Beedroms!
As I managed to get my latest story submissions sent out (with titles, augh, titles suck) out before the 30 April deadline for both of them, and the children are eating my entire brain, and I managed to get a 1.0 mod layout running and playable, I have been spending the last few days playing a lot of RimWorld.
Most importantly: I got the Apini beta rolling. The Apini were my favorite nonhumans back before release, but the modder vanished back in version .17 or so (there were .18 and .19 before the 1.0 release) and many were saddened. Someone else picked them up again, and has been tinkering with them, but I never got them working - it turns out that basically .7z files hate me, hence the issues with getting it to run, but anyway. (Discovering how to deal with this this meant I got to run another mod that I hadn't managed to get working before, because also a .7z.)
The Apini, as one might guess from the name, are bee people. Which meant I got a game up and rolling, started contemplating permanent housing, and basically paused the game for two hours trying to figure out how to build adequate hexagons on a square grid. (Not a problem I'd bothered to solve before but I am that sort of mad, apparently.)
I feel satisfied with my results. (Image behind cut because polite; click to embiggen.)
( Beedrooms! And other sorts of rooms for bees! )
