This just inspired me to try an all pyromaniac run 🤔😌

Ribworld gaming

Keep it up

you must get into the habbit of putting your pawns behind trees and rocks, or walls, reduces the chance your pawns get hit

Haven’t watched it just wanted to say love the rim world videos

Best game I always come back to. Learning curve is there, but so worth it. Mods later early help to add QoL and options

having a colonist start with a legendary plasteel longsword in their belongings is NUTS luck the hell

I cant wait until he starts some erhical organic trading

If you play with ideology DLC then there is a counsel by the moral guide that helps if successful to remove the worst mood debuff. There are also mods, one is called snap out of it to get others to try to calm down others. Rimworld can be so brutal even to seasoned players. And yes, steel is flammable, stone is really the best option, and if you are having issues with fire, research firefoam poppers. Especially for the stockpile and freezers. Keep it up, fun to watch your vids

get Combat Extended and combat extended Guns, enjoy the pain

If you manage to complete a playthrough without becoming a cannibal psychopath, then you're better than 90% of all rimworld players

As a veteran its very nostalgic watching new players go through the same blood sweat and tears as i once did 🤣

A+ man

from some reason steel is flammable (the creator is canadian, hates america), there is a mod for this

just so you know steel is still very flammable on walls

4:10 them runescape jams

Your past 3 videos have gotten more views than you have subs. You have QUALITY content when you get big I’d like to have $5

I would genuinely award and reward any (ANY!) politician who can successfully apply their economic ideas, in Rimworld. seriously. one bill on top of another, on hand, fully disclosed, to ANY politician out there, who can seriously apply and defend the objectivity of their ideas, to Rimworld, and survive *ONE MONTH* I would LOVE to see that happen. gamers born 15 years ago, playing simulations of real societies with actual economies, can manage those societies more efficiently than 60-year-olds graduated from the school of economics, trying to apply economics to a society that doesn't follow them. who the FUCK is that possible?

Just got this game on deck a few days ago after hearing about this game for years. I'm completely addicted and way too attached to my characters.

You can always change the game version on steam, then use mods?

Combat Extended is also incompatible with like every other mod known to mankind

Another settlement lost out on the rim. Could have gone worse. Hope you're enjoying the game!

"having two pyromaniacs might be a bad idea"

If you turn off "Automatically expand home zone" in the bottom right of your screen, you can draw the home zone manually, so your pawns don't leave the safety of your walls to clean a random piece of dirt. You can also set up zones to send your colonists to when a raid comes in, or in the case of that Ancient Danger, keep them away from. You should have let the trade caravan deal with the mechanoids, just kept your colonist out of the fight, that way the mechanoids would either have been killed by the trade caravan, or would have been weakened enough to be easy kills. Always have your colonists shoot from behind cover, they will be less likely to be hit, walls are the best, but even trees and chunks give some protection. If you have a melee only pawn with a good melee weapon, have him engage the enemy but keep your pawns close to him (within 5 squares) to prevent friendly fire. Build a killbox, it will funnel attackers into an area that has no protection, while your pawns can safely shoot them from behind walls, there are a few guides on YT that explain how, Francis John has very good guides for almost anything to do with Rimworld, from beds, killboxes, weapons, armour etc. Do not install Combat Extended, it is a very advanced mod, only suitable for experienced players, learn the game first. The weapons in Combat Extended are either hugely overpowered, or weaker versions of the basic weapons. It also does not make the combat in Rimworld better, it merely gives more weapon choices, as if there aren't enough of those already. lol That wall you built around your base should have doors at regular intervals, so your pawns and visitors can have easy access in and out.

What do you mean you lost the colony? Go find it.

I think at some point, (maybe not now since you wouldn't want to lose any first-player joy) you should try Rimworld multiplayer with someone who's a bit more experienced with the game. I only have 200~ hours but I like to call myself a pro because I am great at making horrible decisions and then watching hours of Rimworld content lol. At the end of the day everyone learns differently and tbh, not that bad of a first colony

RimWorld fans flock to fresh suffering.

Also can you put the website you stream on in your description for those who are curios

There is a way to circumvent the commitment mode I won't tell you how but there is a mod called No More Save Scumming that patches that out

if you can put your pawns behind any sort of cover do so it can save their lives

you can make allowed area zones btw so takeo's near death experience could of been prevented

teamates can be friendly fired or cross fired so its best to spread them out and if you put them directly behind trees it counts as cover if they are in a 4 tile radius or something around there they can't be friendly fired by anyone close to them its just the cross fire from a bullet that could of missed could be caught by your other pawns

get that butcher bench out of the same room as your stove it makes the room dirty

This video is nice but your solar panel is slightly roofed. You can check what is roofed and what isn't by clicking the house icon on at the bottom right corner of your screen. The more of your solar panel is roofed, the less power you'll get. That alone made me mad. It put a little frown on my face [ :( ] and gave me a unibrow [ >:( ].

the best way to hunt big game is to draft 1-4 colonists depending on their gear level, and manually slay the beast by controlling your pawns. it's practically no risk if you pull it off right. remember to spread your pawns out, so they need to run less, meaning more time to shoot. it's well worth it for the fine meals, trust me

Ur reaction to Von getting kidnapped is so real 😭 kidnapping is just more fucked up than killing in this game idk why but apparently there is a chance for a ransom quest at some point

This video is so real. I have 500 hours in this game and only within the last few dozen have actually started using enemies to fight each other. Insects went from being terrifying nuisances to still terrifying but occasionally helpful when fighting mech clusters. I had a colony probably triple the size of yours and still regularly struggled with mechs. And to this day, I still haven't touched an Ancient Danger. I'm a coward but this coward is going to keep their colony alive. Looking forward to more Rimworld stuff if you get into the game.

Sir... what is ur channel banner...

pro tip prisoners are a good source of replacement organs

chickens having 900 chickens killed my first one my pc was just giving up cause i couldnt kill them fast enough

if you struggle with vanilla combat extend will KICK your ass

Lmao this was exactly how I lost my first colony. I killed the mechs with some EMP nades and opened the caskets just to get steamrolled by the ancients. Trust me, all you really need a few guys with ARs, flak armor, a person with some EMP grenades and some decent cover and you should be fine.

1:56 everyone’s a vegetarian until late game where you just have warehouses of raider corpses

You can use yayos combat for combat

Not a bad first colony tbh. Honestly, most people tend to lose a colony or two to ancient dangers. Typically something you leave until later on when your colonists have a fair bit of armor and decent weaponry. Here's some more tips, this time game play related: You can set a growing zone and disallow sowing so colonists will automatically harvest ambrosia sprouts, fully grown trees, and berry bushes. It's actually a pretty good alternative to crops super early on, and can help train some lower-skilled pawns in plants before they help with working on the farm. That being said, you also want to be careful with the size of your farms. The difficulty of raids scales based on wealth generation, so the more you have stockpiled, the more people are going to show up to steal your shit. This is less painful when dealing with spacer raiders, and more painful when 500 tribals show up and crash your game. Try to produce just what you need with a slight excess. If you do a spacer start, you don't actually need an amazing cook. Nutri-paste is the most food-efficient meal supply in the game, can't cause food poisoning, and allows you to free up a pawn for other things. The only issues are that it can't operate during a solar flare, and it has a very minor mood debuff. Don't under-estimate melee and cover. It might seem dumb to have pawns that are good at melee in a game with guns, but a melee pawn that's fighting a pawn armed with a firearm causes the shooting pawn to be force-swapped to melee. Additionally, having about 3-ish melee pawns is the easiest way to deal with early raids, since the melee pawn can block a chokepoint or doorway, and pawns behind them can shoot through them so long as they're within 5 tiles of each other. Additionally, melee pawns have access to the coveted blunt damage, which is the hard-counter to mechanoids and other heavily armored opponents. Shield belts also exist later on, which gives melee pawns protection, but can't be used on ranged pawns. The reason combat felt sluggish is because attack speed is partially calculated by combat skill up to a point. So a pawn that's bad at shooting isn't going to shoot as fast or accurately as a pawn that's good at shooting. Raiders will inherently try to take cover, which basically acts as bonus evasion. Trees and chunks provide very low cover, sandbags provide half cover, and full walls provide the most cover, so you want to try and keep your pawns in cover, and your enemies out of cover. Light levels also effects accuracy, both for where the pawn's standing and where they're trying to aim. Also, do drugs. Smokeleaf needs to be set up so it's smoked once every 4 days for a colony mood buff without risking carcinoma and addiction. There's a mod to make smokeleaf more realistic by basically removing addiction and carcinoma chance. Psychite tea can be used more often for mood buffs and a slight work-speed buff, but requires research. It actually pairs rather well with smokeleaf if you primarily want the mood buff, but if you want a smaller mood buff and work bonuses, just skip the smokeleaf for the tea. Don't do flake, it's just a more addictive variant of yayo that's able to be more cheaply made. It's ok in emergencies or for selling. Yayo is cocaine. Making it really good to pop before combat or if you just want pawns to work real fast. Just be careful not to take too much, and it requires neutroamine to produce, which is something you have to buy or find, I'm pretty sure. One of the DLCs might have added a crafting recipe for it. Go juice is all the movement and action bonuses of yayo on steroids, but it has a percent chance to OD your colonists regardless of how much they've taken. Wake UP basically removes a colonist's need to sleep for a while, but again, has a chance to OD a colonist regardless of dosage. All of these drugs can obviously become addictive, but if you have a steady supply then you can just set colonists up to take it regularly, and it'll be fine. The main issue that comes with addiction is resistance, which lowers their effects. Alcohol also exists... I don't really use it. Ambrosia is highly addictive, but you can't produce it. It does provide huge mood-buffs, though. So it's great in emergencies. Luciferium sounds great on paper, but you can't produce it, so it's best to either burn or lock away in a vault and only bust out when you want to sell it. The reason a lot of people recommend combat extended is because it makes things more "realistic" and rebalances a great number of weapons. It gives projectiles physics rather than having their location calculated randomly on hit, adds parry chance to melee weapons, adds ammunition for ranged weapons, and other, minor tweaks for combat. I personally don't use it, almost entirely because I can't be fucked to worry about ammo, but if that doesn't bother you, then I highly recommend it.

The GOAT has returned

My immediate response upon seeing this video was "Oh you poor bastard". So, if you ever make a return to rimworld, here's some suggestions: Firstly, for mods, Quality builder, Allow Tool, Replace Stuff, and Realistic rooms. Everything outside of these three is largely up to personal taste, but they just add so much QoL that I can't go back to playing rimworld without them. Secondly, DLC buy order: Royalty, Biotech, Ideology, and then Anomaly. They're all overpriced and never go on sale, but that's the order they'll affect the game most in. Royalty if you want to do extensive modding. Damn near every decent mod needs royalty. It adds psionics, royal titles, a great number of more quests, and an alternative win condition. Biotech is reccomended to be grabbed instead of royalty if you don't play with many mods yet, since it affects your game more itself. It adds genetics, alternative species, mechs that you can control, boss fights, children, and pollution. Ideology seems like it'd affect your game the most, but you only really interact with it at the beginning or every great once in a while depending on settings. It just adds ideologies and a few tidbits for them. Basically, it allows you to adjust the things your pawns like, dislike, and actively engage in without having to micromanage each individual pawn. I mostly list it third because royalty and biotech will do the most to improve the base experience, where as ideology gives you alternative experiences. And then there's anomaly. Basically rimworld lobotomy corporation. More or less just adds a challenge mode with some fun bits to play around with. I don't reccomend it higher because it's the newest, so it's going to affect your mod experience the least. It also changes the game the least, since you have to actively interact with it in order to see everything it offers. Where as the others can change your game completely and are more active with messing with you.

As nearly as I can tell, Phoebe and Cassandra are the same, except for the frequency of events. Phoebe has fewer events. This can result in some surprises, though, because your colony wealth is likely to increase more between each event, and colony wealth determines (for all the storytellers, including Randy) how difficult certain events are. With that observation in mind, an important aspect of colony management is to avoid accumulating wealth that doesn't contribute productively to the colony. A warehouse full of drugs, as an example, will make raids more difficult, but it's unlikely to be useful in countering those raids when they show up at your doorstep. Your colony doesn't appear to have this problem, but as you become more experienced with RimWorld gameplay, you'll inevitably have choices to make along those lines.

Great video! If you want more intense combat, which adds to the weight of all my pawns, try Combat Extended.
