Base Building on the Rim

meanwhile my basebuilding: ah shit, we're out of rooms. just add a random box to the side, im sure it will be perfectly fine there

me watching my colonists slowly walk across the whole base to get to that room about 3 hours later

I like to use a combination of a barracks and seperate rooms: I can save the rooms for greedy or unhappy colonists while keeping the more chill and easy to please colonists in the barracks to save space and resources. I also like to put double beds in all the single rooms to maximize the use of space for when pawns get married. A barracks isn't as bad as it seems at first because the more optimal use of space also gives better access to recreation and beauty which cna often make up for the debuffs anyway.

Oh, dogs and cats give mood bonus by "nuzzling" actually! So its nice to keep a mascot dog or cat, altho multiple means more frequent nuzzles on more colonists, too many will just drain your food, plus you can train at least dogs to haul, good for moving corpses so pawns dont have to move rotting bodies, plus dogs can always chow down on the dead badguys

And barracks are actually viable late game, a very impressive barracks with your dining and rec room together will provide way more mood in a much more space efficient layout then the -3 for disturbed sleep, since pawns mood hits for barracks go down when it is very impressive or getting there

My first mountain base, had a couple as my starter pawns kept them alive, gave them a gold bed, they had a separate ultra nice room from the plebs, I loved them

Bugs spawned IN their room, destroying all my work and my little couple I was attached to, I felt awful, the scrub pawns were too far away to help, my base was overrun, I had them near the crafting room since the husband was the main crafter, my workbenches all got destroyed... I started a new colony after that and avoided the mountains for a while, usually doing the trick of building alongside the mountain and only digging in a little (before I learned the mechanics)

Bro imagine building a hospital instead of tending to your colonist in an outhouse that i wouldn't wish my worst enemy to take a shit in

On my first serious playthrough I just built a prison and locked up some raiders until they starved to death because I didnt know what to do with them or how to feed them.

you say dogs add no benefit, but when you look upon my dog army you weep, for i have discovered that you dont have to care about chickens lives when you mute the warning sounds.

How do you tell your colonists to put food in one zone and other stuff in another?

Otherwise if your playing the game to win or do well, try not to go for beauty, at all, your severely limiting yourself that way, it needs to be as efficient as possible

Bro you said 8x8 but you made 6x6 bedroom

Also I respect the science team.

i solved power this way:
neuroquake in royalty against mech clusters, and watch them fight themselves/ afterwards, youl be left with tons of shiny loot, AND most unstables power cells will be intact. this is how i make 30000 w in a 12 by 11 room

I love that intro <3 blah blah blah I don't subscribe to many but the uniqueness and humor of it deserves something at least

I have 2 cores filled with wood and cemfuel gens... The amount of times I've screamed "REFUEL THE FUCKING GENERATORS DUMBASS!" is ubelievable.

Him: "Make 8x8 room"
Well I'd just stick with 2x3 room with silver bed and a torch, thank you very much.

I use my dining room as a priduction room,and of course I add a recreational item too,u?

i feel like my hydroponic setup only had 2 unused tiles🤔

I'm only going to say this once. You don't need the DLC. Just use the workshop and mod the effervescent shit out of it. It will add tremendous amounts of replay value.

I just smash shapes shaped like ohio into eachother until i get a base 😭

insectoid nam flashbacks
the higher risk higher reward

I actually like the medium sized dogs (like the labrador) because they can be taught to rescue and haul things. I don't really teach them to "guard" because it might put them at risk during combat, and you can't put armor on dogs I don't think, but they are somewhat useful in my opinion

I just got this as keep hearing great things about it. Bought it with the 2 x DLC's as well as they looked interesting. Watching this to get some tips, but it's probably just going to end up confusing me, ha ha. I should probably just try and play the game.

14 days left to finish my 2 years old preparation exam, afterwards I'll have time to finally play Rimworld. Best game ever

the idubbz gag was creative and funny to me that i couldnt help but sub

im not autistic enough to come up with such a beautiful base. mine consists of squares of differing sizes

yes... I created the "Kerriton"- my cannibalistic, blind, fanatics tribe who live in the deep of the mountain and eat any travelers that are funneled through the only tunnel to the other side to the map. They care not for the native tribes, they care not for psylinks and cyborg body parts. They have no mercy, no sorrow, and no remorse, they live so deep in the mountain that no airstrike can ever get to them, they hunt insectoids for sport and of course they consume their fallen friends and family members. Their only real love and sacred thing are dogs. They would see the whole planet and all of its inhabitants burn before they let any dog come to harm. For dogs are the only truly pure beings in this universe. everyone else can and must be consumed. Long live the Kerriton long live our k9 Gods (600 hours in rimworld does this to your brain)

Aye just don’t my girlfriend I’ve been looking at bases okay

Teach me thine ways of video editting, m'lord

My pyro maniac pawn just “accidentally” burned my base

junior said that dogs and cats dont serve any purpose yet they make good haulers when you have a big base plus you can train them to make bullet sponges

One thing I strongly disagree with is multiple entryways to your kitchen. Pawns will path through them and track filth in there.

I always make it so you either need to go through the freezer to get to the kitchen or make them next door, with the kitchen at the end of a deadend hallway.

The only people that should ever go into the kitchen are cooks. Likewise...

The only people that should ever go into a hospital are doctors and patients.

The only people that should ever go into the lab are researchers.

I don't give a shit about the sweat shop though lol I store dead bodies in there to remind the slaves what happens when they fail to make quotas.

I wish my computer-like brain would stop making plain, utilitarian bases. Yeah sure my bases are basically undefeatable and 100% optimised, but they don't look beautiful nor interesting, at least not after the 10th savegame

"But if you build under a mountain you get zerg rushed!"
More meat.
"But if you build wealth too quickly the raids are larger."
MORE. MEAT.

I disagree with the dogs and cats anecdote

My list of essential animals is this
- milk producers (like muffalo or dromedaries)
- high quality fur producers (depends on your location due to temperatures)
-chemfuel producers (boomalopes, can also be used as weapons :3)
-haulers and rescuers (larger/smarter dogs like labradors and huskies)

Even my 1st hospital was a lot better D: i knew that you can just fit easily Vital monitor between 2 beds .. this just now was too dry of tip for my EYES !! Aááárrgggghh (>_>) (O-O) also double walls for even better isulation, reason of the mountains .. case you have most of mountain isulating the temp with these rock walls !!! make airlocks for moth Temperature&Security (at least 5 blocks apart so doors can close before 2nd opens)

why should I give my prisioners a good quality of life?

8×8 bedrooms?! 6×3 marble rooms with royal marble beds (normal) can reach very impressive for a fraction the space. I guess this won't have the depth I'm looking for...

This is the only great video i’ve found on this! Thank you so much!

Never watched you before, but dude you were so funny in the first two minutes of this video I insta subscribed.

good shit bro. this guide underrated AF. THE required Rimworld room must have!

I've started playing this game recently and there is so much to take in. It's almost overwhelming, and this was very helpful.

You only need to have the kitchen be sanitary; the food storage area itself doesn't need to be sterile

why have I never thought of shelves in the hospital????? thank you so much wow

Anything new added to the game in the 15 months since this video came out that I should be aware of?

Cat and dogs are great colony animals because they can be trained to haul your stuff around.

This channel is so underrated. Have a sub.
