It's Tunneling Time! - Rimworld Biotech Ep. 9 [Rimworld Tropical Rainforest Randy 500%]

[@PeteComplete]

Lots of progress in this episode and in turned out longer than I expected. Let me know what to do with our sla... I mean "repenter", and how we should proceed with Brandon's psycasting. Enjoy :) ► Full Playlist: bit.ly/3F07o8p ► The first chapter of this story in the cold bog: bit.ly/3ZY1C0Q

[@lefterismplanas4977]

Longer than you expected? I wouldn't want it any shorter ! The opposite even, a couple of minutes more would've been just fine

[@videogamerNattie98]

The choice of psycasts mod id recommend and you also have the choice in the mod settings to reduce and increase the amount given if 3 is to much freedom reduce it down to 2, if 3 is to few you can put it all the way up to 5 options but its still luck of the draw by the end of the day. 3 is a good balance, but if you think its to much reducing it to 2 would allow you some freedom of choice in avoiding some bad psycasts by your opinion while still allowing randomness to decide what you get.

[@TheyCallHimMuse]

Many nations do not punish people for attempting to escape prison, accepting that a desire to be free is a perfectly natural impulse. As such, I would be inclined to be lenient to repenters that don't commit obviously unacceptable actions. Tiffi's banishment was justified, but I think it's fair to give Dmitriy another chance.

[@Alvsyn]

Great answer

[@wanamingo]

Dmitriy arrived to the the colony carrying EMP grenades while having almost 0 combat skills, so he's literally just a medical assistant that the raider team took with them to patch them up when needed. The escape attempt cemented that idea, he grabbed the least threatening weapon off the shelf and missed all the shots, probably startled by how loud the shots were in the tunnels. I suspect if he spends time in the colony and gets to know the people, he will realize that tending to people who don't actively raid, kill, and pillage is actually quite rewarding.

[@zachariasbechtle236]

Also changing your belief to a follower of Boyo would overpower most by the amount of sin in their past life they have to repent for now, making them lash out. I'm not that deep into the game mechanics, but don't nearly all slaves try to escape at some point? So it seems to me banishing every slave after one attempt of escape makes the whole effort kind of pointless. That said, Tiffi had to go!

[@salintilley4406]

Why do the slaves keep revolting? Where is the suppression bar and why aren’t they suppressed?

[@atoth62]

I think this whole slavery thing isn't working out. Dmitry should be made a full member of the colony or else released. And from an ideological standpoint, he can certainly still pay for his sins while not being enslaved and still being a member of the colony.

[@samueltrusik3251]

Within the safety of the mountain, we shall grow and harden, becoming the best shelter for the needing, and the sharpest weapon against the wicked. -Believers of Boyo motto

[@PeteComplete]

That's actually a great addition for the ideology description!

[@AdelarLerigon]

I think it's ok to give Dmitriy another chance. He didn't attack a child, at least. Also, installing the choice of psycasts mod seems appropriate.

[@MomirViggwilv]

I think that Transhumanist as a potential core-meme would be very interesting. You mentioned before that you wanted to focus on genetics this game, and upgrading the pawns with new genes. Why not also upgrade them with technology? Perhaps the believers of boyo believe in transforming the body to also transform the soul in the quest for redemption.

I love the visual of Tiffi getting skipped right into Wyatt's blade. I mean that is such an anime move there.

[@RecoveringNihilist]

I think you should go with the transhumanist meme. It's good for exploring everything the Biotech expansion has to offer, and with a little rhetoric it fits the lore fine. "The Believers of Boyo wish to transcend their sinful flesh to become virtuous machines." or something like that.

[@randomcommenteronthispost]

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine. Your kind cling to your flesh as if it will not decay and fail you.

[@PeteComplete]

And here's what Issak Young wrote about Wyatt: "Wyatt is the brawn, the knight in shining armor, the soldier. He was abandoned at birth to do his...deformity...& was abandoned at birth to die by exposure (what would have been Kevin's fate if he wasn't the chiefs son.) He was saved by a warrior clan passing by & was raised to become a warrior, simple enough. Trained to master the art of combat, he was pushed to his mental & physical limits, building a huge pain tolerance, learning the way of the sword & spear, guarding & protecting his new home & killing his tribes enemies in raids. All that changed one day when he was captured in battle, forced to fight in a raiding squad that attacked livienna, and so the story goes, He's a stoic man, not the most charismatic or warmest fellow, but he's the best defender that the believers of boyo got. His biggest flaw is probably that he's sensitive about his looks, hopefully the believers are able to do something about that through some gene mods one day. (Side note: I think it's funny in a hypothetical sense that this guilt-ridden, remorseful people who want to atone for past sins & help people, would judge & hate a man based solely on his looks, talk about skewed priorities right?)"

[@anon_234]

You should open the Gibbet Cages. The corpses inside will have more than just tainted clothing on them. You can find some interesting items that way.

[@sourcererseven3858]

And for role-play reasons: The Believers in Boyo might want to give these poor souls a proper burial.

[@spectreincarnate4752]

Ah, I wondered why he was ignoring the cages... Dang I feel like the game should let you check to see if someone is still hanging onto life.. rarely but maybe? Though I guess that would have to be modded in.

[@PeteComplete]

And here's what Issak Young wrote about Kevin: "Kevin is probably one of the saner cast in this merry band of weirdos & freaks, but you wouldn't think that with his backstory, my headcanon is that Kevin with his origins is that he was born under an eclipse, a dark omen for his tribe, normally he would be abandoned to die by exposure per tradition, but because he was the chiefs son he was spared just barely. His life was one of hardship, he was barely tolerated by his clan for his perceived wickedness, bullied by the tribe children & adults alike, even his family despised him, his mother especially, yep he's got mommy issues, that's why he's a misogynist, this bred a bitter & snarky personality to cope with his circumstances. (Picture house M.D if you ever watched that show.) after sometime he just couldn't take it anymore, leaving in the dead of night to parts unknown. He then somehow got involved in a cult that worshipped the shadows (unrelated to the other ideology that worships the dark) learning there ways of stealth & surprisingly indepth understanding of medicine & the human body, adopting something akin to the hippocratic oath. He decided to become a traveling doctor afterwards, healing the sick & dying, eventually ending up in the cult of jingz and so the story goes, Kevin isn't a nice person, but who can blame him after the life he's lived? He's misogynistic, rude, snarky, and possibly a coward (or a pacifist, but honestly, who can afford to be one on the rimworld.) But he genuinely wants to help his patients & is one of the best doctors this side of the planet. He also acts as the de-facto leader & negotiator of the believers of boyo. (I guess even Kevin knows that a bit of charm & diplomacy goes a long way.)"

Access to weapons makes slaves rebel. Everyone you attempt to reform will always grab a gun and try to escape if they have access.

[@TheOnlyBloke]

Glad to see my comic made it in haha, great vid as always

[@claykalmar8131]

Maybe enslavement as a mechanic isn't the best for our repentance strategy. Maybe they have to do menial labor and wear old clothes for a while if you want to set them apart. Also, while leveling Brandon's nobility, I think we should still make Wyatt a minor noble, as nights in real life were.

[@peterwhy8032]

Thanks, Pete; I'm enjoying watching Boyo develop. I think Dimitry would definitely be a good addition to the colony, so give him another chance. And Choice of Psycast fills an uncomfortable gap in Rimworld's philosophy; that absolute randomness sometimes seems like a very poor reward for the work involved in acquiring the new abililty.

[@gobertdumpf8139]

Lovely episode as always! For better slave control: Make a distinct weapons room that is excluded from the slave zone. Give the slaves smokepop launchers or EMP grenades, when they provre themselves defending the Believers of Boyoat a risk, emencipate them. Rebelling slaves should only be attacked by unarmed melee. Go with a choice of psycasts, the randomness bothers me in my games, too.

[@gabyfraga9294]

Damn I have binge watched all of the rimworld series in the channel and now I'm beyond invested in the lore haha. Can`t wait for the next episode!

[@lforlight]

I'm under the firm belief that if the ideology's memes disapprove slavery and give Boyo mood penalties for it, there is no amount of mental gymnastics to justify slavery in the current state of the ideology. If you're so focused on having slaves, change the ideology. Make it make sense through game mechanics. There's no reason to torture your colonists with a virtually permanent penalty. Remember that Jinx had discomfort/torture built-in into its ideology, and it made the colonists happy through mood buffs. You didn't start cutting trees to justify their desire for discomfort with debuffs from going against the memes. Ultimately, mood is what determines what makes sense within an ideology and what doesn't.

[@stanleyh.904]

The reason your slaves keep rebelling is that they are in eyesight of weapons. The elephant tusks and guns are all easily accessible and each time a slave pawn is near them it causes that pawn to roll for a chance to escape. If you create an armory and a zone that does not include the armory you will stop getting the failed escape attempts.

[@cattrucker8257]

I'm seconding the Transhumanist suggestion, it could be really cool to see combined with the so-far homely rancher style community. While on that point, if another meme is desired, Rancher sounds decent too - animals are innocent and need to be shepherded, people are guilty and need to be improved. And Transhumanism will help funnel the campaign towards Biotech-specific stuff, which is what we needed a new campaign for in the first place. Axouch getting a hit for the "ouch" bit just before leaving made me chuckle.

[@slovenkaLOL]

Imagine they got hit with an axe, how satisfying that would be! Also, I didnt think of the rancher before, it does make a lot of sense, love the suggestion

[@ChronoShadow69]

I'm reminded of a quote from the closing scene of a great movie: "But... I shot at you, I tried to *kill* you, [Protagonist]!" "This is true, but you did not connect. You shot a plate. Had you connected, maybe [Banishing you from the colony] might have been justified." It's so *righteous*!

[@papadeutsh7845]

[@MrMortull]

Penitent. The word you're looking for is Penitent. Also, it's perfectly natural to want to try and escape... punishment has already been served if you ask me! Might want to look into some "terror" sculptures to keep them suppressed, or otherwise improve mood?

[@RogalDorn01]

Teenager gets a pass, losing a toe is going to be a permanent reminder

[@Ytoc67]

I feel like making them members of a lesser stature instead of slaves would work out a lot better. They should have worse clothes because their sins are visible, worse food because you should feel bad as well. You should like restrict them to simple meals and no chocolates and make them work at night while the others are asleep so they can clean the monastery and cleanse their sins through labour or depending on what their other tasks are set them up in a different area and have them only come into the main area after an ingame month or some other time limit. You can visit the cool mountain monastery but you don't get to sleep here.

[@peterwhy8032]

I like this; captives become second-class citizens, instead of slaves. Possibly with promotion if they do something specially helpful for the colony. Though, if they continue to rebel, strip them and release/exile them.

[@rustyhowe3907]

Yay for another episode, thank you Pete!🏆

[@prismaticcrow]

I don't think the Slavery thing is really going to work out too well. There just isn't enough suppression going so they're going to constantly try to escape. If suppression is not in the nature of Boyo, then slavery is just going to be an exercise in futility. You're basically just hoping that the enslaved will rng luck into good behavior (and the rng in this case favors breakouts due to the lack of suppression). Since you're no stranger to role play anyway, I would just induct them into the colony and "role play" their penance. Say, if they don't do something worthy in 30 or so days, you banish them, or something like that. Conversely, you could lean into the suppression, but that might take the Believers in a slightly different ideological direction. ;)

[@slovenkaLOL]

I like the more merciful approach of giving slaves another chance. However limiting their access to certain areas that hold weapons or just arent of interest could be implemented, i think movement and space have an effect on rebellions. Having some kind of special meal plan including sweets or milder narcotics in order to keep them happy could also help a little. Take it as a way to give them more room to expand the mind while limiting their physical space. May even pair nicely with the hight life meme. A more twisted approach would be removing a leg while they are repenting, with the intention of exchanging it for a better one in the future, which would perhaps be thematic for a transhumanist meme? Anyways, love how this series is developing :)

[@waowayo]

How do you plan to explore most of the biotech content while limiting yourself in the research tree? Most of biotech's fun content is in the late/endgame: Creating boss mechs, engineering supersoldiers, stuff like that No matter what you choose to do, though, I'm sure I'll love the series and I've loved it so far :)

[@PeteComplete]

It won’t be possible to explore everything in one go, but we have a third chapter waiting after this to explore more. We did something similar with Royalty, the desert series explored most of the titles and permits system while the Cult of Jingz went much heavier on the psycasting. But we‘ll see, who knows how this series will go :)

[@michaels.3709]

@@PeteComplete I think exploring the genetics techs in this season is a great idea. The Believers of Boyo could look to using knowledge to "repair the damage of the past" (with the possibility of using Biosculpters to symbolically repair the ritual scars from the Cult of Jingz). I don't feel like the Believers would look too much into the mechanitor technologies, but that would be a really interesting central topic for Chapter 3. The 3-act story seems to be following a redemption arc. The Cult was the initial "fall", the Believers are trying to atone by building a safe and healing space, then chapter 3 could focus on "Building a better Future" through taming technology, specifically that of mechanoids. This would track with finishing the ongoing Archonexus quest, too, offering a natural transition into "Transhumanist" as a core meme and possibly a "reformation" of the members of the Believers who continue into the next chapter into an Archist-style ideoligion. On the topic of Brandon's psycasting, I think having the psycast options mod would be fine to do here, too, so long as the choices are story/character motivated (or at least can be reasonably justified). Pretty much everything you do in these series has been well within my threshold for "suspending my disbelief", so I think simple justifications for the choice of psycasts would be all that's needed!

When power becomes a problem, you should definitely go for chemfuel generators, since one single boomalope is capable of keeping 2.4 generators up and you'll have at least 3 producing chemfuel, you can easily keep 7 generators up and running at all times even without a refinery.

It might make more sense later, but I think Transhumanist would be a no-brainer with the direction that this colony is going. There’s also a huge time cut bonus you get from being transhumanist with the bio regeneration pod which is fun. Let us shed the guilt that comes with our carnal nature, to advance the world, we must advance ourselves!

[@liamjp99]

Also, when the time comes: You might get a vampire meeting thing, probably don’t take the xenogerm implantation gift because they’ll most likely ask to join the colony anyway. You’ll know what I mean.

[@Qutut]

I personally would LOVE to add Transhumanist, since it fits so well with adding some Biotech stuff as well. As for the last Meme slot, I think either Pain is Virtue or Collectivist would fit the Believers of Boyo perfectly.

[@lifeisasimulation1671]

Would love to see a twist to this chartiy and kindness playthrough. Being a goody-goody two shoes is all well and good, but the depths of this can go oh so much deeper (hehe tunneler). Perhaps the regular colonists truly believe they are repenting and doing away with sin; but deep within the darkest and gloomiest recess of the mountain base, is a sanguophage overmind. Slaves that rebel are sent away to the "repenting pit", where the colonists believe the sinners will learn the error of their ways; instead they are put into hemogen farms. The regular colonists will have no idea this is happening, completely under the illusion of the masquarade. Only a few of the upper echelon title holders know the dark secret of the colony. A brainwashed colony. A sanguophage overmind, hidden from view.

for the psycasts, maybe a choice of 2 or 3 to keep it somewhat random would be good, if the mod can do that? And keep Dmitriy, as he didn't hurt anyone - no harm no foul

[@audreypuppy]

I think it's fair to give Dmitriy another chance. Mostly because he is one of the few new faces who wasn't in the previous series, si it'd be nice to have more newer characters (though Tiffi's banishment feels justified). Not that there's anything wrong with the older ones, the colony just feels a bit full of them at the moment.

Beyond the question of your most recent escapee, it seems to me like you have a problem with it being too easy for the repentia to escape. Have you considered leaving them to do menial tasks like making blocks in a practically sealed off Cave of Penance? Sometimes, people don't want to be saved and need to be...convinced.

[@Kedzie_]

What about using minor body part loss as the flagellation punishment part of redemption? Thinking Sylas from 'The DaVinci Code' - monk seeking redemption/salvation (for being an albino) and punishes himself when he 'fails'. If one eventually loses all the fingers on one hand, they get exiled

I think some kind of system to continue to allow the repenters to continue repenting after breakouts should be a thing as they're always going to eventually try and break out as thats the nature of the game mechanics. Should be some ground rules on when they're exiled or allowed to continue their repentance

[@timothybartlett5493]

I'm not sure how I feel about the whole slavery angle with the Believers of Boyo. Guilty or not, why would the people of Red Chapel attempt to atone for one guilt by embracing another? Repentance is a belief that must come from within, forced servitude only breeds resentment. I'd say perhaps the Believers of Boyo convert their prisoners to their ideology and allow them the choice of join. If they don't, they're allowed to leave peacefully. Based on this, I'd say give Dmitriy another chance and abandon the slavery thing entirely. I like the choice of psycasts mod, and I think it would be interesting to see Brandon become a noble with the Empire.

In regards to meme choice It would be kind of fitting if the survivors of Boyo wrecked by their guilt would cast away their humanity and embrace transhumanism in an effort to better themselves Or go with collecitivsm, in an effort to assuade individual guilt each member is giving their all for the group, a noble self sacrifice or misguided fanaticism
