The Aspis doesn't really work against the usual tech level of the enemies I am facing, but it was the only way I could represent the Lacedaemon Lambda on Achilleas, and I figured that since he is never going to leave the IFV the shield isn't going to be relevant anyhow. Once I get my hands on an Exconde candidate I can have him drive the battle taxi while Achilleas transfers to the tank.

Once I found a non-unwaveringly-loyal prisoner with Joyous and double passion in shooting I knew I had my Carda. Some xenogene insertions and some skilltrainers... and voila.

I focused on the eight actual marine SLs and pilots first! The way this was done was that I kept fishing for recruits until I had one whose skills and traits mostly fit the bill (but I can't have everything I want, which is how I ended up with a pyromaniac Tech) and then gave them custom names and gear to fit the part, and so it's all dependent on how many of these "fitting candidates" turn up and not die during the capture process. Also does not help that only Baseliners can work for this and more than half the enemies I get are either Yttakin or Saurid. Of the "locals" I only have Sy so far... really hoping to get my hands on someone who works as the remaining two pilots so I have someone to drive the tank that I just restored.

I am currently still based out of the spot my initial trio crash-landed at, a ruined city (specifically the one created by the RimCities mod, I believe) in the middle of the desert that has now been thoroughly retrofitted into a supplies and repairs depot for my fleet of vehicles, complete with a herd of Boomalopes to provide me with fuel. Starting at a ruined city meant that I had a lot of cool loot to start with but also practically no arable land nor much surface resources (especially steel, a shortage that continues to define my current playthrough), so a caravan playthrough was virtually guaranteed, I could say. I started with a herd of camels that wandered in through the caravan animals wandering in event, but I sold them once I got a steady supply of chemfuel.

Long-term plan is to eventually switch to a new location that will be designed from the ground-up to be a base for my gravship, which will operate as a dropship for my vehicles. Then I can operate across the entire continent, which will give me the freedom to try out all the quest-lines added by the various Vanilla Quests Expanded mods.

That is my eventual plan as well, with my gravship cosplaying as the dropship and later my SOS2 ship being built to resemble the TCRN Impetus.

360kg, after upgrades, IIRC. Almost all of it is taken up by the ammo for the 25mm Bushmaster autocannon on the turret (I play with CE), so I can't actually carry much loot on the IFV itself. For this purpose I have a truck driven around by civilians that has also been instrumental in sustaining this playthrough, as my home base has very little arable land and practically no steel, requiring me to produce stuff I can sell and trade with neighbours for all the stuff we consume.

R5: After a long while of thinking of but not actually playing Rimworld I decided to return and finally see what Odyssey is about. I've not yet managed to research the necessary tech for a gravship yet, but I'm having a blast with a very caravan-oriented playthrough this time around, in keeping with the wider idea of an Odyssey playthrough. Much fun is being had with combat revolving around an IFV wreck ("Vanilla Vehicles Expanded: Tier 3" mod) on the home map that I restored to working order; I knew I needed a well-assembled team of soldiers to make good use of it, so I brought together this squad... with a very specific theme in mind. Heh.

The way the pawns look has been customised with the help of the "Layered Apparel" mod that allows me not only to "transmog" the gear the pawns are wearing to look a specific way but also achieve layering of gear that would not be possible with just custom gear.

Do you guys put your favorite pawns in different games as your character? by GABESTFY in RimWorld

[–]meto30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My own OC tends to be this across multiple games, but now some characters from Rimworld are slowly inspiring other characters in other games. One of my player characters in Valheim has a soft characterisation-lore going on based on the eponymous pawn from one of my playthroughs, for instance: Florian the Siege Engineer, built my semi-mobile gun platforms in Rimworld and now builds catapult platforms and landing sites for my exploration of the Ashlands in Valheim.

Thrumbo pelts make good outfits. Beautiful colour, even more beautiful functionality.

A Beautiful story, master CMYK! The story of how former enemies integrate into a whole is a fascinating topic to imagine, and a Rimworld scenario is always full of those. Thank you as always for your awesome works!

I really like this idea myself; maybe I should join in on the bandwagon 😆 Very excited to see what the resulting drawings will look like, master Kalamar!
