[@tennoki]

For the manual priorities, I tend to have 1s only for firefighting, patient and doctors (for those with high medical). If I suddenly needed whatever task at utmost priority I'll set that to 1, and it will still be top priority unless there's literally a fire or someone is seriously injured. That seems like a good setting to me. That's why I have 1s anyway. But yes, I agree that I see most people have too many 1s.

[@petloverspy]

I like that he says 1s are only for very urgent things … as he goes over firefighting. I know that if you have no 1s anywhere else it’ll still prioritize the firefighting, but the implication that it’s not at all urgent is very funny

Relating to the butcher table bit, I think one of my favorite things in Rimworld is to place a weak column outside of the colony and let the pawns build roofing around it. Raiders take them down and get hurt/killed by the collapse.

[@Blakrex]

Patient at #1 position is a must for my playthroughs. If you have a large battle sometimes you may not notice a small bleed on a pawn. They may go off and do some plant grooming until they pass out or die if you don't catch it.

[@fav-chuck9207]

I haven’t read through all the comments so I don’t know if someone else addressed this below or on a different video but instead of planting hay in the animal pen plant dandelions as the cows will use that as food and it is plants practice for the pawns. It will keep the animals fed during spring/summer mostly while you grow hay for winter months.

[@sirpent17]

Hey AA! Just wanted to say something a little less known, but in places closer to the poles where the amount of yearly sunlight changes drastically, it can get really hot in the summers, as the sun only sets for a few hours, or not at all! It really heats things up more than you'd think.

[@sirpent17]

Also don't know if anyone brought it up, but since you're southern hemisphere the seasons are flipped from the northern hemisphere! So Decembary is their summer.

[@DaShoopdahoop]

1:04:40 imo if there are children or ship survivors with an extremly high cronological age but low physical age, it's usually because since they have been in cryosleep for so long because the planets are so far apart from one another, the question on to how they go to the bathroom in the cryopods is still a mystery though

I wanna point out something about the manual priorities thing when he was talking about never putting 1s unless it's a something you really need them to do immediately fire fighting and patient are almost always a good idea to put at 1 so that your colonist don't say craft a tshirt while your entire building burns down around him or let themselves bleed out while out in the feild sowing crops

[@NyoomMonster]

Ambiguousamphibian: Why would you make any of your children some of these traits? Also Ambiguousamphibian: *does a run where he seeks out psychopaths so that they won't be debuffed by committing cannibalism, and also runs an organ harvesting business* I dunno, why would anyone do such a thing?

Patient & Bed rest should always be 1, while if its a doctor he also should be on a 1, then you're doctors will go to bed if their hurt and only get up from bed to tend wounds, if there is something that need prio, like cutting plants, you put a 1 on that category for every1 and since they rarely tend wounds or lay in bed to rest you're "important" stuff you've marked gets done in an instant, and you never have to worry about people not tending to each others etc, personally I also prefer Basic and Firefighting to be on a 1 also

[@buckaroobonzai2909]

I am also bad with animals. With the "which plant" part, I think the best thing to do is plant dandelions where the cows live for support nutrition, and then haygrass outside where the cows are so they have food to eat. The reason is because you can stock up on hay for the winter. Meanwhile, cows are just eating dandelions. I think, and correct me if I am wrong, you can also have cows indoors, in a cave with a small heater and just a torch or normal lamp and have daylillies grow. To me it seems like you want to have multiple reasons and food sources for your animals. The redundancy is helpful. Managing their population is very important also, because my animals always grow in numbers too quickly.

[@normanlandstruck3985]

4:20 I rarely hear you laugh. But this killed me.

[@Timmeh7o7]

19:20 ish? The most important tasks are already to the left - If you have your dedicated cook and gardener set to Priority 1 Cook, Grow, and Plant cut, there's really nothing beyond those that can supersede them in importance. If you never use Priority 1, then your Priority 2 is fulfilling exactly the same role. If you need a character to go rest, doctor, or firefight, you can set them to Priority 1, and yes, it would be done before Priority-2 tasks, but it'll also be done before just about any other Priority-1 task. I can happily keep my Miner/Construction character on Priority-1 Mine and Construct because there's little to the right of that that they could be doing. If I suddenly need a colonist to go haul or clean rather than do whatever they were meant to do, then I guess leaving Priority-1 open would be wise? Even then, I can set their normal tasks to Priority-2 temporarily, which is effectively what you have your colonists at all the time.

In my experience so far, age 7 and 10 are when kids start to become useful and start to help with the work around the base. The best chef in my newest colony was born in the first year and is already at 9 cooking at age 8. On the birth thing, it takes about 20 days in game for a pregnancy to go full-term and the birth to happen.

[@vorpal_void]

About the pilum weapon - this thing is weird in the context of RimWorld. It's basically just a javelin, but by design it's supposed to be used against hand shields, to pierce them and make them unwieldy (because of the length and weight of the pilum, and the tip geometry that makes it not easy to pull it out of the shield), practically robbing the opponent of his shield if it's pierced by a throw, even without damaging the owner if he manages to dodge the piercing. But there are no hand shields in the game, at all! If you want to know more: plural variant of said weapon is a singular word for Russian "пила" [pʲɪˈla] with accent on "a" instead of "i", and that will be some saw.

Oled tips if you see this and still looking. I've been running a LG CX since it launched for a pc only screen no burn in or any issues. Hide your task bar constantly and no desktop icons even the recycle bin just pin it to your file explorer quick menu. Have a moving background as your desktop constantly, wallpaper engine is your friend. Make sure you set up a set of slowly rotating set of wallpapers basically any static things are your enemy. Don't worry about Fullscreen games you need stuff stuck in the same location for hours upon hours, so a game session isn't an issue. If your USA bound the only warranty that covers burn in is Best Buys warranty, no other warranty will touch burn in even LG, but they are known to bend over for customers it's just not guaranteed. Other than that, I keep my browser muted colors and apps other than games/media not Fullscreen, so my moving background is poking through around the sides.

[@ambiguousamphibianvods]

Thanks for that - using mine for video editing, recording and streaming, so I may use another monitor for more of the static elements. Needed the bigger monitor since adobe premiere needs a LOT of screen real estate. Actually just got a defective one and had to replace it lol. Mine's thru Amazon tho I'll take your word for it on the next one :) Can't tell you how much I appreciate it - it's far too nice for me and giving me a lot of anxiety to use it lol

[@buckaroobonzai2909]

at around 18:40ish. I agree. I like to keep everything on just checkboxes and only move it to the numbered system when/if I need to. And even then the first thing I will do is lower priorities to a 4. If I have 1-3 colonists, I make everyone do everything, and I always have my main character do everything as a 3 always so that I know everything is always getting worked on, but I like to only do that with one colonist. I only bother with 2s when I have like 4-8 colonists. Then I only do 1s when I have visitors or slaves or I want to do a collective effort and I want it done that day, like putting everyone to a 1 to clean, cut trees, or haul chunks to build the base up or something.
