Or you can allow them to eat your crops, so you don't get animal starvation. A starving boomalope will only produce half the chemfuel (actually, the same amount but in twice the time). Not to mention the near 100% risk of miscarriage if pregnant. But yeah, maybe keep them away from the healroot, cotton and devilstrand.
@@morphman86 how about they EAT GRASS outside, I can understand if ur colony lives in arctic and there is no grass but my animals eat grass outside and I never saw one of them starve.
@@he3004 3 months since that comment and can't be arsed to rewatch the video to see the circumstances, but in most cases you won't have your boomalopes roaming free across the map. You'll have them confined to a certain area, to prevent them from being killed by raiders, stray bullets and predators. Grass is kinda limited, doesn't give nearly as much fill as proper food. The area they'll roam will be barren within a quadrum and it takes a year for it to regrow.
@@morphman86 sorry if my comment bothered you that much, you may be right if the colony has dozens of animals, in my case I have two animals who eat grass and I dont really restrict them unless a raid happens never actually saw them starving
You know in the 1500+ hours I have on rimworld didn't know about the shield belts and emps. Thank you for teaching me something new about one of my favourite games
Glad I could help! Even though I knew about the belts for a while I don't think I've ever actually used it. I never remember to use EMPs when I need to :D
I learned that today just by trial and error when I was using EMP shells and a mortar to stun some mechanoids and the EMP turned off my melee dudes' shield belts too. Luckily they didn't need them with the enemies stunned.
Some other tip. Lets call it extreme optimization tips 1: Have all bedrooms connect to communal rooms with vents to middle room. I Usually have 7 rooms flanking one larger communal room. Be it a workshop, or diner/rec room 2: For a typical tempered climate i use 3 heaters and 2 coolers for every communal room to heat and cool them. Double insulate the outer wall. Put a high priority stockpile of wood near the heaters. This can heat/cool 7 small rooms and one large with only 3 heaters or 2 coolers. If its extreem heat or cold, or solar flair, just build a fire or two. This will heat all rooms. 4 of those units can be built together, with 4 communal rooms and 28 smaller rooms. 3: But the heaters and coolers on separate grid with swiches. This allow the heaters to be put on 26 degree while the coolers can be put on 19, the bedroom temperature will drift to about 22-23C. This have the added benefit of making so the heaters con´t break during summer, and the coolers don´t break during winter. Halfing the use of component. It also reduce power consumption by 10%. Not much, but every bit helps. 4: Stagger the heaters. Have one heater at 23, one at 24 and one at 25 (if you use Fahrenheit use dubble degree gaps), and put the coolers on 19 and 21 degrees. Now, when stagnering, its very important to have swiches, or they will fight each other. Why so warm/cold. Well this give you a few extra degree of margin if there is a power cut. 5: Use multiple power grids. I use a system like this. A: "Always on" grid. With 3-4 batteries, and 2-3 power generator to be swich on. This is the grid the heaters/coolers are conected to. All the lamps and critical or low power consuming stuff. Like TV. B: "Gun turret grid". This really just need one solar panel, its also do with just one battery. But i usualy have one at 1/4 to the end of the killbox. In case of a power cable be taken out all turrets will still work. C: "Working day power": Only one battery, and how ever many solarpannels it needs. A hour or so after nightfall, all machines power of automatically. D: Grow light grid. One battery and 4 solar panels for every 2 grow lights. 6: Don´t use Windturbines. They are pretty much useless in practical terms. With solarpanels you will get a fix amouont of energy every day. You know how much you get every day, so you know how much you will need to store every night: 7: Put your kitchen next to a fertil soil spott. Try to grew on fertail soil as much as possible. Try to avoid hydroponics, they use a lot of power during nights. If there are some perfect spot around a sunlamp to put hydropinics, putting down a few is okay, but don´t run on hydroponcs alone. Running on fertil soil is much more power and component efficient. Put sunlamp and heater+cooler on a separate grid. Set the heater to 12C and the cooler to 28C. The battery will run out during night, but it don´t matter, just a hour before the sunlamps power on, the heater will heat the temperature up to 12C making the plants gain full grew speed. The Sunlamp might power of a hour earlier in winter, but this don´t mater much. You got year round growing for the price of of a few hundred steel and a few components 8: Hay and hens are excellent. Don´t feed the hens with anything else then hay (if it not a emergency). Put the hens in the same room as the sunlamp and the hey. But put there zoon right untill the sunlamp diameter, but not onto it. Put the Hay stockpile right next to the zone. This will minmixing carying distance. While cows technically is more efficient, hens use less Labour. The Hay->Hen-> egg cycle is almost as efficient as growing rice or corn. Making fine meals as cheap as simple once. 9: Neutriance past suspender is really large, but it also insulate Put it in a wall that need thick insluation anyway (like between the fridge and the kitchen out to the living space). This make the nutriance paste dispencer double up as wall Reducing the wasted space to just 2 squares. 10: Dogs and kibble and pemican. Use dogs for hauling. It really cuts down on the hauling needs. Feed them Hay+Insect kibble, or if there is no insect egg/meat+rice pemacin. Because pemacin is 50% more efficent than kibble... But hay/insect meat is really cheap. Make sure that the dogs don´t get into the hen pen, then they will eat the eggs.. also, make sure they don´t go into the fridge. Dogs don´t eat rice/corn. So sort the every area in the fridge and kitchen to have only rice/corn or meat or meals, Then make sure that the dogs only are accessible tot he rice/corn tiles. Then they will carry, but not eat. 11: Have two stoves, one electric and one wood. Set the electric to higher number than the wood one (say 20 fine meals on the electric and 10 on the wood). This way they will primarily use the electric once and just fall back on the wood one when there is a power cut or other issues. With this set up 1 cook can pretty much supply a collony of about 10 people and 10 dogs and 20 hens with food from root to finished meal with not much issues.. Of cause, having a second cook always recommended.
Imagine being in someone's home locked up for a few months and you become quite close to one of the people only to executed and made into kibble and hats

I still have yet to play to the point of getting armor and all that, but I'll make sure to remember that. And thank you so much for including the farming tips! Makes deforesting a lot easier.
Nice tips, i might add, sometimes when building something or mining and your colonists will go back and forth you can forbid the doors and they will do all the jobs in that room, build a little room for your shells next to the mortars without any eletric wires, and instead of making the colonists toggle switches you can build one wire off grid next to the scanner or turrets so you can switch them off by pressing reconnect
Great video, but the tip about looking in a specific stockpile for ingredients is wrong. It's acctually where they look for how many meals you have in storage to see how many needs to be made.
great video. i ve been playing rimworld for a couple of years now but still didnt know most of the stuff covered in this video. thanks alot. great work. keep it up!
is this for 1.0? i just bought the game like a week ago but how do u only have one kill box area? i get raids from all 4 sides and sometimes the raiders will try to break in through the wall on other side instead of coming to the open kill box side.
It is for 1.0. Raiders will adapt to your killbox, send sappers that will go through walls and try to siege you from afar. Sometimes they will even drop right into your base from the space. Basically a killbox isn't a sure thing, a lot of the times you'll have to fight them in your bedrooms or go assault them out there in the open. You need to adapt to each situation. It used to be that every raider would just go for a killbox in the past, but over the years devs tried to hard to destroy the killbox tactics because it made the game more boring. Thusly we now have a ton of different types of raiders.
Are you sure levels of lighting actually affects a pawn’s work speed? I’ve never heard of this, and based on some googling I’m getting mixed responses about whether or not it has an effect.
Kokoplays MB So I actually did try some experimenting. Turns out it’s true: work speed for most tasks AND walking are both affected by levels of light. You can actually find the exact values by clicking on the little “i” on the bottom left when you select a colonist. If you scroll towards the bottom, you’ll see a line that says “global work speed” which will be 80% (as opposed to 100%) if your pawn is in complete darkness as opposed to being brightly lit. You can look at specific tasks like cooking and constructing and speeds for all of them, too. Great video-I’ve been playing Rimworld for a while and never knew that, thanks!
@@KokoplaysMB yea i was hoping i could maybe find a lets play video from back then featuring that base in hopes of finding the seed. So far no luck. But thanks mate, good video btw
I noticed that at this stage in your colony you still don’t have temperature controlled buildings. At what stage do you prioritize this? I find myself sinking a lot of resources into making rooms optimal temp well before I have geothermal generators
Depends on the biome, but it's one of those things I build when I either hit a cold snap or heat wave and I see people start having issues. Even then I mostly just fix the bedrooms/barracks and the main area where people spend the most time. That being said once I'm out of the early game I'll usually redesign my base and optimize temperature across the board.
I got a good one, i just remembered yesterday and it worked like a charm. Weaken, or outright wipe out enemy bases and colonies with an animal pulser. Get a pulser, invade a base, dig out a little bunker for yourself and your people, hide inside and use it. Then watch... oh my god... the carnage.... If its pirates, bonus points for boomalopes. If its tribals, should have checled for boomalopes and boomrats dude, 😕 have fun with the ashes. Lol
@@KokoplaysMB She was lucky to get in! Initially she was rejected for not having a realistic enough name (uhhh...) but then we talked directly with the developer who squeezed her in for me. ^_^ Hopefully she's been helpful in your plays! :D
Here’s a question I can’t find an answer to, and maybe I’ve missed it across your videos… I know lighting makes pawns work slower, move slower etc…. How does it affect shooting? When in the dark, pawns can’t see anything, so they have a lower chance to hit the shot. What about pawns being in well lit area, shooting at targets that are in a dark area? Are your pawns at the disadvantage that they can’t see the enemies in the dark, where the enemies are able to see the pawns who are in a well lit area? Or the other way around?
When you're aiming at someone, with your pawn selected hover over the enemy. A tooltip will pop up in a sec telling you your chance to hit and what affects it.
Ok, what am I missing? I just got done watching your 3 videos of 10 tips for beginner, intermediate and advanced and saw no mention of the apparently glorious nutrient paste dispenser which is so good and bad and good, it deserves a video series of it's own. When I started playing, I cooked because campfires. Later on, I started using it because it's easy. Eventually, I learned about mood and thought "you know, that -4 penalty for eating dog food is pretty bad.." so I went to cooked food and learned about dirty cooking environments and adapted to have my butcher table separate, locked my kitchen so no one came in or out when cooking, all the tricks to make cooking viable so I could get that sweet ate a fine meal small bonus with a minimal risk of food poisoning. That should sound pretty dam familiar, but what you're forgetting is all the down sides and all the up sides of the nutrient paste dispenser, and I'm convinced the pros (any of them) outweigh the cons (all of them). Cons: 1. It is ugly and large. This one is the only one that matters, and only to self proclaimed ADD assholes who get all freaked out over lack of symmetry. I call this a pro, but we need at least one con I can't prove is completely irrelevant. 2. It is a powered on demand feeder which can be disabled by many types of power problems. See #5 for why this doesn't matter. 3. A -4 mood debuff that is permanent as long as you use this. You could argue it's -8 because you don't have the +4 ate a fine meal buff. See #6 for why this doesn't matter. Pros: 1. (might be patched). To hell with fridges. Stuff in the hopper doesn't rot. Each dispenser can have 11 hoppers for storage. 2. You can grow significantly less food since it takes (7 or 8, forgot which) ingredients for a meal, not 10, so less pawns farming, or more production plants being farmed. (edit, it's only 6 food per meal). 3. No food poisoning, ever. 4. It saves space by providing an early game corpse disposal (no graves). This does give the mood debuff for cannibalism, so only allow storage of human meat to the prisoner's nutrient paste machine. Unruly prisoners are a great source of all sorts of experience, so this could be a few stacked pros. 5. You could argue this is a con, but it's not. Stockpiling nutrient past meals is a tedious manual job, so make pemmican for the times when the power is out. This kills #2 con, and as an added benefit, has you have plenty off great food to take on time sensitive caravans. If an event has something you want, you've got plenty of food for the trip to start right now. Making pemmican is cooking skill so's butchering, so you'll get more harvest from your human leather than if you didn't make pemmican and only relied on butchering for cooking skill. 6. You can get started on art much earlier and that -4 ate dog food debuff will be countered, smashed, tac nuked, and otherwise obliterated by the beautiful environment from the statues you placed by the dog food dispenser and reinforced by more statues where they eat, sleep and work. Even your pacifist life lover who is terrified of corpses will be fine butchering people all day every day if you put a decent statue in the slaughterhouse. As long as the green numbers are bigger, you can have a lot of red numbers. 7. As your colony grows in size, the work time savings increase giving you basically 2 free pawns by the time your colony has 14 members, but one of them should be an artist, so maybe only 1 free? I'm sure I'm missing stuff, but 6 solid pros and one possible vs 0 cons that matter at all to anyone except for those special few who should go hug a block of ballistics gel to save it from an early grave...
now days i just strap on a shield belt and melee the boomalopes and boomrats to death with one person, no damage, and as for the fires a 2-3 row fire break of concrete tiles is definitely the way to go!
Czesnek i know im late but I recently started not building things touching each other if I can help it, leaving paths in between rooms for space to expand
1:321:52 I'm quite new in the game, but I'm pretty sure the sandbag/wall stop percentage is for missed shots (what the deflection would do), not for the actual shot to hit. Btw, the deflection mechanism is fucked up!
Absolutely enjoyed the tips and trick video. I learned something new. Have you thought of a video for caravans? Keep up the great work I enjoy your rimworld content.
Thank you! Might be a good idea to tackle caravans, the reason why I didn't include any world traveling tips is due to the fact I personally don't enjoy that aspect of the game and thusly don't play with it too much.
Defenses change very much depending on if and what kind of mods you're running. Killboxes still work in vanilla even though sappers don't like them. The way the game is there is no right answer when you're setting up your defenses. I usually tend to wing it at start then slowly build a killbox. I've even mostly stopped using turrets especially in modded games.If you want some examples go through my let's plays, pick one of the last episodes in the series and you should see different defense setups that should give you some ideas.
To prevent riots and escapes you can replace prisoners legs with pegs then removing the pegs, don't do this with prisoner you want to recruit unless you have bionics. You don't get the mood debuff because it's seen as a positive operation
i put turrets like this close by but one blew up after getting attacked and started a chain reaction and everything blew up. i think it blew up everything within 5-6 space area.
If you put simple turrets 3 tiles apart they're not gonna blow each other up. Also you can stack them up closer together if you put a wall between them as that will prevent the explosion to reaching the other turret. Just don't make the walls out of weak materials like wood. Granite or plasteel works best in vanilla.
When did that thing revealing ores added in game I never seen that thing, sure I never researched exactly all tech in game but I remember building a ship.
Did you know that stone chunks offer 50% cover while sandbags offer 57%? (Yea better remove that trash from your defences) Also this comes extreamly handy whenever you attack enemy bases or outposts, and its qite the solution to sandbags/barricades.
Boomalope hunting in dry weather is riskier because of the fire but you can actually pull them out of the fire if you haul them quick enough, should you be desperate enough.
i figured out the radar thing by accident a few moments after turning on the silly thing for the first time. it drank so much of my power i figured oh fuck this lol -opens planning tool-
Uh, I never got over 2 in game years (very new player), but isn't this base design extremely inefficient? I mean three tiles wide corridors, no shared walls, bedrooms are imho better when placed together for shared heating, dining room should imho share wall with freezer to allow food dispenser installation and I placed butcher table inside the "interlock" room and allowed storing fresh animal corpses in the freezer so they don't rot on sun. I build my base like this imgur.com/N3IVF6Q (2nd attempt, cassandra classic on 2nd easiest difficulty)
This base was build just a showcase for the tips, it didn't have any efficiency in mind. I've build all kinds of different bases playing on the highest difficulty, bases inside a mountain, bases without walls, basses spread over the whole map. It's a singleplayer, you don't need to minmax the game is not that difficult. And after a while you realize a good looking base matters more than an efficient base.
@@KokoplaysMB Well, truth is that major inefficiencies in the later game are deep milling, refueling generators and training of hauling animals across whole map, when components and steel are depleted and need for (advanced) components increases.
I actually expected some maths and actually advanced stuff, but all i have is things that u learn in the first 20h... I mean, how you call 'advanced tip' to something like 'ey, theres this option here to make the colonist look in this stockpile'... The only thing i would consider an actual tip is the one to harvest the ambrosía, but man, call that' advanced'.. i dont know x) Nice video anyway. Im sure youll help many people. I just felt kinda dissapointed :(
Who can afford to place rock chunks around like that? I am constantly playing games where I use all of the chunks on the map and many more just to build walls and traps.
@@KokoplaysMB Not at all - I play on mountains all the time - playing on it right now in Tundra as a matter of fact. Between my walls and traps, I use every single chunk on the board - and then some.
That's pretty impressive. Are you just playing vanilla or using mods as well? I'd recommend a quarry mod if you're having issues, it will provide you with plenty chunks and other stuff as well.
@@KokoplaysMB I use a few mods in terms of labor management and whatnot... Another option is using the deep drills after the resource in question is exhausted. Even so, I've never been in a position where I had rock chunks lying around to serve as obstacles, etc. They're actually rather precious.
You know what? Kudos to you my friend, in all the years I've been playing this game and watching others play, you're the first person I met that doesn't have hundreds of extra chunks lying around. You must have a very efficient crafting setup. I'm impressed.
@@KokoplaysMB that's a stupid point, some people don't play on base builder yknow and slot of the time it's not an option since Lance's have a smaller charge time compared to a sniper
@@KokoplaysMBA couple good tips I would recommend over most of these ones is to never build floors , and that traits that increase crafting times eg slothful are often decent traits
Well if you have everything set up properly and they don't wanna haul rice then it might be a mod interfering with something. In that case you'll have to go check the latest mods you added and disable them one at a time to see where the problem is.
Sorry but i dislike the long amounts of explaining that you do on stuff, i know you need it to reach ten minutes. But if you ever make a video that has more tips, Then Just say the tip and Not any of the extra stuff. And hopefully it will be ten minutes
I didn't watch the vid Tips : always have atleast 1 melee Melee/brawler Cam tank damage and his/her can equip shield belt Another tips : never use smoke belt It suck
Yep. Things you learn in the first 20h of gameplay. I actually expected some maths and advanced stuff, not a guy telling me theres an option to choose a specific stockpile for the orders...
wearing the hat of a dead man is bad
the hat is tainted
wearing a dead man as a hat
no problem^^
You gotta have your priorities straight.
Yes... Ummmm… exactly.
You can disallow animal areas over crops to prevent them from eating your harvest like in 4:40
Or you can allow them to eat your crops, so you don't get animal starvation. A starving boomalope will only produce half the chemfuel (actually, the same amount but in twice the time). Not to mention the near 100% risk of miscarriage if pregnant.

Glad I could help.
Some other tip. Lets call it extreme optimization tips
1: Have all bedrooms connect to communal rooms with vents to middle room. I Usually have 7 rooms flanking one larger communal room. Be it a workshop, or diner/rec room
2: For a typical tempered climate i use 3 heaters and 2 coolers for every communal room to heat and cool them. Double insulate the outer wall. Put a high priority stockpile of wood near the heaters. This can heat/cool 7 small rooms and one large with only 3 heaters or 2 coolers. If its extreem heat or cold, or solar flair, just build a fire or two. This will heat all rooms. 4 of those units can be built together, with 4 communal rooms and 28 smaller rooms.
3: But the heaters and coolers on separate grid with swiches. This allow the heaters to be put on 26 degree while the coolers can be put on 19, the bedroom temperature will drift to about 22-23C. This have the added benefit of making so the heaters con´t break during summer, and the coolers don´t break during winter. Halfing the use of component. It also reduce power consumption by 10%.

is this for 1.0? i just bought the game like a week ago but how do u only have one kill box area? i get raids from all 4 sides and sometimes the raiders will try to break in through the wall on other side instead of coming to the open kill box side.
It is for 1.0. Raiders will adapt to your killbox, send sappers that will go through walls and try to siege you from afar. Sometimes they will even drop right into your base from the space. Basically a killbox isn't a sure thing, a lot of the times you'll have to fight them in your bedrooms or go assault them out there in the open. You need to adapt to each situation.
It used to be that every raider would just go for a killbox in the past, but over the years devs tried to hard to destroy the killbox tactics because it made the game more boring. Thusly we now have a ton of different types of raiders.
if the killbox was foolproof, then it would be boring. Adapt.
Are you sure levels of lighting actually affects a pawn’s work speed? I’ve never heard of this, and based on some googling I’m getting mixed responses about whether or not it has an effect.
Well if you're not sure the best thing you can do is some experimenting.
it definitely does
Kokoplays MB So I actually did try some experimenting. Turns out it’s true: work speed for most tasks AND walking are both affected by levels of light. You can actually find the exact values by clicking on the little “i” on the bottom left when you select a colonist. If you scroll towards the bottom, you’ll see a line that says “global work speed” which will be 80% (as opposed to 100%) if your pawn is in complete darkness as opposed to being brightly lit. You can look at specific tasks like cooking and constructing and speeds for all of them, too.
Great video-I’ve been playing Rimworld for a while and never knew that, thanks!
Thanks for the detailed investigation buddy, the passion RimWorld inspires in us to go dig for such minuscule details show what a great game it is!
Kokoplays MB You’re absolutely right :)
I love that base you built at 4:20. Im curious do you have a seed for that world and tile location. Kinda wanna try it
I'm sorry, it's been over 2 years since I made these videos.
@@KokoplaysMB yea i was hoping i could maybe find a lets play video from back then featuring that base in hopes of finding the seed. So far no luck. But thanks mate, good video btw
I noticed that at this stage in your colony you still don’t have temperature controlled buildings. At what stage do you prioritize this? I find myself sinking a lot of resources into making rooms optimal temp well before I have geothermal generators
Depends on the biome, but it's one of those things I build when I either hit a cold snap or heat wave and I see people start having issues. Even then I mostly just fix the bedrooms/barracks and the main area where people spend the most time.
That being said once I'm out of the early game I'll usually redesign my base and optimize temperature across the board.
I got a good one, i just remembered yesterday and it worked like a charm.
Weaken, or outright wipe out enemy bases and colonies with an animal pulser.
Get a pulser, invade a base, dig out a little bunker for yourself and your people, hide inside and use it.
Then watch... oh my god... the carnage....
If its pirates, bonus points for boomalopes.
If its tribals, should have checled for boomalopes and boomrats dude, 😕 have fun with the ashes. Lol
Lumi! That's my character :D I'm delighted to have made an appearance in your video. ^_^
Oh hello there! I've seen plenty Lumi's over the years, good to meet you at last!
@@KokoplaysMB She was lucky to get in! Initially she was rejected for not having a realistic enough name (uhhh...) but then we talked directly with the developer who squeezed her in for me. ^_^ Hopefully she's been helpful in your plays! :D

Here’s a question I can’t find an answer to, and maybe I’ve missed it across your videos… I know lighting makes pawns work slower, move slower etc….
How does it affect shooting? When in the dark, pawns can’t see anything, so they have a lower chance to hit the shot. What about pawns being in well lit area, shooting at targets that are in a dark area? Are your pawns at the disadvantage that they can’t see the enemies in the dark, where the enemies are able to see the pawns who are in a well lit area? Or the other way around?
When you're aiming at someone, with your pawn selected hover over the enemy. A tooltip will pop up in a sec telling you your chance to hit and what affects it.
When you tame boomalopes, you can also export the chemfuel. They produce it in sufficient quantities that it is quite an income enhancer.
This is true, although I prefer to turn it into shells for my mortars or use it as fuel, but you can certainly make money as well.
Wooden spike traps are my best tip, saved me countless times
Great work over here, very clear, interactive and fun, Keep doing it!, you will be great. Don't led the numbers talk for you.
Thanks buddy, that means a lot to me!
Great tips, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Ok, what am I missing? I just got done watching your 3 videos of 10 tips for beginner, intermediate and advanced and saw no mention of the apparently glorious nutrient paste dispenser which is so good and bad and good, it deserves a video series of it's own.
When I started playing, I cooked because campfires. Later on, I started using it because it's easy. Eventually, I learned about mood and thought "you know, that -4 penalty for eating dog food is pretty bad.." so I went to cooked food and learned about dirty cooking environments and adapted to have my butcher table separate, locked my kitchen so no one came in or out when cooking, all the tricks to make cooking viable so I could get that sweet ate a fine meal small bonus with a minimal risk of food poisoning.
That should sound pretty dam familiar, but what you're forgetting is all the down sides and all the up sides of the nutrient paste dispenser, and I'm convinced the pros (any of them) outweigh the cons (all of them).
Cons:
1. It is ugly and large. This one is the only one that matters, and only to self proclaimed ADD assholes who get all freaked out over lack of symmetry. I call this a pro, but we need at least one con I can't prove is completely irrelevant.
2. It is a powered on demand feeder which can be disabled by many types of power problems. See #5 for why this doesn't matter.
3. A -4 mood debuff that is permanent as long as you use this. You could argue it's -8 because you don't have the +4 ate a fine meal buff. See #6 for why this doesn't matter.
Pros:
1. (might be patched). To hell with fridges. Stuff in the hopper doesn't rot. Each dispenser can have 11 hoppers for storage.
2. You can grow significantly less food since it takes (7 or 8, forgot which) ingredients for a meal, not 10, so less pawns farming, or more production plants being farmed. (edit, it's only 6 food per meal).
3. No food poisoning, ever.
4. It saves space by providing an early game corpse disposal (no graves). This does give the mood debuff for cannibalism, so only allow storage of human meat to the prisoner's nutrient paste machine. Unruly prisoners are a great source of all sorts of experience, so this could be a few stacked pros.
5. You could argue this is a con, but it's not. Stockpiling nutrient past meals is a tedious manual job, so make pemmican for the times when the power is out. This kills #2 con, and as an added benefit, has you have plenty off great food to take on time sensitive caravans. If an event has something you want, you've got plenty of food for the trip to start right now. Making pemmican is cooking skill so's butchering, so you'll get more harvest from your human leather than if you didn't make pemmican and only relied on butchering for cooking skill.
6. You can get started on art much earlier and that -4 ate dog food debuff will be countered, smashed, tac nuked, and otherwise obliterated by the beautiful environment from the statues you placed by the dog food dispenser and reinforced by more statues where they eat, sleep and work. Even your pacifist life lover who is terrified of corpses will be fine butchering people all day every day if you put a decent statue in the slaughterhouse. As long as the green numbers are bigger, you can have a lot of red numbers.
7. As your colony grows in size, the work time savings increase giving you basically 2 free pawns by the time your colony has 14 members, but one of them should be an artist, so maybe only 1 free?
I'm sure I'm missing stuff, but 6 solid pros and one possible vs 0 cons that matter at all to anyone except for those special few who should go hug a block of ballistics gel to save it from an early grave...
Because it's extremely easy setting up an efficient kitchen that cooks you fine or lavish meals.
I'm convinced
@@RivenEnjoyer6897 It's only 6 ingredients per meal, not the 7 or 8 I thought it was.
Skavies "self-proclaimed ADD assholes"
Yeah sorry, you lost me with that one. No need to call me an asshole, asshole.
now days i just strap on a shield belt and melee the boomalopes and boomrats to death with one person, no damage, and as for the fires a 2-3 row fire break of concrete tiles is definitely the way to go!
Go switch that flick, and ore some mine :-)
Exactly!
Some cool tips. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
I like how well organised your colony is. My colony is always looking like a mess. What rules do you follow to create a good looking colony?
Thanks. My colonies are usually a mess for the first 4-5 years. Then we either die or we're strong enough to organize it nicely.
Build in peaceful, when ready, crank up the difficulty.
Czesnek i know im late but I recently started not building things touching each other if I can help it, leaving paths in between rooms for space to expand
8:37 *POTATOES!* ALWAYS POTATOES!
I had no idea about the Boomalope milking and I've been playing for 600 hours. I guess it's time to get me some.
3 Boomalope produce enough for 5 generators but without grazing it's more efficient to male chemfuel from their food source
Damn, Steve's milk fullness was at only 73%.
You're right, should have done it at 69%
"you can always just tame boomalope" RIP fave strat

I'm quite new in the game, but I'm pretty sure the sandbag/wall stop percentage is for missed shots (what the deflection would do), not for the actual shot to hit.
Btw, the deflection mechanism is fucked up!
Absolutely enjoyed the tips and trick video. I learned something new. Have you thought of a video for caravans? Keep up the great work I enjoy your rimworld content.
Thank you! Might be a good idea to tackle caravans, the reason why I didn't include any world traveling tips is due to the fact I personally don't enjoy that aspect of the game and thusly don't play with it too much.
@@KokoplaysMB thanks for responding, I understand. What about a video dedicated to defense? Lord knows I need help in that.
Defenses change very much depending on if and what kind of mods you're running. Killboxes still work in vanilla even though sappers don't like them. The way the game is there is no right answer when you're setting up your defenses. I usually tend to wing it at start then slowly build a killbox. I've even mostly stopped using turrets especially in modded games.If you want some examples go through my let's plays, pick one of the last episodes in the series and you should see different defense setups that should give you some ideas.
Thanks Koko for this video.
Thanks for watching!
You can use the boom cattle as weapons, in a raid restrict their area to a chokepoint and shoot them
I like the way you think!
To prevent riots and escapes you can replace prisoners legs with pegs then removing the pegs, don't do this with prisoner you want to recruit unless you have bionics. You don't get the mood debuff because it's seen as a positive operation
If you are not going to recruit a prisoner, why even prison them in the first place.
Whats the mod for murder slits on walls ??
That would be ED Embrasures
@@KokoplaysMB thank you
i put turrets like this close by but one blew up after getting attacked and started a chain reaction and everything blew up. i think it blew up everything within 5-6 space area.
If you put simple turrets 3 tiles apart they're not gonna blow each other up. Also you can stack them up closer together if you put a wall between them as that will prevent the explosion to reaching the other turret. Just don't make the walls out of weak materials like wood. Granite or plasteel works best in vanilla.
When did that thing revealing ores added in game I never seen that thing, sure I never researched exactly all tech in game but I remember building a ship.
It's been quite a while I believe.
Did you know that stone chunks offer 50% cover while sandbags offer 57%? (Yea better remove that trash from your defences)
Also this comes extreamly handy whenever you attack enemy bases or outposts, and its qite the solution to sandbags/barricades.
Boomalope hunting in dry weather is riskier because of the fire but you can actually pull them out of the fire if you haul them quick enough, should you be desperate enough.
This is true.
i figured out the radar thing by accident a few moments after turning on the silly thing for the first time. it drank so much of my power i figured oh fuck this lol

Awesome!
Thank you!
Uh, I never got over 2 in game years (very new player), but isn't this base design extremely inefficient? I mean three tiles wide corridors, no shared walls, bedrooms are imho better when placed together for shared heating, dining room should imho share wall with freezer to allow food dispenser installation and I placed butcher table inside the "interlock" room and allowed storing fresh animal corpses in the freezer so they don't rot on sun. I build my base like this imgur.com/N3IVF6Q (2nd attempt, cassandra classic on 2nd easiest difficulty)
This base was build just a showcase for the tips, it didn't have any efficiency in mind. I've build all kinds of different bases playing on the highest difficulty, bases inside a mountain, bases without walls, basses spread over the whole map. It's a singleplayer, you don't need to minmax the game is not that difficult. And after a while you realize a good looking base matters more than an efficient base.
@@KokoplaysMB Well, truth is that major inefficiencies in the later game are deep milling, refueling generators and training of hauling animals across whole map, when components and steel are depleted and need for (advanced) components increases.

there is a thing called numbers mod so you know
I know of that mod, but this video is not about mods.
k just letting you know its working now ^_^
Thank you.
I actually expected some maths and actually advanced stuff, but all i have is things that u learn in the first 20h... I mean, how you call 'advanced tip' to something like 'ey, theres this option here to make the colonist look in this stockpile'...
The only thing i would consider an actual tip is the one to harvest the ambrosía, but man, call that' advanced'.. i dont know x)
Nice video anyway. Im sure youll help many people. I just felt kinda dissapointed :(
Who can afford to place rock chunks around like that? I am constantly playing games where I use all of the chunks on the map and many more just to build walls and traps.
I guess If you play on a flat map with no mountains then probably that's not a strategy for you.
@@KokoplaysMB Not at all - I play on mountains all the time - playing on it right now in Tundra as a matter of fact. Between my walls and traps, I use every single chunk on the board - and then some.
That's pretty impressive. Are you just playing vanilla or using mods as well? I'd recommend a quarry mod if you're having issues, it will provide you with plenty chunks and other stuff as well.
@@KokoplaysMB I use a few mods in terms of labor management and whatnot... Another option is using the deep drills after the resource in question is exhausted. Even so, I've never been in a position where I had rock chunks lying around to serve as obstacles, etc. They're actually rather precious.
You know what? Kudos to you my friend, in all the years I've been playing this game and watching others play, you're the first person I met that doesn't have hundreds of extra chunks lying around. You must have a very efficient crafting setup. I'm impressed.
>Awesome advanced tips
>hide behind sandbags
Here's a tip this dummy when you see a lancer run most of the time one shot is enough to kill a flak vest will only make it a rounding error
Are you afraid of lancers son?
@@KokoplaysMB very much so, dusters do nothing against them. If you don't have a good flak best or power armour consider yourself dead
Best defense is a good offense. Kill it before it can even fire a shot.
@@KokoplaysMB that's a stupid point, some people don't play on base builder yknow and slot of the time it's not an option since Lance's have a smaller charge time compared to a sniper
@@KokoplaysMBA couple good tips I would recommend over most of these ones is to never build floors , and that traits that increase crafting times eg slothful are often decent traits
Is milking boomalopes supposed to be an advanced tip ? It's their most obvious purpose.
Im playing since beta 17 and knew all of these wtf
Beta 17 released almost 2 years ago. One can learn a lot in that time.
@@KokoplaysMB Has it been so long... well i guess time flies. Well my bad. hmu if u have tip how to make pawns haul the goddamn rice though
Well if you have everything set up properly and they don't wanna haul rice then it might be a mod interfering with something. In that case you'll have to go check the latest mods you added and disable them one at a time to see where the problem is.
Sorry but i dislike the long amounts of explaining that you do on stuff, i know you need it to reach ten minutes. But if you ever make a video that has more tips, Then Just say the tip and Not any of the extra stuff. And hopefully it will be ten minutes
