- In Todays video we follow a lone self replicating insect hybrid named Todd as he tries his very best to prepare for the unending flood of babies that grow on his back.
Rimworld's Steam description for the magical robot goblins -
Rimworld is a sci-fi colony sim driven by an intelligent AI storyteller. Generates stories by simulating psychology, ecology, gunplay, melee combat, climate, biomes, diplomacy, interpersonal relationships, art, medicine, trade, and more, wow... cool... these folks do that whilst worshipping insects.
Mods used -
Alpha genes for the fission gene.
Combat Extended
A random assortment of Vanilla Expanded mods
honestly this one is actually pretty vanilla, so I'm not going to make a mod collection. I didn't want to have too many mods because I knew the game would run terribly once the popualtion got massive.

Hey folks.
I have made this content.
You have clicked it.
What could this mean?

Xavier of course u don’t know bc ur name isn’t Jonathan
It simply means I enjoy your content lol
You're subscribe bit got me, clicked it ;)

That, Hazzor, is yeast. I'm staying indoors this weekends and enjoying what your colony has made.
I imagine a yeastoid civilization's sewer systems flowing with pure high-alcohol beer
@@BierBart12someone's gotta make a yeastoid xenotype
@@BierBart12 we're talking about sewer, so it would be quite dirty
But yeah
@@dominikrni Yes. This. Downside: you can't improve their moods with alchohol. Upside: all excrements (e.g., vomits in vanilla) magically turn into bottles of beer.
@@knpark2025 For game play purposes you'd have it as a milk thing, with a de-buff for not milking I guess. That or get Bad Hygen mod.
imagine telling one of those splitters "you and what army?" right before they, well do the thing they are named for
_plop_
"...is that a baby?"
"Plan A was to bring a bunch of friends, but that didn't really work out, and I didn't have time to set up plan B."
@@richardbeaton8653 I was making a joke about how the splitters in this mod don't replicate on a tactically relevant schedule; they're not chrysalids. Arbitrarily accelerating their growth cycle as a response to my joke is...confusing.

I did not need that reality check in a rim world video my guy
Sorry John
Well if you delivered the GODDAMN PAYLOAD we wouldn’t have to be so intrusive
Population is already declining so over populations really is a non issue. Should really be worried about not being able to replace the people that already do exist, actually.
What reality check? I didn’t see anything
@@Joshua-ox5frExactly. Overpopulation of intelligent beings has literally never been a thing as long as we have existed. We always just find another way to expand the food supply
6:50 Hazzor has gotta be the only Rimworld player to eat a self-tamed Thrumbo with no hesitation
...well maybe not the only one, but it was definitely an interesting choice.
Most hardcore rimmers have determined that most of the time a thrumbo isn't worth it as they're extremely hard to train (99% wild go brrrr) and eat valuable trees, which can wreck an early game colony
@@machtusAll my hardcore rimmers, sound off
i have a trumbo's farm, i kill them for the leather, much grass for everybody, but took a while to get them and on easy, i'm play this game for 3+ years, finally i get a wealth and stable colony, but this on easy and doing much research
He living in a desert if he lived on forest or something where trees and plantation heavy at least thrumbo will ate trees there
you'd have to have a master animal trainer to even have a chance of keeping it
[14:06] The reason your shells are missing even after you spotted the target is because the spotting system is broken when targettting these ship parts. You should instead tell the spotter to spot the floor next to the psychic ship for it to actually work.
so he basically took the idea of a breed colony, which was boring af, and turned it into something that is not boring af, nicely done lmao
Thankfully I am in a sane state of mind or else I would be extremely paranoid about delivering the payload.
What payload?
Apparently my name is John as well
Payload? What are you talking about?
@@AtlasNL I think despite what they may say they are going insane
We're sleeper cells. The mission is a go! We must deliver the payload
18:51 if I walked up with my gang of rebels and saw a dude just get their head deleted by a slug turret I'd have a heartattack too 😂
Fair point.
I bet everyone named Johnathan who watched this was thoroughly mortified 💀
Agreed as a John. Was like 😮 there ain’t no way tech is this good in a pre-recorded video LOL
I 100% was. Was listening to this as I was winding down in bed and it startled the heck out of me 😂
My currently sleep deprived brain did a triple take at that message to make sure I wasn't hallucinating 🤣
Maybe giving them lethal cell instability would control the population a bit
Isn't that the opposite of the point of this run?
Yea, but then it would be a race of splitting or dying out. It would be a fascinating playthrough.
Even harder without cannibal and traits that have no issues with bodies.
Mass effect reference
Indeed help control it and you could put some in cryosleep in case you needed more
@@timothymclean i think that when you age at 50x and a clone of you pops out every Month, a major cell Instability is fair
I learned recently that drop pods from quest rewards and traders will land at the closest unroofed tile to a trade beacon! If you build a trade beacon on the opposite side of your base as the mech cluster pods shouldn't fall into the firing line!
Or just make a courtyard with a trade beacon in it in the middle of your base. If mech clusters can see the courtyard, you have bigger problems than quest rewards.
Theres a Mod that adds a Drop Spot, dont remember what its called. Very convinient, same as the Trader Spot so they finally stop camping in the damn Killbox every single Time.
i feel like using the inherent melee skill gene and going full aggro on the other factions with this genotype would be pretty fun.
That sounds like an awesome Idea, theres a lot of Stuff you can add, like Sharp Claws, unarmed Damage up or even Acid Blood so you dont even have to bother equipping them with Weapons.

...Well, now I need to know if the crow got his package.
Did you comment this on the right video?
What is bro on about?
(Attention Crow, the package has been intercepted, I repeat, the package has been intercepted.)
Who? What package?
Why is everyone talking about packages lmao, im so confused
6:10
6:14 As someone named Jonathan I immediately became concerned 😂
😂
Why would you be concerned? He's just asking us to subscribe, that is very common on youtube
Why "someone named Jonathan", there's just a subscribe request there lmao
my name is john lol
fr real bro I heard my name and I was like "what" like a dog hearing the word food or walk 🤣
21:13 props to Doc for just ripping a line of coke in the midst of all that chaos
Please do a follow-up with the splitter. This one was uniquely interesting to watch and would be interesting to see how they fair in a different environment. Keep up the good work man.
Always down for more Hazzor, thanks a bunch!
the key to success on RimWorld UA-cam: have a commonwealth accent and sense of humor. Everything else just works. Looking forward to more in this series!
The frog might have something to say about that first bit
Right on time with the dinner entertainment! 👍
I live to serve.
Ill say you manage something extreme like 400, not because its sustainable but because all is breaking apart and you get into a loop of attempting to maintain them, but they just keep breading more. Until those dying will take over those being born, and eventually you end up with a way lower number at which point you could just re-assign them to different tasks and survive, but call it a day
aey, dex. I want to see you playing this game
What if you ran a cannibal splitter colony and used the excess pawns as a food source. Maybe add the extra meat gene from VFE Pigskins?
Ooo, I've done this one with bees! The queens are the only ones that can split, with massive physic abilities and an inability to do violence. Meanwhile, the workers are quick, weak, neurotic and clever, while the drones are tough and combat focused. Very fun play, with a royalty focused ideology.
Hot damn, "disposable child workers" strat is cold af.
Yeah... but y'know, it does work.
When it comes to cloning I tend to think of it like this: if you've cloned yourself, you're the parent. If someone else cloned you, you're it's sibling.
I really struggle with enjoying life but your videos are always making me feel warm, thank you ^^
I'm glad I can help.
And in that case apologies for the incredibly bleak part of the video at around 18 minutes hah.
The suppressor (unless they changed it) affects enemies on the map too causing them to lose consciousness early or even arrive totally incapacitated if they have some other health problem. Its offen worth walling off and keeping when you have a single gender colony and its tuned to the opposite gender in my opinion as its a free buff basically.
You should have tried this run with Vanilla Outposts Expanded, I can see you build a gigantic globe spanning empire like that
I think his laptop would have burst aflame
16:04 There are no words on gods green earth that can describe how much i jumped from that bug-looking mortar shell
Unironically amazing video
I think my name might be John
You think?
@@NotNormalBread Yeah whatever daddy Haz says goes, I just haven't legally changed it yet
All of you are posers
Did you deliver the payload for daddy hazor John?
@@Gilbert_gang. *Gasp* How do you know about the payload?? Only I, Johnathan, should know about it
The exisistential crisis was pretty clutch, cheers Hazzor love this playthru!
THE CHILDREN YERN FOR THE MINES!
yo i love your content
keep up the gud work
Thanks, I aim to do so.
Love how you really brought the play-through *together* . *One* hell of a video.
Man seeing your sub count at almost 200k is amazing! I remember getting your first video in my feed and how I became a fan instantly! Great job Servitor Hazzor
If you ever do this again, you should add the Live Munitions mod, so you can put the babies to good use
💀

A baby a day keeps Randy away! Thanks for the video Hazzor, it was mighty entertaining!
I just found your channel and i have already binge watched all of your content , absolutely love it. Keep up the great stuff !👍
Took some time, but I've finally caught up with all of your videos. I came for the Rimworld content and stayed for your charming personality in any game you play. Time to move on to your live content until you post you next video! Thank you for doing what you do my dude!
Alpha genes has some good bug stuff but I heartily recommend 'Oops All Bugparts' for stuff like abdomens, bug wings, exoskeleton bodies, and beetle horns
I love e^{x}
same bro, such a goated function to integrate and derive
@@medoyk637 e^x is the hardened steel of maths. Integrate it? e^x. Derive it? e^x. Nothing you can do hurts it.
I was binging the whole of Hazzor’s channel today and this was a fitting end to the binge. The story telling is always exemplary
Man., this was strangely cathartic to watch... earned another sub for sure.
Recently started playing Rimworld again after like a year break, this was fun to watch.
With my game, with a few mods to shorten pregnancy to a day and a few genes from loads of mods, I can make insectoid colonist that can produce 6 offspring a day I think, could vary a lot though
Yay! More Hazzor!
Another very entertaining Video!
Yet another lovely rimworld video, thank you Hazzor!
Always love your rimwolrd content the storytelling is really good keep up the good work, also I have a question are you going to do an 100 days Warhammer 40k in Rimwolrd video in the future or is it something that doesn't really interest you ?
Loving the content, always a good day when you upload! Have you ever considered doing a video on Songs of Syx? Been addicted to it the last few weeks and I think there's a lot of cool stuff you could explore with it.
first video on the channel :p
Though it's not really the kind of content I make nowadays, so I dunno maybe I'll revisit it sometime.
Thank you, Hazzor, for putting me in the video. It was an honour! ❤
You basically literally have an ant colony. Nice. Also your name choice for the package bit really got me ha
To Hazzor: Wait where is the crow again? -Johnathan
Why did Johnathan randomly sprint away?
i dont know. he was carrying some sort of black box... or was it brown?
He was muttering something about... I wanna say birds?
Before watching the rest of the video, I think 40 clones before it turns to shit! Great content my man! Awesome script, really nice editing and very entertaining! Keep it up! =)
Hazzor has become my favorite rimworld youtuber. These videos are just too good. I guess he just has a really good voice for story telling.
Just sat through a 2hr birthing class with my wife and strait after I click on a video about an ant with my name taking care of babies, I hope this goes well for him lol
What are they genes
And now I sit here, waiting, craving for more of this rimworld content.....
All Hail Hazzor's production quality
this man has done a pretty good job of getting me to subscribe.
D... Deliver the payload? M....me?
Only you can see it
See what?
please Jon its on you now, only you can do'it
...
We stan Todd, asexual icon
🫡
Truly, we must rejoice!
I did a real life pogchamp face when i saw the thumbnail and title.
Sure, its not exactly my suggestion, quite far from it actually, but its absolutely in the spirit of my suggestion and im glad to see you tried it out!
keep up the good work man

Mitosis, what every cell knows is...
WHEN IT COMES TIME TO DIVIIIIIIIDE
anyone else get a black screen at 6:15 ? weird error in the video Hazzor
Enthralling as always though admittedly was a bit disappointed you didn't charge the horde of bug on mass with every man and child armed with whatever they could find. A great concept colony regardless.
This video made me subscribe. Very nice
Meet todd;
Todd;"hello😊"
"Todd kinda looks like a bug"
Todd; "oh😢"
"Todd will have a a baby every 25 days"
Todd; "WHAT?!?!?! 😱😨😫"
What a great video, can't wait to show it to my guy Schizo John, he will love it
Have always wanted to toy with this concept!
Add:
The war-ant mod for theme
rim-war for domination goal
Enemy base enlarging mods for difficulty
The idea is to have a massive number of easily disposable pawns, swarming over a world... being beaten back again and again, but eventually, eventually all becoming... Todd.
Just made my day seeing that i could eat my breakfast and whatch your new video right when i woke up
I didn't expect this man to press me with my name well played subscribed 🤙
1:10: I think it makes sense to think of this as parthenogenesis rather than cloning, and offspring produced parthenogenetically are considered children rather than siblings.
I guessed the population would reach the low three digits before something bad happened. That only takes seven uninterrupted generations, and I've seen colonies run with low-three-digit populations and for _way_ more than 175 days. (200 to account for unexpected deaths.) That time estimate didn't account for the fission timer not starting until adulthood, and assumed that your population would get much higher before mass deaths started happening. Also that Hazzor's PC was on par with that guy who did a 200-colonist run.
something worth noting is that you can have multiple pawns researching at once, so long as you have enough research benches for all of them.
i just love how he keeps causing these insectoids "humans" like yea thats todd hes a classmate hes a little quirky but dont mind him
Amazing video like usual man and hope you keep going,but when can we see baby badger
Cant wait for the full swarm series.
6:45 I had one self-tame like that too... Saw that it was 200 years old and thought if I should sell it off before it dies, since they sell for a lot. But then I found out they live a whole lot longer than 200 years so I have it hauling my stuff around now :D
Package secured en route to the crow. I mean great video keep up the good work
this remind me of the minion clone army good job Hazzor!
Good video! I tried something similiar not so long ago and failed at food production. I also have video suggestion. You probably know Alpha Bioms and Alpha Animals mods. And also a Phytokin Xenotype mod. With a meme "Biological corruptors" and "Gauranlen Supremacy" you can effectivly use corrupted dryads and a new xenotype. They look cool and interesting, would be nice to see a video about it.
I already subscribed (the payload was delivered to the crow)
Nothing better than having a bad game session and get in bed to a hazzor upload
"aw beans, a cougar ate stafford" make mr drink come out me nose
It’s a good day when Hazzor posts a Rimworld video
Love these videos
My guess: not far enoguh - I always crave more your content kind sir. All the best!
New Hazzor video lets goooooo
Rad vid :) random mutation pawns would be another wild thing to watch. If you don't know there are mods that add that.
The scary part is that even if your colony is in a death spiral... You could've just taken one or two pawns, loaded them with whatever they could carry, and start a new colony while the old one burns down.
About a minute before you said it I thought "so you've finally made RimWorld into dwarf Fortress"
sitting in class right now but HAZZOR UPLOADED
Thank you Hazzor
That was beautiful!
Johnathon's been real quiet since this one dropped
I was idly watching this whilst doing something else and shit myself at the 6:15 callout, so thank you for that. Hahaha
Didn't need the existential dread in my funny hee-hee-hoo-hoo Rimworld challenge vid there, Hazzor... 😱
In all seriousness, this was a fun challenge. Real fun to see how crazy shit gets with a colony growing this large.
Honestly, it's stuff like this I enjoy seeing. Rapidly growing swarm of insects in a game that gives you such a massive amount of freedom? Yes sir, sign me up
