They Grow up so fast : Rimworld Anomaly Ep10

We have finally turned a corner. We have enough resources to support our transhumanist ideology. This means we can floor our expanded base, gets sleep accelerators, install hydroponics and start cranking out high end gear like weapons and flak vests. It's been tough keep out wealth this low but from now on it's time to go a bit wild on investment.

The game could automatically make kids avoid dangerous areas, but what kids do you know that have not seen something dangerous and thought, "this is a great place to draw with chalk"?

[@samir5740]

I dont't think FJ have kids, was ever a child or have ever MET one before. they will be atracted to danger like moths to fire, and if no danger is present, they'll create one. .....i was 7 or 8 at the time, and went to my dad with a beer bottle and a rag, and asked him if i could drain some gasoline from the (VW) bug we owned. he looked at me, slightly annoyed: "I swear to god, if you are trying to make molotovs...." that's how i rolled, and i was considered tame amongst the other kids in the region (Brasil, late 80's, early 90's)

[@cfalde]

Fridge. Every damn game. Get a kid floordrawing in the fridge.

[@bloodfith1]

It's funny in that both kids and adults think the exact same thing (e.g. I wonder what would happen if I touched a powered on electric fly swatter) except kids actually do it. Like keeping a toddler alive is a 24/7 task while they're awake because you turn around and bam, they've either drank bleach or stuck their head in a paint bucket.

[@cfalde]

@@bloodfith1 when my son was 2 I was making dinner. I heard something run behind me. Looked nothing there. 5 seconds later he screams. He had run into the kitchen opened the cabinet under the sink grabbed something and run out. He screamed because he spayed a foam cleaner in his face. Missed his eyes. So yeah

he was going into corps-filled area... are you SURE he wants to draw with _chalk_?

[@Yunners]

Ah Francis John, with these frequent Rimworld videos you are really spoiling us.

[@FrancisJohnYT]

It's the Ferrero Rocher that has got me so amped up.

[@Yunners]

@@FrancisJohnYT And I was afraid nobody would get that reference.

[@RFC3514]

Building walls immediately around geothermal generators is generally a bad idea, because if they get hit by lightning, you colonists won't be able to put out the fire. You should leave a gap of 1 tile between the generator and the wall. That also allows your colonists to hide inside if necessary.

[@GMJBClubs]

With the new hidden conduits, consider doing the noob trap of making battery banks since now there's no risk. You basically double your effective power for floor space.

[@RFC3514]

Regarding the superchargers, you don't actually need a 1:1 ratio, because it takes them a bit to walk there after they decide they want a charge. A ratio of 4 superchargers per 5 colonists is usually fine.

[@jamilhneini1002]

Definitely psycopath with sanguine works so well + the whole colony theme

[@elliotphoenix]

[@RFC3514]

7:17 - This tells me you still haven't figured out Anomaly. Never destroy corpses. They are, by far, your best defence. For the cost of a single deadlife shell, you get 50 disposable soldiers that will kill or at least significantly distract and delay enemy raids.

[@kerrymoore1961]

Francis and the return of the incredibly common thrumbo--

[@FrancisJohnYT]

Cold maps have a very high chance of Thrumbo we have discovered. It's not like lizards or most other desert animals can spawn. Great for our clothing needs though.

[@LuxCardell]

If we're talking narratively, there's a real argument for sickly since they grew up around an immense number of rotting corpses and unsanitary environments, like floordrawing in the killbox

[@amateurpwn4182]

[@pklemming]

If you ever have been in computers and forced to deal with the public, you will understand how tech and pain marry so well, together. I also have many 30 year old scars from doing builds and repair with cases that did not have edges deburred.

[@FoucoDelDrago]

I really like the idea of nimble for the kid

[@pklemming]

The first time you get a shambler assault should be interesting. Nimble is just handy, regardless of whether they are melee. Sickly should NOT take large events solely on themselves, but, from experience, still appears to a lot of the time. Cannibal is more of a cop-out trait. I would normally go nimble personally.

[@NoName-mi8js]

What do you want to teach your children? Well, either being nimble, a psychopath, or a cannibal.

[@Saihyou]

I lean towards psychopath, but the fact that cannibal has popped up twice... if cannibal pops up again on the third growth moment, it might be fate.

[@keyokediacherus2063]

So, I agree that Nimble would be the "power" choice, but you started this colony with a theme, the theme must be maintained. Psychopath!

[@yaemz123]

Nimble would be great except you have ghouls for melee. Psychopath, on the other hand, is just an amazing trait that fits with the colony theme exactly. Cannibal is less of a positive than it used to be, since there are so many anomaly and undead things which a cannibal can't eat.

[@salemprompthous3820]

Don't forget Peshet's deathrest accelerator. Last round of deathrest, she was down for the count through all the fun 😊

[@jkep6643]

Nimble is good but I think they have learned that melee should be restricted to the tough gouls

[@erenkaskc114]

30 minutes noooooooooooooooooooo

[@RFC3514]

Ghouls _do_ get older (meaning, their age counter gets incremented). But I'm not sure if their stats change with age.

[@Irokusion]

Everyone want dumbshit 1 to return, in the same time, he just chilling after all his hard work in the ground, like ghoul in Fallout serial

[@Tamizushi]

Why deal with the shamblers yourself when you can call the mechanitor ship on them? That's probably enough shamblers to deal with your first diabolus too if you're fast enough. Your colony could really do with a few lifters to cary corpse to the tree, a fabricator to smelt weapons and a roomba.

[@christopherrice2911]

Nimble, and then if any of the "thematic" ones come up in the final development, you gotta take one

[@bestofemse]

Would love nimble, but for the theme I think the only choice is psychopath

[@SayedHamidFatimi]

You should set a minimum on the component bill in the fabrication bench so your pawns aren't running to the fabrication bench every time a component is used

[@user-jo9uh4qg2h]

As someone who has dabbled in corset-making, I can fully attest to time required and the experience gain ......

[@FrancisJohnYT]

Wait what! corsets? how?

[@John-jc3ty]

2:40 you can solve that with the ritual and at the same time make someone of your pawns younger

[@custume]

looking really good

[@Eon2641]

Assuming it doesn't already exist, someone should make a mod that includes piercings and tattoos as a body modification.that counts for scarification. Lots and lots and LOTS of cultures that indulge in scarification also have long histories of doing all kinds of other mods, it's honestly kind of a glaring omission from the base game.

[@redunicorngaming]

As you started, you said if there was psychopath or bloodlust up for a kid's growth moment, it would be a must pick. Roleplaying wise, I think you should stick to it.

[@grejwers1324]

Man you really should activate that monolith already. Feels so bad knowing what is there waiting but getting blocked by monolith level 1. Also make disruptor flares, they are really good.

[@FuLou1988]

Francis the bioferit generator gives 4000W and uses 60 bioferit for almost 12 days, if you struggle with power again(which is likely with transhumanists) and have access bioferit.

[@FrancisJohnYT]

I think it's about 7 ish bioferit a day to run the generator which is tempting. But I was thinking of holding out for Atmosphere modifiers and heating the whole tile for eternal summer.

[@artemis9789]

Im voting for psychopath with the caveat that you change the pawns name to Hannibal.

[@theCrystalWoods.]

[@OverworkedITGuy]

See all of my previous arguments for cannibal from the first time around. Thematically, it just plain fits. Plus Cannibal has so much overlap with Psychopath that the two might as well be the same for this kid. Also Cannibal means that the kid still loves mommy, uncle Smerk and all of his aunts.

[@matthewbauerle7153]

You might want to set basic research entities to "maintain only" if you don't have a basic research project. Once you research all the stuff you'll want to set most entities to "maintain only." That way you'll still be able to harvest bioferrite but won't waste time sending research points into the ether. There'll still be some entities that come back that you will want to study like the obelisks, unnatural corpses, and a few more you haven't discovered yet, but most will just be good for farming bioferrite.

[@nematrec1]

I vote slowpoke, cause that's the best trait ever! Okay but seriously I vote nimble As for slowpoke, it's actually the best trait for inspirations, it disables go frenzy, then you can throw in awful skill genes for animals (or production specialist), social, and doctoring to prevent most other inspirations. Then you have a choice of awful shooting or brawler trait to prevent shoot frenzy. At that point you only have work frenzy and creativity inspirations, meaning each inspiration has a 50% chance of being creative.

[@r3dp9]

Huh, that's actually pretty clever. I had no idea that trait could be so good.

[@ShadowWolfTJC]

These cripplingly-high psychic drones are just one of several reasons why, despite the game seemingly insisting on portraying these as overall more harm than good, I've personally come to see Psychic Deafness/Dullness as more of a blessing than a curse for most ordinary colonists, in that, while they would've indeed been incapable of using psycasts, it would've made these kinds of events less detrimental (and would've also made them less susceptible towards said psycasts being used against themselves). Besides, once I obtain psycasts, plus a sufficient means of counteracting said psychic drones, I could later opt to overwrite many of these Psychic Deafness/Dullness genes/gear with Psychic Sensitivity genes/gear.

[@FrancisJohnYT]

Yeah you only tend to have one or two non tribal psycasters. Better to inject them with the gene for psy deafness if we get a chance.
