Turkey Sitting & Worm Tending - Rimworld Royalty Extreme Desert Ep. 4 [Rimworld Naked Brutality]

In this episode of Rimworld Royalty, we continue our Naked Brutality run in the extreme desert. Still suffering from gut worms, our tribal colonist Steak continues to battle against his insatiable hunger. A lucky cargo pod of chicken meat saves the day and allows Steak to complete a few small quests. He is asked to do some Turkey sitting and to defend two of the birds against enemies but with food being scarce, Steak solves the quest in his own way – by slaughtering the Turkeys for himself. However, things go according to plan during the construction of a monument for the mighty empire and Steak earns a bit more of the precious royal favor. As a small trade caravan passes by, Steak even buys himself a nice bolt-action rifle and some medicine, before visiting the neighboring tribe again to exchange Jade for food. Two wandering Dromedaries and a crashed escape pod then provide plenty of food as well as a potential colonist – until an infection quickly shuts down that hope. Still, Steak is able to gain some valuable medical expertise, which will hopefully aid in curing his gut worms…

The Extreme Desert is Rimworld’s hottest biome. Full of sand and dirt, the extreme desert does not offer a lot of room for plants and animals, so food is scarce and whatever is acquired will spoil quickly. The heat also poses a constant threat for colonists, always putting them at risk of suffering a heatstroke. Tribes and more advanced civilizations also tend to stay in the more moderate regions, so finding other settlements to trade with (or to attack) is not so easy.

We are starting with a modified Rimworld Naked Brutality scenario, leaving our starting colonist with no food, items or equipment to start his journey in the extreme desert – not even clothes. We are also making our starting colonist a member of a tribe, reducing the amount of technologies available at the start of the game and severely lowering the speed with which new projects are unlocked.
The goal of this Rimworld Royalty Extreme Desert Challenge is to start with absolutely nothing in the extreme desert with a single tribal colonist and survive for as long as possible – ideally until we are able to escape the planet. With the Rimworld Royalty DLC, we also see the introduction of a mighty empire with access to hyper-advanced technology who might occasionally seek us out to aid in certain quests – and who might award us royal titles and exciting psychic powers in exchange.

Rimworld is a Sci-Fi colony builder simulation game focused on managing a small group of survivors with the goal of eventually building a space ship to escape the planet. Rimworld is developed and published by Ludeon Studios. After a successful Kickstarter campaign, the game went through several Alpha and Beta versions before seeing the release of the Rimworld 1.0 version in October 2018. With the Rimworld 1.1 update and the Rimworld Royalty DLC, a lot of new content has been added to the game, including a mighty empire, new weapons and items, a quest system and much more.

All Rimworld Royalty gameplay for this Rimworld Royalty Extreme Desert Challenge was recorded on the PC in 1080p Full HD.

Steak is still battling gut worms – but not only that: Dromedaries, pirates and a general lack of food all make life difficult for our colonist in the Extreme Desert.

When I saw the dying colonist, my first thought was "Well at least Steak has more meat now... oh wait, wrong Rimworld series!" Thanks Pete!

[lumpycaptain]

Hey Pete you should consider disabling the “accept royal favour” in the quests tab as this means you will get other rewards offered such as silver, items, colonists and goodwill etc. Also I think levelling up steaks royal favour should wait until there are other colonists as higher levels will raise steaks expectations 👍

[affandede]

Hell yeah. I was one of those "playing is more fun than watching" guys but watching other people's stories is so captivating when it comes to Rimworld. And Pete of course.


Edit: Also, Slaughterhouse feels like an apt name for the colony.

[NordRunes]

Consider doing a summary of Steaks skills, just showing bio screen, at the end of the episode. Love your vids!

[matthewlee]

Thank you Pete for helping us all through the struggle with boredom of staying at home! Always a delight to see a new episode pop up from you! Greetings from Australia and keep up the amazing content!

[zacharia]

The Extremists is my best guess at a name.
Love the series.

There is a mod that will "ding" when the colonist goes up a level. I think that would be a very nice addition, without changing gameplay too much.
