Rim worlds arent technically the edge of known space. They're at outside "civilized" space. Since FTL doesn't exist in universe, empires larger than a few systems are hard to keep together, so rimworlds could appear anywhere a local power collapsed or never existed. Also if i recall theres backgrounds that imply worlds with modern nations that exist next to medieval kingdoms.
Yep rimworlds arent worlds at the edge of the galaxy or the universe, they are worlds on the edge of the human sphere of expansion (As space is 3 dimensional, humans would logically expand in all directions in an ever growing sphere). Eventually old rimworlds would find themselves in more developing regions of space because of the human sphere expansion and most likely develop into a more civilised world while countless new rimworlds will be discovered and so on.
@@Stachu454 FTL is like slip space drive, jump drive, warp drive, wormholes, hyperlane travel etc, anything that lets you travel faster than light, that is, get from one star system to another very quickly,
Only if we had a future DLC or heavily expanded mod that focused in some of these worlds. Surviving in a Glassworld would be tough but a fun challenge.
I think that, from the way they are described, Glassworlds would be impossible to survive on. I'm gonna assume that a weapon capable of glassing the entire surface of a planet would also completely remove its ozone layer and destabilize everything.

Auraxis from Planetside 2 is a fun example of a War World: they discovered a way to store their life as data (basically) and revive infinitely. Once war started, the constant death and rebirth lead to (effectively) widespread insanity as people only remembered who their enemies were, not why they were fighting.
oh so thats the (lore) difference between arcotech and glittertech, as i understand it: Glittertech: Peak of civilised cooperative humanity, with genius humans and advanced but controllable computers. its the highest tech that can be understood and produced.

I think that's a correct interpretation, yeah. I doubt we will ever have a full answer to that, as Rimworld is mainly a game about creating your own story, so I believe that the gaps in lore and information are meant as a way for you to fill the gaps and create your own story while being given the foundations to build upon.
I won't say Archotech being "rogue" it is more like AI advanced to a point that it doesn't need human intervention. Not to mention one of the ENDINGS in Rimworld is the player making a creation of an Archotech.
Glitter tech is peak human tech, cure cancer with a pill and destroy planets and stars kind of tech.

Pretty much. There is a lot of lore to this game, it's just not clearly compiled or ordered. It's like a giant puzzle, we are given most of the pieces and its up to us to put them together and fill in with the parts that are missing with something of our choice.
I'm a bit confused by the pretence of interstellar travel being very common. From my understanding, the RimWorld universe doesn't have FTL travel. As such, communication between star systems is difficult, which is why every planet tend to develop independent of others. Although my reading was that *interplanetary* relationships within the same system do exist.
I have a video where I talk about space traveling in Rimworld too, but essentially, space travel is common not in the sense that everyone spacetravels frequently, multiple times a year, but in the sense that for most evolved societies, it is an option readily open even to the average person, usually for medical purposes, in order to travel somewhere far away to get medical treatment for a deadly illness.
For anyone wondering why this video showed up twice: The first upload incurred some errors after the post-rendering process which slipped by me, as I had reviewed the video before rendering. Issue has been fixed though so it should all be good now. Hope you enjoy it!

@@thenightarchives4148 you make a good point there. but either way it would be cool if we could explore these different kinds of planets in the future.
I like another idea for warworlds. Completely dead worlds on which ancient warmachines still wage a war without reason, their masters extinct for a long time. Which could be fairly common, like when an urbworld collapses
"Recon armor: a suit of light partially-powered armor, designed to permit quick movement. Lightweight plasteel-weave plates block attacks without compromising mobility, and neuro-memetic assistors in the lower body allow a human to wear the armor and still move easily. Armor like this is often used by imperial scout troops and *glitterworld police forces*." So your phrase about them being "untrained in any form of violence" is incorrect
That is a fair point, although I based my assumption on the following factors. 1. Despite their existence, the Glitterworld Police most likely represents a lower number of the population. Currently, in our present, the highest number of police members per 1000 people is in Argentina and Iraq with a number of 9 to 1000, and the USA having a number of 3 to 1000. You could assume that in a Glitterworld, places described as everyone having any need covered, the criminality rate would be extremely low, thus also lowering the number of police officers required. Even in Argentina, one of the highest places in terms of police per population would be 0.9%, we could assume this number to be much lower in a Glitterworld. If police officers are the only trained forces, perhaps along with the military forces as well, it would still leave a high number of residents untrained, making it a correct general statement to say that Glitterworld citizens are untrained. 2. The second reason I made that assumption was the information regarding glitterworlds provided in the cryptosleep revival briefing, stating that glitterworld inhabitants are kind, trusting of others and lacking grit. The final observation, that of lacking grit caught my attention, as its whole purpose seem to heavily hint towards Glitterworld citizens not being used to rough or violent lives. With this said, I still see your point, it's a good observation that I will keep in mind in the future. :)
And all of this lore is just managing the settings to get ice/desert planets, and the traits and backstories of players and items. The seeming lack of lore is what makes the lore of this game so good.
Rather than another game, I would just like an official DLC that expanded on the game after the space departure, allowing to visit other planets as well. I know SoS2 already does that, but an official release would be incredible.
Getting to know just how deep the lore goes in RimWorld is a nice feeling. Such a vast universe, and we only get to experience it through the life of hapless colonist, surviving on an unremarkable rimworld, experiencing survival, struggle, death, birth and joy. A journey, through and though. In true RimWorld fashion the first named planet to be explained should be Yttak, the prison planet. We would feel right at home there....
@@notmocka also uncreative, and the name isn't even a description, we got more water than earth! I hereby suggest we allow suggestions and then make a poll for a new name for our planet.
Is safe to say that with soo much variety of worlds, technologies and cultures, most of the rimworld mods could actually be 100% cannon, most of them.....
watching these planet types gave me like 3-5 different playthrough ideas, unsure if possible but one day I will see if they can be done with mods and all
@@thenightarchives4148 first worth noting I love myself some flavour text so I mostly picked ones that can have interesting lore implications, such as deadworld android hive playthrough mostly fighting the world's unpredictable weather or other company hives trying to terraform, trash, toxic, or junk worlds could be an interesting challenge run, my favorite is a prison world fallen into a rimworld because nearby government collapsed, dino and animal world basically making it a jungle survival run, or downright have a planet that you can slowly tech up from a rimworld to a glitter/urbworld, honorable mentions are: Medieval world: it has been done before was an intriguing run however, warworld: also been done using a custom map with 2 rivaling factions fighting over the planet, I classify that as a warworld instead of a rimworld
Rimworld lore: Industrial worlds, worlds of future, worlds of scrappers trying to survive Rimworld gameplay: Tree of Magic, Tree of Lovecraft, Tree of Pokémons That's a joke. For instance - as far as I know, only mentioned big faction in lore is medieval space monarchy, with Indian caste system on steroids
What I find interesting about Rimworlds is that there are tribals and ruins, but the world is also visited by space traders quite frequently, implying there is a lot of traffic in the local space and the world is known to be populated. I just don’t see how these primitive tribal societies would stay primitive for long when there is such ready exposure to high technology. Really, how did they become primitive in the first place even in the post-apocalypse with so much technology surrounding them? You would think survivors of an apocalypse would retain some level of their prior technology and become at worst, like, techno barbarians instead of going all the way back to the stone age. This might imply that the kinds of rimworlds we play on are poised to become something else, likely a more civilized type of world with less sparse human settlement, more organized governance, and greater access to technology.
Well, they can be primitive either due to their ideology, one that for example would forbid the usage of ultratech in order to avoid repeating the mistakes or the past, or because they are so focused on war and survival that they barely have any time to develop.
What is your source for the world types in this video, or is this video mostly Rimworld fanfiction/theory (e.g. deadworlds, dino worlds)? Far as I've seen in-game in Rimworld and the "Fiction Primer" the only canon world types are Rimworld, Urbworld and Glitterworld. If you have a source for these odd world types, it'd be helpful to have that included in the video's description.
industrial worlds, medieval worlds, junkworlds etc are all referenced in those origin story snippets that characters can have, there's also a document that tynan wrote very early in development called "Cryptosleep Revival Briefing" which is a mix of a short story and a game design document on the Rimworld universe, some of it has been made non-canon but it doesn't remove everything else.
I wonder what would happen if someone tried to explore a transcendent world, and it would be interesting as someone in this universe to explore with all of the unique planets. Just a thought for the algorithm.
Well, isn't that what happened to Varan-Dur? He reached a transcendent world, the home of an Arcotech, and got transformed into a Sanguophage. I think that what would happen would be highly dependant on what kind of Arcotech inhabits that world.
I remember discovering lore of this and it was such huge surprise I never thought this game can have such smart lore This is the probably best prediction of how things might take turn in the long future
Arent there also extinct Transcendant Worlds? I think i remember something like that, where the Archotech inhabiting it is just... Gone. But maybe im just making that up Great video, I love rimworld lore!
Hi, been watching your content for a while and i gotta say: its nice rhat people are noricing Rimworld more and more, and hopefully you make more in the future.
i remember one of the worlds mentioned in the rimworld lore was this super conservative militaristic society that was created because the only people who survived a nuclear war were gmo soldiers
Id like to see some of these planets show up in game, namely trash worlds, toxic worlds, and war worlds (perhaps post war worlds?) Essentially featuring unique biomed and fauna not found in the base game
At some point, Tynan had released a document that detailed that rocket fuel (not chemfuel) was harvested by a special type of tree bioengineered to grow rocket fuel inside of it, but that document now is out of date and not considered as canonic anymore.
I love how space travel works in Rimworld, theres no FTL travel yet many planets are connected, ships take decades to travel between planets however it might feel like a second with cryptosleep combined with the factor that they rely on AI to do the travel for them, said AI also often being capable of somewhat free thought.
Well, some of these worlds would be easy to create. Iceworlds, Toxworlds, Medievalworlds and so on shouldn't be too hard through the use of mods and customization of your planet before starting a new game
do prison worlds actually have larger infrastructure on them or is it just kind of.. they get sent down to a planet on thier own and have basically no way of getting back into space?
There's a typo in your video description. "Deadworls" Also, Rimworlds are not on the edge of the known universe. They're on the edge of the star cluster colonized by humans.
Well, it would be nice to shoose the type of a planet in the game start. Maube not very advanced ones like transcendental, urb or glitterworlds, but the types like farm planets, toxic, war, animal, industrial or medieval worlds. I know that mods exist, but i want to see this in the base game. Imagine how random the experience would be, first game you've played is some lost squad on the war world, second is astronauts surviving deadworld and third is some tribe on animal planet with no human sight at all. Maybe it's too much, but if it was implemented in the game, that would feel like Rimworld 2.0
If planets are classified as medieval, ind, steam and mid worlds does it mean there is a significant delay in technological progress on the planet? I imagine with the vast distance of space even communication would take thousands of years to get from A to B. By the time you get a broadcast or spacecraft from a midworld its either a deadworld or urbworld, glitterworld, ect.
Pretty much. It's not unheard of for people to depart from one planet to another, only for that planet to not exist anymore or having changed drastically (for best or worse) by the time they arrive and awaken from cryptosleep.
The sources I use for the lore are the cryptosleep debrief document, the wiki, game files and flavor texts for items/places and other in-game elements.
It is a bit weird that thing like agriculture world would exist in rim world since I heard there is no ftl. The lack of capability to travel faster than light meant that the agriculture world can only trade with planets that in the same solar system.
Doesn't necessarily mean they must be trading. They could also be dedicated solely to agriculture for their own survival as the planet's conditions might be unreliable for hunting/gathering
@thenightarchives4148 I wouldn't assume FTL travel is a prerequisite for the existence of agriworlds and the movement of agricultural goods to a more populace planet or system. You just have to send scheduled ships with a few hundred+ years in advance. Some planets obviously have the tech to do this and preserve the crew and goods. Think WH40k agriworld and hive world interactions. It's just that if the agriworld collapses it might be a looong time before you realize your planet is doomed to starve.
Wow different planet types in Rimworld? Makes me want to experience it myself. Though I guess I can by making a world fully toxic and polluted. Or an advanced colony where only robots do the work for glitterworlds and download medieval mods for the, well medieval planet. Then turning up the temperature for Iceworlds. I never really thought that Rimworld had lore for some reason. Just thought of it as a goofy wär crïme simulator
I think not, given how abundantly present better options exist, though that would be interesting to see but I assume that gas giants would essentially not be able to sustain life.
@@thenightarchives4148 Yeah, I meant gas giant colonies that fly in the athmosphere (i.e. Bespin) or gas giant shells (basically, an artificial ground suspended above gas giant). Also, would be cool if there are paraterraformed worlds in the lore too
I'd like to see a mod where you select a world type to spawn in to. more advanced ones like Urb worlds or Core worlds shouldn't be an option but ones like junk worlds or glass worlds would be interesting. it'd need to be something like each planet is a rim/junk planet as an example.
There's plenty of material, both on the wiki, the game files and especially the cryptosleep revival debrief, a document written by Tynan encapsulating a lot of the lore of Rimworld. docs.google.com/document/d/1fUO3KKbAbTxMP1lqphnnodY0NPoOVblCUkDw-54MDUc/pub
your channel is really nice. rimworld is such a fun game. do you use combat extended in your gameplays? i like the fact that with it enabled when my colonists blow out a guys kidney with a musket he then proceeds to bleed out immediately
Well, imagine this: It's much easier to dispose of waste by depositing it on what is essentially a large rock devoid of life, rather than sending rockets that may or may not have their trajectory changed along the way by so many factors and risk having them return back at you or end up where they shouldn't.
Would you say the term is not correct? Since they navigate from planet to planet across space, interstellar space traders sounds equally correct to me, but yes, orbital traders is the official name.
@@thenightarchives4148 do we know they go between planets? I don't remember them saying they do, but its totally possible I missed that. If you're just basing it off the name though, I don't know that you can assume their interstellar esp. given the travel times between solar systems. The ISS is an orbital space station, but it was launched from Earth, communicates with Earth, only receives goods from Earth. I could see outlanders launching orbital traders as effectively a safe way to caravan all over the world without risk.
@@DSlyde Outlanders? You mean the people who turn up with a hodgepodge of weaponry that I mow down with the power of General issued terror? These people are fighting me with pump action shotguns that would be in better condition if they were left in the swamps of florida for 14 years and you think they can launch a satellite into orbit?

That is a fair point, although I based my assumption on the following factors.
1. Despite their existence, the Glitterworld Police most likely represents a lower number of the population. Currently, in our present, the highest number of police members per 1000 people is in Argentina and Iraq with a number of 9 to 1000, and the USA having a number of 3 to 1000. You could assume that in a Glitterworld, places described as everyone having any need covered, the criminality rate would be extremely low, thus also lowering the number of police officers required. Even in Argentina, one of the highest places in terms of police per population would be 0.9%, we could assume this number to be much lower in a Glitterworld. If police officers are the only trained forces, perhaps along with the military forces as well, it would still leave a high number of residents untrained, making it a correct general statement to say that Glitterworld citizens are untrained.
2. The second reason I made that assumption was the information regarding glitterworlds provided in the cryptosleep revival briefing, stating that glitterworld inhabitants are kind, trusting of others and lacking grit. The final observation, that of lacking grit caught my attention, as its whole purpose seem to heavily hint towards Glitterworld citizens not being used to rough or violent lives.
With this said, I still see your point, it's a good observation that I will keep in mind in the future. :)
And all of this lore is just managing the settings to get ice/desert planets, and the traits and backstories of players and items. The seeming lack of lore is what makes the lore of this game so good.
I hope that one day the creators of RimWorld will make games set in the RimWorld universe that takes place on other types of planets.
Rather than another game, I would just like an official DLC that expanded on the game after the space departure, allowing to visit other planets as well. I know SoS2 already does that, but an official release would be incredible.
Imagine a cities skylines like game set on a glitterworld
Getting to know just how deep the lore goes in RimWorld is a nice feeling. Such a vast universe, and we only get to experience it through the life of hapless colonist, surviving on an unremarkable rimworld, experiencing survival, struggle, death, birth and joy. A journey, through and though.
In true RimWorld fashion the first named planet to be explained should be Yttak, the prison planet. We would feel right at home there....
Also, i imagine steamworld like alternative industrial world, basically the indworld that took different evolution turn.
i really wanna see planets outside of the rimworlds, i hope tynan creates other games in this universe some day
I love the lore, but they could have used a little bit of creativity naming the planet types, it's not a finite resource
You live in a planet called earth my guy
@@notmocka also uncreative, and the name isn't even a description, we got more water than earth! I hereby suggest we allow suggestions and then make a poll for a new name for our planet.
Transcendent World is just AM but maybe less terrifying
I always think about that too
9:54 Kind of sounds like the world of Kenshi
Kenshi is such a cool game fr
Is safe to say that with soo much variety of worlds, technologies and cultures, most of the rimworld mods could actually be 100% cannon, most of them.....
As long as the forbidden mod isn't then I'm fine with it
@@thenightarchives4148 Urbworld simulator pretty much. Or Africa.
i was waiting for you to do the planet types, i had no idea there were so many
I hope the video was as good as you expected it to be
watching these planet types gave me like 3-5 different playthrough ideas, unsure if possible but one day I will see if they can be done with mods and all
Which ones are you thinking about? I may be able to provide some advice
@@thenightarchives4148 first worth noting I love myself some flavour text so I mostly picked ones that can have interesting lore implications, such as deadworld android hive playthrough mostly fighting the world's unpredictable weather or other company hives trying to terraform, trash, toxic, or junk worlds could be an interesting challenge run, my favorite is a prison world fallen into a rimworld because nearby government collapsed, dino and animal world basically making it a jungle survival run, or downright have a planet that you can slowly tech up from a rimworld to a glitter/urbworld, honorable mentions are: Medieval world: it has been done before was an intriguing run however, warworld: also been done using a custom map with 2 rivaling factions fighting over the planet, I classify that as a warworld instead of a rimworld
im glad im not the only mf who read the lore primer and thought it was cool af
Rimworld lore: Industrial worlds, worlds of future, worlds of scrappers trying to survive
Rimworld gameplay: Tree of Magic, Tree of Lovecraft, Tree of Pokémons
That's a joke. For instance - as far as I know, only mentioned big faction in lore is medieval space monarchy, with Indian caste system on steroids
Thank you 😊❤. I would like it if you cover Novaroma or one of the Urbworlds.
finally
warhammer 40k lore guy without grim dark future
What I find interesting about Rimworlds is that there are tribals and ruins, but the world is also visited by space traders quite frequently, implying there is a lot of traffic in the local space and the world is known to be populated. I just don’t see how these primitive tribal societies would stay primitive for long when there is such ready exposure to high technology. Really, how did they become primitive in the first place even in the post-apocalypse with so much technology surrounding them? You would think survivors of an apocalypse would retain some level of their prior technology and become at worst, like, techno barbarians instead of going all the way back to the stone age.
This might imply that the kinds of rimworlds we play on are poised to become something else, likely a more civilized type of world with less sparse human settlement, more organized governance, and greater access to technology.
Well, they can be primitive either due to their ideology, one that for example would forbid the usage of ultratech in order to avoid repeating the mistakes or the past, or because they are so focused on war and survival that they barely have any time to develop.
Didn't even know there were planet types besides the single playable one.
Really apreciate your channel, please don’t die
I really do like your Rimworld content man, keep it up.
What is your source for the world types in this video, or is this video mostly Rimworld fanfiction/theory (e.g. deadworlds, dino worlds)? Far as I've seen in-game in Rimworld and the "Fiction Primer" the only canon world types are Rimworld, Urbworld and Glitterworld. If you have a source for these odd world types, it'd be helpful to have that included in the video's description.
industrial worlds, medieval worlds, junkworlds etc are all referenced in those origin story snippets that characters can have, there's also a document that tynan wrote very early in development called "Cryptosleep Revival Briefing" which is a mix of a short story and a game design document on the Rimworld universe, some of it has been made non-canon but it doesn't remove everything else.
Imagine a Mod where you are tasked with terraforming a planet. Possibly working decades in order to make it habitable for colonization.
So, Spore during the space arc?
Vanilla Expanded: Insectoids 2 adds hives from some planets: Kemia, Chelis, Nuchadus, Sorne and Xanides!
It would be so cool if there was a mod that alowed us to land on those types of planets
I wonder what would happen if someone tried to explore a transcendent world, and it would be interesting as someone in this universe to explore with all of the unique planets. Just a thought for the algorithm.
Well, isn't that what happened to Varan-Dur? He reached a transcendent world, the home of an Arcotech, and got transformed into a Sanguophage. I think that what would happen would be highly dependant on what kind of Arcotech inhabits that world.
Ого, сколько же здесь типов планет... очень хочется побывать хотя бы на нескольких, но, увы, официального ДЛС на космические путешествия пока нет(
I remember discovering lore of this and it was such huge surprise I never thought this game can have such smart lore
This is the probably best prediction of how things might take turn in the long future
Arent there also extinct Transcendant Worlds? I think i remember something like that, where the Archotech inhabiting it is just... Gone. But maybe im just making that up
Great video, I love rimworld lore!
Not sure about this one. Could you provide a source on it? It might make for an interesting video.
Hi, been watching your content for a while and i gotta say: its nice rhat people are noricing Rimworld more and more, and hopefully you make more in the future.
i remember one of the worlds mentioned in the rimworld lore was this super conservative militaristic society that was created because the only people who survived a nuclear war were gmo soldiers
Id like to see some of these planets show up in game, namely trash worlds, toxic worlds, and war worlds (perhaps post war worlds?) Essentially featuring unique biomed and fauna not found in the base game
Junkworlds would be so cool. Imagine visiting one with your spaceship to collect various parts, scrap metal and all kind of stuff
I thank thee for the rimworld lore I always wondered what certain things meant or where it came from, like chemfuel for example.
At some point, Tynan had released a document that detailed that rocket fuel (not chemfuel) was harvested by a special type of tree bioengineered to grow rocket fuel inside of it, but that document now is out of date and not considered as canonic anymore.
Im pretty sure we're closer to an indworld than a midworld, since there are still humans that haven't industrially revolutionized
It was an archotech that did it
I love how space travel works in Rimworld, theres no FTL travel yet many planets are connected, ships take decades to travel between planets however it might feel like a second with cryptosleep combined with the factor that they rely on AI to do the travel for them, said AI also often being capable of somewhat free thought.
Sounds like my Stellaris games (Prison Worlds, letsssssss go)
looking at all the planet type make me wish that there is a rimworld spinoff or mod that takes place in one of these world
Well, some of these worlds would be easy to create. Iceworlds, Toxworlds, Medievalworlds and so on shouldn't be too hard through the use of mods and customization of your planet before starting a new game
Truly underrated channel, ive been looking for a lore channel on this for sooooo long
This series is underrated
do prison worlds actually have larger infrastructure on them or is it just kind of.. they get sent down to a planet on thier own and have basically no way of getting back into space?
Large infrastructure. It is stated that Ytakk has both wardens and guards, along with people working maintenance and delivery.
Ice world is a fun challenge.
There's a typo in your video description. "Deadworls"
Also, Rimworlds are not on the edge of the known universe. They're on the edge of the star cluster colonized by humans.
Woops, corrected now. Thanks for the heads up!
@@thenightarchives4148 No problem, happy to help out.
Pls more Rimworld lore vids :)
imagine playing the game on an urbworld, sims 4 hardcore mode
Well, it would be nice to shoose the type of a planet in the game start. Maube not very advanced ones like transcendental, urb or glitterworlds, but the types like farm planets, toxic, war, animal, industrial or medieval worlds. I know that mods exist, but i want to see this in the base game. Imagine how random the experience would be, first game you've played is some lost squad on the war world, second is astronauts surviving deadworld and third is some tribe on animal planet with no human sight at all. Maybe it's too much, but if it was implemented in the game, that would feel like Rimworld 2.0

If planets are classified as medieval, ind, steam and mid worlds does it mean there is a significant delay in technological progress on the planet? I imagine with the vast distance of space even communication would take thousands of years to get from A to B. By the time you get a broadcast or spacecraft from a midworld its either a deadworld or urbworld, glitterworld, ect.
Pretty much. It's not unheard of for people to depart from one planet to another, only for that planet to not exist anymore or having changed drastically (for best or worse) by the time they arrive and awaken from cryptosleep.
love these lore vids keep it up man
Hey the lore of various types of worlds, I've been waiting for this!
Does Rimworld have mods to simulate this worlds? I mean, I would love to survive in a toxic world, but with gas masks and everything
You could set the pollution level to the max and that should do it
also were did you get the lore
The sources I use for the lore are the cryptosleep debrief document, the wiki, game files and flavor texts for items/places and other in-game elements.
@@thenightarchives4148 thank you
Patchnotes also include lore sprinkeled in between technical details
@@thenightarchives4148
On the main menu there is a fiction primer section that has a lore document
@@fronker7581 thanks
It is a bit weird that thing like agriculture world would exist in rim world since I heard there is no ftl. The lack of capability to travel faster than light meant that the agriculture world can only trade with planets that in the same solar system.
Doesn't necessarily mean they must be trading. They could also be dedicated solely to agriculture for their own survival as the planet's conditions might be unreliable for hunting/gathering
@thenightarchives4148 I wouldn't assume FTL travel is a prerequisite for the existence of agriworlds and the movement of agricultural goods to a more populace planet or system. You just have to send scheduled ships with a few hundred+ years in advance. Some planets obviously have the tech to do this and preserve the crew and goods. Think WH40k agriworld and hive world interactions. It's just that if the agriworld collapses it might be a looong time before you realize your planet is doomed to starve.
Wow different planet types in Rimworld? Makes me want to experience it myself. Though I guess I can by making a world fully toxic and polluted. Or an advanced colony where only robots do the work for glitterworlds and download medieval mods for the, well medieval planet. Then turning up the temperature for Iceworlds.
I never really thought that Rimworld had lore for some reason. Just thought of it as a goofy wär crïme simulator
I think that one of the best parts is creating your own lore as well.
It’s kinda weird there isn’t a median world between a Midworld and and Urbworld in rimworld
What would you say the median would be called/described like? Perhaps Spaceworld?
@@thenightarchives4148 yeah a Spaceworld
Are there gas giant colonies, ringworld colonies?
I think not, given how abundantly present better options exist, though that would be interesting to see but I assume that gas giants would essentially not be able to sustain life.
@@thenightarchives4148 Yeah, I meant gas giant colonies that fly in the athmosphere (i.e. Bespin) or gas giant shells (basically, an artificial ground suspended above gas giant). Also, would be cool if there are paraterraformed worlds in the lore too
Glad to see more rimworld lore!
2:54 you mean Galaxy, right?
I'd like to see a mod where you select a world type to spawn in to. more advanced ones like Urb worlds or Core worlds shouldn't be an option but ones like junk worlds or glass worlds would be interesting. it'd need to be something like each planet is a rim/junk planet as an example.
where do i start? Is this a good place to start binging your content?
I have a full playlist that should be available on the channel!
I mean we already know techno arch time is an either a living machine for transcended priest.
Love your work on rimworld lore
No way you used an image of auschwitz for the prison world part
I’m hyped for names plants
My guy just casually used a picture of Auschwitz to illustrate the prison planet
Where did you get the source for this stuff? Ive been trying to look into rimworld lore, but have come short
There's plenty of material, both on the wiki, the game files and especially the cryptosleep revival debrief, a document written by Tynan encapsulating a lot of the lore of Rimworld. docs.google.com/document/d/1fUO3KKbAbTxMP1lqphnnodY0NPoOVblCUkDw-54MDUc/pub
@@thenightarchives4148 Oh, sick, thank you
this is some good shit , keep it up until you have 8000 hours in rimworld!
Ah rimworld, where colonists are quite accepting of each other(most of the time) no matter where what world they originally came from
We need a rim world in 3D
*insert stellaris reference here*
I liked so you betted post that video on the named worlds
It's probably going to be the next one
your channel is really nice. rimworld is such a fun game. do you use combat extended in your gameplays? i like the fact that with it enabled when my colonists blow out a guys kidney with a musket he then proceeds to bleed out immediately
I have never tried combat extended
@@thenightarchives4148 you have to try it
love the content
What about Cave-Worlds? I swear they're mentioned in some of the backstories.
Seems like in the end I forgot something after all, haha
Good Video
Why do trash planets exist? Why not shoot the trash into the systems star?
Well, imagine this: It's much easier to dispose of waste by depositing it on what is essentially a large rock devoid of life, rather than sending rockets that may or may not have their trajectory changed along the way by so many factors and risk having them return back at you or end up where they shouldn't.
Earth is mid

Interstellar space traders? Aren't they only orbital traders?
Would you say the term is not correct? Since they navigate from planet to planet across space, interstellar space traders sounds equally correct to me, but yes, orbital traders is the official name.
@@thenightarchives4148 do we know they go between planets? I don't remember them saying they do, but its totally possible I missed that.
If you're just basing it off the name though, I don't know that you can assume their interstellar esp. given the travel times between solar systems. The ISS is an orbital space station, but it was launched from Earth, communicates with Earth, only receives goods from Earth. I could see outlanders launching orbital traders as effectively a safe way to caravan all over the world without risk.
@@DSlyde Outlanders? You mean the people who turn up with a hodgepodge of weaponry that I mow down with the power of General issued terror? These people are fighting me with pump action shotguns that would be in better condition if they were left in the swamps of florida for 14 years and you think they can launch a satellite into orbit?
