New to the channel? I do Let's Play videos -- these are like walkthrough guides of gameplay with continuous English commentary trying to explain my decisions and what strategy I use. If you're looking for hacks or cheats, you're in the wrong place!

Pretty sure the trade ship would have bought the fine meals, but you don't have a trade beacon in the fridge.

Absolutely godly YouTuber status for hearing the community on continuing this truly interesting and tutorial esk playstyle of this LP and making longer videos 🙏💯📈 we appreciate you Quill 😁🤙

45:00 Quill's unwillingness to put in an appropriate response immediately after something happens will never cease to amaze me. How many times do you have to "Oh it'll be fi- Nevermind it's not fine" before you adapt your behavior.

So sad about Skye but you just threw her into the creamator!! >:(

[Artemiska]

I love how kiwi went I to berserk rage when her owner died :(

For any Beginner, to avoid confusion where enemy drop pods might land (5:50) you can look out for shadows on the floor. If you look around a little bit, most of the times you will be able to spot a group of shadows on the ground indicating the drop zone. That way you can prepare your pawns better and bring them to more advantage position.
This doesn't matter if you play to fail (for viewer entertainment for example), but otherwise every second helps.

Also, like Quill did, after a fight always check for enemies still on the map. Sadly Rimworld doesn't have a enemy on the map indicator/notification so you will need to look around a bit (specially important after Mechanoid raids - don't want to overlook a Mech or Scyther still running around and catching your pawns off guard)

9:35 Vanilla pawns will occasionally pray at graves of your dead colonist pawns; they won't pray at the grave of non-colonist members. I can't remember if they'll pray at graves of dead bonded pets

14:35 Any animal(s) (other than dogs for some reason) that are part of a caravan can usually forage for food on the way (weather/biome permitting); there's usually no need to bring animal food in a caravan

Oh no! poor Skye!! RIP.

I'm really enjoying this series though... I decided to check out this game the other day and found it really confusing so this is super helpful and also fun and relaxing to have on while I work.

I love how you are so polite to your pawns, with pleases and thank yous and apologizing for waking them up. It's awesome :D

Fob savage eating fine meal over Skye's corpse

21:50 I'm shocked quill didn't go for precision rifling with how much he loves assault rifles, even with the component cost

[timk]

Wow, I started playing rimworld since you made your first playtrough Alpha 8, watched en played the game alot, since a few years ago. This series made me install the game again and play it for hours today. I did watch your channel for years, but also stopped 😔 I subscribed again!

[EdwardNoguera]

Sad but not sad enough to create a sarcophagus which pawns will observe for recreation 😔

[lucazl]

Love this series. Really helping me to get into the game.

[shdwbnndbyyt]

That trader had 139 neutroamine at 7.01 each.... I thought you needed some... although later you could farm the boomrats for it...

[dargaronsoftsong]

Just a note: you can guarantee that an NPC pawn will survive being downed if they're downed by anything that isn't an injury. Things like Blood Loss or Heatstroke will bypass the usual roll for instant death.

I tend to keep the map clear of predators, just so I don’t have to deal with being hunted.

[J.F.K.O]

i usually make a room out in nowhere to store corpses, leave it unroofed and they may disappear by them self. And if it gets full i use molotovs and make a room cremater :P

[Palocles]

When you gonna pop open that ancient manace?

[owbu]

Whats with all the tiny animal skeletons in your storage? Its creepy :D

[Carolus_REX]

Is there a way to get rid of animal skeletons in your storage?
