Oh, Biotech's turn. Let's give it a quick watch. *looks at video length* Oh.

This dlc adds 3 Geneva convension violation, 2 human rights violation and robots enslavement.

I love this series you've done.. Breakdowns of rimworld were nowhere to be found when I started, hope some new players find these helpful, I would of.

I picked up Royalty a few weeks back based off that video, been really enjoying it. And I'm a base game player for years, was always holding out for a real discount.

Honestly I can’t wait until someone makes a framework for adding new gene categories beyond Germline and Xeno genes. Imagine having types of genes that only affect children or adults, males or females, or allows you to swap between sets of active genes like in VE:lycanthrops. One idea I had is a gene archive category, where genes held here have no effect on the pawn, but can be accessed by certain abilities, like an arcowomb, that allows pregnant pawns to chose the genes of their children.

Should also point out that a mother's mood swings can make the expectant mother VERY homicidal.

Golden rundown for a golden dlc 😎👍✨ Almost all of my most fun colonies have had some sort of genetic and/or mechanitor component.

This is why Biotech Trailer, The DLC itself and the 3 areas it added makes it my first and favourite DLC. The main reason I chased down the other two was actually because of the VE mod that gave the Gaurenlenkon and Anima girls xenotypes. Phytokins tho always sleeping are pretty fun to have around, but yeah it added everything I love about Rimworld and futuristic stuff in general and a very relatable start. Solo robot God. But commanding robots adding kids to stories having control over colonist customization of genetics or seeing fire breathing tribal take me out early game is super sick. I will say though that I'm probably the only Rimworld player that likes kids, Rimworld took a page out of Sims 4 child management and instead splitting the features into 10 DLCs you get it in one, but basically, ignoring a child is ALWAYS a bad idea fr, both in Rimworld and Sims, because players who focus on kids like myself end up with unfairly God level adults. I had a run with 4 kids, I stole 3 from some beggars and my colonist had one Danielle because the colonys best shooter by age 13 Thomas a Highmate was running level 20 Warden and Trading by 9 lmao. I dunno if this is viable but couldn't using age reversal give them more time to become demons...

Liking and commenting for the algo now, looking forward to watching this movie length rundown tonight!

I got time at work, you got a video out. Oh yeah, it's all coming together.

By far best DLC. Even if I don't want to use one part of it in a playthrough, I will use some other.

Never subbed to someone so quickly love the rundowns man

Me with 400 hours in Biotech: Yeah ill watch this Legitimately didn't know animal warcall let's you murder the tranced animal like that, you learn something new every day

I like the way DLCs break the lore in small and important bits. In the Lore of Rimworld, faster than light space travel doesn't exist, which means there is no greater human empire. If a planet has a war or other doomsday, it can be a 100 years until the next planet even finds out, let alone send help. Mechanoids are different to Robots because they are endlessly self-powerd. They do not need to rest or recharge. And don't even get me started on dark archotechs in the void, when archotechs are either good or evil and simple care little for humans.

32:55 got me, well done

Ending the dlcs with the biggest I see.

already been using biotech since launch but I love your content so much

Tox gas IEDs are an awesome tool I place them along lines off egress I see raders make over time and just outside/just inside my killzone so by time the enemy even gets to me they are at worst slightly sick and at best on death's door.

One thing to mention about leap is as the pawn ceases to exist temporarily enemies aiming say, a multirocket or doomsday will drop aim forcefully resetting them to the beginning with their hugely long aim time. It along with jump packs are incredibly skill expressive, and absolutetly busted as they allow you to control who hold agro and potentially prevent enemies from firing slower weapons entirely. Great for luring shamblers around too as you lead them out of the way, leap, oh look no pawn to follow and they just sit where you want them forgetting they were ever chasing anyone at all.

i always forget that pollution isn't a base game mechanic, it just makes that much sense.

One thing about drug dependancies that you might've missed(or maybe I wasn't paying attention, let me know!): for some drugs like psychite, it doesn't stop a pawn's tolerance to it. So your crackheads can still have tolerance build up to MASSIVE. The tolerance gene prevents this however.

*Happy Mechanator noises*

Lucyferium expanded next?

Great video!

Would've been cool if you had any footage of a mechanitor complex to show.

One thing about children inheriting the genes. It is... unfortunately a bit botched (pun intended) at the moment if you are running a custom xenotype. Allow me to explain: "Genes shared by both parents will always be shared" - that is true only for built-in xenotypes - so, the default germline xenotypes from the expansion (that is everything except sanguophages, hussars and genies) and germline modded. Basically - if two dirtmoles have a baby - kiddo will be a dirtmole. If, say, a dirtmole and a pigskin have a baby, it will be a weird hybrid, taking half and half from both parents at random - pregnancy may also fail if inherited genes give an embryo to low metabolism rating. The problems start with custom xenotypes. Let's say you create your own custom germline xenotype. And you have two pawns of the same xenotype that breed. Kiddo should be of the same xenotype, right? NOPE. The game basically treats both parents as separate xenotypes, even if they are the same and randomly distributes the genes. This means that if pregnancy even works (because the metabolism may stop it), you will get watered down line. Basically, if you plan on having a functional and breeding colony of your own custom xenotype, you have to use mods that add dominant genes, a 'consistent gene inheritance' mod and probalby a gene implanter (either vanilla archite one, or modded from alpha genes that allows implanting germline genes) - just to be sure. A character editor on standby will not hurt either.

Please do edge of descention stuncasters... it's short and simple but when used with other psycasts becomes op

When I did my one successful Rimworld series on my channel, I had one child be born stillborn. It was... not a happy episode. Then it wouldn't let me entomb the child in a sarcophagus, I had to bury it in a dirt grave. This game is weird.

I've had this dlc since it came out and ngl, I've barely seen everything from it

Yay thank you!

Biotech is the best expansion so far.

Im a pretty big fan of the Mechanitor though farming chips is rather boring. I can't remember if you have done any of the Mechanitor add on mods if not I would humbly request a comprehensive overview as you tend to do 👍🏼

FINALLLLLY LETS FUCKING GOOO

1:35:47 aaa u forgot to tell that the tunnelers also have smoke pop ability and shield belt😅

I was wondering when you'd get around to this one.

omg dat brown sound 😂. Please don't stop

lemme get some ice cream to watch this with

Sgo

One hour 30 min is not a quick look lol

The discussion of biotech mechanics with very obviously anomaly-specific b-roll (shambler raid defense, fleshmass distress beacon) is kinda jarring in a way im not certain i like or dislike

First 😎

I know what mod this needs, It's called women rights mod, so you can abort child labor. And no, this is not a joke. I would love that option.
