- So effectively you get an isolated map, safe from attack. Limited soil but that is manageable with hydroponics and the mineral scanner. Power is a bit trickier, no geothermal, no hydro, no wind. Might be an idea to bring a few unstable power cells to jumpstart the map. Tox gens could work if you bring a few polux seeds. As a challenge I can see it being a fun way to play.

Learning Threshold for Learning Job Fix (1.4 only, works in 1.5 so far for me)
also a note, the eating without table and sleeping on the ground debuffs were disabled by the pain is virtue meme
here to comment this.
Living rough is legit good no comfort to worry about less worries about temp and such, kinda at odds with the luxury that is often demanded by transhumanist meme
Yeah, I definitely had my colonists complaining about sleeping on the floor / eating without tables when I saw this event earlier.
wait.. i have a table and a bed but i like to eat and sleep at floor...hmmm
it's kind of weird that they still don't show up on the list, though. For example, wearing tainted clothes shows up with a zero for Pechet because it's normally a debuff, but doesn't count because she's got bloodlust. I would imagine the same should show up for the tableless-eating & ground-sleeping, where they're on the list but listed as 0 because of the ideology.
Tynan implementing a horror themed parallel univererse labyrinth.
Francis turining it into a convenient toxic waste dump/colony resort.
Creativity is king I guess.
It's impossible to plan balance for Francis. XD
I just want to know if you can toss items into the endless pits.
Ever heard of the backrooms? Its a haunted endless parallel universe labyrinth.
When it was found they thought they could use it for real estate.
“That is what happens when you let the Internet raise your child: you get a psychopath”
Francis John, 2024.
I always setup a "table trap" in my colonies to deal with food binges. Basically, I mostly surround a table with wall with only a one tile gap. In that gap, I put a wooden wall blueprint which I presupply and then I forbid. When a pawn has a food binge, they grab a meal and then go sit at the table to eat it, so I can just ask another pawn to finish the wall to lock them in. After that, I just have to wait for the mental break to get resolved of its own. It also works with alcohol and psychite binges if you keep beer and psychite tea close by.
The Cask of Amontillado?
Petition for all ghouls across all series from here out to be named Dumbshit. It just feel so iconic at this point.
Only three luciferium left at the end of the episode. Time for ancient danger diving.
Six, three on him and three in storage.
Also, silly decision not to buy any from that exotic goods trader; they had 37 of them.
To be fair, he had other things on his mind. "not enough steel" "why no steel" " I need to get a mechinator going".
Francis, you exploring how to creatively explore the game's systems and design is not a sidetrack - it's WHY we watch your videos!
What's super interesting is that it's actually possible to set up a colony inside the labyrinth and even send off a spaceship. (you also do not get raided inside)
32:52 FJ "oh, plese be something on the oposite side of this door.."
I just imagined Randy choking on his wine, spiting and coughing, and leaning forward on the command chair: "oh, Francis, my dear. you are ON!!"
Peshet looked at her little boy with pride. He knew that she might not come back from this rescue mission, but he didn't fuss, didn't cry. Instead, he seemed to become more and more like Smerk every day. She wasn't sure she liked that, because in her opinion, Smerk was an idiot who needed to be punched in the face from time to time, but on the other hand ... the times they lived in, caring too much got you killed. She knew that Smerk put people into two categories: useful and ... well, not useful. If you were in the useful category, great. He was actually quite loyal to those few who made it. If you were not ... well, sucked to be you. And little Burc had started copying that of late. She gave her son a hug and said: "See you later."
Burc grinned and answered: "Have fun killing things, mom."
He knew her so well. She was really looking forward to this little adventure. She wished she could share it with him, but he was still a little young for that. But she genuinely liked the person he was shaping up to be. Although sometimes she wished he wouldn't grow up so fast. She sighed. Already, she had gone from being "mommy" to being just "mom" and she wasn't sure she liked that. With a last look at her precious boy, she touched the obelisk and everything around her warped out of existence.
Leave it to Francis to turn a labyrinth full of horrors into the perfect gated community.
I am impressed with the dedication you have to sound leveling in your edits. Most UA-camrs don't bother and have music at twice the levels of recorded speech. This does wonders for not waking people up with music that is overly loud. You are definitely one of my favorite subscribed channels.
Rough living from your ideology is what's disabling all those mood penalties for eating without table, sleeping on floor etc.
So, I lost my best pawn to this:
The Fleshbeasts are carriers of Metalhorrors.
Nomad Gunslinger got hit a few times in the dungeon.
I'd give them another surgery.
Might not detect it if it's a different strain?
Adaptation factor isn't how long the game has gone, it is a counter of how well you have dealt with previous raids. Basically, every time an event happens and your colony doesn't take any damage it increases by a bit. That being said, there's a strat of using a wimp pawn to get downed repeatedly in order to get that number lower.
In a colony full of psychopaths, that delicate pawn would be in an almost permanently downed state, due to always losing the social fights, I'm surprised FJ hasn't cottoned on already, but, give it time.
Personally, I'd prefer a pawn with either the Wimp trait or the Extra Pain gene, so that, while they might be easier to down, they wouldn't be as likely to die from their injuries.
That seems pretty antithetical to having the game at 500% in the first place. Might as well just lower the difficulty if youre going to game it like that.
I think I got my traits confused, the actual trait is wimp.
I avoid downing or hiring pawns to sacrifice so Randy will go easy on me. If Randy wants to kill or down one of my pawns he can try and do it himself.
Francis, no worries about using your time to do the labyrinth experiments. I had a couple of questions you didn't address in your experiments:
1. Can you put a stockpile zone over the bottomless pits? If so, do things in the stockpile disappear?
2. What happens if a pawn goes on a bottomless pit tile?
You can't put a stockpile over the bottomless pit.
You can't seem to interact with the bottomless pits at all.
“HOW!?! Oh. Yeah. Give them a religious beat down; that’s fine” - FJ. I totally agree.
Francis, discovering the Warped Obelisk space: "I can Colonise you!"
Smerk: Happy birthday! Thanks for the birthday present. You're now 16 years older.
Rennie: Wait! You're supposed to give me a birthday present! Like my freedom! And I'm only supposed to be 1 year older!
Smerk: Oh, that's not it works in this colony. See, anyone we keep here as a prisoner gives us the gift of eternal youth. At the cost your inevitable death.
1:13:06 "Dumbshit is on the way" ...
That just never gest old 😆😅🤣😂
It's so fascinating to see different folks take on things; one of my favourite wealth reductions are the Polux seeds, because they let you set up a pollution dump that needs zero thought.
So this is the episode that Francis turned into Vault-tec.... Seems on point.
When you get more into anomaly stuff there is a great way to get rid of all your toxic waste so a mechanitor and toxifier generators will become really good if you do that.
The colony gathered to build their graceful lanterns, launch them and watch them soar ethereally over the field of dead and undead enemies, reflecting a gentle glow on the pools of blood and glistening piles of entrails. With happy sighs, they went in to bed, to sleep and dream of the joyous occasion. "We're so lucky to live here!" Warmachine said to Burc, and Burc nodded emphatically in agreement.
1:08:54 I love how francis is still not over the duck eggs in the sea ice incident
“Aaaannnddd your birthday is today, happy birthday.” Brutal
The idea of stumbling around a disturbing and creepy labyrinth only to suddenly come across 2 camels is hilarious.
Most horror games: strange syringe and a lung harvested.. what sort of monstrosities lay dormant in the depths.
Francis playing rimworld.. ooh a lung *puts in pocket*
Love that war machine is getting thematic upgrades
For Ghouls, don't give them any extra weapons other than a power claw. Just one power claw then replace their other hand with a wooden hand. That leaves them with 1 attack option and it is the highest dps weapon they can use. Unless they have a flesh whip which is slightly lower dps but way higher AP. Give them barbs for the 50% melee damage boost. If you are wondering about the wooden hand, they will not attack with it so it removes it from being an attack option.
“Very suspicious they’ve got a lung down here but I’m not going to question it”. 😂
31:14 god damn that jump scared me a little 😂
There is a mod called Optimization:meats that turns all normal meats in the game into just raw meat, meaning that they stack together and you don't have a dozen of differently named ones that are essentially the same. It can be added with an existing save
Twisted, human and insect meat are the same as before
BTW Francis, since mood seems to be a recurring hurdle you have to keep jumping over. Now that you've moved into sustainable moderate expectations, you should probably consider:
* Separate bedrooms to eliminate the constant disturbed sleep debuff everyone keeps getting in the barracks
* Some comfy chairs for long use work stations
* Not to mention staying on top of clothing condition/durability to keep the tattered/ratty clothing debuff cleared.
Eh, making separate bedrooms would ramp up colony wealth even more, and distributed sleep stacks only 3 times.
If this colony did not have pain is virtue, it would be nice addition that would make mood a bit higher, but this meme disables comfort, making suggestion moot
FYI comfy chairs don't work with his ideoligion
"Needs must" is a very convenient phrase when you are the devil that is doing the driving.
FJ, thanks for the labyrinth debug research. As soon as you were down there I started asking questions about living there, most of which you covered in the video. Much appreciated!
Just a note Francis, if your sick and tired of those dark ritualist's setting up a circle and preforming a ritual, right at the borders of your map. And you don't always have someone to take out the caster preforming the ritual. You can always build some wall barriers around the very edges of your map (maybe even a even leaving a trap or two) which forces the caster to find more suitable open space to preform the ritual, leaving the majority of the attendee's of the ritual to stay where they entered the map from, but while the caster roams the map being a lot less unguarded. (and occasionally sometimes the caster can get stuck, path-finding and the ritual will never start)
Thanks for the vid, as always
Hope your having fun in these dark times
You can make void statues out of bioferrite to further improve ritual quality. Also, you should really look into bioferrite weaponry and just generally its properties as a material (to be clear, I mean bioferrite versions of the "standard" weapons. I'm not talking about the special bioferrite guns. If what I read is correct, a bioferrite longsword can beat out a [non-persona] monosword)
Bioferrite flooring for the containment room also helps.
Also, when you were first bringing wastepacks into the labyrinth, I thought you were testing if you could get a wastepack infestation there.
Bioferrite walls, too!
I was freezing my dead ghouls thinking they couldn’t be resurrected if they rotted! This makes things easier!!
After naming Temp, I've come to the realization that you're running a dark circus.
>encounters endless grey limbo
>immediately tests for exploits
that's why I'm here.
If You need a safe tile to play with, wait for a worshipful village quest from relic hunting, clear it from enemies and DO NOT hack terminal there. Until hacked (or settled), the only events possible there will be eclipse and center map bug infestation. Also if You normally go to that tile by caravan, it will be genereted small. But if you use imperial shuttle instead, map will be genereted with normal size, geotermal and other stuff included. (Tested on 1.4)
I love seeing FJ play with a new toy.
Only you would consider locking a colony in a dimensional void plane and calling it a form of paradise. This is the train of thought I come for!
it's the flesh whip that counts as an augment
Void fascination sucks, it's like Gourmand in that they will randomly mental break and release an entity even at high moral.
Transmute steel is nice, I never smelt down steel slag and instead turn it into plasteel, gold, uranium, bioferrite or twisted meat, so so good :D
You can construct large nature shrines to transmute more steel per day, at the cost of deconstruction.
I laughed at the dromedary
At about 36:50, when the strange teenager joins. I thought for a moment that “always tasty” was going to be a new trait for pawns 😅
Building a colony in that place does seem interesting
40:03 the pronunciation on the second time was better 😂 it’s Vitály (accent on the a). Was funny to see a pawn with this name 😅
Leave it to Francis to figure out a way to "launder" tainted gear...
You have spooky labyrinth, we have toxic waste that we need to dump. It's perfect :)
Also, a ghoul with a fluffy tail is kinda cute.
There's a setting you can change that doesn't cause enemy pawns to instantly die most of the time they are knocked down.
ah sweet new Don't Trust Me just dropped
15:36 We've jumped movies, now it's "Cube"
You forgot about Farskip. It might be the way to live in the labyrinth
A small low expectation colonist on the surface and a massive Labyrinthian civilization. But you might want to check if there's an inhuman raid there
You can build transport pods in the labyrinth but you can't load them. You can't use farskip while in the labyrinth to get in or out.
@@FrancisJohnYT ah, a new test case being done, eh? Will it be in the next vid?
The flesh tentacles and what not do count for transhuman/body modder bonus, and those pawns won't get the mood penalty from them. That obelisk makes TH ideos a bit easier
"Aaand... a lung... Suspicious, very suspicious"
And the three human skulls weren't?
***
Give Warmachine a (legendary) bioferrite sword. Anything made with bioferrite has a semi-hidden psysensitivity bonus (which scales with quality, you can check it in the pawn info menu). In addition Bioferrite has a sharp-damage bonus that almost matches plasteel and a penetration bonus that exceed anything else your can get from a craftable material. You can then add bioferrite plate armor and flak helmet for even more psy-bonus.
***
I do feel like anomoly content gets a bit overtuned for the threats as you gain more wealth
***
Adaption factor is *not* how much time has passed in game, it's how much time since you had a major set back (like a pawn dying)
***
I can't wait until you get 'The Pit'
Burc, take these Lavish meals and run!
14 lavish meals, lol. Both infuriating and impressive.
Also, in full support of making Warmachine into another Lunk.
You could also send up a lot of your colony until you get a single or very few colonists, send enough steel to set up hydroponics and biofuel refining, a vanometric cell, etc., create essentially an infinite research dimension or child rearing area. You'll likely get tons of free colonists in your actual colony, but you'd just need to keep wealth down and maybe cannibal/nutrient paste with traps. Send every new person to the maze and either take off into space or reappear ready to demolish the void
I love the idea of you setting up a colony in Ate Without a Table Land. Please do. Please. Then Return and Conquer the World
10:53 _humanity restored_
Put a door between hospital and ritual room, so your pawns don't have to stand about for so long after a scarification.
Just wanted to say: If you build a colony down there, you’ll essentially be Vault-Tec. That’s a new kind of evil, even for a rimworld series…
Trees to build a horseshoe pin and fire, camels to eat, bodies with meals and a free bedroll. Sounds like a vacation for a typical rim worlder.
Impossible to eat 14 lavish meals. Challenge accepted!
Eating all the lavish meals from a mental break? Thats just efficient wealth dump
You playing around with the labyrinth is the type of content I subscribed for!
Wait, if you use Chronophagy with Dumbsh*t 2/"Dumbsh*t Fluff" as the target, can you make them an adult to up their body part health?
I was wondering this as well but brain damage....
Wouldnt a ghoul heal te brain scar?
@@sunshaker01 Yeah, I could see that affecting melee and healing. Other things too, I assume. Hmm. I don't know the percentages on brain damage and scarring, but I wonder if it would still be worth it given it's low enough.
@@gustavogiorno3122That might be the secret to this! Good catch.
Ghouls aren’t able to do most things so it’s highly questionable if they can be the target
21:06 You could chopped these trees to build a bed
A horrifying backrooms labyrinth of eldritch horror...
Francis: Oh no.... anyways lets build a colony in there...
never change.... :D
regarding the age sucking: take vampire prisoner... they won't die so quickly of old age or scarring.....
"The center is where all the good stuff is."
It's also where all the bad stuff is too.
3:07 - 3:12 That sounds awfully familiar. Wait that's the current education system worldwide.
Transmute Steel is nice. I've seen it turn steel into an equivalent amount of Plasteel, Uranium, or Twisted Meat. As for your testing with the Labyrinth, I think you'll appreciate the Pit Gate when it shows up. It may be what you are looking for...
Pinhead is not amused and is calling the home owners association to report illegal dumping... lol! Nice.
Make your containment walls out of the bioferite. I am fairly sure it is the best containment material... I'm pretty sure floors help too, but I could be wrong about that one.
Wasn't the Lunk line the farmers from the last season? Randy knows, everything is as it should be.
btw they implemented a new search funtion in 1.5 to search the map for a specific entety/item/pawn press z/y to activate it.
In another universe, Francis here is a prime candidate for the SCP Foundation lol
Next time chunk skip pops up, get it because you can call the slag chunks to your base like you did on the sea ice :) And I agree that the egg destroying colonist deserved the fate of Worg Meat and Hats
Also 1:12:12 The Rare Thrumbo Steak serving suggestion is excellent :) Peak rimworld humor 10/10 joke
- Is it viable to use a bloodpack prisoner as a target for chronophagy, drain bloodpacks from them and stick them in a biosculpture pod while they regenerate blood? Because the main downside of biosculpture pods is that they take ages to work, creating downtime for otherwise useful pawns, but if they're just a bloodpack prisoner then there may not be any downside (other than energy and crafting materials).
- Also can you chronophage a ghoul (so they are over 18) and does unnatural regen (or ghoul regen serum) heal brain damage?
- Trust Francis to look at a hellish pocket dimension and think "it's free real estate". Also what does it say about Rimworld when a hellish pocket dimension is arguably a safer place to live.
- If Warmachine is a waster, would it be worth having some tox gas grenades to intentionally expose him before a fight?
- Are there other enhancements for ghouls (I think it said you can give them an adrenal heart)? I'm curious what genes, traits and bionics improve ghouls, and if melee skill matters.
- You could clear out those corpses, but I think it said that if YOU use deadlife dust the shamblers are neutral to you. One option is move them to a location with a roof, then use deadlife dust and let them out. I'm not sure if you can kite them in some way or use them as part of your killbox.
Essentially, the meta for ghouls is a tough/robust one with a metal heart and fully defensed out to tank (I need to know if stoneskin is allowed with ghoul plating...) and nimble makes them insane, then adrenal heart with spikes and increased damage in every way via tentacles, spikes, fangs and knee spikes so that one tanks and then the others are maximum damage dealers since they can exceed 25 dps in melee if kitted properly
omg you could turn that into a secret lab where you raise super soldiers and do all kinds of secret lair stuff, like prisoner experiments and horrible weapons RnD.
just have a crew down there including the kids where they can never ever get attacked and do some thematic horror stuff
Getting new colonists in that weird place wouldn't be that much for you. You could just make babies.
Debug: You also have the Pigskin (piglin) to convert steel to other things in the Obelisk!
Permanent Labyrinth run please! There's def minotaur genotype mods. You could make it a self-sufficient paradise
A base inside the labyrinth is cool, but consider a base inside a pit gate. Almost no events can happen in those, so you are safe from pretty much everything
Once the kids are aged up to 13, you could use an intentionally poor chronophagy ritual to put them into their early 20s so that they can perform tasks at max speed, and then keep deaging all of the other colonists to keep them in their primes. There's something hilarious about the idea of being the same age as your parents. I also love the idea of transferring melee skills into each pawn and giving them all elbow blades or powerclaws or whatever so that they can kill anything that gets too close to them without having to call one of the Dumbshits. If you threw a death refusal into every pawn too, then you would have a functionally immortal colony with a cheap way to repair lost limbs and non aesthetic scars (e.g., murder.).
+my highlight of the day francis on rimworld or ONI
I wonder... Could you have taken the Gray Statue with you? Could have planted it in your Kill Box to work as a zombie farm. They would soften up anyone who comes though. Maybe?!
Couldn't you pick up your meals with another colonist if someone goes on a food binge?
Oh.... yeah that's a good idea. Stick them in a transport pod or create a caravan. Really should have thought about that more.
a tip: I got the cloning obelisk event to happen on my own colony a while back. It cloned my best pawn, one of the starters who was a sanguophage. ( my poor attempt at having a poshet) and are like BFFs now, even the Og pawn's kid likes the clone. the only con to this clone so far was bad organs that were very easy to replace, I nicked name her Franksnow since the Og pawn was named Frost
"Mom, is that your twin?"
"no Astro, that's my clone. she's adopted."
"Score! Bonus mom for the price of some organs!"
for the hauling, maybe start that mechanator with a ton of hauler bots?
make a bioferrite sword, it has a multiplier (not additive) to psy sensitivity. Psy hyper + bioferrite -> 200+ psy sensitivity
After you attune the monolith there's another event with a convenient potential base/toxic waste dump location (no need for grenades). it's much easier, and more convenient (you can get your lifter mechs or people to auto-dump waste while it's present! (it works similarly to loading drop pods or a caravan, with no cooldown)). There's even a ritual to summon it and it's a good source of shards!
Edit: Also, I'm pretty sure the eating without a table and all that is due to your ideology, no? doesn't rough living negate those thoughts?
Your right the pain meme gets rid on slept on the floor. Makes long explorations a lot easier.
Slaves never try to rebel if they don't have a walking path to the edge of the map. The slave tap still shows a mtb for rebellion, but it's a lie, you can't even trigger a rebellion in dev mode. A labyrinth colony seams like a great place to send slaves to. I wonder if you can farskip from the labyrinth to your colony. Also, can you install a com's consol and call in "reinforcement" as a source of nutrition?
Coms console in the labyrinth can only call mechinator quest enemies. If you call allies you can't request anything, most likely as their is no entrance.
You can't farskip to the labyrinth either, no way to select the tile.
Figures that Francis would try to turn the Backrooms into a remote colony and/or a toxic wastepack landfill.😄
Wait... you had a guy named Victor make your resurrection serum? That's probably fine, hopefully this relationship will result in fewer revenge murders than the last time this happened.
That undead defense force does make one wonder what a map full of bodies and a reanimation storm would do. 🤔 Why clean up when you can ride the tiger?
Little late, but I'm pretty sure Smerk is getting his transhumanist fix from that flesh whip/tentacle he has. Just a guess, given that's not standard human physiology. At least, I hope you don't have a tentacle to make you think it's perfectly normal.
Use the chronophagy backwards to age up your ghoul past 18. That will fix the max health cap maybe
Most pawns can 'live' up to 120-ish, throw a bionic heart to prevent heart attacks and you got the most morally bankrupt bloodbag possible! Old Pee-Paws finely aged Blood, keeping colonies going since 5501!
