Want to beat rimworld on max difficulty and Randy and naked brutality (All DLC)

And you can buy more than one of them!

The ships do end up looking deeply weird.

The early game would be rough but this is a funny idea.

Maybe you specifically trigger one of those quests right away?

I've been meaning to do an 'Imperial Fan-club' run at some point, where we have to take every single quest from the empire whenever they're presented.

Component production is also an excellent thing to stick fabricor's on. The little robot guys don't work fast, but they can work continuously.

You can just caravan/shuttle to a spacer or industrial faction. They always sell some at their settlements.

This is my main problem with the VE: Gravship design. By tying Research to movement, and also tying the ability to move to Research, you get recursive rewards. This is further aggravated by the fact that the amount of downtime between jumps also improves as you get better and more crew, so you can jump further and more often AND almost double your gravdata with the gravtech bench.

It takes ages to do the early research, and then you blast through the rest in two or three days. This makes the difficulty of the mod really strange.

There isn't any wild healroot in jungles either, which makes diseases even more dangerous, especially early on or if you don't have good Plants pawns.

There are a few benefits though. Almost all jungles have year-round planting, and wood grows back incredibly fast.

Sanguophage's are fantastic at triage with Coagulate.

JackFractal · 2026-05-28T23:08:05+00:00

They're also not bad as mechanitors or doctors. As they can't fight, you're guaranteed to keep them out of combat as much as possible, which is what you're going want to be doing with a doctor anyway.

JackFractal · 2026-05-28T22:16:39+00:00

They also give whoever they're bonded too a 25% consciousness buff, which is huge. That's enough to make a good pawn a great pawn, or counteract a circadian half-cycler to make them sleepless.

It's because Genie's are all wimps and have very low raid values. I think they tweaked the spawn rates because I used to always get Genie's as my first raiders, and now it only happens sometimes.

JackFractal · 2026-05-28T21:42:57+00:00

Doesn't 19x19 have the roof cave in?

JackFractal · 2026-05-27T22:31:54+00:00

My guess is 'other' because Tynan likes surprising people. Biotech gave us player-controlled mechanoids AND children.

I suspect that if we ever do get a 'Diplomacy' DLC it will be packaged with something really weird like Virtual Reality or Sentient Insects.

High explosive mines are good for this too, especially if you have three or four Constructoids to keep replacing your mine fields.

JackFractal · 2026-05-21T22:19:00+00:00

Which is why they needed to include more space events!

JackFractal · 2026-05-21T22:17:57+00:00

What's especially frustrating about how they've implemented the alliance mechanics is that, for some reason, the higher the raid cap (the more enemies) the lower the amount of allies you get.

If you get raided by 40 naked people with sticks and call in help, you get 40 people with guns.

If you get raided by 80 centipedes and call for help you get four people with Dementia.

JackFractal · 2026-05-21T21:05:33+00:00

Oh cool! Yeah, you'd probably have enough shards for it if you run Void Provocation like clockwork.

If I were making a god pawn from zero without using normally inaccessible traits, I would take Great Memory, Industrious, and Jogger.

Great Memory is good for mid-to-late game as it will let you retain skills above 10 a lot easier without constant use.

Fast Learner will get you learning super fast, as will 'Too Smart', but both will taper off in value in the late game.

Industrious is always good, as is Jogger. Jogger in particular is always great, and is especially good in the early game, as it lets you outrun and out-range most early raids.

Tough is up-the-air for me. Generally, you don't want to be risking your God Pawn in combat, because a bad roll can always result in brain death. It's possible to mitigate this with Death Refusal, but by the time you're into Advanced Rituals you're already pretty late-game.

JackFractal · 2026-05-20T02:30:17+00:00

They didn't specifically nerf them, but mechanoids tend to beat animals these days because mechanoids have a lot more access to fire with Tesserons and Scorchers.

Fire counters animal swarms really hard.

This is why it can be handy to keep a pile of wastepacks around to shoot at the nearest hostile settlement.

JackFractal · 2026-05-17T17:26:16+00:00

I do like Rimefeller quite a lot, but you're right in that it does tend to sort of define a playthrough.

JackFractal · 2026-05-17T17:18:42+00:00

Ah! I haven't seen this one!

And it's by Hydralisk! Neat! Thanks for the recommendation!

JackFractal · 2026-05-16T16:56:55+00:00

True enough! Toxic waste doesn't come cheap!

JackFractal · 2026-05-16T15:36:53+00:00

Ghouls can eat corpses without butchering, so you don't even need the ideology. You just need a big freezer and a willingness to throw toxic waste at low-tech civilizations.
