Hey folks, Me again. Dwarves this time, bit of an odd video because of... well, if you watch it you'll get it. so that's why it's going to be split into two parts. In any case I hope you enjoy, and thanks for all the support so far, really blows me away and motivates me to keep it up seeing all the numbers get bigger. I mention it quite secretively at the end of the video because I think it's sort of cringe but sure enough I did make a patreon just in case anyone really wants to throw money my way, I'll never ask you to, and I don't expect you to, but if you really want to. it's here - www.patreon.com/Hazzor I never plan on doing anything like Patron callouts in my videos or anything more than a probably very quiet and lonely but nonetheless exclusive corner of the discord for patrons.

When using Winston Waves a mod that allows everything to be burned in a crematorium helps with the junk. Additionally, there is a mod called compressed raiders which can limit the number of pawns that can spawn while buffing the ones that do spawn with weapons and bionics bought with the raid points of the unspawned raiders. So if you get a 200 pawn raid but you set compressed raiders to only spawn 50 raiders those raiders will turn up looking like an actual players endgame army.

[@georgeship5660]

There're also "non uno pinata" (makes so you can configure what stuff is dropped on the floor when pawn is downed/killed). It is just quite an awesome QoL mod in general

[@galdorofnihelm6798]

Seeing as you dont like insect events, you could use the "Better Infestation" mod, instead of them randomly spawning in your base, they will slowly make hatcheries from the edges, so if you dont clean it up as it comes it can become a problem

[@cooldud7071]

thanks for mentioning this mod, that sounds awesome

[@galdorofnihelm6798]

it is awesome, though be warned, it will kill your computer if you let it get too big before you deal with it, as rimworld is way too badly optimized to handled 500+ bugs patching around

[@cooldud7071]

@@galdorofnihelm6798 That just adds more incentive to get rid of them

[@geko2867]

I absolutely respect your decision of disabling infestations when playing with mining colonies, I get the idea of it as a gameplay element, making you keep your guard up but its one of those kinds of events that have a chance to happen in the most vital part of your base and instantly wipe out your colony.

[@rennovikov2847]

I had an infestation literally happen in my nuclear reactor. You can only guess how that went

[@timothymclean]

Even if it doesn't wipe out the colony, they can still chew through huge sections of your base, ruining it better than practically any ordinary raid would. Ugh.

[@flakstoneforge2200]

If you want to not have a slow game with winston, use the 'compressed raiders' mod, itll make it harder to kill each raider, but you wont get hundreds of raiders at one... and since it has easy config options in game, you can choose how many raiders is sent out until they compress, and (i think) you can modify the buffs each raider gets...

[@Mojave_Courier]

I enjoyed that you explored the alternate timeline. The snap back to reality was a funny transition. Keep up the great work!

[@IamusTheFox]

I am really glad I found you. I really like your style, not having videos overly series. A 30 minute complete story is a fantastic change from most rim world content I've found. I wouldn't mind two or three part videos, but it is really nice that you do different things basically everytime!

[@andrewevanjohn1482]

Hazzor, I really enjoy your storytelling. Espcially the way you break up and almost giggle at the rediculous situations you’re taskd with describing. It’s very wholesome, silly, centering. I hope we hear more from you soon.

We are dwarfs and were digging a hole! Its awesome to see someone whos good at playing Rimworld I keep trying but I apparently suck at it lol so its nice to see someone get past the starting faze without the colony dieing out due to my own miss management and general want to see it go from 0 - 100 real damn quick. I love your content keep at it and I'll be looking out for the next one.

No bullshit just someone playing rimworld and talking about it without hiding things like reloading saves, glitches etc. Definitely one of my fav rimworld KZbinrs even if you said this was never meant to be a rimworld channel Also ever though of trying a melee only colony?

[@randomman11167]

My best guess about why randy was very aggressive is potentially because of the no insect faction as it'd be removing all base game infestations which were getting randomised into another negative encounter such as a raid

Okay actually the reason WHY Winston Waves breaks like that is because the mod is NOT designed to be switched on late game. Mr Samuel Streamer did something similar in one of his LPs and the game also kinda broke. You basically gotta commit to Day One with WW. Also rock and stone, diggy diggy hole, that's going in the book, they dug too deep, and so on. I expect a Dwarf Fortress LP from this channel soon or I'll put in you in the book.

[@adriantudorpaunescu5099]

Hello. Found your channel recently and I love your vids, gotta say it! At one point, you were talking about shells keep missing, and I see you use CE. In CE you can make Binoculars (at a Machining Table I recall) and you equip it on a pawn and move him far away, and he acts as a Spotter for the Mortars, and it greatly increases the accuracy. Sincerely, not sure how well it works or how big the difference is, never tried it out myself. Keep up the good work

[@thewolfstu]

16:06 a fun idea to solve this is using the Rimfactory mod you can make a puller pull from a giiiiaaant stockpile to remotely bring everything in and either use Rimfactory to process it down however ya' want or do what I do and use the Shelf of Holding mod and just throw everything in the world on it. lol

[@filthycasual6118]

If you haven't already found it, there's a mod called "No es uno pinata" which prevents dead pawns from dropping their gear on death. That would help with the junk accumulating in your doorway all that junk only leaves their pockets when the corpse despawns, so it'll be within range of your crematorium.

[@bma4372]

700+ hours on this game, and i was today years old when i finally learned that you can get rid of infestations bu removing the insect factions. Which makes sense, i guess, bout i always figured out it was just part of a predetermined event pool that every narrator has. Oh well, no more carpets made of bugshells or kibble made of insect goop.

[@konpekinogomi]

and anotha 1 to the gems of rimworld yt creators ive subbed

[@Mr00dark]

Not a coward for removing insects in most playthoughs, though I personally like the mods that make you deal with them in some other way, IE only unlit areas can spawn infestations(making solar flares dangerous inside under mountain bases), or researching tech and then needing to build it to keep them at bay.

[@JustMonkeh]

I don't remember when I subbed to you but I'm glad I did, I love these videos I hope you can make videos that are a bit longer but if not it's fine, you make good stuff anyway ^^

Appreciate you using Kruggsmash for your DF video snippet, mate! He's a lovely person and his art brings DF to life!

[@T0RSE]

I love mountain bases and play with the "insects only spawn in darkness" the only places they have a chance of spawning now (after I set up lights) are my shroom room and strip mining areas outside of my base my shroom rooms are usually too small to allow many hives (or I've just been lucky, unsure how that works), and if I wanted to I could make the walls embrasures for easier clearing I tried a mod that makes them easier but it was just.. a little much Love the vid!

[@DoctorTrendy]

Not the rhinos charging the children 😭😭💀

[@pk6084]

Just wanna put my thanks out, I just binged every single one of your videos. Great content. side note: Im guessing the dev version of CE is what is allowing the fortification mod to work with it? Last I checked they were incompatible.

[@g1gabyt3]

Dunno if you tried RocketMan mod before, but it MAY help you with some of the performance issues due to how it calculates pawns simulation. It's labeled as unstable, but it's not as bad as the name suggests, so check it out with a fully loaded colony to see any improvements in end-game raids. There's also RimThreaded which seemingly tries to rewrite the entire simulation stack with support for multithreading, but it's way more unstable and compatibility with other mods is hit and miss, so RocketMan is a way safer option to try without being afraid to brick your colony on load.

Honestly, hearing that you disable insects when doing mountain bases made me feel relieved a bit tbh I do the same cause they're annoying ways to lose colonists and also just annoying to deal with cause they're all the same Bunch up at a doorway and melee to death or they spawn in the killbox and instantly die

[@LNLucia]

My solution to all the junk from winston waves was the mod Project RimFactory, and its submod Project RimFactory - Insanity. While the mod is more for autonomous factories with conveyor belts and machines doing all the work. It has really nice storage systems and an amazing way to move stuff. Early storage is just crates with like 10 stacks a cell, but endgame is 712 stacks over 4 cells, and the whole thing has IO ports that you can put all over your base for quicker hauling. And even better it has an item puller that can suck stuff off a stockpile zone and dump it into the IO port. So I always used a giant stockpile zone with nothing allowed in it as a clean up zone. Anything that died over it would be automictically sucked up and deposited in my storage. You can even have it filter through several of them if you need to expand. Though even with all that it fills up quick, the submod is a bit more overpowered but you can ignore all of that and just use its machine that melts any and everything into EMC, which you can toss back into its own special mass storage and ignore, or burn as fuel for energy gen. Another mod that might help is compressed raiders. It helps with numbers if they are an issue. Though it will eventually make it easier since I think their stats will cap at some point.

I am also a coward who disables infestations when building a mountainhome. Granted, my colonies always get shafted anyway. But those insects can go suck on those early game overpowered shotguns!

[@jellyfish8944]

By the way there's a mod to help with the stupidly big raid lag. It's called compressed raiders and it allows you to set a limit to the amount of raiders that can spawn. The remaining raiders will be buffed to compensate so the difficulty of the raids will still scale. I usually drop colonies before reaching that level of endgame though, so I haven't actually seen it in action yet.

[@izetsubo6603]

to deal with those slog fest when dealing with bigger raids you can use the mod called compressed raiders... it helps a bit as well as it is highly customizable
