No Pawn Left Behind

I'd love to see another No Pawn Left Behind run get its own video.

Idea: make a flat map, with no rocks or ores or anything, but ramp up the asteroid spawn rate and get your resources through them Edit for some clarification I just thought about: What I meant by flat map is by removing anything that’s mineable. Trees, berries, and maybe structures if you want, are unaffected. I mean, you could remove them if you really wanted to for that extra spike of masochism.

You putting that "shelf" together actually terrified me. Warcrimes are one thing, but i draw the arbitrary line at poor power tool safety!

Other ideas: - Drunken raiders that want to party and drive fast vehicles -Mutant colony, that only uses mutations / claws / whatever to fight - Maybe a colony that relys on slaves for fighting? - Or a mafia gang that runs a casino.

Somehow you look exactly how i thought you would. Congratulations, you're the first person who looks like their voice sounds i've ever encountered.

Better alternative to the weird, boring, breeding colony idea: Maximise genetic chaos, by any means available, start with 3-5 colonists of distinct genotypes, see how scrambled you can make their genes and/or their clones'/offsprings' genes within a set timeframe whether by gene editing, gene siphons, splicing, whatever is available within your preferred mod set. Maybe have a big hazard or crisis set to occur at the end of the time period and see if your genetic circus can survive and overcome it.

I'm disappointed that the sapling baby run ended with the dryad accidentally committing infanticide. If only there was a way to do a _proper_ sapling baby run...

Hey folks, here's something a bit different, should I make another? If so, give me ideas. In any case, this was fun to make so I hope you enjoy it.

Suggestion 4, the breeder cult. That had me in stiches for a while. Chad brought his MOM. He's no chad. . . he's a Mama's Boy *points and laughs*

If the 'shelf' stands for 100 days then we can safely assume that Hazzor succeeded in one of the challenges.

Idea: Make the most morally upstanding colony you possibly can, only accept goodwill quest rewards. I'm genuinely curious how much harder rimworld is when you can't act like a psychopath.

I have never seen your face. It is about what I expected. Perfection.

Idea: Make a raider colony with an ideology that needs to raid consistently to sustain the colony. Sort of like the Night Lords from 40K

Do a mega pain playthrough where you start out with a bunch of colonists with only one set of working appendages. One guy has only arms, one guy has only legs, etc etc. United they form one functional colonist.

Hazzor building a shelf but then "suddenly gun" was not something i was expecting but it was funny

You've got an incredibly based shelf.

You have just received a trade request from the Republic of Texas for as many shelves as you can make. We're not picky we just want as many as you can make.

21:36 bro hit almost all headshots on the guy dying on the floor. He knew what he was doing.

11:22 - I like how you've decided to put the grave of the mother inside the school-barracks that her kid will inevitably learn at and live in. Staring at a grave of hid mother who died to birth him, day in and day out, is surely not gonna fuck the kid up, lol.

Idea: Make a char who uses only guns and can only make money by selling weapons and components. Also tanks, because tanks are cool.

You look both exactly like you sound and not like it at all. International man of mystery, right here. Love the vid, as per usual, and keep up the great work.

Beer only. For sustenance, weaponry, trade goods... There is only beer.

Here’s an idea based on a run I’m currently doing. Select an island and try to get to space from that, starting as either crash landed survivors, a clan, or a tribe. I’ve done tropical but others might work as well. You can recruit whoever you deem fit, but with an island not only is your space limited, as are most of your resources, you can’t actually leave the island for quest locations and the like until you research drop pods. People can still raid you and caravans can still show up, but you can’t send either until you have the right tech.

I love your content Hazzor! Because of your wonderful quality I got convinced to buy Rimworld and expierience my own crazy stuff

Theres a mod called "spread the word" that allows you to free ideologically converted pawns and convert factions to your ideology. Maybe try a run where you convert as many of the factions to your ideology? Would make it an interesting balance of recruiting who you want but having to let some go so your goal can be achieved.

The "No Pawn Left Behind" idea is just the start of my average Kenshi Playthrough, everyone joins. Random slave? Welcome to freedom, friend! Now work for me. A holy nation soldier i found almost dead? Prepare for reeducation, do not resists. God do i love the "Recruit Prisoners" mod

Change the scenario settings when you start a game so that a worksite spawns every day. You're only allowed to use resources you take by force.

Always a high point when a new upload appears!

Ah Logge, The only weapon that can roll down stairs (Both alone or in pairs), is great for a snack, & can fit on your back!

you do know unwaveringly loyal pawns CAN be Enslaved they're not particularly easy to keep but they can be enslaved

I'd like to see a raider colony that never really stays in one place for more than 30 days, progressing to the final goal of defending the landed ship to escape the planet. Ideally with stuff like Rim Cities for more interesting over-world generation.

that breeding colony kinda reminded me of the sliders episode where 99% of men died and are now religated to breeding centers and basicaly turned into sprem banks (yes im old leave me alone)

With vanilla psycasts expanded you can use the tribal psycast tree to summon brambles. Those are logs but less loggier but for a cheaper price per log

A colony where you need to build some kind of structure for every pawn you get. In exchange, they get some buff (or they don't, you're the boss).

a mildly interesting one: only one of your colonists can fight, you are also not allowed turrets, you can make them a sanguophage or a custom xenotype and you are allowed to hand pick their traits, i do recommend Vanilla psycasts expanded to help increase this characters power further, if this character dies you can replace them TLDR: a supersoldier run, but the supersoldier and only the supersoldier can fight

While we're throwing ideas at the wall to see what sticks, what about a frostpunk dystopia to utopia? The end goal being to create a massive greenhouse/indoor park. Bonus points if its a mainly phytokin colony

For a moment, I was certain you were going to screw that wood into your floor.

>Talks about the chad being a cavedweller >expresses shock he brought his mum with him

Tribal Start in the Swamp with Medieval overhaul with the objective of actually getting to the space ship.

Yoooooo, Warhammer! Dude those Troggoths on the top shelf look sick

The Shelf Colony was absolutely bloody marvelous 😂

A whole colony that runs on Luciferium. 4 to 5 colonist at the start with 20 Lucis. You can use whatever start you want. If you want to add the extra challenge, you can try to recruit more colonists and give them lucis as well.

You've got a good eye for fun scenarios. Even though these were "bad" suggestions I think you did well with them and showed the potential they have.

I have a bad idea for you. Androids only, vs zombies. "The old masters fell, and now they rise again." Use vanilla expanded androids in a zombie mod. That way your colonists aren't screwed over with a single bite, but getting new colonists and fixing your current ones is more difficult

you look even better than i thought you would. Thank you Hazzor for making this year more enjoyable

King for a day; each season a new colony leader is selected and gets to live in extreme luxury. For bonus points; the person who is lowest in the leader's social tab has to live in utter squalor, preferably with corpses and rats, for the season. Optionally administer beatings to improve morale.

Idea: Using Biotech, create a colony where most menial tasks (digging, harvesting, defense, etc) are performed by your lab grown mutants. Leniency rule: your starting pawn(s) may perform such actions up until the first mutant is born, so you don't die because nobody planted anything.

You should play no pawns left behind + HAL 5000 improved combat ai mod for rimworld, might be fun to see how you deal with smart raiders.

Another Hazzor banger! Also loving the face reveal 👀

Idea: install the highlanders immortals mod and make an organ harvesting colony based on harvesting organs from this one single immortal. They basically can't die unless they are specifically decapitated. If one immortal decapitates another, the winner grows stronger (allowing them to regrow limbs, organs, ect), you could have a bunch of lesser immortals or one super tough one or whatever.

For some weird (but not that hard) colony ideas: Hospitalers / "Do No Harm" colony. TL;DR before the long post: No violence allowed for pawns. Only autonomous weapons/traps. Be the kindest colony with the greatest medical care for everyone (including prisoners). No slaves. Child eductation, not child labor. Specifics: You'd have to: - Keep all your pawns unarmed (non-violent pawns are preferable). Armour and shield-belts are fine and encouraged; - Have an ideology where Charity is at least at the Important level; - Focus on having the greatest and most advanced hospital possible, and as many medical-trained pawns as possible; - In general, only do surgery if it will be actively helpful, no organ harvesting or human skin industry, and overall be a nice guy colony with genuinely good care for all, including prisoners. - Like in "No Pawn left Behind" you gotta save everyone you can, but you don't have to recruit them - just make sure they're healthy and release them. Buy and free any slave you can. - If you want to raise children, focus on educating them (if you get a choice of medicine skill passion, or a medicine-boosting trait, you gotta choose that) and letting them play, rather than forcing them to work. - If you want to run Vanilla Ideology Expanded mod, then the suggested ideology memes are: Pacifist, Healthcare, and Emancipation; For combat, you CAN use: - traps; - turrets; - Mechanoids (though that would probably turn the playthrough into a somewhat regular mechanitor run, and it might end up boring, so your choice); - Non-violent psycasts are ok (so buffs/debuffs and even stuns are valid, but stuff like berserk or flashstorm aren't). - The only exception is if you get something like a toxifier/defoliator/psychic drop ship that you *have to* attack to activate - you can do that, for sanity's sake; Weapons that are not hand-carried, but are still operated by a pawn (such as mortars, or piles of chemfuel that are manually detonated by a mlotov, or the single-use orbital cannons/lasers) are disallowed, as they require the pawn to do the shooting/burning.

You mean wonderful ideas?

Thats the best shelf making I've seen.

This was such a good video idea, i hope we can suggest another for a next (also that was a great shelf) Basically FO4 Raiders- You cant research, the entire map is permanant toxic fallout, you cannot trade, but you can do quests as well as pick your own xenotype and starter scenario :)

I loved this. Also, idea: instead of a breeding facility, have a sterile bunch that kidnaps exclusively children from the surrounding neighbors and speeds up their growth before genetically sterilizing and inducting them into the kidnapping horde. The more that can be converted, the better the imaginary score. :) Survival is, of course, optional.

What is bow if not log draw out and with a piece of string, firing smaller logs at enemies?

Thanks! @HazzorPlaysGames Line city, you can only build on 1 axis x or y, you can choose the width but you cant excede that width for the rest of the playthrough pawns are allowed to leave the line city, if you want an extra challenge try to keep farms inside the line as well A goal could be connect one edge of the home tile too the other side (yes this is a bribe)

This is the first time I've seen one of your vids, instant sub! As other suggested a long form No Pawn Left Behind would be a fun watch.

Wood + 660 GPU = PP - 19 appearntly ... good to know

Can we get Monica as a semi regular colonist to show up in other videos ...she's hilarious and whenever she's not on screen the other characters should be saying "Where's Monica?"

Your narrating style totally cracks me up. You even make the failures entertaining. Well done! Liked and subscribed!

Corpse Party: Corpses must always be present in all working and living spaces Squirrel King: One man and his army of squirrels Keeping it in the Family: All pawns must be inbred Turrets Syndrome: Your pawns cannot engage in direct combat. Only turrets and possibly mortars allowed.

You actually did it, respect.

This is going to be fun

Here is an idea for a rimworld colony. You crank up that maximum number of colonies as high as you can (possibly using a mod to make it infinite) then use the extra small map size. This way you end up with a cluster of small interdependant colonies and require a large population.

Here's some ideas: "The Carrington Event:" a world locked in a permanent solar flare. A colony of Jedi: melee only, everyone is psychic, and have a code to forswear possessions and to defend the innocent. Also you're permanent enemies of the empire. Jurassic Diner: a Hospitality playthrough where you have to run a successful inn and restaurant on a map overrun with dinosaurs.

I still think a zero waste challenge is a good idea

I knew that voice came with a beard 😂

I have a game going right now where i got up to like 30 megasloths, found out that they are actually great haulers and fighters, you should do a run where you breed an army of animals like bears or sloths or elephants and see if you can use them for all of your combat.

"Locked into the Bonk Zone." My new favorite line.

HAZZOR FACE REVEAL?? Unless I'm being stupid and you stream on twitch

Two ideas: Leper Colony: Every pawn must be missing one limb and one eye - if Leprosy isn't something you can actually give them, it's been awhile since I played Rimworld. Every new pawn must also have one eye and a limb removed. "Scavengers" You get nothing, you can create nothing. Everything must be looted from the surrounding area, given to you by Randy, or taken off a dead raider.

the amount of work in that video. Bravo Hazzor, love it

I’ll make this suggestion simple Robot empire-start with an android, if there is a job that can be by the android then make them do it, make more androids until ethier death by raid or something else.

The Yes-Men: Accept every quest and do your best to carry it out immediately. The endgame quests are the exception.

I'd love a closer look at that back shelf of Warhammer 😍 I paint a lot of Skaven but once im done with my backlog I'm looking for something fresh. That shelf looks inspiring :P

Fun ideas/games that I have had (some dev mode to make/setup) and would like to share are: - A costal defense, with a few turrets and mortars to start against Winston Waves. I adjusted the map so enemies could only enter through shallow ocean tiles, with cliff blocking off the land approaches. This was inspired by the Costal Battery from Fortifications Citadel mod. (Considered doing this with a cloning only theme too some day) - Another one was to use the Highmate mod from Vanilla Expanded to make a 'harem' type cult, it was a more interesting experiment than one might think actually. - SkyMind Network play where the 'real' people never leave and only use surrogates to talk to the outside world.

Convoy: Using the vehicles and set up camp mods, you play as a nomadic convoy, living off whatever items you can carry in your vehicles. Limit of 3-5 days per camp. You constantly have to balance resources, while constantly expanding your convoy with new vehicles etc

I'd love to see you do the start from Rim of Madness where one of your pawns is a secret werewolf. Bonus points if you keep the full moon madness on past their reveal.

Idea with mod: Run Vanilla Factions Expanded - Tribals and go from cavemen to spaceship. Idea without Mod: Start on a tiny but very populated world and, playing as a barbarian horde, wipe out everybody else. Love your videos, looking forward to more.

So I just discovered channel and I just wanted to say, I love your voice. It really helps to tell the story

I tried this one scenario that I called "The dark world" where you have two pawns, both blind. They must survive in a world infested with insects, mechs, and other colonies, the Rimworld. It is VERY hard to get things going at first. There are ways around it and each time you try it can change up depending on what the story dictates.

One idea, not sure how feasible it would be Everyone in the colony must start addicted to a drug. Each season they must also ramp up the amount of drug they take (or perhaps instead get addicted to another on)

THE HORDE: Conquer enemy outposts/settlements and staying at each for a maximum of X days (10?) before targeting the next one. Must always abandon the previous location

Idea - no pawn left behind alternative where you have to recruit every pawn you can but are limited to 5 pawns max, having to banish the oldest pawns and replace them with new ones. Bonus - Have to use non-lethal means to take down pawns and if they are un-recruitable you have to patch them up and send them on their way.

I didn’t know what I expected you to look like but for some reason I love it

I usually like more of a relaxing experience, and I have gotten into a mood in which I'm sick of all the fighting in video games, so I tend to play RimWorld in a peaceful mode, with raids turned off. However, I still like to have some challenges. I have come close to following that last idea - accept any potential colonist who comes along regardless of how troublesome they may be. It can result in a rapidly growing colony, though without captured raiders, it doesn't grow quite as fast. Food, space, and interpersonal strife can be troublesome at times, and pyromaniacs can be counted on to spice things up, but it helps to have a lot of workers. Another good peaceful mode challenge is difficult environments. Without meat that can be obtained from raiders via cannibalism, the ice sheet is nearly impossible in the early game, and I don't think sea ice is possible at all without a custom scenario in which the colonists start with a lot of extra supplies. I've attempted the ice sheet a few times, with a success rate of about 20%. A little good luck can barely get the colonists through the early game, and once they get hydroponics going, it is easy from that point. I wonder what other sorts of peaceful mode challenges are feasible, especially with mods. Typically, these games get very easy once the colony is firmly established unless there is a major environmental catastrophe, and it simply becomes a sort of creative mode for building. The "accept every potential colonist" rule helps to spice things up in the later game, so I usually at least partially follow this. I think in my next game, I'll follow it to the extreme and see what happens. I suppose my idea would be to find some combination of challenges for the peaceful mode that will make the colonists just as miserable as in a colony that is constantly beset by raiders. Some combination of bad environment, accepting all potential colonists, and crazy genetics or difficult ideologies could do the trick.

"Abort, ABORT! ITS HIS MOM!" That killed me, I legit was not expecting anything of the sort. xD

Hazzor thanks for the fun videos with excellent narration and imaginative theme ideas! My suggestion is an animal cult where you pick an animal, obtain as many as you can, provide for, breed, and worship them. For an easier run make it an animal that's useful (such as a bear that can help defend the colony 'Ursine Cult') or for a harder/funnier run make it a practically useless animal (such as a guinea pig 'Cavy Cult'). I would suggest the guinea pig, but you should choose.

A real Rimworld challenge is not having kill boxes and just letting your enemy rush across an open field to you.

single pawn naked brutality start. nomadic, no settling allowed at all. the goal is to raid nearby settlements, recruiting anyone you can rescue and looting whatever you can. you are allowed to stay in the settlement after conquering it and make use of existing facilities until made to move (or set yourself an arbitrary limit, whichever you decide is better) the goal is to reach X colonists (50?) or to destroy the biggest baddest settlement on the map i myself have actually done 2 playthroughs like this and its quite fun, the biggest tip i could give is to scavenge as many mortars, turrets and batteries as possible early on, tame some pack animals on the first few maps to bring with you too. the final raid will take some strategy and quite a bit of time to get through but well worth an attempt and not as difficult as one might think!

You actually could do the "start with only the sapling child" start! The dryad race creates food while in sunlight, so so long as the dryads don't rescue her, and she continues to sit outside on the ground, she will generate her own food and survive. So long as the temperature does not kill her.

The lemming's sheriff/mayor Play with free will mods where priorities are automatically handled any you can't directly control them except the lone shot caller of the town. Idk what to do with raids but maybe setting them up into auto fight mode.

Perchance one suggestion for a fine, and perhaps slightly insane, man: Rimworld but multiplayer mod where a bunch of creators each control their one pawn (maybe even design each others for that extra layer of "friendship"). In example: I make your pawn, give it the undergrounder modifier (better to stay indoors n all). Then you make spiffing brit, give him a too smart pawn with the corporate manager trait so he can be the honorable cul- I mean organization leader, etc. Ambiguous amphibian is somewhere to the side managing an underground mushroom farm and definitely not plotting a crazy insect rebellion at all.

As a construction worker the shelf was excruciating to watch.

Nomad is a a great way to play. No settling down- the longest you can stay in one place is however long you'll risk being on a map after a caravan event!

As an expansion to the log only idea, have you thought about improvised weapons only? (some mods may greatly help this), since in the basegame, there are 4 improvised weapons: Wood, Beer, Elephant Tusk, and Thrumbo Horn.

i gotta get a close up of those minis in the back Hazzor- are those skaven I see? 👀👀

The random AoE 2 Soundtrack at 2:50 surprised me, but well appreciated to hear.
