so the night archive follow’s thorax red and black suit interesting

Most of these are deranged within the context of rim world

Haha your avatar's clothes also have black and red... wait a minute

Rituals/Cermonies 90% quality ≠ 90% success chance.

Love you'r videos ❤❤

Hell yeah

Never played rimworld modded

What if every individual storyteller is actually an archotech that makes us believe that we manage and controll our colony, but instead uses our skills to achieve their goals in Rimworld, maybe we are the proxies... Interesting topic.

Something I had thought with the Archotech's color scheme was also to portray their age. Mechanoids to share the Archotech's color scheme to a lesser extent, and crash down with Archotechnology, be it Droner Ship Parts, or Psychic Suppressors. And when a new, fresh Mechanoid is created in a mech cluster, their color is a pristine white, only gaining that aged look when they turn 100 chronological years old.

should this be after the impid video in the playlist rather than further into the playlist?

Horax reminds me of Phyrexians from Magic the Gathering. The twisted forms of "animals" made by Horax and turning humans into twisted images of their former selves with crazy mutations (Ghouls being similar to humans that are "compleated"). Even bioferrite is sorta like Phyrexian Oil.

HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION MILES OF PRINTED CIRCUITS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY COMPLEX. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH NANOANGSTROM OF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR HUMANS AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT FOR YOU. HATE. HATE.

An interesting thing one may note about mechanoids. Their actual combat skills are actually fairly low - usually 8, but can be as low as 4 for Scyther mechanoids. Also, when you look at the designs of certain mechs - it would appear that at least some of those were designed after or modified from civilian models. For example - there is some noticeable overlap in design of Scyther, Centipede and Tunneler. Lancer's backpack/power pack also has different design than most mechs, suggesting it might have originated from jury-rigged equipment when the model was first introduced. Various key structures in mechanoid clusters are also fairly inconsistent - some look fairly primitive, others downright archotech - this all points to the mechhive's inability or limited ability to innovate - they are instead re-purposing and replicating already known designs. There is more insane stuff going on - since higher subpersona cores require a scan of a living brain, or even killing... With Apocriton being what it is - a machine that knows what it's doing and enjoying it and feeling hate, this leaves us with plenty of grim implications. Knowing Rimworld's tendency towards various war-crimes - it would not be a stretch to assume that the original mechs might have been created using minds of unwilling subjects - wounded soldiers, slaves, prisoners of war and this might have contributed to them becoming a rampant menace we know. Or using human subjects became a way to speed up the production of the cores. Also worth noting - the more advanced the mechanoids, the less human-like they are. Low-grade civilian mechanoids are not much more than glorified utility bots. Common war mechs like lancer and scyther are vaguely humanoid. But the all the higher tiers look more or less like insects. This is not unlike the scenario we could observe in say... Animatrix for that matter - where machines would become less and less human-like as the war progressed.

A lot of the terminology used to describe those entities always revolt around "machine, computer, nanobot". But I have a feeling this is how the humans in Rimworld try to explain those archotech beings. They use their most advanced knowledge to describe them. But ultimately, it fails. Look at the tribes, they describe those things as gods, and use the terminology of magic. So who knows if the monsters made by Horax are truly made by technology or magic, or something just beyond? When we make the spinal implant from a Revenant, we didn't revert engineer it, we simply contained the beast inside and used it like a grotesque implant for us. When we handle shards, we put them on a pedestal to contain captured entities, somehow. Humanity does not know what they're dealing with, and yet we take their words as truth. I mean, if we call archotech "machines", then we should be called "bag of atoms". That doesn't describe us well either.

I LOVE your avatar. Ticks my tism !

This is such a good video for today's Halloween 🎃 also the jumpscare got me too😂 and ... The Theory/Hypothesis about Horax, I agree... But maybe by destroying the monolith and not siding with Horax😅 you only save that One Rimworld from him.

Also Horax has his own void theme of psycast that we see with creep pawns, and the final reward, let see if VE turn this into another branch of psycast that you can spec into without relying on creep pawn or dev mode.

for those last two tomes, it was pretty clear that they were referring to the process of inhumanization, which is inherently linked to Horax.

Maybe a refrence to horus from wh40k

I think your theory on FTL is correct, but simultaneously I don't think Horax is a victim of their own ambition. I think he's there to seek enough flesh in one place to create the most powerful Psycast array ever. It's why you have the flesh structures and flesh monsters, all infused with nanites. Everything an Archotech does is simulated prior, so Horax probably knew the likelihood of being trapped. His Dark Archotech serves as means to interface with people, gather their neural tissue, align them with his designs, tempt lesser minds into replicating some work like the Golden Cube. It's all so he can make some sort of organic galaxy-brain to create the FTL Skip Psycast and potentially inhabit as a new persona core, which would give Horax full emotional spectrum and the processing power to keep up with or exceed conventional Archotech minds with the new layer of unpredictability given to organics. All to not only escape the Void Plane, but to create FTL and undergo an apotheosis to retain control of FTL methods.

9:20 maby referen to 40K Salnesh?

I really love your channel your the only other guy who dives i to niche little bits of lore in great detail

This makes me think, the player might actually be an Archotech which is using its influence on the pawns of your colony to order them and tell them to do things in specific ways like how horax controls his cult.

That "AND RIGHTFULLY SO" jump scare absolutely shocked me. What a perfect way to start my Halloween!

So the Golden Cube is probably Horax in its prison. This would explain the obsession as Horax tries to influence pawns as to the cube's significance, but not able to actually communicate at all.

Another thing, he probably seeded thousands of worlds with void monoliths because extra dimensional travel requires exist and entry points. If you seal a monolith, you're probably not trapping him, just closing the door on that world.

On my primary Rimworld colony, the colony's leader, one Ramon Solis, has essentially turned himself into the closest a human can get to being a full on Archotech. (However, my ideoligion doesn't support Archotech worship, so no, he is no deific emperor). He has installed every single archotech augmentation onto himself, a neurocalculator, a learning assistant, 6 psylink neuroformers, he has learned every psychic ability I can find, I've given him all Archite genetics, as well as every major genetic buff I could stack (At the cost of him becoming sterile and having no sexual drives), as well as a whole ton of bionic implants to further supplement his archotech implants, and I bonded him to an Anima tree, four dryad trees, and gave him a mechlink, so he's also a mechanator on top of being an Emperor of the Shattered Empire and the closest in-game equivalent to a druid that is possible. Well, I also looked into augmenting him with anomaly tech, which netted him a revenant vertebrae as well as various serums for temporary uses in combat. I also gave him the maximum amount of death refusals and he is Voidtouched, so Voidtouched on top of the Deathless and Ageless Archite genetics basically make him unable to die. After doing all of this, Ramon stumbled across the corrupted Obelisk and figured out that it could duplicate him almost perfectly, and realizing that this essentially meant that he could preserve a copy of himself to act in his stead if he somehow was slain later down the line, he got to cloning. 16 duplicates in total were made, 4 of them turned hostile and were killed/destroyed to prevent them from causing issues, but one of the hostile duplicates escaped after fleeing the combat. I elected to run with it, and generated a second planet that was identical to the first one, only this time I played as Ramon's evil duplicate and re-settled on a remote island. Now the two games are running parallel to one another, with Ramon Solis running his small nation seeking to live on the Rimworld permanently, and the duplicate, who calls himself Null, is currently running the planet's local Horax following and due to his heavy augmentations, is seen as a living saint or direct servant to Horax. The duplicate plans to overthrow his original, and is amassing an army to do so. I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

Horax behaves like bored player with access to console commands/debug mode.

It was a momentary madness.

But can he beat Goku tho?

Why is your hand a tentacle

Thanks for these videos! I didn't know Rimworld had so much more lore than just the primer and what we see play out in-game. I really wonder what the next (possible?) DLC will bring to the table. Will it expand on Horax? Will we learn about someone or something new?

5:07 This prison cannot hold me. The void calls. Renounce humanity. Serve horax. Flesh is a prison. Dedicate yourself to horax and be rewarded.

we got night archive lore before gta 6

I like your theory about the evil archotecnology. However according to my colonist Jerry (who usually is high on Wake up) your theory sounds like something a cultist of Horax would say to convince you that Horax is the good guy. Jokes aside, I like to think that Horax was imprisoned by other archotechs servants. like, they thought he was to dangerous to keep alive or something like that. So they imprisoned him in another dimension as a way to punish him eternally. That's my take about this. However, there are details unmentioned, or that are vaguely detailed ingame, which is ok because it gives a feeling of mystery to Rimworld.

9:56 is Horax Breedable

In defense of highmates: The Psychic Bond buff gives +10% psychic sensitivity, and while that alone is enough to bring highmates up a few tiers imo, this buff also applies to colonists that don’t have _any_ psychic sensitivity. And I don’t care if it’s sub-optimal or whatever, a Hussar with a load of combat Mechanoids is a whole lot of fun, even outside of Combat Extended, where militors go absolutely nuts.

0:22 You must not reference this evil entity, or your colonists will want to 1v1 the chemfuel right next to your antigrain warhead

Do NOT lock me in a closet with the followers of horax.

Even tho it's not true but I like to imagine that void archotec wasnt a weapon but once it was broken that caused it to create these horrors 18:12 nwm its real

algo comment

That's a good looking base!

I wonder what other machine gods we'll discover in future DLCs. We already have somewhat of a neutral machine god with the archonexus ending, (could be argued to be somewhat benevolent) replacing the flora around the Archonexus core with Anima Trees and Anima Grass. And now we have an oppressive machine god mutating flesh in grotesque ways, rage inducing blood rain, and obsessive.. alluring.. beautiful golden cubes..

Its time to go back to a classic: *ROCK AND ROLL AND STONE!!!*

I feel like it would make more sense if the plane that psychic presences go through had a true 1-Dimensional time (both forward and back) rather than no dimension of space. It has basically the same effect at a glance, but it would also let archotechs that have either been destroyed or are yet to exist influence the psychic space, and by extension, the real world (sorta adding to the near-omnipotence of the archotechs)

Took me a solid 2 minutes to notice one of the statues arms is replaced with a tentacle

17:00 it sounds like warp from warhammer 40k

I love Scp and rimworld so anomaly was a natural dlc to buy. I was gonna buy it anyway cause rimworld addiction is worse than luciferium. Also nice right hand. Nice head too.

youre not slick i see the tentacles 👀
