For the manual priorities, I tend to have 1s only for firefighting, patient and doctors (for those with high medical). If I suddenly needed whatever task at utmost priority I'll set that to 1, and it will still be top priority unless there's literally a fire or someone is seriously injured. That seems like a good setting to me. That's why I have 1s anyway. But yes, I agree that I see most people have too many 1s.

[@petloverspy]

I like that he says 1s are only for very urgent things … as he goes over firefighting. I know that if you have no 1s anywhere else it’ll still prioritize the firefighting, but the implication that it’s not at all urgent is very funny

I haven’t read through all the comments so I don’t know if someone else addressed this below or on a different video but instead of planting hay in the animal pen plant dandelions as the cows will use that as food and it is plants practice for the pawns. It will keep the animals fed during spring/summer mostly while you grow hay for winter months.

I wanna point out something about the manual priorities thing when he was talking about never putting 1s unless it's a something you really need them to do immediately fire fighting and patient are almost always a good idea to put at 1 so that your colonist don't say craft a tshirt while your entire building burns down around him or let themselves bleed out while out in the feild sowing crops

Hey AA! Just wanted to say something a little less known, but in places closer to the poles where the amount of yearly sunlight changes drastically, it can get really hot in the summers, as the sun only sets for a few hours, or not at all! It really heats things up more than you'd think.

[@EdzCreationz]

Patient & Bed rest should always be 1, while if its a doctor he also should be on a 1, then you're doctors will go to bed if their hurt and only get up from bed to tend wounds, if there is something that need prio, like cutting plants, you put a 1 on that category for every1 and since they rarely tend wounds or lay in bed to rest you're "important" stuff you've marked gets done in an instant, and you never have to worry about people not tending to each others etc, personally I also prefer Basic and Firefighting to be on a 1 also

[@buckaroobonzai2909]

I am also bad with animals. With the "which plant" part, I think the best thing to do is plant dandelions where the cows live for support nutrition, and then haygrass outside where the cows are so they have food to eat. The reason is because you can stock up on hay for the winter. Meanwhile, cows are just eating dandelions. I think, and correct me if I am wrong, you can also have cows indoors, in a cave with a small heater and just a torch or normal lamp and have daylillies grow. To me it seems like you want to have multiple reasons and food sources for your animals. The redundancy is helpful. Managing their population is very important also, because my animals always grow in numbers too quickly.

[@Rook525]

So I'm watching this, I watched the artic and desert runs. And I gotta say I'm jealous of your planning capabilities. I'm 250 hours into rimworld and I'd say only had one properly made base that made it to endgame, and I'll be honest that was pure luck.

In my experience so far, age 7 and 10 are when kids start to become useful and start to help with the work around the base.

Oled tips if you see this and still looking. I've been running a LG CX since it launched for a pc only screen no burn in or any issues. Hide your task bar constantly and no desktop icons even the recycle bin just pin it to your file explorer quick menu. Have a moving background as your desktop constantly, wallpaper engine is your friend. Make sure you set up a set of slowly rotating set of wallpapers basically any static things are your enemy. Don't worry about Fullscreen games you need stuff stuck in the same location for hours upon hours, so a game session isn't an issue. If your USA bound the only warranty that covers burn in is Best Buys warranty, no other warranty will touch burn in even LG, but they are known to bend over for customers it's just not guaranteed. Other than that, I keep my browser muted colors and apps other than games/media not Fullscreen, so my moving background is poking through around the sides.

[@ambiguousamphibianvods]

Thanks for that - using mine for video editing, recording and streaming, so I may use another monitor for more of the static elements. Needed the bigger monitor since adobe premiere needs a LOT of screen real estate. Actually just got a defective one and had to replace it lol. Mine's thru Amazon tho I'll take your word for it on the next one :) Can't tell you how much I appreciate it - it's far too nice for me and giving me a lot of anxiety to use it lol

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1160">19:20</a> ish? The most important tasks are already to the left - If you have your dedicated cook and gardener set to Priority 1 Cook, Grow, and Plant cut, there's really nothing beyond those that can supersede them in importance. If you never use Priority 1, then your Priority 2 is fulfilling exactly the same role. If you need a character to go rest, doctor, or firefight, you can set them to Priority 1, and yes, it would be done before Priority-2 tasks, but it'll also be done before just about any other Priority-1 task. I can happily keep my Miner/Construction character on Priority-1 Mine and Construct because there's little to the right of that that they could be doing. If I suddenly need a colonist to go haul or clean rather than do whatever they were meant to do, then I guess leaving Priority-1 open would be wise? Even then, I can set their normal tasks to Priority-2 temporarily, which is effectively what you have your colonists at all the time.

[@vorpal_void]

About the pilum weapon - this thing is weird in the context of RimWorld. It's basically just a javelin, but by design it's supposed to be used against hand shields, to pierce them and make them unwieldy (because of the length and weight of the pilum, and the tip geometry that makes it not easy to pull it out of the shield), practically robbing the opponent of his shield if it's pierced by a throw, even without damaging the owner if he manages to dodge the piercing. But there are no hand shields in the game, at all! If you want to know more: plural variant of said weapon is a singular word for Russian "пила" [pʲɪˈla] with accent on "a" instead of "i", and that will be some saw.
