I Beat Rimworld With 500 Colonists. It Didn't Go Well...

- In a belated celebration of the flock amassing five hundred members, I decide to thank every single one of them for their support in the only way I know how... by throwing them all into a terrible meat grinder of human suffering in the name of personal advancement!
No more shall my colony be limited by such unimportant restrictions like 'logic' and 'having a frame rate' - every single one of you will have a chance to shine in the Goosiest way possible... spontaneous combustion.
Thank you all for your support.
Are you telling me that there is an event horizon for barracks? It progressively gets worse the more beds you add, until you add so many people into the barracks that they are stunned by the sheer engineering marvel and display of wealth that 500 beds in a single room is, that they no longer care that they are sharing a room with 500 people?
it's less that they no longer care and more that the moodlets for having an opulent barracks offsets the "i didn't have my own room" moodlets. but otherwise, yes. you can make a black hole barracks.
For reference; I've played this game for 2k hours.
The highest non-negative moodlet a pawn can get from their bedroom when it is considered a barracks is +1.
ONE.
That is only applied when it is an "unbelievably impressive barracks" - something that requires a large, extremely wealthy room.
Putting 500 beds in a room will do that, yeah lol
Alternatively, you could just make an aesthetically pleasing barracks. Or individual bedrooms, where the max is +10? I think? lol
To be honest, if you can make a barrack for 500 guys I would be impressed enough to not care about the fact that I'm sleeping with 499 other persons as well
yep also if you have the barracs, rec room, and dining room all in one those buffs stack for the same room, so you can have impressive barracks, impressive dining hall, and impressive rec room mood buffs for the same room.
The *value* of the room. The colonists walk in and go "Woah! Do you have any idea how much 500 beds costs? This place is awesome!"
"despite literally thousands of hours in this game, I've never launched a *vanilla* starship"
This is me with Minecraft
This was me with Dark Souls back in 2012 - once I discovered PvP, I had like 7 characters with dozens of hours each and had never actually beaten the final boss
i was gonna say "same", but i actually killed the ender dragon once
@@darthhunter69 I've done it quite a few times, but only in multiplayer.
@@SupersuMC same, i only did it in multiplayer
I saw my colonist for a brief moment and realized they were incapable of caring, incapable of social, and were bad at literally everything. Never before have I resonated so strongly with a pawn.
Also it seems I unfortunately did not survive to the end. I managed to follow my pawn through a couple of the sidebar alerts during the video, but my last sighting of them was them going on a berserk just before the archer slug match raid that killed or kidnapped 80% of the remaining colonists. My guess is that I biffed it during this battle between one of the jump cuts. RIP to them, they were not missed during this colony.
RIP THE GOAT

Real
I am, indeed, incredibly happy to be sleeping packed together with all 500 of my crashmates in one warehouse
Just keep to your side of the bed and everything will be amazing! Otherwise I may get the urge to break some components...
I find it rather hilarious that you can play a game of "where's waldo" with your named pawn while watching goose try to play a game of rimworld (with this instance known as "Overpopulation simulator: The Game")
Its especially fun watching your own pawn die, especially when you are rooting for him to make it to the end (mine was last seen bleeding out after the last fight before launch)
54:37 "Death: You only live once" notification popping in the background as he's handling the wrap up really sent me on a journey.
five. hundred. colonists.
Yeah we can read the title, glad you can too though yay for you :)
@@Nick-jf7ku whoosh
@@Nick-jf7kuit was a reference to the “500 cigarettes” meme

The Colony appreciates your willingness to serve. :P
Emperor protects😂
im guessing im not the only one that immediately paused the video on the job list to look for themself
i still cant find myself
@@ssornahte6625 Me here doing the exact same thing
@@ssornahte6625 I didn't even bother, 500 is a giant number and I just assume I died somewhere near the end lmao
Found myself and keep track on it, was kidnapped at the "failed deathball", which is probably better then outright death :D
Hey Goose I made some chapters you can use to boost the algorithm or whatnot
00:00 - 00:54 Main Video
00:54 - 55:15 "Channel member names" Outro screen
Best outro screen ever btw
Holy guacamole, my favorite Factorio man out in the wild.
Not expected to see you here, but a welcome surprise
What's good Hendy!!!!!!
This stuff is the very reason I got a Membership. Why play video games like a rational human being when half the fun is the sandbox element! I genuinely hope "Beating X by the stupidest means imaginable" type videos become a main stay of the channel
I feel that beating games with absurd economy of scale that forces the computer to fume and weep tears of blood is pretty much much part of his brand by this point
@@HiddenDragon555oh no it’s let’s game it out but smarter run. But seriously I love both their content.
Deliberately beating a game or challenge by the stupidest means possible is one of my favorite genres of content. You can watch any rando meta-game the whole thing and play optimally, but nothing beats the entertainment of watching an absolute lunatic command a horde of rabid clowns to victory
41:20 You are absolutely correct Goose! Mechanoids from the vanilla Mechanoids faction are hard-coded to never raid you before day 40
Heck yeah. First pawn and his background is “Quack”. Perfectly suited for a goose vid.
7:25 "A plague of locusts stripped my farmland of all nutrients. And then they build a wooden cabin in it's place that can host 500 people somehow..."
Oh my god you caused a dwarf fortress tantrum spiral in rimworld lmao.
Terrible vision of the future for me at 13 min
As someone with essentially no disposable income right now, I am glad you still appreciate my time, because I certainly appreciate these videos and the break they provide.
Mom, I'm on the TV!
Edit: Mom, I survived on the Rim!
I don't know if I'm in, so I'm just going to go ahead and believe that the Andrew is me.
EDIT: I MADE IT MAW, 9:49!
I was even part of the circus going for the persona core!
I think I died when the pirate drop pods landed, and a rocket launcher was used. RIP, me.
Five, hundred, rimworld colonists
edit: i got captured at around 52:37
this is incredible
we must have more
This is a accurate representation of what would happen if the whole spaceship escaped in time and not just 3 people
Paused to see what my guy is good at I see I'm incapable of 90% of jobs . Now I'm left here thinking dang that's to accurate.
I am fully prepared to be the same kind of NPC that I am in my friend's games. Wholly psychotic, and instantly a danger to both themselves and anyone unfortunate enough to be within 35 nautical miles of me.
The last time I chose to watch one of my incarnations not in my direct control was XCom 2. In the opening mission, I instantly saw an alien, panicked, ran to a nearby, and very willing to explode car, threw a grenade instantly at the nearest group of innocent civilians, killing all of them and died later that turn to my cover becoming an oversized frag grenade on wheels. I expect my avatar on the rim will be the same.
EDIT: On my third rewatch, it appears I somehow survived, taking a nap in the barrack as the ship took flight with less than stellar looking health. I'm not entirely sure how that happened, but I am surprised to say the least.
On the Rim we call that 'rocket baiting' and it is unironically a strategy that I use to deplete raiders of their single-use weaponry when I have a psychic who can skip them to safety.
id imagine "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" would be something close to the sound of 500 people all suggesting a different name at the same time xD
I love colony sims but eventually my micromanaging tendencies multiplied by the increasing scope such games tend to have result in me looking at the next task to be done and going "Yeah, I'm good." Throwing even more bodies at the problem to just swamp any hurdle with just the answer "yes" never occurred to me so this was a fun watch, thanks Goose.
Really happy this came up in my recommendations. I remember a while ago watching ambiguousamphibian playing a similar concept of a huge colony and thought there were ways to do better with an optimized strategy. Glad to see it be done successfully
superb
edit: 49:23 RIP - last known living sighting 😭
YOU HAD THE AUDACITY TO MAKE ME THIN?????!!??!???? unacceptable I am quitting being a member /j
Awesome video, as always, Goose. Cheers to another 500? :DD
I love how one of the last messages is "Death: you only live once"
22:45
I was playing this video on the background while doing homework, never would I have thought our very own Neurotic Goose was going to do his very best Talking Larry Impression.
Needless to say I was very unproductive for the next 2 minutes due to incapacitation by laughter.
4:56 Ah, classic Rimworld. The pawns have only existed for like 4 consecutive seconds, and 1 of them's already insulting someone else. I've seen a mass colonist run before, and to say that I can't wait to see how gloriously this all implodes is an understatement. The storyteller will not be kind lmao
This whole video is like a continious where's waldo for me. Incredibly entertaining.
FYI, when you're adjusting job assignments for all pawns, you can hold shift and left or right click on the job name at the top of the column, and it will affect every pawn. If you weren't aware. Cool colony run!
I'm glad to have lived to the end through the power of sleeping through battle.
yes i'm still hunting for my pawn
(Also Mr Goose, let it be known EDB Prepare Carefully is RENOWNED for breaking saves... Character editor is a safer bet)
Goose: _"Some (in fact most) of you may die, but quite frankly, I do not care."_
I think this has given me a lot of respect for Ludeon's codebase, this big a population is well past the point where Dwarf Fortress starts to die a slow painful death, and that is a game built for a population in the 100s, so the fact Rimworld is able to (almost) run in this state is testament to whoever polished up the task-picking algorithms.
With the amount of time you're dedicating to your yt channel and your extensive knowledge of the rather obscure game mechanics, it's mind boggling to me that you have a SO.
Autism finds autism.

@@PhoebusApollo360 i'm opposed to labeling any dedicated person as neuro divergent.
Hey! Glad to see that I got to be the melee decoy during the second "ambush" lmao, before dying sometime after the ship got built.
"Even if I have to turn my computer into slag"
Goose, this is a big reason why I enjoy watching you. Your choice of words and vocabulary are both amazing and hilarious.
so goose, the Goose Temp Tech is oddly close to how a heat pump works. the vents are acting as an expansion valve/compressor and most people dont realize that heat pumps are *extremely* efficient at making things hot/cold, to the magitude of 4-5x the heat energy output vs the amount of heat energy put in as electrical energy. I.E. 100Kw of heat energy to the heat pump would have the effective output of 400-500kw of heat energy from the pump in either heat or cold. the laws of physics are being broken with that tech for sure, but its less of a complete shatter and more of a compound fracture.
i dunno...i haven't met a heat pump that can get make a room half as hot as a metallurgical smelter. or a room a few millikelvin above absolute zero.
@@estoericaferret like i said, its *similar* but not exact. "Less of a complete shatter and more a compound fracture"
This is probably the best wheres waldo game ive ever played, this was realy fun
It took me a while to find myself in the job list handle, hunt, construction at 2 , smith, tailor and craft at one, its exactly the complete oposite of me :)
i now see the logic that tribal raids go through to go out and raid with 129 naked guys with recurve bows
"I will not be accepting chemical dependencies or pyromaniacs"
welp, guess that's $2 down the drain.
still worth it though
Found my dude in a berserk rage at 44:45. Oddly apt due to how I think I broke my hand yesterday because I hit a wall out of anger.
What made you do that?
@@thecoolbyzantine24 I work at a Taco Bell. The past few months we have been consistently understaffed, and customers will still get 27 item orders back to back in a rush. When i was still a kid i used to just hit the thing that annoyed me, and because the kids who seen me lay someone out for annoying me usually stop annoying me after i do that i just kept hitting people until everyone around me finally understands that they should just annoy someone else. After i turned 18 all i did was swap what i hit from the thing that was directly annoying me to the nearest (Unbreakable to me) object. not the best way to deal with anger but better than catching an assault charge.
@@thecoolbyzantine24 he ate without a table
Goose my beloved
im so happy people are supporting you! you deserve so much!!
Goose: suffering from success
Apparently, I'm a torturer. Huh.
(21:26) You? Do math wrong? Never!
It looked like my pawn (barely) survived the giant mass kidnapping, but I didn't see them at all after that, unfortunately.
I'd recommend these performance mods if your not using them for any other challenges (They work with damn near any mod list, I'm currently running >600 and they work perfectly)
* Fishery (Dependency)
* Performance Fish
* [LTO] Colony Groups
* Performance Optimizer
* Red's Performance Fixes
* Rocketman (Which I saw you already use)
* Graphics Settings+ (Allows you to easily optimize textures using RimSort, I'd highly recommend this)
* FPS Stabilizer
Apparently I'm a stressed out Computer. Sounds about right. 20:59
I’m so happy I joined this flock. This really is the channel of all times.
Thank you for compiling this documentary of the last 4 or so years in America.
Very accurate.
For future crazy ideas there is a non-workshop mod called performance fish that is compatible with rocket man and performance optimizer and is much stronger. With all 3 installed I've had no lag with my 200 mods and large number of colonists playthrough
Congratulations, you've created Space Florida.
pawn last sighted at 47:39 rip, sorry i was incapable of dumb labour
A tip for later: make sure that you set a colony outfit. You can equip weapons to it too, this will help with the issue of not having weapons because your colonists were downed at one point, as they will see they don't have a weapon and equip it. In most cases, it doesn't work well since you'd usually want certain pawns to have certain different weapons. In this case however, since all of your pawns use the same type of bow, it doesn't really matter. _(unless they changed it since I last played)_
Best doctor in the gang! LETS GOOOO. I hope you were happy with my med skills boys
This kind of reminds me of the "I start with 100 dupes in Oxygen Not Included" challenge. Good stuff.
I was the first to die! Yay :D
underrated youtuber.
got linked here after a Rimworld video from The Spiffing Brit
I am not disappointed.
Well done, sir.
Did you consider other performance mods for this run? Here's some that work with Rocketman, not quite sure if they play perfectly nice with each other but they work.
- Performance Fish (Not on the steam workshop atm, only on Github)
- Performance Optimizer
- Dubs Performance Analyzer
- Toggleable Overlays Continued
- Toggleable Readouts Continued
Sending 100 colonists to beat up 1 naked dude was way funnier than it shouldve been
2:46 bless you
May as well be dwarf fortress with how impossible it is to tell what the hell is going on
OOOO I SAW MY PAWN! I do end up doing a lot of writing, so it's funny how the title ended up.
44:06 I love how on colonist is being beaten to death whilst everyone else is just sleeping or walking on by
Wow, I wasn't one of the folks who invested in your channel but I admire your dedication, hope your wrists are ok
Welp, now for the game of pausing every minute or so to try and find my own pawn and figure out whether they’re useless or not. Thanks Goose!
the whole rimcoin bit was a nonstop giggle, thanks for that
I think the only way to manage that many colonists is set up zones for everyone and basically set up multiple villages on the same map with multiple kitchens, crafting areas and everything.
I helped research the reactor and then died at an unknown time in an entirely non-impactful way. Worth it.
Yes, I enjoyed it.
Thanks for putting your computer in such a horrible situation for the entertainment and to perform this experiment.
You are the only TH-cam channel I ever decided to give money to. Worth it
if theres any other types of fun random runs to go through, maybe a neat 'challenge' idea would be to have one colonist for one skill, meaning in order to craft you need a colonist who can ONLY craft, needing a cook just to cook and only cook, shooter to ONLY shoot and never melee, melee pawn to only melee and nothing else, you can have more than one colonist doing said single skill, so 2 shooters are possible
other than that loved the video, it was really interesting seeing so many pawns on screen, if you ever do something similar to this challenge ever again maybe getting the vanilla outposts expanded mod would help, basically allows you to send off bunches of people into much smaller colonies that don't take up visual space so you can modify them easier while they go get materials or actively reduce the threats approaching the main colony
Placing gazillion traps by hand without a mod for copying projects deserves a like on it's own, and that's not to mention hours of managing colonists
Imagine storming a fort and watch the first 7 ROWS of your mates getting turned into hedgehogs simultaneously in an instant
"Some of you may die, but that is a price I am willing to pay."
being a nonmember means i don't get drafted into the murder deathball so that sounds pretty neat.
This was epic, but now do it all again by making the 500 colonists leave their starting home in groups of 50 to start their own colonies and see which colony lasts the longest
"several thousand hours, never bothered to actually win"
instant like and comment.
my man.
"A local scallywag" got me giggiling.
Not me stopping the video every time goose opens the work menu to look for my name😂
NOOOO, I got kidnapped. Was really hoping to live until the end.
I ended up dying just 2 hours before the reactor finished, unfortunate
The fact the first mental breaker you mentioned by name was a hungarian was really fitting
Been here since the start
Love your content
Keep going, bird
A useful thing for kill boxes is some spare artwork if you have it to help with modd and hilariously in the late game chairs/stools and an attached rec room (sticked with emergency drugs) so you can cycle or refuel people near breaking quickly and get them back in the fight.
The presence of Rocketman and the job disabling gave me flashbacks to my pre-Biotech clone colony. I like my colonies big and old, but had to transplant it to a new save after a while. I just have to farm a few more skilltrainers for a max colonist, though I think I’ll leave it after Factorio: Space Age.
That electricity bill will be... Magnificent
I spend hours on the creation of the world I play, adjusting this and that, generating a world, changing population density of ai, looking for the perfect pawn for my plan.
I can't imagine creating 500 characters.
I was last seen by myself around 48:26. I think I died. But how?
You do sound exactly like what I'd expect a goose to sound like
You do good work! You deserve the members
Hey look its me! I assume, good luck spotting names in that mess. :)
On optimization, always consider taking *bills* of any kind and reducing their radii from unlimited to around where you expect your resources to be or at least to something like 30-50 and not the whole map.
Similar pathfinding occurs with characters assigned to that job checking if there is steel or rice or whatever goes into fulfilling those bills.
Amazing, you managed to achieve a Dwarf Fortress-style tantrum spiral in Rimworld.
500!? I saw a 100 colonist video and that was crazy, this is going to be nuts
