I Found a Way to Defeat The Void In Rimworld 

Man what happened to that one series you had in Rimworld that was going for couple of episodes where you settled on some temp forest with actual winter as quasi vikings, had a nice defensive line to the south and you had really big battles with mechanoids?? I could swear i watched something like that on your channel but i cant find it...

love u 2

I actually managed to BREAK the VOID negotiator scripting, and haven't gotten them to go hostile on me. It involved the negotiator (quest giver guy that starts that dialogue) being downed during a fight with traders they were hostile with via being anaesthetised with the Character Editor screen. After they woke up (I removed the anesthesia, allowing the surviving trader convoy to flee off the map), it counted as me rescuing them, and they became guests at my colony (Hospitality mod). I clicked them in the Guest tab and sent them away, dismissing them as I don't want guests until I have good accommodations for them (a low priority overall). They left peacefully. I'm currently on day 35 or so, made noticeable progress on the base and defenses. Nowhere near ready to repel VOID grade attackers, but decent. AND VOID IS STILL NEUTRAL TO ME. The 30 day countdown for me to get the f*ck off their planet never started, and hence it never had cause to expire to begin with. I'm ready to expand at a more leisurely pace, run a lucrative organ harvesting operation (Harvest Everything, Death Rattle, Less Arbitrary Surgery, VGP Garden Medicine), build an army of hybrid creatures (Vanilla Genetics), mechanoid bois (Mechanoid Foundry), experiment with modded psycasting and RimWorld of Magic classes, build an army, a fortress, expand my Empire mod settlements. Then, I will out-VOID the VOID, and make their augmentation program look like Baby's First Bionics, and their military, a bunch of cub scouts.

Or you could ally with them

you beat him wiith a kenshi killbox catlon salutes you

your anti-laser phasma armour can't stand against a 5kg cannonball hurling at you at 300kmh

what's this fancy shield gonna do against three grapeshots? Nothing? Thought so.

No matter how good your infantry armor gets it can't take the impact of a mounted weapon. Now, compared to an autocannon a black powder sphere is pretty slow, but if it hits you it's going to ruin your day regardless.

@@TooFewSecrets Yeah, you can make armors to deal with explosions or energy but no amount of armor can stop pure metal from killing infantry outside of a vehicle.

I've had troops before capable of beating VOID-cu-cks in hand to hand. 6 of my melee specialists vs 6 VOIDtards on an Item Cache mission. One of my guys loses one leg, holding off 2 VOID guys at the same time for 15 precious seconds, while the other 5 gank the other 4. As soon as one enemy falls, my victorious guys are dogpiling on the closest enemy, and downing them, and so on. I'm smacking them with Rimworld of Magic abilities all of this time. And I WIN. 1 downed, several wounded on my side versus 2 dead 4 downed for VOID. And my guys weren't even at their maximum possible augmentation level. They just had very good melee skills (20 or near 20), Supreme Melee, Melee Damage and Speed mods, nanomachine melee weapons (Archotech Expanded), Expanded Prosthetics and Organ Engineering advanced bionics, No More Lethal Damage Threshold mod, Death Rattle (these two to avoid stupid deaths), Rimworld of Magic Classes (two Shadows, two Monks, two Psionics), and all of it was pre-Ideology and pre-Biotech. What some people call "elite" in terms of augmentation, training and equipment, I call "entry level". I demand results from my troops. I demand the best. And I get it.

@@mirceazaharia2094 ok

@@mirceazaharia2094 cool, personally i just build the cannons

@@mirceazaharia2094 ok but who asked?

@@mirceazaharia2094ok.

And if you manage to butcher it the meat comes with the debuff to mood if eaten.

@@Canaris3 how bad of a debuff?

@@wilddara2792 iirc -5 mood because muh strange meat but dont quote me on that.

Note to self: stop eating the Nerotonin-4 mutants. They taste like crap anyway. Make them into kibble instead.

@@mirceazaharia2094 maybe try to smoke it? Or salt it? It made wonders with insect meat, making it almost undistinguishable with proper meat, maybe it will help with nerotonin-4 mutants?

I would say it happens to most Rimworld players. Once I thought the same, having 12 pawns, 10 androids and nuclear missiles. And when I was at my highest point, mechanoid raid coupled with infestation and solar flare did a number on me resulting in reactor meltdown and my big ass ammunition storage exploding and setting fire to a quarter of the base.

@@damix128 Randy would be proud of that moment.

​@@damix128 Not me! I only say it when I know I am! And when I mean I know I am I mean when have atleast 1 pawn with op armour, best implants (so for example rn I have 1 pawn with full void bionics and all the implants + implants you can buy from void with the only thing I lack being their serums that make someone nigh immortal and the other one that gives them infinite lifespan) or I have SNS installed because all it takes is some cosmic

fuckin' thanos wannabees lmao

I think the point is that you can't leave, and they know it too

I mean, considering that they come from the Dead Frontier universe, where the best armor and weapons are literally made of rotting human flesh, and they liberally inject samples of the zombie virus to heal from small scratches, seems pretty in-character.

sounds like debt collectors

@@DiamondAppendixVODs yes it does😂

Ah, but that's the beauty of it, they aren't merciful. At all.

thanks

I agree

Same here bro , agreed that Rarr is entertaining for sure

Hidden hediff that decomposes them super fast.

I feel like at this point it can be explained by tech incompatibility. When everyone is wearing anti-laser armour noone has any defence from grapeshot. Kinda like Bismarck got destroyed by WW1 era swordfishes because it wasn't able to target them.

Back on 1.2, I did a playthrough with void and CE and revia race (basically anime foxgirl with that big number scaling for their sacrifice mechanics) I installed the op one just because I think the girls would finally beat those fancy purple man and their birth control pills that grows your limbs back from oblivion. And have I mentioned I play on igor for those juicy double damage? So this is the story, everything went well for the first 30 days, no void raids, just their big fancy abomination roaming around nothing much. Then the first void raid happens, they caused solar flare, dropped off right in the middle of my farm, have a fight with one of my fancy fox waifu, get annihilated. I was overjoyed "finally, I beat the void" or so I thought. Days goes on and here we are at year 5 of my fancy fox waifu colony, I gor bored ans decided to go dev mode and summon the max value void raid. Unsurprisingly, the guys come with high numbers along with their big fancy abominations. Needless to say my fox waifu was outnumbered, they managed to kill some of their abomination. In that very moment, I realized that there is no way to win this and it is already too late to retreat or even run. So I decided to just let them stand their ground being overrun and outnumbered, facing those fancy abomination blade to blade. One by one of those fancy abomination started to fall, and my hope arise "we can win this" or so I thought. But RNGeesus said otherwise, one of my fancy waifu has broken down, running in panic and get shot straight to her brain and caused her immediate death then as usual, igor and his mischief just send the void reinforcement and the rest is history.

For me CE with void basically forces into a early nomad run. stay on the run for a while, collecting weapons armor and equipment from small raids (preferably from the other chicken plucker factions and mods v.o.i.d is meant to be played with (like rimmu nation task force 141 and war mongrels)) while researching and robbing as many ancient dangers as possible. Basically grinding out before settling and meeting void.
