[@djscully1738]

I really like this idea, honestly. Taking a step back from the doom and gloom of the constant combat of the Rimworld and just making a living out in the land, it's a nice change of pace. It's not a combat focused series, it's just a place to settle down and rest for the night. It kinda reminds me of this one moment during D-Day where two American medics set up a hospital in the church and healed friend and foe alike, with their motto, and enforced rule, being 'Leave your weapons at the door.'

[@KostadinandIvan]

I never mentioned this, but I knew (more like theorized) Nenaul was gonna be the main character of the rags to riches because Rat Knight said, "Maybe we will see him again" (he said it in the gun empire season 2 series if your wondering)

[@empereurnico6048]

the finale?

[@KostadinandIvan]

@@empereurnico6048 either the final episode or the second to last episode I don't remember exactly

[@Auzeal.]

Wait what was he again in the previous series?

[@KostadinandIvan]

@@Auzeal. a slave of the gun empire

[@KostadinandIvan]

@Auzeal. for some reason I don't see my reply, so I'm not sure if you see it so I'm just gonna reply just incase He was a slave of the gun empire

[@jamesthomas8389]

I’ve got 3 suggestions for mods to add 1. Door mats mod; to give the rooms a more homelike feel and secondly lessens the need for cleaning the rooms as much by having people wipe their feet before entering a room. There are two or three door mat mods and I don’t know which ones best but if a door mat is inside a room and of good quality it increases the room quality (maybe a quality increase mod too now that I think about it, become the best carpenters or something but that’s neither here nor there) 2.Dubs Bad hygiene; gives pawns human needs like the need to use a toilet, thus turning this place into a rest stop (we’ve all been on a long drive and needed to pull over to use the restroom, which helps pull in business). Dubs bad hygiene also lets you turn the “leavings” into chemfuel which you can use to sell to customers for any vehicles they may have and finally I think it adds sinks or showers (less certain of if it does since it’s been a while) if it does you can add it to the room prices for a toilet and sink/shower combo and become a gas station. 3. There’s a collectors mod or a plushie mod that I can’t remember the name of but some of them add plushies you can make so you could sell them at the gift shop.

[@SephieyRayie]

Jor real smart for being an ambassador of a business like this because he is disguise as a hamlet worker and if any kind of marshal services soldier make there way in hamlet he will gather informarion by maybe talking to them or eavesdropping

[@Coldsoulfedrikos]

Maybe having a clinic possibly a sorta back alley mob style doc would be another service you can offer. diversifying ones portfolio is what most business people do to make more money.

Nenual has that feeling of being a divorced dad trying to pull himself together again

[@Sage_Of_Atlas]

Btw the cash register works for a restaurant as well, you can switch it over from a store and they will actually act like a restaurant with servers and such, you can even have your colony be served at it when they aren't working, its really cool, can set up a kitchen and meal storage facility and link the fridge to the store from anywhere on the map.

[@gobbo1917]

Real talk, why hasn't rimworld ever entertained the idea of an adventure mode like dwarf fortress? Being able to be a gutter rat in the big city, or a Merc fighting for a faction as a contractor, hell maybe even just getting a farming job, it could be really fun and open the game play a lot more. Plus it's kind of risky, instead of having five colonists, you only have yourself and maybe one or two companions, and if it's like dwarf fortress's adventure mode, your companions might just be NPCs you can't control besides a few commands and loadout options.

[@LucasLucas-ez7pb]

Could build a “secret room” on the battery room to stock and produce the illegal substances. People would think its just part of the battery room.

[@Sage_Of_Atlas]

There also is the hospital mod that allows you to open up a hospital with patients that other settlements will give you, you can set prices and such like with the hotel, as well as the museum mod that lets you open your own museum and find artifacts and bones and such you can show off to earn money too.

[@Araj_gaming]

Another great series released! Nice to see the RKRU continuing!

[@ZiWil-i7t]

Idea, Alcohol Empire but for drugs, I mean “Medical Substances”

[@DeghamNeutralNewsRadio]

Cheers to the new era! 🍾

[@dominicmcdaniel3136]

Real🎉🎉

[@storytellernylan9157]

I kinda like it especially cause the Hotel could become a neutral place for spies and ambassadors could come hold meetings in secret and marshals could drink or smoke or even the Rifle company could meet buyers on neutral ground.

[@cruelbanana441]

This is a very interesting idea for a series, good job coming up with it mate

[@zacktheraven9935]

Lore suggestion: During the visit of the two officers, 19:45 Plum stayed close to Nenaul while the other officer Toni was kinda sniffing around. As she seems to be half thrumbonian i can see that getting her rank must have taken a lot of effort and maybe she owes something to Plum. Or maybe theyre just good friend. However I can´t really imagine that they wouldnt notice your pretty little garden and just let it go. If, of course, they werent somehow involved in black market and didnt come to make friends. And as they did leave you a pretty expensive gift, it would only make sense. Maybe in the future they will reach you with some kind of business proposal.

[@generationm2059]

Maybe you could strive to establish a major corporation in the planet, selling (non-weapon related) goods and services while rival corporations try to discredit or worse, wipe you out.

[@unholyknight786]

Lore drop for Lev, if you wouldn't mind - he was really good veterinarian, and loved animals with his whole soul, but at some point of his career, he couldn't save one animal, something small and cute like cat, dog or even racoon - like Ace Ventura, yeah - and had a complete meltdown which resulted him in roaming the wilds, plagued by self-destructing guilt, losing his humanity and sanity bit by bit. First he lost his mind, then he lost his clothes, became closer to the animals he held so dear. Because of his skill of veterinarian, which was engrained in his very being, he evaded or made peace with more dangerous animal in the wild, and he foraged what food he could find. And in that sorry state you found him, a blank slate with engrained skills, muscle memory and anguish hidden deeply in his souls. But maybe now, working for Nenaul, he could find some solace and maybe even redemption. PS Thanks for your hard work from you fellow knight (pun intended), rat-knight. I just love to binge-watch your rim-series.

[@gamesstorm3945]

A very good series Try to control entire cities and you will be a trilionire

[@GomolemoPooe-u1g]

This feels like a episode of breaking bad or Narcos mybe this is gonna be a drug empire 🤔 🙃

[@yuyaplays9311]

I think the condiments idea could be beneficial. If they find you growing smokeleaf you can just point out that your use it to make butter. And any other drugs that you decide to grow in the future. I wish there was an adventurers guild mod where you can give out quests to travelers. I think something like that would be perfect for your little hamlet as well. Like you get a quest from a faction or something but instead of doing it yourself you can put it up on a quest board and random npc's would accept the quest. The after they leave the map after a set time they would return having finished the quest or failing it. Like you wouldn't be doing quests for the guild you would BE the guild. But sadly nothing like that exists atm.

[@aziscakep640]

So this Story is About a Homeless Guy Run Hotels Business and Drug stuff To Become the Richest business man Around the Rimworld Mr RatKnight ???

[@flamicaus]

I'm happy we have this new series, as I liked this world you have been working on. A speak ez (I can't spell) is a awesome idea, and I think another idea that would be cool is if the idea that the independent Hamlets inc is kinda sold as a "oasis from the chaos" of the rest of deghom, were people from all factions and backgrounds can come together to talk and share stories but it would also be a place the oak foundation and similar intelligence organizations often come to the place to definitely not try and pass info to other agents or spies on others. It could kinda be a friendly competitor to the United traders in a attempt to unify the world but instead by trade, by a nice home/bar/meeting place for all

[@CatLover-lk9gz]

I love the idea of a speakeasy, although I don't know if alchohol is still banned in dehgom

[@anrisiel7930]

Lore Idea!! the ruins left in the area long ago used to be a known Marshal service meeting spot and staging area from before the peace treaty was signed, and Jor was sent to investigate the recent movement in the area.

[@jameskarg3240]

Dubs bad hygine? Adds a healthy complexity of hygine and an (optional) water need for pawns and animals. Toilets, showers, baths, Air Conditioning. Give it a chance

[@NatsumiMichi]

Love how playing this game constantly fluctuates between War Crimes and Bed & Breakfast.

[@acep3452]

I love your series. Keep making them.

[@owenhammond1880]

He just makes a Rimworld version of Holiday Inn Express, but they branch off into other enterprises.

[@majorsilly8966]

I like this narrative/plot “rag to riches” I can tell this is going to be a good series with hopefully multiple seasons to it ❤

[@Hetzfs]

I love doing corpo runs and the hospitality and store front mods are great, love to see a play base on that

[@sasschan6271]

You should absolutely have some sort of gift shop or attire store to give the Hamlets a more resort feel. As others suggested with Dub’s bad Hygiene, I believe there is an add on that adds hot springs. In case you’re interested in expanding the Hamlet’s attractions.

[@Official_pawn]

This is the best day of my life. Thank you ratknight

[@dr.josiah]

Tbh the speakeasy idea is actually pretty cool, a hidden place for the people of the RMS to indulge themselves without the Service watching over their shoulder like a hawk. Also I would suggest maybe making some double bed rooms for lower paying tenants since many couples would want to visit but aren't exactly "high rollers"

[@AndrewPatterson-xq4qk]

You could call it hamlet co. Where you establish trade and economic hotspots across the map, catering to any empire you have to

[@PantherXG]

Love the city setting for the start

[@Rat_Knight]

We should see plenty more in the future! I have the visit settlements and Rimcities mods for this series

[@khaledx735]

He looks like he would get along with the gun empire, they are a very diverse company with a lot of thrumbonians who are in the empire by orthodox means (:

[@Drag0nk1ngmark]

Alright we got a new series! And I imagine Nenaul decides to turn this place as a sort of neutral zone where all the factions can come to just relax and take a load off. Maybe even expand to have places like that all over the place and become a motel business chain.

[@TheGrimjackfromCPT]

Would make sense if your tavern has a small herbal shop that sells tea, ointments and other stuff made from homegrown drugs for pharmaceutical use since most of the people visiting would be travelers, soldiers etc and they would likely suffer from pain or mental issues so providing them with some relief after a long hard journey makes allot of sense

[@lukemendel8197]

Build some stens to sell in the vending machines. Stens are cheap and easy to make.

[@chubbywonder3034]

I got a feeding this is going to end up like the logging empire. With burch😅

[@chaoscrafterps2365]

I would really love to see a big hotel area, with some good quality cooking. It could also act as a neutral ground in between the conflict of the marshals and the rebels.

[@TheItachikiller]

speakeasy! you can always use that as the backdrop for the next upgrade, such as assassin hotel a la john wick

[@sparrow9663]

You should keep 1 piece of silver in nenauls room and call it his first penny. Cant wait for more hotel empire!

[@1ZeroGamingX]

Yayyyyy rat knight has blessed us with another series!!

[@carlzerris6566]

I think a private room preferably sound proof might be a good idea. Afterall if a certain gun empire wants to hold talks with people they dont necessarily want to be asscociated with, they need a neutral place to do so.

[@SirJesusFreak]

I'd recommend a small speak-easy with a focus on the smokeleaf butter, hiding the less than legal product behind totally legitimate product as a premium service. But you should be careful, this could turn the Hamlets into a drug empire, which will probably mean a lot of combat in the future.

[@Weber408]

I always enjoy your Rimworld stories. I try to strive for that. But I get lost in mods

[@radiant_peace8457]

this Inspired to me IMMEDIETLEY try a playthrough with the hospitality mod.

[@kamecade9901]

I like the idea of some less than legal goods and services but without going to deep in the paint that could lead to

[@Aisha-pe6ue]

Nenaul's Motel is finna be a Oak Foundation front for sure.

[@thecoexistingrepublican6]

Theres a mod which ads new roofs to the game. you can have a transparent roof which will give plants sunlight and also means you can grow crops through winter, but lets say you are growing some hemp, the marshals wouldnt like that, but if you growing indoors they are less likely to uncover your illegal substances, dont call the DEA on me (raise the roof is the mod.

[@jonathonh6021]

Can’t wait to see more of this series. Keep up the great work. I also want to ask. so how strong are the rebels and Marshall service now seeing how there’s so many new nations

[@antal-banyikkristof755]

And since the series is in the same one as the Gun Empire, You should make the Gun Empire Base a deserted structure, which can be found later on, with the loot left in it, except the silver of course. Run-down, old, rusty, maybe a body here and there. It would be great to see something like that

[@Aisha-pe6ue]

The S&R Rifle Company's HQ is still operational (Even after the rebel nuke) and so are the S&R Rifle Company itself, It just merged with the United Trader faction which kinda acts like the UN and the S&R Mercs are just the peacekeepers/security guards.

[@Aisha-pe6ue]

However it might be interesting to see other locations from the RKRU series, the only abandoned RKRU Empire base was the Mining Empire, which is deep in Marshall territory, which in my opinion the only ones who could visit there was the Gun Empire (S&R Rifle Company).

[@claysmith3141]

It would be interesting to go from this into like a smoke leaf foods, but then go darker with a nightclub that sells alcohol made from another empire of sorts, dark part being they do yayo in the back rooms of the night club. Or you know keep it humble

[@ThatOneGuy0311]

Back to Degum and the RKRU! That's what I'm talking about!

[@SRMC23]

baby wake up, a new RKRU miniseries!

[@Kajnake]

bro actually got all the business mods

[@BrenTenkage]

I feel like he should try looking into Cheese production, a good "whey" to make some money with that dairy gold. Plus get exotic cheeses that no one has had and you got a good way to be a unique businessman. Plus ve mechanoids have factories to make cheese production faster n easier if ya want. (the cheese production is ve cooking)

[@jaroslavunatinszki7223]

you could make the motel a cheap last resort for travelers or criminals

Awh man, I'm early. Now I gotta wait for future episodes.

[@De_Damond]

Let's gooooo another series on the world!

[@semajniomet981]

`21:45 You're saying... another Tale from Dehgon? (Irrelevant, but is this version 1.5 of Rimworld?) My theory about Lev is that he got driven out of his home by (a mech cluster / the VOID / the Empire), fled, and eventually went mad due to lack of humanoid contact for several months on end.

[@mathewgribben6231]

Really like this would like to see a second episode

[@pandalove0078]

Should do a herb garden and have a apothecary shop to go with the inn and restaurant

[@BrenTenkage]

Now if you don't want to do cheese making and want to do more drug making. Try the Smoke leaf industries mod, which lets you turn smokeleaf into more stuff like harder drugs or even smokeleaf stuff like medicine, lotions, food products, and even building material. Go all in on smokeleaf and I feel so long as you don't publicly sell drugs, the marshels might look the otherway if you are publicly providing say hemp powers, medicines and so on.

Good evening/morning. Was having a think after this new series and after that great podcast on tales of the rim. What about a series about prelude to this expanded universe. The idea I was floating was a space empire. In which a colony ship crashed or landed on this rimworld under the idea that no other intellectual life forms lived here.
