How to survive Toxic Fallout | RIMWORLD

[@derekburge5294]

Man, I saw the eggs and llamas at 4:00 and for half a second my brain thought, "sure hope she manages to recover those llama eggs before they get toxic." I need to take a nap.

[@siluda9255]

lmao

[@boofhead711]

There should be a feature that makes toxic fallout deposit like snow, So you gotta clean it up even when the event ends.

[@Jadziax]

I like that... it would be cool too if you could craft a gas mask or something to slow buildup in the wearer

[@rainmanslim4611]

I like events like this. My game recently had a "long night" event that said a giant space creature was passing by the sun, causing a multi-year night and causing factions to become more hostile. Keep in mind, my fortress had rimatomics turrets, bionics, charge weapons and embrasures and my neighbours were a tribal faction. Long story short, by the time the sun came back, all growing was done in greenhouses using the tilled earth mod, drug production had been entirely taken over by slave labor thanks to multiple large raids (even against such weaponry there were always a couple survivors) and my food production was flourishing. Sometimes, a terrible event can leave you stronger than ever

[@azirus]

Oh yeah, fun events. That reminded me that fun time I got Ice age and Volcanic winter together (vanilla events expanded yay).

[@ichifish]

Call me crazy but I miss the bad ol' days when toxic fallout might last a couple of quadrums or longer. It really shaped each run it happened in (sometimes by ending them). Great tutorial, as usual. I don't have anything to add except that if you don't plan to/can't take your animals caravanning cull as many as possible as soon as possible. Also, if it comes down to eating kibble it's best to seal off the exits to prevent mental breakers from roaming out into the fallout.

[@RawkL0bster]

Wait, when did it change? I also loved it since my colony would transition to a Fallout vault lol.

[@themendorean]

But it would be kinda overkill Since it suddenly happens and when it did, that's it the toxicity starts up

[@vonkug]

I've found that keeping about 400 pemmican per colonist is a good start for food security. Animals can eat it too, and so long as you have something nicer to eat, your colonists won't dip into your reserves. This doubles as travel food and also for events like un-handleable manhunter packs where you can't go outside. I usually keep enclosed "service corridors" between structures so there's safe passages and they can double as centralized heating/cooling.

[@DamienDarkside]

For everyone: There is a mod that allows "X per Colonist" (I believe by the same name, at work ATM) and you can easily set it to 4-500. Then it will automatically adjust to how many colonists you have in the colony. I do this, but for packaged meals. I always have 25 per Colonist, which is totally overkill, but boy does it sell well and train the shit out of cooking.

[@jaydock1]

@@DamienDarkside oh this sounds so useful!

[@ThusXeavior]

If youre still early on, or your pinned animals are pack animals, it is sometimes better to just caravan up and move a tile over because the toxic fallout will only be in that world tile.

[@Garagantua]

I always do the "roof the outer pathways"-thing. It does not only help with toxic fallout, it also helps keeping those path clear of snow (if that's a thing in your biome). Good to have your pawns walk over snow free 100% pavements while raiders are trudging through deep snow :)

[@Lucas-oc4cr]

Het Jadziax. I found your content a few days ago and I wanted to tell you how helpful your info is. I've watched countless AdamVsEverything and while I enjoy watching him for pleasure, it's not why I research this game. I haven't found a single video of yours that hasn't helped me. So thanks

[@Jadziax]

[@jacksonrobbins2288]

[@Gigantotherium]

This was an awesome guide! I've got about 200 hours in Rimworld and there was still a good bit I didn't know in this. For marginal living situations I always like to say living "hand to mouth" instead of paycheck to paycheck. It's a phrase I heard a lot growing up but rarely hear anymore.

[@henrylo6773]

My solution is pick a cave colony and be prepared from the start (although I bet all beginner players do this anyways).I wish tho those radiation radius that kill plants could be protected inside caves.

[@themendorean]

Just plant rice and potatoes, 16000 each harvest season is enough to feed a 11 member colony for 2 years

[@reverendcascade]

Honestly had not thought to put a sunlamp outside and roof my fields

[@Nightmarished]

Hey Jadz! Great vid again!

[@Jadziax]

Thanks Nightmare :))

[@jaydock1]

Can i just say i really enjoy your videos, you have such a calm but entertaining voice and give information succinctly and logically while still being interesting

[@Jadziax]

thank you so much :)

[@jimmymcgoochie2359]

Building a roof over a field and then building a skylight into the roof would let most of the natural daylight in (90%) so crops would still grow but would be shielded from the fallout. Getting the skylights built requires more resources and time than just sticking a sun lamp down, but works over much larger areas and saves power. It also works for indoor hydroponics areas which makes organising them much easier than trying to cram them into a sun lamp’s limited range.

[@Hellbunnyism]

Even as a seasoned player of the Rim I learned some great tips. Thanks!

[@murphychurch8251]

The first time I got this event I had enough food...but not enough wood stacked up, and I had a fueled stove. 😆 As the trees start dying from the poison as well, at the start of the event I let some pawns cut down trees for getting in more wood at the same time as the builders do the roofing.

[@1phully]

Thanks as always!

[@Jadziax]

Thank YOU for watching

[@stuff9680]

Dubs Skylights really helps to create greenhouses that work really well during toxic fallout or just in winter also if your colony is full of cannibals and you have a good number of prisoners then you have a steady supply of food

[@Bp1033]

if you have a good doctor, try not to send them out into the fallout unless they're starting to get cabin fever.

[@Bimmonds]

Love your informative videos - thank you

[@likeatr33]

i'd plant a huge corn field that you NEVER harvest, just delete the grow zone once the corn is planted. then you can roof it and wait 90 days incase something happens.

[@OhNoTheFace]

I usually play a little RPish as the more native side for a while, being slower to get to power and stuff, and playing in a place with winter. Boreal forest is my fav biome. So I am usually lucky in having a bunch of pemmican anyways and a lot of animals to hunt if I have to in a hurry. I imagine a desert or arid shrubland fallout would be a test of your crop stockpiles

[@shapeswitch_mood7221]

The biggest issue I had to face during Toxic Fallout was managing animals. I had WAY too many animals, and my place wasn't adapted for a fallout. So everyone was in the same complex, and getting the food for the animals meant going outside for a while to a nearby storage room (hay). Ofc then it's whether you have enough to feed everyone, which was tough. But I survived nonetheless! So now: not that many animals, and got to farm a ton of hay for next time ^^ Also houses are connected now (some lol) But sometimes the simplest solution is to move: My second colony had to face a toxic fallout, no chances of survival, so we made an emergency evacuation and launched pods to the main base, while waiting for the Fallout to go away.

[@pub795]

Have you found managing more that one colony enjoyable? I'm already feeling overwhelmed when I get over 15 pawns, let alone having two colonies.

[@metasis000]

You forgot that you can make a gas mask to slow the toxic buildup down by 80 percent, and you can also use detoxifier kidneys and lungs, a single lung gives 50 percent resistance, a kidney also gives 50 percent resistance, so you can use one detox lung and one detox kidney to completely negate that toxic buildup, and you can use one lung or kidney with a gas mask to get the same effect. To prepare for a toxic fallout, you can just make a gas mask for each of your colonists. Hope this helped!

Idk about toxic fallout, but I like to play deadworld games with permanent winter and the gameplay is pretty much the same

[@Swordphobic]

There´s always one last resort which is to caravan away and return once the fallout ends. Not everyone survives though.

[@TopHistoricalFoods]

Ahh yes we have a rim world queen 👸

[@KamosArn]

One of the events that i fear the most in the rimworld universe. In that time will be mechanoid raids? Or regular raids? Also, the pawns get upset for eating irradiated meat?

[@vonkug]

Toxic fallout instantly spoils the animals, so they are auite literally unbutcherable and inedible.

[@Jadziax]

If an animal has toxic buildup greater than 40%, it will rot instantly upon death so you can't butcher or eat it anymore. If the animal has less than 40% buildup, you can still butcher and eat it with no ill effects.

[@rwulf]

One of my least favorite events, since worst case scenario is game over and the best case scenario is the game gets super boring for a couple weeks.

[@rwulf]

@@basildaoust2821 True, but depending on the biome volcanic winter can just be straight-up ignored. It's only when you're already someplace cold that it's a real problem.

[@DamienDarkside]

Another great tip for Toxic Fallout, is to play Fallout. I don't mean quit and play Fallout, make your place a Vault if you can. I roof my entire zone, it's only a few pillars since I'm a bit more compact. Now my whole colony is a "bunker" and my colonists can move about. If I don't have Sun Lamps, I can grow Nutrifungus. Yeah, my colonists will probably complain but it's less complaints than STARVATION. If they eat it in a really nice looking dining room (toss some good art in there) anyways it totally counters it. Besides, you're looking to survive at this point not thrive. Of course if you have Hydroponics and the like, you can just cap the colony and proceed as usual.
