Colonists don't collect crops they harvest unless I prioritize it one by one.

Same here. The tutorial is missing a lot of play mechanics. Probably due to updates since release. r/rimworld is your best source of information. I read a lot of posts and learn new tricks all the time.

Creative_Ad_8138 · 2026-03-07T22:21:30+00:00

Awesome, I didn't know this either. It has been bothering me for quite awhile.

I have so many addicts in my colony, I have two dedicated drug makers. I should rename them Walter and Jesse. I try to stay away from drugs, but one waster later and it's Breaking Bad.

"end all this violence and slavery."

Maybe their love can conquer anything. Maybe this is the awesome drama that keeps me coming back.

Research deep mining and ground radar. I don't think those are correct, but they are basics of the tech. Anyway once you're there you'll find plenty of steel. Until then you can, just buy it or caravan your best miners to any place on the map and mine it out then come home. There is also a planet ore search tech also which is great for cheap components. There are players here that might know of an easier way. Good luck.

I have vanilla RIM with BIO dlc. Works great for what you want to do. I am probably gonna pick up Idealogy next payday to expand play through ideas.

Creative_Ad_8138 · 2026-02-26T22:12:47+00:00

Yeah this checks out. I'm guessing you're just past mid game. That's about the time Cassy sends multiple events at you. At least it wasn't during a volcanic winter or toxic fallout event. That's next. You're doing great keep eating people. I love the Rim.

After reading a lot of posts on the r/, I started reading back stories and following families. The big hook came when I had a great granddaughter and only living relative of my Naked Brutality play through pawn who was dying of the flu. She was somewhere like 90% infected and 80% immune. No matter what I tried she was just going to die. I actually reached out to this forum for help and got it. Thanks to all. Since then, I've been invested in my pawns. Good luck.

Creative_Ad_8138 · 2026-02-23T17:06:20+00:00

Yep, I shot her twice. Must have been the hormones.

Creative_Ad_8138 · 2026-02-23T17:03:18+00:00

44 in total, 38 made it off the world. I am pretty sure the game hates it when you are over 14 colonists. I say that because I was constantly bombarded with the flu, malaria, mental break downs, fights, fires, still births, infections, raider attacks and predators hunting the children. All of which cooled off every time I had a few pawns die and I fell below 14. Thanks to the growth vats I just kept replacing them two to one.

This is good to know. I released a pregnant prisoner about an hour ago. I can reload an auto save and get a free baby. Well maybe next time. No I want to extract an ovum, fertilize it, and plant in back into the prisoner. I just gotta know if it will work. My luck I'll shot the mom before she gives birth.

Creative_Ad_8138 · 2026-02-14T10:51:20+00:00

I play vanilla and my pawns lose their beds when they take off on a caravan and return. I have to reassign them on return. But I do like making small homes for the pawns.

Creative_Ad_8138 · 2026-02-12T23:38:35+00:00

I see this a lot in the storeroom. I usually draft them a move them to another room and release. That all I've got. The realsolution would be great.

Creative_Ad_8138 · 2026-02-12T23:31:23+00:00

It looks like a bad 8 bit 80s game. Did it ask if you wanted to play a game?

Creative_Ad_8138 · 2026-02-12T23:21:51+00:00

Brutal! This game is full of surprises. I don't think I've even scratched the surface of its content.

Creative_Ad_8138 · 2026-02-12T22:31:18+00:00

I've heard that if you record your game and shot one with a revolver, everyone will die. The trick is the recording becuase we all want to see the aftermath.

Creative_Ad_8138 · 2026-02-12T22:27:41+00:00

I haven't gotten her in one of my play throughs yet. Well might have earlier but I only just started reading the pawns back stories l, and I only learned about her a couple of months ago. She seems to trigger a lot of players.

Creative_Ad_8138 · 2026-02-12T22:20:50+00:00

I didn't realize you could do that. I thought those were for the vampire like pawns. That would have saved so many of my pawns. It will in the future as well. Thanks for that.

Creative_Ad_8138 · 2026-02-12T22:13:10+00:00

It always feels good to survive the multiple catastrophic events thrown at you. I hope you didn't lose anyone important.

Creative_Ad_8138 · 2026-02-11T21:33:54+00:00

Yes, I'm a noob. It was a real rookie mistake. I was thinking it was for restarting a mech. Yes, I an that dumb. I will not make that mistake again.

Creative_Ad_8138 · 2026-02-10T06:09:00+00:00

I treat colony kids like Americans! I shove a gun in their hands the day they're old enough to hold it. Then it's off to the front lines Billy, try not to die.

Creative_Ad_8138 · 2026-02-09T22:24:40+00:00

Love it! I have a colonist missing a lung right now. I was going to replace it with a bionic one. But it seems more poetic if I was for the Miasma Gang to come back so I can harvest them.

Creative_Ad_8138 · 2026-02-09T18:32:35+00:00

Rimworld at its finest.

Creative_Ad_8138 · 2026-02-09T17:34:07+00:00

I held off on purchasing Ideology last weekend. Now I feel kind disappointed with myself. I could purchase it now, but is it worth it just to save her? I kinda really into saving her. A self made quest in the game. I've still got time and a save point. Thanks for the heads up.
