@@statesofcalamity5152 Not trying to hate but I never understand comments like this and you see them so often on Rimworld videos. ‘This thing is super OP if you mod the shit out of it to make it OP’ well of course right
@@tomd9819 well non taken its just mod seems to bring the best of some aspects and thats why people keeps commenting it anyways but we all have different style in playing through rimworld thats why its great we all have our own way of playing and just wanted to share my experience on my playthrough and others probably does the same
Yeah, this is actually better if you have the manpower and armor/weapons to pull it off. It's much faster and there's no need to wait for shit to cool down after. And even if you triple-wall it, if there's enough bugs, they'll dig out eventually. They won't dig out from this.
@@rauminen4167 True using fire for infestations just isn't good. And with fences being in the game you can haul all the recourses to the wooden fence and than cancel construction. Now you have 1 wood laying all around the floor, this is super efficient compared to crappy wooden floors. 1 wood burns as long as a full stack of wood.
The only thing you can do better is have 1 or 2 guys with grenades, preferably with the fast shooting perk. It will stun and do area damage to the bugs near the doorway.
Yes (might look for Francis John's videos on that) GG WP, still :-) Makes me think, a 3 tiles wide space (corridor) might not be enough for such large scale bugs, manhunters or melee foes in general. Having a 5 tiles wide space would allow for 6 shooters to have LoS -- and therefore shoot -- only at the "frens" directly agressing their melee comrades. Let's just hope I'll remember that.
Nobody mentioned using animal blockers rather than melee pawns (no colonist injuries). Just make zone behind doorway and set larger animals to go there.
While grenades will make the massacre way more smooth, the only problem with that is that the grenades will destroy corpses and anything else within the blast radius
Let them hug each other. Pawns are unable to hit the 4 tiles around them by accident meaning if you shoot from at max 4 tiles behind your melee guy he won't receive a sudden and unwelcome dose of lead in the back. Misses only happen to tiles 5 tiles away. With shield belts it can be stretched to 5 tiles as the front pawns do not care.
Yesterday a max infestation hit me and spilled out of the infestation-bait cave... into the mortar field besides the mountain. At the same time a visiting guest inexplicably armed with a single-shot rocket launcher was hanging around. As I mobilized my pawns aginst the bugs the guest shot into the them, exploding a dozen explosives and a few insanity shells. It was the most spectacular ending I've ever had.
if the cave was sealed from the outside you could've installed a cooler and froze them all to death, or to the point where most of them are in hibernation
@@MurdersMachine i agree with you, but a large invasion like this wouldn't be viable to attack conventionally in early or mid game, and it's better worth your time and risk to superheat it in late game anyways. i'm not saying it's not fun or profitable to fight the bugs conventionally
This gun is has an engraving of vaan smiling triumphantly as he stands between his allies and his enemies. This is a depiction of when vaan held off the horde
tht's a lot of insect meat......you're gonna have a lot of kibble for the next 200 years. also i like how the melee guys are slowly and surely losing fingers as they reduce the number in that horde. they are freaking cyborgs for the most part.
I once opened a Cave in the mountain after 4 ingame years. I found it - but the hive was dead and the insects ate themselves - and died to a heat stroke xD
I’m here to preach about using grenades to deal with infestations, you can take advantage of forced miss radius so the walls are never accidentally hit, idk about Molotovs, would probably need to be outdoors
I had a relatively large infestation in my rec room once, the floor was carpet, an aerofleet wandered in, and they all burned along with a megascreen tv and several sculptures.
@@antmydude236 if they are standing right next to eachother (1tile apart) there should be 0% chance of friendly fire, regardless of shooting skill. i assume as you go to two, then three tiles, etc- the % chance gets higher and higher. if they have high shooting skill the chance will probably still be very low. if they have good armour, there is a chance the bullet will hit, but not deal damage. if you want to know for sure, im sure you could test it by save scuming.
(cut to my two level 0 shooting colonists and pacifist colonist desperately trying to not get mauled to death by a pack of 3 manhunting wild squirrels)
...isn't it easier to just use a heat trap and cook them when they go to sleep? like patching up the holes in the walls and creating a new room adding lots of chairs or whatever and set them on fire while they are walled inside, the extreme heat burning them, although i guess your way you get way more meat.
if you create a fire room, connected with the infestation, one with as much fire in as possible. you can cook them pretty fast. Beware it will very likely destroy anything organic inside aswell.
very small tip: use blunt weapons instead of sharp weapons for your melees in the front, the bugs have a super high armor class against sharp weapons but blunt weapons carve right through them. the same goes for mechanoids
How the hell your shooters didn't gun down your melees??? My super-bionic-cyborgs and t5 full archotech android lvl20 sharpshooters constantly causing friendly fire in much safer formation, and here they basically shot in the back of their friends and didn't hit them lol
