Do you ever play Naked Brutality? A guide for starting on that mode could be fun. Better yet, Naked Brutality blind start. Just take whatever landing zone and colonist the randomizer gives you.
@@Zombull73 Most of my runs are naked brutality starts, or even 'tribal naked brutality' in which I start with 1 naked tribal research pawn instead of the normal NB research. Before Ideology I mostly did random 1 pawn, random seed, random map, go. :P You can find quite a few 'naked tribal brutality' runs on this channel. Here's a couple: th-cam.com/video/UtPGxZnYd6U/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/CznnT4Gyxuo/w-d-xo.html
@@AdamVsEverything this is interesting. I schedule rec time after two hours of work, in sets of 3, followed by "any" time, after each; like in real world breaks after work sets of two hours each. Usually this allows some down time for hauling and cleaning. -but it all depends on priority lists. for e.g: SA; WWRA; WWRA; WWRA; WWA; SSSSSSS. This also allows for day naps, and frequent breaks for meal times. As pawns consider rec tim to also be sleep / cleaning. they're weird like that.
Adam, you're so good at tutorials it's crazy. Requesting your next one to be a tutorial on the Work tab! Priorities, early game vs late game, single pawn starts & conflicting jobs, etc.? That's always where I struggle most
I am also totally convinced that biphasic is the way to go. Just the fact that you’re more able to deal with random events at any time of day far outweighs the costs.
@@eugenesandona6374it's so depressing when your base gets attacked and your colonists have just gone to sleep with a 1 phase sleep schedule. Then being forced to rally them on 0 sleep
Just started using this schedule now for almost all my guys and wow what an improvement to their mood. In my opinion its better to center around this type of schedule because pawns just seem to be more functional this way. It sucks when productive gets ruined because of a mood breakdown or a breakdown just before a fight.
I really didn’t expect this video to provide much more then put sleep and Recreation together,, but it turned out to be one of the most useful videos I’ve watched.
@19:13 Adam didn't mention why he put recreation first for quick sleepers. I'm guessing it's because they have higher odds of finishing sleeping before the hours are up, (ie, sleep 4:30 or less instead of 5 hours flat), so putting recreation before guarantees that they always walk-recreate-sleep-walk instead of walk-sleep-walk-recreate-walk. Superb guide. Getting a ~+15 mood and bypassing ~-15 social mood penalties looks like a great choice in exchange for 20% productivity. Unless one is playing with time based wealth progression, bad events scale off wealth (primarily made from productivity) and are only unsurvivable when combined with mental breaks (due to low mood), so I can see why the biphasic approach is so powerful on the higher difficulties.
Yes, that is one of the reasons. Quick sleepers are kind of crazy. It's actually weird watching how well they do on an 'all anything' schedule, actually.
@@AdamVsEverything if you're worried about long jobs like hunting going all the way through the recreation time, putting it after sleep can work... And you can avoid that extra walk trip from someone waking up early by deliberately shorting their sleep schedule. If they have 3 hours set to sleep followed by 3-4 hours recreation, they'll sleep through whatever parts of that recreation they need to for rest, but then always begin recreating immediately without a wasted trip.
@@PopeGoliath Thank you, I feel like everyone else here is missing this. Sleep 2 hours, recreate 4 hours is SO much better than 2 rec 4 sleep, because a colonist will stop recreation to sleep, but won't stop sleeping to recreate. A pawn who has recently recreated and doesn't need the top-up (say, for example, they recently took drugs), will attempt to go back to work during a rec period, which is bad if sleep is next. So you should put rec last and make it longer. Meanwhile, if you put short-sleep, long rec, a colonist who is very tired can sleep in over their rec period without issue, as long as they wake up with enough time for 1 bar's worth, while a colonist who is well rested will only take the 2 hours scheduled and then do whatever rec they need, maybe only 1 bar's worth, and then go to work in one trip!
Definitely the preferred way. Unfortunately, algorithms set higher preference on shorter form content, so often times creators will break each point in a video like this into its own video and stretch a topic like this out over a few of them. There's a few rimworld content creators I've just blocked on the platform so that the informational content isn't so dilluted. I like this series of guides.

Well, I think I'm going to start treating myself as a colonist and switch to a triphasic schedule every time I sense burnout coming. Thanks for the mental health tip, Adam!
Rimworld is a beautiful double edged sword for mental health, actually playing it can be really shit for mental health but managing colonists' mental health can give you good reminders about managing your own.
A tip that might help some folks. I put a forced meditation time before bed, and placed the assiged meditation spot at the foot of the colonist bed. This forces them to take a trip to their assigned bed before sleep, so they don't walk to recreation that is further away from their bed. This has worked out really well for me. Cheers!
Four hundred hours and I'd mostly ignored the schedule tab except in the case of Night Owls and dark-related memes/precepts. This has blown my mind wide open. can't wait to try it out!
Thank you, learned a lot here! Might have to come back and re-watch later after this info has rattled around in my brainhole for a while xD A bit to much info to quickly xD
Great guide. It's something I've never really thought about much before and normally just leave on default, but this is inspiring me to actually start playing with schedules
I've been doing everything wrong with scheduling! This is so helpful. All of your RimWorld videos are very helpful, actually. Thank you for making these videos, I really appreciate it. I just got the game a little over a month ago and I wouldn't have ever gotten as far in the game as I have without videos like yours. Well, at least not as quickly as I have, for sure.
Another wonderful guide. The biphasic schedules have been great for my smaller bases ever since I first saw you use them. I also love hunting down pawns to work during the night so I always have people working. More so I always have people to watch rather than zoning out while everyone sleeps.
This is absolutely the best Rimworld guide ive seen in quite a while. I always had an idea that schedules were powerful but had no idea how to handle it. Really really great work dude. Thanks
I have literally thousands of hours in rimworld and while nothing here was groundbreaking this help clarify alot about scheduling for me! Thank you so much. Great video.
@@AdamVsEverything With the prison labor mod I find prisoners won't work if set to "anything", even once they're rested, fed, and full on recreation, so I have to use "work", but I might take some ideas from this to better set up prison scheduling to cut down on mental breaks, when prisoners go berserk it cuts into productivity because wardens have to go either down the berserk prisoner or wait for the other prisoners to do so, and then rescue everyone downed in the fights or risk them either bleeding out because no one will tend them if not in hospital beds or starving to death because no one will feed them if not in hospital beds. Then productivity is further cut down because both colonist doctors and prisoner doctors have to take time away from other tasks to go feed the incapacitated prisoners in hospital.
I love how well you explained it that I noticed at the beginning the list of scheduling models was extremely confusing but when brought up the very last time at the end I immediately knew what all of them meant and how to use them
honestly this is ludicrously helpful, first time trying a completely un-optimised bi-phasic schedule and havent had any mental breaks in several months ingame, everyoneis constantly in blue / green. pretty great.
This was fascinating. Currently doing a Zombieland run in a Caldera where walking trips are extremely long and I have multiple schedules based on how many zombies there are. Going to apply this info with glee, should be a huge help
Wow. I'm a rookie to the Rim. Only 399 hours. I thought I had to schedule work to avoid a colony full of slackers. Thank you for this valuable info. This was great info and as a big fan of naps in real life I will be adopting the biphasic schedule. Also makes me wonder if it is the ideal schedule in other similar games such as Oxygen Not Included. Thanks again!
Honestly, stuff like this is what makes me feel many survival games add weird requirements on stuff people would never think about. Eg, people needing to sleep twice a day, rather than 5-7 like a normal human. Some people just nap, but most games don’t make that possible.
I've started playing rimworld just over a month ago and I'm hooked. I've been watching so many tutorial videos on this game and they're all good but WOW you're amazing at explaining and teaching. Instant sub my friend, keep up the great work, you're a great teacher for an entire generation of colonists on the rim!
I just started playing this game a couple of weeks ago and I am hooked! I play for a few days and then I watch a random video to see how I'm doing. I had already discovered the schedule thing, but I didn't realize that a pawn might actually choose to work during the Anything block...that's a literal game changer for me. Gonna change up my schedule and change all the works to Anything blocks.
This was incredibly useful. Despite a few hundred hours in game, I never really understood the utility of different kinds of schedules & have left them at default. Now, I’m a believer. XD
That and the just enjoyed this and the lighting guide. Very informed snd eager to start playing again after being away for some time. Subscribed and plan to return for my next scheduled dose of information.
and here i thought i already knew everything i needed to know about scheduling from what i saw on your streams. i learned so, so much from this guide (eg the work vs anything prioritizing differences), and i can't wait to apply this info to my own games :)
Man, you have no idea how happy you have made me. Iv been trying commitment mode, and i just want someone ready to fight at any time, triphasic all the time for my standing military is AMAZING. I felt like i was going to rip my hair out with everyone's issues all the time and no one being ready for problems.
Another good guide, glad to see it, even after 8+ years of playing the game there were things in there even I didn't know, Cheers to a good guide and doing the work to show all those examples. Well done!
@@AdamVsEverything Always happy to support man, having friends make wins makes me happy in a weird way these days, proud might be the word, but not in a bad way, just like 'yeah! he's kicking ass, GOOD for him!' type of a way, no matter how I try to write it, I just feel like it comes off wrong, hopefully you get what I mean and cheers brother!
Great guide as always! The only thing I think that could have been touched on was that high mood also has that frequent chance of triggering inspirations; I tend to weight mood more than productivity because of it, but I am also a casual scrub who doesn't play on 500% no pause ;) I'll leave that to you and just enjoy the content!
Add the mod that changes inspiration RNG to ensure your pawns only get inspirations they'll actually use based on their skills, and they start really adding up in terms of productivity.
Jesus, i didn't ever consider how micromanaged Rimworld could get. I run ths standard schedule with 2 rec before and after bed and it's been fine. Though I am fairly late game with a massive mountain base so i guess that helps. Watching this incredibly thorough walkthrough is amazing and really eye opening.
Great guide. One thing to emphasize is that because you can't work prioritize or order a drafted pawn to do recreation, it can make a lot of sense to just set a pawns schedule to always be recreation. Especially if they will be always be working in the base since the only cost is the travel time. This way pawns will always try to keep that bar filled and work when it is filled, where otherwise as a result of your manual orders they may miss their scheduled recreation leading to a mood collapse that you can't really fix without messing with the schedule anyway.... It can even help in cases where you are trying to get a lot of work done away from the base. Say you are trying to clean up some map constructions, or do a bunch of mining, deliver some food, put down a horseshoe, and zone restrict them to that area each day. It's easier to micro the zone restriction than it is to manually tell the pawn to work to mess with their schedule, etc.
great guide dude, ive been playing like 250 hours and have just started wanting to play on harder settings, the other day i started playing with scheduale a bit and this will make a huge difference in not getting wiped due to mental breaks mid raid.
Thank you Adam. In-depth and the perfect length. I would be very interested in a series of guides about the best use for each psycast ability. Keep up the amazing output!
What a great guide. Even I learned a few things I will adopt for my games. As somebody who plays very micro heavy and is focused on efficiency, I dont usually bother scheduling as it is not as efficient as I can be. To me I feel like why bother constantly tweaking to get a perfectly automated schedule when I am already micromanaging the shit out of my pawns. Your guide was so good that even I got some good tips for my playstyle.
Love the vid man. I've found that doing an hour of meditation and an hour of recreation when the colonists wake up and before they go to sleep works very good as well
The only thing to be extra careful of there is that meditation is a force wakeup. So sometimes your pawns may wake up before fully rested and then get exhausted faster the next day.
These guides are very detailed and thorough. Great work!! I guess what I've been doing could be considered a hybrid. I have 1 block of work to force wake up (usually used up eating) followed by 3 blocks of rec (which they don't always need). Then its anything for a few blocks allowing desperate, off-track sleepers to catch up..Then another 2 block of forced work to push them back on track, a few blocks of anything, then a couple blocks of rec before bed. They only use it if between task but help rec starved pawns to catch up a bit and ensures others only need a small rec top-up next morning. There is some extra travel, but moods and sleep seem to realign after getting messed up by raids and/or hospital resting.
I really enjoy the way you do your guides. If you're looking for ideas of potential future guides, a short guide for confort could be really cool, i think a lot of people could use the informations (How the bar works, how the quality of objets like chairs and beds affect it, the strategies to optimise it...)
Yeah, I started using biphasic what feels like ages ago now, and it's a game changer for dealing with raids. Didn't know about the mood fall maximum rate, so thanks for that. One thing I do in larger colonies is try to stagger work so that I can constantly man limited production stations. You can have just about constant utilization of 2 stations with 3 pawns on biphasic offset 4 hours in succession - which is occasionally useful for lower level cooks when you have a flood of visitors, or you need to prep for a caravan. Otherwise I might just offset cooks to wake up and work several hours early so that there's food ready when the rest of the colony starts waking up.
Yeah, staggering schedules is really great. I usually start doing that right around the time I get to advanced researching so that I don't have to make as many advanced research benches etc.
I think productivity is higher for the biphasic in the long term run, less breaks and higher mood will play out in your favor when conflicts are resolved faster, people heal faster, and your colonists aren't tied to events outside the storyteller. I wonder though if slightly staggering the schedules by an hour or so from colonist to colonist will have a higher benefit if everyone is always up and at em.
I'm consistently surprised by rimworlds depth. I think this is the second mechanic that I can see how I created my own very frustrating problems in the past (the first being allowed zones) I've been playing the game for over 400 hours and I still get to learn new things, and as a result improve at the game drastically. Thanks for making a good guide that opened this mechanic up for me.
I've tried 2 recreation periods separated out because of filling the recreation bar twice, but I didn't know about the biphasic schedule, this seems pretty useful! I guess it's great for miners and growers too b/c there's pretty much no way for them to get comfort while on the job, since they can't sit down on the job. Even deep drilling won't allow drillers to sit down in a chair, at least according to the wiki on "deep drilling".

I have been playing Rimworld for many years, yet learned sooooo much from this tutorial!!!!
That's awesome - Thanks for watching!
Honestly, stuff like this is what makes me feel many survival games add weird requirements on stuff people would never think about. Eg, people needing to sleep twice a day, rather than 5-7 like a normal human. Some people just nap, but most games don’t make that possible.
Been using this advice since your tiny map challenge and it works super well.
Awesome! And yep, me too. Hard not to after trying it :P
Oh wow this really helped a lot! I don't think my colonist have had any mental breaks in like two seasons. Thanks!
This is such a scientific approach and I love it, great work ! :D
Thanks!
Amazingly well done tutorial. I need to be using this way more. I just tend to set and forget with schedules.
I've started playing rimworld just over a month ago and I'm hooked. I've been watching so many tutorial videos on this game and they're all good but WOW you're amazing at explaining and teaching. Instant sub my friend, keep up the great work, you're a great teacher for an entire generation of colonists on the rim!
I just started playing this game a couple of weeks ago and I am hooked! I play for a few days and then I watch a random video to see how I'm doing. I had already discovered the schedule thing, but I didn't realize that a pawn might actually choose to work during the Anything block...that's a literal game changer for me. Gonna change up my schedule and change all the works to Anything blocks.
Just the timestamps alone must have taken ages to do, great job
Thanks! Hopefully they are useful.
Absolutely killer guide. this is probably my main weak area of the game and this clarified a lot
Glad it helped!
This rimworld guide tells me how to prevent my real life nervous breakdowns. =)
This helped me engage with a mechanic I haven't really touched much before. It's like they released a new DLC. Except it's always been there
Thank you for the information
Thanks for watching!
This was incredibly useful. Despite a few hundred hours in game, I never really understood the utility of different kinds of schedules & have left them at default. Now, I’m a believer. XD
That and the just enjoyed this and the lighting guide. Very informed snd eager to start playing again after being away for some time. Subscribed and plan to return for my next scheduled dose of information.
and here i thought i already knew everything i needed to know about scheduling from what i saw on your streams. i learned so, so much from this guide (eg the work vs anything prioritizing differences), and i can't wait to apply this info to my own games :)
Glad it helped! - Thanks for watching!
I caught this months too late. Enormously helpful, thanks for this.
Man, you have no idea how happy you have made me. Iv been trying commitment mode, and i just want someone ready to fight at any time, triphasic all the time for my standing military is AMAZING. I felt like i was going to rip my hair out with everyone's issues all the time and no one being ready for problems.
Thanks for tutorial. This will definitely help me better manage my colony of 18 people that is getting shelled by mechanoid cluster.
No problem. Thanks for watching!
Another good guide, glad to see it, even after 8+ years of playing the game there were things in there even I didn't know, Cheers to a good guide and doing the work to show all those examples. Well done!
Thanks, Banlish. Much appreciated as always.
@@AdamVsEverything Always happy to support man, having friends make wins makes me happy in a weird way these days, proud might be the word, but not in a bad way, just like 'yeah! he's kicking ass, GOOD for him!' type of a way, no matter how I try to write it, I just feel like it comes off wrong, hopefully you get what I mean and cheers brother!
Great guide as always! The only thing I think that could have been touched on was that high mood also has that frequent chance of triggering inspirations; I tend to weight mood more than productivity because of it, but I am also a casual scrub who doesn't play on 500% no pause ;) I'll leave that to you and just enjoy the content!
Yeah, that is one thing I mention a lot in my stream as well. Generally all the inspirations make up for a ton of the 'unproductive' time.
@@AdamVsEverything Yeah you are so patient and amazing at answering questions on your streams, it's always a treat when I get to tune in :3
Add the mod that changes inspiration RNG to ensure your pawns only get inspirations they'll actually use based on their skills, and they start really adding up in terms of productivity.
first time commenting on youtube. you are the best tutorial video maker thank you for this amazing video! great work!
Jesus, i didn't ever consider how micromanaged Rimworld could get. I run ths standard schedule with 2 rec before and after bed and it's been fine. Though I am fairly late game with a massive mountain base so i guess that helps.
Watching this incredibly thorough walkthrough is amazing and really eye opening.
Great guide. One thing to emphasize is that because you can't work prioritize or order a drafted pawn to do recreation, it can make a lot of sense to just set a pawns schedule to always be recreation. Especially if they will be always be working in the base since the only cost is the travel time. This way pawns will always try to keep that bar filled and work when it is filled, where otherwise as a result of your manual orders they may miss their scheduled recreation leading to a mood collapse that you can't really fix without messing with the schedule anyway.... It can even help in cases where you are trying to get a lot of work done away from the base. Say you are trying to clean up some map constructions, or do a bunch of mining, deliver some food, put down a horseshoe, and zone restrict them to that area each day. It's easier to micro the zone restriction than it is to manually tell the pawn to work to mess with their schedule, etc.
An excellent guide! You break everything down really nicely and use very very good visual aids.
Glad it was helpful!
Damn fine discussion. Well done and thank you
Thanks!
Your schedule guide video is AMAZING! This will really help my 'lose if fun' mod penalty run!
Such a great production quality on this. Well done.
Thanks!
great guide dude, ive been playing like 250 hours and have just started wanting to play on harder settings, the other day i started playing with scheduale a bit and this will make a huge difference in not getting wiped due to mental breaks mid raid.
Amazing guide, I'm actually starting to have success on losing is fun thanks to your guides! Thank you
been using this for a few months and I can say it’s fire and you and your pawns keep their sanity
The best guide I have ever used.
I love the sleepless gene.
Holy Thrumbo this guide was good. i have over 1000h and right now is the first time i realize how important the schedule is.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you Adam. In-depth and the perfect length. I would be very interested in a series of guides about the best use for each psycast ability. Keep up the amazing output!
Thanks! I do have a few psycast things in mind, including a kind of tier list.
Dude... this completely changed my rimworld experience
My pawns are all inspired 24/7 now
Awesome! Thanks for the feedback.
What a great guide. Even I learned a few things I will adopt for my games. As somebody who plays very micro heavy and is focused on efficiency, I dont usually bother scheduling as it is not as efficient as I can be.
To me I feel like why bother constantly tweaking to get a perfectly automated schedule when I am already micromanaging the shit out of my pawns.
Your guide was so good that even I got some good tips for my playstyle.
Love the vid man. I've found that doing an hour of meditation and an hour of recreation when the colonists wake up and before they go to sleep works very good as well
The only thing to be extra careful of there is that meditation is a force wakeup. So sometimes your pawns may wake up before fully rested and then get exhausted faster the next day.
Thanks, Adam!
My pleasure!
binging lately, getting that prime info dump for my casual runs :D
Great guide, thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you. This guide is amazing. No wonder my pawns go bezerk. this would definitely help
Glad it helped - Thanks for watching!
wow wth. this is so good. it's like an engineering presentation with its thoroughness and compelling argumentation. good job man.
Thanks!
Finally! Someone who has explained this clearly on TH-cam
Glad you think so!
These guides are very detailed and thorough. Great work!!
I guess what I've been doing could be considered a hybrid. I have 1 block of work to force wake up (usually used up eating) followed by 3 blocks of rec (which they don't always need). Then its anything for a few blocks allowing desperate, off-track sleepers to catch up..Then another 2 block of forced work to push them back on track, a few blocks of anything, then a couple blocks of rec before bed. They only use it if between task but help rec starved pawns to catch up a bit and ensures others only need a small rec top-up next morning. There is some extra travel, but moods and sleep seem to realign after getting messed up by raids and/or hospital resting.
Glad you've been enjoying the guides! Thanks for sharing your schedule as well.
"This beds too soft...This beds too hard....." .. Recreation time explained 😅. Another great guide.
Thanks for watching!
This one has more than my current generation playthrough. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
I really enjoy the way you do your guides. If you're looking for ideas of potential future guides, a short guide for confort could be really cool, i think a lot of people could use the informations (How the bar works, how the quality of objets like chairs and beds affect it, the strategies to optimise it...)
Thanks! I will add it to the list.
This video took my game to the next level immediately thank you
Thank you for everything you have done for the Rimworld community. I appreciate you :)
Yeah, I started using biphasic what feels like ages ago now, and it's a game changer for dealing with raids. Didn't know about the mood fall maximum rate, so thanks for that.
One thing I do in larger colonies is try to stagger work so that I can constantly man limited production stations. You can have just about constant utilization of 2 stations with 3 pawns on biphasic offset 4 hours in succession - which is occasionally useful for lower level cooks when you have a flood of visitors, or you need to prep for a caravan. Otherwise I might just offset cooks to wake up and work several hours early so that there's food ready when the rest of the colony starts waking up.
Yeah, staggering schedules is really great. I usually start doing that right around the time I get to advanced researching so that I don't have to make as many advanced research benches etc.
Just finding your channel now, you have some nice videos and seem to know the game very well! Thank you for the guides
I think productivity is higher for the biphasic in the long term run, less breaks and higher mood will play out in your favor when conflicts are resolved faster, people heal faster, and your colonists aren't tied to events outside the storyteller.
I wonder though if slightly staggering the schedules by an hour or so from colonist to colonist will have a higher benefit if everyone is always up and at em.
This honestly saved my game, like and a sub well earned. I've loved this channel for a while now so it's been a long time coming.
I'm consistently surprised by rimworlds depth. I think this is the second mechanic that I can see how I created my own very frustrating problems in the past (the first being allowed zones) I've been playing the game for over 400 hours and I still get to learn new things, and as a result improve at the game drastically. Thanks for making a good guide that opened this mechanic up for me.
Of course you are still learning. Not even out of the tutorial yet
I've tried 2 recreation periods separated out because of filling the recreation bar twice, but I didn't know about the biphasic schedule, this seems pretty useful! I guess it's great for miners and growers too b/c there's pretty much no way for them to get comfort while on the job, since they can't sit down on the job. Even deep drilling won't allow drillers to sit down in a chair, at least according to the wiki on "deep drilling".
Another very good tool in mytoolbar. I'm probably always going to use this for guests
