More detail than what you would want to know about pila in c/rimworld@lemmy.world

I mean, between the 2 pila used by the first two front lines of their heavy infantry compared to the 7 javelins of their light infantry, maybe ? The author does insist on the expense.

Also, this was to compare with RimWorld, where pila are made with wood, and wood only. (While IRL your typical spear would have less metal and more wood than a pilum ?)

To resume :

  • is a heavy javelin : throw (twice), pick up later if able, high(ish?) chance to get damaged on impact
  • great at piercing & disabling shields
  • likely useless at melee, sword & shield would have been used for that after having thrown both of them
  • uses a lot of expensive iron (steel?)

I'm not talking about meals.
I'm not sure how easy it would be to mod all the implications - after writing that post I realized that one reason why it's not in vanilla yet might be because of the distinct Food / Drug Binge mental break types : you wouldn't want a Pawn on a Drug Binge to try to do it with chocolate ! (I hope the opposite isn't true for Beer / Ambrosia ?)
I did request Dubs to add it to their Mint Menus mod, but IMHO this should really be part of vanilla.

To note : my thread is about foods that are more drug-like, not great as an actual food, like Chocolate and Insect Jelly, while high quality meals assigned as drugs would be IMHO out of scope of vanilla.

Some people just want to watch the world burn... in c/rimworld@lemmy.world

That is one - the fire got started when it died from its wounds from a previous hunt... so I picked the wrong guy to retrieve the (not yet then) corpse.
