Oil Tycoon | SOLO Android Progenitor vs Rimworld #2

[@ambiguousamphibian]

Hey folks! I'm in awe of Dubwise's mods - including, but not limited to the mint menus, the rimefeller oil production, and bad hygiene. Seriously, I was missing out on a lot before this, though might not go without them again awhile. For anyone with high-fidelity sound setups, apologies for the buzzing from about 5 minutes that persists for a bit - I've been dealing with strange audio interference for the last couple weeks and I've been procrastinating to get things figured out with my cable management, though every time I move my foot underneath my desk, it causes the sound. Otherwise, hope this playthrough sparks some ideas!

[@dylangosbergianvopr7900]

I love how you talk in Sonny's perspective, it really gives a story teller vibe. The entire point of Rimworld is to tell a story, and with your format and voice, you just subconsciously lean in, like listening to a campfire story. I got into your content in the 100 colonist series, and feel like you have evolved from level 30 mob, to level 70 lord. Still room to grow, yet a large improvement none the less.

[@ambiguousamphibian]

This makes it all worth it

[@hbombdotcom]

yeah, i have to agree

[@tommeakin1732]

I love it when people lean into the "personal" aspect of Rimworld. A lot of KZbinrs seem to kind of ignore it as they're only focused on the more meta stuff, and if you're not looking for the story detail, it can get completely missed. One time one of my mvp colonists died, they buried him in the tomb, and then had a funeral; but the mvps fiancee (they were literally just going to get married) was the only person to not go to the funeral and she spent the whole funeral sitting in her room praying. The funeral ended, and she came out of her room and went into the tomb to be alone with her fiancee. I know that most of that was chance stuff, but that kind of spontaneous creepy-level story detail saturates this game and it's so easily missed if you're not looking

[@hbombdotcom]

@@tommeakin1732 thats pretty cool, even if it was probably chance. but yes a lot of rimworld youtubers just do meta, not doing much story. this is why i like watching ambiguousamphibian so much, really

[@tommeakin1732]

@@hbombdotcom If you're into the storytelling aspect you should look at Aavaks Rimworld series :D He takes it slow compared to most people, and he pays a lot of attention to the micro

[@randomdeadbody]

if you're staying with flamethrowers for Killbox 2.0, you might add a band of wooden floor around the entrance to the killbox: it stays burning for way longer, which means the flames on the ground are bigger, which means enemies catch fire easier.

[@nommerz5465]

Maybe putting flamethrowers 30 feet from your oil rigs wasn't such a great idea lol

[@ppyl-aac745]

Why not just move the walls up a bit where you had the wells originally and wall off the route to the killbox, effectively sealing your chemfuel production off from the entrance? Great series, btw. I loved the Robodaddy series from Roll's channel and this is a cool spinoff from that idea, not limited to the single colonist but expanding on the automation/android idea. Maybe you can make a Robomummy for Sonny and call her Cher? lol

[@lordwoods3111]

I love these videos, the Kenshi series are my favourite, I hope he starts another, but I understand he’s probably tired of that game. If he does play it again, I’m hoping for a Samurai playthrough, he could have a lord, and a few Samurai, plus some foot soldiers, and finally some workers, and he could have a village.

[@ambiguousamphibian]

Thanks ^.^ Tbh, the good ideas keep it fresh and it's good to rediscover it every now and then. Always grateful for the kindness and ideas!

[@Tearko1911]

You have no idea how excited I was for this episode, I've liked your other series in Rimworld but this one feels extra special somehow.

[@ambiguousamphibian]

Thanks, that means a lot! Glad you enjoy and grateful for the kindness ^.^

[@zaryojida32]

a tip for the winter, you can switch on "use battery" on the androids and make a few more of those pods because if they "sleep" there they can charge up and use no food just power

[@Alteroxx954]

man,his narrating makes it feel like a story rather than just a game,I love that

[@mr.midknight2805]

Please space out your turrets since one will blow up the one next to it and so on once one gets too damaged.

[@PANGPOWER]

I haven't finished watching the video yet but seeing you put all those turrets just in a line right next to each other makes me really anxious for the coming chain explosion.

[@PANGPOWER]

aaaand called it.

[@Sharkfurter]

Seeing Ambiguous place turrets in a row and then watch them get domino exploded over, and over, and over, and over was starting to make my bones hurt.

[@sodapopinski8064]

Your editing is on point, and just a super solid ep all around. Enjoying the different feel these mods are giving to the traditional rimworld experience.

[@adrienbroditore]

I found your stuff by accident and I'm really glad I did! You have great content dude, you've made watching someone play rimworld actually fun

[@willofthewinds3222]

Reaches the 16th: Oh no.

[@DonYagamoth]

One of my favorite types of defenses I came up with was creating a giant spiral around the entire map. In just about 3-4 loops of spirals enemies tend to starve/give up before they even reach the main entrance of the base, and then just slowly walk back outside, sometimes dying of starvation. Raiders don't attack the walls as long as a colonist is attackable via pathing (although they will randomly set wooden walls on fire while walking through, so non-flammeable walls are kind of required). Although, another problem I ended up running into is, that wildlife also ended up starving. Boomalopes in particular sometimes just randomly exploded and made holes in the walls, which is less than ideal Further, I think the AI may rocognize a large amount of walls, as I did have a more frequent amount of just drop pods dropping on top of the base, rather than raiders attacking from the outside

[@seminark]

If only Sonny knew how to make Androids the same way they made Nokias...

[@ketch10]

Minus well turn on godmode

[@nyatrue401]

I love this series! I’ve always loved the android mod ever since I first laid eyes on it! (Another mod I’ve grown to love, is the rimworld of magic mod, it essentially lets you pick a class for each colonist, be they a gladiator, a monk, a pyrokinetic, or a storm mage or anything in between! I’d love to see you try it out sometime, if you’re willing!)

[@en4135]

[@wakyadventures7578]

i like this a lot because it sounds like a story narrated everything so i can listen to it a lot easier

[@DB-cn6rw]

I'd recommend making a wall between the oil and your little flame box. Trap the flames and heat in for more devestation

[@Daniel-st7gc]

This is a good KZbinr, ambiguous needs more subs ngl

[@doomcookies]

Excited for a new RimWorld playthrough! Advice: 1) move the entrance to your killbox to the eastern wall, then you can line up your turrets in a firing line and give them more range. 2) Make exterior doors metal so they dont burn 3) Wall off the oil drills to protect them

[@NuculearFallout1]

You should produce chem fuel containers , store them in your kill box , and then use them as napalm containers 👌🏻 love the series so far please keep it going !

[@Tiabear1077]

I love your modded rimworld series it’s always fun to see people play with mods I’m not familiar with

[@marcusmcclain3251]

Whoa whoa whoa, hold up. You're building a slug turret right next to your oil production, which are both next to your battery room? Oh this gonna be gud

[@John-ei6xg]

I've watched every one of your series since torso and the hand and honestly this is probably the most entertaining yet. I'm super keen to see how it pans out, and to get back into rimworld myself with the same mods.

[@austinneece7853]

Who would have guessed that FIRE turrets right next to OIL wells would be a bad idea.

[@TheWelshGeth]

Whilst I work from home there are significant gaps to get more work whilst I finish. So I watch your videos. Very entertaining keep up the good work! :)

[@gdaws6160]

Androids tend to add a lot of wealth to the colony depending on the tier even a t1 android can add a bit of wealth for 1 or 2 raiders. Also I suggest using "Show Mod Designators" mod, it helps with knowing what stuff comes from what mod. Cheers and have a fantastic day.

[@nanoqht285]

If you wanna use quarries as your primary source of resources gained from mining, and you also intend to build up your base with stone, I suggest going for a place with Granite.

[@Earzentail]

My dude, sandbags only slow enemies down when they get on the first one, so you should build them like this: [S] [E] [S] [E] [S] (E - empty, S - sandbag) to make enemies constantly climb on and off. Same with stone/metal chunks. You could probably even put traps in the empty spaces. Other than that, good job with the colony! 👍

[@Hedhnter]

Gotta admit, placing the line of flamethrower turrets 5 feet down the hall from the oil rigs was a real chad move, shame it didn't pad out too well

[@Anders-ps5wj]

All these mods look amazing! Thank you so much for having them in the description.

[@wolfleader17]

That Megapede ran in there like the suicide Uruk at Helms Deep. With all your chemfuel, might be fun to use inordinate amounts of mortars and napalm.

Just so you know, you can transfer androids consciousness to other androids with a antenna tower, that way you dont get too many people. But you can still get higher ranked androids

[@maxstefanescu3279]

You can make android charger stations with a bit of research and a chunk of silver and stuff. That way, you don't have to straggle around looking for food. Also, you need embrasures to protect the turrets from the insects.

[@kleyrt1105]

I wonder if you got the idea for this series from my comment? Awesome to see this series, it's actually quite interesting!

[@mikeballew3207]

[@rogermarks1110]

Been watching for a while, but I'll be damned I just can't seem to nail down what kinda amphibian this guy is.

[@alexcebollero]

2 things I think would help. Double or triple thick your outside walls that will deter the enemies from mining through them. Also since you have so much fire: seal in your kill box to make it a room with doors. Once all the organic enemies are inside, close the doors and let the heat roast them.

[@iamnotjcook]

You should block in the fire killbox with a held-open door so that as they burn, you can seal them in to be cooked in an oven-esque fashion, then vent the heat so you don't burn to death as you collect their bodies

[@rocier]

God, i feel bad for Zane. Nobody deserves that fate

[@thestagesofgrief6454]

I’m surprised you aren’t getting more views for this these are really good!

[@peke9499]

This is already my favourite youtube video you have made

[@AbelMayfair]

Since you have robots, you should try making a killbox that is extremely hot. It may not stop mechs but bugs that come in will go into a heat coma. A geothermal power generator with roofs right along that killbox will ensure no bug gets far.

[@zayl777]

The android Beer Gang... Wow this game is full of surprises.

"So horrible, so beautiful!"-ambiguousamphibian 8/31/20

[@happygol-lucky5938]

Pssst. Amphibian my dude. If you use the Allow Tools mod, you can click any ore nodes you find, right click the mining option, and select 'mine all on this node' to prime the entire vein for harvesting. It also let's you simplify orders on other stuff too.

[@zergie4]

One of the things i noticed you really need to do is set different zones, such as raid, air drop, inside, and such so that you dont have the issues of your workers constantly running into the front lines during a heavy extended fight. If you don't like having to constantly set your pawns manually each time during a raid, the mod, Better Pawn Controls, allows you to set policies that saves pawns zones, foods, and schedules.

[@Guardias]

An oil well behind the flamethrower turrets...that'll end well.

[@notchs0son]

Hey dude I like ur voice it gives the swagger soul vibe without the apparent loss of brain cells

[@Blandco]

I think the decision to have flame throwers near the oil rigs was a tactical miscalculation on the part of the robots.

[@Omen_Cheetah]

The eternal feud between the bugs and the robots. If you think about it... they aren't too different from one another. Each is a sort of automated hive mind, with a hierarchy within. As with each android, each bug has a purpose within their hives. Sonny is, in a sense, the "queen bee" of his hive. However, on this Rimworld, there can be no peaceful co existence. Which can survive? The technological might of the machines, or the sheer numbers of the bugs? for there can only be one victor in this war for survival.
