there any new kill box specially i running CE
Perfect guide. Straight to the point, easy to understand, well structured and even with timestamps for people only looking for certain topics. 10/10
exactly what i thought straight to the point lol
couldnt have said it better.
900 hours in this game and just learned right now about the quirks of handling drafted colonists. Thank you!
Well, that's perfect. Clear, concise, well timestamped, with a written version and all. The date and version is the icing on the cake.
The tittle of all Adam videos should be "It depends: 'Put you tittle here' ". Rimworld is such a complex game that I would not be able to explain almost anything without the help of one of Adam's videos.
Yes my brother, perfect to send to people having issues with combat. As I was watching I was like hmm forgot about abilities like psycast, and calling in alies. But then at the end you're all like "advanced guide coming soon" 😂
Perhaps something that'd help others is also "base defence video" which differs slightly from combat. Love your stuff AvsE and team 👌
As always Adam fantastic guide. Player with over 1k hours here and while I might not always learn something new at this point, I often am reminded of something that took me near the 1k to learn about the hard way so I always love to watch your guides. Looking forward to the advanced guide.
Player with 1,6k hours here too, I did actually learn something… I think. 🤔 But agreed, great guide!
I always appreciate your guides and insight. I learn so much every time I catch a stream. I have to say when I first got Rimworld, I nearly wrote it off until I found your channel. I learned so much from watching your playthrus and the fact that when I did catch you live, no question was "dumb" or too beginner to be asked and if you caught the question you would answer it and many others. I found it so helpful. I still learn a lot from watching you to this day. I swear I never would have made it to space without finding your channel!
Keep up the great content! I am a bit behind on watching your longer streams from the archives channel, but I really enjoy the edited version that you have been doing this year. I think it makes your content more approachable for me sometimes when I only have 30 minutes, a lot gets crammed into it and I can go back and watch the longer format when I have the time or move on.
Thanks for all your knowledge and being willing to teach that knowledge to us. It is now my favourite game, because you took the time to help break down some of the mechanics that always wiped my playthrus.
Cheers!
I needed this but didn't know how much I needed it!! Very helpful and informative
Great vid as usual Adam keep up the great content!
excellent no filler, pure content. thanks for all the examples. must have taken a week to make
Awesome! Very excited for future guides like this
Love your videos. Don't need these guides but I will leave a comment to support this content regardless
Great guide! Definitely learned a few things.
Adam ... creates a guide (legendary)
excellent guide, combat is definitely one of the areas i struggle most in, especially since i've been trying to use more no-killbox setups and losing a lot of runs in the process :(
damn bro fuck those go juice crackheads that killed my doggo ;(
Love these guides!
Thanks for the basic intro. So many mechanics that are hard to parse apart
God that was some intense 10min!
One of the best Rimworld guides I've ever seen. Been playing since 2014 and I learned things. One thing I'd like to see touched on - a "recent" patch seems to have changed something about collision for enemies. I've had stacks of enemies blowing through my melee blockers instead of fighting one at a time like I expected. It even happens sometimes when I had a turret or pawn in their path that I thought would have activated their collision. If you can clear this up I'd be grateful.
I believe an enemy getting set on fire (like from a plasma sword) removes their collision and it lets other enemies through their collision, but I'm not entirely sure. Had this issue when I had one of my melee pawns wielding a plasma sword and accidentally let an entire manhunter pack through my melee block, destroying my run lol
The most common problem is having a pathable turret. If you have any pathable turrets at all many enemies can still ignore collision. In addition, sappers, breachers and summoned boss mech raids ignore collision regardless.
Great guide as always. Super informative.
Very in-depth man thank you
thanks helped alot. I didnt know a few things you mentioned.
Basically the best, easiest guide for this that I've seen. Well done!
thank you, adam! Its lovely to always learn new stuff after more than 1000 hours on rimworld.
This was great. I learned something after watching so many hours already.
Been waiting for this one!
Amazing guide! Even tho I have about 1300 hours in the game (I don't know what grass is) I could still learn a bit. Ambush tactics are quite interesting and these hallway defenses are nice!
Great, I learned something new about mechanics of pathing.
Absolutely love these guides. Even with over 1000 hours I'm still learning new little details
Great guide!
Wohhh this is awesome thanks man this game was kicking my behind
I love the mod "run and gun" makes it more dynamic
Thank you for actually putting the year and version number in the title of your vid. Searching for help on this game constantly, i can't tell you how many threads are from something like 2017 ~ 2019 and you have no idea if this is trustworthy. That and the modding anarchy are serious drawbacks impeding us knowledgephiles.
Other Rim guides are bland sparkling wine - Adam’s are champagne.
Awesome! Super concise, and there's a lot of new details that I didn't know about despite having played a lot.
Excellent guide, looking forward to the mini-guides that are upcoming. Take care man.
Excellent guide as usual, I learn something new every time I watch one.
Great video! Some tips are super useful.
Collision, such a beautiful name for a dog
super comprehensive and absolutely love the accessibility touches such as the use of timestamps and including a written version of the guide as well! Love your work ❤
Love your videos, especially the guides, they are well crafted and easy to understand.
Thank you, Adam.
Another amazing guide, as always! It was really cool to see so many combat strategies that i’ve seen adam use in various runs all in one video :)
Thank you for making this! I wish they would add more combat information into the game tutorial.
Great job, thanks for sharing
Even with 1000+ h in Rim it's still an interesting video to watch. 11/10. Thank you!
Thanks for the guide!
Great guide as always! Thanks Adam
I almost have 1000 hours in this game and this still taught me stuff. :|
Can't wait for that advanced combat tactics video :)
your mastery of the game is incredible
Great guide, thank you!
Great stuff Adam, love it!
Really good guide!
Thanks Adam! :)
Nice guide for everyone 👍
yes! thank you!
Wow, this is a really great guide.
Thanks for the guide! I had no idea walls provided so much more cover than sandbags, this should help my defense against raids a fair bit since I can position better
The interesting thing is that clothing does not protect vs cutting's bleed effect. For example the arm or leg is protected by the devilstrand pants, but when cut with a sword it results in bleed effect. The awesome thing about armor like the recon is it protects vs bleed and turns the dmg limb in to a bruze and not a cut. That is valuable in playing against manny raids that randy can throw at you.
Makes sense. It's perfectly possible to take a deep wound through clothing and not realize. I know: It's happened to me. Still have the scar on my leg. Was carrying some trash out. Must have slashed it on something. Didn't really feel it. Had to get stitches.
superb video
Really helpful!
Thanks for another useful guide, Adam.
Thank you I appreciate this
awesome guide!
Top notch guide as usual!
Thank you for yet another Awesome vid Adam
Thanks for watching!
Really good!
"The game doesn't do well to teacher you" it's a couple minute tutorial it doesn't teach you anything except build and move the rest you gotta learn. This helps a ton thank you!
Really like your guides ❤
love this guide
great guide! congrats!
Thanks!
Thanks a ton, Matthew! Glad you like the guide.
Practical, informative, and succinct,
Fantastic. Thanks highly.
My pleasure! More on the way, as always.
Great stuff!
Sweet awesome guide!
i really needed this. im late game and have best armors etc and got rolled on by the tribals lol..... admit was 50 vs my 8 but still. i was decked to the 9s i thought. this video really helped show where i went wrong. wrong weapons, for half my crew.... and i can stack my crew up tighter i didmnt know they wouldnt hit one another if they were stacked close enough.
At the Weapon Selection part all i could hear is Adam saying "it depends" lol
Hopefully we get around to doing a guide on precisely what it depends on :)
Thank you
Couple of notes regarding combat. Specifically on skills.
Desirable traits for combat pawns (as in pawns you intend to be your main fighters, preferably with passions in ranged or melee):
Tough - it is a straight damage reduction
All sorts of mood buff and break threshold reduction traits, such as sanguine and steadfast
Psychopath for that sweet lack of reaction to all the death around
Masochist - for pain resistance and mood boost from pain
Nimble - good when in melee and good when kiting around traps
Careful shooter vs trigger happy:
There the thing, it is not as clear cut as it seems. The general consensus appears to be that the Trigger-Happy is a general improvement over Careful Shooter, unless you have very low level pawns.
Basically - unless you are using shotguns, careful shooter will outperform trigger happy on all weapons until something around level 15 of shooting.
After that, trigger-happy becomes better on your standard weapons with ranges of 25-31 or lower. From this point on, Careful Shooter becomes a hindrance on at lower ranges.
There is another problem with careful shooter - longer aim time means enemy you aim at my die by the time the pawn finishes aiming, lowering the effective dps further.
Another thing is Shooting Specialist bonus and artificial eyes. These two combined further lower the negative accuracy of trigger-happy, while Shooting Specialist further improves the bonus.
I don't think anyone did a proper testing for it, or at least didn't post it. But I wonder how does these two skills fare against enemies at various maximum ranges - I'm especially interested in weapons such as assault rifles, charge rifles, charge lances, bolt action and sniper rifles - especially against enemies in cover.
Another thing is melee.
Brawler is generally not worth it as a trait - you get a fairly substantial debuff to mood if you use anything other than melee weapon, while having a fairly insubstantial, nimble is amazing.
Melee Specialists are underwhelming, because at 20 melee you get pretty massively dimishing returns from dodging bonus and berserk stance is kind of trash.
Bottom line - you can still have fairly amazing melee fighters without locking their jobs.
my favorite thing is to get a thrumbo. i got one early game in my current playthrough thanks to an inspired taming while one was nearby, and it becomes the best bullet sponge and melee. one of my first playthroughs i had over 50 thrumbos and any raid i had, none of my colonist were ever hurt. combine that with a heated killbox and just one colonist was ever needed for any raid, except the drop pods. but having over 50 thrumbos swarm in was undefeatable.
Good tips!
Good guide!
Nice!
Got this game recently. It is so much fun and i have no idea whats going on half the time. My favorite pawn just died because my giant turret tried to kill a crazy monkey way behind her somewhere and blew her to hell.. i am so hooked
Lol. Welcome aboard. Also, sounds like my short Friendly Fire guide might be of some help! - ua-cam.com/video/_yBBO3r55G0/v-deo.html
Just finished a 3x mech raid. I thought they would raid one at a time or at least give me enough breathing room. NOPE. Everyone had to attack with a few seconds of reprieve. Although one section was thankfully killed off by a trade caravan that happened to arrive in the same area. I was left with 3 pawns standing and my lone melee had to wade in to finish off the lone pikeman that refused to die. My killbox is now in dire need of repairs.
i never had much use for melee fighters until they came out with the jump armor, being able to land a guy with a uranium warhammer or a mono sword and a shield belt right next to a cent or other nasty ranged enemy to kill it then move to killing the next foe or jumping away if your shield breaks makes hard fights much easier to handle, a uranium warhammer tends to take limbs off of human pawns to so your first strike often cripples them or straight out kills. Before they only saw use as blockers for my ranged fighters but now i focus much of my tactics around jump pack ambushes.
Thanks for making a guide that doesn't have cheesey forced jokes and being 100% useful
Nice guide! I knew most of the stuff already but for some reason I always thought that the little zone that they have where they can't hit eachother wouldn't work anymore when there is stuff in between like walls but you made the thing at 6:50 so I'll try something like that next time I'm in the mood to play rimworld.
Perfect guide
I recently got smoked by an early/mid game Impid breacher raid with a mix of ranged and melee fighters. Can't melee block. Can't kite. Couldn't funnel through a burn box. Even a trap tunnel was out of play. I didn't have turrets up. I suppose that would have helped. I tried running out of my walls to kill the breachers, but by the time that happened their melee fighters had closed in and started their fire breath. Maybe I should have let the breachers get in and tried to specifically kill the melee raiders first by kiting? I'm not even sure it would have been possible running around in circles while I pick them off? Maybe. Of course I panicked once they got a fire breath off since then they all started breathing fire and chaos ensued.
"The down size is that the people in the front tend to get stabbed a lot."
Warcrimey Me: Well that's just more experience for my medics then.
Thanks for the guide! Combat has always seemed a little arcane to me besides the basics of staying behind cover and having better weapons than the other guys. Having a better understanding of how combat actually works will definitely be helpful in stopping my pawns from dying…
Great guide
Thanks! more on the way, as always.
Thank you for this!
Perfect
There was a lot of little things I didn't know in this video and I have 350 hours in RimWorld. It's wild how dense the game is
A Quick and Easy Murder Guide? You have my attention....
Have you ever considered making guides on other topics you're competent in and passionate about?
You're concise guides always impressed me, but I don't know if you mainly got those skills from answering questions on stream over and over again and/or if they would transfer to say a tech know-how guide
I've made a few how-to guides in the past that are not game related. I think I've just about always enjoyed teaching people things. Part of that is because, selfishly, teaching others is one of the easiest ways to memorize and get better at something myself :P
One thing that's worth mention is that, while it doesn't affects shooting accuracy, light does affect movement speed and that is a factor in combat. A meleer will be able to cut the distance to the target and engage faster, and speed to move away from the enemy is also important when kiting. A dark vision gene can be useful to ensure max move speed in night combat.
