RimWorld Timelapse - Rivertown

Welcome to Rivertown, the town with a twist!
It has been a while since I started this run. I took a break from the game. I planned to play it for a while longer. With 1.5 on the horizon and severeal crucial mods needing fresh saves I decided to bring this run to a close.

[@rustyshackleford1508]

If you want good looking bases, you have to deprogram yourself from the need to build "optimally." Optimization is the enemy of sovl. "Oh no, my pawns take 2.5 more seconds than necessary to haul steel to the workshop!" vs "Yeah I have the stockpiles on the opposite side of the river in that cave, it looks cool."

[@leetster6303]

the problem with that is you die

[@gapho5198]

@@leetster6303 Yeah, RW really needs a good way to encourage you to let a settlement die rather than save scumming or min maxing. There could be a really good system if enough time and though was put into it.

[@irjiiu1041]

​@@leetster6303 but that's realistic

[@petloverspy]

@@leetster6303you can have aesthetically pleasing bases that are defensible. Hell, I make my defenses aesthetically pleasing. Maybe not on 500% threat level but that’s an extreme challenge way of playing

[@thedarkone5049]

​@@irjiiu1041realistic would be to split your storage into 3 buildings across the entire base to make resources easy to acces and minimise the damage from the fires and enemy attacks

[@MCSorry]

Very inspiring! I love how you don't shy away from asymmetry and non-boxy design. Definitely need to learn from your example.

[@N1rmanYT]

Das conkret baby

[@G-Fiti]

Not using that mod, though I eventually reduced the threat scale. Wealth eventually goes through the roof with bases like these and 30-40 pawns. Psycasts Expanded Warlords are what I relied on for handling raiders. They get super OP eventually beeing able to shoot raiders from miles away with war bows lol. I had like 8 of them

[@justarandomcommenter570]

​@@G-Fiti Nice base. Ive been wanting to try more designs that feel more townlike and not just squares and boxes Tho 30-40 pawns?? Man how do you manage all of them? I already have a hard time managing 10-12 of em lol

[@G-Fiti]

@@justarandomcommenter570 LTO Colony Groups helps alot. Takes some time to get used to tho, you can group colonies into groups and not have the game display all of them at the time. Also lets you automate stuff based on the groups their in like dyed clothes and all the policy stuff. steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2345493945

[@pokebronyborn]

It hurts my brain so much to imagine the planning required for italicized rimworld buildings. I couldn't do it with a gun to my head. I need uniform symmetry.

[@G-Fiti]

Italicized.. I like that term :D

[@pokebronyborn]

@@G-Fiti Well, it's not quite fully diagonal, just _tilted_ :3

[@chainsawplayin]

You could just use the "more designator shapes" mod to draw straight lines at an angle.

[@warsawpactmapping83]

Beautifully designed

[@voxfoxclips8684]

Therapist: Diagonal buildings in Rimworld don’t exist. They can’t hurt you. Diagonal buildings in Rimworld: Seriously, tho, this is an amazing looking town you’ve made and I’m impressed with the skill it takes to make any room look like it isn’t a simply N.E.S.W room. Awesome work!

The Asymmetry is killing me, But I love the fact village becoming a town so naturally it feels as if it is historically accurate Im conflicted asf

[@Nitram7482]

I have mixed feelings about diagonal building, by one hand, it looks cool, by another hand i have the urge to straighten all the walls.

[@TheSilkfox]

Like your vids! Hope you keep making more. :)

[@tommeakin1732]

The cocked buildings gave me the feeling of looking at an optical illusion that your eyes cannot focus on lol. My brain was screaming. But, at times (helped with the zoomout, I think) it started to look right. Thoroughly unsettling. What not try again :^)

[@scavenger6268]

ive played enough Age of Empires where diagonal is the only solution XD

[@BlueBeetle1939]

Nice build i havent played in over a year now and i know by the time i set it up id be ready to quit already but this is a nice look back at my 1200 something hours adventures on the rim

[@animatedreality4526]

I could never, all the editing and moving around of buildings and little edits of moving the wall one block to the left but having to deconstruct basically the entire wall to do so. Although ill probably never make a colony as nice looking as yours with that mentality of not moving entire sections of the base around.

You missed the part where the base becomes extremely filthy snd everyone dies from the plague.

[@MadrickIce]

love asymmetrical open plan town colonies like this. which mod does the little market stalls come from? i skimmed through the modlist and couldn't find it

[@G-Fiti]

Medieval Overhaul

[@SpecialDogMan]

Diagonals go crazy

[@thehyruler2430]

this is pretty amazing, I'd have to assume you played on peaceful or something. One small note tho, I know you can only built a few blocks of from the map boarders, but you should have committed to those roads and build them outwards from the city gates.

[@G-Fiti]

I actually started with something like Strive to survive but eventually switched to custom with reduced threat scale eventually. Especially in the later stages the base had insane wealth just because it was so huge. Raids were handled by a squad of longbowmen that were warload psycasters (Vanilla Psycasts Expanded), that basically gives them increases range, firing speed and accuracy. Regarding the roads, they actually do touch the map edge! There is a mod that lets you change the building limitation to whatever you want. I also used it for my super tiny 39x39 map run! The mod is called "Change map edge limit"

[@ZettXXII]

nice and cozy, unlike my ugly metal bases

[@0lek51y]

SQUARES

[@davidklemen5264]

let's be 100% honest. all of our bases are square boxes and look like crackhouses.

[@ys177]

Once I tried to build a whole house for each pawn.. failed miserably due to a raid

[@privateprivacy5570]

Did it take a lot of determination to go against the grid or are you just built like that?

[@G-Fiti]

Did some breaks every now and then to draw some plans, it wasn't too difficult tho. Mainly needed it to make sure roads are the same width even at different angles

[@windflier1684]

Those are from the Dark Forest biome that Medieval Overhaul adds. I also use Biome transitions and settled on a tile next to a dark forst biome, which is why you only see them on the northwestern portion of the map!

An interesting idea. But its implementation let me down, to be honest. The symmetry of the buildings in this game still plays a role, gives a more aesthetic appearance.
