Also it's good to have this kind of defence as shown below: T - Spike trap W - Wall S - Sandbag B - Brawler O - Shooter F - Firefoam popper F BO OO OB TSWWSWWSWWST (you pervert, i know what you're thinking of). Anyway, It is very useful to have brawlers or at least 2 good melee combat pawns with shield belts. When enemies are coming closer they usualy avoid sandbags and flank the wall for melee combat. That's why you use brawlers on the edge to stop them. Also the firefoam popper is extremelly useful to prevent you catching fire when you fight against Mechanoids with Inferno cannon for example, place it, trigger it and stay safe. If your pawn gets direct hit from an Inferno cannon, it will still catch fire but will not spread further, Just make sure to have heat protection, use Devilstrand. BTW, the Boomalope transport pod was interesting, I didn't thought about that.

[@pavelperina7629]

1. Non sapper raids can be dealt with with sufficient stone/steel traps (depending on your resources). 1 trap per 3 people in the last raid is enough to usually deal with the next raid without your colonists getting involved. Best setup is in a 1 square wide hallway with no doors blocking access to the inside of the base, but doors in the walls of that corridor every 4th tile so your colonists can reset the traps without walking over traps. Look at your keyboard, traps are on a, d , g, j, L, '. you'd need a door at x, n, ? to be able to reset them with qwerty...zcvbm,. being walls. The non sappers will enter this hallway and if it's long enough, enoguh of them will die to traps to rout the raid without your colony getting involved. Other than traps, the enemy should have a no door way to enter your base. 2. Sappers can be dealt with with a spaced wall and enough turrets inside the wall, so long as no turret AOE covers your trap corridor. Sappers will no enter the AOE of a turret if they can avoid it, so they won't sap your walls if there's a non turret area they can enter. The turrets do not need to be powered, them existing is enough. 3. Sieges can be dealt with with a sniper rifle or setting a boomalopes allowed area to be inside their setup zone. Once they hostile, they stop the siege, and default to 1 (or 2 if they have sappers) above. Setting an animal area in their area is a much easier and more reliable way to force animals into fighting than to train them for release and releasing them since buggy AI.... 4. Enemy drop pods in your base is the only threat you'll have mostly because your colonists are crappy at fighting if you use 1-3 above and you will wipe when this happens, so it's best not to be this much of a cheeze monkey.

[@camo_kamikaze1598]

drop pod raids are chaotic, but thats where great micro comes in handy

[@skavies2351]

@@camo_kamikaze1598 I think you missed the point I was trying to make. If you do steps 1-3, then your toons and you will be very ill equipped to deal with the drop pod raids. Your toons will have exactly what they started with combat wise, and your own microing skills might be rusty since the only microing you had to do was to get people inside and wait. Maybe move an animal area to the siege spot to force them out of siege mode... Drop pod raids are a hard counter to the cheese defences you can set up to deal with all the other events which of course means no combat experience for you or your toons, so the wipe is so much more likely to happen.

[@planetfall5056]

a thing to note about doubling up stone doors. You should always put a gap between them. If they are back to back, a pawn has to stand inside the first door while they open the second. This leaves them open to attack. I've had pawns get downed just as the finished opening the second door so the raider can just waltz on in. If you leave a gap between the doors, the pawn can open the first one, step forward then open the second while the first closes. This halves the time the colonist is exposed while opening the door. If you are really rich, my favorite door tactic is two stone doors then a third door of steel on the outside. That way, the pawns can use the quick but frail steel door to get to safety fast then the slow and sturdy stone doors keep the raiders out once the expendable steel door breaks. It doesn't matter that steel can be broken more easily. Its only purpose is to delay the raiders long enough for your pawn to get though the stone door. Another thing. Always block off the two tiles diagonally next to your doors. Either inset your doors into the wall or have the wall jut out bit next to the door. This stops multiple raiders from being able to bash your door down at once.

[@kairunelastreeper]

About defense: The most common practice I use is a hallway. Place traps on every other block in the hallway and place doors every 5 blocks, between the traps so you can bypass the traps safely and rearm them as needed. This also keeps your base open, forcing enemies to funnel into the opening. Sappers however to defeat this defense and will need to be targeted or counter built. After sappers have raided you, build defences on the breached wall. This way in future sapper raids if they break through they are met with a backup kill box. And the non-sappers will break from the group to die in your kill hall. Lastly is that the kill hall should end in a defendable killzone so that when larger groups zerg through the traps their weakened forces are met with aggressive fire from your colonists.

[@WeirdOne19142]

Sappers are the easiest thing to beat. You can just put turrets behind your walls and then don't power them... The sappers will treat unpowered turrets the same way as any other turret. This will cause them to path around to your kill box. Pretty easy. It costs some steel and a few components. Not that hard. Otherwise, yes. Your tunnel method is the best, and has no real counter.

[@WeirdOne19142]

Your kill tunnel method is the best by far. You just take out the traps and put in sand bags, then you can make a cook room and give all the raiders heat stroke. This incapacitates them instead of killing them. They can then be captured and recruited, and there are no permanent side effects once they recover, so yes... The tunnel method is the best by far.

[@WeirdOne19142]

200 man raids become a blessing at that point because you can literally choose only perfect pawns to join you. You incapacitate so many of them, then just throw in a molitov when you want the rest to go away.

For my outer walls, I always use three layers. This gives me more time to prepare whenever sappers arrive. One time, sappers only tunneled up until the second layer and then gave up. They then proceeded to my maze and, eventually, killbox. No colonists were injured during the raid. There was one that got injured with a bruise because she was chasing down the last remaining raiders attempting to flee.

[@chrisv9866]

Your bunker design can be heavily improved. Attackers get a debuff to hit when your colonists are in darkness, and a second sandbag they "lean over" also improves their chances of not getting hit. A bunker with the following layout gives Mechanoid Lancers a 2% chance of hitting, at least in my game W = wall, S = sandbag, C = colonist, D = door, with a roof over it and no lightsource, your colonists get maximum protection from projectiles WWW WC D S S W WC D S S W WC D WWW

@@WeirdOne19142 Thanks I appreciate it. Hope you're doing well also.

[@Nognamogo]

Ha you didn't mention the best defense. The door trick with three melee units lined up on your side of an open door(or gap). Only one enemy can enter melee range at a time but all of your melee units can hit them. You also put a wall just behind the enemy side of the opening so they can't shoot inside without walking right up to the gap forcing them to approach. Your gunners behind the melee trio get close range nonsense (Shotguns/SMGs). You can also micro manage a grenadier to help diminish larger waves. This trick works well into the end game if you keep upgrading equipment. A melee pawn with nimble and tough is ideal for the center role. I usually reroll a pawn until I get one of these to begin with.

[@ahmataevo]

This is pretty much a must for mountain base infestations. I've seen many videos where people are using an open layout, and it has its advantages for speed + temperature control but I don't do it. For bedrooms and non-critical areas it helps to use strongest non-flammable walls and doors possible (even taken out this will weaken the insects a lot making wasting them easier). Wood furniture, wood or carpet floor if you wish, nothing too expensive. Keep an incendiary IED in the room. Bugs spawn, they burn to death. It's a waste of kibble meat and insect jelly but late-game infestations are too deadly otherwise. This is not a good strategy for example in the hyperweave or drugs stockpile rooms so using the door with 3 of the best armed and armored melee + heavy shooters behind, while flanking the bugs with pawns from the other side can wreck otherwise brutal raids.

[@xavierzlotorowiez316]

providing a bunch of killbox designs would be great, maybe start with bunker-type ones that require more colonists and less turrets so its not as expensive then move it up to lines of turrets or whatnot. i saw one design where there would be an opening near the entrance so colonists could sit there and throw grenades or emp nades at the entrance

[@RickFoxChicken]

This is so good! Really good strategy for war baby.

[@ProWhitaker]

Thanks for the video

[@PascalRibaux]

I literally leave a one square wide path funnel open to my base filled with traps. Raider AI just sends em all through to die in there. I only put one guy on watch during raids, just so he can clean the mess right away and secure the loot. 😁 Works early and mid game with ease. I mix up the traps so i occasionally get prisoners to collect. Make sure to put a door in between every pair of traps, so your colonists can rebuild them without having to go over the own traps to do so.

[@rivelemerald44]

For the outer walls to counter sappers where I dont have my funnel, I keep 1 space inbetween each layer of wall. So it would be Outer traps, Wall, traps, wall, traps, wall, and then inner traps. Since you cant place traps right next to eachother, I leave a space of 1 inbetween them, and then place the next layer to cover the empty space. Having 4 layers of traps means about 2 traps per potential sapper tunnel, which typically kills any sapper before they breach. I also prefer the steel traps as they are cheap, very quick to build, and do alot of damage.

[@ghostiulian1]

I usually go for a bunker as soon as possible, which is of the sandbag-wall-sandbag variety, usually with some way to funnel them in front of them. I should get me some mortars. Ships have been a nuisance and those mechanoids would be shredded by my killbox if they go out

[@OneMoreDesu]

Build a long hallway with an open door at the end and a short hallway with a closed door as the entrance to your base. Fill the long hallway with spike traps. Your pawns will use the shortest route while raiders will always go straight for the open door through the long hallway. This will suit the vast majority of early game nuisances without having to defend.

[@iregehr424]

[@piotrstokowski4627]

[@oleskool4413]

The surroundings of my bases are spike trap filled mazes, most raids end without a single shot fired. As a bonus it gives me a steady supply of fresh animal meat, the downside is you pretty much need a pawn whose full time job is to reset traps.

[@SaltyMaud]

2:30 Long trap filled corridors into the killbox are hecking slow to rearm with stone traps and wood literally grows on trees unlike stone.

[@BZerk222]

Watched a couple of your vids, good stuff. I was just wondering why you removed the roof above your turrets? darkness provides a defensive bonus, my early game strat usually involves walls with sandbag gaps like you showed, but add a roof overhanging and it helps more than you might think. Still good stuff

[@camo_kamikaze1598]

BZerk222 keeping the roof also helps prevent the need to replace the barrel so often

[@coops3600]

Darkness hasn't had any effect on shooting accuracy for a long damn time now, way before this comment was made.

[@kairunelastreeper]

About kill boxes, I have a method to mine due to an old colony that over used one of the ruins in their camp. So, build a rectangular structure at least 5 blocks wide internally. Make the opening on one of the short sides in the center. Now make the opposite end a bit wider by 1-2 blocks and have enough room for 1-3 pillars in the room. What this does is give you an odd shaped building where you can load in all your colonists and have them kill off any aggressors who enter in through the open front. This is usually a small structure within you colony so sappers will usually take the front door as they have already breached and the structure itself if not obscured from entry. The better part is that it is easy to upgrade and add on to as your colony grows. I usually have 1-3 turrets inside to fire alongside my colonists and due to the tight choke point the turrets are rarely damaged. Now the wide entrance to this room, the 2 open spaces beside the door are for melee fighters. This has them draw agro from faster units, protecting your shooters from interruption. It also placed the fighters close enough to deal with any straggling shooters from using the walls adjacent to the entrance as cover. This simple funnel is very effective and great for dealing with large numbers and tanky opponents.

[@kairunelastreeper]

About the melee stopping cover at entrance. You can make the entrance between 2 diagonal walls. This may allow melee fighters to attack between the walls without exposing themselves, if that still works. ■■ ■■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■

[@themechanicalentry8353]

I have 20 colonists in a pretty rich colony and I've yet to lose anybody, on the second hardest difficulty, cassandra. I haven't built any turret, mortar, trap, or killbox, and all of my weapons are pretty mediocre (some even still use great bows and autopistols). All I do is make sure I funnel only one enemy at a time in a L shaped corridor with a stone chunk by the corner, and I keep 10 animals as tank right in front of 6-10 colonists. Animals are also great to stop prison breaks, since they rarely kill. And, actually, they survive almost always even against mechanoids. Just make a single tile allowed area for the animals are you're all dandy, you don't even need to train them. Be careful, though, it can be a bit finicky at times. And mating/sleeping during raids happen frequently.

Raiders and their tech isn't determined by the amount of colonists you have, it is determined by your colony's "wealth". It's kind of a complex mechanic (lots of numbers, you can check on wiki), but basically the better your colony's living conditions are, the worse the raids are gonna get.

Bit late to the party, but one of the most hilariously stupid but effective ways to kill raiders is single tile farms, covered on 3 sides by a stone wall, and an ied on the only open side. Raiders will run up to burn the single rice plant and set off off the ied. Its actually more cost efficient than a spike trap, since those cost 150 stone/450 work units, and this only costs 50 steel and 30 chemfuel.

You have any plans to release an update for this since the new expansion released?

[@juniorthejust]

Ok going to release a review about the new dlc

[@bananamodz2847]

Is Rimworld a multiplayer game? Or is it just a single-player game?

[@juniorthejust]

it is singleplayer but there are workshop mods for multiplayer

[@garrettbeauch2577]

do a more advanced one!!

[@croozerdog]

Thanks for not promoting killboxes

[@sci_pain3409]

defense? oh yeah *makes trap tunnel*

[@ballsin3d205]

i have the cheesiest colony, mountain base so heaps of stone so.... 6 thick walls with a LOT of mortars

[@thijsdeboer389]

make a couple of chinese killboxes, about 3/4 should do the trick Just one is enough if you have a mountain base

[@FredSanford2003]

Use steel traps versus wood/stoneones, they do more damage (at least in 1.0 they did)

[@TheLoyalOfficer]

You need to talk more about the late game.

Install turrets all throughout your base

I tend to just do the balls out blitz. There's a raid lads! Grab your guns, everyone but Jerry! Jerry! Smash. *the three raiders see 10 frothing berserkers charge at them, with one absolute unit of a madlad charging into mellee rainge with a FUCKING CHAINSAW*

[@ivancybran]

i like to pretend i'm a damn good tactician, but i did not know you could use transport pods in map, let alone think of sending boomalopes! that is mint.

[@ananteshesha5788]

Tame boomalopes and boomrats for fuel and defense
