mr peeps Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 So I think that when something happens and a duplicant cant get out of it, like maybe sand fell on his exit or something, there would be a warning saying that that dupicant is trapped. Something like that anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AileTheAlien Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I've lost many dupes to cave-ins, because I didn't get the notification until they were already suffocating while buried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarquan Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I think that a warning when a dupe's area of movement suddenly reduces significantly or the dupe can not reach oxygen would or food when there is oxygen and food would be very convenient.

Similar warnings i had some time ago ("bed/food out of reach" or similar.) I tested it now and got no warnings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarquan Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 My feeling is that those are not warnings. Warnings have the loud sound to attract our attention. Not to mention I get false "can not reach bed" or "unreachable food" all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AileTheAlien Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 The messages that appear on the left of the UI could be visually differentiated from the less important ones. e.g. Research finished is less important than building damaged, or duplicant trapped. Rimworld has normal text boxes / notifications, yellow, and (I believe) red ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vovik Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 When duplicant suddenly gets access to bed and food cut off might signalize that he is trapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnus Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 A simple solution would be a notification... not a warning... that the dupe cannot path to the printing pod. This would be similar to the unreachable food and bed out of reach notifications. A menu that would promote or demote notifications to warning status or the reverse would be extremely helpful because rotten food and such warnings I don't care about and are just annoying. If they were notifications instead that would be preferable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant as part of the options menu for the game itself. So you can toggle notifications on/off or promote them to warnings separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Wolflyn Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Even just some kind of alert beep anytime a dupe gets entombed would be a literal life saver, when mining in sandy biomes I've lost more than a couple dupes after they were entombed and suffocated before I realized they were even in peril.

Zarquan Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 There is an alarm for entombment (when they are entombed in a block). I certainly think there should be custom warnings. If the person can not reach food OR bed OR oxygen, set off alarm "Trapped Duplicant." The only problem is how do you prevent frequent false alarms? I get messages flashing about unreachable bed even though the beds are completely reachable quite frequently. They only last for less than a second, but if they made a noise, I would be annoyed. Also, then we could probably turn off the "Food has decayed" alarm. The constant beeping makes me not want to have massive mealwood rotting fields, like they didn't intend for that to be an option.

Kabrute Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 So this actually happens with Current Unmeetable Needs( Bathroom, food, bed) IF the dupe needs these things, you will get an alarm if they can't get them. That already happens. To turn off your rotting field alarm put a locked door on it, the alarm turns off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarquan Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I haven't noticed that alarm. I usually don't see any alarms until they start suffocating. I get a low level warning about unreachable beds and things like that, but no warnings. That is nice to know that that removes the alarm, but I want my dupes to be able to move the polluted dirt around. Burn some of it to make sand. Things like that.

mircomars Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 a menu to prioritize messages would be great. I also like the need to unlock this with a building and some tech. perhaps a "worker management/surveillance"-console which has to be tinkered with by a dupe to make changes. first thing I would change is the alarm for "plant died"... OT: I'd prefer the alarm for "dupe not finding a path to the printing pod". I guess the false positives wouldn't be that annoying. Even when I lock a dupe out to get some work done, it would be a welcomed reminder to not get distracted a forget to let them in for the night. Only case that I can think of when that alarm would really annoy me is if I'd use an outpost which is cut off from the base. For that a comm-station could be added so they can talk to their friends and don't get homesick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
