More executions mod

[u/glupster]

Remember the colonist who threw a tantrum, kicked your antigrain warhead and took half the colony with them? Or the faction leader who kept raiding you back when you were three tribals and a dog?

Payback time. Make the punishment fit the crime.

So I made More Executions to execute prisoners and slaves, and the first method is the electric chair.

How it works

• Research Electricity, build the chair and wire it to your grid.
• Set a prisoner (or slave) to execute: electric chair. A warden straps them in while they struggle, listens to their last words, then throws the switch.
• Three jolts. The body shakes, sparks fly, and the skeleton flashes through the skin, made from vanilla art so it still looks like RimWorld.

It's power hungry

• Every jolt pulls a 2,400 W burst. If your grid can't pay for it, the execution is botched: the prisoner survives, burned and furious, and everyone who watched is upset.
• The surge can blow a power conduit on the same circuit, battery explosion included. Hidden conduits are safe, if you planned ahead.

Why bother?

• Prisoners who watch lose 40% of their resistance and will. Slaves who watch become fully suppressed. Everyone else hears about it.
• With Ideology you can make it a public electrocution: speech, last words, audience, the works.

Same mood, precept and faction effects as a vanilla execution, so your ideoligion's beliefs still apply. Kind colonists will hate you for it.

RimWorld 1.6, requires Harmony, Ideology optional, safe to add to an existing save.

I guess there’s nothing inherently immoral about writing AI mods. I’m not a modder so I can’t say. I’m sure the mod is cool and it works fine

I just miss the days pre-AI when more people could learn these really cool technical skills like coding or making software idk, instead of letting a robot do it for them. It’s more impressive. And now everything is AI-generated slop. But at the end of the day it doesn’t really matter does it? People will do what they will.

Anyway, you should learn how to mod yourself. You might make something even better than ChatGPT!

Edited to sound less rude…someone said saying “real mod” instead of just “mod” wasn’t kind so I changed it. Sorry about that

I miss when people weren't all in a cyber psychosis. Why is more people enabled to contribute bad?

You're the equivalent of "don't use a drill, use a screwdriver" "don't use a tractor!"

Time moves the other options are still there.

Like I said, my opinion doesn’t really matter. People are going to use AI regardless. Was just adding what I thought after I saw everyone else in the comments debating the use of AI.

Also, I don’t believe your analogy completely applies. When using a drill you’re still putting energy and strength into drilling a screw, unless you had AI hold the drill for you. I’m not very strong so holding up a drill while working on my car is still a work out for me. When you use a digital drawing tablet instead of a pencil you’re still putting in creativity, energy, and thought power. AI takes away all of that.

I believe it completely applies, the scale is just what you're stuck on.

Should we remove automation because we made hand tools? No, there's market for both.

I get its popular to hate AI but maybe take a step back and think if its really affecting you so much to discourage other people working on things for fun?

[u/hhhhjkljsqq1 → u/Emperor_Atlas]

I’m sorry if I’m misunderstanding, but I still don’t think your analogy applies. Using automatic tools is not the same as having a robot do it for you.
Holding up a drill —> exercise your arms, your legs if you’re squatting, dealing with the loud noise, holding the screws in place.
Having AI screw in the screws: no exercise involved, no noise etc.
Using a drill is not the equivalent of using AI to create an entire piece of media.

[u/Emperor_Atlas → u/hhhhjkljsqq1]

I think you're misunderstanding because its actually easier to teach someone to hold a screw than to use AI to code a specific game mod, test, find assets and upload it.

You are right, they are not equal as one requires education and the other a child or monkey could do.

[u/hhhhjkljsqq1 → u/Emperor_Atlas]

You don’t need education to use AI.

Sure grandpa, back to bed

[u/hhhhjkljsqq1 → u/Emperor_Atlas]

Why the insults? Thought we were having a good debate.

[u/Emperor_Atlas → u/hhhhjkljsqq1]

We were, you conceded by being purposefully daft.

[u/hhhhjkljsqq1 → u/Emperor_Atlas]

Sorry, but I don’t understand.

[u/Emperor_Atlas → u/hhhhjkljsqq1]

We know

[u/hhhhjkljsqq1 → u/Emperor_Atlas]

Can you explain further? I didn’t mean to be disrespectful or mean at all, sorry that I was doing that. I realize now that I may have been too dismissive, but please, I think I am confused.
