"While you were raiding tribals and killing caravans, I was studying the monosword in my gamer cavern. Fueled by Mushritos and Mountain Go, I am unstoppable."

It makes sense that colonists that love being in the dark still get darkness debuffs but i just don't understand why a completely blind colonist who already can barely work loses even more stats while being in the dark. Blind colonist. Works and walks slower. In the darkness.

This is hilarious someone joins stream: "What ideology are you going for?" Amphibian: "neckbeard mole people" "Is the preferred weapon a katana?" Damn right it is lol

My colony are cannibal transhumanists who seek perfection though turning all flesh, including their own into fuel for machines it’s led to some gut bustingly funny situations. My favourite is a gourmand colonist having food binge break mid combat and deciding to just eat one of the downed raiders arms.

So glad you are making an ideology based around how I live my life.

Death by random squirrel attack is a very RimWorld way to go.

Oh btw, the guy in chat had the light and combat thing backwards, and your explanation of research and light actually explains it perfectly if you think it out. Being visible, high light low cover, makes you an easier target, yet being in the dark doesn't affect your chance to hit someone who's highly visible. Most kill boxes have the shooting room dark, and the kill box bright.

I agree on the Muffalos. I would have rather seen them keep milk and furs and just produce slower - they reminded me of the real tribes that traveled with domesticated elks; using their fur, milk, and meat to survive.

Put pillar and completely roof the map

AA, you have such great storytelling and humor! I hope to keep watching you for years~

1:32:25 It's nice that emergent game play led you to use a stereotypical neckbeard sleep pattern.

1:35:40 - Fun Fact: Humans actually Evolved around "Polyphasic Sleep" schedules, it's referenced alot in Homer and Plato's works, as well as a litany of medieval manuscripts. Just constant references to "Second Sleep" which previously had been believed to be mistranslations but more and more new information is cropping up supporting the idea that Monophasic Sleep Schedules really weren't the norm until the spread of Electricity and Industrialization. So as it turns out, human beings evolved for hundreds of thousands of years around the idea of Slgoing to bed when the sun went down, then waking up for about 2-3 hours sometime in the middle of the nioght, doing most of your household chores during this time, like cleaning, keeping the hearth burning, etc, then going back to sleep for another 2-4 hours until sunrise.

This ideology DLC is really gonna separate the min maxers from the RP enjoyers The amount of stuff you can micromanage is quite overwhelming and most of the DLC looses value if you just take stuff for it's mechanical value

"Rimworld meta was unethical" Me: I'm not playing this DLC till war crimes expanded 2 gets updated

you can turn the cave floor into fungal gravel to grow the fungus on.

You need Waifu sleeping bags, it will come in a mod for sure. They sound like socially awkward postmodern dwarfs.

To be fair, cannibal has always been super over powered.

Idk why people were always so scared of mountains. Almost every single playthrough I did I ended up with at least half of my base inside of a mountain. Knowing how to manipulate infestations and set up an easy incinerator made them the perfect homes.

I wish the ideologies slowly grew to make the start less jarring. Like living underground would eventually become a need, or after 4 colonists lose eyes it becomes something they want

You can go into their outfit settings and manually forbit certain apparel. Its under the assign tab. It works similar to stockpile settings.

I love Rimworld's music so much. So relaxing, even when you're hip deep in fire and starvation.

"Rimworld is long term. You can spend 20 hours on one campaign." I nearly laughed my dinner out my nose. 20???? I must be doing it wrong. Days.... Weeks long building....

So painful watching him grow the fungus outside

Fun fact: if u choose the darkness meme they become automatically night owls

Watching aa vods while on smokeleaf really makes the disturbing thought of organ harvesting sound great

Just gonna say- I have bad insomnia so its really hard to sleep but for some strange reason I always fall asleep to these videos. Its a godsend😂

Wow hearing you speak about narcolepsy was really cool. As someone with the condition myself, it's nice to see some people get that it definitely isn't a fun thing to live with

a good way to make the early game less slow that I've found is to give your ideology 1 or 2 festivals that if good can bring a recruit in to the colony. helps a lot with getting started and they all get a huge bonus of about +30% from being a newly founded colony.

The word "spoon" is forever associated with what I still think of as my most successful DND game as a DM due to the major artifact weapon being a giant-ass spoon, so a colonist by that name who's doing my favorite menial activity makes me very happy.

And you run into the biggest problem with rimworld unmodded.... stack sizes!

"Spoon is most MVP as right now, he cleared out whole mountain", ah yes the fella who got almost clapped by an squirrel who threw tantrum against humanity.

I'm extremely glad someone else immediately thought "mole people". It's actually so fun.

tbh i love the ideology expansion, its really fun creating a religion that either ulitimately helps or fucks over the colonists and it creates a lot of fun and challenging situations

May I suggest giving them "white knight" color scheme to go with their "hover handing" techniques.

"Hey you wanna try neckbeardism?" 🤣

Yaaaay. Thanks for quick vod. About cannibals. This thing about "not eating humans = unhappy" works in 1.3 not just Ideology.

You have an amazing voice my man, I listen to your gameplay to help me sleep almost every night 😴

I love you ambiguous amphibian. I have the largest mancrush. You improve my life and I feel nostalgia everytime I hear your voice.

I've always bored into a hill or a mountain. Way better than square buildings. One last thing... Vulkan Lives!!!!

39:00 I think you would have been fine with the small rooms if you smoothed the walls and floors.

I love watching the raw content and seeing you do everything

You’ve got a good voice, real smooth. Your voice is especially smooth when you’re talking about kneckbeard mole people.

the first whole minute of this video explains SO much about your current mental health

If you want to get wasted drink every time AA says “don’t question it.”

Finally !!! They released Dwarf Fortress on Steam :)

Make sure to check the info pages on the plants with the 'i' symbol. For example, Fibercorn has a fertility requirement of 20% and a light requirement of 30%, meaning you can even grow it on the fungal gravel with a dark light (albeit very slowly).

Neckbeard race should be constantly unhappy and disappointed with pretty much everything except for the accommodation and food quality

I just found out that corpses on shelves dont cause mood debuffs! Stick them on shelves in freezer for free animal food!

AA They don't get upset if their not wearing preferred clothing (unless it has to do with their role like leader, miner person etc.) it just gives them a mood buff if their wearing it, also you can't make them enjoy corpses, you can just make them not care about them.

I recently found your KZfaq channel with kenshi videos and damn . I found shit ton of contents worth watching while eating your daily meals . Keep up the work brother

@ambiguousamphibian when you say early game is to slow for people you could add a couple of aggressive factions so there is more combat. i love everything start to finish it's great to watch in general and 10/10 background noise to sleep to because you do a great job with recording and balancing audio levels. keep up the awesome work!

Fell asleep with this on and had the craziest dream about it when I woke up I was so confused

LaCroix demanding a sacrifice? I will present them one already zested orange. Flavor for another 3 million units.

Love you mentioning VideogameDunkey! Makes me feel good when creators appreciate each other's work

As a fungus-dorito eating neckbeard communist who lives in a cave I definitely appreciate this video

I've been waiting for you to do some Ideology since it was announced. I'm not disappointed.

A colonist encounters a squirrel and almost dies, amazing.

Is it just me or do they look like the Spanish Inquisition? Quite unexpected

Chickens and cows are best for eggs and milk. Both of which are great for a constant flow of fine means without needing to hunt. Labrador retrievers and huskies are best for hauling as they won't need training over time. Horses and donkeys are best caravan animals due to their speed. Donkey also have 3% wildness which means they won't need to be trained much over time. Alpacas and muffalos for wool and when you need extra caravan carry capacity. Megasloths and thrumbos for face tanking insects. Thrumbo > devilstrand > rhino > megasloth leather for dusters 👀

A rat pit for corpse disposal is so medieval and Rimworld, I hope it happens

they’re all living in an amish paradise

Absolutely love that you're making a colony of neckbeard ninjas 🤣

For my molemen I blotted out the sun by roofing the entire map off(minus the edges you cant build on). XD worked perfectly. Edit:Would like to add that sometimes during a raid you will see enemies collapse roofs on themselves when they decide to take out a piece of wall or pillar that you have holding up the map wide ceiling.

If your wealth to colonist ratio is good then the game actually doesn't scale up the difficulty that much. Let's say you have 10 colonists all with the best armor/weapons and you've a surplus amount of gold and other valuable items in your colony. In that case the difficulty will scale up dramatically. Let's say you've 50 colonists with smgs and duster + flak armor. Not a whole lot of valuable items, the difficulty won't scale up much at all.

Oh! I'm glad KZfaq recommend this to me, didn't know you have a second channel! Your vids are great and i enjoy your humor !

Geez, thought the great commentary would only be in your edited videos, but it's just as great live! Wonderful

"Too much sun" says the one that threw up.

Havent gotten through the whole video yet but if you go under the misc tab, there is something called "fungal gravel" you can put it under certain mountain floors and it allows you to grow the nutrifungus indoors, but it is only 70% fertile! edit: i put this comment at 47:00 not one minute later someone in twitch chat mentioned it

This is why Squirrel Girl is the strongest character in the MCU.

In my experience, the fastest-feeling early game is to start with naked brutality and increase raiding frequency with cassandra classic losing is fun. High risk, but you get stuff really quickly early on, especially if you roll a bloodlust characteristic in character choice

"Light yourself and have your enemies in the dark" Well that is just the opposite of how it should be...

I've been waiting for your glorious rim return king.

So this inspired me to make my own mole people colony with the impassible map tile mod and another mod that gives way more fungus types that are farmable. Definitely love my mole people colony.

So these dudes are kinda like nerdy Falmer. I dig it, no pun intended.

Saved from a malnourished squirrel by a warg... I love it.

At long last, the ideology video I’ve wanted to see since 2 weeks ago

1:47:53 "Make them all labor into their flu induced deaths" - Big CDC 2022 vibes

Neck-beardism acolytes live not in their mothers' basements, but in the world's basement.

At least the squirrel that attacked Spoon didn't ride into battle on an opossum or he would be gone. lol

I haven't been watching you for more than a week but this was an insta-click for me

Love the music its almost like im actually in an elevator watching you play rimworld.

doing Medevil runs with Ideology will be really interesting and add a lot to it

1:39:22 Not to get religious, but in the bible there is someone named Job that was pretty much got tortured by the devil and his friends.. In hebrew it means persecuted or hated so I'm hoping that came afterwards or his mother was like Labor's.

"Oh all of our visitors got the flu. Can we kill them?" I love that mindset.

An underappreciated bit is to use the chunks as sitting places and for tables. It also fits your ideology.

This series needs a playlist.

If you press right click on the allow tool you can unforbid all items!

I am so thankful to AA for bringing me to the videogamedunkey gaming compound video

Also , You did get the bonus benefit with Robes - If you are not wearing the robe and hat - You would only have 1 Mood point out of two.

I cant help but to say this but NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!!!

About narcolepsy, as i suffer from something similar: you don't actually fall asleep. you suffer a cataplexy, basically a revers seizure, so all of you muscles go completly limp , while you are fully awake, which must be terrifing. on top of that you usually suffer from extreme hypersomnia, so need for a lot more sleep and hightend daytime sleepiness. so beeing drowsie and sleepy is totally a thing in narcolepsy, but usually you don't suddenly fall asleep, but suffeer a cataplexy - which seems very similar from the outside.

I'VE BEEN WAITN FOR THIS MOMENT FOR ALLLL MY LIIIYYFFFE

Not your average lets-play. Veri epik

Think you missed out on naming the place "Totino's Bed Roll" Solid playthrough my man

Hmm, KZfaq unsubscribed me from you. I thought they fixed that. Anyway, liking these long stream uploads, thanks!

Infestations? More like free meat.

I startet RimWorld and after playing one week straight I needed to stop

Cannibalism prob got a debuff, but it's really for the better. It's way funner to have to go hunt humans on a consistent basis.

...ngl, they look more like stereotypical Amish than neckbeards with that facial hair and bowler hat. edit: also, if you have tunneler you can make Fungal Floors. these floors count as nutrition-making soil for the purposes of animal pens. so yes, you can raise animals under a mountain - just make sure the area is warm to avoid infestations.

As the king of the neckbeard mole people I approve of these colony expirments.
