Michigander here, I've only been building watermills since I first started playing Rim World. One time I rushed geothermal like three years ago. Very accurate video, thank you for your service.
I have never built watermills, just as I have never really played vanilla. They're just too fragile. I prefer geothermal, and as soon as I can get them, nuclear reactors. The Rimatomics ones are best, but the smaller modded ones are a good stopgap.
Only reason I use geothermal is because I like to have a mountain to protect one side of my base but if I choose an area that has a mountain and water it creates an underground stream which causes infestations
@@mirceazaharia2094 The best part about watermills is that they don't respect boundaries. Meaning you can place 10 of them right by eachother and they'll all still produce that yummy 1100W
Hey man, Specific request, but really want to see what the most damage you're capable of doing to a Large enemy structure is, but with only 1 Pawn. Like a Min/Max Saboteur, even if including VE+, Androids+, etc. What is the most damage one Pawn can do?
Not sure what other modifiers can add to it, but the Breach Axe can be crafted as soon as Smithing is researched, only takes 50 steel to make, and does 7.5x damage against walls and 10x damage to passable buildings. While it's not especially effective against pawns, it can tear through structures and defenses and is especially good against mech clusters. Kid Muscle has a video on it "Why you should use the ‘Breach Axe’ in RimWorld" ( th-cam.com/video/6CpHnttuDMA/w-d-xo.html ) Edit: They're also great for clearing up all the wrecked vehicles and junk you can find scattered on the map.
From a single attack? Are we counting OP weapons and single usage ones like rocket launchers or just plane old jane breach axes? The Orbital power beam targeter is probably the most devastating single target attack you could do assuming you count it as such. For single weapons, high melee breach would be the fastest structure dps but the highest damage per hit would probably be a charge lance as it has the highest damage and AP of the single shot weapons at 50 damage and 45 AP. For reference, a sniper is 25 damage and 38 AP
@@OneHunchMan to rephrase, could you show me how much Damage 1 Pawn can do on it's own, and how to make a Pawn a 1 Man Base destroyer. Think of it as a challenge! The ultimate Saboteur!
Ooh yeah, that base of his with the watermill generators in his review. For months on end, I thought that they were a modded power option. To my great surprise, it turned out that they're vanilla.

I appreciate the historical accuracy of this video
did my research ✔
I did not know that Sun Tzu spoke Japanese.
He spoke Toyota
now you know

nice! didn't know sun tzu's japanese was as good as erwin smith's
lmao good vid
Indeed quite an exquisite piece of art.
I used to only settle on maps with rivers because I didn’t like using batteries, and geothermals took so long
You've been possessed by the spirit of Sseth again, I see.

sometimes the shitpost mood hits
@@OneHunchMan True.
I was not ready for Erwin Smith to tell me to use watermills, but god damn. My mind has been changed
I've seen enough anime to recognize Japanese when I hear it. He was also saying "we" a lot: "wariwari"
I thought i was watching a SsethTzeentach video.
was that from AoT?
Yeah. One of the best speeches by the best character in the entire series
Great video
You forgot to mention the fact watermills' unlimited power is dampened by placing them next to eachother.
here is some support for your channel😈
Thanks McBillyBoy
Balls ❤️
I never knew Sun Tzu is Japanese
I've yet to use a watermill. This isn't bragging, this is a cry for help for my incompetence as I freeze to death in a mountainous Alpine alps region.
You just have to melt the ice 👌

Too much fire, retreated to the plains instead.
My favorite power source.
Doesn't their proximity to each other greatly reduce their efficacy?
yes, 30% efficacy if others nearby
But... your building them so close together
Seriously, is the loss in efficiency worth it?
Definitely not, for max efficiency, make sure to space them out
You can always count on this videos for some serious facts and some serious jokes.
