Күн бұрын

RimWorld Defense / Killbox Guide & Tutorial - The Shotgun Tunnel Killbox (or sometimes called 'The Meatgrinder') is a versatile, easy to make, compact defensive position that can take out most threats in the game if used correctly. And it doesn't use any actual exploits (unless you call having raiders have collision an 'exploit')
I will be releasing a bunch more defense guides that highlight tons of different defensive options - lots of killboxes, strategies, and more!

You can also build a door in the spot the shooters stand on. While drafted, place them in the open door. This gives the pawns a bit more time when getting away since the door closes much sooner or might even capture a attacker between two doors. Also did they change the mechanic, that if you stand in the square behind a melee colonist, the colonist in the back cannot hit the melee-colonist in front of him? Otherwise you can add two additional pawns just behind the blockers.

I actually really like this killbox in particular, has a quick setup for most bases, and even at low investment its a great way to hold of *some* raiders especially since I also started taking off after your playstyle without killboxes using outer base walls, I have a small setup like this near the main rooms to bait raiders into if they break the outer wall, or drop pod raiders (that didnt fall past this room) and such things

@decadunce9205 Ай бұрын

Now that singularity is dead, i would raelly like a video/guide on what you consider the BEST killbox is for 1.5, I doubt it's a burnbox as it doesn't work on a lot of raids

@Mike__B Ай бұрын

Not a big fan of kill boxes personally, I mean if I go for a mountain base then sure of course, but for open towns outside I feel like it takes away from the game unless I"m doing some "castle town" approach, especially when exploits are used that confuse the AI pathing, e.g. having a door for your pawns to walk through no problem meanwhile the raiders take the long windy path through traps to your base, sappers/tunnelers do help bring us back to sanity levels though so that's awesome. But as said you be you as far as having fun with the game, that's all that matters at the end of the day.

What is the best thing to build inside the tunnels? I see you mention fences/barricades etc at the entrance, but what about the end part that your pawns shoot into?

@re6nhah Ай бұрын

Great video as always. How does the peeking work for friendly fire prevention exactly? I was wondering if replacing the 2 melee with 2 more shooters and putting enough auto and slug turrets in the back would allow to have enough firepower to kill everything before it manages to get through. But it's not clear whether it would work due to the turrets being 2x2 and whether it would be friendly fire safe.

@AdamVsEverything Ай бұрын

Honestly it is really weird. For some reason peeking seems to get rid of most friendly fire but only to this length. If you've checked out my friendly fire guide you'll notice that the real friendly fire cutoff is way smaller. Because of the 'fuzziness' with the FF mechanics in this setup, I'd just caution to test with turrets in dev mode or a spare save file first before trying to implement it in a real run. Also, cross your fingers they never take enough damage to explode lol.

@Sadicious Ай бұрын

Is there any way to have a uranium slug turret or two in the far back of the meatgrinder, that aligns their sweetspot with the barricades? Might be the only effective use of these turrets.

@booleanillogical4757 Ай бұрын

Would it not be possible to put one uraium slug or auto cannon turret at far side of the tunnel from the raiders, where you normal have walls? I know it would make it much stro ger but it wouldnt make it worse right?

I don't know why but I always have around 5-6 pawns in my colony and only half of them are good fighters so I would love to know a killbox which doesn't need a lot of pawns. I was thinking about turrets but they aren't really that great and traps take a lot of time rebuilding and are pretty costly

@TheRobertMoxley Ай бұрын

Yo! What are the best weapons for this kill box? I’ve seen you often use ARs with this setup, are they better than Chain Shotgun?

@AdamVsEverything Ай бұрын

It's in the video, but basically this (if all other things are equal and only using this KB) Chain Shotgun > Charge Rifle > SMG > Other But it depends a lot on quality, shooting skill, etc. If only using this setup and wanting to maximize damage output then chain shotguns are the 'best'. As you saw, though, it can work fine with AR's and such.

Does collision cause lag? I've noticed on my endgame colony that while using this strategy is very effective, my game tends to slow down before my pawns engage. The game will go under 10 frames a second as raiders slowly make their way past the fences.

I love how low cost it is to setup and how versatile it is, but merely observing the setup in a run made me do mistakes (blocking with 3 pawns, powered turret somewhere behind, not having 5 tiles for the enemy...).

Is there even a good Turret Killbox out there? IAnd i dont mean a killbox were you have to rebuild all your turrets again after every raid. I find it a bit said that turrets are practically worthless in 90% of defence unless you use overpowered modded turrets.

@AdamVsEverything Ай бұрын

Unfortunately, turrets have been nerfed like 10 times over the years. Unmodded turrets are just not great (plus they have collision-reversing bug issues). They can work on lower difficulties or as supplements, but can't be used in any sort of semi-auto defense without modding them.

@Alister222222 Ай бұрын

Tried this killbox against a few mech raids, and it definitely didn't work :( I copied the setup down to the last block, and had two melee blockers at the front; I had only one turret in my entire base, which was unpowered and near where the enemies entered the setup. But every single time, the enemies would just breeze past the melee blockers, and no they weren't on fire. I think I'll be sticking with my more traditional killbox.

@AdamVsEverything Ай бұрын

You can post yours in my Discord if you want us to look at what is up. This works fine for me still, though. You can always try putting one melee blocker into the center until you have more fire power as well.

@Alister222222 Ай бұрын

@@AdamVsEverything Thanks for that, thought I think I have figured out the problem. The one thing I thought might fix it was that my 'melee blockers' were wielding ranged weapons - it usually works when I'm melee blocking a door, but they seem to have issues when I try and diagonally melee block using a ranged weapon. I've nearly always had my meleers carry guns because most of the time you don't need them to be melee, and they seemed to work just fine blocking a choke point. In this setup though it started working as advertised when I switched to melee weapons.

@JoshTheMadLad Ай бұрын

I feel like 1.5 nerfed ranged or something. Even with level 20 shooters on go juice with full bionics and legendary chain shotguns using this setup, the shots hits the walls and barricades so often even though the player accuracy is supposedly 100%. I don't get it.

@wolframlessau8724 Ай бұрын

Why cant you make more than 5 rows of pawns? Couldn't you make like 15 if you give the ones further behind sniper rifles? And could you make the walkway for the enemies from left to right a little wider? Just so you have more time to shoot them?

@AdamVsEverything Ай бұрын

The next row causes friendly fire in this setup. So you can do it, but you will be sniping some of your other pawns in the back of the head. DO you mean longer instead of wider? Yuu can make it longer, but if a barricade breaks they may attack from there and outrange you. I don't see any reason to make the entrance wider - that would give even more spots that barricades could break (they are lower HP than walls in general).
