RimWorld Defense / Killbox Guide & Tutorial - The Singularity Killbox is an insane, easy to make, compact defensive position that can take out hundreds of centipedes without a scratch. And it doesn't even use 'corner punch' exploits.
I will be releasing a bunch more defense guides that highlight tons of different defensive options - lots of killboxes, strategies, and more!

EDIT FOR 1.5 - The Singularity is DEAD - The devs have specifically patched the singularity for patch 1.5 and Anomaly. I will leave the guide up for posterity, or those that want to revert to an old version and use this. 1.4 BIOTECH UPDATE: STILL WORKING! in every direction but South. (Proof: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gs2fhpSnur2RfXU.html ) East/West still best. If it isn't working for you then you are doing something wrong. There are dozens of small things you can do wrong. Come post a screenshot of your not working one on my Discord (most common issue is not using my pathing guide information OR not having all doors actually opened (both set to hold open and manually opened ahead of time with a drafted pawn of yours) also, don't build the barricades/etc at the end out of flammable material such as wood if you can help it, lol)). - Discord: discord.gg/CaSDVp3 And no, it doesn't work with combat extended or other mods that change pathing, combat, line of sight, etc. As mentioned in the video, here are the important links.

@@armitageist Because it makes sense. Rimworld is a game about survival. Survival is about beating your enemies with as little risk as possible. If Tynan added more traditional forms of security like moat building, building on hills/mountains, actual elevated shooting platforms etc etc then killboxes wouldn't be as necessary but we don't have those options and Tynan literally said he develops his game around the idea that players will use killboxes so not using them is just unnecessarily gimping yourself.

Yep, just ran through a stellarch ending with two of these retrofitted in my old-style killbox, the only real problem I had was the twice daily 240 pawn raids ended up stacking so many corpses around the singularity that I started having to do a lot of door-clearing micro. I'm sort of torn on whether it's useful to have the enemies pop into combat or not - if you pop them far back and they get to re-stack by time they're in firing range, you get a lot of splash damage and grind through the raids faster, but you've got to be able to keep up the DPS or you'll have to reset when they overwhelm your defenders and get into the red zone.

Didn't know chairs added peeking. Adding more chairs will benefit 'comfort' level for all fighting or standing pawns. I feel this is essential for kill boxes since you'll first send your pawns there to wait for the enemy, and then they'll be engaged for hours at a time. The comfort bonus is totally worth it. In some games, I've even put chairs next to hospital beds and at engagement areas for horse shoe pins. Held open doors cause a serious movement penalty? I wonder how that compares to sand bags.

@AdamVsEverything Жыл бұрын

Sand bags in the middle screws it up for many reason. First, if the entire center is sandbags enemies aren't slowed at all. Second, if you alternate sandbags the enemies are only slowed until a body or item falls in the gap. Third, it gives the enemies 55% cover. Also, they removed chairs giving a bonus when positioned on them unless they are performing a job or such a long time ago. So your shooters do not gain comfort while shooting from on top of a chair.

I have a problem with it - a very specific one at that. Diabolouses from Biotech DLC - the ones you summons so that you would get their chips - are equipped with Inferno blasters. They are getting into killbox themselves - but if you have not enough firepower and adaptation to EMP will happen early on, then someone will fire a blast. Even a single one destroys killbox, as it's power is enough to blast through any material. It happens only on the largest summoned mech clusters tho and even a single psycaster with stun can delay their shots enough for EMP to proc again. But still.

Adam, if you look at the build you start at ~1:30, you place the inlay wall at a different location than all the ones in your videos. It has to move to the right one square. Thanks!

@AdamVsEverything Жыл бұрын

It works in either spot, it only matters where you want your stuns to happen. There are advantages and disadvantages at stunning at different points. For instance, if your AOE is stunning them back at the entrance they can get adapted before getting into the rest of the tunnel. So I change it depending on playthrough or need etc.

This killbox is really nice for almost 99% of the enemies. I put a burn-killbox in front of the singularity kb to kill or incapitate all human and animal attackers before they even reach the singularity KB. I only have issues when my allies join the fight. They mess up the whole killbox due to close combat fights. A few mechs with AoE attacks will destroy the killbox while fighing the NPC allies. That really sucks.

@visoth7791 Жыл бұрын

Hey Adam, maybe you or anyone reading this could give me some advice. The problem I am facing with a killbox of this style, is that when Allies show up to help me against a pirate raid, the allies seem to be going through the killbox themselves to reach the aggressors. This complicates things. Usually more bodies to throw at the enemy is great, but with a very specific killbox like this, it leads to chaos which often results in something going wrong. Such as a doomsday being launched at a melee ally, or the allies reaching the enemy before they start pathing into the killbox. Or somehow the collision turrets getting destroyed mid-fight (where a fight shouldn't be occurring). Basically, how do I keep allies from running through this killbox to attack the enemy? Blocking it would also block the enemy, and I have tried installing doors nearby, but that gives an alternate route for the enemy to break in. Maybe the simplest solution is to just not have allies? But they are useful for trading...

Amazing guide, I am going to try this one right now! What do you recommend as pathing bait though? I was considering putting a powered turret in the gap between the right barricade of the hallway and the left door of shooting zone. But that would ruin the "reset" mechanic.

@AdamVsEverything Жыл бұрын

I usually just have an uninterupted path to a colonist or animal. Often times I will have a zoneable animal that just lives behind the opened killbox. Just be sure to give them food. If you haven't seen my guide on pathing yet, it might help more: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m7p6mZNe1dvXqIU.html

Nice guide, just a question, is the placement of the wall for the EMP is an error on the guide or we can place it at different place , in the how to part 2:52 you place it one barricade form the end and else where the is 2 barricade from the end 4:07

@AdamVsEverything Жыл бұрын

I should have mentioned, but you can make the inlay anywhere you want. I usually do either 1 or 2, but basicaly wherever you want to stun the enemy/break the lowshields at. In practice, I find 1 away to be better with lowshields as it seems to break them further down (though having multiple throwers solves it anyway), and 2 down makes it better to stun centipedes in the sweet dps spot. You can experiment and see which one you like best but both work.

Amazing killbox with one small flaw. When you get enough firepower everything that comes in will be obliterated, so nobody will stay alive to take as prisoner and recruit. So you need to find other means of recruiting. Personally I set 6 rituals in ideology with reward of a random guy joining my tribe, and if he sucks I just banish him.
