A masterpiece. With no time to play Rimworld I yet always feel compelled towards envious imaginings of similar gaming fulfilment only to find the DLCs cost more than the lint in my pockets and my tears are the only salve for my pain.
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.
My favorite way of playing RimWorld is by having the peaceful setting on, and just playing my dude having his weed plantation and making profit off of it
Best part of every AA video- the last 2 minutes where he just goes in hard and I end up existentially collapsing into myself and have to think about if I really exist or not.
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
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
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
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?
i didn't realize i commented this, but i queued up this video as i was launching my first ship. i have just beat the game for the first time. only took 2 years. yippee. what a beautiful coincidence.
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!
I always come back to this video, one of my favourite works you have ever done. Particularly by the time it reaches the end, where you speak the most enchanting and true of all words 13:02 for ref.
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.
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
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.
Probly wont see this but if you do, i hoped you make an overpowered colonist series with the sns:the true pinnacle of creation and prepare carefully mod and probobly other mods.Anyways nc video!!
Ok no challenge is impossible huh? I challenge you to kill every zombie in project zomboid in a month or less. Edit: without fire btw Second edit: must have desensitized perk, and all thumbs perk.
