The Absolute Beginners guide to Rimworld 1.0- part 4 (final)

[@kemaso_]

I absolutely love the heck out of this series. I would love to see more Rimworld from you. You're articulate, explain things well and explain your thought process. I personally wouldn't mind watching you LP this. Subbed, and will link to these anytime a friend gets into Rimworld.

[@BugPowderDust]

Thanks Nimbus, for your kind words. I have stayed away from LP of Rimworld after I did 3 series of it (still available if you want to view them). I have been considering pulling my finger out and making more videos on a regular basis. Maybe a RW LP will be on that list :) Boreal, Randy Random, on a hard difficulty.

This giude is the best one out there by a mile, i have watched a few and they dont go into as much detail,its more of a "what they would do" instead of a simple but detailed explanation of everything you need to know in your first 2 hours of setting up a colony. Your a legend mate, thanks a lot!

I absolutely love these guides but I wish there was more of it like more rooms you did ect ect animal pens and stuff like that not sure if it's for beginners but it'd be a good guide to have in the beginners series

[@BugPowderDust]

Thanks for the feedback- in mny defence, the animal pens weren't around, it wasn't that long ago they were introduced, but point taken :)

[@IAmTheInternets]

This guide was massively helpful in getting started! Only other thing I would have liked was a guide to caravans/venturing out beyond your starting area.

[@BugPowderDust]

Thanks :) That's a fair comment re. Caravans but this was really just aimed at getting people a foothold when they start out.

We need intermediate guide now! These tutorials are godlike. Thank you!

@@BugPowderDust I don't know how can I love react your comment but let's say I've done it :D

[@dariusace7965]

As a first time player, this was an amazing guide. I know you don't want to turn it into a lets play, but I feel like a intermediate guide would be good, even if it was one or two videos, just covering if you can upgrade walls, breeding and I think someone mentioned venturing out. As im still a beginner no doubt people know of some more!

[@BugPowderDust]

Thanks Darius. It's not so much I don't want to turn it into a Let's Play, it's just a spare time issue. A Let's Play means regular videos, and that sort of schedule I can't meet currently :) I will definitely do something, but not for a while...

[@brentschmgbert3578]

I didnt think Id watch all of your guide videos before even buying the game. Thanks for explaining so well! I feel like I can start my first game now.

I watched these series only because I couldn't understand what the streamer was doing, and I enjoyed it alot thanks to your narration and gameplay. Subbed and now on to the actual Let's Play playlist of yours

Thanks and glad you found them useful :) I have done a newer ten part tutorial series that goes into a little more depth and stays with the base until things are more established: kzbin.info/aero/PLjtNsCg0XFV3CkPSN9_lZ2G41DUZVeQy0

[@boxoffrogs9712]

I'd quite forgotten how to play (it's been years I think) and went looking for help and found your Guide. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Especially pleased about you opening the ancient danger as I do remember doing that when I did play years ago. You are quite right, it was very depressing and something that I would not have done if, back then, I'd watched you first. I've subbed and think I might hang off playing for a while to watch some of your Beach play. Thanks for a great Guide.

[@BugPowderDust]

Thanks for the feedback. Really glad you found it useful, and have fun watching The Beach, it was a great run You may find this extended tutorial useful too, it's more up to date and includes Royalty: kzbin.info/aero/PLjtNsCg0XFV3CkPSN9_lZ2G41DUZVeQy0

[@wombatpandaa9774]

I have to say man, this was fantastic. I know some of it is probably outdated now, but it still helped me go from a bumbling moron with all my colonists on permanent minor breakdowns to a semi-competent minion handler. I'm definitely going to reroll on a new seed because medium difficulty Phoebe is too much for me right now, but I have seen a marked improvement on my performance over the last few hours of play after watching your videos, so good on you and thanks a bunch!

[@BugPowderDust]

You're welcome! Although some of the finer points may be outdated, it's largely still accurate. I am working on an intermediate guide, just taking a while. Good luck with your new colony!

Hi Just wanted to say thank you for this easy to follow video, I wanted a beginners guide to go through the basics really but not into to much depth so I can still trial and error myself. Got this game a few days ago and everything went south quickly so after watching these 4 videos I can at least make a good first start, (i would never have guessed about a fridge!) been a great set of videos and great to follow... even now a few years after they were made.

[@sherb1750]

Excellent guide! I've just started Rimworld this week and I've already got about 12 hours in it. One thing I have learned is that animals are filthy. I've read that they can track dirt into your base. As a colony with a lot of self-tamed critters, I've learned it's effective to build them their own place or at least restrict them to outdoors. It keeps the living quarters clean.

[@BugPowderDust]

Ive been playing rimworld since before it even became available on steam - ive not seen a comprehensive guide like this. Ive self taught on a lot of the ideas touched on here, but it's nice to see someone else's take both to hone and to reaffirm my own strategies. Have a sub, mate.

Good series, helped a lot. I still have problems with assigning some tasks such as harvesting large areas, getting wounded person from another map square (especially since guinea pig bite is deadly if there is no one to take care of wounded person), it does not cover everything like dealing with animals (tame 4 horses, they will eat all your supplies, what if bonded animal dies, ...) and for me problems are multiple mood debuffs (refused 3x, pain from bites, small hospital, transhuman, ... or night owl at daytime+insulted+...) which can be combined with global events to make it even worse. Then I end with doctor incapable of working and if backup doctor gets biten by rat ... game over. And it's 2nd easiest difficulty. Hopefully two persons which were problematic fell in love.

[@lucasjohansson3846]

Thank you for the series it helped me alot!

[@raifthemad]

Didn't think of the double insulation bit, but I always use an airlock on every door to freezer so the cold air doesn't just get out and hot air get in, a corridor with 3-4 tiles between 2 doors, makes the path take a little longer at first but with autodoors it's not noticeable and your freezer stays nice and cool. Ramping up the con doesn't do much if you have a decent amount of traffic through those doors. As you saw you got to negative temp only at night when no one was walking in-out.

[@BugPowderDust]

Good points, thanks. I tend to optimise a little later in the game- this is really just to show basics

[@raifthemad]

@@BugPowderDust And you do it well. It's just that I find this fact to be pretty essential, that if door gets opened air temps tend to equalize on either side, and the game doesn't tell you that, so how is a beginner supposed to learn of it. Some might guess as much but most probably would just try to put more layers of walls around it and crank up the con. And this fact becomes essential if you happen to get solar flare, so there's nothing cooling the freezer and a heat wave or just a hot summer. And thanx to having to think about it I just came up with another idea for my next colony, having two freezers, one for ingredients, or at least meat and another one for meals. Meals don't spoil that fast and everyone travels to them so that adds a lot of traffic to my usual one freezer that could be mitigated with a second smaller one just for meals. If power goes out then it will get hot a lot faster, but meals don't spoil during that time, while the other one only gets used to put ingredients in and by the cooks. Dunno if it's worth it, just a thought I had while thinking about this stuff, after answering your post.

[@BugPowderDust]

@@raifthemad Fair one. I actually leave a meal stockpile near their eating table to cut down on travel time. By the time it would go off, it's been eaten already.

[@raifthemad]

@@BugPowderDust How familiar are you with the mechanic of people choosing what to eat. Since I'm not sure if they go for the ones that are closest to expiration and I think I've seen some go bad while people eat the fresher stuff so I just refrigerate all of it. I always have my freezer close to my dining area for that purpose.

[@friedec3622]

Tips: Make two freezer. One (big)is to storing meat, corpse, or vegetable harvest. And the other (small) to storing meal. Cook your meal until the small fridge is full of it and turn off the kitchen since it need many electricity. Only turn it on if you want to make another meal.

Just be careful with this, you are adding micro management where it isn't necessary

I think I am already in love with this game. Its very deep and that party thing... Ohh damn. 🤩👌🏻 This is just awesome. Feel like after Terraria a 2D game which is my favourite would be Rimworld.

[@BugPowderDust]

Glad you like the game :)

[@Thekhajjah]

Far better than tutorial. Thanks

[@BugPowderDust]

Thank you :)

If you use Recruit, you will first reduce resistance to zero and then immediately begin recruiting attempts. The use for the Reduce Resistance option, I think is that once you reach zero, the prisoner will no longer try to escape, which is useful if you want to keep them locked up so you can sell them to a slave trader, or use them to harvest organs.

[@BugPowderDust]

Thanks for clarifying, that was my very loose understanding of it!

[@felixknowloveyoudlovetokno2324]

great series, maybe sum1 already addressed it but, since fine meals require 5 meat and 5 rice or veggies, and a simple meal requires 10 of either i would suggest always making fine meals for the buff if one has both meat n veggies :)

[@BugPowderDust]

That is quite the revelation if it's right. I assumed it took more to make Fine...and the wiki isn't really confirming it. Thankyou very much for pointing it out

[@felixknowloveyoudlovetokno2324]

@@BugPowderDust I just realized, while it is the case, one also requires a cook with at least skill 6 in cooking.

Big THX 4 that great beginners guide. bench watched & liked all 4 of them :) I always liked to watch Rimworld but thought it was a bit intimidating with all its micro mangegment. Now I think I'll just buy it and see where it takes me. My only questions.... Are trees a unlimited resource and do they grow back by themselve?

[@BugPowderDust]

You're welcome :) Definitely buy it, there isn't massive amounts of micro'ing, as a lot is automated by the work priorities. Trees are finite, initially, but they do grow back. You want to move away from wood mid to late game, eg. replace your base walls with stone ASAP as wood burns like crazy if you get fires- and you will. You can research tree growing and grow your own, which can be worth it

[@Tommy-dh9ni]

@@BugPowderDust thx again BIG TIME

[@GuntheritoARG]

Why do you install beds in the opposite way? I mean is it just because you like it that way or are there some advantages for doing that?

[@BugPowderDust]

It is one square closer to the door, and there was another reason for doing so but I can't remember...! They can get to and from their beds, and receive aid, quicker.

Tips: If you have many steel, don't built passive cooler. Make AC to the corridor and use vents. Passive cooler is cheaper, but not fuel efficient (and man power to chop wood) for long run. 1 wood Generator can fed 1AC for 75 wood in 2.5days and excess 800watt. 1 passive cooler need 50wood for 5 days, but if you need more then it will be 100 wood per 5 days. It still fuel effective for AC since you can use excess electricity for another device, and possibly free because you use solar panel/wind turbine. Yeah but its expensive on steel for vents.

[@BugPowderDust]

Thanks Bernard! Also, passive coolers won't freeze food.

[@Kingslayer474]

Any suggestions on how find steel? My base is about as advanced as this one at the end of the video. I’m having a huge issue with a steel shortage and not sure what to do. Also I purchased 3 muffalos from a trade with villages. How do I feed them? I have a ton of corn, rice, and meat in my storage but not sure how I feed them. Do they eat themselves from the food I have? Also what do they eat?

[@BugPowderDust]

re. steel, do you know how to mine compacted steel from the map? It is then useable metal. The muffalo just graze the grass around your base, make sure you haven't restricted them to the base area. In the winter, they will need feeding, you can grow haygrass and feed them that? What biome are you on?

[@Kingslayer474]

BugPowderDust Hello BPD. Thank you so much for the amazing response. I’m in a Tropical Rainforest Biome. Also I did know you can mine it but I can’t see to find any steel. I was watching one of your great videos and you said it mine in a mountain rock and inside you can find steel. So I’ll give that a go. Also the Muffalo were limited to my base so thank you so much because they were starving and I had no idea what was wrong. Also how do I get and store Haygrass? I’m in fall so winter is approaching. I barely have any food so looks like I am in a lot of trouble.

[@Kingslayer474]

I did some research I found out how to grow Haygrass

[@BugPowderDust]

I would recommend you start on Temperate Forest biome, and use Phoebe Chillax as the story teller. Find a Temp Forest hex with small or large hills too. With that set up, you have plenty of wood to get you started, and stone/steel to mine out. Also, the biome itself is kinder, better animals and easier to grow. Tropical rainforest is bitch to be quite honest!

[@Kingslayer474]

BugPowderDust I will definitely do that next time. I actually barely survived the winter and actually doing quite well currently. Everyone nearly froze to death and starved but luckily I made it okay. Now I have a massive food supply so I am loaded up with food in a freezer. Won’t make that mistake again lol. I’m currently working on a massive expansion to my base and that’s going quite well too. It’s similar to your base design in EP2 of your newest play through. Thank you for all the advice and help I was only able to survive because it so thank you so much. This is a great channel and deserves a lot more subscribers. I’ll make sure to share it with my friends that play RimWorld too.

[@TheOneWhoisSilly123]

Thank you for these videos lad.

[@drunkengaming4782]

I no old but if you have a let's play video but in a tutorial sense (explaining stuff as you play) could you link it? game gets hard as you research as a new player

[@BugPowderDust]

Did the four episodes you just watched not go deep enough? I am making an intermediate guide, so feedback is always useful.

[@drunkengaming4782]

@@BugPowderDust Was pretty helpful but for the next one i'd recommend going deeper with the weather system, carvans and when/if you should expand (like for that quest to reach the ship) and when to do stuff like fine meals > simple meals.. just died to heat stroke then the next game my house burnt down before I could replace it with stone lol
