In Todays video we follow a lone self replicating insect hybrid named Todd as he tries his very best to prepare for the unending flood of babies that grow on his back.
Rimworld's Steam description for the magical robot goblins -
Rimworld is a sci-fi colony sim driven by an intelligent AI storyteller. Generates stories by simulating psychology, ecology, gunplay, melee combat, climate, biomes, diplomacy, interpersonal relationships, art, medicine, trade, and more, wow... cool... these folks do that whilst worshipping insects.
Mods used -
Alpha genes for the fission gene.
Combat Extended
A random assortment of Vanilla Expanded mods
honestly this one is actually pretty vanilla, so I'm not going to make a mod collection. I didn't want to have too many mods because I knew the game would run terribly once the popualtion got massive.

Ill say you manage something extreme like 400, not because its sustainable but because all is breaking apart and you get into a loop of attempting to maintain them, but they just keep breading more. Until those dying will take over those being born, and eventually you end up with a way lower number at which point you could just re-assign them to different tasks and survive, but call it a day

The suppressor (unless they changed it) affects enemies on the map too causing them to lose consciousness early or even arrive totally incapacitated if they have some other health problem.

@ferriusnillan5323 Ай бұрын

Its really is terrifying concept. A colony of sentient beings that can just shuffle a baby off their backs every month, and said babies grow within days, and repeat the cycle, but because they dont have much time to learn, the tactics become desperate, and rather fittingly - inhumane waves of chittering bug people, rushing the dangers of the rimworld with their trusty fists, teeth, and whatever junk they pillage off their dead comrades and enemies. Would be even more funny if there was a mechanic that would naturally put you at odds with other factions as your wealth and power explodes.

Don't underestimate the guinea pigs. I had all but one of my colonists out on a raid, leaving my doctor who was incapable of violence at the base. Suddenly, a single manhunting guinea pig showed up while she was foraging for medicine. She was unable to outrun the guinea pig and it entered the base, and she was ripped apart. The most harrowing part of the ordeal was when she started crawling towards the hospital area leaving a trail of blood, but passed away just before she could make it to the medicine.

1:10: I think it makes sense to think of this as parthenogenesis rather than cloning, and offspring produced parthenogenetically are considered children rather than siblings. I guessed the population would reach the low three digits before something bad happened. That only takes seven uninterrupted generations, and I've seen colonies run with low-three-digit populations and for _way_ more than 175 days. (200 to account for unexpected deaths.) That time estimate didn't account for the fission timer not starting until adulthood, and assumed that your population would get much higher before mass deaths started happening. Also that Hazzor's PC was on par with that guy who did a 200-colonist run.
