[@Gerniaz]

Wooden hand to minimize the risk of infection. Should give bionic legs and arms to everyone.

[@Cheshire020]

I can hardly believe it. Chef Will and Mariana's roles are reversed. Now she'll have to desperately search for a way to bring him back. This story's so much better than Romeo and Juliet, since this story has mushroom zombies.

It's such a perfect turn, he put her in a coma to find a cure, pushed himself to the point where he needed to be put in a coma too, the friends they made along the way find a way to bring her back and now she will do the same for him. What a love story.

[@JackdotC]

"arm for Timon" meanwhile Mariana is laying there with half of her body missing despite bionics and the cure being made about a year ago

Yes and No. The cure was ready, but he had no way to cure the brain damage. That is why he purposefully left her in the coma.

Well...yeah... But what is she going to do about it... Timons spine needs bionics just to support the whole colony.

[@legateelizabeth]

I know it must've been boring to play but seeing it sped up this is a really cool episode of the zombie series you've got. It's a classic set-up: the power goes out, and our team have to survive in the dark, setting up campfires and relying on the few systems they have to live through the snow outside. I imagine there'd be a lot of character development and conversations - and the tense confrontation with a group of friendly, but infected, survivors passing through was a lovely break up mid-timelapse.

7:36 I like to think the mushroom hair works just like real hair in the sense that it’s dead. The nullifier kills all the fungal growths and leaves a bunch of dead fungal cells that get flushed out or scraped off in other parts of the body. So now Banana’s just stuck with lifeless mushroom growths dangling from her head.

[@JesusKreist]

Most people are not aware that hair and nails are actually waste products of the body like urine is. Evolution just has found a use for them. Bananas hair is but a remnant of her cured body. The live fungoid was repelled but the hair as said is a waste product and thus was not reverted. If rimworld would render hair growth after some time she'd go back to her previous hair color/style as *her* hair grows instead. In the meantime she could grab scissors but realistically speaking she has part of a natural camouflage in emergency situations with that ...

[@02DarkKnight21]

Yes 💯🙌💯

[@Grurmac]

I don't know what it is exactly, but the timelapses where nothing happens and you can just see time passing and people do things really gets me. It's super chill in the best way, especially after how stressful some moments are. Kind of reminds me of how these people are trying to live in the apocalypse, and not just constantly adventure or fight off hordes (although they do still do that a lot).

[@MarkReidAtheism]

This series is absolutely amazing - the story being generated is a cliffhanger of people barely surviving in a world gone absolutely crazy. I love Timon but I think that Big Brain Cai is the unsung hero.

[@creativeandmeaningfulname1164]

The time-laps with suspenseful music was really cool

[@gothik33]

For Chef's Luciferium addiction, you can craft an Addiction Remover from the Mechanite Forge mod (which also lets you craft Luciferium and other interesting super drugs) but I'm afraid it would break what is undoubtedly one of the most balanced modpacks you've come up with. I guess Chef's ticking time bomb of an addiction is a reality we have to accept.

[@jonathansammon9105]

You really need to start using the truck to navigate safely (somewhat, at least) around your base. Seeing a survivor crash down in an escape pod and then having your colonist rush to jump in the truck and beat the hoard to rescue them would be incredible

[@scp2539]

31:58 Does the lower half of the screen blackout for anyone else? It happened a couple times in the last series as well.

[@TaCo0oCaT]

Probably a glitch with the recording software since Sam doesn’t react to it

[@JakeStephanSmith]

[@StevetheWizard2591]

Pretty sure that a Healer Mech Serum can cure Trauma Savant by curing the brain injury that causes the condition. That would just leave Chef Will with an incurable Luciferium dependency, and a chef having a substance dependency is perfectly in character.

[@acatreassuresyouthateveryt7842]

No it doesn't. I have a combat melee pawn with trauma savant and head injury (brain scar iirc) caused by combat reason. I don't remember whether I cured the trauma savant or not (because I think trauma savant is major buff for the mood), but I remember using healer mech serum on the pawn and it only cured the brain injury

[@Reoh0z]

Will & Mariana are going to laugh so hard over that time she tried to tear him limb from limb so he shot off a couple of her limbs.

[@nematic529]

Again this is an amazing modpack. 15 episodes deep, yet still need to carefully think about accepting a quest!

[@lady_lunaa]

can we talk about how metal it is for cai to not only craft her OWN CURE for the illness that she diagnosed ON HERSELF but to lie in bed and accept that she is infected, waiting patiently for the infection to overtake her, full of thoughts about her cure. not only that but when she turns, she fights back the mushroom madness because she is hanging onto her last human, conscious thought: go on a mission and hobble her way to the crafting room to stab herself with the cure like it's an epipen to her allergies

yet another amazing episode in this series, I especially want to commend you on the timelapse with the night/day cycle while waiting for the 7 day quest ticks on. its extremely immersive and thrilling. thank you for all this high quality content Mr. Streamer!

[@Error-yj2bi]

I really must express this again. This series is the first in a long time from you that I am hooked on. And if you have fun it's even better. Great Work Mr Streamer!

[@KattaLord]

Really love this series. I think it would be fitting to use the ancient supply slingshot to trade spare resources with other survivors, although I am not sure how balanced it is. In my playthroughs with VFE Ancients it usually was a fair trade, since the supply drop is of roughly the same wealth as the stuff you send. You could impose some restrictions upon yourself, like only sending stuff other survivors might need (meals, medicine, spare guns, ammo, etc.) and not just using it to dump excess amounts of a single resource

[@Ivar2x4]

man this is probably my favorite series you've done, the fear of the infected is real. the time lapse of the 7 days had me glued to the screen

[@Fazzimus]

The timelapse was TERRIFYING, I couldn't look away. A++

[@Ananas_on_fire]

I think remotely activated incendiary IEDs in the fenced gatehouse of the vault can be applicable Also this fog of war is a bitch, there must be means to keep the gatehouse under constant observation

[@JesusKreist]

There is. Cameras provide LOS, he has them in the rooms already to notice if something is up even if the colonists are elsewhere. But they are rather squishy and not *that* cheap to build, why he can't build them on the defense lines.

[@JackOfGears]

There are cameras, but they cost steel and components.

[@paradoxmo]

It would be better just to build turrets, just a mini turret behind some embrasures would be more useful than a camera

[@justsomeeggsinapot1784]

I think despite the vault, the caravaning out and investigating ruins keeps that spooky factor from the city

[@berniegran5391]

if the mushroom people can only scracht and bite in order to infect others then using regular full plate armor made of steel should protect your people. flak armor and flak pants help but they leave the hands and feet exposed

[@piterdegraaf4337]

This story is amazing. The first few episodes in the city were great. At any moment the series could have been over. I won’t forgot you locking a manhunting thrumbo in a burning room. Real 8000 hour play right there. When the vault became too safe you were definitely proven wrong. Great series. Everyday I’m looking forward to the next episode. See you tomorrow.

I don't think I've ever been this invested in a series quite like right now. The suspense, frustration, and relief. The brief feelings of safety and outright horror in some moments is just too good. As much as I love the tomfoolery you get up to in your previous playthroughs, this might be the best so far. This is peak story-telling and I'm all in. Keep up the good work sir, and take care of yourself!

[@blotcho84]

I am loving this series ~ each character has turned out to have such awesome characterization. Big Brain Cai has really earned her nickname, and I never would've expected Timon to have reached the heights of badassery that he has.

[@Epic24123]

though I do like the idea that the mushroom hair is residual fungus from the whole "being turned into a mushroom" thing, I do also like the idea that they intentionally style their hair that way, as if declaring that infection a part of their identity or to show the hardships they faced.

[@MrMaradok]

Big Brain Cai can still be a “Careful Shooter,” just pretend that it’s for her medical procedures - she knows full well that the colony has very limited supplies, so one misstep could be the difference between a perfectly treated patient and a medical emergency misused, and now *wasted* medicine. If that doesn’t make somebody want to be extra careful, then I don’t know what would!

I adore this, Mariana finally gets cured, she rushes around asking where her husband is but, when they meet, he's a changed man. Could he even be the same man as he was before?

[@davidbodor1762]

Healer mech serums don't take away the consequences of your actions, they take away random BS rng where you get 50% reduction on your limbs at random from combat and they're extremely limited since you can't craft them. BIONICS on the other hand you can craft and do the same thing, they're much more of a problem, heck they even improve your colonists depending on the type of bionic. I think Archotech stuff that you get randomly is fine, since they're limited, but I'd much prefer healer mech serums over the craftable bionics.

[@fuzzyfuzzyfungus]

It's a different infection; but the dark, freezing, infection base with a flamethrower manaic has enough The Thing vibes to make John Carpenter boost your pawns' construction skill.

[@kctalks]

After some amount of time being mush-disease free, survivors should get a haircut as a sign of having conquered the trial.. If only because then a lot of them will likely end up with the same hair. Kind of a shame there isn't a tattoo system or something you could use to mark survivors.

[@lytalo]

[@cetomedo]

If I may give one suggestion, next time you're without cameras and turrets, you could use your colonists as guards to see what comes. Just keep one drafted and watching the gates, and periodically switch who is drafted and watching (to stop them from falling asleep, dying of hunger, or going mad), like how it is done in almost all fiction and even in real life in similar situations.

[@lukeburr5633]

I think a cool idea for the cure after some improvemnts by Big Brain Cai would be to somehow make it easier for mass adminstration, which would tie in nicely to story telling for curing the world and add an interesting end goal. Im thinking along the lines of a mist for fast despersion via helicopter or make a dart gun with the nullifier in the darts. If you go with the mist option a modified flamethrower would tie into grills character, instead of clensing flames grill be become the cleanser of the mycomorphs. I am not sure how this would be modded into the game but i think the dart gun option would be a viable one? You shoot the cure and then tend the people in a healing camp and build up an in lore medical aid army.

[@Blaze252001]

I would really enjoy a series that had a blackout like you accepted but that was weekly with a raid. The backstory could be there's a weekly eclipse that the tribals believe stem from their God as an opportunity to attack the hightech out-worlders. 🎉

I think it would be really cool to see the Fungal Hive get slowly de-fungified. Capture, cure, and convert the infected, and then release them. Maybe "Spread the Word" would work for that? Like how it was in the Android series? And once the hive is completely cured, consider that a victory and make them non-hostile? It's not perfect, but I think it might work as a win condition.
