thanks.

bro you dont know what optimised means

thanks

can you showcase your colony layout and your killboxes?

Like everyone said, the breach axe tip is godly. Disagree with your takes on drugs though. Penicillin is great if you have other money makers and spare neutramine. As for smokeleaf and ambrosia, having safe consumption intervals, means you should have all of those on hand/ scheduled in the event of an impending mental break. I'll take getting high over a mental break anyday.

I have a bit to say on the drugs mentioned haha! Smokeleaf is actually really good! It's not very addictive and is great for improving recreation and mood, so it's helpful if someone is low on recreation, say if they've been in the hospital. The two drugs I always produce are psychite tea and smokeleaf. They're also quicker to produce than alcohol and you don't have to make your pawns consume the drug multiple times (if a pawn has one beer they only get a 5+ mood boost, compared to psychite and smokeleaf which I think is like around 10+; you can ofc make the pawn drink more to get drunk, but I cbf doing this tons when smokeleaf is sufficient). As mentioned, you do need to worry about pawn death due to smokeleaf, but I just check if someone's consciousness can take it (most of the time it can). Go-juice is also really good for crafting/ doctoring since it increases manipulation! So if you need someone to quickly make a bunch of tribalwear, or your pawn is at 90% manipulation but you want them to do surgery, you can have them drink some go-juice and they'll be quicker/ have a higher chance of success.

Love this! One of the things I find funnest about RimWorld is trying to build super efficient bases/ room layouts! My workshop is actually VERY similar to yours here haha! I have all the steel, plasteel, gold and components in one place so pawns don't have to walk a long ways to gather resources, and I do this with a lot of the rooms! Same with the hospitals! I usually have a shelf stocked with medicine, a shelf stocked with drugs (coz sick people are the ones that need it most -- usually psychite/ smokeleaf here for recreation plus mood), a shelf stocked with organs, and a shelf stocked with hemogen and/ or ovums/ embryos. I also have a lot of kids in my colonies (or try to) and they're a great source of hemogen since it doesn't matter if they lose blood, since they're not gonna be in a combat situation anyways. I also liked your idea of the greenhouse, but don't see how it would work, since hops (I'm pretty sure) needs sunlight/ a sunlamp. 13x13 room for growing drugs, medicine, and cotton, with a sunlamp in the middle and a drug production/ medicine making room adjacent would be good. If you have the neutrolope mod (neutrolopes produce neutroamine), you can also have a room with a neutrolope in it and grow nutrifungus in there (Ideology) to feed it, or if you have the plants/ crops expanded mod, grow cave moss (like hay) and thus the neutrolope can provide neutroamine while living in complete darkness. Also, it's a missed opportunity you didn't include bedroom layouts/ designs, or that your kitchen/ freezer didn't have a cooking stove. Ik nutrient paste is most efficient but a lot of people don't use it! [Side note, there's a really cool mod called Vanilla Nutrient Paste Expanded where you can set up pipe systems for nutrient paste, it's great]. For bedrooms, I always do a 6x5 design (for most people) or a 6x6 for couples. The 6x5 bedroom contains a bed and a statue (either 100 or 150 beauty) and this alone can boost the room to slightly impressive. I only ever add dressers or bedside tables for aesthetics and/ or to increase the room beauty, idc about the pawn's comfort needs since a lot of them do enough sitting throughout the day already. The 6x5 bedroom is also good for children/ siblings (who don't mind sharing rooms with each other) or parents/ children (also don't mind sharing rooms). 6x5 can also fit up to three beds plus the statue so you can have three people in a slightly impressive bedroom. You can ofc also place a double bed in a 6x5, but I feel like the 6x6 is just a bit roomier for couples. AND, if you don't have statues, you can place beside tables made out of good materials (i.e. jade, or limestone/ marble), you can tile the floors, you can have good/ excellent chairs in the room (also increases beauty), and ofc the classic flower pot as well (if you have planters to spare). You can also use like, I think it's like 5 jade to make a jade fence and it has a good amount of beauty.

lol, how to complete it?

Melee specialist being poor is a hilarious thing honestly... BUT think of it this way. Ranged specialist is fantastic for an elite fighter or a battlefield commander kind of pawn. Melee specialist is a reverse of that - if you think of it as a way to give some throwaway melee goons a decent boost... It suddenly isn't that bad. As a persistent role - melee specialist is also hampered by a progression of the skill - melee skill soft-caps its accuracy at skill 10 and your dodge chance is both soft- (at about 35%) and hard-capped with a maximum of 50% Production specialist is simply the best specialist out there - period. That +1 quality is a game changer to the point I can't run colony without one. The problem with other non-essential (so any other than leader and moral guide) is that they usually do not provide anything truly unique. They can be easily substituted with other means. And many of the jobs do not take so much time to even require this kind of specialist. Research specialist massively falls off late game. Mining specialist - not only falls off late game but also can be substituted with mechanoid or bionics. Medical specialist - non-violence is just BAD... And it requires ideologies that come with some crippling downsides to begin with. Animal specialist is a special case... It is actually not bad. It is actually amazing for a themed run. If you intend to use animals in combat, this is the guy you want. A Plant specialist - you have agrihands and bionics - they make the whole role fairly redundant outside of very specifically themed runs. BUT the whole role is saved by one fact - it has an increased yield. You get more out of your fields, which is nice for compact builds.

Armour - substitute the helmet for ANY full face helmet as soon as you can. Flak helmet does not prevent headshots through face, unfortunately. The rest of the "flak'n'duster" loadout is good, but you may want bionic legs and arms with that to compensate for lacking defence there. Weapons - assault rifles are your go-to generalist weapon. All because it combines very good range Charge rifle is good BUT it has short range - in open combat it leaves you vulnerable, as decent amount of foes will outrange you and force you out of cover. 1 Charge lance per 3-4 charge rifles is usually sufficient to remedy that. Chain shotgun - best for corridor killbox and door fighting. No contest here. Minigun - easy to overlook, because of the persistent myth about "forced miss radius". This hasn't been the case since BETA. Anyway - minigun is great IF you have a high quality weapon and a very good, trigger happy shooter - from this point on, minigun becomes a true death-dealer. Charge lance - a king of underrated weapons. It is poor when used as a main weapon, but couple sprinkled among your colonists are amazing - they are good at dealing with heaviest of armour and have a very good one-shot potential. One bonus tip - Trigger-Happy vs Careful-Shooter - I did the testing and it turns out that Careful Shooter is not a detriment the popular opinion claims. Careful shooter is consistently more effective with until skill of about 16, where it starts to even out. BUT trigger-happy does not consistently overtake careful shooter until you factor in bionics and shooting specialist bonuses. Speaking of bonuses - do not disregard the Heavy Bandoleer - yes, it prevents you from wearing the outer coat, but the bonus it provides is unique. A trigger-happy shooting specialist with this on top... That is a pawn who can dish out stupid amounts of firepower.

A lot of these can be adapted to look better with only marginal loss in efficiency. That being said. Workshop layout is excessively compact, to be honest - an expandable design could be nice, in case you are adding mods. Freezer - now this is a toss up. Unless you are already completely underground/using hydroponics, you want your freezer bigger for the purpose of stockpiling food - in cases of toxic fallouts or if you live in unfriendly biome. If you are practising cannibalism, you may also want your butcher room completely separate - gear from butchered corpses tends to clog up massive amounts of space. Rec Room - you may want to throw in some more entertainment - with just chess and billard table your pawns will suffer from boredon sooner or later. Bedrooms - 5x5 design is better in my opinion for the simple reason of fitting nicely in an 11x11 universal room template, making it more conveniently expandable. Hospital - nice and compact - but it is a good idea to have enough beds for roughly half of your colonists at the time - spacing out the beds may not be most space efficient, but prevents the pawns crawling through the beds, if you have patients that require tending and decided to take the middle bed.

Little trick with the chess table. Put it in the corner of one of your dinning table and pawn can sit and eat or play chess at the same place.

These were insane!!! Never seen tips like this, amazing!

coiuld you elaborate on the barracks vs bedrooms thing please

excellent tutorial.10/10. never going to do these tips. maybe the throne room with dining room. glad i'm doing 4x4 houses with little bathrooms :) wondered if they will be big enough. thx.

I was trying to rewatch this video but couldn’t find it by searching because you wrote “𝗥𝖎𝖒𝗪𝛐𝗿𝐥𝗱” with weird characters instead of “RimWorld” 😬

Wait, ghoul can not regenerate limbs?

5000hrs in game I learnt from you thanks

I’m running a vanilla run and I have no idea what half of these items are😂

Another tip: consider using Gauranlen trees. A lot of players just neglect them, but if you dedicate one useless pawn to connect to tree and prune it from time to time, you can get 2 free dryads of your chosen cast. In my case i went with tanking dryads, which helps immensely when your colonists are mostly shooters. Just release them in fight and watch as your enemies are bogged down in melee as your colonsists shoot enemy for free. Dryads do not eat, and can self heal in a pod rather quickly from any wounds.

I just love your colony layout dude, its so unique and charming

Don't really get the idea of sunlamps, my pawns would rather eat the flesh of their enemies and wear cowboy hats made from their skin

Wow lol I didn’t know most of these

I'm definitely taking that drug lab layout and modified it for slaves.

That uranium breach axe was definitely a helper. Going to implement it next time I can because mechanoid clusters make me save scum faster than anything else I’ve seen in the game thus far.

Why would u post this lmao

good tip about Breach axes. thx bro

I always combine my hospital and my research space. I have my medical doctor also be my research pawn so they just research until a pawn needs medical assistance. Another benefit is that I can save resources on sterile flooring by making it all one space.

Another tipp for the Cannibal platter is that the junker meme gives you Deconstruct yield high allowing a 100% reclamation upon deconstruct

If your slaves escape, it's your fault they still have legs

Moral of the story kids: DO NOT SMOKE POT ! Take crack instead

Persona 5 music fire

Sorry, but I'm gonna keep my human leather for my hats and sofas thx

The medical specialist is a great role for any non-violent pawns that have an interest in medical. If you use animals to fight, they can train on the animals and rapidly gain exp. I had a colony that had elephants as their venerated animal. They kept about 40 fully trained elephants to fight. A single elephant is about as strong as a pawn in plate armor weilding a mace. So huge raids would come, get stampeded, and my medical pawn would get obscene amounts of exp afterwords. I had 2 pawns at 18+ medical within a year of them joining.

2:40 penoxicilyn can save a big colony. It's awful to fight malaria or the plage cripling your pawns when big raids come in.

nice Going Under soundtrack

What are the these adjacent rooms for? Why not put the heaters and coolers with the room itself?

Jokes on you, I edit the xml on smokejoints and make them give pawns 300x work and move speed. Don't have the time to play, so I just make supersonic schizo-stoner colonies.

These are well-considered. Nicely done!

Love your rimworld videos man

All of the tips apply to the DLC, not the basegame

Fun fact for building: bedrolls are better for room quality than beds in small rooms. ex: 2 by 3 wooden room with normal quality cloth bedroll is considered dull, which means 0 negative mood debuffs for the room (since they wont spend time in it outside of sleeping)

Ngl smokeleaf is not that bad it an easy drug to make and giving depandency to it to colonist is a relatively low risk maneuver

The Paste for throne room and ideology room was cool will be stealing that!

Smoke in turrent and sun lamp for devil textile for cold bio nice

these arent ips, these are cheeses. go to hell

A bunch of them is based on the anomaly dlc i only have the royaltie ideologie biotech

I feel like there should be a psycastwr specialist that comes with the psychic focus meme. Along with better passive stats for psyfocus, an ability to grant a psylink once a quadrum or two would be interesting, especially for empire playthroughs.

Wouldn't say beer is useful. Tea def

Appreciate the videos man, writing down some tips and stuff I egt from you, keep it up and earned yourself a sub
