we cut it close today. got done uploading like 2 seconds ago XD DONT FORGET TO LIKE AND SHARE THE VIDEO :)

My 20 year game ended with an elite group of soldiers destroying the last void base on the map. For this last base, I decided to install Powerful Faction Bases, a decision that would lead to the death of almost all of my fire team. The fire team was lead by a man who had been there since the beginning, a former glitterworld soldier by the name of Kristoph. He had been through everything: the meat grinder that had been the first strike, the retaliatory raids, the counter-strikes afterwards. It all lead to this final base assault. After years of fighting against the void menace, the fireteam had assemble a smorgasbord of devastating weaponry. It almost wasn't enough. The raid occurred at the dead of night on Jugust 13, and opened with a firing of doomsday rockets and concentrating bombing of anti-grain warheads. It had taken a good chunk of their forces, but not enough to prevent the slaughter to come. The mutant enemies you have to fight are absolutely nasty in melee, and I had the misfortune of not killing them fast enough. In a span of 20 seconds, half the fire team was missing torsos, heads, and limbs. Kristoph's son James was the first to go down, his head crushed to nothing by a titan. Kristoph himself lost an arm trying to save another soldier who was struggling to get ripped to shreds by an amputator. A second bombing had given my forces enough breathing space to regroup and win the day. A group of ancillary colonists arrived in a second transport gathering the dead and dying. I ended the game with the burying of the dead, and the final construction of the monument dedicated to the colonists that were lost in this bloody conflict.

Don't forget to bring a builder with fuel and 80 metal, 3 components. You can build a drop pod and send and receive supply mid raid.

"Oh hey, a Raider Base" "Yeah, like always, turn the Ships Scanner on that spot. We aren't landing" "Go over the weapons console and turn the Punishers over" "One there... and one there... and between those two buildings" "Let's fire off 4 or 5 salvos" *I Lean back in my Devilstrand Armchair and watch the orbital bombardment go on as the pirates have zero chance to do anything*

Psycasts make quick work of bases, and most everything else as well. Shields, Skip enemies on to IED's, invisibility -> aoe rage and have them kill each other, etc. Easy, pretty safe, and repeatable.

The VOID mod is super fun. I've gotten so many cyborg parts from those buggers, and even managed to capture and recruit one in the last raid. Soon I will have an army of genetically-engineered cyber warriors!

I'm 2 minutes in and there's been two typos already. I think Noobert is finally losing his mind

just a tip: if the base is around hills, you can hide under them to get cover from mortars

Me: *raids multiple outpost for my bois Thor, Odin, and Mimir* Me a few days later dealing with a seige: "I've done everything you asked now please grant me but one wish,..... save my chinchillas from these savages!"

I've been needing a guide on this, thanks Noobert

me, with SRTS Bombers mod: I call this move, the Dresden Style also me with tons of Androids: I call this, the Skynet Style also me with Gas Shells mod: I call this, Passchendaele style also me with tons of Vanilla Expanded Security Artillery: I call this, Verdun Style

If you have save our ship the shuttles can be mega useful, you can feed an entire raiding party on 20 survival meals

making friends is kind of a negative point - at least for the way the game is coded right now. when the game rolls for raids on you it defaults to robots if the dice roll falls on a friendly faction. so keeping those weak tribals hostile is actually a really good thing

2:03 B R A G I G N G RIGHTS Also, shortly before: losing and loosing. Pls melee your proofreader, Noobert

Good work on fixing the blackboard flickering! And informative video! Fun to watch 👌🏼

Your videos were super helpful in getting started... Now almost 400 hours into Rimworld I'm just watching for the commentary. Much love ya Psycho

I dont even play this game but i watched the entire video

Ah it was like this, but I was the single colonist being raided by 20 guys thanks to Randy being random and sending a death squad to ruin my 1 hour starter solo run.

Android demigods are a pretty effective strategy too

You have me figured out now. I always upvote for Wilhelm scream.

Noobert, I gotta sincerely commend you for all the hard work and editing you've put into this video, doing these kind of explanation animations is very time consuming. I speak from experience, because I've done it before, so just know, I appreciate you a lot for putting so much effort into this one and all your other videos!

Oh man, I remember having an insane run and gun colonist. Jogger with bionic legs, they were moving at like 10c/ps, with dead eye trait. They'd just run circles around everyone

I love the ship mod , I always have 2 ships , one for transporting goods and trading and one for attacking , I land build a quick mortar and start making a defensive position , I strike them from far and after the battle I land the second ship and send the first one home ,them use the colonist to deconstruct and harvest the base of all resources and them I left with. this mods is absolutely great and I don't know how the vanilla expanded team never made a upgraded version of vanilla drop pods or something

The two dislikes are from the people who shot the chinchilla at the start of the video

Vanilla Player: Uses tactics and plans ahead what to bring for the attack Me with SRTS: "AIRSTRIKES FOR EVERYONE!"

Do recommend getting duel welding. Some mod weapons are considered 2 handed, but with duel welding you can use 2 assault rifles or 2 plasma guns "40k mod". Yayo's combat 3 makes plate armor superior then power armor when using higher quality metals and Armor value has meaning along with AP. Get to the chopper mod for transport, cheaper builds, and larger cargo space also yes some chopper can bomb targets. My final 2 recommended mods are gene seed and doom mod to use against the Void faction. For the love of randy use those two I have lost 10+ bases to the void faction!!! Those guys keep sending raids at a constant rate till my last pawn gets his head rip off. Never raid the void base with out a plan!!!

0:27 raiding without an helmet is begging to be shot in the eyeball despite having your power armor on!

I consider a true victory in rimworld when the only thing left on the map is me and my allies

Dope editing Zack. Definitely been improving with each video. Keep up the great work

I have the vehicle frame Mod, and lucked out on one of my bases; there was a broken down tank. After about a year of mining, research, etc. I paid a visit to the raiders down the road from me. Left a smoking ruin, and gained a ton of goodwill from other factions as no one liked them. Sometime I'd like to try that with raiding insect hives with flamethrower tanks.

You get a subscribe and a like for making this a simple video and not dragging out the explination for a half hour

lovin these vids!

"everyone knows in a game of rock paper scissors... nuke beats all" best quote of the day XD

god man, i wish all my classes were like this video... im laughing like hell while learning!!

I once attacked a raider base, utilising a tornado generator left behind by a raid on my own base by forces of the same enemy faction. I got close enough to unleash it right in the centre of their base and fled to a safe zone to watch the carnage. The enemies left alive tried to assault my small force but we were armed with alot of plasma weapons including a plasma sword. It was a good day that day.

Even though I don't raid bases at all, I still find it helpful.

I took 2 of my best fighters to attack pirate camp of 5. They did well but my base got raided by manhunter boomalopes followed by a mechcluster.

How I deal with bases with mortars is with android tiers mod I make dozens of cheap t1 androids and send them in drop pods into the centre of the base to swarm the mortars with cheap weapons. Once I'm done with that, just position them around and overload their cores to explode them before sending my main fighting force.

The first one ever done which was yesterday was insane, i was only fighting one of the lower tribes so they only had bows and pilas and my dudes had miniguns but damn it was so many of them it made the fight pretty close none of my pawns died but they damn well got close

Thank you noobert 🙂

0:00 "HAHA, we killed one of their dogs" *John Wick have joined the game*

always consider what weapons are effective for crowd control if raiding tribals

Easiest way to raid a faction base is to use the psychic animal pulse device. Bring an attack group to the faction base that has a large carry weight. Cut down trees or ,bring wood, and construct a small barracks; often you can use a ruin or mountainside Place the war party inside and activate the pulser. Typically the animals wipe out the base and you can wait out the animals or finish it hem off. Bring enough supplies to build a cargo pod and launcher and you can harvest the area, butcher the animals and launch the loot to your base. The only difficult part of base raiding is logistics.

That was a spicey meme. Brilliant

My go to strategy for raiding is install alpha animals, tame a bunch of lightning beasts and at least one gallatross and unleash hell on the enemy base.

Thanks to giddy up and run & gun, my colony has a herd of anima colossus and meadow ave. So my colony rides into battle on the back if giant colourful birds with near livecraftian demi-god war beasts at their side. I also use rim of magic so there are a mixture of magic users and power armor wearing walking tanks with bionics galore. I failed many raids and had my people limp back home half-dead many times, but now? They are a force of nature. Also thanks to the OP-ness of trading narcotics and the quarry mod, I have an army of T1 and T2 androids weilding miniguns that I use as disposable attack drones, usually dropped in via drop pod on harder bases as my riders and beasts attack simultaneously. They create utter chaos and destroy power lines, crippling the base just as my "regular" forces (would have) come in range of their turrets.

can I share one of my trick?? I found that you can avoid getting mood debuff in (Executing prisoners, organ harvest, butchering human) by sending all units out colony except cannibal, psycho, bloodlust or create new colony outside then transfer prisoners or corps there to perform there

Can you add subtitle pls? I cant hear very well

The best way to raid a base is literally hide behind stonewalls whit 3 colonist whit range weapon and 2 melees, shoot at enemy walls,sandbag etc they gonna start the attack go hide and wait then they will come 1 by 1 to his dead and like this you can raid a 20 enemy colony whit 5 of your colonist

Raiding tip: transport pod of boomalopes/boomrats

And remember, raiding is not something you do within the first couple of days, it takes lots of preparations and that takes TIME.

The best way to raid settlement is to destroy their generator and attack at night, generally settlement generated with battery solar panel and generator attacking at night render their solar panel useless. More parts to dismantle

oooo boy time to use my dooms day against imps

Hey can you make a guide on making money? Aka drug farms, crafting etc

I might need this because the broken empire is going to raid me any second now

Your videos are amazing

thanks 4 the commitment 2 the good shit

large faction bases messes up the outpost generation of the mechanoid expansion. u then have a large faction base defended by mechanoids and no sources of mechanoid components. Also its really goofy to see an inqisitor mech to man a mortar

Every time I see VOID man, I just hear the Payday Cloaker sound effect.

Noobert doing the "u u or ^ ^" made my day better Always worship the fox

Nice

playing vikings and every single time i have people caravan away for literally anything theres always 2 pawns that skitz out not long after reaching destination

don't even need to blow up the solar panel, just 2 pawns with sniper rifles to take out the single power line between it and the rest of the turrets. Also drop pod some boomalopes on death's door strategically.

I feel proud

one of my pawns died to an infection returning from a raid, just before they could get into the medpod

Recently did a raider run using srts and vanilla expanded pirates to make a near unstoppable army that would decimate anyone who had the audacity to exist near me before my colony even arrived on the planet. How dare they ruin my nice, distant view!

Yay!

2:03 “bragigng rights” Nice editing 👍🏻

What was the music at 0:25?

Last time I wiped out some savages I just called in empire aid and sat back and watched the fireworks.

I purged some tribals recently with power armor wearing pawns with flamethrowers and mortars, it was a great time. It was a great time, a waste of time, but a great time. Most times other wise I use a pawn with a long range gun or two to pick off mortars, then I bring some mortars. At one point I got enough pawns to flank them with tranq rifles for food and leather.

Run and Gun is fun... until a stray rocket from friends happen. Poor Chuckles

I'm impressed he spelled losing wrong and right on the same slide

I’m on my first playthrough. I’m trying to fight my first tribal faction… they have like 25 peeps.. I brought like 4 combat effective pwns. I only came to get components, cus I am out and cannot even make my first rifles.. I’m in a sad spot

F in the chat for Mr. Fluffybum please.

The void faction is definitely one of the funniest factions out there.

hmm that pirate at the beginning with the knife looks and sounds familiar, i'm sure he's a handsome and trust worthy fellow i should invite him to join my colony

I feel like the NPC raiders who attacked my base this morning watched this guide. The bastards came full force when my power(and therefore turrets) were out and I hadn't finished building my walls around my base. Luckily superior tactics won the day. And they provided plenty of organs to eat. I mean sell. I mean we sold the delicious meatbags filled with organs into slavery. The ones we didn't eat.

That’s a top quality meme indeed.

The easiest way to raid is to simply mass produce tier 1 androids and initiate the search and destroy option

The best resource of raiding is sentient property

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD

For Mr. Fluffybum, lest we forget o7

5. Profit I'm playing with glitter world and considering how fvking rss. Extensive it is. I also use the following mods to support it. SRTS MISC. Robots and misc robots++ Transport pod mk.2 Bone of madness Raiding is just other means of gathering Rss be it metals, meats or human leather. Stripping the very lands of it's valuables just to make those precious beta poly

What is on ur pawns head?

Noice

What is the secret faction you acted like you were afraid of? Look like a cloaked pawn with a gas mask? I am a huge Fallout fan and feel like it goes well with rimworld theme, so I downloaded the Brotherhood of Steel and Enclave factions... The Enclave has been pushing my s*** in real good recently... they even have lore accurate acidifiers that destroyed their gear on death that goes along with the original fallout 1 & 2 lore. So if you don't manage to wound them, you lose chances of getting their far superior gear/tech. Kinda sucks, but makes it less OP than being able to equip your entire Squad with Gatling laser guns after one raid. Instead you're lucky if you get one gun/armor

I prefer sanding 25 enslaved prisoner with plate armor and mini gun

I play in builders mode........ Reason: I hate risking my colonist I hate killing other pawn I just want to build my base till I'm satisfied XD

Food is also a must, mr streamer ok then ? I never run around in the world much beside those weather event if i dont want to fight then just nuke the place

*me, a person who prefers Neolithic playthroughs that focus on light armorn great bows and molotovs*: *laughs nervously*

Am I psychotic for filling drop pods with boom rats?

more vids quickk

Waiting for the algorithm to pick up this channel dangit

I’ve never been stable enough to raid someone else

Wait a second you can raid other colonies?

What do tacos taste like

Should have watched this before I sent 4 t2 androids equipped with bolt action rifles to their demise so I lost 4 ponds and a heli

Brings up Vanilla Expanded, forgets VFE insect bases
