- Here's an introduction from initial research to your first nuclear reactor on the rim.
Mods seen in the video:
Rimatomics (obviously)
Stack XXL
ResearchPal
Extended Prosthetics and Organ Engineering (EPOE)
Alpha Animals
[WD] Expanded floors
[WD] Reinforced Doors
More linkables (workbench cabinets)
Invisible conduits
Vanilla furniture expanded:
CORE
Power
Concrete Walls
Utility Columns
There are more but those are the main ones visible in the video. Happy to answer any questions in the comments. Sorry if the video is a bit haphazard, I tried to get through it as fast as possible and I've cringed at my humour.
Interesting fact...SCRAM stands for Single Control Rod Axe Man. It goes back to the first US reactor which had a single control rod suspended by a rope and pulley. The rod was moved up and down via the rope and if something went horribly wrong, a researcher was to grab a nearby axe, chop the rope and drop the control rod into the reactor to shut it down. No joke.
This is, unfortunately, a myth
for once, a tutorial over 2 minutes that actually felt worth my time
Aw! Thanks mate, brightened my day
- Great tutorial of the basics
- Good humour and soothing voice
- Compliments the modder and suggests other useful mods
- Gives tips and insight about the mod mechanics
This is actually the best Rimworld mod tutorial video I have come across.
Thank you so much!
Seriously, so many tutorials for this mod skip over important details.
Can we all just appreciate how smooth that text tracking is at 3:38 thanks
Brother that was my first time trying that so I can't tell you how much that means to me 😁

My dude, I have struggled so bad trying to understand how to use Rimatomics. Watched another video that spent more time being clever with editing than explaining how to ACTUALLY use the mod.
You sir, did me a solid and I thank you.
More than happy that I could help mate, glad you enjoyed it
Engaging, mild comedy and also very straight to the point, really great, even now
thank you so much i was scratching my head for a good few hours tying to work out why they where not finishing rector a not realizing i had turned it off so they could not work on it your a legend
My man just created one of the best and most enjoyable Rimworld tutorials, refused to elaborate and left 😆
Why does this man only have 190 subs bro. more rimworld videos like this and he will blow up in no time
i love this guide and the energy you emit
Loved the video! Def can't wait to blow up my base because of my stupidity or how randy finds his ways to absolutely block me from saving any failures that occur, but dang I'd love watching more content from you! :)
Man I really needed that before I blow up my base. Would love a second one for the big reactor and perhaps the weapons/turrets.
19:34 "i'm extremely funny"
You are. In fact pretty good on your comidic timing.
Really would love to see more Rimworld stuff from yah!
And on the "I'm not a youtuber" you clearly have a good vibe, would say to just go for it as a fun extra-hobbie
Hey mate, just wanted to say thanks for such a thoughtful comment. It's been a good start to the day.
I'll probably make some more videos eventually, maybe I'll find something in Valheim I can narrate.
@@satafly2917 I imagine Valheim, or even Bannerlord could make for good sources for your style!
Happy that i helped making the start of yah day better ;D
7:15, I just went like "Oh... Shiiiiit... So I didnt need to build a separate room for it huh..."
Lol...
Nice walkthrough, appreciate it!
I appreciate you.
"I'm not a youtuber" You should consider it. You know, as a side gig, just make small channel, doing rimworld mod tutorials. If you have the time. You are really good.
After a long time since this mods existance, someone has finally made a bulk recipe crafting patch for it. Which was the only weakness this mod has.
Thanks, just getting started in RimWorld and this makes a lot of sense
Oh mate, Rimatomics is pretty advanced stuff and quite beyond the introductory stuff.
But props for looking forward and getting into modding early. It will expand your world.
The dev mode joke always gets me🤣
Really well done, shocked you don’t have more subs!
I was really scared of even researching the thing, but thanks to you I'm ready to commit some war crimes
Let's not pretend you ever stopped committing war crimes.
But seriously, you're welcome :)
@@satafly2917 You're right, I meant some more* war crimes. The only problem so far is that I get this really angry messages from this Geneva guy idk why :/
@@ArslanianDithart there's little doubt that the permanently hostile factions are just fronts for the human rights commission
Feel like having a brother teaching me how to play a game.
I wish you would continue doing more videos.
Hope you are doing okay out there!
Since making this video, my youtube notifications have become a once-a-month check-in if I want to feel warm inside. You delivered that today, and I sincerely thank you for it.
I'm doing great mate! I was doing pretty well at the time of filming this, and life has pretty much just gone up since then. I don't have the discipline to keep pumping out videos like other TH-camrs, but I'll drop something if I ever feel the kick. Hope you're doing well yourself
@@satafly2917 I loved your content the moment I watched it.
I would love to see more Rimworld contents from you too! I started playing the game a few weeks ago and I absolutely loved it.
I hope all for the best and God bless you pal!
_"3.6 Roentgen, not great, not terrible"_
Great video man! I can definitely see you with tons and tons of subs
"I wouldn't blame you if you clicked off because the mod walks you through it" Well yes, but doesn't have insight and humor.
Radiators do have one other advantage, they can be built indoors, meaning they work well for overhead mountain bases. Sometimes you could use water cooling for this, but not easily.
While true, this strategy absolutely necessitates a bait room for infestations. You don't want your cooling system to get destroyed by a huge hive. Water does work well if you pick the right cell - I've picked mountainous river cells to set up in with one catastrophic result. For these reasons (and the ones mentioned in the video), I don't recommend using radiators unless you have chosen a cell that restricts the better options.
As always though: it's your game. You have every right to play it however you want, including unnecessary difficulty. Thanks for watching by the way :)
@@satafly2917 You 'could' theoretically lower the radiator room to ~
My research reactor actually exploded during that first "high risk" research step today! Luckily it wasn't destroyed, and the fire wasn't too bad :)
I really love your humour!!!
I saw this to get extra info after I made my first nuclear reactor, in a mountain. Then I saw how vulnerable it is against insects. Guess all I can do is pray and act quickly if an infestation occurs in that area.
honestly i got this mod only to hiroshima tribals
Dude I really enjoyed the video! Keep up the good work!
Nice
I appreciate the tutorial, very nice. I have actually had the research reactor go into a 'catastrophic breakdown', it started sparking and radiation came off it, it's durability rapidly decreased and it exploded before I had a chance to switch off power to it. Still only a small explosion, but annoying because you have to rebuild it.
Glad you liked it mate, thanks for letting me know!
At the time of filming this video, it looked like the code had a randomiser which picked between a bunch of options - none of which were actually dangerous. It wouldn't surprise me if DubWise has added more to the mod in the last ~16 months.
I'm thinking of picking Rimworld up again soon so I might make some more vids. Thanks again
@@satafly2917 Makes sense. Keep up the good work, you'll do great!
Thanks mate, great walkthrough. Made me laugh a few times as well
The worst thing that has happened to me when doing research with the reactor is that it permanently blinded the researchers.
7:26. I literally just came here to check if I should have done the same - I too built my first research reactor many eons away under a mountain. D'oh.
It's the only sensible thing to do when you read "nuclear...catastrophic failures"
Amazing guide!
Very well done tutorial, thanks!
Hello! This helped a lot. Any chance we can see another Rimatomics video?
Definitely! What would you like to see? Weapons? Placement tips?
@@satafly2917 mostly placement tips, or maybe how you combine this with another mods usefully c:
@@cancerdancer9273 works well with rimfeller
Consider making more video's man (with keanu ofcourse) it was pretty good
I have over 70 mods on my shitty little victus computer and it takes 10 mins to load the game so thank you for the research
such insight
"You better have ResearchPal if you're using more than three mods."
Me, with over two hundred mods and not one of them is ResearchPal: :(
What a pity you are not a TH-camr, mate. Could have been quite a nice one (:
Idk if its just me but your voice reminds me of moistcritical... oh yeah also great vid helped a lot
I'll take that as a compliment! Charlie's a good boy.
Glad you enjoyed it mate
Thanks for a tutorial!
Can you do a tutorial on how to make a warhead and the use of different defense weapons?
I was going to ages ago and didn't get around to it before I gave Rimworld a break. But I'll probably get back to it soon, been feeling like jumping back on the rim.
@@satafly2917 you have no idea how helpful your video has been. No one has posted any videos about setting up nuclear war heads or the weapons😂. You'll get views
Does the water cooler works with just tiny ponds/ non river water sources?
It's been awhile since I played, but from memory there is a minimum water requirement that most ponds won't satisfy.
@@satafly2917 ah I see
gj mate :)
*ReasearchPAL is required *
Me: ok installs
me seconds later: WTF i cant find shit now Uninstalls
location: Australia
so this is what they're doing
I cant place my fuel, all it says is ' No fuel assembly available'
Hey mate, are you still having this problem?
I noticed it would happen sometimes, usually when there was only one fuel rod available to haul and it was prioritised by someone else. Try pausing the game, clicking the fuel rods and disallowing them; unpause the game and let it play for one second, then repause; select your nuclear-assigned pawn and order them to haul the fuel rod directly.
They should haul the fuel rod to storage, then immediately pick it back up and begin loading the reactor. Once that happens, in my experience at least, things start to work a bit more normally.
did he make a other video about plutonium production and nuclear weapon ?
Always had this mod in my modlist but never got into it cause "chernobyl bad", this mod has so much more shit in it than I originally thought.
I know I'm a year late but make some more rimworld content :)
I really should hey
I definitely enjoyed this a lot. I know the last sentence in this video is "I'm not a youtuber" but thos was very entertaining and informative, please more. :D
othere pep: wow you is the best player
me: nah he nuke his own base
18:47 WHAT HOW THAT GUY DONT PICKED UP RADIATION ROLDING A NUCLEAR FUEL ROD!!??
tell me pleaswer
Fuel rods (Rimworld and real life) aren't really radioactive until they've been excited with neutrons in a reactor. They're primed for a chain reaction but until they're inserted, they're harmless.
Once they've been activated though, they will react for millions of years. So they're dangerous to handle once they've been injected (again, for both Rimworld and real life)
10:07 Don't do drugs?, Teetotaler makes it that she won't take any drugs.
lmaooo i was thinking the same thing
if theres no RBMK reactor i will be dissapointed
i still dont understand how tf things work. i built a reactor but it is empty with just some tools laying around. i tried going through a tutorial on youtube, but the guy there speaks at the speed of light and in each frame his entire build is like 3 times bigger than before.
I do wish I knew a bit more about what 'auto-throttle' does. Does it just move your consumption up or down by 5000w? Does it automatically reduce the power to keep it from going above that? I've messed around with it some and I'm still not _entirely_ sure what that's all about.
How do you get plutonium? It doesn't seem to let me make it. Do your fuel rods need to be decayed to a certain level?
She "Shit cooler" is an option to use when no other option is awailable.
The tower needs to be placed outdoors, and water cooler needs to be placed on water.
Ice sheet map would probably favour cooling towers and it has plenty of outdoors.
Dense Mountain map however migh not be as generous. Most likely you will end up with your tower being outside your main defences, and thus voulnerable to raids. And you don't want to lose your rector cooling in the middle of the raid. So using those bad coolers that can be better defended is your option.
And there is a concept of powering your SOS ship with rimatomics reactor. There is not too many options for cooling with water or outdoors there as well.
You can use cooling towers in Save Our Ship 2 by placing 4 large hardpoints in a square formation. That is exact same footprint as a cooling tower and it counts as outside, but still attached to the ship.
@@satafly2917 Well... While technically this might be true (didn't try it) to me this sounds like a nonrealistic exploit based on mods not taking each other into account.
Basicallu outside the ship os not "Outdoors". It is "Vacuum", and same as SOS heatsinks are not able to disperse heat while being in vacuum, I see no way how a cooling tower should be able to.
@@pavelZhd the cooling towers simply require "unroofed" hence it working.
As for whether they'd actually work: cooling towers use evaporative cooling via steam. Which means if you supplied the water then they'd work anywhere, even in a vacuum (although they would probably need to be modified).
Although that water demand is what makes the rimatomics towers unrealistic, because they absolutely need a body of water to function. That said, Dubwise made the right choice in his design, because game mechanics are more important than realism imo
@@satafly2917
Point one - I do aggree that sound game mechanics should come before realism in any game / mod design. So no arguing with Dubwise here.
Point two - I do not have categorical objection to cooling towers actually working with SOS. After all if I find it not to my taste, I can just never build them.
This being said - point 3. Even though evaporation technically works in vacuum, I still doubt that it would work as cooling in vacuum. The thing is, to act as cooling, matter should require energy to transit from liquid to gaseous state. This way it will capture energy from heat to enact this transfer. In low pressure, evaporation does not require much energy. So the only way you can get rid of heat here is to do basically what SOS emergency heat dumps do - vent a lot of material outside. And if you do this, you are prone to quickly running out of material to dump.
((PS: And actually evaporation is not the only thing at work in the cooling tower. Basically once evaporated, the wator will mix with the air, transfering heat into the air. Doing this some water turns back into liquid and rains back to be used for cooling again. Hot air then rises out of the top of the tower, and through the gaps at the bottom fresh air is sucked it. This is why you need a tower with this shape to act as cooling tower.))
When the basic guide is 30 minutes long 😭😭
Rimatomics is so complex.
Wow, great detailed walkthrough. Do you use bad hygiene or rimefeller by dubs as well? Would be great to see videos about those.
I use rimefeller but I took a break from Rimworld for a bit after getting into Save Our Ship 2.
I'll probably get back into it and make videos on them as well once semester is over. Until then it's study time, unfortunately. I'm glad you liked the video mate!
More rimworld videos :D any type
i can deliver on my channel
Thanks man!
i dont like research pal because i find it hard to find specific mod research whilst in vannila there are tabs for them
is there a way to use rimatomics without a water source?
Yeah ofc! You only need a water source to use the water cooling system. You don't need it for the cooling tower or radiator.
Which, strictly speaking, isn't realistic at all. But it's a good gameplay mechanic that allows players more versatility in map choice when using the mod.
This helpful and simple. Even me ape know how rod work now. Is good. Me good, You sub. No rhyme, but tried.
hello i resarc the liberator but how can ı make plutonium?
You'll need to make a fuel refinery and insert spent fuel rods into it.
The advanced reactors churn through fuel much faster and (from memory) generate rods with a much better plutonium yield.
Researchpal bad. Adds load time to your game. Better to use dubs mint menu’s research window. Doesn’t need to use load time to organize the mod menu and it allows you to sort and search easily.
...I hate nuclear energy. Well trying to learn and understand it and plan it out, actual nuclear energy is great who doesn't want 100K volts shooting through to colony when you have 2 dozen mech chargers and a bio-sculptor for every colonist.
Insect + pretty much anything = death
Yeeeeet
me watching the video with the soviet anthem as the music: лол лол хорошее видео
good tutorial, you should be a TH-camr
bro how to pass from research and train step ?
humor!
NICE
bro im the 1 thousandth like
Holy shit I can't believe this video has done so well. The Rimworld community is ludicrous. Enjoy the nukes brother
Insufferable.
Thank you
1:48 you would shudder in horror at my research tab.
7:29 I didn't know anything about the research reactor and made a weird half open reactor vault for it with it's own dedicated research benches. lol
28:50 I WILL GET SULFURASSSSSS
5:45 Real.
