100 Rimworld Top Things I Wish I Knew Before I Started! 

Noobert the time has come

Writer here: Had a lot of fun writing this one. hard to believe that so many years ago a friend introduced me to this game, and now I get to help introduce others to it and guide them. Feels great ya know

my favorite rimworld moment is still a group of refugees living at my colony for almost a year, waiting until most of the colony went on a caravan/mission leaving 2 people and 3 children behind then claiming "We planned to take over all along!" setting their barracks on fire and then dying in the guest house

imagine watching this with 2,000 hours of playtime 😂😂😂😂

ever since 1.5 came out, you can avoid ZZZTs from ever happening again by using all hidden power conduits rather then regular ones. they're programmed to never ZZZT so they can be normally placed outside, where your best power generators will typically be i.e. geothermals that are far off from the main base, without fear when it rains. but there's also no check for if the hidden ones are also under a wall, etc. and while retain this property

Some are missing: - Double walls will keep temps more stable which is awesome for fridges, especially not underground. - switches near the bats are fine, as well as encasing them in 2x1 brick walls and door so the flames won't touch anything else, with the switch outside the door. If you want to do it good: one battery per mini-room. - split the power grid but keep them "connected" to the rest using switches so when something goes down due low energy, you can use the other compartment energy. - if you've spare ore, split the map sections with 4 wide concrete lines, the random fires won't spread thru all the map. - the best place to lay corpses is in long dark corridors in a killbox. They'll decompose, give lung rot to the enemies so it's a win-win - make random little lunch rooms thru the map, maybe encased in mountains. They will have multiple effects: A- distract attackers; especially mortars. B- eliminate that mood debuff for eating not on a table when running around. C- they're easy bunkers if you get caught flatfooted by an attack of wild animals. - make a dedicated fireproof chemfuel storage. 4 blocks of bricks or else detached from the base. It catches fire for whatever reason? just block the door and lay it burn. It will eventually stop burning on it's own. Quoting handsome jack: "I could go on but I won't... ...but I can!"

Antigrain warheads are best kept in your pyromaniac's wood-floored or carpeted bedroom; along with the rest of your ammo and chemfuel supplies. Tempting Randy never goes wrong.

My first 15 or so colonies were all ended by fire in some way, even when I was absolutely sure that I'd built my whole base out of things that don't typically burn.

1000+ hours, will still always watch a Noobert hints video!

I suppose I knew the "cook right before expiration" thing, because that's how video games work, but that's still god-tier advice that I never would have thought of.

Random thing about how batteries and electricity I've learnt over time: They won't explode randomly if your giving enough out put, meaning DO NOT HOARD POWER: It WILL cause it to go off at worse time. Instead if you have a massive input with little output, start building turrets randomly, they are a effective method of draining power besides they can help in raider emergencies Also keep it roofed if you have your batteries out doors otherwise it can explode in the rain, though that Bzzt event will directly tell you on the event log it self, but I doubt that many players read them.

Always check, which enemy pawn is carrying a doomrocket....always.....

The more wealth you have and the more pawns you have, the more raiders you’ll get. Pawns can defend themselves, but wealth cannot. Limit your wealth as much as possible. Live in squalor if you are getting overwhelming raid sizes. You can adjust difficult at any time. Losing is part of Rim World.

A big one I learned recently: Weapons do not reduce in effectiveness with lower durability but they do lose most of their value especially when below 50%. This means you can lower your colony wealth considerably by just damaging your weapons. The biggest difference in value comes between 60% and 50%, so you can leave some weapons outside in the rain and Randy will go a little easier on you.

I always like to have my pawns recreate at the same time. It increases their chances of doing so together and builds their social interactions. which is really helpful since I run with Psychology and their social status with each other matters more. For defense perimeters, in addition to clearing cover, I also like to intentionally give enemies BAD cover. In my head, it prevents them from rushing me looking for cover. As far as I can tell, plant pots provide the worst at 20% cover.

noobert: nutrient paste is the best! me who plays naked brutality with no tech: what is nutrient paste?

Oh man im late for my favorite rimtuber. I got this game around 3 years ago and it was so worth.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="693">11:33</a> Especially since German, Zippy and Kit back there are using your ultra-expensive invisible medicine!

Rec doesn't decrease while sleeping, so there's no point using rec after waking up, just before sleep. Both greenhouses and freezers should be double walled for power efficiency. You can often get away with 1 cooler with double wall, versus 3 coolers on a single wall. Double walling bases also helps keep bases cool(or warm) in extreme environments. On centre-drop raids, if there is an open door leading to a turret, they will charge out of your base to kill the turret. Trade ship dropping info you are giving is wrong. They drop in the nearest open area to the LAST beacon you placed. Regarding treating injured pawns in the field. There is no need to place a medical spot, just use a drafted tend on a pawn that is currently drafted. Fire also only needs a 2 space gap, not 4. You also do a 2 space roof around your first wooden base and cut plants under that, so fire can not jump to the wooden building.

I have to say that your choice of music here is subtle and is so perfect for vids like this.. way better than the -energetic- too much energetic music of previous vids. Your work is much appreciated!

Damn nice collection. If forgotten a few of these so it's a good refresher

for the first rule you should keep abraise and disturbing pawns in a different schedule at least till you feel like you can make everyone happy regardless of a few annoying fellas. Also i thanks for these vids man.

Thank God I saw this at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="750">12:30</a> am 🙏

I've been Thinking of heading back on the Rim. A dwarf powering death traps is nice, but nothing beats raider-powered generators. Well geos are good too I guess. Anyway...thanks Noobert n Crew for the massive set of tips. More in the comments too. Great refresher.

This video is an improvement compared to the recent qol video.well done!

This is How i Play Rimworld for Years. When someone is Dead he is Dead there is no Loading Button!

i remember jumping in blind and i didn't know you could select what crop you can grow. so i ended up searching the whole map to look for other crops to grow than potatoes lol

Thing number 101. - cooking your pawns alive for some luciferium is sometimes worth it

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1560">26:00</a> The bigger the pack, the more likely they are to go manhunter. Muffalo just have big packs compared to their size and agression.

Ayyyyy, it's gonna be a great day!

When hunting animals that will retaliate if hurt, but won't attack when being tamed (like muffalo) set your colonists to tame them instead, and set auto slaughter for that animal to 0 (or however many you actually want to keep) that way your colonists won't get hurt, you can give your pacifist colonists something to do, and you don't have to waste time hauling corpses from the middle of nowhere

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="620">10:20</a> How can there be health complications? The required tolerances for health complications is higher than what is needed to cause a new addiction.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="519">8:39</a> You can do the reverse of this strategy. Build buffer structures like simple stone walls, trees, or grass-sowing zones far outside the base to occupy raiders, buying you precious to prepare for defense. Because the worst raid is always the ones in the middle of a mental break or recovering colonists.

I learned so much from this video. Thank you.

Very good video 👍 love them

Fun fact if you want to save space in your kitchen place straw flooring under the butcher's table and it will decrease the amount of filth it produces

just got this game and the dlc a couple days ago i got a pyromaniac pawn and he blew himself up but didnt destroy anything else…10/10 game

NIce list man!

Tiene tiempo que no juego Rimworld, ojala pueda este fin de semana.

I love making a walk in corpse freezer in my barns using animal flaps.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="311">5:11</a> the dirt under the main door is painful on so many levels

I always store my artillery shells with my boomalopes and batteries

save our ships 2.7 is out and up to date im sooooooo happy

Non uno pinata (no one is a pinata) prevents the hammered muffalo from dropping items

My guys have bionic arms, assault rifles, starting to get marine armor. But still eating that nutrient paste 👌

Combo Rec, dining AND your Temple. same room gets all best art. Use stone doors on outside doors you DON'T want your pawns to preference as the slower opening door time is taken into account when pawns are planning their routes. I use them to keep pawns wandering through doors I want closed but not forbidden. Make an area in deep moving water for all gear you can't burn and want to get rid of, the items will degrade quickly and thus reducing your wealth and cleaning up your base. Give slaves a joywire implant and when they rebel just toss an EMP and end the rebellion faster than the Empire. If you get a Fog generator event DO NOT complete it....instead keep the weather on your tile fixed to fog forever and never worry about flash storms again.

I'm quite sure fire can only jump one tile, so 2-wide restrictive corridor works.

that greenhouse is looking pretty sus

Highmates make great traders, if you send a fighter with them on caravans thanks to their social buff. In early game, that might be costly, but my late game caravans are so big I need two people collecting items and animals anyway.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1070">17:50</a> or use your vampire to close the wounds xD

Now make vid about organ harvesting and all usage of humans bcs yes

smokeleaf is bad for your pawns aim fyi, also can use hay flooring in kill box.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="84">1:24</a> Also works in real life..... I hope.

Thanks Noobert! I’m 250 hours in (stick a noob) and I picked up a lot from this video - I can’t believe I’ve been making stone beds and interior doors!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="143">2:23</a> don't put the butcher table in the same room as the cooking station. 😮‍💨

Do you guys start research geothermal generator as your first research project?

ZZZt events can be avoid by using hidden conduit only

Ive watched your content, for some reason your voice sounds ai generated tho-

Use climate control to lower the temperature in that room with the pigs just below zero. Turn raiders to pork meat in an efficient way with that. Also, use an intersection and stack the dead out of sight so not every pawn gets the maximum corpse debuff when entering the area.

how does one make the caravan muffalos drunk? asking for a friend 😅

I need a break from rimworld. Got 40 pawns and its overwhelming keeping up with multiple colonies. Norland releases next week

I wish I could understand what U were saying at some points

current game used up my last components building an Assembly table, at least now I can make components. Highest crafting skill pawn is at 5... Components take 8.. well F me.. time to go hunting and make hats for a while..

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1233">20:33</a> how can you build that close to the edge of the map? Isn't there usually a margin in which you can't build?

Actually as long as the filth is not over 2 on a kitchen you will not get sick because of filth so It doesn't make sense to use sterile tiles as well as taking out the butchers table, when my pawn get sick is always because of incompetent skill and not because of dirty kitchen

If you use only hidden conduids zzz event dont spawn

ARE YOU DRUNK

is this an ai voice, or does it have some sort of correction using a software, i find it so robotic and hard to understand, im esl tho.

Can anyone name the mod for the Pawn UI at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1368">22:48</a>? I love how clean and uniform it makes that tab!

>Fire jumps up to 4 tiles REALLY? I thought it was three for the longest time

bro's using an ai clone of his voice for some reason

I think this video was made using tts

Did bro use AI for his voice? I hope he's okay and just doing it to save time.

What language are you speaking at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="219">3:39</a>?

are you voicing your videos with AI?

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="847">14:07</a>

AI voice

ai noobert?

Am I crazy or is this video AI?
