I have waited a loooooong time for someone to explain this game, most youtubers and their fanbase HAVE to use mods & hardest settings and expect viewers to know what the hell they're talking about. Thank you so much and great explanations too.

@seeess925 Год назад

Yes. I don't really mind harder difficulty settings that much. But adding in mods is super obnoxious.

@GewelReal Год назад

cope

@TravMenace Год назад

after finally picking up this game and putting about 200hrs into it, the mods are necessary. the game is a great skeleton but there's a fair amount of gaps that can't be plugged without even a handful of mods. you'll come to find this out on ur own if/when u play

@arthas640 Год назад

I actually like grand strategy games and management games to have an easier setting and a slower pace and for more complicated games it's also nice since it lets you figure out more by watching lets plays. The lack of DLC and mods is also great since with some games the DLC radically changes game play (I love Paradox games but the all the DLC can double the game play or radically change how the game is played).

@rustyhowe3907 Год назад

I have found this very problem endlessly, one simply can't learn a game when the only answer offered is "there's a mod for that". I've nothing against mods personally but the hell are we supposed to 'git gud' when we're expected to use mods to problem solve the basics?

@Mathmachine 2 года назад

I accidently started one of my first sorta successful colonies with one pacifist pawn.. LOL. I learned after that to keep an eye on the traits.. I didn't want to start over with new pawns because I had already needed to start over 5 times while learning the game. So, that pacifist pawn is my crafter/hauler/cooker, basically a stay at home pawn. This game is really interesting. My first hour or so, I tried cannibalism, took a prisoner who refused to join my colony, and everybody ended up dying because we ran out of food after one of my pawns decided to eat every single packaged meal that landed on the planet with us.

I tried to start playing Rimworld again after a year+ of not playing and forgot how hard it is, and that I'm bad at it. Thank you for this!

@corentinboxho 2 года назад

Hey there! I've been playing a lot of Rimworld from beta 19 to version 1.2... I was put off by some aspects of 1.3 (mostly the breach raids) and by the Ideology expansion (which everyone seems to love but to me, looks mostly like easy mode for cannibal gameplay encased in more mood constraints overall!) So it's nice to see someone come back to the basics, as much as possible. 👍 Just 1 correction in your explanation about memory: if I remember correctly, the pawns only start to lose their XP if the unused stat is higher than 10... 🤔

@snafu2350 2 года назад

09:51 Interestingly perhaps, a pawn that has a skill 8+ can do most if not all jobs requiring that skill, so well worth grabbing even if they don't have the passion; OK they'll learn a fair bit slower, but still extremely useful. Animal handling requires skill 10+ to tame the rarest & most dangerous beasts (eg Thrumbos, rhinos etc), so perhaps not the best example, but they can still gain a fair bit of XP from simply looking after lots of animals even if they never tame the top tier. Crafters can make components at L8; cooks can make packaged survival meals at that level, etc etc 14:37 IIRC pawns won't start losing skill until over 10 (or at least, 'skill rust' is a lot slower at 10 or below), so it's less of a critical point.. esp at the beginning when all 3 (or 5 if tribespeople) will be incredibly busy 21:22 It's best to leave bed rest at 2 as then pawns will get up & feed themselves as necessary, freeing up a doctor's potential task (if left at 1 they'll likely starve to death if no doctor feeds them): save priority 1 in that category if it's super time-critical they stay in bed to get rid of extreme illnesses etc 26:55 Feeb would be a much better melee pawn than Voort: bloodlust is good for melee as well as her double passion for it & Voort has a higher shooting skill plus a passion (albeit only single).. and they're a psycho, which while not quite as good as bloodlust is still pretty good in combat 29:32 If you're going to start growing rice on a tiny plot to start, at least ensure that plot is at least normal soil; it's unlikely 3 rice plants will grow here as there are 3 tiles of the plot on stony soil

@JonathanScarlet 2 года назад

9:51 Absolutely true. You are far better off in the long run securing a pawn with at least some passion, but at the very start anyone with 8+ is good (or really 6+ because that allows for fine meals, most construction jobs and at least good-quality items with a small chance for excellent). Do try to give them something with passion, though, so they won't be completely useless; or, if nothing else, make sure they can do dumb labor so they're just clean/haul-bots. You're correct re: 14:37. Units below 10 never lose skill. I'm not quite as sure about units AT lvl 10, but I know below it they never lose skill. It might be at 10, too, but 11 is definitely where they start to lose it. I believe the rate at which they lose it is also the same regardless of level, but the amount lost rises. I don't remember the specific numbers. 21:22 I've had pawns at bed rest 1 get up (so long as they can actually walk) and try to feed themselves/get recreation done, so this isn't always the case. It's still a good idea to leave it at 2 if you've only got minor scratches/burns that don't affect your walking speed/manipulation/consciousness, though, or if the unit's priorities rely on one but not the other (i.e. one has a hurt arm but can still move about fine could haul or clean or warden/handle/growing jobs, while the inverse should be kept to a small area but could keep up food or item production). 29:32 Definitely. Stony soil is basically your soil of last resort (mainly on desert tiles that don't give you a lot of regular plots), so even if it's not a nice square you're far better off crimping it to be on regular soil. IIRC some plants actually do horribly on stony soil even moreso than the fertilizer debuff, but I could be wrong. All I really care/d about is that basically only rice, strawberries, maybe potatoes and the flowers will grow at any reasonable speed on stony soil, which won't do.

@RickinICT 9 месяцев назад

FYI new watchers... there's a lot to learn about Rimworld in this series, although slightly dated by now because it was based on v1.3. However, before you get invested in the outcome, or spend 24 hours watching each episode expecting a finale like I have, be forewarned. In typical Quill style, he gets to the end game, within just one or two episodes of leaving the planet and abandons the playthrough.

@derpherpington3129 Год назад

ngl, i tend to stick with a tropical rainforest for a starting colony. as i usually play two colonies through the dev tools, i also enjoy having the two locations being a couple days out from each other. the main reason i chose rainforest is due to them generally having a literal forest of trees and a year-round grow cycle. makes winter easier to deal with when it comes to food generation.

@digifreak90 Год назад

"Ate without a table" is my least favorite mood modifier, because I've had times where, there are tables, with chairs, in every single room and the pawn will literally eat in the middle of a room (again, with a table right there) and get that modifier.

@acestillwell98 Год назад

While in many games altering a save file or using debug menus might be cheating, I believe in Rimworld it is sometimes needed, depending on how you think about it. The Dev for Rimworld considers the game more akin to a story creator, so sometimes you might have to do some custom altering to get the narrative right. For example, for a save I had some military mods installed and my 'story' was that a military group landed on the planet and the goal was defeating all hostile factions. I didn't check my starting pawns closely enough and noticed that 2 of the 3 were incapable of medical. The only that could do medical was eventually downed by a manhunting bear. While he survived the mauling, he was rapidly bleeding out. I tried to treat him but no one could do it. I had to go into the save file and edit the pawns to be able to perform medical jobs. In my head, I thought 'well these guys are trained soldiers, they should be able to perform something'. One of my first saves, I had created a small wooden hut. In the night as my pawns were asleep, a raid started. They quickly beat my pawns and left them alive on the ground. One of them tossed a Molotov onto the hut and it started burning. I watched the hut burn and eventually kill all my pawns.

@normanlandstruck3985 Год назад

Vanilla with no DLC generating 100% as opposed to 30% will actually make it harder to reach your endgame and get off the planet. The abandoned ship you need to reach to escape will be spawned much further away from your colony at 100% which drives me to just complete the research tree and build my own.

I find it kinda strange how before it was just called "Ironman Mode" (Like in Runescape, Path of Exile, and so many other old games) but they changed it to "Commitment Mode" cuz my only guess is that they were worried that the "man" part in "Ironman" could be seen like something offensive to some individuals, and they didn't want to take any chances... And even though that may have been a concern, they still went and made a DLC which adds kids. I'm not actually "dissing?" anything. I love the game and the possibilities it has. I love the fact that they integrated so much of the good mods into the game, and I don't have to bother with installing the 3-5 mods that made that possible before.
