Good grief - is going well and thoroughly into Dwarf Fortress territory... and I love it!
At some point somebody has to make a DF mod. If only there was magma...
Nathan Jessep meh - just reskin the geothermal vents and generators into magma pools and magma forges or something like that.
webkilla That still doesn't allow us to flood the -fortress- map with magma... ;)
needs Z levels
Nathan Jessep true - but that would require fluid logics to be added to the game. Right now the closest we have is the new heaters... you can heat up everything?
I am fanboying so much right now!
Love your vids Elysium im a new sub
lol sure... such a cliche that people make fake accounts to compliment their main accounts
EE, when can we expect a new Grimworld LP on Alpha 8 build? :)
You and Nelson Sexton (Creator of Unturned) are by far the best developers of all time. I feel glad that I helped to kickstart such an awesome game and I'm deathily glad you're keeping us up-to-date day per day. And official Modding support is a feature so many good games don't support. Obsolete props :) Can't wait to play the update!
hello
I'm so excited! I love the game!
You've been so consistent with your updates when many kickstarted devs are not. keep up the fantastic work! :)
Great progress with the game! Now, if I could make a suggestion - some interpersonal interactions between characters (love/hate/friendliness/animosity) and/or more events would be great.There's solid foundation of game mechanics, but such addition could contribute to rpg/narrative experience. :)
Harvest organs, and now this? I'm floored! So happy I backed this! You are the best Tynan!
Tynan, you and your work should be an inspiration to all indie game devs. The passion you have for your game is amazing.
God I love this game.
It reminds me of good ol' Firefly.
And the modding support is FABULOUS! :P
This is great Tynan. I also appreciate the Fahrenheit conversion option. I can usually convert it in my head, but having that option built in is great!
And as for the cryo-sleep pods.. ahem.. KHAN!!!!!!!!!!
nice, i love this! making survival harder and more of the focus rather than the ever increasing size of the raids, will add alot of replayability especially when trying to survive the different biomes.
also yay! art skill is no longer useless^^
As much as i enjoy the raids and such. I definitely like this whole more survival vs the elements.
RMJ1984 agreed, the survival aspect is definitely interesting while the raids a) get stale after a while, and b) put a huge random element to your game, since one unlucky shot can straight up kill one of your colonists; the cold on the other hand tests how well you are prepared and i like that
This is coming along so well! So pleased with your progress !
I watch at every new alpha, and i'm speechless. This is just plain awesome!
This is what i live for, thank you Tynan for making my dream come true. A little bit over the top, but its there, just keep them alphas coming. Good luck.
Man this game is just great. I bought it on a whim after I saw Dsylecxi's video and I am just so impressed. It feels so complete for only being in Alpha 8. It's too bad I didn't know about it during the kickstarter because the game is already worth more than 30 dollars in my opinion. Great job, extremely impressed. I've been advertising the heck out of this game to all my friends.
if you bought it alpha 7, then you missed out on the greatness that were the mining charges. they also doubled as a perimeter defence against large groups of attackers. Although they got removed completely :(
Flaming Ninja isn't there a mod that puts blasting charges back in?
My gosh I love this game
I love the community
I love what you have done with it
I’m trying to do an unethical play through right now and I am recording it so I can watch everything that is occurring
I’m just having so much fun with it XD
Well that's my weekend out the window.
Excellent.
On the other hand that means updating mods again...
Best part of this whole thing?
"Human leather parka."
Oh, my heart leaps for joy!
It looks a lot like prisioner architect... i really like it
RW might be the only way for me to get some snow for X-mas. Thanks, Ty!
Ridiculously excited about this. Thanks for the hard work, and thanks for the early Xmas present :)
Terrific work, Tynan!
This was the update that finally got to me to buy the game... Rewatching this and feeling a lot of nostalgia
Its becoming more and more like dwarf fortress every update. Soon our colonists will be struck by a fey mood and create a masterpiece. Brilliant!
"...making a human leather parka."
Nice to see the colonists are well-rounded, morally sound individuals.
Absolutely wonderful update! great work !
This is great stuff Tynan!
man, thanks a lot for all of the updates. Its so great
Man this game is shaping up awesomely freaking great!
olny seen 10 seocnds of this viedo and it makes me uber happy! I LIVE IN NORWAY AND I LOVE SNOW
Looking really good! Can't wait for the game to be released on steam.
so in love with rim world
Amazing!
I really love these weather additions, those raiders sieging my colony will now feel the wrath of a cold winter !
Wow awesome update! You deserve a high five!
This looks excellent. Can't wait to get the update downloaded and get to crafting human leather parkas.
This is so cool, I love survival stuff, and this is one great addition.
Well, time to start a new colony!
damn rimworld has improved a lot
Oh Seasons... NICE!
i am so happy for this!
kool update man, thanks :)

респектуха тебе братан
only eng - roman alphabet, not write on theese something
Keep up the good work! :)
Kick ass, dude.
I'm asking this literally days before the next patch but do you plan for a future update on adding the option to set beds for visitors ? I find it very sad to see them sleeping on the floor at -35°C outside :(
And also the possibility to heal them when they are injured without it counting as "abduction" and therefore pissing them off, I really love my neighbours :o
thank you soo muck for windmills :D
I'm gonna love this update
This all looks awesome. I just miss the fear meter. I made sure my colony was kept in order with regular sacrifices.
I love alpha 8. Rimworld is finnally fleshing out and it feels like a survival game now. This is what the world of gaming needs currently. If you look around no one is doing this! In the genre of survival we have NOTHING worth the time of day. I just have one thought about the future of Rimworld. I think the raids nearly ruin the game.
Hear me out. I have noticed that Rimworld is at its best during the first 2 to 3 hours of gameplay. That is the time that raids are small and you are building up and trying to survive. Then once you get past that phase, the raids just become plain annoying and insanely huge. The game goes from being a survival game to being a base building-defence game. Rimworld shines as a survival game. This is just my take on it and either way I still think its a great game! Well done so far & thank you
This should be on Steam. This game looks way better than most of the Early Access stuff on there
just build metal unter it and u are done :...
Finaly a game that lets you make a norwegian log cabin :D
taynan looks great
Keep working on this game, it's awesome!
If you only know how many hours I litteraly wasted playing this game... instead of working but whatev' I like it! :D
I would like to see more enemies and friendly npc towns in game with diplomatic things. (that would be cool thing)
And what about traveling to other locations from your base to loot, scavenge or trade?
(if those things will become real multiplayer probably one day will be available to create.)
What do you think guys? Maybe coop like in Civilization? (you can play with friends like allies or maybe fight against each other :) )
Winter's comin'.
And so am I...
i have never seen a friendly cryosleeper
Awesome. I know you showed us an abstract, but will there be the option to make other types of sculpture? Will sculptors/artists/ect be inclined to make their works relate to in game events like in dwarf fort?
this game is looking so good it might as well be dorf fort in space. without a 20 year production cycle.
*girlish scream* Iv been checking the site every day for this. I'm so happy!
If it was me, making a camp fire in side a wooden building, i would not place it right smack near the wood walls :P Buuuut thats just me haha
Now all we need is a randomizer for Crash/Embark location and season!
My minstrell* had a busted kidney... an exotic goods trader passed by and she traded a plasteal shoddy sculpture for a new kidney. delicious!
Love it! :D
its epic it looks awesome thanks for another epic update
Woah, this is advancing so fast. This is the only thing I've ever funded in kickstarter and remains one of the best investments I've made in gaming. Way to go +tynan sylvester, this is amazing.
OMG OMG OMG!!!
cant stop playing it great
One day I hope for a dwarf fortress type game rendered in full 3D. We need more computing power! MORE POWER!
Look up Gnomoria.
Prismatic Flux It does not even come close to Dwarf Fortress.
Love the game! Cant wait for it to hit Steam so the game automatically updates :)
What are the odds you send a person with cater acts in BOTHA eyes to sculpt something.. No wonder it's taking her years!! Haha.. I would say the rain doesn't look good when you see it in the rock. It puts the rocks into the background where as they should be in front of the ground. Two more things! Wouldn't it be cool to be able to overtake the whole of that large map? And be able to land in new colonies onto areas you have already built up? Just my thoughts, nothing special. I love all the statistics that come into play, really cool. Keep up the great work!
I would recommend bringing your suggestions on to the official forums, i don't think tynan actually reads the comments here. Still a nice thing to say though. Best of luck to you!
They could really improve on this game by including a space sim mode, when you get past the ship building stage I'd love to be able to explore with my ship/set up new colonys and attack my enemys colonys. Just some ideas.
A space ship mode like that would be better than FTL.
Dude release on Steam, this game is amazing and I already have it but I want other people to know about it :)
Ohh ive been holding out playing this game, because i didn wanna burn out or spoil my self. But i gotta admit, i think i have to play this update :D
It's worth it. I've been playing each update as they come out and Tynan adds so many things per update that it feels like a mini-Christmas every time.
Miles Keller Thats sounds really awesome :D guess ill have to fire it op and play.
Alpha 8 is fantastic. This game is amazing.
I have an idea:Plant Cutting zone, because I don't like to cut the woods next to a wind turbie time to time
Tynan Sylvester what do you think about the multilayer and what have you got to say about all the hype and rumours about multilayer in alpha 9 (the next alpha)??
This is such an awesome game and i'm so happy to support it !
Now ive been playing a bit, its a ton of fun. Its there a way to see good places to place windmills? i cant seem to see any sort of wind speed indicator at all ?.
So at alpha 8 food reserves needs a refrigerator or they will become rot? But refrigerator can be used only inside. So how to sale food reserves to the traders if you can't place trading beacon inside buildings?
Create a room with no roof and cool it down.
Vaprous but refrigerator wont work well if room will no have roof
MrTwister You'd have to carry the stuff outside when the food trader arrives. Or remove the roof and put it back on :p
Tynan Sylvester What the DEV said: Speaking of which, you may want to add in preservatives and packing options in the future like salt etc and other such things: Create production lines like turning potatoes into "potato chips" to sell the finished product etc....allowing the colony to turn into a manufacturing hub. or just giving us salt...so we can package our food for long term storage. Salt would be delightful....
Vaprous
"Strip the flesh, salt the wound!" xD
Winter is coming? ... Well so am I.
so just a question I saw the other day (yes I just noticed) that there is a race type like human are you going to add other species in the future that we can play as?
Do colonists automatically go inside / near a heat source when they are cold? or do you have to move them manually?
When i make a new colony my screen always goes black as soon as i click create, I can still hear the sounds of the game responding in the background when I click though. I was really looking forwards to playing the new update.
For alpha 9 can you add a trait for stuff like, colonists getting used to the sight of dead bodies, cannibalism etc
And can you also add fishing to the game?
GJ
Tynan, are the mac and pc save files combatible an if they are how can i trensfer my save files from mac to pc? Also when there is an update do the save files still get deleted?
Hello Tynan, i have a one request for you. Can you make micromanagement model in your game? For Example, Sun lamps is uneffective at day time and must be turned off. But doing this all time will be very bo-o-oring. Or adding a shedule for colony will be great.
I need rimworld on steam now
You live in Montreal, i never realized how many youtubers lived in my home land
have yall thought about adding in a family thing where to people mate and then you get kids and they grow up and join your colony to help.? Btw great game man.
Mmmmmm. Time for artic research stations
Will the ice sheet biome ever be able to be played?
10 seconds of more watching i se that this is the most amazing update ever alot better than alpha 7
Any planed date when it'll come to steam?
how do you select all the wood like that?
So, am I missing something, or are there no longer Geothermal generators? I can't seem to find them in game.
I can't see it either, but it might be unlocked with research? Otherwise why would the gas geysers still be there?
Sc2mapper117 Yup, you now need to research them at the research table :)
Sc2mapper117 Need more vespine gas
Will we ever be able to dig down at least one or two levels to create bunkers?
just something about the idea of digging trenches is appealing to me
this would be too awesome. but maybe pretty confusing.
Hiker Wolfspaine Trenches...or moats!
Heimdallw32
There's a mod that lets you build trenches, and also bunkers with shooting window walls
Now that you can make gladius and other weapons, now the only thing missing is that we can make prisoners fight like gladiators!
Bring it to steam rite nao!
January Tenth? That's my birthday!!
do besiegers at least freeze to death too? That might be an incentive for me to move to the freezing zones...
