Turret spam is the only way but he didn’t go down that research line

[@freddywong4836]

Could have formed a caravan with Lee (or all the colonists) and move him/them to the next tile to evade from the infested tile. Start in the next tile from scratch and probably some survival meals dropped by the raiders. Infestation is indeed a key issue to mountain bases and they can spawn anywhere within 30 tiles of colony structure (according to wiki), thus probably should keep the base lit and either (1) set a decoy location on the opposite side of the mountain base with wood floor so that you can burn ‘em all once infestation appears there; or keep the mountain refrigerated below -17C (not sure what the equivalent F is).

[@AramatiPaz]

@@freddywong4836 decoy works very well. I had 2 infestation in the same map, the first was inside my not inhabitanted part of the base, before I make a decoy. Burnned down and get nice near 2k °C. The second was in the half made decoy. Didn't get the opportunity to burn down but since was outside I could use my turrets and killbox. I lost some pet, but the sole sad lost was my trumbo 💔

All this to tell you, next time, the second an infestation starts draft everyone and deal with it instead of letting it feed and grow. Also walling in an infestation zone doesn’t mean put a wall and done, actually fill in the hole.

So they had time to grow 30 days or so at some point i think they made other animals stop spawning at the map because as it seems the animal spawns are limited and they started to dig closer to my base. I don't even know how many bugs there were, but the clean up was quite simple i have build a wall in the cave laid a conduit to the closest thermal generator and build 6 heaters inside the cave and set them to 80°C and the bugs all died slowly because of the heat.

[@beaauuuuu]

When the person said to fill in the area, they meant literally. By constructing walls over mountainous roofs then bugs won't spawn there; which is actually what a lot of experienced players do if they're building in mountains. They dig as far into the mountain as possible until the overhead mountain shows and then they make that they're barrier/wall.

[@TheUchi1991]

I one played a colony, where the average room temperature was -44° within a mountain. Worked flawlessly and I never had to deal with investations in the first place, because the "hottest" temperature was still lower than the -17° they need to spawn

[@Trivial_Whim]

I remember the first time I encountered an infestation I walled it in a cave almost lost a colonist making sure the roof was intact and just set up a ludicrous maze of coolers to try and freeze them. I got an error message about hypothermic animals or something and then nothing happened. Then I check back later when a trader passed the cooler maze wall and the whole thing had quietly starved to death only to pop back into existence when I started switching the coolers off. I’ve always hated them more than mechaniods since then.

[@julian2k650]

Im not sure if you’ve done this but When cooking turn it on to drop the meal on the floor so they can cook more in a small time frame without walking all the time. And at the end they can carry it away.

"we really need to focus om Security" But no one has any weapons?

Haha, I was thinking something similar, though I'm still puzzling over what might have saved us from that infestation - it was crazy how they killed about 20 well armed traders and raiders - environmental defenses seem huge now to me - open to thoughts and ideas there, though!

[@Popchip99]

You really shouldnt have relied upon those "well armed" traders they all looked to be using pistold and shot guns which frankly arent that good

[@starfalll]

@@ambiguousamphibian Just got around to watching this one, so I'm sure other people have already mentioned it, but rushing turrets is usually what I've done in my colonies and it really helps destroy most enemies. You can stand behind the turrets and both raiders and insects will target them first, plus they're really good at mowing down lightly armored targets. Making choke points/kill boxes with them is even more effective. Ideally though, you don't want to let an infestation escalate like it did here. If it happens you've got to deal with it asap, even if it means getting several colonists severely injured. It spirals out of control really fast otherwise.

[@AramatiPaz]

Buy. It totally worth it

[@Tine_of_Nice_Dreams]

"instead of building way more traps and walls with my prep time i will ignore the insects and think about interstellar trade :)" how to describe the feeling of watching a dead colony and happy streamer, all of whom don't realize they're dead yet. What an end.

[@chemicalbacon5210]

Don't worry too much about infestations. If you don't annoy them then they are very passive and can work in your favour by killing raiders. Speaking of raiders, it might be worthwhile releasing prisoners who don't/can't pull their weight back to their factions. You can get reputation with them which can lead to trading and missions when you get a communication array. It also means you may get raided less. As for new playthroughs you can try the two hardcore starts: artic and desert. These locations are very brutal but very rewarding. Your drug problem at 19:20 can be solved by simply clicking on the drugs on the floor and selecting "forbid item" which appears where draft would be with a pawn. This can be done with any item and stops pawns from using them unless specifically ordered to do so

[@beaauuuuu]

Another option for prisoners that are useless, is to sell them to a pirate trader for a hefty price. Note that your colonists will get a mood debuff for doing so.

[@nicholassherburne8861]

for the future infestations, build a decoy room 3 layer walled with granite under a mountain and stick some Incendiary IED's in it. because of the small areas you could have them in your base, a decoy underground room should force most of them to spawn there, where the IED's will light them on fire and burn them to death. Machining is also something to think about researching because with a little bit of research into the gun line, you can make machine pistols, which can be made cheap and used to great effect in choke points.

[@beaauuuuu]

This is great strategy for farming insect jelly but I wouldn't use it for avoiding infestations. It's better to just wall off all overhead mountain you find so you never have to deal with them.

[@5RndsFFE]

Having a colonist with armors that have high sharp resistance and a decent blunt melee weapon in a 1 cell wide corridor tends to make short work of even mega spiders, it’s only when bugs are able to overwhelm predominantly ranged fighters are they an actual issue.

[@AramatiPaz]

In his case don't work, he didn't had IED. But I use it and work very well. As someone who always build under mountain I see wall in a pure desperdice. Let the residential zone very clean and illuminated. Put some stone doors in the mineration zones. A pile of woods or fuel. Make sure it's always over 0°C Keep a molotov in hands.

[@miloeyes8946]

Probably the greatest episode you ever put out for Rimworld. Amazing job, well done!

[@ShadowHunter-nh3rl]

“There is no fortunate side to this” (about the infestation)... I’m sorry but I dissagree. Infestations are a pretty awesome defence system, because they slaughter everything in their way, especially humans. You need to be carefull around them, and mostly work around night, but you can manage to make them an incredible defence system. And after you have a single infestation and it’s grown enough, you can’t possibly get another, so you’re free to do everything in mountains, without worry. But hey you’re dead by now... so yeah... I may slightly have forgotten to mention the importance of knowing how to deal with Infestations... and if you don’t, my advice would be: kill them instantly!

[@ambiguousamphibian]

Yeah, good insight - I think this is my new mantra when it comes to these things - if they grow, respect them with an extreme fear, though had no clue about more being unable to spawn after such a large initial one - I'd never seen one grow so immense - honestly was quite cinematic, looking back

[@ShadowHunter-nh3rl]

Well, there’s a maximum amount of hives possible, and after that maximum is reached the hives cannot reproduce anymore, nor can there come any new ones. So after they’ve grown fully you can just let them stay in the same area. Oh yeah, and don’t ever destroy a part of the hives but not all of them. That’s a recippy for disaster as the scarrabs from the destroyed hive Will stay alive, but they won’t return anymore to their hives, as they don’t have any. This means you’ll have Scarabs all around the map in no time, and it’ll soon be out of control. This, well, diaspora of Scarabs Will mostly mean instant death, unless you’re in colder Climates where the Scarabs Will simply freeze to death. Then all you have to do is wait while they die. I guess that the treat of infestations would be a reason not to live around the equator, but tbh I think you’ve learned your lessen and for now will make sure not to get infestations haha.

Tip for ya on the wood issue.... Make a grow area were there are a lot of trees. make sure to not allow sowing cuz you DON'T want to plant anything.

[@dionysus6892]

This is almost a perfect story if we think of it in a realistic sense. A town tries to ignore a massive issue in hopes it goes away, possibly in part from poor leadership. The town tries to use an uncontrollable advantage against an enemy army, hubris and overconfidence take charge, the town goes to sleep as others suffer from their actions. The uncontrollable advantage suddenly changes to be against the town Again, the town thinks they're safe using others to protect them and die for them. But it all falls apart, they flee, ignoring injured comrades. The last stand is tried, but soon it all fails, and in a desperate struggle to survive, the colonists try to save themselves and sacrifice one another to escape. But, they all fall one by one. Not even "God" can save them. It's almost an epic ancient legend. Man tries to use a monstrous beast for its own purposes. He tries to play God and cowards in the face of danger, and is struck down for it.

[@4P0CA1YP5E]

Nutrient paste dispenser is a god send. Takes the place of cooks. So no need for them and has a higher efficiency when making meals. The downside is a -4 mood debuff. Also, agro creatures calm down after they sleep but they hunt down all humanoids on the map till that happens. If the raiders' mortar came with flame rounds you could have killed 2 birds with one mortar shell. 2 out of 3 that I let get setup had flame rounds. There is also a Fire At Will button when colonists are drafted that lets them fire at enemies freely.

Might want to double up the walls on the refridgerated area. It does actually help insulate it from the outside temperature.

[@kevina9796]

FYI the freezer temperature doesn't have to be in the negatives to freeze the food. I think it's under 32F. You can double check this by clicking on the food and it'll say Frozen (won't spoil). This will save you some power given it costs a lot to re cool such a low temperature. Second infestations will not spawn in an area below -17F. So if you WERE going to keep the temp so low, you could store your food under mountain, with that temp.

[@footballeratilla]

I'm new to Rimworld and I had no idea the giant bugs were brutal af I mean they took on the raider, multiple animals, armed traders and all colonists very easily and not even loosing one adult bug.

[@kaballfs]

There are 3 ways to deal with scars: replace the problem part with bionics/prosthetics, apply healer serum or the painstopper; all of them are expensive and late game, I believe you can buy them off of bulk traders' or prosthetic traders' ships, something like that, but requires microelectronics and are very expensive, or recieve as a quest reward, but rarely. Well, the trap layout is good, just needs more layers. You should know this by now, but a few traits causes binges and tantrums from time to time, like I believe it's called Gourmet, or Gourmand, I can't really remember, that causes food binges from time to time, Pyromania will cause fire starting sprees from time to time, Chemical Interest and some other one will cause drug binges, Misandrist and Misogenist will cause insult tantrums, and so on and so forth, and no, it doesn't matter what mood they're in, they simply will do it regardless, even at a perfect 100% mood. Sterile tiles speeds up research, helps prevent food poisoning when done in the kitchen and helps prevent infections when done in hospitals. You could have saved this, when the traders died you should've packed and left, you can form caravans with everyone and settle in some other place to abbandon this infested colony... Oh well. Nice playthrough, I've come to love your method and your videos, I'm slowly watching other series in your channel, great work, man, keep it up!

Cool idea! I've been trying to work out some of these infestation spawn chances and that might be an interesting way to deal with it

[@Torodes23]

@@ambiguousamphibian basically the spawn chanse of one spawning doesn't change. But you can influence where it spawns. The deeper inside a mountain and the more tiles with "overhead mountain" the higher the chance of it spawning. Light also influences it a small amount, but it is negotiable. And the temperature just stops it from spawning all together like you mentioned.

[@brownsnake0400]

Don't have your coolers vent into the airlock. You've effectively made the point of the airlock moot by constructing it the way you have. The hot air exhaust can also be used as a heat source for the colony during winters. To do this, build an airlock/ventway from the exhaust side of the cooler to an external wall of the area you wish to warm up (a good place to warm up is the airlock into the colony.) The airlock/ventway should have 2 chambers separated by a door. One chamber contains the exhaust side of the cooler, a doorway into the chamber and a doorway to the next chamber .The second chamber should have the doorway from the first chamber, and the vent into the colony/area you wish to heat. To use this system, keep the door entering the first chamber open during hot season. Keep the door between the chambers open during cold seasons and keep the door to the first chamber closed.

[@smelyspartan]

The funny way I've dealt with infestations is putting 7 heaters in the only cave that they can spawn in and making sure that all the walls are at least 3 thick (including triple doors) so they can't dig out quickly. then I just turn the temperature of the heaters up to +100C and they all die of heat stroke before they can dig out. Just make sure to turn them back down to -20C or so when not in use so you aren't wasting power and your colonists wont get heat stroke if they happen to enter the cave for any reason.

Well fought, subbed!

[@incolourxx2613]

The fact that you didn’t put down a spot and heal Lee killed me, I was having so much fun with this playthrough and I’m so sad it’s over

[@ambiguousamphibian]

Haha, yeah, my head was not on right after that megaspider Blitzkrieg XD - Glad you enjoyed tho!

[@ekothesilent9456]

It killed you? Homie it killed lee! XD

18:20 If you need some materials around for workflow reasons (like cooking), make sure you put them onto shelves. Most stuff you put into a storage zone has -Beauty while there. But that effect is nullified for stuff on a shelf. The Beauty bar always tends towards the Environmental Beauty. Short spells inside the storage building have nearly no effect. A lot of time in a uggly space, will drain that bar quickly however.

[@christopherg2347]

21:00 Cleanliness speeds up research. And it lessens Infection/Food Poison chance for Cooking and Doctoring. At least for Doctoring, it is a must. For cooking it is kinda-optional. For Research, it is a Luxury.

[@christopherg2347]

31:10 I always have my constructors on Plant Cutting and Crafting after Construction. If they ever run out of material, chances are they will quickly fix it (as long as I got rocks to Block and Trees to chop).

[@christopherg2347]

35:00 "Siege" raids will build a Siege Camp, consisting of *Mortars* that shell your Compound and some Sandbags. They are a danger on par with Infestations, due to sheer damage they can do.

[@christopherg2347]

37:35 Beer Flasks can be broken and used as Weaponry in Rimworld.

[@christopherg2347]

44:20 IIRC, Molotovs are unlimited. Only the Rocketlaunchers and similar Uncraftable "Artifacts" are single-use.

[@dokholladay]

Awesome Ending to a great playthrough! Loved it!

[@nyxxaos5673]

Infestations can happen within 30 tiles of your base (home zone), it doesn't need to be in a home zone specifically. tbh I turn off infestations in the scenario set up, they just get in the way and are too much to deal with. yes, you can bait them, but they will always eventually become a problem. also nutrient paste dispenser is an awesome option, especially when you have little skilled colonists, it gives them a small mood debuff of like -4, but that is so easy to offset with some nice bedrooms and recreation and stuff. please shoot me a msg if you need help setting up your next playthrough and if you wanna check out some simple quality of life mods ;)

[@ambiguousamphibian]

Huh interesting - and thanks, glad you enjoyed! Currently mainly jsut trying to learn vanilla, though potentially might change a bit someday - thanks for any recommendations tho!

[@nyxxaos5673]

@@ambiguousamphibian Loved the concept and series, I'll be there for the next one 😊 Whenever you need tips or help reach out dude!

[@jennifercavenee7572]

I went and poured myself a nice glass of wine as soon as those mega spiders finished off the raiders and started making their way to the base.

[@christopherg2347]

Sugestion for a Future Playthrough: Hannibal Lecter. Using the "Wealthy Explorer" start as Basis, make a landing party of 1 Cannibal and a Breeding pair of Dogs (for hauling). Only accept people that have no issues with Butchering Humans (Bloodlust, Cannibal and/or Psychopaths). The starting character should propably all 3. The big challenge is avoiding the "Butchered Human" penalty and having enough non-human food on hand so nobody has to eat the wrong stuff: rimworldwiki.com/wiki/Human_Resources

[@bertusm7149]

Thank you for the great series. It was fun to watch!

[@mocachino__]

Please, please do this type of play through again. It was awesome and would love to see how far you could get!

[@elbonnybar]

lesson learned, torch those damn mega spiders. and don't shoot at the spider if you're gonna kill with borrowed knife, those thing have photograpic memory.

[@necoom]

As soon as you saw all of your lines of defenses fall to the mega-spiders (the raiders, your wall, the traders, and your animals) what you should have done was abandon the entire base with a caravan. Of course, the first thing you should have done was deal with the infestation right from the start...

[@ambiguousamphibian]

Indeed - seems like a caravan to the east mgiht have saved us - all chalked up to experience for next time tho :p

[@derekdrake8706]

How to handle infestation: 1. Fill in cave completely. 2. If feasible, insulate cave and use heaters to bake them slowly. Never use fire, it doesn't burn them fast enough and you'll have made them very angry. 3. Move to other side of map and leave them alone(?) This may have changed but they'll stay in that general area and once they've reached critical mass, no more infestations should spawn so you're free to mine away. Raiders are also more likely to spawn near the infestation and will likely get zerged to Oblivion. 4. Move your colony to a different map. 5. Draft everyone and rush them IMMEDIATELY after they spawn. 6. Pray to the God Emperor for salvation for the emperor protects.

[@garych3094]

Another amall tip for u when u double click a thing it will show u the rest of the thing split at where

[@Danielthereviewer]

hey dude, you should give your prisoners a table and chair and AC if you can afford it, makes it a hell of a lot easier to recruit because they don't go insane as often.

[@tristanovic2-531]

the event that almost ruined my playtrue was the toxic fallout, all plants died which ruined the major harvest for the year, all the animals died so I couldn't hunt anything and it ended 6 days before winter.

[@ClonetrooperC4]

When you build entrances to your base you need kill-corridors followed by killchambers. They make ist easier to defend from intruders.

[@ambiguousamphibian]

Huh cool idea - I'd not thought of combining the two, though that sounds like a great defense!

[@PhoenixDomin8or]

Is it possible to back to a previous save? I'd like to see you continue with this one.

[@ambiguousamphibian]

Haha, thanks - I think I want to leave it there for this one, though I learned a ton and I'm glad you enjoyed Phoenix - similar stuff to come in the future, as I've saved up a bunch of interesting ideas

[@fitfatdan]

Yeah you screwed up but this was one of the most entertaining episodes I've seen of rimworld, also I don't even consider that a screw up !

[@Sarimaximus]

boy, Randy Rando has no mercy. This episode was just pure insanity. Sad to see it go though... was really enjoying it while it lasted.

[@Fbngonzalez]

You can Stop the Siege From Mounting Long range or their base at all, if you agro them as soon as they arrive or atleast agro them as soon as you can, prior to them Mounting mortars. Get a duo shooter combo, snipe some of them, they all will attack forward and then you can retrieve to your base defenses as a regular Raid

[@knownas2017]

I don't think my 3 year colony could've survived that Megaspider army. lol

[@grantmay1610]

R.I.P. It’s been a good time while they lasted

[@dbarr49]

Next time if you have boomalope/rat in the area, tame (or buy) them in case of an infestation and send them into the nest to die. Acts essentially like a molotov and they are easier to come by.

[@matox01tekk]

great serie im going to watch more of your stuffs man, did you think about making Kenshi serie ?

[@julian2k650]

This much grow zones is inefficient. They’re constantly harvesting something which is time consuming, you need to get a big one with corn and 2 medium ones with Healroot and smokeplant(and hay ofcourse). Get a stone cutter table in the room where all the stone chunks are and set up one colonist to do stone cutting as number 1 priority. If the room is cold or not much lighting they produce something with less speed I think. You need to focus more on the work tab and try to get some colonist not to do everything but more only specific things. And don’t assign everybody to something. That’s what I do to get my colony more efficiently. if you have only one cook or two they level up faster and can produce food on mass in a small time frame if it’s also there number one priority. Thanks ! I hope I helped a lil if something is wrong you guys can correct me.

[@enclavenghtmae1475]

Personally I like to use nutrient paste dispensers because they free up any cooks and require less food anyways

[@Diditixi]

This was an awesome episode! Never give up!

[@Ordostank]

People who know very little of Rimworld are the most entertaining to watch.

[@1888joel]

10:56 Yes, my life.
