So I've been reading about how good this game is. Every time I watch one of your vids I recognize I gotta get my hands on this game.

So what I'm hearing is: Early-game budget option: *Boars* powered by corpse freezer. Must-haves: *Boomrats* for Stargate Atlantis-esque droneswarm. *Huskies* for hauling and emergency/nuisance melee. Optional: *Chickens* for eggs & *Cows* for milk. *Horses* for caravans. Maniac option: *Thrumbo* tanks. (Why you'd need one whdn you have perfectly serviceable Jedi with shield belts I don't know)

Elephants are wildly underrated. A pain to feed at times but damn is it fun to watch them trample tribals. Also make fantastic bullet sponges

One of my colonies currently has 358 chickens with 59 fertilized eggs and I have a special area set up for the chickens which is this wide open area where their own crop fields are so they can graze but all they do is circle their chicken coop and its causing my frame rate to tank. So don't breed to many chickens or they'll start their own cult

I tried to tame a thrumbos with a low level tamer and he died in one hit, the description was that he was stabbed through the torso from the thrumbos horn.

humans are another great pet, they have great leather, and can help your doctor be a better doctor

I currently have a farming colony with around 25 boomalopes though I never let them out of my barn. So, so much chemfuel!

Rimworld is likely the only game I'll play for the foreseeable future (and have ever played on pc anyway, since my laptop is a potato), thank you for your amazing, entertaining cartoon animations for a game I adore and have probably play over a hundred (100) hours of

I love your starting sequence. Super funny and engaging. Great video!

The power play is raising a colony-bred thrumbo. Wowee 60 day gestation and a 4 year wait for adulthood

I was trying to find the answer to a question that absolutely should have been answered in this video, but it's waaaaay too difficult to find WHERE in this video it might be hidden.

Here is a good fact to remember when it comes to animals. Dromedary are the best pack animals(even better in hot climates) with the exception of places that go below -22C. Why? They produce milk, meaning a return on that food you give them(even if its very little). Their leather is one of the best heat insulators you can easily get.(Yes they carry less then a muffalo but only by 8 and you get milk in return) While the yak is also decent(more aimed at those cold biomes the Dromedary cant live) its hunger rate is higher and carry cap lower. Only exception is if you live in the cold boime and want that muffalo wool.

The only animals I've found useful in this game are boomalopes, muffalo and huskies. Boomalopes give tons of chemfuel for little to no input, muffalo are great pack animals and provide bluefur which makes the warmest parkas in the game, and huskies are the best in base hauling animal. There is an argument for chickens since you can eat the eggs and also for something like cows since they provide milk but they're overall worse than the good 3. Alpacas are a good alternative for muffalo if you're short on food and rats can be decent for eating corpses but rats are worse than a single molotov. I personally keep a stone box in the corner of my colonies that gets filled with kibble and a male/female pair of boomalopes, huskies and muffalo. All their offspring gets released to graze across the map while I use them for hauling and getting free textiles to sell and chemfuel to power drop pods to sell everything. Its kind of dark but sometimes they die on the map from starvation, raiders, or wild animals and they get turned right back into kibble to feed the pair I've imprisoned to get more animals. Its peak rimworld I've tried training thrumbo before and unfortunately they just eat an absurd amount of meat and only give thrumbo fur which isn't that good

Hey Noobert! it's been time from the upload of the video but I have some very very useful tips about animals. I started a "holy warriors of the Bible" theme story. Of course I placed my colony at the middle of a desert with only source of food the milk from my herd of goats. 1st tip: The herd stay automatically nearby your colonists. I set an allow area that cover the whole map except the food storage but still my goats do not want to move around the map to search for food (few spots of grass and cactus trees). This mechanic is very useful to defend your herd from preditors but makes the animals starving very quicklly 2nd tip: To prevent my goats starve to death I formed a caravan to send them to the nearest no desert biome (it was 4 tiles of tundra in the middle of the desert), then I noticed that if you put your animals in the caravan by the caravan menu, then your animals they start to not recognise the allowing area and go to your storage to fed themselves and immediately after, leave the map with the caravan. To prevent this happened you must put your animal into caravan not by the caravan forming menu but manually by clicking them few seconds before your shepherd leaves the map. Then they just start following the shpherd and do not raid your food storage. To make this more sure and easier you can set a allowing zone near the edge of the map as a "animals' caravan forming area" 3rd tip: When your animals exit the map and enter the world map, automatically they fill their food bar. You can order them to return immediately after they leave and they will have no need of food for a short time (each animal has different need, my goats they do not need food for 2-3 days after herding). By this method you can fed your animals very easily with no spend of time and resources. Just a shepherd spend 2-3 hours per 2-3 days. It's a large comment, sorry if I make mistakes, as English as I know is by KZfaq videos like that.

Shearing and milking improve animal skill, so there's a reason to keep those practice alpacas around.

I know this is an old video, but I just gotta say: Randy looooooves giving me weird animals. Other people get raids; most recently, I got 12 tame *cobras* dropping in to join my colony in a game restricted to tribal tech. If I don't keep the males and females separate, they breed. A lot. I keep about 30 on-hand right now, and I can breed more whenever I need them. Fortunately, I have a mod that allows you to train all animals to do anything, and these particular colonists do not eat meat (veganism and tree-hugging and all that is part of their religion), so they just scavenge predator kills and toss the pre-killed animals (as well as pre-killed raiders and predators) into the cobra pen on the regular, and...I have a horde of attacking, hauling, rescuing cobras. Them + a bunch of clawer dryads mean my colonists don't do much fighting.

I'm 57.9 hours in on Steam, that Raid sound is already right up there with the Metal Gear "!" alert

If you have a thrumbo or alphabeaver pet, it may eat your anima tree and give mood debuff for everyone.

I just tamed a spelopede from a defeated infestation

I just noticed that the mortar crew is watching a Noobert vid nice touch lol

If you have tamed carnivores, the animal will hunt for meat if none is available in the base. This can be good, since they don't tend to eat the entire animal (free animal kill and you can butcher the rest), but it can also be bad if the tamed animal meets another carnivore. I had a bonded Warg that ventured out from the base for food and got killed by a cougar.

Your videos are amazing and deserve way more attention, also do you ever plan on doing an alpha animals/biomes guide?

in my first colony, i had tamed boomalopes for free chemfuel. both sexes can and SHOULD be milked. always tame boomalopes, especially if you have SOS2

Hey Noobert your videos are the best! I'd be really interested to know what the best animals are in 1.2 with the inclusion of Vanilla Expanded Animals and Alpha Animals especially in regards to hauling and textile production/harvesting. If you have any insight I'd greatly appreciate it!

Oh I got another tips about taming. If your colony got "inspired taming" you can take any animal with 100% success rate, even if your colonist only have 1 level of taming. Now that makes me think, Have you make a video about "Inspiration" system yet Noobert? If not then this might be a good idea for a video :D Also thank you for the video, we enjoyed it Everytime

The mortar missing was a good touch

Some nice tips there and as always fun animations!

II wait behind sandbags and try to funnel enemies in single file. Then if they get close BOOM 12 attack alpacas 2 elephants and 2 cassowaries. They become the meat shields for my colonists. Sometimes a couple alpacas die but they become packaged survival meals for trips away.

Thanks im about to play rimworld 1.2 royalty new colony this wilm help me alot

Amazing video!!!

I remember ruining somone psychically so much that the prisoner became a wild man

7:02 rip pc

Gotta say sheep are the best to breed, an excellent wool duster is like 500 silver and 2 sheep produce 90 wool (just enough for it) every 10 or so days. Getting 20 of those guys is a gold mine of crafting exp and silver. They are also very easy to keep, they don't eat meat (meals and paste work if you're in a pinch tho) so planting some hay and just slapping a stockpile in the "sheep room" is all you need to keep the wool growin' and the profits goin'

Had a trainsr with 11 and got the free 1 tame buff. Seem to get the buff once a year so i think itd the easiest way to grab a thrumbo

Hadn't thought about taming and using boomrats that way. Definitely going to try. Do you have to create a special zone for them to go to to make sure they encounter the enemy? I don't think they can be trained to attack like a timber wolf or other "smart" animal.

this is so well made

Cows give milk Chiken give eggs I love this guy !

Feels weird some store is selling rimworld merch that's unrelated to the creators of the game.

Pairing two Rhinos and a Cougar with my Melee (lvl 20) pawn makes her an almost unstoppable killing machine.

Phew, guess I’m glad I clicked the link and saw that they’re moving to Etsy and shutting their original site down at the end of the month. I almost missed on RimWorld Merch makers!!

this video is all over the place

great video , I love boomaloops , and ships , they are a great combination , sad that it's not practical to have animals in ships

Nice video. Good job

Intro is misleading. There are no z-levels in Rimworld and thus no stairs.

You know when I saw the raid thing I thought god dam it's a Raid Shadow Legends promotion but boy I was wrong. I'm gonna get one for myself for Christmas. Socks or a pillow. :)

i use that it great. i don't even need geo. jsut chemfuel x solar = all sun lamp okay :)

Cool video, very funny!! I have a question, how can I pet a spelopede/megaspider?

Theirs a book by a pimp called Ice Cold, he allso did the beat and treat strategy

So, how do I know when a Thrumbo is tamed by healing? Do I need them to heal fully to know, or does the action of tending one wound have a change to showcase the tamed message? In that case, can I beat him, heal him repetitively?

So we tame thrumbos through Stockholm syndrome. Neat

8:30 feeding your animals humans or insect is really good if you have a nutrient paste dispenser... all you need is a butcher that dont mind butchering "long pork" and putting them on the hoppers... the bad thing is you need to cheese the game to make the meals... unless you have animals with a low hunger bar... it's a waste to feed meals to chickens...

This is soooo useful

Some tips: 1. Slaughter useless animals right at the start, even bonded ones. You'll take a mood hit that lasts a while, but it cancels with all the other bonuses you'll have at the start and saves you a lot of future headaches. Or you can banish the bonded animal: caravan outside the map with the animal then use the caravan menus to remove it from the caravan. 2. A small freezer full of raider corpses can feed many animals basically for free. Zone your pawns away from it tho, so that they don't look inside while training the animals. 3. Most of people's problems with handling animals comes to zoning. Create different Zones for your different animal groups: Dogs get access to the fields and stockpiles with care of keeping them inside the walls so that they're not prey but creating small detached zones outside whenever you want something outside the base hauled. Herbivore haulers mostly only get access to their food zone and the chunk stockpile so that they don't eat your plants when you're not looking. Herbivores non-haulers usually you want them inside your walls if you can help it. Carnivores non-haulers just give them access to the human corpse freezer and a small area outside so that you can train them without looking at corpses. Small pets are kept inside the areas where your pawns hang out. 4. Animals worth keeping: dogs, pack animals, milk producers and herbivore haulers. Mostly in that order and preferably a combination, like Yaks (milk/pack) and Donkeys (haul/pack). Only keep cannon fodder animals (boars and the like) if you can feed them and have enough pawns to have one be constantly training them. 5. Make a habit out of sending all your animals to a safe zone whenever the Raid alarm goes off.

I want you to do about QEE next vid Your choice though! I'm fine as long as you still make more vids!

Noobert really... Can you please disappoint me at least once?! As usual I had much fun watching your video. In fact I'm playing Rimworld couple of years now and I would love to play with you. You know, I'm too old now and need all the laugh I can get to prolonged my life a bit further 😁. I'm looking forward for coop with Lore.. Fingers crossed mate..

I look up “how to feed horses on rim world” but all I get are bullshit guides like I’m on console and a very new player kinda hard to understand😂

i still have no idea how to make a chicken coop

Thanks for great video! I like using Guinea pigs :D They breed fast, are delicious and...I CAN UNLEASH THEM!

Dont let an bleeding boomrat into your base

Do you plan to make to make an updated version for 1.3 with the pen Mechanics?

Hey noob great video i remember when you only had 500 subs lol you have really progressed hope you still remember me

Does anyone know if a trained animal sells for a higher price to caravans ect?

remember when he looked like this?

My Tamer is lvl 16 with burning passion, but Incapable of "Dumb Labor: Hauling" so is he worthless then? Can pick up food to DO the taming?

thanks for a good laugh, enjoy the video.

"Thrumbo taming mechanic" Dude it's called pokemon

RELEASE THE BUTTERFLIES

Talking about having a Boomalope farm, there's currently a contest on RWP. If you'd like to join, we are currently considering extending the deadline. bit.ly/3760RJS

How do you successfully tame an insect?

Had an fox in my tribe and kept killing Hares so the meat I kept getting was amazing

Honestly not sure why you don't have more subscribers.

Ok so idk why Im asking but...if you have animals that you don't want Fighting ( donkeys and stuff) how can I keep them safe...someone attack me resently and killed one of them...idk just wondering if there's a way to keep them safe and outside?

Game: What kind of animals do you want ? Me: Zergs. All of them.

What's the meta on horses? Are they worth it or should I use animals that provide wool or milk as well as fill the role for pack animals?

Im still wondering what animals I should always tame, as I always completely hunt the entire map's worth of animals and just tame some random animals

Make the video short this is hate comments cause there arent any

Chinchillas and guinea pigs breed rapidly and provide precious leather to sew expensive clothes for sale.

The intro LOL

I have a fox, yay!

Bingeing on ur vids lol (you said in one vid comments help)

Alpacas can also be pack animals ;D

I'm at minute 11 and now im afraid you wont talk about the best animal in rimworld... the mighty horse... an herbivore hauler and pack animal!!!

I once managed to tame a thrumbo first try without having to beat it

How do huskies and wolves defend crops ? Is there a special command or will they just kill wild animals nearby on their own without mods ?

How do you “release the boom rats to attack”? Can they be trained to attack like a wolf without mods ?

manhunting got plasma xD

Hey noobert. Found out you can use skip on items. Like on transporting mortar rounds in the middle of mech clusters. Then use flash storm to ignite them. Instead of caravaning every round. Hardest animal to tame from alpha animals is the galbatross. That thing can solo a colony

anyone here know which trader sells cow? or a list of them thank you

👍

Update this please

does he have a cold or something?

Lmao @ the pawn watching Noobert

Whats “intermediate trainability” and how do i train them after that?

But how do I feed all the herbivores I can’t grow enough hay haha

commenting to appease YT overlords

The information is good but the entertainment is meh. I'd rather find something with information priority1, entertainment 4.

damn Stockholm syndrome seems big in this game when it comes to taming

Ahhh they go berserk when there tamer dies? That seems... risky?

Btw Discord link expired 😭
