s not an “expected part of life”??
ow2 is a free alpha release, and sc2 is over 10 years old and hasn’t received any major content in at least 4 years…
plus sc2 co-op commanders had a bundle deal right before development got dropped for the game, but now, years later, blizzard expects you to pay a full 15$ per commander to unlock!
and obviously there’s no way to unlock them through gameplay…
so one of the two is straight up worse than the one it replaced, and the other is stupidly expensive given how ancient it is.
