People say this is a themed run but honestly this strikes me more like Royalty. You may not run nobles every colony but you still got Psycasts and other goodies too.

Having just been diagnosed with gallstones, the idea of a metal horror beast bursting out of me is really making me squirm.

I can see a new raid type where a couple enemies sit at the edge of the map, hunting animals, and raising them as shamblers.

The Deadlifes gives me an idea: corpse mine field. Step 1. Be in a cold biome or make a cold roofed area Step 2. Deadlife IEDs surrounded by corpses Step 3. Profit They even replenish themselves as long as raiders die near them. :)

Power from the anomalies sounds like lobotomy corporation

Would be really cool if you could Deadlife graves and have the corpses dig themselves out as traps

I feel like this has a lot to offer, but not enough for a lot of people. (I know im excited) We'll see how this dlc will interact and possibly cross with the other dlc's. could be a good time

I guess Tynan needed another million.

Thank you for doing both previews in this video! I was sad when I heard you weren't planning on doing preview 2, because videos like this help me "read" them when my health makes it hard to read text.

I didn't read the two releases because I was waiting for this stream/VOD to be available! Thanks Adam for the overview!

Just caught the end of this, did I read that Anomaly is only a week away?!?! I knew it was a month from the announcement but I'm still surprised it's gone that fast for me! Haven't been able to play RimWorld for months but just got a laptop and it's so on! Can't wait to dig into it myself and especially can't wait to see you explore everything Adam! Your first Biotech playthrough was amazing to watch!

Holy crap the rituals are like way more fun versions of mortars!

The dark study thing is probably just like research. Ill bet the two research tabs can be researched simultaneously, with tables for regular research points and monsters for dark studies points

Thanks Adam! Much appreciated!

I am glad you did this, I know you were debating doing the video for part 2. But I like these preview walk throughs. kind of zen really

This is exactly what i wanted when i saw this DLC. I wanna make a army of ghouls and flesh creatures.

had a few laughts again, thx for the video Adam!

Really interested to see what the endgame looks like for this DLC. I love horror tropes and hoping we get some kind of cataclysmic event or all out cultist war. Glad to see there’s some SCP/lobotomy corp inspiration here as well.

I dont know that we haven't seen all the buildings. The stuff in the containment facilities is likely just the electroharvester and bioferrite harvester. Anyway, good coverage. See you for Preview 4: Ghouls

i hope there is some stuff together with the other dlcs. new psycasts, genes, mechs made of the bioferrit.... and ideology stuff, i want a crazy cult

Adam's first thought about the deadlife dust is to aid kill boxes... My first thought is what if the enemy spawns with one?

I really hope Rim Atomics takes advantage of the tabbed research screen.

can't wait to buy a billion copies of Anomaly myself just to fund Tynan's crippling yacht addiction

I really hope the serums are at least semi-permanent

leaving this comment for the Archotech algorithm gods, praise be to the algorithm !

wow cool video i love the content this is my genuine speech and not just to game the algo

Maybe the new mask means new styles for ideologies?

First they add unwavering prisoners, now they want to sell us the solution? I guess Tynan needed another million. You know what? Summer's coming up, he needs a big yacht. He's gonna sell like a billion copies.

They seriously need to buff the reward for keeping your colonists happy because you are right, nobody cares for inspirations.

Do we know what time Rimworld DLCs typically drop? (GMT) I need to figure out if I'm taking 1 day off work or 2... :D

Self resurrect on vampire😂

Adam, imagine if the enemies can be Death Refusers. Someone about to haul, butcher or incinerate a 'dead' enemy? SURPRISE!! You've just been punked, I hope your colonist can fend for himself.

Ph. D. in war crimes 🤣🤣🤣

It's wild how hard he works to pretend he's not a dev ❤

Does anyone know what the future of console rimworld looks like or where I could find out? Always hoping to see it catch up to pc some day.

does anyone know how much it cost it seems like a pretty big dlc but im not sure tho

feels like revenants will be more annoying once the dlc runs out of its juice

I mean, there’s IED versions of all the mortar shells right? So the raiders can set the shamblers off on themselves I would think.

Tynan needs another few million. Making games is expensive!

I have to say I am disappointed that it all seams to be "new enemies" stuff - I like horror and threat verity, I pretty much always play with a bunch of Lovecraftian themed mods... Sanity managment could have been fun... But this just being "more trouble for you" thing is just... I'm just not feeling very excited about the perspective of playing with this. I will love watching it for sure, but as player?.. I always end up not even bothering with mechanitors - the whole toxic waste thing is to much of a hassle for me, I'm used to handling my base with people and pets anyways, mechs just don't do anything special enough to warrant the whole song and dance. So I just can't see myself doing the whole dark research thing for what? I can avoid breakdowns by NOT putting my people near monstrosities and growing some nice food instead... Res serums are available... De aging stuff may be attractive in some cases - you are correct good pawns are often old but aside from that I just can't seam to muster the enthusiasm for dealing with all of that and getting nothing out of it... This seams a lot of pain for no reward...

Reminder that starting from 1.5 patch lances won't bypass death on downed anymore

Appropriate

So much inspiration taken from Undead warcraft 3 too.

Can’t wait. Best part about single player games is I don’t have to share servers with braindead haters.

I wonder how the androids from Ve would react to this stuff

They climb out your butt

oMg I hAvE tO bUy An0mAly To Be AbLe To ReCrUiT uNwAvErIng?!!? ReEeEeEeEe /sarcasm Im gonna buy the absolute shit out of that DLC :P TAKE MY MONEY! NOW!

A few of those new rituals seems like they borrowed from Vanilla Psycasts Expanded.

People saying "OH it's Amogus, or SCP" ... meanwhile old school people can just point to Space Station 13 for most of this gameplay

Tbh, the more I see of this DLC, the more it seems like a "wishlist and wait for sale". Given the increased price and amount of content, it doesn't seem like it has as much variety or potential for creating unique colonies and narratives as the other DLCs; rather it seems like it is primarily focused on increasing difficulty and making large colonies struggle. Most of what the previews have shown is a lot of difficult and/or annoying versions of infestations, sieges, diseases, and other negative events that specifically can't be solved with a killbox. Really, it kinda feels like a follow-up to Royalty with the added weapons, enemies, and psychic stuff, but more specifically oriented towards late-game colonies since all the player-usable content seems gated behind advanced research, which itself is gated behind capturing monsters. Hell, even Royalty added content for tribals and ways to engage with the DLC without just fighting the empire and mechs. I was hoping Ludeon would expand on the early game, especially tribal and medieval colonies, but this DLC does the opposite-- it gives you a dozen reasons to speed through the early game asap. Also, I know it's dumb, but the idea of aliens, magic, and zombies being included in vanilla/canon Rimworld kinda rubs me the wrong way. P.S. pay2win DLC brainwipe. lol

There is nothing for me up to now in this dlc. Will still buy it, but till now I am not excited at all.

Community mods is one thing, but eldritch stuff officially in Rimworld? Seems so out of place. It's like a totally different genre. We'll see I guess...

This doesn't seem very interesting from what they've shown. Seems like one themed play through then you turn it all off

Adam, please stop highlighting the text. I know its a habit but it makes the white text a lot harder to read my guy. I hope that this might help in the future.

Huge footprint of Vanilla Psycast Expanded I see here
