Idea: make a flat map, with no rocks or ores or anything, but ramp up the asteroid spawn rate and get your resources through them Edit for some clarification I just thought about: What I meant by flat map is by removing anything that’s mineable. Trees, berries, and maybe structures if you want, are unaffected. I mean, you could remove them if you really wanted to for that extra spike of masochism.

Better alternative to the weird, boring, breeding colony idea: Maximise genetic chaos, by any means available, start with 3-5 colonists of distinct genotypes, see how scrambled you can make their genes and/or their clones'/offsprings' genes within a set timeframe whether by gene editing, gene siphons, splicing, whatever is available within your preferred mod set. Maybe have a big hazard or crisis set to occur at the end of the time period and see if your genetic circus can survive and overcome it.

[@KubinWielki]

For some weird (but not that hard) colony ideas: Hospitalers / "Do No Harm" colony. TL;DR before the long post: No violence allowed for pawns. Only autonomous weapons/traps. Be the kindest colony with the greatest medical care for everyone (including prisoners). No slaves. Child eductation, not child labor. Specifics: You'd have to: - Keep all your pawns unarmed (non-violent pawns are preferable). Armour and shield-belts are fine and encouraged; - Have an ideology where Charity is at least at the Important level; - Focus on having the greatest and most advanced hospital possible, and as many medical-trained pawns as possible; - In general, only do surgery if it will be actively helpful, no organ harvesting or human skin industry, and overall be a nice guy colony with genuinely good care for all, including prisoners. - Like in "No Pawn left Behind" you gotta save everyone you can, but you don't have to recruit them - just make sure they're healthy and release them. Buy and free any slave you can. - If you want to raise children, focus on educating them (if you get a choice of medicine skill passion, or a medicine-boosting trait, you gotta choose that) and letting them play, rather than forcing them to work. - If you want to run Vanilla Ideology Expanded mod, then the suggested ideology memes are: Pacifist, Healthcare, and Emancipation; For combat, you CAN use: - traps; - turrets; - Mechanoids (though that would probably turn the playthrough into a somewhat regular mechanitor run, and it might end up boring, so your choice); - Non-violent psycasts are ok (so buffs/debuffs and even stuns are valid, but stuff like berserk or flashstorm aren't). - The only exception is if you get something like a toxifier/defoliator/psychic drop ship that you *have to* attack to activate - you can do that, for sanity's sake; Weapons that are not hand-carried, but are still operated by a pawn (such as mortars, or piles of chemfuel that are manually detonated by a mlotov, or the single-use orbital cannons/lasers) are disallowed, as they require the pawn to do the shooting/burning.

single pawn naked brutality start. nomadic, no settling allowed at all. the goal is to raid nearby settlements, recruiting anyone you can rescue and looting whatever you can. you are allowed to stay in the settlement after conquering it and make use of existing facilities until made to move (or set yourself an arbitrary limit, whichever you decide is better) the goal is to reach X colonists (50?) or to destroy the biggest baddest settlement on the map i myself have actually done 2 playthroughs like this and its quite fun, the biggest tip i could give is to scavenge as many mortars, turrets and batteries as possible early on, tame some pack animals on the first few maps to bring with you too. the final raid will take some strategy and quite a bit of time to get through but well worth an attempt and not as difficult as one might think!

Here’s an idea based on a run I’m currently doing. Select an island and try to get to space from that, starting as either crash landed survivors, a clan, or a tribe. I’ve done tropical but others might work as well. You can recruit whoever you deem fit, but with an island not only is your space limited, as are most of your resources, you can’t actually leave the island for quest locations and the like until you research drop pods. People can still raid you and caravans can still show up, but you can’t send either until you have the right tech.

[@thegreatzambooni9805]

Idea: install the highlanders immortals mod and make an organ harvesting colony based on harvesting organs from this one single immortal. They basically can't die unless they are specifically decapitated. If one immortal decapitates another, the winner grows stronger (allowing them to regrow limbs, organs, ect), you could have a bunch of lesser immortals or one super tough one or whatever.

[@ObliviousNaga]

Theres a mod called "spread the word" that allows you to free ideologically converted pawns and convert factions to your ideology. Maybe try a run where you convert as many of the factions to your ideology? Would make it an interesting balance of recruiting who you want but having to let some go so your goal can be achieved.

[@gingerbead7919]

I have a bad idea for you. Androids only, vs zombies. "The old masters fell, and now they rise again." Use vanilla expanded androids in a zombie mod. That way your colonists aren't screwed over with a single bite, but getting new colonists and fixing your current ones is more difficult

[@1stfedorafish763]

Idea: do a naked brutality run where you cannot recruit any other pawn. Essentially one permanent pawn.

If you are still taking these, here's a suggestion: A colony with a single person in it. Well, you can have other people, but only if they are slaves, prisoners, made into mechanoids, etc (basically being controlled by you), not doing any work in the colony (maybe a quest thrusts someone on you, or you want them to get laid for that mood buff), or are temporary like the refugees or called in labor. So, you'll either need to keep the colony small, or start automating with things like mechanoids, dryads, tamed animals, and/or modded machines. etc. Any mods as long as the modpack doesn't net decrease the difficulty of the run by much compared to vanilla. A variant of the above idea might be just a 100% pacificist colony, so you just need things to fight for you. Another thing could be (though not sure if it's possible) 100 days to get from VE tribal to the spaceship FTL victory in SoS 2. Any xenotype as long as it's premade or rules legal with no archocapsules (at the start, future genetic engineering in game is a different story), and same rules for mods as above (in fact, same rules mod wise for all of these). All vampire run. Can have slaves and prisoners, but all actual colonists must be sanquophages. VE Sanguaphage is allowed. Lastly, Noa's arch: one of each premade xenotype (including baseliner), no less, and no more without kids or clones. But the original members must remain alive. As long as they aren't OP (including being balanced out by them showing up in potential raids), feel free to add more xenotype mods for more to work with, like the VE stuff, alpha series mods, Biotech Expanded, Big and Small, etc.

Colony Idea: nomad raiders. Im curious to see how long you could survive while only being allowed to get food/supplies/weapons from other colonies.

Fun ideas/games that I have had (some dev mode to make/setup) and would like to share are: - A costal defense, with a few turrets and mortars to start against Winston Waves. I adjusted the map so enemies could only enter through shallow ocean tiles, with cliff blocking off the land approaches. This was inspired by the Costal Battery from Fortifications Citadel mod. (Considered doing this with a cloning only theme too some day) - Another one was to use the Highmate mod from Vanilla Expanded to make a 'harem' type cult, it was a more interesting experiment than one might think actually. - SkyMind Network play where the 'real' people never leave and only use surrogates to talk to the outside world.

Nomad is a a great way to play. No settling down- the longest you can stay in one place is however long you'll risk being on a map after a caravan event!

I usually like more of a relaxing experience, and I have gotten into a mood in which I'm sick of all the fighting in video games, so I tend to play RimWorld in a peaceful mode, with raids turned off. However, I still like to have some challenges. I have come close to following that last idea - accept any potential colonist who comes along regardless of how troublesome they may be. It can result in a rapidly growing colony, though without captured raiders, it doesn't grow quite as fast. Food, space, and interpersonal strife can be troublesome at times, and pyromaniacs can be counted on to spice things up, but it helps to have a lot of workers. Another good peaceful mode challenge is difficult environments. Without meat that can be obtained from raiders via cannibalism, the ice sheet is nearly impossible in the early game, and I don't think sea ice is possible at all without a custom scenario in which the colonists start with a lot of extra supplies. I've attempted the ice sheet a few times, with a success rate of about 20%. A little good luck can barely get the colonists through the early game, and once they get hydroponics going, it is easy from that point. I wonder what other sorts of peaceful mode challenges are feasible, especially with mods. Typically, these games get very easy once the colony is firmly established unless there is a major environmental catastrophe, and it simply becomes a sort of creative mode for building. The "accept every potential colonist" rule helps to spice things up in the later game, so I usually at least partially follow this. I think in my next game, I'll follow it to the extreme and see what happens. I suppose my idea would be to find some combination of challenges for the peaceful mode that will make the colonists just as miserable as in a colony that is constantly beset by raiders. Some combination of bad environment, accepting all potential colonists, and crazy genetics or difficult ideologies could do the trick.

I dunno... Drug producing philanthropist monks? Amish colony? No kill animal shelter? Build a proper city? I dunno. I don't have much experience in this game. Meaning none. Vampire hunting nuns?

Logge idea improvement: Train animals to fight for you. That does not technically break the rules, so if you make a tight corridor like you did and are willing to sacrifice some pets, you can bring down those pigs.

As a construction worker the shelf was excruciating to watch.

[@briannasevenhuysen5566]

I think a Wayward Traveler style would be good. The moment you spawn in you walk to other colonies and try to take them over. No one is allowed to plant food or tend to crops. Once the food runs out at the found colony you move to a new one to survive.

[@flamerdasher6001]

Hazzor if you were put into a rimworld I don't think your construction level would be even a 1.

[@BigNickEnergyy]

Another in the vein of playing rimworld counter to the way it is usually played I've always wanted to see a super efficient run where only ascetic pawns are allowed, tiny bedrooms and raw rice and low wealth. Maybe try to be actually pacifist? No violence at all not even traps, keep all valuables in roofed open rooms outside of strong walls so raids give up and steal stuff and leave? I dunno seems interesting in a counter intuitive way

[@Torkkar]

you do know unwaveringly loyal pawns CAN be Enslaved they're not particularly easy to keep but they can be enslaved

Idea: Breaking Bad Have Jesse and Walter characters with appropriate skills, grow smoke leaf and other drugs and see how much money you can make

Extremely late idea submission; The pawns, 5 tribals, start with an ideoligion that forbids mining, animal killing, and tree cutting, and optionally has raider/supremacist on top and they don't mind wearing tainted gear. These folk only get things by raiding - I have enjoyed playing this run a few times and usually give them terrible craft/construct/art through a xenotype to enforce the 'pay the iron price' mentality. You can put a lot of different spins on this one using different combos of stuff like medieval overhaul, VRE tribals, making them outdoor-sleeping yttakin, going big on gauranlen/psychics, etc. Whatever seems fun.

Idea: you should make a colony that believes in the idea that all people no matter race, age, gender, or foe they deserve to be buried and respected and the injured to be spared along with the imprisoned to be freed basically a colony where dead bodies is one of the worst things that can be seen imprisoning people is not allowed and all pawns on the map that die must be buried in some way while also not attacking the fleeing the reason I think this might be interesting is that the fact you can not convert people to your colony from prisoners and you have to make sure that everybody gets buried so your colonists don't get upset seems like a good challenge when it comes to recruitment and keeping your colonist happy Btw: love the videos and your storytelling and it really is great to see how you interact with your community you always keep me looking forward to what's next to come
