    For prisons, I recommend having a room that is absolutely horrendous as well, to help speed up Ideological conversion. Low mood means a higher chance of the pawn suffering a crisis of faith, dramatically lowering their certainty or even changing their ideology entirely. Once they are converted you can move them to the recruitment side, which has all the amenities needed to speed up the process.

      That can work, but they actually get converted (and recruited) faster if they have high mood. I’ve found if you have enough wardens so they are consistently getting converted on cooldown having a nice prison is best, but if you don’t have enough wardens then gambling on crisis of faith isn’t a bad idea.

      This tip isn't as useful as you might think. Research rooms & hospitals are places where pawns work, so if it gets too cold the activities inside are significantly slowed. Which can kill in a hospital, & waste days of productivity in a lab.
      Not to mention the necessarily complex arrangement to handle & move heat beneath a mountain.
      If you're that paranoid about insects, mass produce shotguns & maces. Insects are massive, melee-oriented menaces vulnerable to blunt damage. Shotguns stagger/shred at close range & maces stun/pulverize with rapid blows.
      Edit from the future!: I did the math, & the bad temperature mallus reduces productivity at any book bench by 35%. Which is huge.

    1. You need space for a heater and a light in your kitchen. Both cold temperatures and darkness threaten to reduce your cook's work speed.
    2. You should have clear paths between the rows of shelves in your freezer. Shelves significantly reduce pawns walking speed when moving over them which will slow down hauling after harvests and etc.
    3. You should not connect your kitchen directly to the freezer and should instead have the door into the kitchen's room very close to an entrance to the freezer. This prevents the heater in the kitchen from impacting the freezer and vice versa.

      Unfortunately that's not all that possible vanilla. But VE let's you set up prepared killing fields.
      Barbed wire is beautiful. Lining it up against walls prevents organic tunnelers from attempting to breach your walls while you can set up zigzagging approach patterns that delay incoming melee troops to be shot to pieces as they're caught in the open.
      Meanwhile, decoys can distract ranged enemies, giving your pawns crucial seconds for their own attacks. And putting the dummies behind sandbags & barbed wire can significantly increase their lifespan.

      Same. For instance, I always space furniture out so it looks like pawns can reach them. That room of wall-to-wall shelves Noobert showed is something I would never be able to let myself build. That said, I think you can still make a good looking base that's still at least 90% the efficiency of a min-maxed design. A lot of the design rules for efficiency (putting stockpiles near workstations, paving and lighting walking paths, etc.) work with any aesthetic. Mods can help make up the difference if you still want to play on the highest difficulties.

    Not so much a base building tip as a QOL. If you have vampires in your colony a great way to ensure you always have fresh blood available without the risk of prisoners escape is to install and then remove bionic spines in one or more captured pawns leaving them paralyzed. Now you have a living hemogen farm that you can totally neglect except occasionally feeding without the risk of any bad consequences. And if you decide you could use that pawn you can always reinstall the spine. Its a good way to keep a lot of prisoners too for whatever reason. Cruel, I know but lets face it, we've done worse.

      That's just better solution overall. Two logs are much cheaper than a bionic spine and easier to come by, the surgery itself is simpler and therefore much less chance to botch, even if you do - it's just logs, and consequences of a fail most likely won't be dangerous (even better, dumb doc may "accidentally" cut off a leg and that's exactly what you want)

    With biotech, zones can be used to prevent kids from wandering too far out for their recreation as they can wander into a rather hungry animal or other hostile entities for nature walks when not set. simply having it highlight a well-defended exterior by walls or relatively close to the colony and not in the wilderness along with the safe areas in the base will be enough to satisfy their learning outside.

    • @TrollOfReason
      @TrollOfReason 9 місяців тому +4

      I keep two zones for kids & pawns incapable of violence: Safe & RED ALERT
      Safe is as it implies, it's behind the walls but nowhere an undrafted child should be, IE: shell or chemfuel bunkers. It's a zone where kids & wimps can work & play without worry, while specifically preventing kids from wandering too far from their lessons.
      RED ALERT is where I send my non-combatants when I'm under serious attack. Usually a prepared bunker with controlled fire lanes, reinforced entryways, a cache of survival meals/pemmican, medicine & building materials to seal everyone in. It's kept away from the warehouse or freezer because if it's ever truly needed, the wealth/nutrition there will be a better distraction than anything else. Hopefully letting my children & their chaperones leave to begin elsewhere after raiding the bunker for supplies, if things get truly dire against raiders or insects.
      Obviously, the bunker doesn't work for Mechanoids, & if things go south I don't waste time holing up so much as I just form a hasty caravan & run, if I can.

    I admit I wondered at some of this advice, but then I remembered this is for Vanilla RimWorld and I play with so many mods my computer take like ten minutes to start up the game.
    Myself I prefer to build a main stockpile for all my non-food items large enough to make full use of the orbital trade beacon radius, and then build the workshop in a room attached to it so my pawns don't have to go far for materials. Not as efficient as the shelves thing, and I might try that if I find I need to mass-produce something (like one of those trade/caravan quests that ask you for 33 Bowler hats or something ridiculous like that), but still not so bad for most tasks. I then set the freezer stockpile to filter only food and other goodies I want preserved (like healroot) and crank it up to "preferred" so that pawns will still store food in the main stockpile if there's an overflow, but quickly move stuff to the freezer when space opens up.
    But then I'm also a loser who only plays on easier difficulties because I find the management and building more fun than constant suffering, so what I say might not work with people playing on a proper difficulty level.

    Additional hospital tips: If you're running transhumanists, biosculptor pods can do things that hospitals can't because any pawn inside enters suspended animation, so in situations where a pawn has a case of an infectious disease that is outstripping their rate of immunity gain, it can save their life. (This is prone to hapen with elderly pawns I've found.) Biosculptor pods run on nutrition and can fuction even if no doctors are present at all.
    Even if you don't run vampires, it's a great idea to farm some hemogen packs because these can be administered through the health tab as a blood transfusion to treat blood loss. Treating a pawn's wounds stops blood loss and reduces the odds of an infection, but it isn't always enough to save their life if they've already lost too much blood. This handily counters that as the game isn't fussy about blood types or anything.
    Surgery succsess is based on medicine quality, hospital quality, medical skill, but also sight and manipulation. Any debuff to these last two for any reason makes your doctor totally useless for complex surgery and they'll just botch everything, so if you have a pigskin paramedic like I do, use another, more competent, doctor to give her a bionic eye and any consciousnes buff you can find, to counteract the trotter hands manipulation debuff. Elongated fingers and prehensile tails are great little bonuses for custom races/xenograms you might like for your doctor pawns.

    This is great, though I would say its more like 'how to build a simple base effectively' rather than efficient, or there is room for improvements. Safe working temperature is 5, so you'll get a -40% work speed cooking in the freezer. Also, if you have a lot of people or mechs, single doors (lacking gap) and 1 thick walls will struggle to keep it cool, and in higher temps/heat wave, you're toast. If I were to recommend an efficient tip, and sticking with cooking/freezer, it would be to wrap your butcher table in walls, and put the door where your pawn stands. This minimizes footprint and keeps the filth of the table contained to the table/room itself.

    i alwas go for 3x3 rooms because you can fit in just the bed and the furniture, plus since my base design is nearly always a squaretown, they're pretty spaced out just enough to have a corridor between them (i'm a 9x9 inner space room fan)

    1) put a fridge in the hospital and set it to store meds at a high priority. Keeps anything from going to waste.
    2) Use walls and a double door system for pens instead of fencing/gates. Keeps predators away from your tames, and with the right settings on the doors keeps tames in.
    3) have your storage room connected to the outer perimeter of your base and build an animal flap going outside the base. This allows select tames to carry goods to/from storage without filthing up the entirety of your base.
    3) build a smaller storage room inside your storage room and lock it off so slaves can't go in. Store your armor, weapons, and anything else you don't want slaves having access to inside the smaller section.

    Kitchen tip is very, very good. Keep cooking area small to avoid accumulation of dirt.
    Also - butcher somewhere else. DO NOT EVER keep butchering table in the same area as your cooking station.
    One thing to note about freezer - if you have exits to warmer rooms, make "blast doors" - a short pathway with a door, 1-2 tiles empty space and another door. This way you will minimise the amount of heat seeping into the freezer - this can be pretty important in warmer climates and when pawns tend to eat and bring ingredients to the freezer constantly.
    If you have Royalty expansion - combine dining room, rec room and throne room. Just remember - if you are using nutrient paste dispenser - the dispenser must be in another room, so just make an alcove and keep the door open.

    "25 tiles from fridge"- some huge NB! pawns will take food with them often, they may start searching for the table while being somewhere far away from base. So it may be useful to build some pillboxes combined with dining tables around the map or add dining tables to geotherm fortifications.

    With guides like this, I see why so many new players burn their base down, then when they finally learn not to build tinderboxes, they start exploding their wealth to pull massive raids. No part of this is efficient unless you're playing a pure casual run with raids turned off.

    Instead of having the hospital near the main entrance, I like to have it somewhere safe and secure, and accessible from the rest of the base, but have a bunch of tiny "triage rooms" all over the base (in case of a drop-pod attack or an infestation). Basically just a small room with a few beds (or just sleeping spots, if resources are tight) and a loose stack of herbal medicine. It also serves as the "prisoner processing" room, for the enemies you want to keep alive.
    It allows the pawns to be hauled there and tended to just to stop the bleeding, before being safely moved to the main hospital for recuperation and any potential surgeries.
    Can be "minified" to just a shelf of herbal medicine placed here and there around the base, so medicine is always at hand, no matter where the pawns are, and you just hand-place medical sleeping spots in the moment, depending on the location of wounded pawns.
    Keeping ALL your pawns (not just doctors) stacked with 3 medkits is also a good way to increase survivability - even the non-medic pawns can just drop their share of medicine right next to a field medic who is administering first aid. Just place the medical sleeping spot literally under the downed pawn, and you're gonna patch them up the second any medic gets to them.

    I like to build what I refer to as a 'clinic' just inside the walls of my base to pull pawns to for quick treatment (i.e. stop them bleeding out), before taking them to the central hospital room inside. Sometimes you just don't have time for your pawns to carry their bleeding out comrades all the way inside, so having a small inner room with a few medical marked beds and a shelf of herbal medicine really does help save lives. x.x;
    But it's only for bleeding wounds and in very bad situations I might just tend them enough that they have a much longer 'bleed out' timer before I get someone to carry them inside to make room for the next emergency case. ^^;

    Here's a tip for hospitals: You can afford to put it pretty much anywhere you like if you have vampires because vampires can tend wounds in the field instantaneously using coagulate. So you no longer have to worry about pawns that you're taking prisoner bleeding out before they receive medical attention, however, I reccomend slotting it in near the residencial area/agricultural sector as this keeps it close to the doctor (unless you build a seperate bedroom for them next to the hopital) and a supply of healroots so they can be quickly transported inside. I also reccomend building shelves to house body parts you plan to install via surgery less so you can stockpile them and more so that they don't get buried in the warehouse somewhere because your doctor will need to excavate it out again if it does happen to get thrown in there.
    Vampires are melee specialists, so they're always on the front lines, often within spitting distance of downed raiders, but a particularly intense raid can leave the vampires downed as well, so I reccomend keeping a vampire specialized in shooting as well as a backup medic so they can tend to desirable prisoners or the other vampires. Even though vampires are almost unkillable, cannot suffer infections, and recover from wounds very fast, you still want to tend to them to preserve their mood, stop them from "dying" and entering involuntary deathrest which casues them to lose experience points, or worse in criticaal condition. A vampire in critical condition because their wounds weren't tended can't wake from deathrest until they receive medical attention.
    This is a problem if you wind up in the situation I did where my vampire was wounded -- not even downed -- by a cougar and happend to be the only colonist capable of care work of any kind (the other two at the time being a child and a psychopath.) As a result, she was stuck in deathrest for about 30 ingame days because of a couple of fractures until I stumbled onto a pawn with a medical skill of _one_ who was about to incompetently dab her wounds with alchohal or whatever and her nanites finally did the job of reviving her.
    I generally don't bother putting healroot in the fridge as it last 90 days anyway and prefer to just have a shelf right there in the hospital. I don't have to worry too much about having large reserves of medicine because I tend to play with vampires and as transhumanists, which gives me multile options for tending to wounds: I can spend bloodpacks to coagulate wounds or use biosculptor pods on medic cycle to pick up any slack left by my healroots rotting in storage.

    For mountain bases, be careful building anything that isn't under a mountain. Thin and artificial roofs do nothing to stop an invasion, and raiders love drop-podding into your base, so they'll definitely pick those spots.
    Build around them, fill them in, or put traps in them.
    And also I've seen people use intentionally super dirty rooms to force insect invasions to spawn there and not anywhere else.

  • @michaeldeters1331

    I always find it useful to have a dead power spot where you can reconnect anything that’s drawing power. That way when your batteries are low, you can prioritize what’s actually important to keep on
    It’s always faster than the pawns doing it and is great for turning off turrets to save them from destruction in raids or against bugs
    Really useful early game when pawns are limited and resources are thin. It becomes less and less viable the later into the colony’s life where pawns increase and there are stockpiles of resources
