Tips here for clarification: 1:45 Permanent summer also means that you are in infinite growing season, meaning that you never have to live off of crop storage in fear of running out of food. It makes the food survival aspects of the game trivial. You always have a near-guaranteed crop if it won't just randomly freeze due to an early cold front. 1:50 Staying warm is easier than cooling off except in special circumstances (Ice sheet). Staying cool is very hard if a *naked* colonist is still overheating (this happens in extreme deserts or during heat waves in regular deserts and rarely in shrubland) You have to acquire things like cowboy hats and dusters to stay cool-er than naked (broke back mountain logic) 1:25 Pemmican is *not* a good food source. It is highly inefficient. It's only good for food storage for tribal tech who don't have access to refrigeration or for caravans who can't refrigerate. The other exception I can think of would be when you have far too much meat and it's filling up your freezer, or an event disabled your power. 5:30 You correctly surmised that he brought the chunks with him when he was sleepy. In the "final" patch for release, they updated it so that colonists will do a quick search for nearbye items that need hauling close to their destination when they go to perform a task. 10:21 6 in construction is not "very very strong" it's par for the course. Usually 5 is considered "Ok" and 10 is considered strong in a skill, and 15+ is very strong. 10:55 The Ibex are eating the cotton. You need to build fencing of some kind if you want to keep animals out of your fields. Also, keep your cows out of your fields too. 16:10 Don't treat wounds in the dark. It vastly reduces quality which, for infections, vastly increases the chance of the person not living through their infection. 24:55 One of the easiest ways to lose early is to pursue smokeleaf before you can defend your base effectively. Smokeleaf drastically raises the value of the colony which attracts large, well-armed raids.

for upping medical: replace prisoners feet with wooden feet, then replace legs with wooden pegs, and you can actually remove wooden legs and keep putting them back on to continue upping medical. you do have a chance of failing and hurting the prisoner or even killing them, but if you don't want the prisoner in the first place that doesn't really matter. oh and if you leave off one of the legs, the prisoner will stay in bed and then they cant have mental breaks. healroot only needs level 8 plants to be able to grow, and your pawn is at level 5, you just needs to do a little more leveling and you can get a good source of herbal medicine. you can also look around the map to see if any wild healroot has spawned and if so that can be harvested at any level of plants. you should also think about walling off your planting areas and making them not roofed in to protect them from animals for upping social: you can just continuously reduce a prisoners resistance even after its hit zero. for pemmican: it can be made from any edible meat (including milk) and any edible plant and lasts for 70 days when not refrigerated for colonists:try to avoid people who cant do dumb labor as that means they cant cut plants, haul, or clean. also as you get more and more colonists your colony's wealth will increase, which will mean more and harder raids and such. also try to avoid people with addictions or chemical interests as a withdrawal from an addiction is a serious mood penalty, which will very quickly lead to problems.

Just a warning about digging into mountains.

@@Sgtassburgler Its random. Its one of the rarer events [as rare as anything can be with Randy Random]. Its one of the harder events cause an infestation popping up inside your base can easily lead to a wipe since they hit like trucks and the confined, close quarters of a base make it very hard to deal with them. Also, on Infestations, outside of building fridges, if you make 'caves' inside other mountains, you can lower the chance of an infestation popping up in your base as it will randomize where they come up, so by making artificial caves, they can spawn in them instead which is considerably better then spawning in your base.

Two tips I can give you. Giving your colonists a schedule. How I usually set it up is 7 hours of sleep (because most of the time they sleep till they are fully rested anyway) 3 hours of recreation and 2 before they go to bed, then I just have the rest as work. It usually works really well for me. I also love the nutrient dispenser, it uses less food each meal, you don't need a cook thus removing the annoyance of food poisoning. And the small cost of mood is so worth it. I would highly recommend you using it as food. I hope these two very basic tips will help you survive the harsh Rimworld :D Also I am very much enjoying your videos so keep up the great work :3

[@sambeets7871]

@@ambiguousamphibian Blood and vomit definitely cause the room to become dirty, as does the floor being dirt (a dirt floor tile has a dirt factor of -.06 clean); Rather unintuitively, however, rough stone, and dirt, cannot get dirty from tracking dirt onto the tile. This means that the easiest way to not be cleaning constantly is to not construct floors and just build on rough stone. Not quite sure if generated trash occurs on dirt and rough stone tiles... Blood is the big one, though, and why you need to keep the butchering and kitchen separate.

Since you mentioned Nutrient Paste, here's a rundown on it. It's a big building, so it counts as a wall.

Also each hopper counts as a seperate stockpile. Pawns can tell if it is insect meat.

I build walls out of wood with doors every 5 spaces or so, stretch them from hill to hill. Just cordon off your immediate farming area first. Then set a zone for inside the walls and use it for pet animals (especially bonded), also nice to have this zone for manhunter packs you want to ignore. Eventually you can build more sections of wall to cordon and control more areas of the map.

If you're doing a building project that requires steel, wood, stoneblocks, etc. you should make a small stockpile RIGHT NEXT to where the building project is, set it to critical priority and allow only the building materials you need, you can also do several different spots if you need multiple supplies. Shortens the time builders take to haul materials to the blueprint from their normal stockpile. Then just delete the stockpiles once the structure is completed.

Herbivore animals can eating live plants. So if there is a crop you need to harvest in full you need to protect it.

Old screenshot, but this dead-fall trap design should work if you scale it down for the size of your base. i.gyazo.com/87ebbc0be56c19e32852e8dcf2eebb88.png Since you are playing on Merciless, prioritizing defense and security is paramount to your survival. There are some great dead-fall funnel designs that you could use in order to survive; but mind you that dead-fall funnels don't work against sieges, drop pod raids, infestations or sapper raids. You won't know if a raid is a sapper raid unless you read the flavor text for the event whenever you click the raid icon. A lot of these events will be happening more towards the end-game once your colony has matured to a significant degree, I'd still keep a look out for them though. Later-game colonies tend to have the capacity to lay defensive sentries and hold-out positions all over the place so it's not as much of a problem for them. You will want to prioritize gathering a few stacks of herbal medicine to store in your stockpile zone. Herbal medicine is vital for your colonies survival in early game, since Randy will be sending awful things at you at random times. You need at least herbal medicine to survive certain situations and avoid infection. You'll want to have a dedicated room that you keep clean and isn't a hallway or walkway for your pawns or animals as your hospital bed or hospital room. Hallways end up getting really dirty, another reason why you don't want your kitchen to be a hallway to another room either. I suggest chopping through that forest until your plants skill has reached max exp gain speed for the day and then moving on to using that wood and spamming copies of wooden single pawn beds in order to train his construction and produce some normal quality beds for use in your prison/hospital/bedrooms. Infections are deadly. You will want to prepare for them when the time comes, which, technically, that could be any time.

[@DrWhy-bp7id]

When you're confident your defenses can handle raids for you, you can simply call your colonists inside and then forbid the exits. That way they can get things done inside the base while your traps mow raiders down, and you don't have to worry about them getting out and hurt.

[@TheRogueBro]

You can use the Order "Cut plants" to wipe out whole areas of plants. They will cut everything down, from grass to trees instead of using a grow zone like that.

I would have shortened the way to the deconstruction area at the east of the base. There was only one mountain rock to mine in order to avoid him to go all around the small mountain south east. Also u could micromanage a bit more. Right click on a task so he will start one task, then hold shift and right click on other tasks and he will perform them in the order you've clicked them while holding shift down. That way you could have deconstruct the entire wall and floor east of your base in one go. Saw your colonist do the walk around the south east corner mountain twice for only one deconstruction per walk. That's making him losing a lot of time he could be doing things...

@@ambiguousamphibian Sorry for the late reply and thanks for the reply xD Anyway, the most common way to build a kill box would be this: ibb.co/7J0J3WS ibb.co/1m6MgTZ The first image shows the "clean" version of the kill box (I made a new vanilla game because it seems like you're playing vanilla), size of the box, distance from the funnel, amount of traps and etc. are all your choice but the general idea is to have a maze filled with either traps to kill and/or sandbags/stone chunks to slow down the enemy to give you time to prepare, lead them into a funnel and then essentially a firing range for your colonists. Obviously if you installed the embrasures mod (ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=42179.0) you can replace the sandbags protecting your colonists with it for extra protection but that's your choice. How this works (and if this works) is showcased in the second image, where you can see very dead raiders inside the trap maze, I'm sure you already know but the AI always tries to take the most direct unobstructed route to your colonists, the maze being the most "unobstructed" route available (due to being the ONLY route available), they run straight into the traps and.... well, die. Mind you this won't work if you get sappers because they'll either break through the mountain to get to you or be smarter and break through the wall, raiders coming from drop pods also circumvent this defense for obvious reasons, hope I helped! :D PS. The reason why the raider went for your door instead of going through the hallway of death is because your colonist is inside a building, the raider has no direct route to the colonist so the raider sees that there's traps on the hallway and goes for the door instead. (yes they're dumb but a biiit smart)

You probably should be training the cows as soon as possible. If you want to train gazelles, the minimum to train them is skill 6. Cows are one of the only animals you can train at skill 0. You should be using them to train up your skill while you have them. Eventually training the gazelle to be able to be released is a great way to greatly increase your survivability.

Definitely correct me if I'm wrong, but once someone goes over their learning capacity for a skill, doesn't the percentage make them learn even faster?

[@Xeadriel]

dirt is dirty by definition. check the cleanliness of your rec room. the rough stone youre right about though, thats a pretty smart strategy actually.

[@TheNipSnipper]

LMAO you named that gazelle EMERGENCY MEAL

Iv got a challenge, all metal survival. Build one constructor, logger duplicater and one hauler drone with a small power source and see how long u can go.

I finally found a good way to not freeze to death :')

I was pretty sure you can put people in mind shattering pain into a coma, that way if they do recover the ability to walk but still have pain they cannot move if they go crazy :D

[@WoofChaqueJour]

yeah so basically u cant track any sort of dirt/filth on dirt and rock tiles except hewn rough stone which is what u get when u mine a mountain (Ore Veins dont produce hewn stone tiles btw), although blood and vomit still gets tracked onto dirt.

[@TheLargestBlock]

I suggest a challenge, where the only heating you may use are coolers.

I'm pretty sure you can anesthetize the prisoner to make their mind-shattering pain lessen

[@lydierayn]

I mean, yes you can kill it, but where is the fun in that?

[@gabtechgamer6819]

Yeah a good tip is to make the prison cell look and fill really good then you will have a better time trying to get them to join

[@gabtechgamer6819]

You can go ahead and smooth the floors it still gets dirty I have had some mental breaks because of the ugly floor and from dirt and trash build up

you should tame 2 wolf in the future 1 male/1 female so u can have an amry of wolf (but u have to let them learn to attack and rescue and that should be enough) (i choose wolf becuz they can hunt so no need a hunter and u can get a lot of animal's dead body/they hv high attack and agreesive and no need to worry about them but the babies)
