I have literally never played this game before or watched anyone else play it. I have no clue why I find your videos exclusively addictive to watch, I'm not sure whether to ask for help or to thank you

Well I found these videos a month ago and I simple cannot get enough!(binge watched all series) I think lol. The story telling is simply unmatched and so enjoyable. I look forward to seeing more rimworld vidoes! Thank you
I've done a pacifist run myself, and its honestly mostly just boring- I didn't use any mods, it turns out you can get extremely far just cowering inside your granite house, letting the raiders burn all your crops every once in a while, and never sending out caravans with anything not completely expendable lest they get ambushed. you don't need traps or anything, just let every threat tire itself out or fight each other.
I was hoping you'd continue with this concept and make it a series! Obviously it'll be a struggle to keep the colony alive, but that's why we watch these videos! We would like to know if you can actually pull it off till the end!
After watching this, Ive decided to undertake the unusually difficult challenge of not drinking alcohol for the next 100 days so that I can suffer the world like the rest of my fellow humans... Deadass though philosophical frog, if you see this and like/comment on it I'll do it
Wow never heard of this game or Project Zomboid, but dang man you have a way of making them look great. 👏 keep up the great work. Loving the content so far.
Simple Turrets has stun turrets Vanilla Security Expanded also adds new turrets but I don't remember if there are nonlethal ones Does using turrets counts for pacifism, at least if the turrets are nonlethal?
Ichabod in a certain language means "thoughts and feelings", which could mean that your colonist by the name of Ichabod primarily thinks about establishing peace and feels the need to establish peace in this RimWorld.
Mr Amphibian, you don't need traps or elaborate defenses to play a pacifist lifestyle. Simply build a wall around your colony, then put a stock pile outside of it. So long as the wall holds (make it 3 blocks thick just in case), the raiders will notice the goods and simply take them away. Cheap, non-perishable stuff works best, like steel. Weed would also work for this kind of style, thematically at least.
I wouldn't say this is a perfect version of communism, it's an ok version of a sorta local command economy controlled by a omnicent dictator Like a homestead with a dictator Where everyone has to do what's needed, as dictated by you

@@thxobama Ah, does that force all other factions to do the same? I never played with a fixed era.

I've got an idea for you AA. 100 person colony, except they're all pyromaniacs.
How long until there's only one colonist left?
pyromaniacs can't fight fires either, those two traits always go together, so it would only last a day or so!
