I Beat Rimworld With 500 Colonists. It Didn't Go Well...

[@TheTamally]

Are you telling me that there is an event horizon for barracks? It progressively gets worse the more beds you add, until you add so many people into the barracks that they are stunned by the sheer engineering marvel and display of wealth that 500 beds in a single room is, that they no longer care that they are sharing a room with 500 people?

[@estoericaferret]

it's less that they no longer care and more that the moodlets for having an opulent barracks offsets the "i didn't have my own room" moodlets. but otherwise, yes. you can make a black hole barracks.

[@TheKd8lvt]

For reference; I've played this game for 2k hours. The highest non-negative moodlet a pawn can get from their bedroom when it is considered a barracks is +1. ONE. That is only applied when it is an "unbelievably impressive barracks" - something that requires a large, extremely wealthy room. Putting 500 beds in a room will do that, yeah lol Alternatively, you could just make an aesthetically pleasing barracks. Or individual bedrooms, where the max is +10? I think? lol

[@shard4155]

To be honest, if you can make a barrack for 500 guys I would be impressed enough to not care about the fact that I'm sleeping with 499 other persons as well

[@rwbypro8758]

yep also if you have the barracs, rec room, and dining room all in one those buffs stack for the same room, so you can have impressive barracks, impressive dining hall, and impressive rec room mood buffs for the same room.

[@Hobby_Technology]

The *value* of the room. The colonists walk in and go "Woah! Do you have any idea how much 500 beds costs? This place is awesome!"

I saw my colonist for a brief moment and realized they were incapable of caring, incapable of social, and were bad at literally everything. Never before have I resonated so strongly with a pawn. Also it seems I unfortunately did not survive to the end. I managed to follow my pawn through a couple of the sidebar alerts during the video, but my last sighting of them was them going on a berserk just before the archer slug match raid that killed or kidnapped 80% of the remaining colonists. My guess is that I biffed it during this battle between one of the jump cuts. RIP to them, they were not missed during this colony.

[@iburn36360_]

I am fully prepared to be the same kind of NPC that I am in my friend's games. Wholly psychotic, and instantly a danger to both themselves and anyone unfortunate enough to be within 35 nautical miles of me. The last time I chose to watch one of my incarnations not in my direct control was XCom 2. In the opening mission, I instantly saw an alien, panicked, ran to a nearby, and very willing to explode car, threw a grenade instantly at the nearest group of innocent civilians, killing all of them and died later that turn to my cover becoming an oversized frag grenade on wheels. I expect my avatar on the rim will be the same. EDIT: On my third rewatch, it appears I somehow survived, taking a nap in the barrack as the ship took flight with less than stellar looking health. I'm not entirely sure how that happened, but I am surprised to say the least.

I think this has given me a lot of respect for Ludeon's codebase, this big a population is well past the point where Dwarf Fortress starts to die a slow painful death, and that is a game built for a population in the 100s, so the fact Rimworld is able to (almost) run in this state is testament to whoever polished up the task-picking algorithms.

[@Mukkod]

so goose, the Goose Temp Tech is oddly close to how a heat pump works. the vents are acting as an expansion valve/compressor and most people dont realize that heat pumps are *extremely* efficient at making things hot/cold, to the magitude of 4-5x the heat energy output vs the amount of heat energy put in as electrical energy. I.E. 100Kw of heat energy to the heat pump would have the effective output of 400-500kw of heat energy from the pump in either heat or cold. the laws of physics are being broken with that tech for sure, but its less of a complete shatter and more of a compound fracture.

[@estoericaferret]

i dunno...i haven't met a heat pump that can get make a room half as hot as a metallurgical smelter. or a room a few millikelvin above absolute zero.

A tip for later: make sure that you set a colony outfit. You can equip weapons to it too, this will help with the issue of not having weapons because your colonists were downed at one point, as they will see they don't have a weapon and equip it. In most cases, it doesn't work well since you'd usually want certain pawns to have certain different weapons. In this case however, since all of your pawns use the same type of bow, it doesn't really matter. _(unless they changed it since I last played)_

if theres any other types of fun random runs to go through, maybe a neat 'challenge' idea would be to have one colonist for one skill, meaning in order to craft you need a colonist who can ONLY craft, needing a cook just to cook and only cook, shooter to ONLY shoot and never melee, melee pawn to only melee and nothing else, you can have more than one colonist doing said single skill, so 2 shooters are possible other than that loved the video, it was really interesting seeing so many pawns on screen, if you ever do something similar to this challenge ever again maybe getting the vanilla outposts expanded mod would help, basically allows you to send off bunches of people into much smaller colonies that don't take up visual space so you can modify them easier while they go get materials or actively reduce the threats approaching the main colony
