I would love for someone to play really, really, old versions of Rimworld. Like back when the fear mechanic was still in the game. People think it's hardcore now, but they know nothing :P IIRC they're available on the Ludeon studios website.
@@Jcewazhere Are they really? I haven't seen those in years. I still wish Tynan had done more with the fear system and vanilla game door locks that were around way back in the early alphas.
- Just bought the game before watching this video - Went through the tutorial - tried to attack a pack of buffalos right after i completed the tutorial to get food And that’s how i ended here
If you can call it a colony, I just got the game and started on the hardest difficulty with naked brutality and Robbie Random set to "Losing is fun". Started out with a one-armed cannibal who is a great shot but not great at much else. I got a somewhat sizable base set up in the boreal forest before he starved to death. I could not get him to pick berries for the life of me. He did, however, snap out of a daze once to rush half way across the map and eat a dead raccoon, then go immediately back into a daze.
First colony, now that is a story. It involved slaughtering boomalopes in a wooden barn, meteors hitting my chemfuel next to my barracks while half of my pawns were down with the plague and every pawn trying to do everything and going nowhere. It was mercifully ended by a man-hunting Thrumbo herd, 3 rocket raiders and and infestation all at once. Then I started looking at guides.
Sweet mercyful Randy who did you decide to use as the teller? Well if it's that chaotic it had to be Randy. Oh and my first was basicly blitz's rimworld experince as I did a cannibal colony. It lived. Never saw it die but than I learned about dev mode and my next dozen have cheated till I got into high about of mods. Than I just never finish it. Oh and currently I have only cheated so my colony don't get fucked by stupidity round of events that happen to be rim of horrors mod. (I HAD A FUCKIN STAR SPAWN NEARLY KILL one of my colonests. Oh and they frail things. As avali, but I do have by now a 80or so teifling and a kobold, (who has one the favor of my personal colonist who is my starbound main character I play with, or on eof them any way) so ya coloney is rocket as of now but living in their frozen waste just fine.
Pro tip, if a trading caravan passes, and they have a slave. You can attack the slave (you loose a bit of relationship per hit), to lower their silver cost. The more you beat them the more their price drops.
Colonist: "Hey, how much for this slave?" Trader: "Ah, this one is worth 1150 silver, good sir!" *Colonist pulls out a Uranium mace* _BONG_ Colonist: "How much now?" Trader: "...uhh, I guess 1050, but pleas-" _BONG_ Colonist: "Now?" Trader: "Sir, I have to inform you what you are doing is VERY inappropriate behavio-" _BONG, BONG, BONG_ Trader: "STOP IT, STOP IT, FINE! 550 silver, last offer you savage!!" Colonist: "Deal..." :) *Colonist proceeds to drag the carcass behind their defenses*
In my last colony (it died 1 hour ago) I actually had a strange event which is probably a part of the alpha animals thing. A person joined my ranks randomly, did work though not much, and ate a shit ton. It was kinda strange but I let it pass. Suddenly, right after I had cleared a large infestation, that person suddenly "died". It turned out that it was a insectoid called a Mime that took the form of a colonist to eat my food, though since the game suddenly thought I was out of food for some reason, it dropped the facade and went on the attack. It's kind of a strange event but one to keep in mind.
I hate mimes, pro tip, if u get a fishy new colonist joining and u think something is off (100% of times, this is RM) quarantineimmediately and dont give any food to the new one, if after 2/3 days of starving the dude is still human u can release him, works fine for me (not always, prob 80% of times i can detect the mime using quarantine.
Pro tip, if you arrest a social fighting pawn, you can just draft the one arresting them and it'll immediately end their fight without imprisoning them
Thanks for the tip! I got a disaster very early in the game one of my pawn got his brain mangled in a social fight. Losing 70% manipulation and movement.
Just remember Boomalope explode when they die so if one gets old it can suffer from heart attacks and die then your base is fire along with your other animals
One of my early runs had a toxic fallout on a map with a ton of booma-critters. Like living in a warzone, listening to the explosions all night. And those wooden outer walls may have been a mistake? Oh well. Die in a horrible fiery inferno and learn... Die in a horrible fiery inferno and learn.
My first colony involved building wood houses while my miners dug out a mountain side. When everything was smoothed over and nice I deconstructed the barracks. Collapsing roof got all three of them.
he keeps sending you shit, no matter if it's good or bad. i get hordes of self tamed dogs or chinchillas every now and then. also a horde of mad geese seem to be a common recurring event.
My randy campaign is going really well he’s given me drugs, good psychic soothe effects, and a horde of 35 ducks with some minor raids… all at the price of killing my beloved dog with the plague thank you randy
I highly recommend Phoebe on the lowest difficulty for a 2nd or 3rd playthrough. Its literally a different game. More comparable to stardew. Relax and farm and chill.
a couple of thing we kinda overlooked: - Temperature control is big one. - Hydriponics and the ideal grow temp for food and drugs (specially drugs) - the importance of Art. (cuz i know you're a man of culture) - also teching people about NOT DIGGIN TO DEEP INTO A MOUNTAIN. a.k.a Overhead moutain tiles. - also armor or better yet prostetics.
"NOT DIGGIN TO DEEP INTO A MOUNTAIN" Whoops... My first one was this. Starting with the 3 pawns picked a rocky terrain with a lot of minerals and other stuff but i was forgot about the necessity of food and wood as a needing material for starters. i was well preped from videos at least that was i tought. And off course because i started the game with vanilla expanded give or take a 100+ mods Around 60 hours of sweat and blood & swear to gods and devils, i was fine. No more manhunting packs of predatory animals, no lightning strikes directly hitting pawns, and finnaly: no more mentalbreaks. after 60 hours i had a chance to start my mining operations and carve my empire large business from the mountain. And what my story teller cannot done i made it my self: 3 out of my 5 pawns ended up a pancake under the moutain tiles including my doctors and yes... rest of the two was non capable of violence... and a very next day i got raid again... and that was a moment when i gave up...
My first game, I went with Builder, Phobe Chillax, a diverse set of skilled pawns on a crash landed scenario, 2 tradeable villages nearby, no negative traits on my pawns, and a temperate forest. first 20 minutes, heat wave, my people couldn't go outside to do anything without starting to have heatstroke issues, and eventually anyone who went outside to collect food, was hospitalized with heatstroke, and my people ran out of food. I think my last pawn died at about minute 85. I was thinking. "hmm... That's not a good start"
I just got this game. I underestimated the difficulty. Everyone died except the dog. It took me a few hours to realize the world is not just the map my base is on. This guide seems like it will help alot.
You just condensed a five hour tutorial into 23 minutes without taking a single breath or using any editing software, you Legend. Now what's the fire button and why cant I jump lol. Noobert this game better be worth the NASA level learning curve, Ive just got my head around Kenshi lol.
Pro tip! If you see a wild man and want to recruit them but you have no one with the skills for taming animals all you have to do is beat the crap out of them. Then when there down rescue them. For some odd reason they think highly of you saving them after you brutally beat them that they will either A.) Decide not to join and leave Or B.) Join because you were so Kind on saving there life from the danger that is yourself. Well we don't like answer (A) so we gonna keep beating them and rescuing them until they realize we are good people and eventually they actually will join. Be sure to use a club or wood because apparently your colonist will bite them and cause a infection in there torso and you have to waste medicine saving someone that is going to be making your colony more artistic. My longest attempt was 3 recuse missions, He may be a trauma savant now but damn the base started looking pretty. Side note you cant reduce there resistance if there a prisoner because they are treated like animals. You can however throw them in a cell and wait for the slavers to come by to make some extra profit.
This is hilarious. “The base starting to look pretty” after explaining he beat the man senseless a few times. It’s sick, it’s funny and why Rim World rocks
From what i've seen, trying to explain a simplified version of Rimworld to someone who's never played before is almost impossible since everything in the game affects, causes or is caused by something else within the game leading to small rabbit holes throughout the whole explanation lmao. Great video as usual, btw!
Simple: top down survival base-builder, where you assign a certain number of pawns to complete jobs to allow for survival and base building in a foreign world with many threats from environment to enemies.
Some extra tips: the button to stop the home area to be set by the game is on the right side on the bottom of the screen (looks like an home) there is also another very useful one (looks like an hammer) that makes it so whenever something is destroyed ib the home area a blueprint is put in it's place so that your builder will rebuild it. You can also youse the room stats one to se what is important for a room as some stats are bright white and some grey, the white ones are important, the grey ones not.
@@villainova8941 kind of left feild but ok i mean you proably have so many because you watch so many. and i know just as many aussie youtubers as i do brits just about. hell even a few more out in the world i think even a dude who maybe indian in origan. that indian does medical story vids but he coud have that decent idk.
One tip that I pain-stakingly found out as my crops grew in. Be careful when clicking on your crop plots, because you can select all of them at the same time. I didn't have any animals to help with fabric, and being new to the game thought, "cotton works" Now I have a lot of cotton and am struggling on food. Otherwise, my colonists seem to love chopping down trees, to the point of forgetting to be jailers so I ended up with less mouths to feed as a positive...
I will never forget what happened to my last pyromaniac, he set fire to my chemfuel storage, with a stone door the resulting explosion took out him, the building and my entire chemfuel supply, but I didn’t miss him, he was a pain in the ass, he was a Rival to most of my colony and apart from my supplies literally going up in smoke, it wasn’t a huge deal
I'm certain that, in any survival game, we all remember our 1st & our best/fav runs. I'm still fairly new myself but my 1st run really showed me that going in partially blind was a bad move lol...... A capybara infected 1 of my 3 pawns, but injured 2 total. I wasn't able to heal the infection.......so I also learned how pet bonds are impacted when the owner dies. I lost my ENTIRE colony to a damn Terrier. I wasn't liking the spawn area I chose or the skills of my pawns, so I never bothered reloading an earlier save. To this day, I keep a wary eye on all pets lol
Important raider tip. Always check to make sure the raiders don't have the Raid Aging Disease. If you capture such a raider you will have to execute them, as you will most likely never be able to heal them fast enough to outpace the aging. They do make very good skill dummies for your doctors and wardens though.
I hadn't played in a long time, but recently decided to get back into the game. My first colony there ended due to an unfortunate combination of a cold snap, solar flare, and a plague when I had only the most barebones infrastructure set up. Thanks Randy. Now on to the next attempt!
I just got the game and it’s so overwhelming 😅 I’m new to this category of game and there’s so many mechanics and small details which seems too hard to micromanage.
I can't wait to play this. These types of games are wonderful for me exactly for the reasons they can be overwhelming. Feels like control in a chaotic world I guess.
@@thechemistamvs5033 Now I Know Why. I Learned It the Hard Way, My Base Got Invaded Twice At The Same Time I Killed About 20-30 And I Lost 6 Colonist Trying To Fix The Walls
I've got a tribal start, slowly climbing up the tech tree, my base is starting to become fortified... Gonna sell some drugs for machinepistols and learn electronics after that.
I just started. A mad rat beat up all my guys and then a bunch of ducks moved in. A bunch of people wanted to trade but I couldn't figure it out until 2 hours in. Now we're all starving , slowly going insane, as lighting is coming down from the heavens setting the jungle a blaze and I've only played for like 3 hours. This is fun.
Started two days ago and have been playing at work while I have free time. It's been maybe half a year in the game. 2 of my colonists died. My dog died. A man in black came, immediately got injured, and my lone colonist nursed him back to health. He's been a beast the whole time and the only reason I picked him is because the game named him Fartier. Fartier the Farmer. So now it's just Fartier and Anarchist (the man in black), and a wild woman they imprisoned for stealing food. Except now they feed her and probably waste more now. I've tried to save two people on the edge of my map that crash landed and both died in Fartier's arms as he rushed back to the base. Sad.
Live on the equator, it has a permanent summer and as a result has a year round growing season, useful for getting used to the game or having a more relaxed experience
Perfect timing. I literally started playing last week. Now I can see everything I've done wrong for the next playthrough (maybe with some needed mods though)!
13:50 the perfect shot actually happened to me he got the best stats for shooting a whooping 13 but when I checked his health card it said he was a pacifist and couldn't shoot a gun or hold a weapon but he had 6 in farming so at least he could tend the fields
Punched a thrumbo. Nothing bad happened. Great advice. As for my first colony... Well, I took the new solo mechanitor start. To give you an idea of my experience at the time, I had finished the colony and done nothing else. To make a long story short, my colonist got attacked by a rat. The wound got infected because I didn't know that I had to enable self-tend, then she died from her infection.
I know that this tutorial is pretty old now, but i can give some of my tips. First thing you do after starting the game, is making the schedule, my standard schedule is sleeping from 22 to 5, 3 hours of recreation after they wake up, and after the work, 2 hours of recreation. Always have a guy that only cook, otherwise you'll have huge problem with food. So if we had the setup behind us, we can talk about late game. First thing you want to do after making formalities is selecting some trees to chop, and placing down a campfire, butcher spot and a crafting spot, so your cook could feed your pawns, and crafting spot, if you are chad like me, and spawn wihout nothing. After you've set up some campfire, you should hunt some animals or harvest berries, so your cook could use his new kitchen, dont forget about storage space near your kitchen. After your food supplies will grow, build your first building, and make interior at least 5 blocks wide, so you could build hi-tech research table here after some time, but for now, you should have fun with normal research table. So after you placed your research table, prioritize researching cooling systems, so you could make a freezer, and then the fabrication, so you could make components, cause they are rare as damn if you use them all. After it all, i just do my own buisiness with mods, i build some houses, farms or factories, but late game, peace.
I remember my first play-through and during a raid, My main gunner she got beat down by a lone tribal, then the medic kept vomiting due to food poisoning and the last dude collapsed. Food Poisoning.
Horses make for great pack animals because your colonist actually rides them during the caravan trip, cutting the time down by loads. My current colony has a nearby settlement 0.7 days away, with a horse it’s 0.2
Pro tip Use the nutrient paste dispenser as it uses less food materials than your standard stove meaning you'll be able to free up more colonists to do whatever you want Granted they need power and taste awful but the benefits outweigh the downsides
honestly i tried so hard to play this game quiet a few times, but my first colony that lasted over an hour was a Solo cannibal frozen icesheet that i played side-by-side with a letsplay. Still not 100% sure why, but that really helped me understand the HUD and basics.
If you are getting tired of vanilla Rimworld but don't want to get caught up in modding , I highly recommend: Hardcore SK. It's a mod pack that gets continually worked on and adds a lot of depth to the game while being balanced. Do a tribal start, it's a lot of fun!
Been watching this game for years, finally got it yesterday. First problem: colonist has equal melee/guns, and would get a -20 if i gave them a gun or melee and it always says brawler has no melee weapon/hunter has no gun Problem 2: no traders Problem 3: lost a colonist to a rabbit somehow (monty python moment -.-) Absolutely love playing this game though
15:50 If they decide to not join then you need to use more aggressive forms of persuasion. The medicine and food spent on saving them wasn't cheap and you can always use more colonists.
It’s debateable which my first colony was. There was the first game where one pawn walked into an insect cave and died (less than 2 days in). And I just noped and started a new game. Then the one where I tried to make a mountain base but only managed to get a 6 tile long hallway. The only doctor died of malaria, a wildman got in and ate the survival meals, and the two remaining pawns started starving before the rice could finish growing. Then 2 guys with clubs showed up and beat them to death.
Pro tip don’t raise an army of rats or Guinea Pigs for the meme value. It costs an insurmountable amount of food and your pawns will waste half the day giving them head pats while you wonder where your rice stonks went.
@@Wisegirl6521 yeah but in order to keep animals tame, they require some rice and some time to give them headpats even if you zone them outside. Found that out the hard way.
First colony was a lost naked gal. I eventually hunted a boomrat and set aflame half of the map. Then, after rebuilding, getting some leather clothes, and developing some tech, a wild turkey attacked her. She killed the bird, but was left crippled, and bled out just outside of her home.
I kinda like taking the base pawns you start with and choosing from them rather than rerolling anyone. Having imperfect pawns makes for a more fun experience. Plus it's more relaistic. I feel like a hiring manager who doesn't get exactly what he wants and has to made do with his applicants.
Starvation got my first and second colony. My fourth colony had an overwhelming amount of steel and died to 31 snowhares (i had everything going for me weapons and armor wise, assault guns and charge rifles and such). The rest has become a blur but I remember getting into mods soon after this. The most interesting death I've had so far is a double heatwave (took a quest a second after randy dropped a different heatwave on me. Devilstrand wasn't cutting it at 93C) followed up by a mech cluster with 7 centipedes.
It’s also a useful tip to conserve your components that you start with because until you research a lot of high tech stuff those and the compacted machinery will be your only source of components basically don’t go on a building spree making alot of component consuming items
Phoebe: Basic Randy: Mixed Cassandra: Bullshit I was about to refund this game before I took an oath to never play with Cassandra again. Now I am 1500 hours into the game. Randy is the best.
You'd like Perry Persistent out of vanilla expanded. Constant (like CONSTANT) events that sometimes you're just like PERRY CAN YOU CHILL FOR FIVE SECONDS? YOU JUST GAVE ME RAIDERS AND 35 BLOODY LABRADORS
I'm going through my first Cassandra playthrough on strive to survive and commitment mode, why is she so bad? Isn't she supposed to get more challenging with time but give you room to breathe unlike randy? I wanted to try something different than God damn randy throwing a Heatwave, volcanic winter, eclipse and toxic fallout in a few game days
@@koresaliva Not sure how Cassandra judges growth, but after crafting my first bow on naket brutallity she send out 20 raiders carrying 2 doomsday rocket launchers. My naked skin didn't prove to be much armor.
Randy with Rimwar is fucking painful. As he no longer has direct control of raids, but he now has more space to throw other shit at you. I’ve been raided by 3 factions at the same time while 50% of the map goes up in flames because of a dry thunderstorm. Thankfully the raiders were all preindustrial; two tribal factions and a medieval one.
Wait, was it "Feed me, human" or "Feed me human"? Those are very different sentences... "Do you want to eat, grandma" or "Do you want to eat grandma"...
I just started and weirdly the most I’ve survived on crash landed is like 3 hours and the most I’ve survived on tribal is about 9 hours (and the tribal ones were killed bc I decided I guess I can beat the game and it was about to be winter so I went for it and everyone died) I also tried naked brutality bc I was bored and they got killed by a gerbil
Fun fact, the first time I met Thrumbos, I managed to kill one with my pawns unscathed (a couple of them wandered into the map and one was literally so crippled it could barely even walk: easy prey!)
So on my first play through, a random pack of Yorkshire Terriers joined the colony and bred like mad. Next thing I know, I had 16 Yorkies which tbh, made me a whole lot of money through trades. But eventually, they bred so much that it just became a hotel for dogs and I didn’t have the heart to put them down, so a new game it was 🤷🏼♀️ was late planting crops and became desperate for food, I turned them into cannibals. And then a mad cougar killed everyone so.. karma, I suppose. 😊
Friends got me into this game. How my first game went: One pawn died to a raid. They where starving so second pawn ate the first one. Third one killed the second for eating her lover.... I was left with one starving pawn and their pet raccoon. Ate the raccoon, pawn had a breakdown and set fire to the crops that were ALMOST DONE!. All this happened in about 5 minutes. I think i trama-bonded with the game...
First colony was a dunk in the dark and started with naked brutality and a 10yo child. Was able to erect a shelter in a small 2*3 space in the edge of a rock formation. First raid came up, bonked me (my pawn had the wimp trait) , and kidnapped me. End colony attempt. 😅 Proceeded to retry with the same pawn and instead waited out till the raider gave up bashing walls in. From there on it was harvesting berries, carving out the mountainside, and forming the base day by day till I got another child dropping from the sky (an yttakin). While children have penalties they are still very capable at running a small colony. Also, having an yttakin with animal warcry early game feels very OP. Can be used to defend yourself or back off a hungry predator about to turn your pawn into second breakfast. OH, fun fact, apparently using the default custom storyteller settings is identical to strive to survive. My first runs used these settings with the only change being to change child growth rate to 100%. It was an adventure to say the least.
My entire colony was just killed by a group of 4 mad boomrats. edit: It was year 2, so many people had already died, but we had a decent walled base and had even finished a killbox, but the boomrats caught a lot of pawns outside and I stupidly sent the others to rescue them and they were downed as well. Then a Man in Black showed up to save my colony but he was downed by the boomrats, too. I then watched my pawns die one by one as I could do nothing.
"common sense" mod IMO is crucial. Pawns should be smart enough to clean before doing doctoring/cooking/sleeping or doing a job where cleanliness matters. And then cooking (in a small floored room) is workable but not required. Tribal start in particular; manage your "wealth". Give crap away if it's rising too high. Seriously, I just hand out loot I got like I'm Santa at Christmas sometimes. Low wealth is better than a mechanoid raid on your tribals armed with clubs and bows sitting on a huge stockpile of gold and silver. You can get gold later when you can defend it; you can't get a colony later when mechanoids have turned the area into an inferno of pain. Last thought... your base is nice; but really not the end-all be-all. Don't die for it. Bugging out with whatever you can carry lets your colony survive and restart elsewhere with whatever you can grab. Skilled colonists with some good stuff make for a better "re-start" than a new game. When your 4 guys see 20 mechanoids incoming, and your turrets/killroom isn't up to snuff? You got your wealth way too high. Grab what you can, call it a learning experience, and run like fun.
Add some Slightly advanced tips for the ones wanting a bit more info? Sounds like fun. Lets do some less known ones. 1) Smooth walls are very nice. You can repair them. You can build power cables in them, and they're (mostly) more durable too. Using them where possible on your outer walls makes a lot of sense even if you can't build them yourself. granite has 900 for a smooth wall, or 520 for a built wall. Which do you think lasts longer when you're repairing it to stall a sapper? ;) Limestone smooth-700 built-465 Slate smooth-500 built-390 Marble smooth-450 built-360 Smooth sandstone (weakest stone) has 400 durability. sandstone brick wall has 420. Okay, sandstone stinks. Bummer. 2) Dirt doesn't need cleaned, but isn't that dirty. Dirt floors everywhere avoid you tracking in dirt. Stone floors (natural, not built) don't pick up dirt aside from vomit and blood. And don't have a serious "dirty" modifier for researching or cooking. If you have a handy mountain with stone ground nearby? Set your cook up there. Just keep you butcher table outside/away some to avoid blood. But it's not pretty? Get a small statue for that; and you still avoid a massive cleaning job. 3) The Anima tree (for tribals and those who capture tribals). It says don't build on/near it and tries to warn you building anywhere near it... And it is lying to you to make you suffer needlessly. I think Randy wrote that part. The tree is for 2 things, in order of importance (IMO). 1) Grow grass to get to 20 to gain psycaster levels. This is unaffected by building near the tree. Yep, no change. Surrounding it with walls or leaving it in a pristine grove gets you the exact same Anima Grass grow speed when a natural focus guy meditates there. 2) Meditation psyfocus to gain psy-power. This is affected; but it's not terrible. You have a base 50%/day (≈2%/hour). It can give you another 30%, getting to 80%/day (≈3%/hour). Lets say you schedule 3 hours to meditate? Oooh, you get 9%, not 6%? But it's half the map away and you spend an hour walking there and back in those 3 hours... so you lost all of your gain. But at least you're outside the walls where the manhunting warg pack will eat you; and your grass is far enough away that Randy's dry thunderstorm will burn the grass away (the tree doesn't burn, but the grass surely does, trust me, Randy hates me having Anima grass). So build it inside; just leave 20+ dirt/gravel areas for the grass to grow (and clear other trees if needed, anima grass will replace grass, but not trees). 4) Psyfocus shuffling (generally for tribals). Your lone recruited tribal wizzzard is doing well, but has to meditate a ton as he keeps burning psy-mana like a crazy man? Wish you had that 30%, even halfway across the map? No. Don't say such heresy. Don't even think that. Are you a cannibal/psychopath/bloodlust/masochist/undergrounder? Then you're in luck. (ascetic, slightly less so) Build 5 Sarcofa... Sarcophi... coffins near your meditation spot by the tree. Fill them with people (whoever you've got). If you can get a relative of your wazzard in one. (wall for an ascetic). Because you use your best psyfocus. 0% tree or 28% coffin pile (38% if you were related)? Coffin is better. (22% for an Ascetic with a wall). AND if you're in range of the tree? Then you still grow grass for your next captured tribal to gain more wizzzird powers. Yes, really. That's what I do, every time. 5) Do NOT get a tribal wizard a royal title. Just don't. Titles give me psypower? Only if you have a LOWER level than the title. If you have a level 3+ tribal psycaster, and grind him up to be a knight? He needs a fancy bedroom and a throne room and you get NO PSYPOWERS. You already had level 3, so they skip you. And now you have a throne room, so you spend your meditation time on your throne. Away from your tree, and you have to block your guy out of his throne room entirely to avoid that. 6) If you want a Royal for psypowers and especially the permits to call in troopers and airstrikes? Okay, Get an Ascetic one. They want a crappy room and terrible clothes. They won't complain about either. You only even need a throne room when you want to do a title ceremony; and then you can let the braziers burn out; it's not important to him. Count Gekkobear in his crappy dirt closet with his tribalwear and no throne room? +5 for a crappy bedrooom, 0 for no throne or no braziers, 0 for clothes, 0 for not a count bedroom. Vagabond Kings are the best kings... apparently. Who knew?
The MiB often fires in my colonies when I'm not actually in danger. It's mostly because everyone except the medic is down in anesthesia due to 'mandatory bionic upgrades', then the medic goes into Overdosing because more often than not, I do not pay attention enough to all the drugs I have lying around.
my tip is don't pick pawns with poor world outlooks. I took a depressive and a pessimist as 2 of my 3 bc they were skilled and... well they were constantly at minor break risk until about mid game. Also, thrumbos... Hmmm.... yeah well i had 8 pawns and decent weapons. I thought i stood a chance and basically got destroyed by them. Uncool!
I watch so much rimworld content but I don’t know how to play myself. I’ve barely survived a couple years and never get to the end game or even mid game state. Thanks for doing a guide though, as having to restart this many times gets a bit old.
I just learned that you can click-drag to assign meal and drug types to the entire list, instead of choosing each one twenty four times to go back and forth. It works for slaughtering animals too!
my first colony, Randy bless his soul, decided that we needed a plague. Followed by a raid. Where i lost 2 pawns, and 2 pawns were down due to the plague. man in black came, colony stabilized. Randy gifted me chickens. SO. MANY. CHICKENS Also MIB also catches plague chicken population started out around 8 or so. This soon exlpoded to over 30. I did not know what to do, nor did i have the food to feed them. the chicks would hatch, starve then die, as i had no hay grass, kibble or even normal foods like rice to feed them, as my colonists were in bed due to the plague. I couldnt grow more food, and they ate what food was there. Shady Creek was lost, barely 3 years in As a Dwarf Fortress enjoyer, i felt right at home
Another random tip. Take full advantage of your starting area. Full time growing period? Farm till you drop "don't survive of hunting only for like three years"
I didnt knew what to do with the first raider so when i beat him i accidentally ordered one of my pawns to shoot him to dead while in the floor and then i left him there like a week, they didnt like to see a corpse too much
So i saw a couple thrumbos in my first colony and thought that itd be cool if i could tame them. It wouldn't let me tame them so i decided i would settle for killing them and getting whatever i could out of them. I sent all 3 of my people at it with the starting guns / knife and all of my colonists proceeded to get absolutely destroyed. Knowing not to fuck with a thrumbo wouldve been nice. I'm glad i watched this video
4:00 My 2nd game ever was going pretty well, until a cluster of robots with a mortar landed next to my base and a two week fallout began raining down over the land, killing every food source and making it impossible to survive a trip to snipe down the mortar. Edit: I laughed as I watched it all burn, as people descended into violent madness due to starvation.

I would love for someone to play really, really, old versions of Rimworld. Like back when the fear mechanic was still in the game. People think it's hardcore now, but they know nothing :P
IIRC they're available on the Ludeon studios website.
Instructions unclear, punched thrumbo and now my hand is on the ground.... and now my legs are missing... and now i am but a humble torso.
I have 450 but never have got fabrication
@@Jcewazhere Are they really? I haven't seen those in years. I still wish Tynan had done more with the fear system and vanilla game door locks that were around way back in the early alphas.
u only have 17k subscribers fire the fucken writer and do it urself ur not gettin a doller u lazy inbred
- Just bought the game before watching this video
- Went through the tutorial
- tried to attack a pack of buffalos right after i completed the tutorial to get food
And that’s how i ended here
If you can call it a colony, I just got the game and started on the hardest difficulty with naked brutality and Robbie Random set to "Losing is fun". Started out with a one-armed cannibal who is a great shot but not great at much else. I got a somewhat sizable base set up in the boreal forest before he starved to death. I could not get him to pick berries for the life of me. He did, however, snap out of a daze once to rush half way across the map and eat a dead raccoon, then go immediately back into a daze.
😂😂🤣🤣😂
The mad dash to eat the raccoon. 🏃
First colony, now that is a story. It involved slaughtering boomalopes in a wooden barn, meteors hitting my chemfuel next to my barracks while half of my pawns were down with the plague and every pawn trying to do everything and going nowhere. It was mercifully ended by a man-hunting Thrumbo herd, 3 rocket raiders and and infestation all at once. Then I started looking at guides.
hahahaaha. oh man. that shiet hilarious.
Sweet mercyful Randy who did you decide to use as the teller? Well if it's that chaotic it had to be Randy. Oh and my first was basicly blitz's rimworld experince as I did a cannibal colony. It lived. Never saw it die but than I learned about dev mode and my next dozen have cheated till I got into high about of mods. Than I just never finish it. Oh and currently I have only cheated so my colony don't get fucked by stupidity round of events that happen to be rim of horrors mod. (I HAD A FUCKIN STAR SPAWN NEARLY KILL one of my colonests. Oh and they frail things. As avali, but I do have by now a 80or so teifling and a kobold, (who has one the favor of my personal colonist who is my starbound main character I play with, or on eof them any way) so ya coloney is rocket as of now but living in their frozen waste just fine.
I don’t know for certain, I’m not sure a guide would help with that. Maybe a guide on how to bury rimworlders while dead.
@@lechking941 Yes, it was Randy. I realized not long after that Randy's description was not hyperbole.
Wow that is SUPER unlucky, LOL
Pro tip, if a trading caravan passes, and they have a slave. You can attack the slave (you loose a bit of relationship per hit), to lower their silver cost. The more you beat them the more their price drops.
hahaha. that's so great to know also pretty fuck up too. that par for the course in rimworld.
That is such a Rimworld thing, why have I never thought of it.
I had this tip thinks to the shit rimworld says mod.
Colonist: "Hey, how much for this slave?"
Trader: "Ah, this one is worth 1150 silver, good sir!"
*Colonist pulls out a Uranium mace*
_BONG_
Colonist: "How much now?"
Trader: "...uhh, I guess 1050, but pleas-"
_BONG_
Colonist: "Now?"
Trader: "Sir, I have to inform you what you are doing is VERY inappropriate behavio-"
_BONG, BONG, BONG_
Trader: "STOP IT, STOP IT, FINE! 550 silver, last offer you savage!!"
Colonist: "Deal..." :)
*Colonist proceeds to drag the carcass behind their defenses*
lmaoo. I just read somewhere that you can go into dev mode and do ten damage to whatever colonist you want, like you're slapping them.
In my last colony (it died 1 hour ago) I actually had a strange event which is probably a part of the alpha animals thing. A person joined my ranks randomly, did work though not much, and ate a shit ton. It was kinda strange but I let it pass. Suddenly, right after I had cleared a large infestation, that person suddenly "died". It turned out that it was a insectoid called a Mime that took the form of a colonist to eat my food, though since the game suddenly thought I was out of food for some reason, it dropped the facade and went on the attack. It's kind of a strange event but one to keep in mind.
That's pretty dope actually
I hate mimes, pro tip, if u get a fishy new colonist joining and u think something is off (100% of times, this is RM) quarantineimmediately and dont give any food to the new one, if after 2/3 days of starving the dude is still human u can release him, works fine for me (not always, prob 80% of times i can detect the mime using quarantine.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
This story just single handedly made me decide to buy this game, TONIGHT!
WTF... I didn't know this was possible.....
Pro tip, if you arrest a social fighting pawn, you can just draft the one arresting them and it'll immediately end their fight without imprisoning them
Holy shit thanks for this! I havent had any limbs go missing from social fights yet but it was only a matter of time
wow I legit didn't know that
Thanks for the tip!
I got a disaster very early in the game one of my pawn got his brain mangled in a social fight. Losing 70% manipulation and movement.
Ah yes. A social dispute naturally leads to ripping limbs off, so this is helpful advice.
Holy shit. 1.5k hours and just learning this. Usually i let them a day in prison.
Just remember Boomalope explode when they die so if one gets old it can suffer from heart attacks and die then your base is fire along with your other animals
One of my early runs had a toxic fallout on a map with a ton of booma-critters.
Like living in a warzone, listening to the explosions all night.
And those wooden outer walls may have been a mistake? Oh well.
Die in a horrible fiery inferno and learn... Die in a horrible fiery inferno and learn.
@@gekkobear2 now I want that expetince
Psh my pawns get yearly age removed in the biosculptor
For the easiest start choose a temperate forest with hills and the "permanent summer" attribute as a starting tile
My first colony involved building wood houses while my miners dug out a mountain side. When everything was smoothed over and nice I deconstructed the barracks.
Collapsing roof got all three of them.
Randy is both the hardest and easiest Storyteller, it just depends on what he randomly does.
They say Phoebecan be rough, but she'll never send 2 sieges, a psychic ship and the flu to 7 men colony in 2 days like Randy
he keeps sending you shit, no matter if it's good or bad. i get hordes of self tamed dogs or chinchillas every now and then. also a horde of mad geese seem to be a common recurring event.
@@elbonnybar ya that's Randy for ya. So crazy you have a god base in year 1 or getting punished for sniffing that yayo by lethal overdose.
I wish more games, such as Rougelikes, used a "storytellter-like" system.
My randy campaign is going really well he’s given me drugs, good psychic soothe effects, and a horde of 35 ducks with some minor raids… all at the price of killing my beloved dog with the plague thank you randy
I highly recommend Phoebe on the lowest difficulty for a 2nd or 3rd playthrough.
Its literally a different game. More comparable to stardew.
Relax and farm and chill.
Oh ive done that before. Good for testing things out
I do that with a ton of mods that makes everything other than combat more difficult
a couple of thing we kinda overlooked:
- Temperature control is big one.
- Hydriponics and the ideal grow temp for food and drugs (specially drugs)
- the importance of Art. (cuz i know you're a man of culture)
- also teching people about NOT DIGGIN TO DEEP INTO A MOUNTAIN. a.k.a Overhead moutain tiles.
- also armor or better yet prostetics.
"NOT DIGGIN TO DEEP INTO A MOUNTAIN"
Whoops...
My first one was this. Starting with the 3 pawns picked a rocky terrain with a lot of minerals and other stuff but i was forgot about the necessity of food and wood as a needing material for starters.
i was well preped from videos at least that was i tought. And off course because i started the game with vanilla expanded give or take a 100+ mods
Around 60 hours of sweat and blood & swear to gods and devils, i was fine. No more manhunting packs of predatory animals, no lightning strikes directly hitting pawns, and finnaly: no more mentalbreaks. after 60 hours i had a chance to start my mining operations and carve my empire large business from the mountain. And what my story teller cannot done i made it my self: 3 out of my 5 pawns ended up a pancake under the moutain tiles including my doctors and yes... rest of the two was non capable of violence... and a very next day i got raid again... and that was a moment when i gave up...
Me who has 600 hours in Rimworld and still watching it.😅
LOL I was about to type the exact same thing!!!
XD
Same here XD
900
Add also mod the hell out of it 😅
My first game, I went with Builder, Phobe Chillax, a diverse set of skilled pawns on a crash landed scenario, 2 tradeable villages nearby, no negative traits on my pawns, and a temperate forest. first 20 minutes, heat wave, my people couldn't go outside to do anything without starting to have heatstroke issues, and eventually anyone who went outside to collect food, was hospitalized with heatstroke, and my people ran out of food. I think my last pawn died at about minute 85. I was thinking. "hmm... That's not a good start"
I just had the same experience on my first playthrough, hence why I'm here lol
I just got this game. I underestimated the difficulty. Everyone died except the dog. It took me a few hours to realize the world is not just the map my base is on. This guide seems like it will help alot.
You just condensed a five hour tutorial into 23 minutes without taking a single breath or using any editing software, you Legend. Now what's the fire button and why cant I jump lol. Noobert this game better be worth the NASA level learning curve, Ive just got my head around Kenshi lol.
We can teach you Zomboid next
@@Noobert lol
Shorter, the first 90 seconds is rambling and self promoting his crap.
Pro tip! If you see a wild man and want to recruit them but you have no one with the skills for taming animals all you have to do is beat the crap out of them. Then when there down rescue them. For some odd reason they think highly of you saving them after you brutally beat them that they will either A.) Decide not to join and leave Or B.) Join because you were so Kind on saving there life from the danger that is yourself. Well we don't like answer (A) so we gonna keep beating them and rescuing them until they realize we are good people and eventually they actually will join. Be sure to use a club or wood because apparently your colonist will bite them and cause a infection in there torso and you have to waste medicine saving someone that is going to be making your colony more artistic. My longest attempt was 3 recuse missions, He may be a trauma savant now but damn the base started looking pretty.
Side note you cant reduce there resistance if there a prisoner because they are treated like animals. You can however throw them in a cell and wait for the slavers to come by to make some extra profit.
Big brain here
This is hilarious. “The base starting to look pretty” after explaining he beat the man senseless a few times. It’s sick, it’s funny and why Rim World rocks
From what i've seen, trying to explain a simplified version of Rimworld to someone who's never played before is almost impossible since everything in the game affects, causes or is caused by something else within the game leading to small rabbit holes throughout the whole explanation lmao.
Great video as usual, btw!
Which is why we make lots and lots and lots of guides
Simple: top down survival base-builder, where you assign a certain number of pawns to complete jobs to allow for survival and base building in a foreign world with many threats from environment to enemies.
I've been playing this game for approaching 4000 hours. I'm just here to vibe
Some extra tips: the button to stop the home area to be set by the game is on the right side on the bottom of the screen (looks like an home) there is also another very useful one (looks like an hammer) that makes it so whenever something is destroyed ib the home area a blueprint is put in it's place so that your builder will rebuild it.
You can also youse the room stats one to se what is important for a room as some stats are bright white and some grey, the white ones are important, the grey ones not.
Is there even an option to turn the auto reconstruct on?
@@lechking941 yes
@@Gravityplaysfifa back when i made it i never knew it existed and was less skilled and just a number of things

I usually spend most of my time creating scenarios for my play through, wasted 2-3 hours created and then scrapped everything to start again sadly ;-;
Oof I get ya. I have yet to win or comet a game
So you create senarios? Do you post them..sorry if this is a weird question as I'm new to the game
I like this guy. His voice isn't awful.
Thanks
Also does dumb shit getting the point over well
Yeah, really sick of the British youtubers too
@@villainova8941 kind of left feild but ok i mean you proably have so many because you watch so many. and i know just as many aussie youtubers as i do brits just about. hell even a few more out in the world i think even a dude who maybe indian in origan. that indian does medical story vids but he coud have that decent idk.
Can't understand half the crap he says. Literally, his accent and him just talking fast make it sound like he's speaking gibberish sometimes. Oh well.
One tip that I pain-stakingly found out as my crops grew in. Be careful when clicking on your crop plots, because you can select all of them at the same time. I didn't have any animals to help with fabric, and being new to the game thought, "cotton works" Now I have a lot of cotton and am struggling on food. Otherwise, my colonists seem to love chopping down trees, to the point of forgetting to be jailers so I ended up with less mouths to feed as a positive...
I will never forget what happened to my last pyromaniac, he set fire to my chemfuel storage, with a stone door the resulting explosion took out him, the building and my entire chemfuel supply, but I didn’t miss him, he was a pain in the ass, he was a Rival to most of my colony and apart from my supplies literally going up in smoke, it wasn’t a huge deal
Lmao
I'm certain that, in any survival game, we all remember our 1st & our best/fav runs.
I'm still fairly new myself but my 1st run really showed me that going in partially blind was a bad move lol......
A capybara infected 1 of my 3 pawns, but injured 2 total.
I wasn't able to heal the infection.......so I also learned how pet bonds are impacted when the owner dies.
I lost my ENTIRE colony to a damn Terrier.
I wasn't liking the spawn area I chose or the skills of my pawns, so I never bothered reloading an earlier save.
To this day, I keep a wary eye on all pets lol
Important raider tip. Always check to make sure the raiders don't have the Raid Aging Disease. If you capture such a raider you will have to execute them, as you will most likely never be able to heal them fast enough to outpace the aging. They do make very good skill dummies for your doctors and wardens though.
I hadn't played in a long time, but recently decided to get back into the game. My first colony there ended due to an unfortunate combination of a cold snap, solar flare, and a plague when I had only the most barebones infrastructure set up. Thanks Randy.
Now on to the next attempt!
I just got the game and it’s so overwhelming 😅 I’m new to this category of game and there’s so many mechanics and small details which seems too hard to micromanage.
I can't wait to play this. These types of games are wonderful for me exactly for the reasons they can be overwhelming. Feels like control in a chaotic world I guess.

ive got about 1285 hours to and yeah i still get hints and tips especially on aspects of my favourite mods
We shall praise the TH-cam algorithm gods.
Great video
Thanks and yes give praise
yes very useful info for 900 hours i keep forgetting they need recreation
I've got a tribal start, slowly climbing up the tech tree, my base is starting to become fortified...
Gonna sell some drugs for machinepistols and learn electronics after that.
I just started. A mad rat beat up all my guys and then a bunch of ducks moved in. A bunch of people wanted to trade but I couldn't figure it out until 2 hours in. Now we're all starving , slowly going insane, as lighting is coming down from the heavens setting the jungle a blaze and I've only played for like 3 hours. This is fun.
Started two days ago and have been playing at work while I have free time. It's been maybe half a year in the game.
2 of my colonists died. My dog died. A man in black came, immediately got injured, and my lone colonist nursed him back to health. He's been a beast the whole time and the only reason I picked him is because the game named him Fartier. Fartier the Farmer.
So now it's just Fartier and Anarchist (the man in black), and a wild woman they imprisoned for stealing food. Except now they feed her and probably waste more now.
I've tried to save two people on the edge of my map that crash landed and both died in Fartier's arms as he rushed back to the base. Sad.
Live on the equator, it has a permanent summer and as a result has a year round growing season, useful for getting used to the game or having a more relaxed experience
Perfect timing. I literally started playing last week. Now I can see everything I've done wrong for the next playthrough (maybe with some needed mods though)!
Mods? Who would need mods?
*Moves to block screen on Steam showing 165 subscribed mods*
I don't have a problem... I can quit any time I want!
13:50 the perfect shot actually happened to me he got the best stats for shooting a whooping 13 but when I checked his health card it said he was a pacifist and couldn't shoot a gun or hold a weapon but he had 6 in farming so at least he could tend the fields
Punched a thrumbo. Nothing bad happened. Great advice.
As for my first colony... Well, I took the new solo mechanitor start. To give you an idea of my experience at the time, I had finished the colony and done nothing else. To make a long story short, my colonist got attacked by a rat. The wound got infected because I didn't know that I had to enable self-tend, then she died from her infection.
First video of yours I've seen, and first time I've actually looked into Rimworld. 10 mins into the video, subbed to you and bought the game.
Thank you man! I’ve watched so much Rimworld content, but felt utterly lost when I started playing last night
Glad i could help
i’m in your exact situation 😂😂
I know that this tutorial is pretty old now, but i can give some of my tips. First thing you do after starting the game, is making the schedule, my standard schedule is sleeping from 22 to 5, 3 hours of recreation after they wake up, and after the work, 2 hours of recreation. Always have a guy that only cook, otherwise you'll have huge problem with food. So if we had the setup behind us, we can talk about late game. First thing you want to do after making formalities is selecting some trees to chop, and placing down a campfire, butcher spot and a crafting spot, so your cook could feed your pawns, and crafting spot, if you are chad like me, and spawn wihout nothing. After you've set up some campfire, you should hunt some animals or harvest berries, so your cook could use his new kitchen, dont forget about storage space near your kitchen. After your food supplies will grow, build your first building, and make interior at least 5 blocks wide, so you could build hi-tech research table here after some time, but for now, you should have fun with normal research table. So after you placed your research table, prioritize researching cooling systems, so you could make a freezer, and then the fabrication, so you could make components, cause they are rare as damn if you use them all. After it all, i just do my own buisiness with mods, i build some houses, farms or factories, but late game, peace.
Thanks for sharing your tips mate
I remember my first play-through and during a raid, My main gunner she got beat down by a lone tribal, then the medic kept vomiting due to food poisoning and the last dude collapsed. Food Poisoning.
Boomalopes are dangerous, and fire is scary. That is all I learned after the tutorial on my first world
Horses make for great pack animals because your colonist actually rides them during the caravan trip, cutting the time down by loads. My current colony has a nearby settlement 0.7 days away, with a horse it’s 0.2
Pro tip
Use the nutrient paste dispenser as it uses less food materials than your standard stove meaning you'll be able to free up more colonists to do whatever you want
Granted they need power and taste awful but the benefits outweigh the downsides
This isn't a beginners guide, this is top tips. This really didn't explain what you actually need to do as a beginner or how.
honestly i tried so hard to play this game quiet a few times, but my first colony that lasted over an hour was a Solo cannibal frozen icesheet that i played side-by-side with a letsplay. Still not 100% sure why, but that really helped me understand the HUD and basics.
If you are getting tired of vanilla Rimworld but don't want to get caught up in modding , I highly recommend: Hardcore SK.
It's a mod pack that gets continually worked on and adds a lot of depth to the game while being balanced. Do a tribal start, it's a lot of fun!
What you said was if you don't like want to mess with mods I have an overhaul mod for you lol
Been watching this game for years, finally got it yesterday.
First problem: colonist has equal melee/guns, and would get a -20 if i gave them a gun or melee and it always says brawler has no melee weapon/hunter has no gun
Problem 2: no traders
Problem 3: lost a colonist to a rabbit somehow (monty python moment -.-)
Absolutely love playing this game though
so you lost a colonist to the killer rabbit of caerbannog?
"Where's the lamb sauce?" you have earned my sub sir
You are severely underrated, you put in alot of work into all your videos and I know, deep down, that you will reach mega heights with time :)
Thanks a bunch mate
15:50 If they decide to not join then you need to use more aggressive forms of persuasion. The medicine and food spent on saving them wasn't cheap and you can always use more colonists.
It’s debateable which my first colony was.
There was the first game where one pawn walked into an insect cave and died (less than 2 days in). And I just noped and started a new game.
Then the one where I tried to make a mountain base but only managed to get a 6 tile long hallway. The only doctor died of malaria, a wildman got in and ate the survival meals, and the two remaining pawns started starving before the rice could finish growing. Then 2 guys with clubs showed up and beat them to death.
Pro tip don’t raise an army of rats or Guinea Pigs for the meme value. It costs an insurmountable amount of food and your pawns will waste half the day giving them head pats while you wonder where your rice stonks went.
Zone the rats and pigs away from your food stockpile so that they would eat grass
@@Wisegirl6521 yeah but in order to keep animals tame, they require some rice and some time to give them headpats even if you zone them outside. Found that out the hard way.
@@siaowun9418 how many rats/pig do you have in your army maybe limit it to only ten and grow hay grass that don’t cost as much as rice to feed them
i've played rimworld like literally just three days ago and I've had a manhunter alpaca maul one of my colonists to an abasia, 10/10
My felling said the ducks from the start is from his experience with duck in discord.
XD
First colony was a lost naked gal. I eventually hunted a boomrat and set aflame half of the map. Then, after rebuilding, getting some leather clothes, and developing some tech, a wild turkey attacked her. She killed the bird, but was left crippled, and bled out just outside of her home.
I kinda like taking the base pawns you start with and choosing from them rather than rerolling anyone. Having imperfect pawns makes for a more fun experience. Plus it's more relaistic. I feel like a hiring manager who doesn't get exactly what he wants and has to made do with his applicants.

I just *got* rimworld and everything is going perfectly in my first colony
(Ravenously hungry -20)
My first time playing this was yersterday and my 3 men crew died to one of the exploding citters when i used all 3 of them to attack it with melee😅
Lol but you learnt a valuable lesson for your second colony
Great video, and great tips! I like how you keep it interesting throughout.
Starvation got my first and second colony. My fourth colony had an overwhelming amount of steel and died to 31 snowhares (i had everything going for me weapons and armor wise, assault guns and charge rifles and such). The rest has become a blur but I remember getting into mods soon after this. The most interesting death I've had so far is a double heatwave (took a quest a second after randy dropped a different heatwave on me. Devilstrand wasn't cutting it at 93C) followed up by a mech cluster with 7 centipedes.
My first game had 9 Yorkshire terriers decide to be a part of the colony out of nowhere, and that’s how I starved to death
Why didn’t you eat the dogs?
@@manhattannewyork-fr5pd I couldn’t bring myself to, they were too precious

Well played sir.
It’s also a useful tip to conserve your components that you start with because until you research a lot of high tech stuff those and the compacted machinery will be your only source of components basically don’t go on a building spree making alot of component consuming items
First Game today! I've been eyeing this one for years. Finally spent the money. Fun but totally confusing at first glance!
Phoebe: Basic
Randy: Mixed
Cassandra: Bullshit
I was about to refund this game before I took an oath to never play with Cassandra again. Now I am 1500 hours into the game. Randy is the best.
You'd like Perry Persistent out of vanilla expanded. Constant (like CONSTANT) events that sometimes you're just like PERRY CAN YOU CHILL FOR FIVE SECONDS? YOU JUST GAVE ME RAIDERS AND 35 BLOODY LABRADORS
I'm going through my first Cassandra playthrough on strive to survive and commitment mode, why is she so bad? Isn't she supposed to get more challenging with time but give you room to breathe unlike randy? I wanted to try something different than God damn randy throwing a Heatwave, volcanic winter, eclipse and toxic fallout in a few game days
@@koresaliva Not sure how Cassandra judges growth, but after crafting my first bow on naket brutallity she send out 20 raiders carrying 2 doomsday rocket launchers. My naked skin didn't prove to be much armor.
Randy with Rimwar is fucking painful. As he no longer has direct control of raids, but he now has more space to throw other shit at you. I’ve been raided by 3 factions at the same time while 50% of the map goes up in flames because of a dry thunderstorm. Thankfully the raiders were all preindustrial; two tribal factions and a medieval one.
@@TheTSense That bow must've been of a rarity 20 times higher than legendary, Damn she wiped you off the rim
Wait, was it "Feed me, human" or "Feed me human"? Those are very different sentences... "Do you want to eat, grandma" or "Do you want to eat grandma"...
do you want to eat grandma, grandma?
A colony full of physcopaths: "HMMMM INTRESTING"
I just started and weirdly the most I’ve survived on crash landed is like 3 hours and the most I’ve survived on tribal is about 9 hours (and the tribal ones were killed bc I decided I guess I can beat the game and it was about to be winter so I went for it and everyone died)
I also tried naked brutality bc I was bored and they got killed by a gerbil
Fun fact, the first time I met Thrumbos, I managed to kill one with my pawns unscathed (a couple of them wandered into the map and one was literally so crippled it could barely even walk: easy prey!)
So on my first play through, a random pack of Yorkshire Terriers joined the colony and bred like mad. Next thing I know, I had 16 Yorkies which tbh, made me a whole lot of money through trades. But eventually, they bred so much that it just became a hotel for dogs and I didn’t have the heart to put them down, so a new game it was 🤷🏼♀️ was late planting crops and became desperate for food, I turned them into cannibals. And then a mad cougar killed everyone so.. karma, I suppose. 😊
Pheobe Chillax needs to chillax 😤
Friends got me into this game.
How my first game went:
One pawn died to a raid. They where starving so second pawn ate the first one. Third one killed the second for eating her lover....
I was left with one starving pawn and their pet raccoon.
Ate the raccoon, pawn had a breakdown and set fire to the crops that were ALMOST DONE!.
All this happened in about 5 minutes.
I think i trama-bonded with the game...
First colony was a dunk in the dark and started with naked brutality and a 10yo child. Was able to erect a shelter in a small 2*3 space in the edge of a rock formation. First raid came up, bonked me (my pawn had the wimp trait) , and kidnapped me. End colony attempt. 😅
Proceeded to retry with the same pawn and instead waited out till the raider gave up bashing walls in. From there on it was harvesting berries, carving out the mountainside, and forming the base day by day till I got another child dropping from the sky (an yttakin). While children have penalties they are still very capable at running a small colony. Also, having an yttakin with animal warcry early game feels very OP. Can be used to defend yourself or back off a hungry predator about to turn your pawn into second breakfast.
OH, fun fact, apparently using the default custom storyteller settings is identical to strive to survive. My first runs used these settings with the only change being to change child growth rate to 100%. It was an adventure to say the least.
My entire colony was just killed by a group of 4 mad boomrats. edit: It was year 2, so many people had already died, but we had a decent walled base and had even finished a killbox, but the boomrats caught a lot of pawns outside and I stupidly sent the others to rescue them and they were downed as well. Then a Man in Black showed up to save my colony but he was downed by the boomrats, too. I then watched my pawns die one by one as I could do nothing.
"common sense" mod IMO is crucial.
Pawns should be smart enough to clean before doing doctoring/cooking/sleeping or doing a job where cleanliness matters.
And then cooking (in a small floored room) is workable but not required.
Tribal start in particular; manage your "wealth". Give crap away if it's rising too high. Seriously, I just hand out loot I got like I'm Santa at Christmas sometimes.
Low wealth is better than a mechanoid raid on your tribals armed with clubs and bows sitting on a huge stockpile of gold and silver.
You can get gold later when you can defend it; you can't get a colony later when mechanoids have turned the area into an inferno of pain.
Last thought... your base is nice; but really not the end-all be-all. Don't die for it.
Bugging out with whatever you can carry lets your colony survive and restart elsewhere with whatever you can grab.
Skilled colonists with some good stuff make for a better "re-start" than a new game.
When your 4 guys see 20 mechanoids incoming, and your turrets/killroom isn't up to snuff? You got your wealth way too high.
Grab what you can, call it a learning experience, and run like fun.
Add some Slightly advanced tips for the ones wanting a bit more info? Sounds like fun. Lets do some less known ones.
1) Smooth walls are very nice. You can repair them. You can build power cables in them, and they're (mostly) more durable too.
Using them where possible on your outer walls makes a lot of sense even if you can't build them yourself.
granite has 900 for a smooth wall, or 520 for a built wall. Which do you think lasts longer when you're repairing it to stall a sapper? ;)
Limestone smooth-700 built-465
Slate smooth-500 built-390
Marble smooth-450 built-360
Smooth sandstone (weakest stone) has 400 durability. sandstone brick wall has 420. Okay, sandstone stinks. Bummer.
2) Dirt doesn't need cleaned, but isn't that dirty. Dirt floors everywhere avoid you tracking in dirt.
Stone floors (natural, not built) don't pick up dirt aside from vomit and blood. And don't have a serious "dirty" modifier for researching or cooking.
If you have a handy mountain with stone ground nearby? Set your cook up there. Just keep you butcher table outside/away some to avoid blood.
But it's not pretty? Get a small statue for that; and you still avoid a massive cleaning job.
3) The Anima tree (for tribals and those who capture tribals).
It says don't build on/near it and tries to warn you building anywhere near it... And it is lying to you to make you suffer needlessly. I think Randy wrote that part.
The tree is for 2 things, in order of importance (IMO).
1) Grow grass to get to 20 to gain psycaster levels. This is unaffected by building near the tree.
Yep, no change. Surrounding it with walls or leaving it in a pristine grove gets you the exact same Anima Grass grow speed when a natural focus guy meditates there.
2) Meditation psyfocus to gain psy-power. This is affected; but it's not terrible. You have a base 50%/day (≈2%/hour). It can give you another 30%, getting to 80%/day (≈3%/hour).
Lets say you schedule 3 hours to meditate?
Oooh, you get 9%, not 6%? But it's half the map away and you spend an hour walking there and back in those 3 hours... so you lost all of your gain.
But at least you're outside the walls where the manhunting warg pack will eat you; and your grass is far enough away that Randy's dry thunderstorm will burn the grass away (the tree doesn't burn, but the grass surely does, trust me, Randy hates me having Anima grass).
So build it inside; just leave 20+ dirt/gravel areas for the grass to grow (and clear other trees if needed, anima grass will replace grass, but not trees).
4) Psyfocus shuffling (generally for tribals).
Your lone recruited tribal wizzzard is doing well, but has to meditate a ton as he keeps burning psy-mana like a crazy man?
Wish you had that 30%, even halfway across the map? No. Don't say such heresy. Don't even think that.
Are you a cannibal/psychopath/bloodlust/masochist/undergrounder? Then you're in luck. (ascetic, slightly less so)
Build 5 Sarcofa... Sarcophi... coffins near your meditation spot by the tree. Fill them with people (whoever you've got).
If you can get a relative of your wazzard in one. (wall for an ascetic).
Because you use your best psyfocus. 0% tree or 28% coffin pile (38% if you were related)? Coffin is better. (22% for an Ascetic with a wall).
AND if you're in range of the tree? Then you still grow grass for your next captured tribal to gain more wizzzird powers. Yes, really. That's what I do, every time.
5) Do NOT get a tribal wizard a royal title. Just don't.
Titles give me psypower? Only if you have a LOWER level than the title. If you have a level 3+ tribal psycaster, and grind him up to be a knight? He needs a fancy bedroom and a throne room and you get NO PSYPOWERS. You already had level 3, so they skip you.
And now you have a throne room, so you spend your meditation time on your throne. Away from your tree, and you have to block your guy out of his throne room entirely to avoid that.
6) If you want a Royal for psypowers and especially the permits to call in troopers and airstrikes?
Okay, Get an Ascetic one. They want a crappy room and terrible clothes. They won't complain about either.
You only even need a throne room when you want to do a title ceremony; and then you can let the braziers burn out; it's not important to him.
Count Gekkobear in his crappy dirt closet with his tribalwear and no throne room? +5 for a crappy bedrooom, 0 for no throne or no braziers, 0 for clothes, 0 for not a count bedroom.
Vagabond Kings are the best kings... apparently. Who knew?
The MiB often fires in my colonies when I'm not actually in danger. It's mostly because everyone except the medic is down in anesthesia due to 'mandatory bionic upgrades', then the medic goes into Overdosing because more often than not, I do not pay attention enough to all the drugs I have lying around.
I am very confused... title and video don’t seem to fit correctly... this meant to be an April fools thing?
Nooooooooooo! I have been had!
It's April 3
i made mistake. it has been fixed
I just bought the game when I saw biotech!! I'm soooo lost lol. Thanks for this, can't wait to learn things so I can start modding :D
I've never played rimworld before cuz no PC but it's coming out on console so I'm very excited
6:36 that was my problem early on. I still survived with only one pawn who could fight though
Wish I saw this video before playing as a Lost Tribe in a Boreal forest where they all ended up with hypothermia...including the Man in Black.
Oh that sounds like it was rough
my tip is don't pick pawns with poor world outlooks. I took a depressive and a pessimist as 2 of my 3 bc they were skilled and... well they were constantly at minor break risk until about mid game.
Also, thrumbos... Hmmm.... yeah well i had 8 pawns and decent weapons. I thought i stood a chance and basically got destroyed by them. Uncool!
I watch so much rimworld content but I don’t know how to play myself. I’ve barely survived a couple years and never get to the end game or even mid game state. Thanks for doing a guide though, as having to restart this many times gets a bit old.
You have to fail to win and Invest to start producing, the more you learn and fail, the less often it will happen in the future
Also plant as much as you can early game to deal with food and make pemican
I just learned that you can click-drag to assign meal and drug types to the entire list, instead of choosing each one twenty four times to go back and forth.
It works for slaughtering animals too!
woah! 3:26! the predator?? epic.
my first colony, Randy bless his soul, decided that we needed a plague.
Followed by a raid. Where i lost 2 pawns, and 2 pawns were down due to the plague.
man in black came, colony stabilized.
Randy gifted me chickens.
SO. MANY. CHICKENS
Also MIB also catches plague
chicken population started out around 8 or so. This soon exlpoded to over 30. I did not know what to do, nor did i have the food to feed them.
the chicks would hatch, starve then die, as i had no hay grass, kibble or even normal foods like rice to feed them, as my colonists were in bed due to the plague. I couldnt grow more food, and they ate what food was there. Shady Creek was lost, barely 3 years in
As a Dwarf Fortress enjoyer, i felt right at home
so true, i enjoy the journey of progression in this game
I’m kinda ashamed but when I started I couldn’t figure out how to make food
Another random tip. Take full advantage of your starting area. Full time growing period? Farm till you drop "don't survive of hunting only for like three years"
Console player here from the future tu say thank you
Best animals are
1. Fox
2. Fox
3. Foxgod Editor-
4. Fox
5. Fox..
Truth is, it's all foxes.
No how about rocks
foxes are beautiful :)
@@kitsune6865 so are rocks
@@frzzzzz lol
@@kitsune6865 hey have you seen some rocks
I didnt knew what to do with the first raider so when i beat him i accidentally ordered one of my pawns to shoot him to dead while in the floor and then i left him there like a week, they didnt like to see a corpse too much
Exactly, and it also turns out that involuntary cannibalism creates some mental issues
So i saw a couple thrumbos in my first colony and thought that itd be cool if i could tame them. It wouldn't let me tame them so i decided i would settle for killing them and getting whatever i could out of them. I sent all 3 of my people at it with the starting guns / knife and all of my colonists proceeded to get absolutely destroyed. Knowing not to fuck with a thrumbo wouldve been nice. I'm glad i watched this video
4:00 My 2nd game ever was going pretty well,
until a cluster of robots with a mortar landed next to my base and a two week fallout began raining down over the land, killing every food source and making it impossible to survive a trip to snipe down the mortar.
Edit: I laughed as I watched it all burn, as people descended into violent madness due to starvation.
