A Blood sucker with Bloodlust : Rimworld Anomaly Ep5

This new recruit has me on edge, I just know they are going to do something bad. It's just a question of when and my patience is terrible. But turning Peshet into a vampire just seemed so obvious, totally fits her character.

The Kid's bedroom and classroom both being adjacent to the Ghoul containment room can't possibly end in tragedy. Randy would never do that to you....

[@gonathi117]

"randy would never" lmao, surely

"I'm not sure Vampires can breast feed" *From the other room*: "What the f**k are you watching?!?"

[@tyraelpl]

The Baby: "Mom, what's that sound coming from the constantly closed classroom next to ours?" Mom: "That? Oh, that's where nosy kids go."

[@TsoudoName]

The nature of this colony and the fact Peshet has bloodlust leads me to believe that not only does the Baby know about the ghoul, but part of the lesson plan is poking it with a stick.

[@tyraelpl]

AND getting a Thrumbo to self tame? Lucky run.

[@FrancisJohnYT]

To much good luck from Randy makes me nervous, it means he's saving up the bad luck to gift it all at once. If Randy is being kind it's only to distract you from the anvil about to fall on your head.

[@Talon323]

I do love that the classroom is right next to one of the unimaginable horror containment rooms.

[@sha0linjr]

Francis is In need of a mod called "Dumbshit follow this kid". Any modders up to the task? 🤣🤣

[@OverworkedITGuy]

Real talk though, a "Babysitter" mod would be cool. Basically assign a teenager or adult to a kid the way we can assign animals to pawns.

[@Adirelle]

There is a guard mod that let you assign a pawn to escort another pawn. I do not know if it would work with ghouls though.

[@OverworkedITGuy]

@@Adirelle If you're talking about the one he literally tried in this video, it apparently doesn't work with melee units.

[@smoothkid765]

@@OverworkedITGuy you can technically assign a trained animal to follow around a child, no? bear or megasloth could be muy stronk

[@OverworkedITGuy]

@@smoothkid765 Yes, but that's not the same as having an actual colonist or ghoul to guard the kid. The Bodyguard mod does it, but for some reason only allows it with ranged weapon using pawns. That's the problem.

[@Irokusion]

Suggestion is to make "Don't trust me" a name that will change after some time, like farming Francis trust: -Don't trust you (0 - 3 month) -Still don't trust you (3 - 6 month) -Barely trust you (6 - 9 month) -Trust you? (9 - 11 month) -Patreon name (1 year)

You can select 2 anomaly research topics at the same time. 1 from basic and 1 from advanced and do both simultaneously.

[@TTnarg1]

You can use both types of study to research basics quicker but if you just research advanced then you are wasting basic study.

[@Yoldark34]

Thanks for the video !! You can maybe output the freezer AC hot side into your base to avoid wasting energy to heat the place in this cold tile :P

[@chaosstripe9446]

Not a bad call honestly

[@Sytesh]

Yea I left the same comment on the last video. Doesn't seem like it would ever get too hot in the base for it to be an issue.

[@geraldp8022]

1) I love you looking at a nearly pitch black screen "why is everyone shooting so poorly?" 2) Could the ghouls restricted zoning have over ridden the guard mod? 3) I wonder how gene mods and ghouls interact.

[@SaneTrinity]

you can make some very good genes for ghouls, mood debuff , sleepy, skill losses and etc are nullified by by being a ghoul, and all positive things except active skill (like fire breath) still work.

It's sad and disturbing how disturbed so many humans are simply by seeing the natural human form. I get your talking about cut up people but that's beside the point. it wouldn't be the same if it was fingers you were alluding to. I think we're in the midst of some sort of prudism pandemic where the norm is to be mentally ill like this. A healthy minded person wouldn't be effected simply by seeing another person uncovered. It wouldn't be of any note. We're messed up.

[@smoothkid765]

For your occultist: I would keep poking around with medical inspections until you inspect a body part with a surgical scar. I'm not spoiling anything and I genuinely don't know what Don't Trust is capable of, so better safe than sorry.

“You’re a hat” FJ again

[@edgarasruksenas4911]

FJ little bit rusty on Rimworld :) 1. Kid can sleep with his mother at the same room and it still be considered as a bedroom 2. Don't keep stone chunks in baraks, its bad for beauty 3. Remove all unesesery floors on the map, lowers wealth, good for skill and materials 4. Don't keep cheep raw materials inside, just cloging the storedge 5. Build greenhouse araund vent hole, and plant mushrooms to feed animals and blood bags

[@r3dp9]

The floor wealth might have been fixed in 1.5, not sure.

[@OverworkedITGuy]

The closest vent is not really close enough to be a viable option at this time. And by the time it could be usable, he wouldn't need to use the vent.

[@basbekjenl]

On the anomaly research tab in the bottom left it says active projects. When people say you can have 2 projects active at once this is what they mean, one basic and one advanced. One from the right side and one from the left side. Advanced research points are gained from advanced anomalies like the revenant. This is why so many people are mentioning it over and over, at least that is what I think, I could be wrong but I thought I explain their repeated shouts with an actual explanation.

Remember that if you need space, parents and their children can share the same bedroom without it counting as a barracks. Bare in mind that nobles with bedroom requirements don't like sharing their room with their children (seems like an oversight due to their room counting as a barracks despite the fact that it isn't)

Tired of children not learning? ~There's a mod for that~ Learning Threshhold for Job Learning Fix by Skye. Changes learning threshhold from 90% to 99%, so kids will stay focused on learning.

Adds a button to the sanguophage ability list that makes them find their deathrest location on their own. Amazing QoL when you have 3+ vampires. There's a reason I have 150+ mods on my list that are "Just QoL, I swear!" Maybe don't ask how loose my definition of "QoL" has gotten.

[@ShadowWolfTJC]

Dear Francis: Let's not rush to unlock the next tier of anomalies until you've gotten yourself a reasonably-developed base set up, with a functional killbox. Those anomalies within the next tier are high enough in threat complexity to rival the likes of taking out entire mech clusters, sieges, or infestations. Plus, you'll need more means of generating fire, and it also wouldn't hurt to get some more psycasts and advanced gear. In short, be prepared to fight a war against these anomalies before advancing to the next tier.

[@r3dp9]

Also, if you check the entity codex (as seen on the fallen monolith, or by clicking on any anomalous creature), you'll see that the Revenant there is listed as 'Advanced'.

[@ShadowWolfTJC]

You have to be careful about checking the tooltips for each creature. With the zombie-things, smaller zombies can be contained by the cold, but larger zombie things are not. Could be an oversight, could be intended.

[@baumgarm42]

As others have said, you can (and should) have a basic anomaly research project and an advanced anomaly research project running concurrently. You should reeeeeally get those bioferrite harvesters up. They increase the containment requirements for the entity by 15 points, and both of your containment rooms are more than strong enough to keep the entities securely contained even with the penalty. The thing is, bioferrite is hard to get, and needed in moderate quantities, which means the only way to have enough is to start generating it early, continuously, and from as many entities as you can reasonably manage. Future-Francis will appreciate it if you get that ghoul and revenant harvesting ASAP. I think you're really going to like having another one (or two or three or...) ghoul around. Aside from being superb tanks, because their only need is hunger, they make a great source of muscle for low-stakes operations. Need to maul a bunch of deer to death for hunting? Send the ghoul squad to do it; no need to pull valuable colonists away for it. Is there a mad wolf on the map threatening your kid's nature running? Let the ghouls tear it apart while everyone else catches up on sleep. Anyway, having a great time with the series so far, Francis. Good luck on the Rim!

when you select a basic research it clearly states (in the grey section) all advanced research counts towards Basic research. youre not wasting it. however you kind of are, because you can research both advanced and basic item at the same time. and you will get A LOT of entities that will give basic research if you go that route.

Hey francis, i just wanted to ask do you know the small mod, Pick up and haul, by Mehni, it allows you force pawns to pick up items into their inventory, great for hauling, normal pawns can usually carry three slag chunks and then haul one, i find it usefull for hauling a whole cargo pod drop sometimes. Also Im almost 100% certain that randy has missed you, we know you missed him, you curse and thank him in every game you play.

Get metabolism down to the least food. Training: Tough, Jogger, Brawler ...then install a nuclear stomach!

[@wolfen210959]

I feel you have too many open doors to the outside, which is how that donkey wandered in, bypassing your trap corridor, and helped itself to your packaged survival meals (34:07). You really should build a better trap corridor, 2 tiles wide, with fences placed diagonally to the traps, which allows your pawns to slalom down the corridor without touching the traps, if you fence off the entrance to the trap corridor, it will prevent most animals from entering your base, but most raiders will still head straight for the traps. At the very least, only have one route into your central room, at the moment you have two, which is a valid route for any raiders who appear, even if you were to close one of the doors after they appear, the newly closed door will become an attack target because it was open when they first appeared. Don't forget that the invisible entities can open doors, which can give you advanced warning, unless they decide to just wander through one of your open doors. Raider AI has been altered, they have no interest in your bedrooms now, they will target pawns first, and furniture or other stuff, including walls and doors, if they can not "see" a pawn. You have been extremely lucky so far, with a visit from only one invisible entity, but they usually travel in packs, and you don't always get advanced warning when they appear on the tile, so you will need to build multiple detectors, covering as much area as possible. I am trying not to spoil anything for you, but be very careful of the monument, it can be extremely dangerous. Good luck. :) Edit.... As some commentors have recommended, "Pick up and Haul" is a great mod, instead of a pawn only being capable of carrying one item at a time, the mod enables them to carry up to their maximum weight capacity (35kg), so they can load multiple items, or stacks, into their inventory.

[@chaos8006]

It's funny the mods you miss on a new playthrough. I keep looking to the top right expecting the minimap. And you are absolutely correct on the hauling mod, being able to tell them "haul this now dammit!" is far too handy.

[@tomsan45]

the tailcaps are back!

[@cryochick9044]

So. Some things to note. You CAN implant xenotypes into ghouls Naked speed and robust would be great additions to any ghoul allowing it more powerful combat, robust digestion is amazing as it makes their only food source give 180% value almost halving the need for food. Just the problem is there IS a bug. Becoming a ghoul disables some genes like dependancies. So making a hussar into a ghoul is great, but making a ghoul INTO a xenotype does not have this safeguard, as ghouls can't do drugs this means if you make a ghoul into a hussar IT WILL die in 60 days from its dependancy

[@OhPleaseMeToo]

Francis uploaded? Looks like I’m taking an early lunch break at work

[@Cyenthie]

On the Topic To Ghoul or Sango? Testing...It seems ghoul serum takes away the need for hemo and deathrest as well as disabling any active abilities. Combat genes and the deathless remain. So basically, you get a super ghoul that can only die by headshot. Deathless, Fast Runner, Tinderskin, UV Sensitivity, Robust, Strong Melee, and Strong Melee Damage genes. Everything else is deactivated in some way. Superfast Wound Healing? Dunno, I don't believe it multiplies Ghoul Regeneration (100/day). But does Ghoul Regeneration stack with multiplied regular healing, still testing, and to heck with that red splattered game log!

I've seen a handful of them already but the update isn't old enough to know what the game rolls each time. I'd say its entirely fair to not trust "Dont Trust Me", the heavy bent to the occultist theme has me worried about how any coming "betrayal" is going to happen. However until then use the guy to his fullest, the double research is too good to pass up.
