Pumping up our clones : Rimworld Anomaly Ep18 

To be fair, if I had just kited a Horde of zombies into a swarm of killer robots, I'd need to change my pants too.

You know we haven't had an ONI series for a long time when Francis starts calling characters "Pawns" instead of "Dupes".

"Death isn't the handicap it used to be in the olden days, it doesn't screw your career up like it used to." ~ Lister, Red Dwarf.

1:01:00 honestly surprised Francis didn't adopt the kids to "scrape out" all their youth. 😛

"Give me the shits." - Francis, 25:25

"Kevin, I'm gonna need you to stop doing what you're doing." "Hm?" "The thing where you release one of the revenants." "Oh! Shan't." "What do you mean 'shan't', why?" "It's crucial for a bioferrite entity's enrichment!" "They'll try to kill you as soon as-" _"Enrichment."_ "Kevin, no." "Kevin yes!"

Irish ghoul, O'Shit

Lost opportunity for Toughshit!

I love how Kevin releases the entity and then proceeds to promptly shoot it in the back 🤣🤣

All I can see is a berserker ghoul just called batshit

One ghoul should definitely be called "bullshit".

"you don't have enough life in you worth draining" same

man one of the craziest things to me is that francis just never uses keyboard shortcuts...I chuckle every time he manually clicks over to de-draft his pawns...I don't think I could ever live like that :D

Kevin walked two steps forward, then he stopped. He pressed his eyes closed and frowned. IT WAS CALLING TO HIM. He knew it was wrong to go there. He knew. Or was it? Opening his eyes again, he realized he stood right in front of the heavily enforced door. How had he gotten there? It was the voice in his head. The voice whispering sweet things and making promises. But the voice was wrong. Or was it? He wished it would stop, just be quiet for one moment. Just ... so he could concentrate. Kevin watched as his hands carefully released the restraints of the revenant, which was shivering in ... excitement? He couldn't tell, but Kevin was excited, too. THIS, this was his purpose. This was his ... Kevin frowned as he watched the revenant glide towards the reinforced door. He felt like he was awakening from a dream ... a very very bad dream. What had he done? Cursing, Kevin raised his gun and started shooting the revenant. That thing was dangerous, why ... why had he released it? Kevin didn't know anymore. He just hoped the cavalry was ready for what was gliding through the now open door of the containment facility.

You need to add genes to your ghouls - they have very interesting mechanics, because they are intrinsically immune to all of the drug dependencies and mood penalties, so you can make a killer xenogerm to apply to them. And you can apply those AFTER ghoul has been created too. Consider this, tough ghoul with following genes: - very fast speed - naked speed - toxic immunity - fire resistance - strong melee - robust - unstoppable

5:10 Putting the large Mech Gestator in front of the guest beds is so funny, as they require brain scans to build mechs.

The next ghoul should be named:FullOfShit

Toughshit

They may have patched it, but the last time I did ghoul operations, it needed medicine for anything other than the ghoul specific implants You need to name a ghoul Kenny, Each time he dies you can say "Oh my god, you killed Kenny!" For the distress signal, there was an entire building right near where your pawns entered the map that you completely ignored ... Manhunter pulse is now my favorite niche psycast You could replace the human leather slave collar with a bioferrite slave collar for it's boost to psychic sensitivity. In fact you may want to start distributing those to your other psycasters too.

Looks like YannersMashine. Psychically hypersensitive - check. Brain damage - check. Nobody is going to worry about - check!

If you want, there is a mod called 'Tweak Galore" that is basically a bajillion QoL mods merged into one. There is a bunch of settings to tweak a lot of stuff, from stopping steel from burning to allowing you to see the stat of "Incident Pawns" (Those that call for help but refuse to tell about themselves). The one you might like though, is "Disable Damage Threshold", it removes the 150 damage threshold where pawns instantly dies, and instead make it so that pawns can only die of an actual cause, like getting their brain turned into a milkshake. Do be aware that it also applies to enemies pawns, so you might find that raiders become a lot tankier (But I personally didn't notice).

To deal with the problem with the injury cap, i recommend the mod "No More Lethal Damage Threshold". Because base game if tou take x amount of injuries you just keel over. This stops that.

Found a cool trick to training medical: (1) Install a Peg Leg on a Ghoul (2) Remove Peg Leg (3) Leg will Re-Grow (4) Rinse (5) Repeat. (6) Profit

16:43 The next time you do one of those ancient dangers, put enough components and chemfuel in the transport pod to build an outpost with wha steel/stone blocks you scavenge from the area. That way you can set up a ritual spot, transmitter beacon, transport pod and launcher along with power generation and turn the entire area into clusterf**k for whatever hostiles are inside should they prove nasty enough. call Shamblers, Draw maddened Animals, Diabolus-- fill your boots. Because if you manage to clear it out, deconstruct everything and call in a shuttle-- just imagine the jackpot.

Oof and condolences on that Distress Signal. 1 shard is rough, and quite literally the lowest roll possible. I don't think I've ever got less than 2. My average is 3. But I've also found Archotech parts a few times now at the Empire sites. So they are always worth checking out. Can I offer some advice for those? Bring a couple turret packs, flares, and flamethrowers (Incinerators). My strategy is to never even take a scratch because those scratches can be Metal Horror infection vectors. The turret packs act as a distraction AND explosive. Flamethrowers up front and a psyfocus guy with Flares and Skip at the back. The Anomaly monsters take 300% fire damage.

28:30 thanks I hate it.

Congrats on 100.000 🥳🥳🥳

Bullshit is missing....

Im still voting for a Ghoul named Hodor :D "Hold the door! Hold the door!"

I'm assuming the next Shit is either Holyshit, Horseshit, Bullshit, or Noshit.

You could always try the draw flesh beasts or psy provocation rituals for shards

what about batshit goes he gos crazy

Of course Peshet gonna change her pants, she just had to pull a bunch of zombies to a mech horde. That pants is full with piss&shit (pun intended) also blood from the yet tended wound. You might want to turn one of your prisoner into vampire as an age sink as vampire are ageless.

1:01:19: I feel like Francis said sorry more out of social expectation than any actual empathy.

Thank you for the episode numbers!

"We're getting a new recruit." Another mandatory volunteer? Why does FJ's Rimworld remind me so much of the RPG Paranoia?

Perfect upload timing, my brain just started to crave some barely controlled chaos.

Hey Francis, i love your vids, they always got me laughing and after my wife died (she was 39 years old) a month ago, Its a place where i can "forgot" to my loss (we were together for 20 years) for an hour or so. Thank you and keep be yourself.

i would timidly nominate some names for future ghouls: 1) if a ghoul was to ever be a cleric or saint: "holy shit" 2) a tribute to Beastie boys/Prodigy: " funky shit" 3) (just breaking the mold a bit) a female jogger called "Diarrhea". Could be "runny shit" ,too. I would prefer the Greek name though, due to..... reasons. That have nothing to do with my ethnic background. no honestly. Nothing at all. Neither Beavis and Butthead.

we'll need a "WeakShit" / "TheShit" / "Full-Of-Shit"

I like jack shit, but if more ghouls are in the cards I vote for Deep Shit and Oh Shit.

i dont get why you lance the termite. its very weak, you should target a centipede and just deal with the termite with guns

Game: Infestation Francis: Oh, the dream has ended Me: _Or begun_

"Please welcome JackShit to the team". huh..... don't know him.

If we keep watching the whole thing, will you keep making them longer?

OhShit, NoShit, HolyShit, BadShit, BatShit, NastyShit, HotShit. I wonder what the algorithm is going to make of all this......

Wonder if the imperials are like "What the hell are these people doing that they go through nobles this fast"

HolyShit! =)

wasn't sure about the hediff mod at first, but I can't lie it's growing on me. I might even download it in my playthrough.

- I'd make a Gene Extractor sooner rather than later and you can start extracting genes from captives. Some suggested ones to aim for. 1. Robust: Can get from Yttkin (and you have several on hand) and Sanguaphages. Can give to DS Prime and many other Pawns. 2. Strong Melee: Can get from Yttkin, Sanguaphages, Neanderthals and Dirtmoles. Can give to DS Prime. 3. Very Fast Runner: Can get from Impids. 4. Super Fast Wound healing: Can get from Hussars and Sanguaphages. 5. Great Shooting: Can get from Hussars. 6. Great Melee: Can get from Hussars. 7. Great Crafting: Can get from Genies. 8. Great Mining: Can get from Dirtmoles. 9. Elongated Fingers: Can get from Genies. - Can get Awful Plants, Awful Animals, Awful Artistic and Awful Social from Hussars. Can get Awful Animals from Wasters and Awful Social from Genies. - You can get Cool Resistant from Hussars and Neanderthals, but Cool Super Resistant seems to need to be bought. - There's a bunch of negative traits you can give your prisoners to help keep them in line (weak melee, delicate etc). - You may want to make pawns attractive, since giving them Kind would be strange given that most are psychopaths. The alternative is to just roll with all these social fights.

Considering the amount of uranium generated by the transmute steel ability, Uranium slug turrets might actually be viable now.

I used Compact Hediffs a while back. I didn't really get used to it, and I found the performance was worse with a lot of minor injuries. Not really a fan. And yes, there's a few mods that remove the damage limit. I'm not a fan of the damage limit.

Given that no one wants to be over the age of 25, I guess their god must be Leonardo Di'Caprio. They get mad when they realize they're too old for him. Makes sense, its a mostly female colony.

before attuning the monolith you should provoke the void to(hopefully) send you some gorehulks. easy to contain and give plenty of bioferrite when harvested. a must if you plan to get into bioferrite-burning machinery

I recommend referring to the beautiful Shit family genealogy featured a the end of last episode as the Schitt family genealogy, since you seemed to struggle with describing Jack Shit and his name. Any similarity to common idioms is surely a coincidence. ;)

It is sooo funny from francis accidentally discovering an royalty permit exploit with death refusal

Sort of falling behind on the void study/provocation right? Those flesh-beasts aren't the spiciest the void has to offer...

My opinion is that, you're the one playing the game. If Compact Hediffs makes it easier for you to see what's happening to your pawns and you get used to is, then stick with it :D we'll get used to it too.

I would vote for TakeNoShit as a ghoul melee god

It is either Diaboli or Diabolu as plural of Diabolus. It depends of the correct latin declenation. I would say it is o-declenation and not u-declanation and must be Diaboli and not Diabolu. But Diabolus as plural doesn't fit the latin language.

I nominate "Shit4Brains" for the next ghoul, seeing as they have zero skills apart from fighting. :)

try and fill in the pits before the ambush. I think the ambush is triggered by proximity to the center of the map/camp

The distress signal missions are supposed to be a mess. There are even beds so you can recover from grievous wounds, which I’ve definitely done a few times.

You should try the incinerator weapons! If nothing else the graphics look cool

next war machine could be mystery machine after scooby doo Van, kinda fits with anomaly lol

You can also use EMP grenades to stun and reveal the Revenants. Don't know about firefoam but it reveals them too if I remember correctly. I don't know if you could rotate through flares, emp and stun to lock the Revenants in place. Still waiting for them to mess you up during something large

30:31 Oh, wow. It's been a week of Francis doing funny stuff with his voice

Pretty sure I got some loot from breaking random flesh walls.

The newest one should be RogueMachine, since they spawned hostile

My first name is Jack... I approve. Jackshit😂

Another episode in less then a day! Congrats on 100K subs 🎉

make a SmartShit

The medical mod is awful. Pls remove it.

May I suggest "tough shit" for the new ghoul?

Does Lucy need go away when a Pawn dies? Thinking about the SWAT series with the health swap and addiction transfer. Game might let you keep the Lucy bonus but get rid of the need?

5:02 the clone wars Rimworld style!!

I think the clear name is "Tough Shit"

Any chance we can get a ghoul called WellShit?

You fight fleshbeast you bring fire

Can you use the Chronophagy on a ghoul? They don't age on their own, nor do they seem to die. So, would draining some years out of them have any effect on them?

Another great day.

Dog Shit is a possibility

31:27 USE THE WATER SKIP OMG

Pointless Comment

loving the hediff mod 👍

Not gonna lie, I don't like the new health UI, after staring at the vanilla one for 1000+ hours myself I don't really feel the mod. Also, the loot table for these flesh bulb/sack things is quite interesting, I got an archotech eye out of one.

btw you can cancel the scarification ritual at 51% and do it with two pawns, gets you the scar without the mood (de-)buff

I love the thought of Peshet bleeding out one of her legs insisting that changing pants before getting medical attention is the correct call despite it probably soaking her new pants with blood (this was not so secretly her goal the whole time).

would be funny if the clones picked a social fight with their progenitor.

Fine

I hate the new health tab. Please put it back.

Compact hedriff is great to tell which body part almost got blown off!

Compact Hediffs 28:00 FJ is skeptical of Compact Hediffs 28:40 Limb healthbars. 29:10 Determine cause of death. 44:20 Immunity. 50:45 Blood loss. I think I got him. More mods for the mod throne! Misc 36:00 I finally realized why FJ wants a diabolus. I'm guessing he wants three. 44:30 1500 gold is gross. That's 15k silver, BEFORE turning it into statues. 48:00 Does Healing Factor stack significantly with Unnatural Healing?

Still waiting for more stuff with the shits. Maybe restrict their area to the wind turbines, so shit can hit the fan. Also we need more of them: HolyShit CrazyShit BullShit NoShitSherlock MrHanky (AdolfShittler)? ..... mayyyybee that one is wrong but for rimworld okay?

Btw you should give war machine a bioferrite collar. bioferrite gear (and swords) give up to x1.2 psychic sensitivity each (can get absurd with full bioferrite gear)

You are definitely dropping the ball on mini turret packs. They draw aggro, do damage, and are force multipliers off map. I use compact hediffs on all my runs. Much improved over base hediffs. Ghoul Prime is actually helping greatly when they die. As it counts as a colonist death, the adaption factor kicks in for 15 days. Couldn't understand why the imp raid was so small. I hate your stockpiles with a passion. Zero order.

Petition to name the new duplicate Traumachine (also, what about Apeshit/Chickenshit/Dogshit etc for the ghouls? So many options)

I don't know why but, after reading all the comments about Ghoul names, the only name I can think for one is Oliver Twist. But converting a kid gives poor stats. And renaming the 14 years old Ghoul again doesn't seem correct.

The flarepacks stun, you can spam those when you're having entity issues (like those toughspikes you had to bottleneck)

Weird, I can't find a comment. For those curious as to why Compact Hediffs wasn't showing blood loss, it's because there's been very little bleeding in this episode. Ghouls don't bleed, armor turns bullet wounds into bruises, etc. You can see some bleeding at 34:34, it's the red bar at the top of the health tab. The only reason blood loss wouldn't be sorted at the top (by default, check mod settings) is if a more serious injury is above it.
