I am surprised you didn't talk more about sappers, They look for weak spots in walls... however you can protect those walls and dictate where the sappers attack or dig in by putting unpowered turrets on the inside of the walls. The sappers can actually sense the turrets and wont dig in that area if there is one.
Killboxes can take care of the big part of raiders, but a lot will find ways to go past it. The best so far has been the bunker in a choke point for me, and building choke points in my base. Someone might wonder why there is a wall outcrop every 5 tiles in my hallways, but once the insects show up... they will understand.
After years in game and you reach millions of wealth, killboxes, fences, traps or mines became ineffective with hundreds of raiders/bugs/mechs. You will need better weapons like nuclear warheads, gauss guns which can pierce though multiple targets or any kind of weapon that damage AoE.
Unless it got fixed, you can put a parameter around your base of turrets, but leave a slice uncovered (a la your kill box entrance) to funnel sappers in with the rest of the lambs. The sapper AI will do it's best to avoid turrets, thus you can exploit that.
I only use turrets and traps early game. I have a double kill box with an open door leading around the base. Enemies target the bedrooms so they keep moving. I use embrasures mod for the main kill box and barricades for the 2nd one so they still have a path. Sandbags will slow them down but I space them out 1 at a time so it splits people up. And pile them up when they get into range so they stand on top of the bags. Turrets guard the base for air drop raids. Most important part is location. I have the best location possible. Boreal forest. Ocean to the the right. Mountain to north and south. Swamp in front of my kill box. Acts as a moat
Embrasures are cheaty as hell and make defense quite a bit easier than it should be! ... What? Of course I use them. Did you not hear me just describe why I would? I thought that was clear.
@@gekkobear2 they make total sense to have embrasures. Even medival and bronze eras they had fortifications or windows for archers and range fighters to shoot out of. We use bunkers in world wars. Everything is mechanized today It's only cheaty because the developer didn't put them in
Making a long, long maze like path into your base is still the best long enough that it takes raiders days to traverse littered with plenty of corpses since observing rotting corpse is a stackable debuff add the debuffs for levels of starvation and fatigue and they'd be more likely to have mental breaks and give up (plus if any die from fighting each other you get more corpses)(BaRKy has an old video on this)
A good defensive trap if you have the Vanilla expanded Power mod you can build helixien gas vents inside a zig zag maze. Wait until the mob is about half way into the maze then turn on the gas. They won't survive long enough to get back out.
A little confused.. in my experience if you have as much of a maze you've shown here... they will dig through walls and go AROUND instead of spending days walking through it. And this was done with I believe minimum 5 thick solid walls constructed on any possible path other than my maze.
My fav tactic is to have 2 colonies with +-same power and with drop pods. If one of your colonies is close to fall you can 1. evac or 2. use your second colony as support.
corridor with sandbags and opens doors to allow raiders in , then heaters/coolers to give hypothermia or heatstroke , and an autobong to slow them down further , increasing the chances of downing them. you can toggle the doors on/off to let them in and then close them for your temperature related trap to be enclosed. also gives the advantage of imprisoning them since this weed and heat combo basically drains their consciousness percentage.
The fucking quality and editing on this is absurd, this dude putting in major major work ,damn. Just mad props, subbed for sure, bugging a new rimworld friend to do the same. Cause under 6k subs is criminal. With this level of quality it's only a matter of time. Great video, and useful info too. Just, fuck
I remember ending a siege in 1 minute: I was just absolutely lucky to hit a munition with my mortar shot. It exploded, downing 4 out of 7 Siegers. The rest just ran away. The luckiest day on Rimworld.
I personally enact a trench warfare doctrine, down to using the trench warfare part of the vanilla expanded security addon, and as many mortars, manned and automatic, as i can reasonably use. I also tend to make what i call "fool's cover"; purposefully good cover (stone barricades), with a line of chemfuel barrels behind it. Some poor bandit thinks theyre safe behind cover, only to get shredded and ignited. I trap my corpse stockpile in a similar way, placing it in the raid entryway, surrounded by chemfuel barrels. When the raid comes in, the barrels are shot at, burning down the corpse stockpile and killing the invaders, either through heatstroke or direct burns. (I coined this tactic in a permanent toxic fallout world where most corpses were unbutcherable) My most recent colony has also had a ban on automated turrets. Its actually really fun when you have to decide where your defenders shoot from. And drop pods are no problem; my colonists are all trained to fight at close to mid range; were not trapped with them, theyre trapped with us.
My first time dealling with sappers, they drilled into my animal pin and set it on fire. My second time with sappers THEY DRILLED INTO MY ANIMAL PIN AGAIN jt had a bigger wall too! And then shot at all my animals!
The first sitch is how I lost my first colony. The Minutemen were overrun by being worn down by the insects…and the survivors didn’t stand a chance…royalty had me summon reinforcements and miraculously I survived. Then another faction raided me….my first colony, and first failed run….as the death of the minuteman took hold, the survivors escaped into the wilderness. Only to starve and be stabbed to death by drugged tribals…. Long Live The Minutemen!!!
Sappers will choose an opened door instead of digging through the wall if they have a path to your base through that door. You can lure them in a killbox without turret that way. Raiders wear low shield pack these days so colonist should get a few to protect themselves. Zap an enemy with insanity lance sometimes make their friends blasting them with deadly rockets.
@@Noobert ... it's the same feeling when you wake up in the morning listening to the sound of explosion in the insect hive because you planted some bombs while they sleep.
surprised you didn't end with "If everyone is dying and it looks horrific, take a few pawns and leave". If you have enough time to crack an ancient danger, you have enough time to flee the map.
One of my current strategies since I don’t really want to build a killbox has been to always have tree sowing so that I can line my many layered walls with tons of spike traps. Yes they don’t work that well against centipedes but I have so many lining my walls that centipedes will eventually die. This has fended off every raid that isn’t a siege or sapper raid quite well. And with a large enough walled area I can poke my colonists out of one of the doors to get kills here and there when I think that the raid is thin on one side of my walls.
My newest colony got raided and my colony is built into a mountain right next to an ancient danger so when the team of sappers tried to breach they breached the ancient danger and 2 scythers and a centipede destroyed the raid but the raider were able to destroy the centipede and one scyther and I got 5 new slaves
It all comes down to what type of playstyle you go for if you play standard then your networth shoudnt be over 500k so all of this stuff may work hoever if you plaing an endles colony with 10m+ networth even kill boxes may be insuficient.
I got a mod that adds glitterworkd raiders that send orbital strikes that completely destroy your base if it's not inside a mountain, right before they send 200 drop pods to finish off your survivors. No matter how good my defenses are these raids usually end my colonies 100 percent of the time
I'm late, I usually use disruption to deal with sieges, having a sniper or two, especially if one has careful shooter is really good for sieges, you can target just about anyone of them, but you must instantly kill them, this forces them to abandon the building process and change to a normal raid, you can either take them on in the fields or run back to your walls 😂 jump packs become extremely useful here too
Drop pod siege: “Hahah! We have circumvented your killbox! You’re defenses are nil, we are victory! Skaven horde colony that doesn’t need a kill box (outside of safe room for non-combatant pawns): “Grey-Seer! Look-look, the great horned rat has bestowed-gifted us-us free delivery meal! Now we don’t have to haul-store them-them for the rathounds!” (And then the globadiers rot the corpses from toxic buildup >:( )
@@Noobert any chance you have done a advanced guide for rim world mod that allows you set your work schedule/ priorities from 1 to 9 and even allows you set time for when a colonists works on something?
how to survive after all your defenses have failed you and all your pawn are either dead or wounded ... you just request help from the empire and if they don't come to save the day you just wait for another raid to finish the first
My best strategy so far has been having my psycasters skip the groups around to break them up as they come through the door. Bc some of them just don't want to line up! I really need to build a kill box soon..m
As someone who is super paranoid when it comes to defense I have fall back upon fall back positions literally, if a carpenter comes along they will have to go through at least 2 walls each 1 being 2 blocks thick. I am literally prepared for the worst. Also any ideas how to take down mechanoids cruisers? I am VERY VERY worried since there are already 3 on my world and I wanna blow em up and take their components.(I also do not want to face upgraded mechanoids.)
A thing i recommend to do is a megastructure whit all you need in it and later a wall whit 3 blocks of separation from the megastructure so if you add mods you can make more rooms in the exterior of the megastructure without being whit no defense
This is the first video of yours I have seen, and this is absolutely amazing Noobert! The editing and comedy with the information is just astounding, fantastic job!! Sub earned!
I use CE (Combat Extended) and spike traps r so broken that 1 wood spike trap can do over 200 damage to a man in power armor at best. 30 damage at worst.
Mortars are cool and all when dealing with a siege but have you ever gotten a marine from the empire, had a pawn with a summoning ability (from a mod) to cause chaos and destruction in the siege camp I summoned a monster in the middle of their camp shot down a few of them and forced them to do a normal raid it was glorious we even got a pretty useful unit
I gotta ask those 3d models you used at the start of the video where did it come from? They are familiar to me but I cant seem to find the name of it anymore but i did know that it was an early alpha game that was incomplete.
one thing that should not be forgotten is that you can actually leave your base behind when you get overwhelmed as long as you dont play with timed thread increase only loosing your base can loose you enough wealth to recover elsewhere and return after the raiders left as such a bug out room with enough transport pods to yeet yourself out already loaded with fuel and essentials is not a bad idea alternatively and in early game a multi walled and doored room in the back corner of your base from which you can dig outside while the enemy tries to break a set of 4 stone doors can let you safely reach the maps edge
Me play rimworld with CE have raid 15 centipedes drop middle of my base and with storyteller Igor Invader: You don't have tip to fight again 15 centipedes in middle my base.
Rampaging elephant is scarier than centipede I think. One elephant is enough to take two centipede down. Give them some love with animal armor mod easy mechanoid fix even better if you have pack of them like 10 of them.
i Love my OC defense Rifles, can just about kill anything it finds and has extremely good accuracy, very OP other than that i havea long tunnel about 40 tiles long and maybe 10 or so wide with a bunch of turret at the end and all my colonists on the other side waiting for the first enemy raider to enter the tunnel and die, very stupid but it works
Boomrats in the walls. Mining the whole wall would be a bit much. Maybe between the last wall and your base. But letting Boomrats await a breach in the first wall(s) sounds like !!fun.!!
If I have 4 pawns, who have 1 lmg, 1 auto pistol, one bolt and one revolver and I have no killbox, if say.. a forest fire burned down an ancient danger wall and let out 4 mechanoids, what should i do? help this really happened to me
Now, this is only a budding plan but I really wonder how this works. This is a wild -plan- delusion from an amateur (tutorial game died and this is my first real game) who has a fantasy for incredibly over engineered defenses, it's a long way down. The killing floor is wide, really wide. Wide enough for an amateur level shooting pawn to not hit a structure with a mortar. Mid part: _The killing floor_ I plan to have roof traps all over the area, slug uranium turrets on the left side and autocannons on the right (entry via north), all turrets measured to be placed in its effective range, mortars raining down into the area (not wide enough an antigrain to be used safely though). Exit points on the upper left and right side (across the field from the "Inner/below"). No floors so nobody gets a nice walking speed buff. I'm wondering if I should put doors infront of the turrets and open them when the raid comes. I think I should do half-&-half, half of the turrets are open and the other half not. Inner/below: _Where my pawns will take position._ Walls and barricades alternate (2 walls and a barricade on either side) shaped into a hemisphere, this in a way allows me to have 2 pawns peaking from the same side of wall with no risk of friendly fire. Doors behind all the cover and a hospital no further than 40 units from it's furthest manned position. I'm still wondering if I should put small sentries infront of the cover at the cost of my pawns being unable to provide overlapping fire when enemies come too close (walls on the side of it would prevent them from firing from one end of the hemisphere to the other). I also have a tortoise as bait for the raiders. In the middle and it's lowest point of the hemisphere, the door can be left open and create a melee "killbox". So my pawns can retreat and reposition to the melee killbox. Upper/Entryway: _A snaking maze laced with traps and obstacles to slow them down._ I don't plan to lace every single available space with traps due to costs and safety reasons. The entry point of the maze is a hallway from the right side, completely filled with things to slow them down (I noticed that if these "obstacles" are adjacent to each other, they only slow them down on the entry but then walk at normal speed for any adjacent ones). The entry of the hallway is immediately infront of the upper right exit of the killing floor giving ease of taking retreating enemies. This extensive and all but man, I lack the ability to deal with drop pod raids effectively at all. I usually force them to NOT equip Armour 24/7 and armour takes awhile to equip. I plan to having flak armour (quickest armour to equip) in the middle/most active area so I can immediately get my pawns some armour and if possible, send some other ones to get the heavy armour incase it's serious. My 2 block wide hallway isn't spacious but I have some protruding walls and sandbags occasionally.
you are so funny! :) always enjoy the videos referring to rimworld (700+ hrs played myself) CHAIRS!! GIVE THEM CHAAAIIIRS!! thehehe ... hilarious, really!! thanks for the good laugh.
The best defense is building in the corner between a mountain range and ocean so u only have to fight battles on two fronts, Early Mid game it helps massively against raids if u build a defensive perimeter wall with one open door 13 tiles away from your defensive position to funnel enemies one by one into your chain shotgun pawns

Rampaging elephant is scarier than centipede I think. One elephant is enough to take two centipede down. Give them some love with animal armor mod easy mechanoid fix even better if you have pack of them like 10 of them.
Slap that reset save
Enjoying the content so far 👌🏿
As one layer and still a father kind of guy I do indeed know what you mean
XD hahaha
i Love my OC defense Rifles, can just about kill anything it finds and has extremely good accuracy, very OP other than that i havea long tunnel about 40 tiles long and maybe 10 or so wide with a bunch of turret at the end and all my colonists on the other side waiting for the first enemy raider to enter the tunnel and die, very stupid but it works
12:03 got me 😂😂😂
Well well well, these are some good tips.
Thanks a bunch. The team worked hard
I can tell. Keep up the good work man
thanks mate
Why defend the base when you can equip your colonists with 7 OrbitalBombardment and flattenboth the earth and your enemies :)))
Great information for a newb (me) and very funny. What more could you want?
Idk XD
Boomrats in the walls.
Mining the whole wall would be a bit much. Maybe between the last wall and your base.
But letting Boomrats await a breach in the first wall(s) sounds like !!fun.!!
If I have 4 pawns, who have 1 lmg, 1 auto pistol, one bolt and one revolver and I have no killbox, if say.. a forest fire burned down an ancient danger wall and let out 4 mechanoids, what should i do?
help this really happened to me
if enemy have explose weapon like grenade to destory my wall what can i do? they wont go inside killbox plz give some tip
Ogres have layers... like an onion. i once heard lol
haha funny! XD i will do all! thanks!
Now, this is only a budding plan but I really wonder how this works. This is a wild -plan- delusion from an amateur (tutorial game died and this is my first real game) who has a fantasy for incredibly over engineered defenses, it's a long way down.
The killing floor is wide, really wide. Wide enough for an amateur level shooting pawn to not hit a structure with a mortar.
Mid part:
_The killing floor_
I plan to have roof traps all over the area, slug uranium turrets on the left side and autocannons on the right (entry via north), all turrets measured to be placed in its effective range, mortars raining down into the area (not wide enough an antigrain to be used safely though). Exit points on the upper left and right side (across the field from the "Inner/below"). No floors so nobody gets a nice walking speed buff.
I'm wondering if I should put doors infront of the turrets and open them when the raid comes. I think I should do half-&-half, half of the turrets are open and the other half not.
Inner/below:
_Where my pawns will take position._
Walls and barricades alternate (2 walls and a barricade on either side) shaped into a hemisphere, this in a way allows me to have 2 pawns peaking from the same side of wall with no risk of friendly fire. Doors behind all the cover and a hospital no further than 40 units from it's furthest manned position.
I'm still wondering if I should put small sentries infront of the cover at the cost of my pawns being unable to provide overlapping fire when enemies come too close (walls on the side of it would prevent them from firing from one end of the hemisphere to the other). I also have a tortoise as bait for the raiders.
In the middle and it's lowest point of the hemisphere, the door can be left open and create a melee "killbox". So my pawns can retreat and reposition to the melee killbox.
Upper/Entryway:
_A snaking maze laced with traps and obstacles to slow them down._
I don't plan to lace every single available space with traps due to costs and safety reasons.
The entry point of the maze is a hallway from the right side, completely filled with things to slow them down (I noticed that if these "obstacles" are adjacent to each other, they only slow them down on the entry but then walk at normal speed for any adjacent ones). The entry of the hallway is immediately infront of the upper right exit of the killing floor giving ease of taking retreating enemies.
This extensive and all but man, I lack the ability to deal with drop pod raids effectively at all. I usually force them to NOT equip Armour 24/7 and armour takes awhile to equip.
I plan to having flak armour (quickest armour to equip) in the middle/most active area so I can immediately get my pawns some armour and if possible, send some other ones to get the heavy armour incase it's serious.
My 2 block wide hallway isn't spacious but I have some protruding walls and sandbags occasionally.
you are so funny! :) always enjoy the videos referring to rimworld (700+ hrs played myself)
CHAIRS!! GIVE THEM CHAAAIIIRS!!
thehehe ... hilarious, really!!
thanks for the good laugh.
Im so glad that you enjoy these videos.
Do a tactics video for defense and attacking. My fiancee she needs help
Sure thing friend
First tip: walls
As heard: wealth
Seems legit
Lmao
Im new to this game and you have been so usefull :D how are you not bigger?!?
Working on it. Join the discord to get more tips haha
I'm pretty shoot shooting accuracy is no longer affected by light/darkness
I got mech prodded early on and it had some kinda mortar, so I told them to pick up everything and we left
Fair decision
Nice video
it's not the info... it's the presentation... brilliant.
Embrasures mod, son.
Embrasures mod.
Darkness doesn't affect accuracy anymore.
Is this a reupload? or were those memes put in the video in 2020? from 2008+?
Yes XD
release all se squirrrrrelz!
YES
I've played since 2018 and didn't know that trees can be used as cover
The best defense is building in the corner between a mountain range and ocean so u only have to fight battles on two fronts,
Early Mid game it helps massively against raids if u build a defensive perimeter wall with one open door 13 tiles away from your defensive position to funnel enemies one by one into your chain shotgun pawns
Your usage of memes is impeccable
Or just use Turtle Friendly Raids mod
XD
Video would be more useful if it showed more game play instead of the constant clip art editing.
Unless you got CE in wich case a single pkm will shred anybody and incendiary mortars are nukes
stonehearth... oh stonehearth
Rip that game
