  • Make sure to read the comments from other players for more ideas on planning your base!
    Are you tired of having your bases look like crap? Do you regret putting your fridge 500 meters from your kitchen? Why aren’t you colonists eating in your beautifully decorated dining room? Do you hate having to rebuild your entire base after 5 ingame years, wasting valuable resources?
    If so, you’re in luck! Watch this video for a detailed tutorial on how to plan your RimWorld bases with efficiency (and looks!) in mind. You’ll be able to plan out satisfying and beautiful bases, right from the beginning of the game!
    The tutorial follows a series of steps that will allow your base to grow in a smart, efficient way:
    Step 1: Defenses (determines entire space)
    Step 2: Farm (crucial for the rest of the buildings to fall into place)
    Steps 3 and 4: Kitchen and Freezer (determined by where the farm is)
    Step 5: Dining room (determined by where the freezer is)
    Step 6: Bedrooms (determined by where the dining room is)
    After bedrooms, fill in the rest of the spots with the following buildings: Rec room, Hospital, Stockpile, Crafting room, Research lab, and Prison.
    Finally, the end of the tutorial introduces a setup for power.
    Also included are a few PROTIPS for a better RimWorld experience!
    Protip #1: Use “Toggle Visibility of Roofs” to see what mountains you can mine down.
    Protip #2: Plant a farm around steam geysers.
    Protip #3: Use your rec room for your Hospitality guest rooms.
    Protip #4: Put a Nutrient Paste Dispenser between your freezer and the prison.
    Plus a lot more RimWorld tips and tricks to help you out!

    19:53 When settling in biomes with temperature extremes, sharing heat between multiple vents doesn't work so well since each vent reduces heat transfer. What I do is create a one-tile-wide hallway that connects to all the room (could even be a service-hallway behind the bedrooms in this case) where you place all your heaters / coolers, and finally a vent between that hallway and each room. That way, the heat / cold only has to travel between one vent from the hallway -> each bedroom, maximizing temperature dispersion.

    One of my favorite Game-Overs was when my colony got wiped out by a pack of man hunting turkeys. I was very new at the game and I didn't know entire packs of animals could become hostile. I just finished my first in-game year and had about 8 colonist, which was a big achieve for me back then lol. We were low on food leaving the winter so I had my best marksmen go out for a hunt. They had a few good kills, a turtle here, a rat there, bit nothing good enough to feed 8. I saw a lone mufflio all on its lonesome. I tasked them to attack simultaneously. However, as soon as my boys got to the muff a pack of man hunting turkeys wanted the map on the same side my guys were located. I remember there being at least 10. It caught me off guard and before I knew it: my hunters were slaughtered, my base entrance broken into, and the rest of my colonist quickly overpowered...there, the kingdom of zula fell.😟

    pro tips: combine your rec room and dining room. You're already putting them next to each other for good reasons, and combining them lets them share size and beauty, making both more impressive.

    Ultra-pro tip: Wind turbines are like impassable walls you can shoot through ! They are a huge exploit against manhunting events because animals (not insects) will never target them. They are also a good way to ambush snipers at the back of the raid with fast firing weapons once while the front line of the attack is distracted by your turrets.

    I love this! For some reason I'd never considered having outdoor hallways between buildings, but thinking about it that would make it so much easier to make the base look pretty. I have a list of things to consider when making my bases but the order you've done it in here makes so much more sense than how I normally do it. Learning about that trick with the medical beds is really cool too, and also putting small rooms for guests off of the rec room is something I will definitely be doing in the future.
    I don't know if you've ever considered this, but I normally put my research benches in the medical room. That way colonists who are stuck in the medical beds can get their rec need up by talking to the researcher. I then only need to put sterile tiles in one room. In addition to this, I like having my researcher be my doctor so that when a raid occurs, if I don't draft them, they'll stay at the research bench and avoid getting injured and will also be immediately available if I get an injured colonist.

      Another room that benefits from sterile tiles is the kitchen, so you can have the cook and the scientist chat. But using the hospital is a good idea because the hospital is probably not used that much at times.
      One tip I have is to make sure that your pawns have cleaning on high priority, a filthy base means a lot of problems. (But that is outside of base planning).

    Never forget an animal and kibble room, along with a grazing field, those can be very helpful for people who use animals to help with melee defense on raids (Like me). Even a single wolf or dog or big cat or something following each colonist can save them from manhunting squirrels. Use the grazing fields for farm animals like muffalo and chickens, which can help with getting meat (animal products) without hunting for meals. Although in my case, I end up having almost all my animals trained for battle, and just melee the raiders down with my hordes of 20+ animals.

    I just recently started playing, and the first thing I started doing with my base planning was planning my initial grow areas around the sunlamp radius, and organizing my pawns' bedrooms, including the prison and hospital rooms. So, my early bases always start out with 2-4 circular farm buildings, unroofed until I can afford sunlamps, and some arrangement of 7x7 bedroom units - enough for my pawns, and one for prisoners and one for medical. I'm still really bad at planning my storage zones and kill areas, though.

  • @lsswappedcessna
    @lsswappedcessna 3 роки тому +5

    (warning: long post about my own base design)
    As for how I design my bases, I start in Mountainous locations as they are very easily defensible and have tons of resources from the start. Generally I start off with making a house, dining room, recreational room, power generation (wood burning generators are great for reliable power starting off, as long as you're somewhere with lotsa trees) and laboratory. I get some crops going and start trying to tame animals when I have food to spare, and have people start digging out into a mountain for a highly defensible, drop-proof base. I vastly prefer dealing with infestations than having raiders drop in and kill multiple colonists by landing directly on them.
    Usually once I've dug into my mountain, I'll begin setting it up with a main hub towards the front of the base, that leads off into three main areas. The first main area is Housing, which includes bedrooms, recreation, and the research lab(s). Second is the Industry area, which includes Storage, Manufacturing, and a Rimatomics reactor room and reactor control room. Finally is the Growing area, which includes Hydroponics, a Brewery, Drug Production, Kitchen/Freezer (the kitchen is usually in an airlock) and Dining Room. The Freezer vents into the main hallway of the Growing area or outside if it's close to an outside wall of the mountain.
    Once the basics have been setup inside the mountain, I demolish the exterior structures and expand my walls to take around half of the map. I leave half of the map not walled in to allow a bit of a buffer zone between my walls and the enemies, so mortars maintain effectiveness (I have a mod that makes mortars not total crap) while not shredding my killhalls to bits. About the killhalls, I usually fill them with sandbags and steel spike traps. which are usually enough to take out most of the enemies leaving heavier enemies like centipedes or power armor pirates without the necessary damage they need to take out my colonists effectively. Add art and other decoration and generally it's finished, until I add an extra colonist. Then the Housing area gets dug out further.
    Because Rimatomics reactors generate so much energy, I can put turrets inside my base to help out with infestations, and oh my, are some of the rimatomics turrets overpowered against bugs (at least IIRC you can put some of them indoors. I remember shooting bugs with them but that could be from an infestation from a quarry across the map) Really they're OP against everything, but ESPECIALLY bugs.

    • @adronius147
      @adronius147 2 роки тому

      I realize this comment is a year old, but honestly with dubs bad hygiene a public shed placed near the living areas with a stalled off latrine and a well are perfectly adequate. The sludge from the latrine makes for a _very efficient_ chemfuel source once you got biofuel refining. When you've got the resources though and have researched water filtration, you could build shower stalls as well, as being completely clean comes with a mood buff.
      Prison commons is a very nice mod for a public prison bathroom as well, and for those you literally don't need more than a latrine and a well, or sink if your prison doesn't have convenient underground water zones.

  • @AstartesGaming
    @AstartesGaming 3 роки тому +3

    Had this pop up in my recommended and loving it so far. However, a nitpick I had would be: for outer walls, 2 tiles thick is the optimal depth. This is because when calculating temperature transfer, the game considers the middle wall(s) in a 3+ thickness wall to be interior space. Essentially you're only getting the insulation of a two individual single-thick walls.
