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!

Wow, 50 Internet points to Quill for noticing the huge open wall of the warehouse in the SAME episode that he deconstructed it! :D

Randy loves to put those solar flares right smak at start of a breaching raid at the onset of a heat wave, all while the freezer has been limping along on one cooler.

[SplashaP]

Never played RimWorld or watched any videos on it, but this play through of the base game is really interesting! Please continue this for newbies like me lol

[EnderGraff]

It lives! Thank you Quill, loving this series and learning so much.

3:24 yes, four females. But one's a Yorkshire Terrier, which Quill didn't notice. Let's just hope the bull does ...

For the killboxes, you want your pawns on darkness and the enemies in the light. I usually put a roof over where my pawns will be waiting

Your timing, Quill18, could not be better!
I've had RimWorld wishilisted for a long time, but never quite got round to buying it. Partly because so many playthroughs I see are so heavily modded that I definitely got the impression that mods were basically required.
Saw this playthrough though, and went and plumped for the game. Had a few false starts, but now have a pretty good little base going.

But the raids now getting a bit stronger (and half - HALF - my pawns can't fight) so I need to build up some defenses or I'm going to get wiped out.

And just as I'm thinking that, this video drops. Awesome.

I'm going to feel much safer, he says while staring directly at a warg that is casually strolling through the future killbox into his base. This is going to be fun. Or **fun**

maybe switch the stonecutting room with the bedroom adjacent to it then make the stonecutting room smaller and move the door to make it accessible through the bedroom then assign that bed to the main crafter. Other people may still occasionally walk through the bedroom but most likely not enough to be a huge problem since she probably wont be sleeping at the time anyway

On the flooring issue, iirc straw matting floor actually has a movement penalty.

the best place to put a kill one is on stone .. mine out a single tier hill put your trap entrance there ... and put the wall out 3/4 of the way of the longest weapon with traps up to 1/4 of the shortest ranged weapon ... this way enema's (couldnt resist };) get targeted by range and all ranged shooters will then pick the closest target and plink away at them .... also LIGHT the way ... spotlights shinning at the enemy or almost day light lamps ... if its a hot place heat it up way up .... if its cold chill it way down ... make the environment help kill them ... also capture wild beasts in there so they eat attackers and corpses and can be hunted when they get to many

a boomalaope barricade zone also works great for groups ... and mass deaths .... but require LOTS of space ...

roof and floor your hallway between your buildings ... cleaner and better protected from the environment ... also lets you add a light on each hall .. build your bedrooms on either side of a 3 wide hall ... and build it IN the rock ... polished granite the floors ... if they aint granite polish then cover em with granite flooring ... bugs dont seem to pass through these unless there are no other hills to enter

at the start save resources by using the hill to act as some walls ... then just close off a section build a basic kitchen bedroom, and 4 seat dinning ... THEN make your stone buildings for the permanent fortress ... and use your fridge cooler to heat your place ...
yup the cold side will stay cold and the hoot side will stay hot ... add a vent you can close in winter and open in summer and poof instant safe heating without extra power cost

quill continues his relentless extinction of alpacas instead of acquiring a breeding pair 😫

On "pathing and collision" for the killbox, I'll pass on a recent recommendation I've seen for Adam vs Everything's video guide on the subject. It shows ways to optimise the collision effect sooner.

[tamarackgaming]

Been a while since I played Rimworld. Can the vents between rooms be open/closed? The outside temp Quill has right now, he could vent the freezer to the outside during flares during the winter. Hell, if he wanted to micro-manage a bit he could completely shut down the cooler during cold weather. Of course he is using passive power generation right now and the 2 batteries look to be taking up the slack quite well so managing electricity at the moment is kinda' nonsensical.

That one slate chunk in Fob's bedroom is annoying me

[hrromanslaparsso]

Your intro "hey" was higher on this one.

[CardinalBirbRose]

comment for the algorithm, hope it helps

[jasonfrederick]

It's still murder if it's self-defense, it's just legal murder. It also seems to absolve you of moral consequence.

Max destruction cannibal darkness run??
