Im always stuck between building as efficiently as possible. But the roleplaying aspect always takes over and i end up enjoying organic styles of growth. Like in reality you wouldnt completely demolish a building to put in a slightly more convenient area. Especially in such a scenerio as survival. So you find more efficient ways to use the layout. Planning organic growth that is pleasing yet efficient. And of course repurposing rooms and wings as expansion happens and would be better suited for a different task etc...
Actually love it...this satisfies my aesthetics and functionality without using too much braincells and planning, best of all: it fools me into a sense of safety. Would probably survive for a few years with this unless Randy decides otherwise.
I make my rooms 23x11 inside, they can be split in to 6 7x5 bedrooms, split in half for things like a hospital/limb storage, 7x11 production/15x11 materials, or kept whole for recreation rooms or prisons or misc storage.
@TheWorldOfKilladrix my pawns do it too slow then complain that they're room have holes and missing stuff. Maybe I should put them on a packed room first?
@@DrCheez342 Yeah, to start just do a single 11x11 or 9x13 room, put some beds, a table (and chairs), and make sure it's enclosed and lit up with lighting.
Suggestion: keep your prisoners in separate cells so they can't bond and conspire against you. This also prevents disease transfer and unwanted physical contact.
What, and need to build support columns? Reeeee! XD I used to do the 1-megaroom strat for maximum efficiency, but for years now I've been with Killadrix on this. Defense compartmentalization is huge, esp playing with modded factions/weapons and/or 500% difficulty. If workbenches are split up a bit, the colony's productivity doesn't all go down if an enemy with explosives or fire gets a shot off. With a megaroom, the defenses are all outside the room. Crunch shell, soft chewy center. Everything's hunky dory until a raid cracks the exterior or drop pods in. Well, unless you build some defensive positions inside your megaroom. :D I've had max threat score drop pod raids that get split up and trapped in multiple rooms/halls b/c of my chokepoint construction. Makes it a breeze to rally my pawns, clear out one hallway or room, use it as a strongpoint and clear everything one room at a time from there. 200 raider pawns all shooting at the same time can kill 20 pawns with amazing gear. But 20 pawns with amazing gear can kill 10-30 raiders easily, multiple times in a row. The compartmentalization helps break the raiders up into bite-sized servings, similar to the killbox drip feed. Compartmentalizing can also make a base more robust against killbox failure. Sometimes a big raid blows out a few wall cells too many, and that lets in more raiders than your killbox DPS can absorb, overwhelming your defenses. It's good to be able to fall back into a room or hall and use it as the next mini-killbox.
The first storage is the food freezer, hence being near the growing zone, the stove and having the butcher table. The shelves in the crating room will hold the crafting materials and crafted goods.
As soon as I saw the first blook room I could hear Mr Samual Streamers cry of pain from the disteance. Efficent dezine but with all that wood you need some of the forbiden sience. Firefoam popers.
I'm so intrigued with TH-cam's obsession with fire and wood bases. Most fires are VERY EASY to put out, rooms can be vented, roofs can be removed. None of the Twitch viewers care, none of the TikTok viewers ever mention it. Just TH-cam lmao
Great question, the problem is aesthetically pleasing means something different to everyone. My most “aesthetically pleasing” bases typically happen as result of terrain, swamp or water being in way of where I would just draw giant rectangles 😂
Well clearly that is the most important room so it goes right in the middle. The kitchen/eating area should be next door so he never has to go to far, and the hospital should be next to both of those. Hospital also as close to the kill box/base entrance as possible. If he's a researcher or crafter or wtvr than the laboratory/workshop/wtvr should also be next door to his room. I'm picturing a square base, with kitchen to the north, hospital and base entrance to the west, laboratory to the south. Perhaps the rec room to the east. Rice fields to the north of the kitchen of course. Or heck, rec room to the NE, lab to the NW, give him a north facing door to his room. After that everything else can fall in place
The barracks size is important because it includes the barracks, rec room and dining room. It's 9x13 so it can fit everything I need, which is typically 16-ish beds (4 quads of 4). Y'all can do whatever you want with the stove, I put it there for easy access. If you REALLY want to test the effectiveness of the barracks design, then follow the instructions in this video here: th-cam.com/users/shortsF7m6_6O5TbM
This base seems very much designed for when things don't all happen at once. Separate kitchen for example is a must so I can keep cooking while half my colony bleeds out on the living room floor. And yes I NEED to be cooking because I live off the human corpses that were just delivered into my living room
Ha! Yes, thank you. This is super beginner. A lot of folks missed that in the title, description, top text, etc. But it's functionally sound, I've used a setup almost exactly like this for the last 1k+ hours.
I cant say to actually make a barracks unless you got mods for it cause all the mood debuffs. But damn this absolutely may make me make something better for once
The barracks in that video is actually gamebreakingly strong for positive moods for a few reasons you can find in this video here: th-cam.com/video/F7m6_6O5TbM/w-d-xo.html
Yeah no. Barracks are incredibly strong and space efficient. It's easy to offset the mood debuff from disturbing sleep with wonderful dining/rec room. Which can also be your barracks
Your drug crafter will have far higher productivity standing in one place and crafting all of your drugs in the hospital, than traveling back-and-forth to your workshop for the speed of the toolbox.
Barracks with a recreation item and dining table with beauty 6+ is actually very meta atm for mood buff stacking (for anyone that cares about the meta).
@@TheWorldOfKilladrixGod I know, I despise mountain bases. I tried one once and randy hit me with 500 infestations. Probably going to stick to my small hills.
Protip: Remove the slept in barracks moodlet by placing down more sleeping spots than there are beds, and turn them all into medical spots.. boom, barracks becomes a hospital.
9x9 isn’t bad, but the 9x13 allows me to fit up to 20 single beds in my barracks/dining room/recreation room and I like the extra storage room in my freezer and crafting room.
@@TheWorldOfKilladrix Only getting onto the shelf slows them down. If you stack them solid together, they treat the shelves all as normal floor until they come off the shelves again (and have to climb back onto another shelf). Same as for barricades and sandbags. To maximize slowdown in kill tunnels, I used to stagger my barriers 1 on, 1 off. Multiple solid cells of sandbags/barricades don't slow down a pawn, are only good for preventing pawns from stopping on those cells to shoot (like preventing them from using walls for 75% cover, as you built in your kill tunnel in this example). That's unless something has changed very recently or else I was completely blinded by cognitive bias. I've been building solid bricks of shelves to fill my trade beacon radii, and I'm pretty sure this is what I observe with my pawn movement. (doubts self, makes note to fire up game tonight to check that I'm not blind or insane)
@@dakaodo You are correct. Sandbags in trap tunnel should be wood fences (less resources, cheaper alternative), except the last ones near the entrance. No doors through the wall??? Only way in and out through the trap tunnel?
The doors is a solid point, it's a short tunnel so I'm not too worried about it. Later game when it snakes out 3-4 tunnels deep I'll usually put doors in. My base usually has a series of doors around the sides for easy access.
Ahh, sorry I misunderstood. I'm using the planning tool in Architect -> Orders -> Planning Tool. It allows you to draw some lines on the map to plan your base before building. There is also a great mod called "More Planning" which gives you different colors from which to choose.
I’m not sure if you’re meme’ing but there is a clip floating around my channel somewhere of me actually wiping to the singularity killbox because I built it incorrectly and also used it wrong 😂
@@TheWorldOfKilladrix I haven't seen that clip but I tried it before too and it did not go well for me. I think it may have been patched cause I mean...it is a pretty cheesy killbox
@@TheWorldOfKilladrix They are also entirely unnecessary early game. Flooring increases the wealth of your base dramatically (making raids harder) and allows filth and trash to generate. Filth stacks only drop when pawns enter constructed or smoothed terrain, and trash stacks only drop while walking on constructed terrain. You can have as filthy a base as you want, without ever increasing the "dirty" value of rooms below -1. That's clean enough to avoid food poisoning from cooking, and for your beauty or impressiveness needs, just build a statue, which usually enough to bump room quality by an entire tier.
Considering you are gambling between -12 sick mood debuff from food poisoning and guaranteed -6 ate a nutrient food debuff. Nutrient paste might be a better option until you can afford a new sterile kitchen where only cooks entering it.
I’ve used this exact setup for the last thousand+ hours of gameplay and rarely struggle with food poisoning. Occasionally? Sure. Crippling? Absolutely not.
This will work on most difficulties. 500%’ers will probably trim it down a bit but this guide was made for new players, which is why it has the word “beginner” in the top text, title and description so people won’t miss it 👍🏻
Making your crafters constantly walk through the kitchen and barracks is a 1/10 design. Just put the shelves of raw goods by the creating tables, and give good it's own separate room
My friend, may I ask what you think the shelves in the crafting room are for? When I said “shelve it”? I wonder what goes on those 🤔🤔🤔 I also wonder what goes in the first room adjacent to the growing zone, with the two coolers and the butcher table 😂😂😂 we’ll likely never solve this mystery.
The first storage is the freezer, which is why it has 2 coolers, a butcher table, is next to the 140% fert growing zone and next to the stove. The crafting room is full of shelves for crafting mats and crafted items.
@@GrifShorts Yes, but the butcher has the corpses dropped at their feet and places the meat on the shelf next to the table without moving. The butcher never having to move to butcher and store raw meat more than makes up for the lower work speed.
bad design no sterile tiles which is industrial tech level or even hay grass for both the hospital and the cooking area also small prison for a colony that size you would want a decent sized prison
This is a base for beginners to help through the first year. Expecting them have sterile materials research and spend the gold/steel on it and understand the cleanliness properties of straw mat versus wood is a bit much. Great suggestions, but not what I would propose for new players who are struggling.
@@Mantisacord99 Yeah, I've got 6k hours in the game, I understand the basics. I'm just not overly concerned about occasional food poisoning. If that's the worst thing going on, I'm in great shape 👍
The barracks setup is a free +15 mood buff because it combines 3 rooms into one and abuses beauty. It's one of the most broken mood strategies in the game: th-cam.com/users/shortsF7m6_6O5TbM I've used this setup now for 1k+ or more of my 6,000 hours and it's insanely good.
There is a 4 cell difference between 11x11 and 9x13 so the efficiency is similar. I just prefer the slimmer profile. Wood is fine, especially early game before you have the time/resources to make blocks and build stone walls.
Thats pretty solid, the rectangular rooms prevent roof instability while extending the space without needing to build aditional supports, nice. 11x11 may be good, but its hightly overrated haha
I support folks playing however they like. I used to do individual rooms until I learned how to get a +15-ish mood buff with this barracks and I could never go back

This compact, efficient setup ensures that your colonists live in a base that looks like shit
This video was made to help new players learn about room sizes and adjacencies, not how to build a visually appealing base 👍🏻
people who landed in the mountains: 🗿🗿🗿
I’m doing a mountain base soon!
Sounds good, better make nutrients paste tho
Why?
@TheWorldOfKilladrix try nutrients paste expanded
Considering you are gambling between -12 sick mood debuff from food poisoning and guaranteed -6 ate a nutrient food debuff. Nutrient paste might be a better option until you can afford a new sterile kitchen where only cooks entering it.
I’ve used this exact setup for the last thousand+ hours of gameplay and rarely struggle with food poisoning. Occasionally? Sure. Crippling? Absolutely not.
I design everything around 11x11
I support this 👍🏻
This only works in the easier difficult
This will work on most difficulties. 500%’ers will probably trim it down a bit but this guide was made for new players, which is why it has the word “beginner” in the top text, title and description so people won’t miss it 👍🏻
for a freezer do o make another 9x13 LOL
I just do your reccomendation for barracks and just grow out a damn tumor from there
Freezer was first storage, the one with 2 coolers, a butcher table, adjacent to the grow zone with the stove on the other side of the door 🤔
Making your crafters constantly walk through the kitchen and barracks is a 1/10 design. Just put the shelves of raw goods by the creating tables, and give good it's own separate room
My friend, may I ask what you think the shelves in the crafting room are for? When I said “shelve it”? I wonder what goes on those 🤔🤔🤔 I also wonder what goes in the first room adjacent to the growing zone, with the two coolers and the butcher table 😂😂😂 we’ll likely never solve this mystery.
You should send these to Mortal.
Can’t teach an old dog new tricks 😂
I prefer to make a fridge and storage room
The first storage is the freezer, which is why it has 2 coolers, a butcher table, is next to the 140% fert growing zone and next to the stove. The crafting room is full of shelves for crafting mats and crafted items.
@TheWorldOfKilladrix low temperature = work speed
@@GrifShorts Yes, but the butcher has the corpses dropped at their feet and places the meat on the shelf next to the table without moving. The butcher never having to move to butcher and store raw meat more than makes up for the lower work speed.
13x13 ftw
I support this 👍🏻
bad design no sterile tiles which is industrial tech level or even hay grass for both the hospital and the cooking area also small prison for a colony that size you would want a decent sized prison
This is a base for beginners to help through the first year. Expecting them have sterile materials research and spend the gold/steel on it and understand the cleanliness properties of straw mat versus wood is a bit much. Great suggestions, but not what I would propose for new players who are struggling.
@@TheWorldOfKilladrix Correction silver also it's dirt cheap sterile tiles hell even steel tiles would do
@@TheWorldOfKilladrix and also cleanliness is need because if you get food poisoning from food caused by a filthy cooking area thats kill mood
@@Mantisacord99 Yeah, I've got 6k hours in the game, I understand the basics. I'm just not overly concerned about occasional food poisoning. If that's the worst thing going on, I'm in great shape 👍
@@TheWorldOfKilladrix I have 7k bro food poisoning is a pain to deal with
9x13 gang vs 11x11 gang
I used to be a HARDCORE 11x11'er in Rimworld (and DF), but I love the slimmer profile of the 9x13 : (
No I dont think I will
Procedes dig into a mountain
You crazy-ass mountain-basers lmao
Самое страшное чем мы можем занятся в подобных играх это - упрощением
Optimization and simplification are powerful tools in RimWorld.
bro this whole thing will collapse within less a year, 8beds in one room? kitchen in the same room? yeah you played probably only one run
The barracks setup is a free +15 mood buff because it combines 3 rooms into one and abuses beauty. It's one of the most broken mood strategies in the game: th-cam.com/users/shortsF7m6_6O5TbM I've used this setup now for 1k+ or more of my 6,000 hours and it's insanely good.
Don't forget to use overhaul mods that you don't know what they do😂😂😂😂
Way ahead of you! 😂
Bop it!
where is power?
Power will be its own separate video was too much to squeeze into this one
But you see... I like build bace
Then build bace, my friend.
Nonsense the most efficient base is the one that have phallic shape
This has been confirmed true.
Nice
Thank you : )
11by11 is most efficient, it can be used much better than this and can look much better if you cut it up. Secondly don't use wood. I honestly hate it
There is a 4 cell difference between 11x11 and 9x13 so the efficiency is similar. I just prefer the slimmer profile. Wood is fine, especially early game before you have the time/resources to make blocks and build stone walls.
Nope. With 4k hours of rimworld. The best beginner is the 13x13 wall compound of Adam.
I was a 13x13 believer for a long time, but I started to like the slimmer profile of the 9x13. Both are great!
Thats pretty solid, the rectangular rooms prevent roof instability while extending the space without needing to build aditional supports, nice. 11x11 may be good, but its hightly overrated haha
I used to do 11x11 now I do 9x13 😂
If I see someone do that cross of beds/tables I immediatly tune out. so ugly
Okay 👍🏻
then it burns
Everyone so afraid of a little 🔥🔥🔥
I make different rooms for different ppl
I support folks playing however they like. I used to do individual rooms until I learned how to get a +15-ish mood buff with this barracks and I could never go back
@@TheWorldOfKilladrix I love Rimworld in its original purpose. The fun. Not the skill. Like, dogs ganging up in my Warehouse and drinking all of my beer and then all of them die from cirrhosis. Or a dude who shows his dead dad to everybody bcuz he is racist and nobody in the colony is his preferred race.
@@meltingRN I get it, and like I said, I'm happy for everyone to play the way they like. Fun for me is not worrying about mental breaks, so I use the barracks with the bonus mood. I'm not worried so much about being "skilled" as I am having fun, so I embrace strategies that allow me to enjoy the parts of the game I enjoy and minimize the parts of the game I don't.
@TheWorldOfKilladrix thats awesnme
обгораживать базу деревянными стенами? любопытно...
This is a beginner base for year one, and yes, I believe wood walls are better than no walls.
pyromaniac
Just don’t accept them into your colony? 😂
There's no power generation either
Power generation will probably be a video of its own. Only so much you can squeeze into a 30 to 45 second video 😂
