The Absolute Beginners guide to Rimworld 1.0- part 3

[@kr0ll3x]

I went into this series thinking: "I'm just gonna skip around in the video and see what the game's about" but I instead ended up watching these videos with all my attention, non-stop for the last 1-2 hours. Seems like an awesome game. Currently sitting on the steam store page for it contemplating if it's worth it, I strongly believe it is. Great series! Love it! 1+ sub

[@BugPowderDust]

Glad you enjoyed it, why not watch my latest series, The Beach As for if to get it- just do it. Best money you'll have spent, I've been playing since 2014!

[@kadhom100]

as of 2020 this series is still very useful. I am just starting to play and this is awesome tbh. Thank you for making these!

[@BugPowderDust]

Thankyou, glad you found it useful. Although much has been added to the game since, the basics are largely the same.

[@daedalus1]

Greetings from 2022. Still the best noob guide I have found thus far. Thank you!

This series is really helping me understand. Thanks for taking the time to do it. Rimworld is really overwhelming when you start playing it and the in game tutorial doesn't teach you half this stuff.

[@briangallagher5452]

Brilliant series. I came back to this game inspired by the isolation of Covid-19. The mellow tones of the narration have kept me watching, even though I know most of it. Sublime.

[@BugPowderDust]

Thanks Brian, appreciate it :)

[@salmonellasam2755]

Used to think these long tutorials w multiple episodes weren’t worth the time, but honestly you’ve done better than any 10 min video could’ve done cheers broski.🤘🤘

[@BugPowderDust]

Cheers. I genuinely don't think you can help any beginner to RW with a 10 min video very much. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@giraffediety2477]

One trick I've found regarding stockpiles: When you click on a stock pile, you can set its "priority". I put the starting stockpile on "low" so when I make proper storages (fridge, infirmity, the all-important beer fridge) I don't have to un-allow from the outside stockpile. As I make more "normal" priority store rooms, the pawns move things from the outside to the cozy inside.

[@BugPowderDust]

Good tip, thanks :)

[@Boy-pr2uz]

I love this series so much, bought the game today and I am now trying my luck. Thank you for being here and showing us your tips and tricks

[@BugPowderDust]

Glad you found it useful, have fun! Remember, it's not about winning, losing is very much part of the game, as are memorable base wipes

[@mckenziecampbell4418]

18:30 : From what I've read, if one was to reduce resistance it would get the prisoner to a state where they could easily be recruited but not right away. So, if you wanted to try to keep them for a longer period of time for slaving or something, if might not be a bad idea. I also read, from someone, that they use it for withdrawals from drugs, easier to manage a prisoner than a civi, or so they say; haven't gotten that far yet myself. Thank you for the videos, I've found them a real treat and great learning experience. Through my first few days of playing I've learned a fair amount on my own and from reading, but the few things that I have missed you've shown me through here. Thanks!

[@BugPowderDust]

Hey, glad you found them useful, and you're right about the resistance. It's also good for training that skill too.

[@SteveAkaDarktimes]

Switching lamps/turrets/stoves on and off requires a pawn to go there and flick the switch. its much simpler to build a lone, unconnected power conduit into the wall, and then use the "reconnect" button. this makes the device switch Grids. with this you can activate or deactivate things remotely yourself.

[@camrnjurena]

With all the work and knowledge you put into this I can't believe people actually took time out of their day to hit the dislike button. I can't fathom why.

[@BugPowderDust]

Pfft, water off a duck's back. Who knows why people hit 'dislike', and honestly, I'm not slightly bothered. If this series helps even one person, I'm happy

[@marcellorenzz9525]

Thanks from me too! Never really got into the game until I stumbled over your tutorials.

[@BugPowderDust]

Glad I could help :)

[@-AnyWho]

don't forget to put in tool cabinets in near your crafting benches, that will increase crafting by 6% and you can stack up to two and this will apply to research as well ... 12% increase speed on researching is very nice.

[@icata12345]

who could of known

[@nodnarbregztem8546]

Tool cabinet DOES NOT apply to research. Multiple threads confirm this. Wiki confirms it. Don't confuse people if it happens that you have some mod that allows that, which i'd doubt.

This game seemed really fun so I got it but the in game tutorial glossed over a lot of things and the abundant amount of choices I could make simply overwhelmed me. If it wasn't for this guide I think I would've given up on the game, this was so so so so so helpful.

When resistance drops to zero its a garuntee that you will recruit them no matter the difficulty. Normally i dont deal with high resistance and high difficulty and i just harvest them for organs and chop them up and turn them into kibble.

1. You can run power lines through Rock, you just need to smooth it out first 2. Smoothen marble stone floor has higher beauty than wood floors. 3(?) only wardens can move prisoners around.

[@BugPowderDust]

Thanks Clyde, superb tips! DIdn't realise you can run power lines through smoothed rock! Dayum. Smoothed floors do take ages so I'm not surprised they have a higher beauty

[@Zlyde007]

@@BugPowderDust I think the time to smooth them balances out the fact that they dont use resources and a pawn can never botch smoothing surfaces. With a high enough construction skill, smoothing a large room is faster than a pawn with the same skill having to run back and forth delivering resources.

[@BugPowderDust]

@@Zlyde007 that is a good point. And a good way to buff a low construction skill too. Interesting... thanks again

Why everything has its own room, I mean like butchering and stove for example. Is it because having it all in one room will compound all of the undesirable points ?

[@BugPowderDust]

Butchering and cooking must always be in two separate rooms. Cooking is very sensitive to a dirty room (you get food poisoning), and butchering causes a lot of dirt (blood). As for bedrooms, you can put them in a barracks- as long as it's beautiful enough, this works better than a separate bedroom each

[@Mage-Andrey]

Don't know if someone pointed out yet - but in case of infection, if infection is faster than immunity gain, as a last resort you can amputate the infected part. As long as it's not a torso like in this case =) But if the doctor doing the amputation is bad - instead of amputating infected finger you may lose whole arm on critical failure (true story). That's also not a tragedy if you're at least in midgame, just buy a bionic limb and replace the natural one, bionics are better anyway.

[@BugPowderDust]

Thankyou Mage, this isn't widely known so very useful to have that here. To clarify for anyone who doesn't know, Infections are generally 'race' conditions between the infection and immunity. Whichever gets to 100% first will 'win'.

[@donaldcedar7574]

For a game that lets you make sophisticated priority algorithms I am surprised it doesn't allow you to set harvest 100% grown wild plants automatically.

[@BugPowderDust]

Well...there's a reason for that- unless they are in a grow zone, they don't get harvested. Otherwise, your pawns will spend their time running around the map, harvesting everything they can, whether they like it or not. You can get them to auto-harvest by putting down a grow-zone under the thing you want auto-harvested, and set it to 'do not allow sowing'. Doesn't matter what the plant type is, they will now auto-harvest the 'thing'
