Killing AI with heat mechanics is an entirely valid strategy. Trapping caravans and ambassadors in a room and jacking the temperature up lets you kill them without losing favour with their faction since the real killer is technically heat stroke instead of you.
I've seen super dark, long tunnels to funnel raiders into, filled with rocks and rotting corpses. The tunnel can take days to travel through, which makes raiders tired and hungry as well, eventually triggering mental breakdowns on most of them, with the sparse few left suffering from malnutrition by the time they arrive at the actual base.
Rimworld is often nicknamed "War Crimes Simulator" for some of the more darker things you can do, as the game gives total moral freedom if your strong enough to deal with the outcome of your actions - this gets even worse with mods XD - im often very tech/research focused in my colonies but after a few of the local tribal groups started to fruitlessly raid my places i started to turn the captured survivors into cyborg killing machines and sending them back to their villages via drop-pod ^_^

Seth kind of downplayed the organ harvesting. For maximum profit you remove both arms and legs, both eyes, stomach, jaw, ears, nose, one kidney, and one lung. Then you choose between the liver and heart.
The fact that I’m wondering more about the reason behind having to choose between two vital organs than the moral implications of this practice makes me think I’ve been watching too many Sseth videos
Rimworld is great. I've played many games, but made it off the planet only once. The learning curve is steep, so you'll lose lots of early colonies. Once you've developed an early have strategy, mid game and late game threats will destroy your colony. The game is different on every replay and community modders add content, such as a middle earth or a Lovecraftian theme, all the time. It's one of those games where you can be up at one am repeating, to yourself, just ten more minutes. Crazy good game which makes losing fun.
hell modders have even removed the end goal as with "Save Our Ship" leaving the planet is just the mid point as you can now travel/fight in space, land on other planets and start new colonies there or even just make a orbital space station
One of my favorite Is colonies ended When a massive raid came I'd lost almost everyone and my base was in a mountain so I caused the cave in and put everybody into cryo sleep, no one came
The only part of the Geneva Convention you can’t violate in Rimworld is the one about misusing the red cross symbol. Of course, there’s a mod for that last one.
I got assaulted by a swarm of squirrels tbh and then got raided by pirates after that edit: Just to be clear I specifically got raided by murder-bot pirates with power armor
My best rimworld story was the time I ran a mod that added multiplayer to the game. We got twelve people in a discord call and opened a death robot tomb on day one. Like three people died and almost everyone was injured, but we survived by swarming the robot tank and beating it to death. Then a resulting fire burned down half the base.

Mods make this even more war-crimey. Personally, I like ensuring that my prisons have very handy gas vents so that the prisoner bedrooms could serve as gas chambers whenever I feel bored.
So in one of my more recent colonies I have build my prison for captured raiders in an open field. One of my current favorite hobbies is to tell two or three colonists to man the mortars and free prisoners one at a time. Then watch as a prisoner tries to run off the map all the while dodging mortar fire, if they make it cool I get increased rep with whatever faction tried to raid me. If not, well I get a new flesh suits for my trade caravans.
My favorite deathtrap was in a mountain base that had an extremly long labirinth path leading into it. The path was spotted with sandbags so the enemy had to slow down to a crawl to get over them . Enemies would slowly get tired and start getting hungry but they keep pushing forward cus loot in my base was juicy. They go and go but more winding hallways with sandbags came. Day 1. ended the enemies were around 1/4 of the path. They still had energy so they pushed forwards seeing victory in the next corner. Day 2. ended with the attackers reaching the half point of the pathway. Half of them were already too tired to walk forward and gave up so they turned back. Day 3. ended with the first half of the attackers slowly starting to starve and the thirst was killing them. Most turned back. Day 4. ended with most of the attackers dieing of starvation or thirst around the middle of the path. Some got insane after seeing the corpse of their mates who gave up earlier on their way back and trying to eat whats left of them. The rest still sane and alive one turned back to try to escape from this hell. Day 5. Some remaining attackers with bionics or pure luck still alive are going insane with the sight of corpses every turn they try to take on the way back. After losing direction and forgetting where they actually came from they fall to the ground next to the rotting corpses of those who died on day 3. Day 19. a new group enters the path... This one was the best, no maintenance because it had no actual traps needing to pe replaced. Just the pure length and the slow crawl made the enemies starve then go insane after seeing the bodies all around. Once i set it up it was good to go. More enemies meant more corpses = more effective death trap. Once everything was dead just send in a phycho colonist to loot and you get a happy maniac and a ton of free stuff. Edit: spelling
The cave oven reminds me of a thing i made in a similar game where there were several drop down layers from the entrance, at the sides i had steel foundries behind clay-steel sheets, once these opened toxic smoke and heat began to flow in, so the enemies dropped down the layers, they would then try to get to the water that was behind a grate at the bottom, however they couldnt reach it, instead of being for them it was there so that the heat would cause it to turn to steam, the steam flowed up and mixed with the toxic smoke to become acid rain storms, coating the entire place in acid fog and melting everything but gems and precious metals, which, since my group was robot based, allowed me to safely get the materials i needed without worrying about the hazards of the other groups. And i was able to easily duplicate this set up for every level of ground where i ran into enemies trying to breach.
One of my defenses for raiders is to make them go through a killbox and have to climb over piles of their dead comrades. It really hurts their morale and makes it easier to get them to run away
Favorite trap I made was with a mod that added Z levels, had a large chamber with a ceiling, and turrets that resided on overhangs, enemies would walk in and be gunned down by several rows of turrets on being varying levels. If they didn't have guns they would just be uselessly walking into a carpet of lead. Fun times.
You should really react to Seth's Crusader Kings 2 video, it's really good, also, this game is really good, and likely has hundreds of mods, so your imagination really is the limit.
Rimworld is a really fun game and it's actually easy to get into, my first 3 colonies died of hunger during the winter, the next 2 because of the incompetence of my colonists who either got hurt easily and got infections right before a raid
I have a recommended video/series you guys should react to, it's Evan Royalty's SCP. First Contact and Overlord are a great watch. They're great videos with amazing production quality, good acting/voice acting and doesn't require a lot of knowledge on SCP background as most of the videos are self contained stories within the whole universe. Hope you guys react to it someday!
The Classic Raid PARTY came to my base, except it wasn't My main base rather it was a Full on kill box just connected to the main base. I kill them using rabbid Animals. I'm also a volunteer for my local animal shelter.
it's single player by default, though there is a multiplayer mod that works decently well. As well as a few other pseudo-multiplayer options (like the Twitch Toolkit which can be set up to allow your watchers that meet certain criteria to earn currency they can use to purchase events and such, with a fair degree of customization for how the streamer wants to set it)
for my first succesful and long-lasting colony, I mainly relied on a fairly long straight tunnel for defense (except for more special assaults). I would make the room at the end of it wider to accomodate my defenders behind cover, the tunnel funneled them in in a conga line and they had to push through it and scatter to not be shot one after another.
Consider trying Sseth's Crusader Kings 2 review next, there's more material there for the commenters to engage: ua-cam.com/video/cE4txj_8tqA/v-deo.html
ah yes, i remember my first time playing, toxic fallout nearly killed me, thank god that the paste dispenser can use human meat to produce affordable food, i usually just put as many ground mines(vanilla expanded security™) as i can fit in a tunnel and shot at what's left of my enemies
It's good to see that Sseth is a fan of the walk-in EZBake method of anti-raid field weaponry. Myself, I have a mod that includes high power furnaces that heat space around them to about 800 degrees F, and keep them closed in a room air-gapped from a vent system that feeds into a concrete maze. When raiders enter and make their way through, I have a colonist hit a switch in the heart of my base that toggles the state of the remote doors between the furnaces and the blast doors sealing the meltmaze, enclosing the nightmare pathway in pitch blackness as the doors holding back the fires of hell open and vent superheated air into the killer construction. The best part of it all is that the eventual combustion of flammable items in the killoven combined with wooden flooring and non-flammable walls means eventually the entire thing burns out, incinerating all remains that have a melting point, leaving it clear for reflooring. My only regret with it all is the lack of corpses means I have nothing to stake outside the entrance as a warning to the future raiders that come looking for my cucumber paste. At least, not anyone that said raiders might recognize from their previous raiding party, only those members from factions with the technology to drop pod their way into the center of my facility get put on the spikes and gibbets to warn the others. They would think that the miles large black stone walls from which no noise or life ever escapes would be enough of a deterrent to the roving tribals that they would speak of the land as a forbidden realm of demons in their own little ideoligions, but apparently not. No, this fear of what lies in the heart of the complex must be taught by force.
Rimworld player here: the worst thing I've done is as follows. Be warned, it requires mods. I first seperated my prisoners by gender, I then lobotomised the females and amputated their limbs. The males were immediately stripped, enslaved, and worked to death. Those who tried resisting would be harvested. The females would then be artificially inseminated and I would wait for them to give birth. After birth the babies had 1 of 4 fates. 1: immediate harvesting of all their organs, their soft baby skin turned yo leather and used to make clothing and furniture. 2: enslavement, either in the colony or sold to slave traders. 3: the lucky few born with good enough traits would be raised to be 0art of the colony. 4: fed to the biofuel reactor.
I swear to god, the "You don't fuck with squirrels, Morty!" line of Rick & Morty was conceived after playing this game... god damn flesh-eating squirrels...
Best strategy is an army of tamed rats. They breed rapidly, and eat their own for food. Then you can send forth your legions upon your enemies when the arrive.
I gassed my raiders with tear gas, and aftert they all went to the floor screaming , i turned on the "other gas" and thrown in couple of molotovs in to a pile.
The modding community is fucking amazing too. One of my colonists had his genitals, which were added by a mod, cut off entirely by a robot with swords for arms.
Worst thing i did (im relatively new player) is constantly visit nearby settlement which was unfriendly from start and set fire to their sleeping quarters, and sleeping people to encourage them to move away.
as a person that always goes back to rimworld and starts a new game after the end of the last and has been playing it sense the very beginning of its making i can confirm speacily with mods *infinite replay ability*
One time my colony was raided and all my colonists disabled, but my pet buffalo trampled the invaders and saved us. All but one of my colonists died, but she proceeded to revitalize the colony by rescuing strangers and inviting tribals. The colony later perished when I opened a cryo-stasis chamber and got merked by the horrors trapped within.
I miss the days of being able to lure trade caravans into a nice and luxuriously furnished room (minus the steam geyser) only to seal them inside and wait until they boil alive all while repairing the door that I locked. After that I'd take all the stuff they were hoping to trade for myself and use their skin to make cloths for my psychotic characters (it gives them a mood boost okay), and the best part is that their faction wouldn't be made at me since it technically was the environment which killed them... part of me wishes they didnt patch that out
I like to build my bases by carving out the side of a mountain. On the plus side, that makes it extremely difficult for raiders to get into my base since mountainous areas tend to have a lot of natural choke points where I can funnel invaders directly into automated guns. On the negative side, the game knows how impenetrable your base is, so it likes to send giant insect swarms that burrow out of the floors inside your base to ruin your day. That can be mitigated by dropping the temperature in sensitive areas. For instance, I keep my power generators at -20 degrees because insects won't spawn in cold areas. They also like dark caves so if you dig out a bunch unfinished dark rooms deep into the mountain it's much more likely that they'll infest there rather than your base. Then apply miniguns and full auto shotguns.
Yes, my fav game I've wasted hours on with mods. So if you wanna play, caution: It's a bit hard to get into but once you're in, you don't wanna get out. It's like the ability to chuck double cheese burst pizzas, it's hard at first to finish it all without your body feeling like shit, but sooner you can eat them and gain wait, while losing it is hard. Crusader kings 2 review and starsector next too, please.
I usually don't construct big killboxes. I rely on cybernetic enhanced super-soldiers, that use hit-and-run tactics to kill invaders before they reach the walls.
ok im a mod runner, and most often i end up with the scenario: "im not looked in here with you, your locked in here with me" due to the fact that i carry weapons that when nothing gose wrong with the games code, end up turning my enemys into paste... and thats the lower teirs of this weapons, though i do end up creating anti seige fortifications which makes my enemys literaly walk into their death watching entire scores of alies turn into paste via excessive rapid fire turret platforms, or turn to dust via wide range high explosive turrets, and it gets to the point that all they will see before they die is overwelming area denail in a corraling cavrn where the walls are covered by native rock making the ai not realise they can just mine their and get to my walls... which are stupidly durable all over my base, and thats not counting the countless turrets iv placed everywher in the colony which makes it so that not only do you fear my powerarmored with ranged compatable shield and abusivly ruthless ranged weapons but also constant over ecessive security turrets that fire energy rounds that will kill even higher teck equiped troops... my entire base is death... my 'citizens' born and enhanced to systematicly anhilate all who choose to attack... think astarties only overdosed on doom eternals powerlevel... aka they can tank without their power armor... but with it... only something of symular teck can hope to pirce it... now the thing my enemys never realise... is my colonists are the trap... that and i kinda over used the saying... use more gun... and some guns dont brake even remotly fast enough to alow enemys to realy push ground... why, becouse some turrets can be made outa the rediculusly durable materials i use... soo yep downside... it takes stupid amounts of time to repair, which makes replacing it with another of the same building much more time efficent
i have not done too many crazy death traps in this game, but i did build a large colony of psychopath cannibals that ate every single raider to arrive to the colony that wasn't also a cannibal
Rimworld is a generator of absurd stories. I once had a situation where a couple of colonists decided to get married. The wedding event has started. There was a fight. Someone had a fight with the groom. And the groom ended up without a penis. Type of injury? Bitten off. The most ambitious defense I've made (on mods) is a tight tunnel that automatically closes the door at both ends when it detects an enemy in the right place. After that, sleeping gas mines explode. When everyone is unconscious, the ventilation removes the gas. And I put them all in jail. Where I cut off all their organs until the patient di,es.
best death trap i've had is a labirynthine maze full of traps and corpses followed by an exit surrounded by automatic turrets for the unlucky few that manages to get through the maze .
What i did in rimworld? I made a killbox using coolers, freeze raiders to death, then harvest there organs and sell it to the traders, then the leftover parts become foods for my colonist 😅
I play rimworld but I don’t make killboxes, I prefer to manage my wealth so the raids are less intense (raid strength is proportional to colony wealth) and I get to fight them in a more organic environment. I do have a story of how my elephant drank itself to death because I left a bunch of beer unattended in my base.
Technically, you cannot order chickens to attack your enemies. However, you can order chickens to stay inside a certain zone, and that zone can be arbitrarily defined at any moment. So you can define the chicken zone straight on top of your enemies. The chickens will run and quickly overwhelm them with their numbers. Some will die, becoming a nice meal after the battle.
The funniest thing I saw was that someone gave a duck a marijuana blunt, and the duck ended up with an addiction and lung cancer...after only ONE smoke.
Water and Airproofed all the homes in the colony so that they could be sealed from all possible attacks. When raiders inevitable break in, they rush in to murder and loot, then I seal the doors. Then I redirect the water system to "Indoor Pool" mode but forget to turn it off. Eventually, what could charitably called "black pudding" forms in the space and it is now ready for easy disposal...after colonists in scuba gear recycle whatever they can find.
I had a torture method, raise and lower the temperature to extreme degrees, watch them loose body parts to frostbite while simultaneously die of heatstroke
I once had a large entrance yard with few generously placed pillars for attackers to hide behind. Except each of the pillars was the only thing holding about 500 square feet of roof, and they have all been chipped to 10% durability before the attack, so you can probably picture what happened when the shooting started...
Let me talk of my most recent colony failure. It was early in the game, and Randy (being the huge bastard he is) decided to throw a GIANT pack of man-eating Yorkshire Terriers at me. Not kidding. My poor newbie colonists were swarmed by friggin' Yorkies after their flesh. It was the most annoying and hilarious thing I've ever encountered in a game.
I have definitelly had some fun times in this game. In a recent playthrough I made a "Rich explorer" who was a mad psychotic Scientist who created a vast mountain base. I kept most of my base Chilled to -20 degrees Celsius to prevent the bugs from spawning on top of my base, except for one labyrinthine back entrance that was left in the dark and properly warm to have the swarms pretty much constantly roaming the area back there Occasionally one or two of the bugs would make it to my turret kill box but all in all they were pretty good at properly softening up any raid Randy sent my way.
I pretty much did the same thing as seth, but with freezing temperatures. I then collected the bodies and made food for my carnivorous pets and animals.
One of RimWorld's greatest feats is it's modability, one of my mods enables infectious diseases. And long story short there was a colony that I didn't like but I couldn't go to war with them because they will flatten me so what I did was send a man with every communicable disease known to humans and spread his germs on their colony anti-mask activist style
I use the prison labor mod along with the Quarry mod and have a large prison deep inside a mountain for all the people who've tried to attack my colony, payment is one lung and kidney and a life of mining resources and cutting stone blocks, they're fed via a nutrient paste dispenser which makes its paste out of rice and human meat from the dead, the prisoners wear human leather jackets made from their fallen comrades and if they decide and try to break out then using the Vanilla Expanded furniture-power mod I pump Helixan gas (basically natural gas) into the prison turning it into a gas chamber, the survivors get medical treatment while the dead get turned into food and clothes for the survivors
Absolutely give Rimworld a shot, It's a ton of fun. Relatively easy to get into, as well, compared to similar games. There is a multiplayer mod for it called Zetrith's Multiplayer Mod, but it's somewhat prone to desyncs from what I've seen. As for my craziest deathtrap, well, I used a terrain generation mod to change the area I settled in into a cove with only one way in or out of the map, through a river. Then I built a bridge that led from one mountain to another on that river and then built a wall on that bridge. Nothing could get in or out of my cove without my permission without the use of drop pods. Animals still tried to migrate to my cove, but they were stuck outside because of the wall. Because there was nothing to eat, they all eventually started to starve. By complete accident, one of my colonists dropped a meal just outside the doors to my wall. Soon enough, tons of starving animals were rushing towards it. Since Rimworld is a game about being a bad person in a bad place, I immediately took advantage of the opportunity to hunt the local starving wildlife from the safety of my wall using food as bait, including some rare thrumbos, which are like unicorns but with swords for horns. Normally very very deadly to your colonists, but they can't really decapitate a wall.
i built into a mountian and made a bunker then made the only entrance a kill box with flamethrowers out of the wall not that creative it but worked and it gave us food
I enslaved my raiders and put them to work in a factory and farm. Eventually they beccame indoctrinated and forgot what freedom was like. They got positive mood boosts from being enslaved. They also would defend the base with their lives.
You guys should check out Max0r's "Incorrect Summary" vids. I'd personally recommend his Devil May Cry 5 review. It's in two parts, though it isn't all that long.
I usually make gas chambers with multiple entry points.. will they die from poison?, enrage gas?, acid perhaps.. the options are limitless with the mods available...
One day a lighting ingnite my electrical system... right next my mortar shells deposit, with to Antigrain warhead (basically nuke). The deposit... was made of wood, and it catch fire...
One time when was playing this game I gave my pet Rhino some cocaine and she stopped a raid of pirates all by herself.

The cave oven reminds me of a thing i made in a similar game where there were several drop down layers from the entrance, at the sides i had steel foundries behind clay-steel sheets, once these opened toxic smoke and heat began to flow in, so the enemies dropped down the layers, they would then try to get to the water that was behind a grate at the bottom, however they couldnt reach it, instead of being for them it was there so that the heat would cause it to turn to steam, the steam flowed up and mixed with the toxic smoke to become acid rain storms, coating the entire place in acid fog and melting everything but gems and precious metals, which, since my group was robot based, allowed me to safely get the materials i needed without worrying about the hazards of the other groups. And i was able to easily duplicate this set up for every level of ground where i ran into enemies trying to breach.
Seth's Morrowind review is highly underrated. Fucking hilarious.
One of my defenses for raiders is to make them go through a killbox and have to climb over piles of their dead comrades. It really hurts their morale and makes it easier to get them to run away
Favorite trap I made was with a mod that added Z levels, had a large chamber with a ceiling, and turrets that resided on overhangs, enemies would walk in and be gunned down by several rows of turrets on being varying levels. If they didn't have guns they would just be uselessly walking into a carpet of lead. Fun times.
You should really react to Seth's Crusader Kings 2 video, it's really good, also, this game is really good, and likely has hundreds of mods, so your imagination really is the limit.
Ahh yes, Incest Simulator 2 :D
i played this game a lot, i had war-trained raccoons which i fed coke before combat. Making them absolute rabid warriors.
Rimworld is a really fun game and it's actually easy to get into, my first 3 colonies died of hunger during the winter, the next 2 because of the incompetence of my colonists who either got hurt easily and got infections right before a raid
I have a recommended video/series you guys should react to, it's Evan Royalty's SCP. First Contact and Overlord are a great watch.
They're great videos with amazing production quality, good acting/voice acting and doesn't require a lot of knowledge on SCP background as most of the videos are self contained stories within the whole universe.
Hope you guys react to it someday!
The Classic Raid PARTY came to my base, except it wasn't My main base rather it was a Full on kill box just connected to the main base.
I kill them using rabbid Animals.
I'm also a volunteer for my local animal shelter.
it's single player by default, though there is a multiplayer mod that works decently well. As well as a few other pseudo-multiplayer options (like the Twitch Toolkit which can be set up to allow your watchers that meet certain criteria to earn currency they can use to purchase events and such, with a fair degree of customization for how the streamer wants to set it)
for my first succesful and long-lasting colony, I mainly relied on a fairly long straight tunnel for defense (except for more special assaults). I would make the room at the end of it wider to accomodate my defenders behind cover, the tunnel funneled them in in a conga line and they had to push through it and scatter to not be shot one after another.
Consider trying Sseth's Crusader Kings 2 review next, there's more material there for the commenters to engage: ua-cam.com/video/cE4txj_8tqA/v-deo.html
His Endless Space 2 review is really good.
ah yes, i remember my first time playing, toxic fallout nearly killed me, thank god that the paste dispenser can use human meat to produce affordable food, i usually just put as many ground mines(vanilla expanded security™) as i can fit in a tunnel and shot at what's left of my enemies
It's good to see that Sseth is a fan of the walk-in EZBake method of anti-raid field weaponry. Myself, I have a mod that includes high power furnaces that heat space around them to about 800 degrees F, and keep them closed in a room air-gapped from a vent system that feeds into a concrete maze. When raiders enter and make their way through, I have a colonist hit a switch in the heart of my base that toggles the state of the remote doors between the furnaces and the blast doors sealing the meltmaze, enclosing the nightmare pathway in pitch blackness as the doors holding back the fires of hell open and vent superheated air into the killer construction. The best part of it all is that the eventual combustion of flammable items in the killoven combined with wooden flooring and non-flammable walls means eventually the entire thing burns out, incinerating all remains that have a melting point, leaving it clear for reflooring.
My only regret with it all is the lack of corpses means I have nothing to stake outside the entrance as a warning to the future raiders that come looking for my cucumber paste. At least, not anyone that said raiders might recognize from their previous raiding party, only those members from factions with the technology to drop pod their way into the center of my facility get put on the spikes and gibbets to warn the others. They would think that the miles large black stone walls from which no noise or life ever escapes would be enough of a deterrent to the roving tribals that they would speak of the land as a forbidden realm of demons in their own little ideoligions, but apparently not. No, this fear of what lies in the heart of the complex must be taught by force.
Rimworld player here: the worst thing I've done is as follows. Be warned, it requires mods.
I first seperated my prisoners by gender, I then lobotomised the females and amputated their limbs. The males were immediately stripped, enslaved, and worked to death. Those who tried resisting would be harvested.
The females would then be artificially inseminated and I would wait for them to give birth. After birth the babies had 1 of 4 fates.
1: immediate harvesting of all their organs, their soft baby skin turned yo leather and used to make clothing and furniture.
2: enslavement, either in the colony or sold to slave traders.
3: the lucky few born with good enough traits would be raised to be 0art of the colony.
4: fed to the biofuel reactor.
"a thunder of squirrels."
Someone read Eragon
I swear to god, the "You don't fuck with squirrels, Morty!" line of Rick & Morty was conceived after playing this game... god damn flesh-eating squirrels...
Best strategy is an army of tamed rats. They breed rapidly, and eat their own for food. Then you can send forth your legions upon your enemies when the arrive.
I gassed my raiders with tear gas, and aftert they all went to the floor screaming , i turned on the "other gas" and thrown in couple of molotovs in to a pile.
Also, here are some suggestions: Stringstorm - Krieg or Vampire the Masquerade Review by Sseth or An Incorrect Summary of Devil May Cry 5 by Max0r.
The modding community is fucking amazing too. One of my colonists had his genitals, which were added by a mod, cut off entirely by a robot with swords for arms.
Worst thing i did (im relatively new player) is constantly visit nearby settlement which was unfriendly from start and set fire to their sleeping quarters, and sleeping people to encourage them to move away.
as a person that always goes back to rimworld and starts a new game after the end of the last and has been playing it sense the very beginning of its making i can confirm speacily with mods *infinite replay ability*
One time my colony was raided and all my colonists disabled, but my pet buffalo trampled the invaders and saved us.
All but one of my colonists died, but she proceeded to revitalize the colony by rescuing strangers and inviting tribals.
The colony later perished when I opened a cryo-stasis chamber and got merked by the horrors trapped within.
I miss the days of being able to lure trade caravans into a nice and luxuriously furnished room (minus the steam geyser) only to seal them inside and wait until they boil alive all while repairing the door that I locked. After that I'd take all the stuff they were hoping to trade for myself and use their skin to make cloths for my psychotic characters (it gives them a mood boost okay), and the best part is that their faction wouldn't be made at me since it technically was the environment which killed them... part of me wishes they didnt patch that out
I like to build my bases by carving out the side of a mountain. On the plus side, that makes it extremely difficult for raiders to get into my base since mountainous areas tend to have a lot of natural choke points where I can funnel invaders directly into automated guns.
On the negative side, the game knows how impenetrable your base is, so it likes to send giant insect swarms that burrow out of the floors inside your base to ruin your day. That can be mitigated by dropping the temperature in sensitive areas. For instance, I keep my power generators at -20 degrees because insects won't spawn in cold areas. They also like dark caves so if you dig out a bunch unfinished dark rooms deep into the mountain it's much more likely that they'll infest there rather than your base. Then apply miniguns and full auto shotguns.
Yes, my fav game I've wasted hours on with mods. So if you wanna play, caution: It's a bit hard to get into but once you're in, you don't wanna get out. It's like the ability to chuck double cheese burst pizzas, it's hard at first to finish it all without your body feeling like shit, but sooner you can eat them and gain wait, while losing it is hard.
Crusader kings 2 review and starsector next too, please.
I usually don't construct big killboxes. I rely on cybernetic enhanced super-soldiers, that use hit-and-run tactics to kill invaders before they reach the walls.
Still asking about that reaction of dawn of war ultimate apocalypse by mandalore gaming
Love how they both got so quiet at the snowflake colonist part. The Chicago gestapo is watching.
ok im a mod runner, and most often i end up with the scenario: "im not looked in here with you, your locked in here with me" due to the fact that i carry weapons that when nothing gose wrong with the games code, end up turning my enemys into paste... and thats the lower teirs of this weapons, though i do end up creating anti seige fortifications which makes my enemys literaly walk into their death watching entire scores of alies turn into paste via excessive rapid fire turret platforms, or turn to dust via wide range high explosive turrets, and it gets to the point that all they will see before they die is overwelming area denail in a corraling cavrn where the walls are covered by native rock making the ai not realise they can just mine their and get to my walls... which are stupidly durable all over my base, and thats not counting the countless turrets iv placed everywher in the colony which makes it so that not only do you fear my powerarmored with ranged compatable shield and abusivly ruthless ranged weapons but also constant over ecessive security turrets that fire energy rounds that will kill even higher teck equiped troops... my entire base is death... my 'citizens' born and enhanced to systematicly anhilate all who choose to attack... think astarties only overdosed on doom eternals powerlevel... aka they can tank without their power armor... but with it... only something of symular teck can hope to pirce it... now the thing my enemys never realise... is my colonists are the trap... that and i kinda over used the saying... use more gun... and some guns dont brake even remotly fast enough to alow enemys to realy push ground... why, becouse some turrets can be made outa the rediculusly durable materials i use... soo yep downside... it takes stupid amounts of time to repair, which makes replacing it with another of the same building much more time efficent
i have not done too many crazy death traps in this game, but i did build a large colony of psychopath cannibals that ate every single raider to arrive to the colony that wasn't also a cannibal
Please check out his video on caves of qud, really good!

I swear that could be a meme for this channel
Rimworld is a generator of absurd stories. I once had a situation where a couple of colonists decided to get married. The wedding event has started. There was a fight. Someone had a fight with the groom. And the groom ended up without a penis. Type of injury? Bitten off.
The most ambitious defense I've made (on mods) is a tight tunnel that automatically closes the door at both ends when it detects an enemy in the right place. After that, sleeping gas mines explode. When everyone is unconscious, the ventilation removes the gas. And I put them all in jail. Where I cut off all their organs until the patient di,es.
A group of squirrels is called a scurry!
best death trap i've had is a labirynthine maze full of traps and corpses followed by an exit surrounded by automatic turrets for the unlucky few that manages to get through the maze .
What i did in rimworld?
I made a killbox using coolers, freeze raiders to death, then harvest there organs and sell it to the traders, then the leftover parts become foods for my colonist 😅
I play rimworld but I don’t make killboxes, I prefer to manage my wealth so the raids are less intense (raid strength is proportional to colony wealth) and I get to fight them in a more organic environment.
I do have a story of how my elephant drank itself to death because I left a bunch of beer unattended in my base.
Technically, you cannot order chickens to attack your enemies.
However, you can order chickens to stay inside a certain zone, and that zone can be arbitrarily defined at any moment. So you can define the chicken zone straight on top of your enemies.
The chickens will run and quickly overwhelm them with their numbers. Some will die, becoming a nice meal after the battle.
The funniest thing I saw was that someone gave a duck a marijuana blunt, and the duck ended up with an addiction and lung cancer...after only ONE smoke.
I built a terminator factory to mass replicate infinitely.
Water and Airproofed all the homes in the colony so that they could be sealed from all possible attacks. When raiders inevitable break in, they rush in to murder and loot, then I seal the doors. Then I redirect the water system to "Indoor Pool" mode but forget to turn it off.
Eventually, what could charitably called "black pudding" forms in the space and it is now ready for easy disposal...after colonists in scuba gear recycle whatever they can find.
Rimworld is the BEST game ever dudes. You can have physic powers and now do rituals, like colosseum fighting and other nonsense.
A group of squirrels is called a scurry.
I had a torture method, raise and lower the temperature to extreme degrees, watch them loose body parts to frostbite while simultaneously die of heatstroke
My last colony just got destroid because the pirates destroyed the cooling of the nuclear reactor
They need to watch Seth's or martincitopants review of Factorio! Another one of these crazy reviews. Super funny!
I once had a large entrance yard with few generously placed pillars for attackers to hide behind. Except each of the pillars was the only thing holding about 500 square feet of roof, and they have all been chipped to 10% durability before the attack, so you can probably picture what happened when the shooting started...
Let me talk of my most recent colony failure. It was early in the game, and Randy (being the huge bastard he is) decided to throw a GIANT pack of man-eating Yorkshire Terriers at me. Not kidding. My poor newbie colonists were swarmed by friggin' Yorkies after their flesh. It was the most annoying and hilarious thing I've ever encountered in a game.
I have definitelly had some fun times in this game. In a recent playthrough I made a "Rich explorer" who was a mad psychotic Scientist who created a vast mountain base. I kept most of my base Chilled to -20 degrees Celsius to prevent the bugs from spawning on top of my base, except for one labyrinthine back entrance that was left in the dark and properly warm to have the swarms pretty much constantly roaming the area back there Occasionally one or two of the bugs would make it to my turret kill box but all in all they were pretty good at properly softening up any raid Randy sent my way.
i think Michael and Zuck will like Seth's dwarf fortress review more, they should watch it
As an avid eyeball collector, i can confirm, this game is good and makes u into a monster, for capitalism
I pretty much did the same thing as seth, but with freezing temperatures. I then collected the bodies and made food for my carnivorous pets and animals.
i don't know wtf this is, but i see sethtzeentach, i click
One of RimWorld's greatest feats is it's modability, one of my mods enables infectious diseases. And long story short there was a colony that I didn't like but I couldn't go to war with them because they will flatten me so what I did was send a man with every communicable disease known to humans and spread his germs on their colony anti-mask activist style
It's called a buffet of squirrels.
I use the prison labor mod along with the Quarry mod and have a large prison deep inside a mountain for all the people who've tried to attack my colony, payment is one lung and kidney and a life of mining resources and cutting stone blocks, they're fed via a nutrient paste dispenser which makes its paste out of rice and human meat from the dead, the prisoners wear human leather jackets made from their fallen comrades and if they decide and try to break out then using the Vanilla Expanded furniture-power mod I pump Helixan gas (basically natural gas) into the prison turning it into a gas chamber, the survivors get medical treatment while the dead get turned into food and clothes for the survivors
The best thing about this is all this is only vanilla not royalty dlc and the best part MODS
I got a steam copy of the game. Gonna play it tomorrow! ❤️.
for those who haven't played before, be warned, your newborn puppies will drink all your alcohol and give themselves liver failure
Absolutely give Rimworld a shot, It's a ton of fun. Relatively easy to get into, as well, compared to similar games.
There is a multiplayer mod for it called Zetrith's Multiplayer Mod, but it's somewhat prone to desyncs from what I've seen.
As for my craziest deathtrap, well, I used a terrain generation mod to change the area I settled in into a cove with only one way in or out of the map, through a river. Then I built a bridge that led from one mountain to another on that river and then built a wall on that bridge.
Nothing could get in or out of my cove without my permission without the use of drop pods. Animals still tried to migrate to my cove, but they were stuck outside because of the wall. Because there was nothing to eat, they all eventually started to starve. By complete accident, one of my colonists dropped a meal just outside the doors to my wall. Soon enough, tons of starving animals were rushing towards it.
Since Rimworld is a game about being a bad person in a bad place, I immediately took advantage of the opportunity to hunt the local starving wildlife from the safety of my wall using food as bait, including some rare thrumbos, which are like unicorns but with swords for horns. Normally very very deadly to your colonists, but they can't really decapitate a wall.
i built into a mountian and made a bunker then made the only entrance a kill box with flamethrowers out of the wall not that creative it but worked and it gave us food
Rimworld is my second most played game on steam, right behind EU4.
My funniest time in rim world was when my Freezer turned into a Seven faction war... No I Wont Elaborate.
look at his Cataclysm: Dark days ahead review
it's a shame he doesn't reviewed it with one of the warcrime mods....
I enslaved my raiders and put them to work in a factory and farm. Eventually they beccame indoctrinated and forgot what freedom was like. They got positive mood boosts from being enslaved. They also would defend the base with their lives.
You guys should check out Max0r's "Incorrect Summary" vids. I'd personally recommend his Devil May Cry 5 review. It's in two parts, though it isn't all that long.
"I hope Dante gets to Nero soon instead of fucking with a bike."
*NOW IT'S TIME TO FUCK WITH A BIKE."*
I usually make gas chambers with multiple entry points.. will they die from poison?, enrage gas?, acid perhaps.. the options are limitless with the mods available...
I'm a fan of the romanian corpse freezer myself tbh
Please watch his video on Kenshi.
One day a lighting ingnite my electrical system... right next my mortar shells deposit, with to Antigrain warhead (basically nuke). The deposit... was made of wood, and it catch fire...
Best part if rimworld child raids hehehe sending child with power amour to enemy base and let them go in child labor
do the cultivation one from sseth
If its not a thunder of squirrels then... well idc, you're wrong lmfao
