I get that it's supposed to be some sort of parody, but for meat raised cattle, there is absolutely no good reason to give them a ridiculously long lifespan.

But what if you're hungry in 200 years?
That's the milk one, the meat one only lives for a year.
As with Dwarf Fortress, "fun" is you fucking around instead of playing like a super AI and being as efficient and conservative as possible.
Have you discovered the wonders of ... Randy?

That's the way it's supposed to be. Like in DF, if you're having fun, you've done something very wrong and now fun is ensuing. You don't have fun, fun has you.

Add mods. There's a mod for practically everything. I generally have 3 builds:
Classical/medieval only setup: Lots of food & drink variety mods, slavery mods (especially the one where they rebel as a group when they actually have a chance, instead of randomly), the artsy ones that let your pawns do plays and more sculptures/paintings, and the one where you can turn your base into a bar/hotel for travellers. My Roman outpost's economy is fuelled purely by drugs and no guest leaves without a crippling opium addiction!
Industrial/modern day: Remove all space stuff, add lots of medical, artillery, helicopter and fortification mods. Is there a mod that lets your Apache drop napalm bombs on attackers? Sure is! But the real nastiness comes when you break out the nerve gas artillery shells so you take over the enemy base intact. Hope you brought the gas masks!
Sci-fi: The vanilla game is pretty close to this, so just quality of life things mostly. Especially the energy ones like the one where you can build sci-fi nuclear reactors and have super energy weapons. I'm always tempted to try out the 'this spaceship is your base now, fly around the universe and don't go in the airlock without a suit' mod (save our ship) but it's so buggy according to comments that I haven't yet.

No, you're not fun. Rimworld is really, really, really entertaining. I even avoid playing it because i get too hooked on it and spend a little too much time on it. You can do whatever you want in this game, and there's some really great mods to expand your possibilities even beyond
I enjoy being a cybernetic enhanced clan that feast on tribals and launch nuclear ICBMs on their primitive villages for fun
The antropophagic nuclear cyber utopia is real and i revel on it

If I try to play the game again I get terribly bored fast, but I managed to put a lot of time into it before. If you don't find it fun at all, idk, maybe your brain is broken.

Sort of? They bought Prison Architect, which was been pushing out unnecessary DLC (and bugs, in what used to be a bug free game...) ever since.
Rimworld's latest DLC (Biotech) was too much even for the fans though, especially when people noticed the main features were already well covered by very popular (free) mods. If you haven't bought it yet, skip the DLC and download What the Hack and Vanilla Genetics Expanded to get those features. Cue endless debates about how it's better to have that content in as part of (paid) DLC instead of (free) mods, because stability, bugs, blah, blah.
Also, adding children in a game where you can harvest humans for their skin and make a couch out of them is a strange move, especially after you got up on your preachy pulpit for years about how you were never going to add children to your game because you know your fans do horrible things to anything in the game.
I recently bought Ideology and Biotech. I haven't used Biotech at all* but Ideology is worth the $ in my opinion.
*I mean, I notice that there are pig men and cat girls now instead of just mainline humans, but it isn't a real factor in the experience. If you wanted to get into it I could see getting into it.

I'd buy biotech for the kids alone, the alien/furry shit is probably meh, the mechs are waaaay overplayed at this point. The royalty content always looked like weird shit to me. I hate psyonics so I'm biased.

There's a mod for that already. Children, School & Learning. Everyone thought it'd be Royalty - Ideology - Mobility to finally add something besides pack animals to travel the world with, but instead it was a repack of what was out there in the mods.
Speaking of world travel, I recently found out there's even one where you can lay railroad tracks on the world map and ship goods between settlements by train.
Another one for only buying Ideology btw. That seems to be the consensus among people not buying every DLC as it comes out. It adds actual different playstyles, etc. Although some of them seem pretty dead-end (now we'll be a society that ritually pokes their own eyes out and we hate anyone who isn't blind! But we can still kind of see, I guess?)

True. All I wanted in the game now is vehicles.
Fuck vehicles, u already got ships, pods, animals and droids for all your caravan needs.
One of the coolest mods is being able to ride animals on the tactical map, and into combat. This would be even cooler with the roombas and cars.

I guess there's mods that let you get a transport shuttle for the player already?
Royalty is a nice DLC, the psionics are op but cool and the empire might be a bit silly but fun to deal with. Ideology was a letdown, being able to enslave people is nice but the religion part is a mixed bag, everyone zealously believing all parts of their faith no questions asked is silly, ideology should be more than just mood boosts for following dogma. Like first you hate nutrient paste, then a guy converts you and you suddenly love it? To give a basic example. I guess the rituals are ok too. Didn't buy the new one, seemed messy with the catboys and all though the mech boss battles could be fun.

That looks way too high tech, seems there's a simpler option

Idk how balanced or anything that is, haven't played it. But nice for lategame ease of use probably. Early on it's still gotta do the transport pods built at a quest site for fast travel, with all the hassle that entails.
How's everyone feeling about the Biotech in general? Is managing kids / furries / whatever else it adds actually interesting? As said haven't bought it but also haven't played the game since its release at all
edit:
these images of the children being raised by furries in pastel vomit colored nursery rooms seems super gay and not fitting for a small frontier setting at all. Is it possible to raise your kids in a non-homo way?
