i mean… or just walk out of a door ?? i assume you are trying to ecape a room with fire and the door is not on fire or else you cant really deconstruct it anyway. i fail to see the proness in this tip xd
@@denial54sometimes, it’s a case of a fire in a room no one is in. You might have stuff in there you want to get out. Just going in is a death sentence from the temperature. So you break a wall to make the room cool down.
In the outfits tab, set the default health percentage to 51-100. This will make your pawns avoid tattered clothing. Just make sure you have extra as otherwise, they will get a debuff from being naked.
You can also cremate clothing that has 50% health or less and set your tailor bench to produce clothing until 1 or 2 are in the stockpile. That way you don't have to care about clothing at all, except for armor maybe.
You can also set them not to wear clothes with a durability of 49 or less. Then if their own clothes deteriorate below this, they will take them off and look for others.
I wish they added no dressing\undressing without command. I hate it when pawns try to put on what I don't intend for them. But if I set naked policy they UNdress. So I need to manually set each pawn's clothes. But even then they attempt to wear something allowed that I need to stay in storage. And if I forbid interactions, they won't haul it. It's a nightmare. How easy is it to forbid them from CHANGING? It's 1 line in the code. Change_clothes = 0, something like that.
Just some extra tips i find useful -always keep an unistalled spyke trap somewere to install it quickly behind a door with your incapable of violence pawns so that they can be of some use in raids (very useful in naked brutality early game too) -if you floor an area with mountain roof infestation chances decrease -always build wooden furniture underground but only stone walls so that if you get an infestation you can just burn that room. -raugh stone floor does not produce filth so it's good for kitchens in early game and not expencive at all -pawns will equip shield belts even if they have a ranged weapn, be sure to check who has them before a raid, you can stop this by disabling shield belts in the cothing restrictions. -armor is a real game changer, try getting basic plate armor for your melee pawns as soon as possible, esepcially if you aren't using automated defences. -some traders buy wood, when you find one send all your people cutting wood so you can stockpile some silver for the next trader (beware, it will also increase colony wealth) -colony wealth affects how big raids get, you should try lowering it if it gets too difficult -loosing a pawn makes you get easyer threats for some time, maybe thet addicted pyro is not so useless after all... -luciferium is hard to get but you can farm it in ancient danger by settling in tiles next to your base and then abbandoning them after clearing the ancient danger -installing peg limbs on prisoners is a good way to farm medical skill, you can release rhem afterwards for faction reputation -some times the organs are worth more than the prisoner, keep it in mind when selling to a slaver. -if you have a lot of meat eating pets you can let them eat the bodies (rats seem to be the most efficient at this) -if a "wanderer joins" event gives you a pawn with a weapon and good meals it's very likely is's a trador but it's just a red flag, make them drop the weapon and remain unarmed for some days -you can equip wood as a weapon (very useful in naked brutality) If wild animals attack a trader's animal don't stop them, if the animal dies it drops all the loot it has and you can take it for free. -when travellers have some items to sell the one with the "?" on his had has all the items in the inventory, you can check it with the gear button so you don't have to whaste time to trade just to see what they have. -if you have a pawn with a melee weapon, you draft it and select attack you can hover your mouse on foggy areas of the map (like a mountain) when the icon of the cursor changes it means there is a free tile there, you can mine it to discover hidden areas of the map -if there is a thrumbo on the map you can hit it once and hide in your base, it will go manhunt and take care of raids for you (or get killed so you can butcher it)
Farm boomrats and send them into the enemy group that is just preparing to attack you using zones. Hilarity ensues. Alternative: send them into your killbox to distract the incoming enemies. Also works with normal rats. They even then can eat the dead raiders.
@@SpartiniMartini #15. This method will reduce the efficiency of the AC unit. The game still compares the temperature differential of the inside and outside. One tile will bring that area up to 40-50 degrees C and you'll have to build more AC units to keep up a large freezer. A solution to this is to expand the exhaust area until it is stable with the outside ambient temperature. The exhaust can also be used to heat a room if you're in a cold biome.
@@ethanwessel3911 that one tile is the exact same temp as 80 tiles outside because it is unroofed. If it was roofed, then what you said was right, but in the set up in the video the hot air goes outside and thus disappears
Poor and awful stone beds have a use: the lower the rest effectiveness of a bed, the longer a pawn sleeps, which makes terrible beds ideal for prisoners, since pawns will not experience a mental break while they are sleeping.
I wish you could have different classes of slaves. Like the Romans, have miners/farmers or a upper tier Slave that does research and other things. Maybe even allow Slave to be a Warden. Like make a slave prison where the slaves run the whole show and never leave so only the resources are ever brought out by pawns.
l never think about that actually it is kinda makes sense though l don't think l will use it. l generally don't make any bad for prisoners. There must be one excellent bad that l use for surgery and tending stuff. Also l don't feed them at first to make them weaker
I've got a few other tips for you. 1. When rolling your pawns, try to prioritize Construction on at least 2 of them. The reason is that construction passionate pawns (number wont matter as much if they have a burning passion.) are extremely rare from raids or travelers. They are about 5 times rarer then the next rarest pawn. 2. Improving beauty. Daybloom can grow with normal lighting inside rooms and doesn't need a sunlamp, so its a good source of early beauty. Jade is 10x more effective than marble walls and just as durable, so if you have jade, make it into walls. If you want to improve beauty with jade on the cheap, jade fence is 1 jade per 5 beauty. 3. Kneel pillows are the best Ideology sitting object as they can be used as chairs and only be slightly worse than wooden chairs, but have 30x the beauty value. (Devilsthread kneel pillows are worth an average of 225 beauty.) 4. You can overcome the requirements of high life with beer and psycheleaf tea set at 3 and 2 days respectfully. With this setup you will never get addictions nor really much manipulation loss unlike smokeleaf and its 30% loss. 5. Autobongs can be used near the end of your killbox before the sandbags if you have high life. Raiders and bugs that pass through them will have a massive 30% less consciousness, which makes them very inaccurate and more likely to get knocked unconscious. 6. For sunlamps, you can easily keep them up and powered as early as the first year if you have enough components. 2 solar panels will equal a single sun lamp even under volcanic winter, and solar panels stop working the same time sunlamps turn off, making them pair extremely well together. 7. it is recommended to only have a few allies to trade with instead of making friends with everyone, as if you have too many friends, all your human raids will be replaced with mechanoid raids.
@@SpartiniMartini Oh yeah, but I'm the person who uses barricks, not rooms. Its a lot more space effective to get a +3 barricks than ti is to run around with a bunch of +4 rooms since you can combine the temple, barricks, rec, and dining rooms together. And if the barricks is good enough, you don't even have the interrupted sleep moodlet.
Here's a few more: 1. Alternating sandbags in a corridor will make enemies move much slower through it. 2. Statues are the best way to increase room impressiveness resulting in positive mood buffs. 3. You can put grow zones on berry bushes/ambrosia sprouts if you disable sowing on those zones. Pawns will automatically gather the berries/ambrosia when they're harvestable, but won't cut the plants down. 4. 2 solar panels can power a single sun lamp. Hooking them up in their own circuit will make the sunlamp work as a replacement sun when you can't have the plants exposed to the sky normally.
as for the fourth tip, it depends on the biome. I'm on the north pole for my current playthrough and in the winter there is basically no sun to be had so I can't use solar panels.
You’re my hero for tip #3 dude… I’ve been leaving the blue Ambrosia event box on the right side of the screen so I don’t forget about them and that has been so annoying to constantly check back on and see if I should harvest it yet. It’s one of the good events I used to get and say “blech that’s kinda annoying”, haha
Few tips of my own that I didn't see in the comments or video: 1) Infestations are slightly less likely to occur in lit rooms. If building a mountain base, considering making one unlit, un-floored room out of the way and in a special location. Infestations won't be guaranteed there, but they're be more likely. You can build a special killbox here to deal with any insectoids. 2) Speaking of killboxes; when providing an area for your colonists to shoot from, always make sure that it is covered and unlit. The roof will ensure that any rain will not negatively effect your colonists aim, and the darkness will make you slightly harder to hit. 3) Placing a sleeping spot, crafting spot, animal sleeping spot, etc next to a sleeping mechanoid will wake it up. This can be useful if you leave a sleeping cluster and wake them up to attack any raiders on your behalf; or if you just want to draw the machines to your defenses without getting a pawn too close. 4) Sappers are more likely to go after an area of wall that is not being protected by a turret. While it may be draining on your power supply, if you surround your walls with turrets, you have a higher chance of leading sappers where you want them to go. 5) Consider keeping your chemfuel in a unique storage zone away from your other supplies, possibly in a stone room. Should something happens that causes them to catch fire, they won't destroy all of your supplies.
If you want a tip for sleep schedule, 3 hours for recreation (or meditation if tribal), 3 for sleep and then 6 for work and repeat once for 12 hour days keeps your pawns much happier overall, as they will always have the well rested and high recreation mood buffs. It comes at the cost of some productivity tho and is only good if your pawns don't have to move too far to their jobs, but not having mental breaks during or before raids really helps with surviving. credits to the streamer adamvseverything for that one. I personally also advice to get a good constructor as soon as possible, as they can craft higher quality beds meaning your pawns need less sleep. I tend to use my inspirations on double beds for that reason too. qualitybuilder is also a great quality of life mod. it doesnt add anything new, just makes it so only your best builder works on the thing you make if quality matters, and you can set which quality you want at least, if it isn't good enough your builder will deconstruct and try again until the wanted quality is gained. this can drain resources tho, so be careful.
One thing concerning smoothed floor and walls : Those give more wealth than more regular floor and walls. On top of that theya re really really slow to smooth. So if you build a base inside a mountain, don't smooth everything. Instead only smooth what is useful. You can always remove the floor and smooth later if you wish.
Very true! I often end up smoothing my bedroom & prison floors in a mountainbase and use materials for the other rooms, or I'd be smoothing for days on end
As a small tip, I'd say to smooth walls first, since they net more beauty than floors, and are faster to do. Also, you can then mine them, thus destroying the wall and lowering the wealth. However, smoothing floors is a great way to train "Construction" for the same reasons.
Smoothing floors may add some wealth, but it's a trivial amount for any but the most min-maxy of min-maxers: smooth floors have a market value of about 8 (the same as stone tile) but IF their value is considered in the raid point calculation (see below) they're considered "buildings" (like walls, furniture, etc.). Building value is halved for raid strength, so that leaves you with a value of 4 per tile, meaning 100 tiles of smooth floor is less than the value of that extra sniper rifle that's been kicking around since you're first siege (530), and the same as 210 units of steel or 190 units of plainleather in the storeroom. 100 tiles aren't much more than that donkey you keep for old time's sake and the occasional road trip (315), and much less than that bear that used to tank but now just loafs around (700 + 56 points if it's trained to attack). If you're a meth lab proprietor those 100 tiles are worth 28 units of flake or 19 yayo, so sell that shit fast! That raid you butchered 'cause everybody's a crazy cannibal now? 100 tiles = 95 human leather or 200 human meat (and don't get me started on organs!). Even a thousand tiles of smoothed stone (4000) is negligible compared to the other buildings/items/pawns a base of that size would contain. Floors just aren't that much compared to an additional 13% move speed. Yes, you could get the same movement speed with flagstone, which would be 2.7 per tile, so that's a cost-saving route assuming you have stone cutters and want to min-max but keep the move speed. The +2 beauty bonus (going from -1 for rough stone to +1 for smooth) isn't much compared to throwing a statue into the room, too, so smoothed floors aren't getting you too much there. On the plus side smoothing stone is a great side project to keep constructors happy and maintaining or building their skills without having to acquire any other resources. All that said, AFAIK it's still an open question as to whether floors add anything to raid strength. They add wealth, but wealth ≠ raid point strength. Floors aren't technically "buildings" like benches, or "structures" like walls or doors (whose value is merged with buildings for raid point calculations). They don't have hp and can't be claimed. If you were not as distractible as I am or prone to writing overly long RUclips comments you could check using "write storyteller" in dev mode. It shows the raid points.
Claiming stuff and deleting home area around them is also useful when you do it to some walls/ruins on the other end of the map. Those structures are considered "yours" as far as raiders are concerned and some of them often stop to punch/lit them on fire and that way you dont get the entire raid at once but they will come in several groups. Double points for some idiot with a stick bomb/grenades - those guys have a chance of actually killing its own friends in hillarious friendly fire incidents that way.
Smart! You can also do this with opening ancient dangers, so the mechs inside will focus on the walls you claimed, giving you time to shoot the casket to unleash more enemies
When I first started I would manually click on each tree or plant and then click chop or harvest. It was a great discovery for me that there's an "Orders" tab that lets me select the chop tree or harvest order then just drag to select a whole area at once.
Number 19 is deeply rooted in real life. It's the reason why whenever there's an exam session, all students start to clean up their rooms instead of studying.
Thanks for the tip on chairs, didn't know that! Here's one in return: right next to where you switch pawns over to doctor care there is a button labeled "defaults" and if you click it brings up a dialogue where you can quickly switch those settings for all the members of your colony
3:10 go to the assign buuton down and quick adjust all your pawns to medical care with no medicine and then go to default and adjust all to medical care with no medicine so you don't have to micro-manage every time you get a new colonist, a new animal or you capture a prisoner.
All research rooms should be separate rooms, like kitchen areas, and when you can produce it, should use sterile tiles for flooring. Also, with kitchens, your butcher area and cooking area should be sperate rooms to help prevent food poisoning from the butcher area, which is considered dirty by the game.
@@JohnSmith-bs9ym i already know that, but what difference is there when putting one research table in a clean room versus two research tables in one clean room
@@tagwanted1840 haven't played with that myself but the thought behind that is probably along the lines of less facilities per room, less traffic, thus less dirt?
The a/c trick with the roof is so clever. And then I thought about my solution - I funnel air through the wall to the outside, but then I build a wall around that one outdoor tile so it it protected from attackers, and I mark it as no roof. It's the same result but more complicated and needs the freezer to be on an outer wall. What an idiot! Thanks for showing me the more elegant solution.
another small tip, if you want stuff to deteriorate quicker (like rotten corpses) you can simply drag them to local body of water or swamp. another alternative to remove things is to make small stone room, drag everything in it and set it on fire with incendiary of any kind (molotov...etc). Dont need crematorium with its power drain.
What about a steam geiser with a walled in room will tjat work, or will that not be enuf to set the clothes on fire, playing on arid shrubland and am considering atunomous options so i dont waste time destroying
Use storage priorities to direct items you want to one place while maintaining overflow storage. I want medpacks by the hospital bed, raise their importance, and they'll be put there first. Good for keeping some food in the dining room, moving drugs or other things like clothing, chocolate or cyber parts around.
3:53 you don't need three sandbags. One is just enough. The one who is necessary is the one behind the wall, the down-right one. Also, because you may don't have leather of cloth or wool, you can put a barricade.
I've been playing Rimworld since early kickstarter and easily have thousands of hours in the game. Despite this, I still have found a lot of great little tips in your videos. Keep up the great work!
I knew you could... but I didn't know about rearranging pawns at the top. Actually a lie, I did, I have just never been able to get it to work. I click the left mouse button. I then try to drag... and it just creates a selection box as normal. I have no idea what witchery this is to actually SEE someone doing it.
@@girlbuu9403 same, but now I know it is possible I am going to keep trying till I find how to do it, maybe it is a very specific part of the frame you have to click?
Walking Speed is influenced by many factors... true but I think daytime would have been worth mentioned. I often wondered why anymals could outrun my pawns when i was a beginner - Light below 50% will slow you down, but wont slow down animals (which is kind of weird, it would make sense for animals known for seing good at night)
If you have any tips on how to boost social relationships in the colony, I would love to hear :) (I schedule their recreation together, I try to keep production in the one room so they can talk etc but it still seems to take a long time to build and is painful to watch a new person join and exclaim they don't have a single friend in the colony! Maybe I just need to get them more pets...)
@@jupo9928 4k hours without queuing sounds terrible :D. For making friends, best and most efficient way I know of is indeed scheduling their recreational times together so you force them to be with eachother. But some people like psycopaths dont even get friends 99% of the time
Tip #21: Sappers and sieges occur much more often if raiders cant reach Bedroom doors without breaking doors or digging walls, leave an open(but heavily defended path) to you bedrooms so raiders dont ignore all those expensive defensees
2 things I found out the hard way: don't build to the edge of the map since it makes it tougher to defend against mechs and rivers are great for power and good for slowing down attacks but are more difficult to wall off.
@@SpartiniMartini I've used that mod to make an oceanbase once. super fun but required an absurd amount of materials. The thing about the mod for a regular playthrough is that rivers are kinda balanced in the way that you can only build wood defenses on them but are great for power, the mod removes the downside making the upside even stronger. Not saying you shouldn't use it, but keep it in mind. The way I play in rimworld is I crank up the difficulty by doing less wealth management more if I uses overpowered mods or ideoligions. (I play max difficulty already so can't simply crank up difficulty and have to do it with wealth)
Adding onto tip 20, minified buildings also don't deteriorate outdoors. So you can store store completed statues, furniture, spare production buildings, batteries, and any other building. But I'd recommend roofing the space -- avoid lighting strike damage and also any wood out there will rot slower if it's raining.
Another tip to get enemies to slow down before they reach your base is to put a big chunk storage zone right outside your base borders. I always put turrets next to the doors in the wall to my domain, so that any raiders get slowed down by the chunk pile, so that the turrets have more time to shoot them.
Chunks provide 50% cover though. I try and build a little killbox around a type of ground that slows enemies down naturally like soft sand, water or mud. If you have resources to spare, instead of chunks you could make a few animal boxes. That used to be a meta a good while ago as they only provide 15% cover. But they also break easily, so it might no longer be worth it
very useful stuff too for intermediate players that don't have their heads quite out of the box yet (... like me) The freezer room a/c chimney and meal break spots next to workstations, particularly, I am going to implement right away.
Assign your pawns to tasks they like to do. There will be a flame icon next to these skills on the bio screen. There will also be a flag on these skills on the work screen (where you set the work priority number). When pawns perform tasks they enjoy, they earn experience in that skill faster and get a “passion for my work” mood buff.
I know person who after over 500h didnt realise that the wealthier your colony isthe more demanding is for its relaxation kinds, the more expectations they have from you (ery beginning of the game you have "Extremely low expectations" which means +30 mood , cause your base has low market value, but as you become richer its aproaches "Sky high expectations which mean that you get +0 mood
This is the only game I know where not knowing one TINY LITTLE THING can mean a game over. I want to say that something like 20-25 playthroughs have ended due to me not knowing that self tend was a BOX THAT NEEDS TO BE CHECKED!!! I always assumed self tend was disabled due to a low medical skill…ugh. Well at least that’s one less easily avoidable reason for catastrophic failure.
There is interesting trick l wanna mention to you. You can make wall and make two side roofed also place little chemfuel under the roof. And you can use that wall as a trap for raiders. Just hit the wall when you saw the raid event to one hit point then make last hit when raiders are in right spot. They will get hurt and catch fire which will cost you just 5 wood and a little chemfuel. Also you need to set up it manually of course. You can use that trick also on the animals sleeping nearby wall
4:55 Just draft and undraft pawns, they should have firefighting set to 1 so no fire is an issue. I built wooden bases for a few houndred hours and fire wasn't an issue even a single time. Just rush to put it out. Also don't worry about burns, they happen in time intervals so if you can put down a fire in a few seconds you will likely be unharmed. But yeah, open doors are not enough and making holes can help.
These are some amazing tips! I've been playing for a bit but I had no clue you can reorganize the paw pictures at the top of the screen. Or the queing tasks
the cooler in the cave is so smart, I literally would make the cave having a weak point with a normal wall just to install the cooler, never thought about simply removing the roof in a little area
Then i just look up few thinks on the wiki, one realises that this game is soooo COMPLEX, Example then you want faster research you cant only check light, cleaness in the room, but also how good sight or manipulation of your pawn is (capped in 110%, needs bionic/archotech eyes) and even "global labor sped" (which has NO CAP!! .. potencial for modding and raising some extreme arm replacements mods) !! Many others checking all your paws and know how to use them effeciently is a must on normal and higher difficulties .. if you have paw with trigger happy (-50% aim time and -5% accuracy ? No dont just give him sword, but give him grenades -> he will throw them 2x as fast as anybody else .. massive dmg and even best way to hold mechanoids in chokepoints under concentrated fire (^-^)b
oh yeah, I always love to have at least one trigger happy pawn with grenades or EMPs. And same goes for a careful shooter, dont give them grenades as they will aim longer but it doesnt affect the accuracy of the grenade
Hay floor is cheap and can absorb some filth, that makes it a good replacement for sterile silver floor at early game, specially if you play tribal. Use it in your kitchen and research room!
I will add some more: Nutrient paste dispenser will free your colony from the need of a dedicated cook. Yes there will be mood debuff for eating it in vanilla, but nutrient paste has 0% food poisoning chance. If you have ideology enabled, you can set the precept to make them dont mind (or even love) nutrient paste. Youre going to still need someone with good enough cooking for going out, but you can just let them cook some simple meals whenever you wish to go caravaning. And tribal enemies drops pemmicans, which you can use for further caravans anyway. TLDR: Nutrient paste dispenser good
@@beastebeat4956 yeah it's nice! In "the 5 best advanced rimworld tricks" video I tested it as trick number 5. You could even cover up your entire base if you'd want to go that extreem :D
Materials only deteriorate outdoors if they're uncovered. Setting up some minor roofing above a stack will prevent materials from being damaged by the elements. That said you should be wary about placing just anything outside because animals will interact with and eat many things available to them - not just food and biomatter.
A roof will not prevent deterioration outdoors, but it will slow down the rate of deterioration. To stop deterioration completely you will need to place items inside a building with a roof.
Considering how incredibly unfair and impossible the game is proving to be I’m going to need this I’ve been staying on commitment mode but this game is pushing me to my limit, and fo make the game possible I had to edit the crashlanders scenario to give myself and extra person, and then during that first run with an extra person I got far in, then some bullshit happened, it was too much I wasn’t going to recover So I think I’m just going to self-enforce commitment mode if I can and use the power of saving and loading to prevent bs like what I experienced, or I’ll just further buff my starting set so that I can have a chance
@SpartiniMartini Intrigued by the dead *unexploded* boomrat at 3:30 and again (presumably) the same at 4:20. Is that another trick we don't know about? :P Or maybe it's just me being nooby.
1000+ Hours Played I didn't know two of these. #2, being able to change the colonist icon positions on the top of the screen. I feel like this has been added in an update. I don't recall it was in the game during Alpha 17. #13, click + dragging a group of drafted units to spread them apart. Of course, I didn't know this because *it was added in an update.* Ugh, I should look at the patch notes more often. Anyways, thank you for this information, sir! +1
Additionally. You could use the A/C as bait. Instead of blocking it off, you can put a Trap in front of it. This is of course, not viable if you're low on metal or Components(or food).
I believe the dragging of pawn icons was added around 1.0 or 1.1, it wasnt there when I started playing either. I was so surprised when someone pointed it out on twitch :D
That trick with the removing rooves behind ac units is going to be very helpful although I do worry that drop pods will potentially land there as my entire base is rooved to prevent droppers
droppod raids can still attack through thinrockroofs and manmade roofs, but not the overhead mountain roofs. They can however not land on animal sleeping spots, so you could cover your vunerable area's with that to cheese the game if you really wanted to.
Stealing insect Jelly is sooo good when you do a naked brutality ice sheet run. That's when I really started using it a lot. I'm glad I was able to teach you something new :D
Your tip no 2 says that you can reorder your guys by dragging their portraits with the left mouse button. However, that does not work for me. Am I doing something wrong? Or is this something you need a mod for? I have currently no mods installed.
1. Burn your corpse stockpile zone with molotovs 2. Don't let your base get caught on fire 3. Use non-burning construction materials for construcing a fireproof base 4. Insult betas at every opportunity
since raids are based on wealth, if you delete stockpiles, are they considered part of your wealth? could this be used as a way to regulate the raids you get?
it will still count as the wealth that is on your map. If you go to the third tab in the tab that shows your wealth graph, you should be able to see your map wealth seperatly from your "claimed" wealth
@@SpartiniMartini question: if you settle a nearby map tile, deposit a whole bunch of wealth there, and abandon it, can you get your stuff back if you resettle there?
@@matthewlove2473 no, once you destroy that "settlement" it deletes it from the map and thus the stuff on it. Its a nice way to dump your wealth if you're desperate, but I prefer gifting things to nearby factions to get allies and lower wealth at the same time

Pro tip, walls are much faster and cheaper to deconstruct/reconstruct compared to doors. In case of fire, knock down the walls, not the door.

you're correct, good sir. Thank you for the correction
In the outfits tab, set the default health percentage to 51-100. This will make your pawns avoid tattered clothing. Just make sure you have extra as otherwise, they will get a debuff from being naked.
nice one!
THANK YOU!!
You can also cremate clothing that has 50% health or less and set your tailor bench to produce clothing until 1 or 2 are in the stockpile. That way you don't have to care about clothing at all, except for armor maybe.
You can also set them not to wear clothes with a durability of 49 or less. Then if their own clothes deteriorate below this, they will take them off and look for others.
I wish they added no dressing\undressing without command. I hate it when pawns try to put on what I don't intend for them. But if I set naked policy they UNdress.

Just some extra tips i find useful
-always keep an unistalled spyke trap somewere to install it quickly behind a door with your incapable of violence pawns so that they can be of some use in raids (very useful in naked brutality early game too)
-if you floor an area with mountain roof infestation chances decrease
-always build wooden furniture underground but only stone walls so that if you get an infestation you can just burn that room.
-raugh stone floor does not produce filth so it's good for kitchens in early game and not expencive at all
-pawns will equip shield belts even if they have a ranged weapn, be sure to check who has them before a raid, you can stop this by disabling shield belts in the cothing restrictions.
-armor is a real game changer, try getting basic plate armor for your melee pawns as soon as possible, esepcially if you aren't using automated defences.
-some traders buy wood, when you find one send all your people cutting wood so you can stockpile some silver for the next trader (beware, it will also increase colony wealth)
-colony wealth affects how big raids get, you should try lowering it if it gets too difficult
-loosing a pawn makes you get easyer threats for some time, maybe thet addicted pyro is not so useless after all...
-luciferium is hard to get but you can farm it in ancient danger by settling in tiles next to your base and then abbandoning them after clearing the ancient danger
-installing peg limbs on prisoners is a good way to farm medical skill, you can release rhem afterwards for faction reputation
-some times the organs are worth more than the prisoner, keep it in mind when selling to a slaver.
-if you have a lot of meat eating pets you can let them eat the bodies (rats seem to be the most efficient at this)
-if a "wanderer joins" event gives you a pawn with a weapon and good meals it's very likely is's a trador but it's just a red flag, make them drop the weapon and remain unarmed for some days
-you can equip wood as a weapon (very useful in naked brutality)
If wild animals attack a trader's animal don't stop them, if the animal dies it drops all the loot it has and you can take it for free.
-when travellers have some items to sell the one with the "?" on his had has all the items in the inventory, you can check it with the gear button so you don't have to whaste time to trade just to see what they have.
-if you have a pawn with a melee weapon, you draft it and select attack you can hover your mouse on foggy areas of the map (like a mountain) when the icon of the cursor changes it means there is a free tile there, you can mine it to discover hidden areas of the map
-if there is a thrumbo on the map you can hit it once and hide in your base, it will go manhunt and take care of raids for you (or get killed so you can butcher it)
Great tips! Thanks for sharing
Excellent! Thank you.
Some of those are so cold, you probably don't even need to set up refrigeration.
Farm boomrats and send them into the enemy group that is just preparing to attack you using zones. Hilarity ensues.
Alternative: send them into your killbox to distract the incoming enemies.
Also works with normal rats. They even then can eat the dead raiders.
Wow, I never would've thought to use a roof exhaust for my freezer. That's a great idea!
If you can't go horizontal, go vertical :D
I was thinking the same thing, gonna try this.
@@SpartiniMartini #15. This method will reduce the efficiency of the AC unit. The game still compares the temperature differential of the inside and outside. One tile will bring that area up to 40-50 degrees C and you'll have to build more AC units to keep up a large freezer. A solution to this is to expand the exhaust area until it is stable with the outside ambient temperature.
The exhaust can also be used to heat a room if you're in a cold biome.
@@ethanwessel3911 that one tile is the exact same temp as 80 tiles outside because it is unroofed. If it was roofed, then what you said was right, but in the set up in the video the hot air goes outside and thus disappears
Poor and awful stone beds have a use: the lower the rest effectiveness of a bed, the longer a pawn sleeps, which makes terrible beds ideal for prisoners, since pawns will not experience a mental break while they are sleeping.
yes but the lack of comfort makes the breaks more likely in the first place
@@codyvandal2860 you can make up for that comfort value in other places, like the quality of prison tables & chairs.
I wish you could have different classes of slaves. Like the Romans, have miners/farmers or a upper tier Slave that does research and other things. Maybe even allow Slave to be a Warden. Like make a slave prison where the slaves run the whole show and never leave so only the resources are ever brought out by pawns.
@@oddersisadog Slaves running the show was a thing that the Norse (vikings) did.
l never think about that actually it is kinda makes sense though l don't think l will use it. l generally don't make any bad for prisoners. There must be one excellent bad that l use for surgery and tending stuff. Also l don't feed them at first to make them weaker
4:39 If you put a sandbag in the tile where the heat is directed, it will prevent drop pod raids from targeting that tile, for a safe indoor chimney.
Smart! you could also place an animal sleeping spot there. That would prevent it too and it doesnt cost you materials
I've got a few other tips for you.
1. When rolling your pawns, try to prioritize Construction on at least 2 of them. The reason is that construction passionate pawns (number wont matter as much if they have a burning passion.) are extremely rare from raids or travelers. They are about 5 times rarer then the next rarest pawn.
2. Improving beauty. Daybloom can grow with normal lighting inside rooms and doesn't need a sunlamp, so its a good source of early beauty. Jade is 10x more effective than marble walls and just as durable, so if you have jade, make it into walls. If you want to improve beauty with jade on the cheap, jade fence is 1 jade per 5 beauty.
3. Kneel pillows are the best Ideology sitting object as they can be used as chairs and only be slightly worse than wooden chairs, but have 30x the beauty value. (Devilsthread kneel pillows are worth an average of 225 beauty.)
4. You can overcome the requirements of high life with beer and psycheleaf tea set at 3 and 2 days respectfully. With this setup you will never get addictions nor really much manipulation loss unlike smokeleaf and its 30% loss.
5. Autobongs can be used near the end of your killbox before the sandbags if you have high life. Raiders and bugs that pass through them will have a massive 30% less consciousness, which makes them very inaccurate and more likely to get knocked unconscious.
6. For sunlamps, you can easily keep them up and powered as early as the first year if you have enough components. 2 solar panels will equal a single sun lamp even under volcanic winter, and solar panels stop working the same time sunlamps turn off, making them pair extremely well together.
7. it is recommended to only have a few allies to trade with instead of making friends with everyone, as if you have too many friends, all your human raids will be replaced with mechanoid raids.
Solid tips! I got another one for you in return. You can make jade fences for 1 jade per fence and it will increase the beauty in your room a lot
@@SpartiniMartini Oh yeah, but I'm the person who uses barricks, not rooms. Its a lot more space effective to get a +3 barricks than ti is to run around with a bunch of +4 rooms since you can combine the temple, barricks, rec, and dining rooms together. And if the barricks is good enough, you don't even have the interrupted sleep moodlet.
Or at the very least make friends with the outlanders faction so that you have more variety of options in buying industrial+ items
Here's a few more:
1. Alternating sandbags in a corridor will make enemies move much slower through it.
2. Statues are the best way to increase room impressiveness resulting in positive mood buffs.
3. You can put grow zones on berry bushes/ambrosia sprouts if you disable sowing on those zones. Pawns will automatically gather the berries/ambrosia when they're harvestable, but won't cut the plants down.
4. 2 solar panels can power a single sun lamp. Hooking them up in their own circuit will make the sunlamp work as a replacement sun when you can't have the plants exposed to the sky normally.
good tips! I've been using the 3rd one for ages now. It's always nice to lower the amount of micromanagement in a big colony
as for the fourth tip, it depends on the biome. I'm on the north pole for my current playthrough and in the winter there is basically no sun to be had so I can't use solar panels.
You’re my hero for tip #3 dude… I’ve been leaving the blue Ambrosia event box on the right side of the screen so I don’t forget about them and that has been so annoying to constantly check back on and see if I should harvest it yet. It’s one of the good events I used to get and say “blech that’s kinda annoying”, haha
Few tips of my own that I didn't see in the comments or video:
1) Infestations are slightly less likely to occur in lit rooms. If building a mountain base, considering making one unlit, un-floored room out of the way and in a special location. Infestations won't be guaranteed there, but they're be more likely. You can build a special killbox here to deal with any insectoids.
2) Speaking of killboxes; when providing an area for your colonists to shoot from, always make sure that it is covered and unlit. The roof will ensure that any rain will not negatively effect your colonists aim, and the darkness will make you slightly harder to hit.
3) Placing a sleeping spot, crafting spot, animal sleeping spot, etc next to a sleeping mechanoid will wake it up. This can be useful if you leave a sleeping cluster and wake them up to attack any raiders on your behalf; or if you just want to draw the machines to your defenses without getting a pawn too close.
4) Sappers are more likely to go after an area of wall that is not being protected by a turret. While it may be draining on your power supply, if you surround your walls with turrets, you have a higher chance of leading sappers where you want them to go.
5) Consider keeping your chemfuel in a unique storage zone away from your other supplies, possibly in a stone room. Should something happens that causes them to catch fire, they won't destroy all of your supplies.
Good tips, but darkness no longer affects accuracy or hit chance. It got changed a good while back
@@SpartiniMartini Good to know!
If you want a tip for sleep schedule, 3 hours for recreation (or meditation if tribal), 3 for sleep and then 6 for work and repeat once for 12 hour days keeps your pawns much happier overall, as they will always have the well rested and high recreation mood buffs. It comes at the cost of some productivity tho and is only good if your pawns don't have to move too far to their jobs, but not having mental breaks during or before raids really helps with surviving.
credits to the streamer adamvseverything for that one.
I personally also advice to get a good constructor as soon as possible, as they can craft higher quality beds meaning your pawns need less sleep. I tend to use my inspirations on double beds for that reason too. qualitybuilder is also a great quality of life mod. it doesnt add anything new, just makes it so only your best builder works on the thing you make if quality matters, and you can set which quality you want at least, if it isn't good enough your builder will deconstruct and try again until the wanted quality is gained. this can drain resources tho, so be careful.
Man... I laughed so hard when I saw that you gave your cat the name "Dog" 😂
One thing concerning smoothed floor and walls : Those give more wealth than more regular floor and walls. On top of that theya re really really slow to smooth. So if you build a base inside a mountain, don't smooth everything. Instead only smooth what is useful. You can always remove the floor and smooth later if you wish.
Very true! I often end up smoothing my bedroom & prison floors in a mountainbase and use materials for the other rooms, or I'd be smoothing for days on end
As a small tip, I'd say to smooth walls first, since they net more beauty than floors, and are faster to do. Also, you can then mine them, thus destroying the wall and lowering the wealth.
However, smoothing floors is a great way to train "Construction" for the same reasons.
Smoothing floors may add some wealth, but it's a trivial amount for any but the most min-maxy of min-maxers: smooth floors have a market value of about 8 (the same as stone tile) but IF their value is considered in the raid point calculation (see below) they're considered "buildings" (like walls, furniture, etc.). Building value is halved for raid strength, so that leaves you with a value of 4 per tile, meaning 100 tiles of smooth floor is less than the value of that extra sniper rifle that's been kicking around since you're first siege (530), and the same as 210 units of steel or 190 units of plainleather in the storeroom. 100 tiles aren't much more than that donkey you keep for old time's sake and the occasional road trip (315), and much less than that bear that used to tank but now just loafs around (700 + 56 points if it's trained to attack). If you're a meth lab proprietor those 100 tiles are worth 28 units of flake or 19 yayo, so sell that shit fast! That raid you butchered 'cause everybody's a crazy cannibal now? 100 tiles = 95 human leather or 200 human meat (and don't get me started on organs!). Even a thousand tiles of smoothed stone (4000) is negligible compared to the other buildings/items/pawns a base of that size would contain. Floors just aren't that much compared to an additional 13% move speed.
Yes, you could get the same movement speed with flagstone, which would be 2.7 per tile, so that's a cost-saving route assuming you have stone cutters and want to min-max but keep the move speed. The +2 beauty bonus (going from -1 for rough stone to +1 for smooth) isn't much compared to throwing a statue into the room, too, so smoothed floors aren't getting you too much there. On the plus side smoothing stone is a great side project to keep constructors happy and maintaining or building their skills without having to acquire any other resources.
All that said, AFAIK it's still an open question as to whether floors add anything to raid strength. They add wealth, but wealth ≠ raid point strength. Floors aren't technically "buildings" like benches, or "structures" like walls or doors (whose value is merged with buildings for raid point calculations). They don't have hp and can't be claimed. If you were not as distractible as I am or prone to writing overly long RUclips comments you could check using "write storyteller" in dev mode. It shows the raid points.
@@ichifish I loved the in depth analysis 👌 ......I'm off to make some human hats now
@@matthewthompson9769 lol.
For the win!
Claiming stuff and deleting home area around them is also useful when you do it to some walls/ruins on the other end of the map.
Those structures are considered "yours" as far as raiders are concerned and some of them often stop to punch/lit them on fire and that way you dont get the entire raid at once but they will come in several groups.
Double points for some idiot with a stick bomb/grenades - those guys have a chance of actually killing its own friends in hillarious friendly fire incidents that way.
Smart! You can also do this with opening ancient dangers, so the mechs inside will focus on the walls you claimed, giving you time to shoot the casket to unleash more enemies
When I first started I would manually click on each tree or plant and then click chop or harvest. It was a great discovery for me that there's an "Orders" tab that lets me select the chop tree or harvest order then just drag to select a whole area at once.
the wasted time and extra effort, oh no
Number 19 is deeply rooted in real life. It's the reason why whenever there's an exam session, all students start to clean up their rooms instead of studying.
Thanks for the tip on chairs, didn't know that! Here's one in return: right next to where you switch pawns over to doctor care there is a button labeled "defaults" and if you click it brings up a dialogue where you can quickly switch those settings for all the members of your colony
great tip, thank you!
3:10 go to the assign buuton down and quick adjust all your pawns to medical care with no medicine and then go to default and adjust all to medical care with no medicine so you don't have to micro-manage every time you get a new colonist, a new animal or you capture a prisoner.
You didn't waste anytime and got straight to the point, I loved it. Keep up the good videos.
Thank you!
All research rooms should be separate rooms, like kitchen areas, and when you can produce it, should use sterile tiles for flooring. Also, with kitchens, your butcher area and cooking area should be sperate rooms to help prevent food poisoning from the butcher area, which is considered dirty by the game.
why should research rooms be separate?
@@tagwanted1840 i would like to know the same,
Tagging on
The research speed is faster with a clean room. You can check this by clicking the research bench and go into the research speed thing on that tab
@@JohnSmith-bs9ym i already know that, but what difference is there when putting one research table in a clean room versus two research tables in one clean room
@@tagwanted1840 haven't played with that myself but the thought behind that is probably along the lines of less facilities per room, less traffic, thus less dirt?
The a/c trick with the roof is so clever. And then I thought about my solution - I funnel air through the wall to the outside, but then I build a wall around that one outdoor tile so it it protected from attackers, and I mark it as no roof. It's the same result but more complicated and needs the freezer to be on an outer wall. What an idiot!
Thanks for showing me the more elegant solution.
That's exactly what I used to do until I figured out you can remove the roof of just 1tile and use it as an exhaust :D
another small tip, if you want stuff to deteriorate quicker (like rotten corpses) you can simply drag them to local body of water or swamp. another alternative to remove things is to make small stone room, drag everything in it and set it on fire with incendiary of any kind (molotov...etc). Dont need crematorium with its power drain.
What about a steam geiser with a walled in room will tjat work, or will that not be enuf to set the clothes on fire, playing on arid shrubland and am considering atunomous options so i dont waste time destroying
or simply throw grenades at the corpses until they're erased for good
I liked this video, it reminded me what default Rimworld UI looks like. I couldnt remember life before RimHUD.
Rimhud is life. My favourite mod of all times
Use storage priorities to direct items you want to one place while maintaining overflow storage. I want medpacks by the hospital bed, raise their importance, and they'll be put there first. Good for keeping some food in the dining room, moving drugs or other things like clothing, chocolate or cyber parts around.
see, this is why i still watch these. I've been playing since well before launch and didnt know about sorting the pawns at the top of the screen
I've heard the pawn sorting thing from a lot of other veteran players aswell. Maybe it got added a bit later on?
I swear they added this in some super secret update one day, haha. That one slipped by me for ages too
3:53 you don't need three sandbags. One is just enough. The one who is necessary is the one behind the wall, the down-right one. Also, because you may don't have leather of cloth or wool, you can put a barricade.
I've been losing so many colonist by infections, now I know, building storages on mountains wasn't the brightest idea
unless you can keep the storages below -17 degrees celcius, I don't recommend them in mountains :D
I've been playing Rimworld since early kickstarter and easily have thousands of hours in the game. Despite this, I still have found a lot of great little tips in your videos. Keep up the great work!
Glad I was able to show you something new!
400+ hours in this game, and I never know I could use SHIFT to queue multiple tasks.
oh no... at least now you know!
Oof. That’s painful lol
I knew you could... but I didn't know about rearranging pawns at the top. Actually a lie, I did, I have just never been able to get it to work. I click the left mouse button. I then try to drag... and it just creates a selection box as normal. I have no idea what witchery this is to actually SEE someone doing it.
@@girlbuu9403 same, but now I know it is possible I am going to keep trying till I find how to do it, maybe it is a very specific part of the frame you have to click?

Walking Speed is influenced by many factors... true but I think daytime would have been worth mentioned. I often wondered why anymals could outrun my pawns when i was a beginner - Light below 50% will slow you down, but wont slow down animals (which is kind of weird, it would make sense for animals known for seing good at night)
I've had it before that I was kiting bugs but at night they suddenly caught up to me as I was slower, that's indeed a good thing to know!
I've clocked up over 4000 hours playing this and I didn't know about the left click queue activities! Excellent video, thank you!
If you have any tips on how to boost social relationships in the colony, I would love to hear :) (I schedule their recreation together, I try to keep production in the one room so they can talk etc but it still seems to take a long time to build and is painful to watch a new person join and exclaim they don't have a single friend in the colony! Maybe I just need to get them more pets...)
@@jupo9928 4k hours without queuing sounds terrible :D. For making friends, best and most efficient way I know of is indeed scheduling their recreational times together so you force them to be with eachother. But some people like psycopaths dont even get friends 99% of the time
Tip #21: Sappers and sieges occur much more often if raiders cant reach Bedroom doors without breaking doors or digging walls, leave an open(but heavily defended path) to you bedrooms so raiders dont ignore all those expensive defensees
I never knew about that. Would it work to just put one bedroom at the end of your killbox and the others somewhere save?
@@SpartiniMartini If I am correct, the raiders don't go for the closest but choose one bed upon arrival.
@@1973Louis that would be the hardest to exploit yeah
So have a grounds keeper shack out
2 things I found out the hard way: don't build to the edge of the map since it makes it tougher to defend against mechs and rivers are great for power and good for slowing down attacks but are more difficult to wall off.
There is a mod called Simply more bridges which allows you to build bridges from stones, it's great to wall off rivers :D
@@SpartiniMartini I've used that mod to make an oceanbase once. super fun but required an absurd amount of materials.
The thing about the mod for a regular playthrough is that rivers are kinda balanced in the way that you can only build wood defenses on them but are great for power, the mod removes the downside making the upside even stronger.
Not saying you shouldn't use it, but keep it in mind. The way I play in rimworld is I crank up the difficulty by doing less wealth management more if I uses overpowered mods or ideoligions. (I play max difficulty already so can't simply crank up difficulty and have to do it with wealth)
New to Rimworld. Didn't know the trick for making firefighting safer, that'll definitely come in handy. Thanks.
Making prisoner beds out of stone will keep them in bed longer, slightly reducing their chance to attempt a breakout/mental break
Good trick!
I just downloaded Rimworld over the weekend and #3 and #8 will be a BIG help. Thanks :)
Goodluck and have fun!
Shift to cue up tasks has greatly improved my quality of life.
If you place corpses around a steam geyser they will turn to skeletons very rapidly. Reducing the rot time.
Adding onto tip 20, minified buildings also don't deteriorate outdoors. So you can store store completed statues, furniture, spare production buildings, batteries, and any other building. But I'd recommend roofing the space -- avoid lighting strike damage and also any wood out there will rot slower if it's raining.
Another tip to get enemies to slow down before they reach your base is to put a big chunk storage zone right outside your base borders. I always put turrets next to the doors in the wall to my domain, so that any raiders get slowed down by the chunk pile, so that the turrets have more time to shoot them.
Chunks provide 50% cover though. I try and build a little killbox around a type of ground that slows enemies down naturally like soft sand, water or mud. If you have resources to spare, instead of chunks you could make a few animal boxes. That used to be a meta a good while ago as they only provide 15% cover. But they also break easily, so it might no longer be worth it
@@SpartiniMartini Thank you! I didn't know that it gave cover! I'll consider making a killbox instead
very useful stuff too for intermediate players that don't have their heads quite out of the box yet (... like me)
The freezer room a/c chimney and meal break spots next to workstations, particularly, I am going to implement right away.
Assign your pawns to tasks they like to do. There will be a flame icon next to these skills on the bio screen. There will also be a flag on these skills on the work screen (where you set the work priority number).
When pawns perform tasks they enjoy, they earn experience in that skill faster and get a “passion for my work” mood buff.
A niche thing but tunnelers can put fungal gravel in killboxes to slow pawns down a little more.
bigbrain! I didn't even think about that yet
I know person who after over 500h didnt realise that the wealthier your colony isthe more demanding is for its relaxation kinds, the more expectations they have from you (ery beginning of the game you have "Extremely low expectations" which means +30 mood , cause your base has low market value, but as you become richer its aproaches "Sky high expectations which mean that you get +0 mood
keeping the wealth as low as possible while still setting up a great defense on high difficulties is a trick itself
This is the only game I know where not knowing one TINY LITTLE THING can mean a game over. I want to say that something like 20-25 playthroughs have ended due to me not knowing that self tend was a BOX THAT NEEDS TO BE CHECKED!!!

That AC unit ceiling trick is going to come in handy. Wow.
Great basic knowledge for everyone. I have 2000 hours in Rimworld and i still learned a trick or two.
good to hear!
There is interesting trick l wanna mention to you. You can make wall and make two side roofed also place little chemfuel under the roof. And you can use that wall as a trap for raiders. Just hit the wall when you saw the raid event to one hit point then make last hit when raiders are in right spot. They will get hurt and catch fire which will cost you just 5 wood and a little chemfuel. Also you need to set up it manually of course. You can use that trick also on the animals sleeping nearby wall
Loving that trap hallway . I HAVE to try it 😍
I’ve been playing since alpha and always thought all stone types had the same stats
At least now you know :D
Thanks for sharing! I just started out and these tips are very helpful :)
4:55 Just draft and undraft pawns, they should have firefighting set to 1 so no fire is an issue. I built wooden bases for a few houndred hours and fire wasn't an issue even a single time. Just rush to put it out. Also don't worry about burns, they happen in time intervals so if you can put down a fire in a few seconds you will likely be unharmed. But yeah, open doors are not enough and making holes can help.
These are some amazing tips! I've been playing for a bit but I had no clue you can reorganize the paw pictures at the top of the screen. Or the queing tasks
Really good info at a good pace. Thank ya!
the cooler in the cave is so smart, I literally would make the cave having a weak point with a normal wall just to install the cooler, never thought about simply removing the roof in a little area
realised that deep within caves you can't have the roof removed :(
great video some excellent things in here I didn't even know! Thanks for sharing!
I'm glad I was able to teach you something new!
Then i just look up few thinks on the wiki, one realises that this game is soooo COMPLEX, Example then you want faster research you cant only check light, cleaness in the room, but also how good sight or manipulation of your pawn is (capped in 110%, needs bionic/archotech eyes) and even "global labor sped" (which has NO CAP!! .. potencial for modding and raising some extreme arm replacements mods) !! Many others checking all your paws and know how to use them effeciently is a must on normal and higher difficulties .. if you have paw with trigger happy (-50% aim time and -5% accuracy ? No dont just give him sword, but give him grenades -> he will throw them 2x as fast as anybody else .. massive dmg and even best way to hold mechanoids in chokepoints under concentrated fire (^-^)b
oh yeah, I always love to have at least one trigger happy pawn with grenades or EMPs. And same goes for a careful shooter, dont give them grenades as they will aim longer but it doesnt affect the accuracy of the grenade
Hay floor is cheap and can absorb some filth, that makes it a good replacement for sterile silver floor at early game, specially if you play tribal. Use it in your kitchen and research room!
Okay, not gonna lie, that 'Freezer AC Exhaust' tip is a really good one. I'll have to keep that one in mind. ^^
glad you liked it!
“You can steal insect jelly at night while the bugs are still sleeping”
Me with 140 hours of gameplay: :O
I will add some more:
Nutrient paste dispenser will free your colony from the need of a dedicated cook. Yes there will be mood debuff for eating it in vanilla, but nutrient paste has 0% food poisoning chance. If you have ideology enabled, you can set the precept to make them dont mind (or even love) nutrient paste. Youre going to still need someone with good enough cooking for going out, but you can just let them cook some simple meals whenever you wish to go caravaning. And tribal enemies drops pemmicans, which you can use for further caravans anyway.
TLDR: Nutrient paste dispenser good
Make sure to put a barricade in your cooler's exhaust area so it doesn't have and drop pods end up inside.
Good tip! And if you forget, like me, you can also achieve that by putting an animal sleeping spot down
@@SpartiniMartini oh really? That's way more efficient.
@@beastebeat4956 yeah it's nice! In "the 5 best advanced rimworld tricks" video I tested it as trick number 5. You could even cover up your entire base if you'd want to go that extreem :D

Some more excellent Spartini content.
You can build a wall to fill a tile that is under thick rock roof, and thus prevent insects spawning.
yes! that's what i've been doing in my current run. You don't even have to fill up the entire wall since they can't spawn in a 1x1 room.
Instead of using sandbags at the end of a trap maze, columns work a bit better. Sandbags block some animals whereas columns don't.
1,500 hours and I just now learn you can rearrange colonists at the top of the screen. BRB.. gonna go scream in my closet. Lmao
Materials only deteriorate outdoors if they're uncovered. Setting up some minor roofing above a stack will prevent materials from being damaged by the elements. That said you should be wary about placing just anything outside because animals will interact with and eat many things available to them - not just food and biomatter.
A roof will not prevent deterioration outdoors, but it will slow down the rate of deterioration. To stop deterioration completely you will need to place items inside a building with a roof.
Oh... I guess I should stop researching in my corpse stockpile then. >.>
Why stockpile corpses if you can eat them >:D
Considering how incredibly unfair and impossible the game is proving to be I’m going to need this
I’ve been staying on commitment mode but this game is pushing me to my limit, and fo make the game possible I had to edit the crashlanders scenario to give myself and extra person, and then during that first run with an extra person I got far in, then some bullshit happened, it was too much I wasn’t going to recover
So I think I’m just going to self-enforce commitment mode if I can and use the power of saving and loading to prevent bs like what I experienced, or I’ll just further buff my starting set so that I can have a chance
quick and good tips, useful video
@SpartiniMartini Intrigued by the dead *unexploded* boomrat at 3:30 and again (presumably) the same at 4:20. Is that another trick we don't know about? :P Or maybe it's just me being nooby.
If you mark their burning body with a homezone, your pawns will take care of the fire and you'll be able to butcher the corpse
I have to see multiple times a clip over tips and tricks. But this is a good one especially the best I have seen it.
I appreciate it!
These are great tips, thanks.
Pro tip : clean your workshop, it's dirtier than a strip club. Job aside, great vid, I didn't knew about the "no home expend"
Its always sucked that the stone type i like the look of most sucks so much, Slate looks so nice in this game
infestations also happens near deep mining drills
very true, there is a chance of infestations happening once you use a deepdrill

I didn't know two of these.
#2, being able to change the colonist icon positions on the top of the screen.
I feel like this has been added in an update.
I don't recall it was in the game during Alpha 17.
#13, click + dragging a group of drafted units to spread them apart.
Of course, I didn't know this because *it was added in an update.*
Ugh, I should look at the patch notes more often.
Anyways, thank you for this information, sir!

Additionally.
You could use the A/C as bait.
Instead of blocking it off, you can put a Trap in front of it.
This is of course, not viable if you're low on metal or Components(or food).
I believe the dragging of pawn icons was added around 1.0 or 1.1, it wasnt there when I started playing either. I was so surprised when someone pointed it out on twitch :D
the hold shift to que multiple task is a god send
That trick with the removing rooves behind ac units is going to be very helpful although I do worry that drop pods will potentially land there as my entire base is rooved to prevent droppers
droppod raids can still attack through thinrockroofs and manmade roofs, but not the overhead mountain roofs. They can however not land on animal sleeping spots, so you could cover your vunerable area's with that to cheese the game if you really wanted to.
@@SpartiniMartini god damn it. They can't land on stuff like solar panels though right?
@@matthewtalbot-paine7977 solar panels, sandbags, barricades, fences and similar things can't be landed on yeah
Хороший монтаж и подача материала)
Hold shift is a game changer
I was so happy when I figured that out :D
Thank you. Stealing insect jelly seems so obvious. I feel like an idiot having not thought of it. Oh and that air conditioner setup is amazing.
Stealing insect Jelly is sooo good when you do a naked brutality ice sheet run. That's when I really started using it a lot. I'm glad I was able to teach you something new :D
ive been playing for hundreds of hours and i just found out i can queue more then on task, pog
The struggle you went through must have been intense :D
Me with almost 1k hours in the game, did not know you could drag and reorder pawns
I HAVE 560 HOURS ON THIS GAME AND I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A PWAN ORGANISATION MOD BUT YOU CAN JUST DRAG THEM TO MOVE THEM?????
I absolutely love your accent
Thank you!
learned few things even with my 400h+ of game
Glad to hear that!
Aaaaaand take my subscription
Your tip no 2 says that you can reorder your guys by dragging their portraits with the left mouse button. However, that does not work for me. Am I doing something wrong? Or is this something you need a mod for? I have currently no mods installed.
Everything was recorded with just the vanilla base game, no mods nor DLC's. Maybe try the right mouse button?
1. Burn your corpse stockpile zone with molotovs
2. Don't let your base get caught on fire
3. Use non-burning construction materials for construcing a fireproof base
4. Insult betas at every opportunity
1000+ hours and I still learned plenty of stuff by watching this lol
Glad to hear that, fellow Rimworld addict
Good tips
ooo info
It's secret intell to beat Randy's ass. Ssssssh....
Do i need chair in fornt of my research table etc?
yes, helps with the comfort of the pawn
since raids are based on wealth, if you delete stockpiles, are they considered part of your wealth? could this be used as a way to regulate the raids you get?
it will still count as the wealth that is on your map. If you go to the third tab in the tab that shows your wealth graph, you should be able to see your map wealth seperatly from your "claimed" wealth
@@SpartiniMartini question: if you settle a nearby map tile, deposit a whole bunch of wealth there, and abandon it, can you get your stuff back if you resettle there?
@@matthewlove2473 no, once you destroy that "settlement" it deletes it from the map and thus the stuff on it. Its a nice way to dump your wealth if you're desperate, but I prefer gifting things to nearby factions to get allies and lower wealth at the same time
I just split the bodies + chunks (outdoors), anything that spoils (frozen to -5°C) and the everyhing else
