How many colonists before the PC crashes?

This guy is like the antithesis of Pete Complete, Pete Complete: Carefully considered and calculated choices that let him survive in the most hostile biomes in the game and make it look easy. Ambiguous Amphibian: Flying by the seat of his pants into the sunset, on a rocket he made out of windex and gumption, screaming the whole way. and I think that's beautiful.

Aside from the 200 pawns... Fire, Vegetation, and Job Checks are the causes for your stuttering. Chop trees always, and try to minimize the number of colonists you have checked off beat out fires for, the game does a check every tick to see if there’s fire and with 200 colonists it can really slow it down. All in all, love the the videos!

Megasloth: *minding his own damn business* About 10 colonists, all equipped with submachine guns: P E R I S H

Me: "who orders a sweet ass Rimworld video at 3 AM?" Also me: "Oh boy, 3 AM!"

"Ah yes, I was about to beat up somebody, but instead I'll just down a 6-pack and smoke a blunt" -Life in the gulag

you should have 2 people that just carry around the rocket launchers called Rocket1 and Rocket2. They wouldn’t do anything at all, just be idle all the time unless something scary happens

Where's my boy builder 9? Needs more screentime!

you can set the crafting of clothing to include worn apparel, meaning you can tell them to make a total of 201, including what people are wearing, and even make sure awful or low durability clothing isn't included in the count or in their wardrobe options, so they'll keep track of making new clothes and replacing their clothing automatically

Wait a minute, a bunch of cowboys living together that make violent love... is this Ram Ranch?

As a heavy mod player, I can tell you that most of the lag from this game comes from Pawn pathing. You should try dubs performance analyzer to make sure it’s not some random block in the middle of no where causing rapid update and dropping ticks. You could also try runtimeGC to lower pawn relations. Because the game is single threaded, no matter how good your pc is you will always have this lab, and worry not about tour pc dying, because it will kill only 1 core at a time, and there are at least 4 backup cores that it could kill before you having to get a new pc.

"Hello friends, welcome back to our metaphorical gulag. In our last video we established food. And today we're going to equip everyone with a machine pistol and try to kill the megasloth inside of our walls" Jesus those first three sentences were a rollercoaster for the uninitiated

Fun fact: the game is programmed to start raining if there’s a lot of fire on the map.

with all the chaos stirring around us...the ambiguousamphibian brings me great joy...with torturing his little ants :)

16:50 Changes pawn schedules en masse, next minute the entire game starts lagging. "Why am I getting random jitters suddenly?"

Man! just watching you micromanaging all of this makes me tired. Here is some mods that will help: Dubs performance analiser: adds multiple tweaks that greatly help with lag in large colonies. and you will know what was that freeze 4M Menhis misc modifications: Multiple quality of life options. Snap out: Less beatings, maybe not in your style.... Better workbench managment: So Sooooo good for huge colonies, among other things allows to link orders on multiple workstations to be changed as one. Stack XXL: Wwith amount of shit you making this will greatly reduce clutter and lag as it reduces things to chose from. Allow tool: How the hell you are playing without it!? Ahtung: Ever wanted to make firing line with 200 guys? in one second! Stabilise: for when you want bleding stopped HERE AND NOW! High density Hydroponics: I don't belive you will survive that long... Mend and recycle: Cause vanilla system is bullshit. REPLACE STUFF: REPLACE WOOD WITH STONE, GOOD. Everybody gets one: Produce dusters ontil all slave..em...colonists have one. Oh and there is one we would all apriciate... steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2076610321&searchtext=oh+god PS: You can copy and paste shedules and most othe tedious things.

I love that the infirmary is entirely dedicated to caring for those that have had the crap beaten out of then for getting our of line :D

Longest 24 hrs man

Love this, hope your doing well in general.

33:10 you could just click and drag to apply settings in mass

"Only corpses in here, gentlemen, only corpses." --Amphibian, 2020

"You, Megasloth, have been found guilty of trespassing and have been sentenced to death by firing squad."

Just a minor note on your paved walkways: Anywhere there is already stone can be smoothed. It costs you zero materials, and is prettier than paved floor, improving beauty stat. Takes very little time as well, as opposed to walking to the stockpile to gather materials.

“Do not hunt the megasloths I fear them” yea that was apparent when you formed a firing squad to attack one and then slowly shot it to death

"I wonder what's causing so much lag" the 200 colonists all moving and completing tasks: "Good question."

Please man you can click and drag on almost all the menus to change everyone at once. you are driving me crazy by clicking 200 times.

been waiting for new episodes even before i knew the series was out

Have you thought about using mods to make some of the micromanaging easier

A really useful mod for construction is called "replace". Basically, you don't have to deconstruct walls or anything if you want to change the material its made out of. All you do is place the construction blueprint above it and builders will automatically start building above it. When the construction is done you will also get the materials from the old building as if it had been deconstructed. Very handy mod which doesn't require a new save.

This man just executed order 66 on every animal on the map. That's some real chaotic evil energy

you should put packed up firepoppers in designated locations around the base. if there's a fire, have someone grab and place it, then immediately trigger it, basically a portable fire extinguisher. on a similar note, it's be really cool to see a wall of weapon racks containing your rocket launchers and any other strong weapons, so you know right where they are, and to show off your collection

There are so many great quotes from this video. I love it… made me laugh on a Monday morning. Thank you. Very entertaining.

"Cowboy hats and dusters for everyone!" My god hes creating Texas

Saw this in my recommended, but didn't realize it was a new vid. Almost didn't click. Might want to differentiate thumbnails a bit more, as well as adding a number to the start of the title, for devices which truncate titles. Glad I caught it though!

Territorial pissings, i remember you asked me to play it in your discord general chat a while back cause i was playing other nirvana songs on my bass. I still haven't learned the song yet but i have learned a few other nirvana covers. Great video im liking this series!

Marvelous. All guys in cowboy hats with guns and feisty attitudes also no shirts. You just need some tigers and you would have an Exotic gulag.

This feels like watching the electronic and slightly more advanced version of my ant farm. I love watching swarm behaviour. Thank you so much for these videos. They're SMASHING! :D

That nirvana cover @21:21 tho

loving the series! its definitely smart to split the workload! if you split the workers by job instead of profession you can get work done at all hours of the day! for example: 5 planters sleep at night, and 5 sleep during the day, hope this helps!

As usual, when man must have his PC speed up, nature must suffer.

Watching your pawns shooting that sloth made me remember how good combat extended is

I stayed up since the last upload to see #2 I love your Rimworld videos, I LOVE EM.

Everyone is a cowboy... Uh oh... You've built... RAM RANCH!!!

Oooooo another video, made by the cutest KZfaqr, who also happens to be my favorite! 😳😘

Yo AM you can see how many humans you had selected on bottom left corner, also you can click and drag when you have humans selected and drafted and you can put them in a line.

Tips: -Double click sleeping spots/harvesting/beds/walls/etc to highlight all in view. -Theres a copy option when doing schedules and work shifts to make setting the colonists jobs and schedules easier.

I've utilized a tactic for the mechanoid ship piece instance and mortar invasions. I build a couple defensive outpost outside my walls near where they can drop in/set up. Its essentially a roofed box, with sandbags and pillars for cover. Funny stealing the mortar's building supplies before they get to it is the best way I found to defeat them hehe

"it's so satisfying, its like microsoft excel and legos" - i felt that

You should double check the rooms. I noticed quite a few colonists still have sleeping spots instead of beds. Loving the video!!

32:24 “Make love to him! Make *really violent* love to him!”

your upload schedule fits my sleep schedule so perfectly thank you

12:29 300 tough aesthetic colonists with burning passion for melee :D

Well after watching you and others play this game I finally bought it

"You've gotta troubleshoot." Best line of the episode

2:47:The one constant of human civilization...smartphones. 15:00: And it works as a window! 19:40: I don't think "troubleshooting" is supposed to be so literal...

PRO TIPS: with assigning medicine you can click and drag downwards to assign to herbal. you can copy and past sleep/work schedule on the left of the excel chart looking thing. you can copy and past jobs on production things (e.g. stonecutter tables) click on copy on the job, then paste on top right of the menu. For faster production with jobs, set them to "drop on floor" instead of "take to best stockpile", it let the haulers haul it instead of the crafters.

i had to laugh when he builds a crazy room for people with break risks and fills it with machine pistols... xD 'having a hard time? this pistol will make all your problems go away!'

Removing the fade transitions has made the video so much easier to watch, Nice job

Tried watching EnterElysium for some Bannerlord gameplay, but I couldn’t make it past five minutes, you are just too good, when I watched his all I could think was “I wish ambiguousamphibian would upload soon”

I hope you do a 300, 400, etc etc. the 1000 one was very overwhelming but I want to know what the best amount of bois would be. At a certain point you have too many do deal with resources but if you have a little to few you don’t have enough to make it what you need in time before everyone breaks. I’ve never played rimworld but I love these videos. Thank you for doing all this hard work you handsome man.

26:09 “this is so satisfying, it’s like Microsoft excel and legos” 😂😂 I dropped what I was holding from laughter don’t know why 😂😂

the performance analyzer mod can be really helpful for working out what's causing lag. a lot of the time, people searching for jobs to do can cause a large amount of lag.

"Oh there's the doomsday rocket launcher, I was looking for you." That's... worrying. XD

Why is this so satisfying to watch

If you want less lag on larger colonies then the answer is rather simple. Fireproof floor the majority of everything outside of your base. The game tends to spawn in animals to a ratio where the vegetation can sustain them or they leave the map. You can leave a little bit outside your walls if you still want to hunt, If you put it right at the edge of your gun range it makes for easy target practice. Personally I like using either the bones mod or colored sterile tiles and doing a checkerboard pattern or other weird designs. I get a strange sense of joy in knowing that my enemies become the flooring their brothers in arms will bleed out on. If you use the raise the roof mod you can pull down overhead mountain roof and completely strip mine the rest of your map, so it's no cover for the enemy as far as the eye can see.

you should get the manager mod for these. that way you don’t have to constantly set trees to be chopped down. managing take intelligence and social so it could be a secondary job for researchers and it develops the social skill so you have someone to trade with. you can manage hunting, mining (though i don’t for fear of revealing areas), chopping, harvesting, animal training, animal slaughtering, taming, i’m not sure about hauling chunks, i can’t remember.

Hey man. Enjoying the series. Good job keeping everyone alive up to this point! Not sure if you knew this but a lot of settings can be copy/pasted, like for sleep schedules, bills, storage settings, etc. There are also shortcut keys for every action/order you can issue. Might speed things up for you.

This makes me wanna go on a rimworld binge

I subbed bc of rimworld and I'm very happy with this new series

:D Thanks for the great video! Sooo many colonists.

Yes, more ants gameplay to inject into my veins, I need more

When changing medicine restrictions and the like. You can just hold down left click and drag your cursor down. That will change them to the medicine you started off on, a lot quicker. Also, you can copy/paste bills at workstations. There is a small white paper in the corner you can press on.

Great video lol. Your rimworld thumbnails are amazing. I’ve said that before but it needs to be said again.

Love it. But you should start making pemican for solar flares. And set up a heal root patch, so that when one of your colonists get the plant level to plant it they will.

So close to 100k, man!

also, if you want to lower difficulty: when making new colony, make your own scenario by going into scenario editor. it's fairly intuitive, and you can alter and tweak some things here from a menu that can do lots of fun things. like lowering difficulty, selecting starting items, pawns, and other supplies. you can also change your method of arrival. you can since raids are scaled via wealth, once inside the scenario editor, you find the modifiers for things like economy and selling price (dont worry, they're all in a list. just have to navigate some menus) and make the values between 100 (input is %) and around 25-30. 30% is turning out to be pretty weak. i decrease sell price otherwise i get overloaded with wealth; tweak as you see fit. i'm prtty low, 20% maybe? You can make it so all colonists have a specific trait, or all pawns everywhere. you can set up events and encounters, drop pods, merchants, any event. it's nuts, and it can be one in vanilla) from that point, you should be able to save the scenario and then start a new colony as normal, selecting your custom one from the list.

Cassandra Classic is clearly intimidated by the sheer mass of humanity you have, somehow and probably through dark magic, constructed a settlement out of and she dares not to send armies your way.

The one guy cloud watching in a warzone "how good is the serenity"

This man + this game = an endless goldmine cornucopia of mildly disturbing non-sequiturs Er, Gulag Cornucopia

you can fix it by opening up task manager and going to the details tab after selecting more details and look for the game in the processes, then right click, go to priority, and select high.

Oh look at mister nice guy giving the gulag a hospital. Could you plant a massive coca tree farm and feed everyone off those? They'd get a mood boost and don't need cooking but dunno if it's enough.

Amazing idea! Keep it up!

That humane end to the Mega Sloth reminded me of the cow seen in Me, Myself, and Irene.

If you want an easy way to build a 12 range rounded killbox: Equip a pawn with a chain shotgun and use their range guide while drafted as an outline for building. You can use different weapons for different ranges.

I let out a big "what!?" when you said you didn't need electricity...

I thought you would be more distraught about the fire, instead we get: FIRE AND BRIMSTONE!!

Your youtube channel is a certified banger

Hot tip: For easier management of friendly fire and formations, click and hold 'go to', drag until desired formation has appeared. I'd bet you've figured this out by now, but in case you haven't it's a really helpful tool.

Imagine if RimWorld got game mechanic that you could toggle automatic equipping weapons that would be based on Colonists' Shooting and Melee skills, their traits and also weapons' stats. This way, if you got more colonists, and just got new weapons, you should no longer check every single one of them for their stats to choose respective weapon, but they would take a gun that would potentially be the best for them.

Jeeeez i LOVE your videos Btw few mods could make your life on Rim much easyer ( like : Everybody gets one , deep storage or alows tool)

_There's nothing about this Gulag that's metaphorical, comrade_

"hello friends welcome back to our metaphorical gulag" "in the last episode we established F O O D" this is such an oxymoron XD

28:49 Eeeekkk! No, Pool is known as pool. Billiards is it's own game played with just 3 balls.

Just a recommendation, try to create zones for your colonists to work inside of. You can just create a two-block zone for each bed/room, but then assign their work space via zoning. It helps keep pawns out of areas that they shouldn't be, and it might assist with the 100 block radius issue (for eating). You should be able to assign zoning in their schedule.

Excel and Legos 😂 that got to me oh gosh ahahah

Me: I have four colonists and i hardly can keep track of them all Vidso: Colonist go brrrr

Troubleshooting, anything designated trouble is shot.

"It's like Microsoft Excel with Legos." That's an apt Steam review.

You've come so far man idk if u remember me,i used to be called alfie and i was in your getting over it streams, great vids man keep it up

aaa that 1 poor guy that has no bed at the bottom still sleeps on the floor till this day .
