[@ЛетовЕгор-в8д]

This probably was already mentioned somewhere in the comment section but... 1) Keep the doors to your base and storage open when it's safe to do so, it saves a lot of time on opening doors. 2) You should haul rice before setting Lee to cook it. Because he walks around carrying 10x rice to the fireplace, when he can carry like 40x + to the storage. Small adjustments, lots of time.

[@ambiguousamphibian]

Thanks for the good tips! Just picked up on (1) in a future vid, and (2) could definitely save time - trying to work out how to do this without manually prioritizing so much stuff as well in case you have any tips on that end ^.^

[@ЛетовЕгор-в8д]

@@ambiguousamphibian Yeah, most of "efficient" approach usually involves a lot of micromanagement and holding SHIFT. Like if you want to haul a lot of steel from wherever you dig it from. You hold shift and > "prioritize hauling to the stockpile". Probably, the best way to make this efficiency more "automated' is setting priorities in "Work" tab. If you need to clean your whole base, you just set "Clean" to 1 and everything else to at least 2. However, I don't know how to automate things more efficient than personal micromanagement of things. Would love to hear it from someone else though. In any case. Efficiency isn't always what games are about. It drives me insane that I am unable to enjoy the game when something isn't "just right". I often restart my colonies because I don't like the infrastructure that I came up with. Which ruins a lot of trivia in the game. TLDR: Shift+"order" = quick set of actions. Great videos, nice voice to fall asleep to.

[@MGSLurmey]

@@ambiguousamphibian Without mods or having hauling be a higher priority than most other work types (bad idea), it's not really possible aside from micromanagement. If you'd consider mods, "While You're Up" is a mod that will fix this specific issue. It simply tells pawns to haul nearby items whenever they start a new job, if those items would be dropped off in a location near to the job they start. (Lee is in the rice field, he wants to cook, he sees all the rice around him and knows it would be stored by the stove, so he gathers it up, drops it off at the stove and then begins cooking.)

[@cameronvg2861]

so your hallway of traps is a great idea! a good hallway for traps, a tip is to place doors in between the open spaces so that colonists can go through the replace the spike traps and not have a chance of hitting them themselves. another thing is that the raiders might not follow the line you're expecting because the common raiders will follow the quickest and least of resistance method of getting to your stockpiles and your pawns (and power generation later on). simply keeping the doors open or not having doors in the spiked hallway will give an incentive of reaching into the base that way, because the other way in is a double door while the hallway would only be one door instead of three doors it was prior. besides that, you're looking great! one last thing is maybe to get some sort of outer wall protection with maybe deconstructing the abandoned stone walls and using them for the outermost part of your wall. raiders like to catch that stuff on fire or just breakthrough if they are other types, even commons if they see that it would be quicker.

[@barkinghampalace5032]

I love your series so far, and you've inspired me to give this scenario a try myself. One thing i would recommend is to consider lighting in the area when doing whatever work chore (apart from cleaning). The absence of full lighting reduces workspeed by 20 percent on things like smoothing, art, plant work. Plopping down torches even outside (although roofed, cause rain will actually put out torches faster) pretty much means you can be at least 10 percent faster in evening outdoor tasks.

you can make pemmican (should research it, it is amazing, long-lasting food without refrigeration is amazingly useful.) your rice and meats can be turned into that. along with the cow milk because cow milk counts as a meat within the game

Sure, haha - glad they're helping Corey! And thanks! Feedback is super appreciated on that 👍 Glad you like!

Hi there. 3 things for quick advice. Lee is currently running to the field to grab 10 rice instead of Hauling 45 of them to a nearby stockpile. Set his work priorities. Look for space ship chunks in the area. quick way to get some steal and components. Faster then mining at skill level 1. Put down 2 more sowing fields. I advice Hay in order to have cows able to eat it instead of beeing fed simple meals. Later you want to use kibble (Hay + Meat). The other field Healroot. He wont be able to plant it yet. But you will want him to start directly when the plant skill is high enough. Oh and to confirm an assumption you made about Panthera fur. It will have way better base stats including Armor % Damage reduction and the fur is 'warm'. This is top5 type of leather to use. Alternatively you could sell it for a decent amount. Good Luck!

[@JacobEllinger]

A cool trick to get all your fields food stored after harvest is to designate a pack animal and designate a area for it near the field. Then go on a trek on the world map but cancel it and return to base to unload everything into your storage area from your pack animal. It's hard to explain in text but you can mess around in creative if your not sure what I'm talking about.

[@lordhelix2760]

One of the many rules of rimworld: Raiders are a commodity. In multiple ways. 1. You have the slave traders whom you can sell slaves too (however becareful pawns get upset for selling away another pawn) 2. You can carve them up and make them into hats and nice bacon slabs (pawns will get upset for butching another human unless they're a psychopath or a cannibal and will get upset for eating human flesh except cannibals of course) 3. A supply of clothing you can rip from their corpses. (Pawns will get upset for wearing dead people clothes except one trait I cant think of) or if they are living just take it off them before they die. 4. Being able to improve skills i.e. social, medicine, combat skills. If you want to pacify a prisoner medically remove their leg.

[@lordhelix2760]

Prisoners should also always get the most luxurious rooms, they deserve it for what you put them through.

[@ambiguousamphibian]

THanks for the tips! Definitely might be using some of these, and I think that's spot on analysis thinking of them as a commodity in many ways :p I think making a couple new bedrooms for potential new colonists or prisoners would be great at this point, now after reading this.

[@Eisofice]

I love the idea of s cow herd being Lee's only family

[@ambiguousamphibian]

Haha, was thinking of some sort of Noah's Ark-themed playthrough, now that you mention this :p

[@zaikolebolsh5724]

Later on use marble, you have chosen an excellent area, marble is very nice for building, colonist love it and is also good material for sculptures, which can be very profitable if you get a colonist with decent skill, if not you can use them for decorating the dinning/recreation room and the lads will love it, will bring some nice mood boost

[@ambiguousamphibian]

Thanks Zaiko! I'm super glad there's marble as well. Any feedback on other stone types is super welcome as well. I think the only three I really see the use of are marble, granite, and sandstone, respectively useful for beauty, strength, and speed of construction. Any others you might know of that are useful? Thanks again!

[@zaikolebolsh5724]

@@ambiguousamphibian i don't know that much about the game but yeah, grinite seems to be one of the strongest materials, also making the floor out of metal will give a "cleanness" bonus for when you make an actual kitchen so you will get less chances of food poisoning, great idea for a series keep it up

[@zozilin]

Wow, you didn't sound like a stoner several months ago. Pretty energetic, I like it.

[@Stars11222]

tip: you can put cables in the walls and they will be hidden from sight. anything you want to attach it will have its own cable. cant put them in the mountain walls though, anything you can construct is a-ok. Also, if you press the "i" when you click on a n item ill tell you more information about it, this is especially important for clothes as you can tell what the heat and cold resistance it has

[@PuttyPuppy]

Oh since I'm still watching, not sure if your going to know this/do this by the end: But you can limit how far people will go for materials. Ex; you can limit how far people go for materials for cooking. I see lee putting milk on the fire then running out to grab 5 more rice, which wastes a huge amount of time. Hauling>cooking from within base is a big saver.

[@PuttyPuppy]

I didn't really say HOW to do this though; you go into the settings on the work bill, and you can limit the range of it.

[@SaberTask]

I remember my first successful colony. Grew a bunch of potatoes, had a couple fat guys while one of them was a gourmet, and when it failed in the end I sealed one of my guys in a cryptosleep casket.

[@kgevans]

If you strip prisoners or downed enemies you will get untainted clothes which you can sell or use. Otherwise if they die in them they are almost useless

[@thegiantenemyspider1]

i like how a cow has more combat prowess and skill than half of my colonists. rimworld moment

[@TheWizardGandy]

I like that boiling milk on a campfire somehow constitutes a meal.

[@KinekaiNHFan]

If Lee is in the fields the more time passes, plant some flowers outside. Not the pot ones, but actual flowers, like rice. They increase beauty around and animals can eat them. Be careful if a chilly day comes around. It kills almost all crops in a snap.

[@MrMirandy]

Defending with animals is actually quite good! They are a very good meat shield, they are free (they autobreed on food), there is no cap, and they have more hp than a colonist. For example, if u have like 8 muffalos they can tank a rather big raid while your colonist shoot from behind. Plus, they are movable defence, unlike turrets. So basically a muffalo is much more efficient than a mini turret. And u can get it for free and early in game.

[@mmeerrccyy]

hey, found your channel recently via your worm man project zomboid videos, i watched some of your older stuff and I've been wondering if you plan on continuing the dead rising mall challenge? if not that's okay because i love rimworld too, keep up the good work!!

[@ambiguousamphibian]

Thanks! So glad you enjoy the vids! Unfortunately I stopped the mall challenge and I think now that the new build is out, I'm probably going to leave it there, but open to new, possibly similar ideas in the future too ^.^ Or even another mall challenge with the new build once more updates happen possibly!

[@Trashpanda115]

[@xxxch33ky_skrubxxx24]

You should hold the door that’s closest to the dining chair open so that your killbox works since most raiders will go for the path of least resistance to your colonist’s bed. If a raid happens they will have to break through the outer doors instead of walking through the traps

[@fenchellforelle]

i really like the timelapses to skim through boring bits, but i feel that something like background music would really help make them feel less like an awkward pause in the commentary :)

[@quinnreilly3736]

Funnily enough I was about to tell you to name the cow Bessie. Good work lol

[@zayl777]

Haha "why does God give bulls horns..." probably to show authority. The male elk, for example, fight for mates and usually the bigger the horns are, the more powerful the male is.

[@CanadasElite]

Some advice that will help: Crafting (and treating people) in darkness gives you worse outcome. Since his crafting is 1 or 0, it probably won't make a difference in quality, but it does affect speed still. Digging into the mountain can spawn large bug infestations. Be careful or remove the thick stone roof one way with mods or the hard vanilla way. Or just build outside. Stripping corpses before they die yields untainted clothes that colonists can wear without mood debuffs. Tainted clothes are only good for scrapping for their fabric otherwise. Smoothing the walls and floors makes a -1 beauty to +2 beauty, totally worth the effort. Cover the dirt with wood floors, nice houses really improves the pawn's mood. Cut stone blocks for walls or deconstruct ruins for some solid and fireproof walls. Steel is also flammable in this game so steel walls don't help (and is a waste tbh). I like to make two or more pastures and keep my herbivores save behind stone walls. Alternate between the two pastures so they always have something to eat. So far so good though, you are doing pretty well! I also wanted to name the cow Bessie so nice pick.

[@peterprime2140]

The quality of clothes is solely affected by the crafting skill, this probably applies to other items that fall under the crafting skill. I'm also not sure about light affecting treatment, I think it might only affect surgery.

[@CanadasElite]

@@peterprime2140 I've made lots of terrible beds in the dark bedrooms. I craft them in the light and move them in dark bedrooms.

I tried this. My lone colonist contracted malaria 8 days after crashlanding. Damn you Randy

[@shayneferryman9268]

You can smooth out the walls in the floor inside his bedroom that are Stone and improves the beauty of the room

[@ambiguousamphibian]

Great tip! Might do this, as it's always nice to have an impressive bedroom

[@ambiguousamphibian]

Ah yes, just looked back at my notes for this :p The reason I haven't smoothed the floors is because I thought that smoothed floors can get dirt tracked in on them, while rough stone floors can't have this happen with them, though rough stone does not make the room dirty, as with dirt. Does this make sense? I'm still working out the details, though a guide on dirt/rough stone floors led me to this reasoning. Not sure if I read it correctly

[@AramatiPaz]

Real talk, if you get into an apocalypse situation, you want a vet over a human doctor. They are much better suited to treating a wider variety of problems, as well as recognizing issues that you might be unlikely to see in a human while society is intact (ie: issues stemming from consuming bad water or other sanitation based issues).

You should put your wood-fueled stove outside, but build a roof over it. Also, you might need steel or components to complete it, check the description. Also, at least try to trade with everyone who comes by, it helps your social

[@ambiguousamphibian]

Thanks! Curious as to the reasoning for having the stove outside? Though I'm def open to it! And thanks for the tip on traders!

[@tboyerva]

@@ambiguousamphibian The stove puts out heat and could heat up the inside of your base. If your pawns complain about sleeping in the cold, go for it, but build vents to get rid of excess heat. If your pawns are too hot, you will need coolers.

[@debtrunner7929]

You should roof off a bit of the area outside your base and put a stockpile under it so your people dont have to run so far so often just to go grab firewood. (and stones)

[@ambiguousamphibian]

Thanks Davis! I've usually been keeping them in a room to avoid affecting their influence on mood, though I'm definitely open to more specialized stockpiles near work zones. Would you perhaps happen to have a visual? I'm trying to picture this in my head

[@Metalhammer1993]

the cow was badass. killing a raider on her own. I think I might do a full on farm playthrough. Prob a modified lost tribe or standard scenario where I got nothing but a cow and a bull? that should be fun. I mean cows produce lots of milk but that much.
