Can I DOMINATE Rimworld using Tanks?

In Todays video we follow Tom and anyone else he can find to help him in his quest to build advanced military vehicles with which to dominate the local settlements of the Rimworld he finds himself stuck on.
Rimworld's Steam description for the magical robot goblins -
Rimworld is a sci-fi colony sim driven by an intelligent AI storyteller. Generates stories by simulating psychology, ecology, gunplay, melee combat, climate, biomes, diplomacy, interpersonal relationships, art, medicine, trade, and more, wow... cool... these folks do that with vehicle mounted autocannons.

I love the idea of using vehicle mods to do a roving nomadic-style band of pirates like something out of Mad Max, but the resource cost feels too high to get away with such a nomadic playstyle. You just end up with a huge social/ideoligion penalty for staying in one place for too long, but you have to stay in one place in order to get the materials and the research done. Would be cool to see a version of this that works.

[@timothymclean]

Maybe it would work better if settlements had vehicles or vehicle parts you could raid. And at that point, settlements might have a couple vehicles that could put up a fight against basic Mad Max vehicles, so bonus.

[@user-jm8sy5ox2j]

The lesson every rimworld player learns, keep your chemfuel in a shed away from the base or in a blast proof room. Also, make individual bays for drop pod launchers or other vehicles that haul chemfuel so they dont obliderate your base upon being shaken

[@Khornecussion]

Rimworld is the only game where a cannibal cult with a WW2 era APC can roll up, merc a whole city, take a prisoner, then shoot that prisoner as they attempt an escape, then that prisoner turns to a member of that cult and then falls in love with the very guy that shot her in the face. Rimworld truly is an amazing story generator. My favorite was when I did a Mechanist run and my shut-in mechanist that had perks that made him like being alone and indoors... had his daughter fall from the sky. She had similar perks minus the " I wanna be alone " - but regardless I had different compounds built for both, each guarded by a single mini-turret and a duo of Militors. Eventually my mech guy begins talking with his daughter more. They begin eating together despite having many other options for tables, all excellent quality from our constructor. They start eating and chatting. Eventually his adoration for his daughter outweighs his debuff from " I don't like human contact " - and the two of them over time become deadly augmented super soldiers. Eventually? His wife falls from the sky too. It became a family of augmented humans that killed their way through small towns 20 - 30 people, mortars and heavy turrets strong. Uranium slug chain shotguns, advanced rifles and such used to decimate entire civilizations. A trio of Crysis protagonists that would show up and literally punch the heads off of people.

[@Psionic_Dragon]

This video really showed the power of CE combined with vehicles - in my personal experience, a lot of the vehicles are actually really underpowered due to how vanilla's armor and accuracy calculation work; too often do the guns on vehicles miss all but a few of their rounds, and they take an absolute beating from basic weaponry. It seems when paired with semi-realistic elements of CE, they swing comically in the other direction of being unstoppable killing machines.

[@relortal2199]

This has been my experience with them as well in vanilla - they're very good (if a bit finicky) for transporting people and goods quickly, but the combat vehicles aren't particularly good on their own

[@Milkman-pog]

what does ce mean

[@Psionic_Dragon]

@@Milkman-pog Combat Extended, it's an overhaul to the entire game's shooting/melee mechanics and requires custom made patches for most mods.

[@justanothercommenter5835]

Yeah in Vanilla the APCs can be pretty effectively destroyed by tribals with bows and arrows that just shred the entire thing - I found that the best use of them was to just use the cargo and air vehicles to scoot about quicker.

[@dotgone]

I definitely read this as Combat Evolved and pictured Hazzor launching warthogs at an enemy base with some strategically placed grenades.

[@lorddukealayeneclipse3317]

Ah yes. Another Hazzor upload. No joke, every time you upload I get excited! The narration is fun, editing and your voice combined makes for really entertaining stories. Keep on going man, love your content!

[@MartinFinnerup]

Fully agree! This content scratches much the same itch as AmbigousAmphibian's does to me, all while still being unique. I know Haxxor is aware of AA, and I think they've played together (not sure though). Similar styles, but with their own unique flavors.

[@lorddukealayeneclipse3317]

​@@MartinFinnerupin all honesty Hazzor's content does that more so in my opinion. And yes they have played together. Stellaris I think

[@TheLostWill]

I love how no base you have last forever. They always fall, either because they decided to blow it all up, it falls to bugs, mechs or megasloths and usually there's one survivor shaking in the corner. Except for that one mountain man who jacks off in the kitchen, he'll outlive the sun.

He is either staging his colony's ending or he is just very, very unaware. Like, all his colonies end with some kind of a very easily and avoidable mistake.

[@agentbarron3945]

​@@t_gabiuel6058 you kinda have to. Once you get 100+ hours in the game, its not hard if you do everything optimally. Even on the hardest difficulties where theres 15x raiders than you have defenders, if you have a nice killbox set up then its literally impossible to die. Thats why I have a whole bunch of self imposed rules to make the game more challanging. I never make a killbox, just a kill field. I play with combat extended so the ranges are insane, an LMG can hit literally anything on a small map, I play on the largest because of that. My defenses are walls with several different bunkers that you can go between within the walls as a permiter No unmanned turrets. I dont like the idea of a full AI powered turret with friend or foe detection in a world where AI fucks with humans literally for fun. Plus, .50 cal machine guns are fun as fuck to use And finally, I dont make my guys wear their armor 24/7, thats more enforced by CE making everything have weight and bulk so someone wearing full flak gear could carry like 4 steel

[@kowhaifan1249]

​@@agentbarron3945I don't make my guys wear armor 24/7 and I don't use CE. I just want my flak and recon armor to last more than 1 year before I need to replace it.

I think it would be crazy to figure out the logistics of a mobile refinery, all while having to work your way through either a bunch of zombies, or other mad max raiders similar to you. Maybe the destination is a disappointing ruined city, or maybe it's the last bastion of civilization! I think the idea has some real legs.
