I said it outside of this comment, but I will put it here also; I think I would prefer for this series to end and then go into Bio tech whenever it works, because the ideology is all about nature and tribalism, and the expansion is ultra high tech, I don’t know how that transition could be made to feel natural. On top of that I would like to see the new ending added by each of the DLCs That being said, I understand that it would be better for the channel to release content at the same time as it comes out. So I will just say that I’m happy with whatever you decide! Someone had said that a new game where we start with the defendants of the 3 founder of the previous runs, making a city together could be reeeeally cool
I just want to say that I've been here for a very very long time Mr. Complete. Thanks for making this a great journey. I hope you're able to work things out, not for my sake as a fan, but for your own sake. I so sincerely hope that this is one of those times where as an adult you find new ways to tackle life's challenges and it's just a hurdle. You know? That soon you'll look back and this will just be another great thing you've achieved. That even if you have ongoing issues that you beat it by taking it seriously. That's all we can do as people. Whatever you do, as long as it's for you and what you need, then it is the right call. You don't have to like or reply or any of that nonsense. I don't care about any of that. But I do hope you read this message and I hope that you understand that many of us feel this way because it's a genuine empathetic human response. Iso hali 💜
Bio Tech is coming with the ability to make children, so I think you should do a new game for it but set it 100 years in the future with starting colonialists descended from each of your previous rimworld series. So Cambia, The Steak House and the Cold Bog all bleed together into a new place, I'd set it some place more casual so you can really build a big twon without dealing with 99 panthers showing up.

For the panther quest, I'd say wait until the last minute before the quest expires and then see how many pawns are still on mental breaks; if half of the colony isn't in fighting shape, then you'll need to pass. However, if nearly everyone is ready to go, then panthers shouldn't be too difficult with guns and some creative kiting. For the luciferium, I'm not sure if you have anyone in bad shape enough yet to risk it yet, especially since it will then start healing up the scars you've been so diligently granting them. You do have enough of a supply that you can be pretty sure of finding more before you run out, though, if it becomes necessary. Regarding Biotech, it sounds like it provides a neat ramp up through the three colonies of the Archonexus quest. This first colony is barely edging into modernity, and starting a new colony is a good way to switch that up and allow a clean segue into a vanilla high-tech lifestyle with maybe some aspects of gene modding and childraising thrown in. The third colony can go all-in on the Biotech, going ultra high-tech and controlling mechanoids. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
I wouldn't mind waiting on Biotech. I love this playthrough as it is, and also i would love to see a new one focused around Biotech, so the best way in my eyes would be to just give you the time to play through it as long as it takes. In the end, I'll watch whatever you'll decide to make and if you want to incorporate the DLC go for it ^^ The most important thing to all of us probably is that you keep your fun at doing all this hard work. Do what is necessary, do what you like and we'll probably get to watch some more lovely Rimworld episodes. Thanks for all of that Pete!
Nooooooooo! My beautiful boy 😧You served well. Onwards to Bearhalla for your eternal feast (until Pete finds a resurrector mech serum 😉) On a side note, Pete, you have given so much to this community. This is the only place I bother with notifications since I know that every episode is treated with a creativity, care, and professionalism unmatched by any other channel I view. I for one am proud to support such a talented individual as yourself and insist that you take every measure to get your head when you need it to be. Even if that is to step back from this creative direction. Doctor's orders. Take care, my friend.
If the goal is archotech then there is a golden opportunity when you trade your settlement in. After you give your settlement away, start a new game in Biotech, be sure to use the same seed, from this playthrough. Then godmode your way to the same step in the archonexus quest, and set your colonists/items/relationships/etc to match the 5 colonists, 5 animals, 1 relic, and 7 items you chose to keep in this ideology playthrough. You're allowed to change ideoligion when you sell the colony too, so that's a good enough thematic excuse to incorporate any new features you may want at the same time.
Wow, this episode was nuts! The way Pete handled a casual 3 waves of a total of 300 Raiders was insane! I love the Neuroquake ability, with it's drawbacks as a last resort ability, and the way Freya (definitely my favourite pawn after this episode) blinked in, wreaked havoc upon the raiders and hopped back out (AS A PACIFIST) was super fun to watch. I adore the narrative way Pete set up the ideology and plays it out, looking forward to every new episode!
2 powerful psycasters wreaking havoc on literal armies was awesome to behold! Spec's gambit (Professor X level psycast) cemented the superiority of the Cult of Jingz across the rim.
It’s really interesting seeing you play a larger colony after the last two ones were smaller. Also I agree with most others in the comments that I like how each of these series cover different expansions, I’m happy to wait for the biotech one. I also want to wish you best of luck with your mental health journey, these videos have always provided me with a lot of comfort in hard times but they wouldn’t be anything without the man behind them! I’m fine with less videos if it means less stress for you.
I'd like to see this series play out naturally, regardless of whether or not that includes the new expac. Running two series simultaneously is an option if you wish to get into the expac immediately, although it would lead to episodes for each series being more spaced out I assume. Since both are Rimworld content though, that's not a huge downside to your viewers. Honestly, having the contrast of alternating between The Cult of Jingx and a super high tech colony could end up being rather interesting. I imagine I'll be watching regardless of what you do with the current series, though. Your skill in this game never ceases to amaze me; I learn a lot from watching you play. Congrats on your latest victories!
One idea is to increase the tech level with each new colony. This one is limited to tribal, the next one can be industrial, the last one can be spacer and include biotech. As pointed out by other people you won’t want to add bio tech too early after release as the new DLCs tend to go through a large amount of balance changes
We love you, Pete. Good luck with your mental health journey. I sincerely hope that you are able to consistently be in a healthy and safe hedspace. Take your time and know that you have been such a help to many of us. Your videos have helped me calm my thoughts and enjoy something that is pure and sprinkled with bits of your humour and personality. They have really helped especially when I've been grading multiple papers and feeling completely drained and mentally tired/depressed. :)
I believe accepting the Empire quest for two pieces of Eltex gear would be ideal. However, I suggest putting it off as long as possible on the off-chance that another massive raid happens. If it does, you can accept the quest for 9 powerful reinforcements to throw at it and possibly even delay it long enough for the 91 panthers to arrive and kill the raid for you :p
@@PeteComplete Yeahhhhh, bad habit of typing things for vids before the vid is over because I have *really* bad memory and often forget what I wanted to say XD
Already love that you want to keep on with this game when the new expansion comes out. I'd prefer if you'd go on with this save for a bit longer, waiting for the first bugs and balances to be solved with the Biotech. Starting something new then, would also be my preferred way forward. You will come up with a nice end for the story of this colony, no matter if you reach an endpoint in the game itself. Thanks for this cool series. Hope your mental health improves. *offers virtual hug*
Doesn't the cult have the ability to hold Gladiator matches with prisoners? Could be a good mood boost and it could be a way for prospective cultists to prove themselves. Edit: Also, I think you should have built a stone sarcophagus for Dr. Thunder.
Thanks Mr.Thunder, you won't be forgotten! As for the new exp... I think the easiest would be build the airship with cult of jingz and then keep the "map finale" for a new series.
In terms of getting Biotech into the current playthrough, it would be possible with a bit of behind the scenes tinkering. When you go for a piece of the map it resets your game aside from a handful of colonists and items which retain their skills, relationships, condition etc. Thus it would be possible for you to start a new save file, and use console commands and some mods such as Prepare Carefully or Character Editor to recreate the Cult of Jingz to more or less the exact point it was when you left off (post-map acquisition). Since you basically start again from nothing anyway, it would not be a hard endeavor. This would mean that you could fully integrate the systems of biotech (namely by re-including mechanoids) into the new save file without compromising the playthrough. Whatever you choose to do, I'm sure you will make the right call Pete.
If you decide to go biotech with this series, after the first break would be the obvious place for it. On the other hand, you could save five characters using character editor, then import them into a fresh biotech run. Or break the series and start fresh. Any of these would be OK. For the archonexus colonies 2 and 3 go faster as you start with five good pawns, but at the current pace you'll be at it for another 5-6 months.
I could see this as being a great compromise if you really wanted to introduce Biotech stuff into the Cult. When you go to reform for Colony number 2, introduce the new mechanics. But I would also be absolutely fine with putting off a Biotech run until the Cult series is actually over. Imagine starting a Biotech run with, say, an actual family unit. Mom, Dad, Uncle, Grandma, baby...that sort of thing...and establishing a true dynasty out in the wild.
I finally just got all caught up on this series. I agree with the others in your comments section saying that the cult of Jingz had a good run, and I'd be excited for you to start up a new series featuring the new expansion.
I'm really excited for the new expansion and I would love to see it! I think it signals a good time to start working towards advancing the bog to the end game, and you can start a new series for the DLC when it's finished and all the bugs are more ironed out. My partner and I love watching the RimWorld series and in genuinely just enjoy when you play the way you like the most. In any case we are both excited to see what you choose for the series, but I hope to see the new DLC sometime soon! Also we are both wishing well and hope your health gets better! We're just here to support and show our love!
I think that finishing up this playthrough is preferred before going through the next DLC. There really is no rush and I appreciate the theme you have going here. Maybe after this playthrough you can do an anti-Jingz run full of tech.
What you could do is make note of all of your peoples stats abilities and gear then have them go on a “pilgrimage” and move settlements. Then you creat a new biotech save, re create your people with a mod, then have them start a new colony on the same seed as your current one but in a different location. As part of this, you have access to all the new biotech stuff, and can reactivate the mechinoids by explaining that one day they all woke up and became a menace again.
Luciferium is most useful for selling. 91 panthers is manageable and that eltex gear would be great for a full-on psycaster build. I say make some backups and experiment to see if Biotech runs smoothly, adding before the cult reaches that kind of technology would make it pretty seamless.
I love you Pete. Hope you feel better soon, I love your vids and have watched for years. I love hearing your voice as I play too, I dont feel so alone.
Haven't watched the video yet, but I've just gotta say Pete, you're Rimworld vids are the only thing that put a big smile on my face when I see them in my feed.
Thanks for the new video! Your Rimworld series are the best things on RUclips. as much as it would be awesome if after you took your first map and reset your colony you added biotech, that would be a hard 180 from Tribal playthrough to High Tech Mech's. It would drastically change the feel of the Cult of Jingz. Ultimately though I have faith you would do it justice. And I really want to see the new expansion in your hands. Good video as always
Definitely think that a new series/colony for each expansion works best. Biotech absolutely sounds like a high-tech, Adeptus Mechanicus-esque friendly story option, which is basically the opposite of what we have in the Cold Bog series. To be honest, I think you could complete this series without rushing anything before Biotech is fully polished and its derpy sides fixed up after release. Then we'd have a perfect experience. Amazing fighting this time, the sight of the neuroquake was almost shocking even with Rimworld graphics being what they are. You're a Rimworld fight management pro.
Archonexus is a bit of a time sink, as you'll have to rebuild your base and gather enough wealth another 2 times before completing this run. This will problematic if you want to jump into the next DLC quickly. Also judging by the patch notes it looks like it has some very advanced tech that I'm not sure fits in with the more tribal play through of this series. As for the Panthers hold fire on that one and accept if you are being raided, otherwise it may get messy. Thanks for all your amazing content, stay safe and healthy, please don't push your self and remember time is a great healer, what may appear like a mountain in front of you is often a mole hill in your rearview mirror ❤
Take care and stay save. Mental health is important and I can wait for you getting better. Just come back when you are ready, as I am looking forward to hear from you again. I like your content and the quality of it as well as the way you bring the content. Enjoy your recovery as much as you can and don't push yourself too much.
So. My idea for an ending is that the tribe travels to the downed ship to leave. It is still a “new” ending! Traveling across the world is very hard to do and quite the adventure.
Maybe an idea for Biotech would be to switch it on in the next phase, the industrial one? Lore-wise it could be that the empire is just the forerunner of a galactic, technologically superior civilization that is now slowly arriving with all their tech, and thats why it wasn't feasible before.
I'm willing to wait as long as necessary for Biotech. I think the Cult of Jingz deserves a proper ending, and think the archonexus quest would be an interesting way to conclude their story. But most importantly, take care of yourself, Pete!
I think the archonexus waypoint is a good point to bring in biotech and still continue the story. You can use mods to recreate your 5 pawns, use the same world seed and narratively, they are traveling to new unknown lands with new dangers such as mechs. Should be able to advance archonexus via dev commands. Downside being your old colonists will never raid you and those sorts of interactions. Either way, it seems like a logical spot to insert it.
I adore your channel in part because of your editing but you've earned enough good will that I'd happily watch a largely unedited, explorative Let's Play. Seeing you learn in a less organized setting could be fun as well and a way to try out Biotech.
You could start getting the hang of biotech in a side colony where you just 100% do as you please to learn however you want. Not a super in depth and high community interaction playthrough like this has been so far, something that takes up far less of your time but also gives us a taste for the new DLC and let's you get familiar enough for the next playthrough to let you use it to its full extent
As I said before, take your time. And do definitely reduce your planned shedule. Having a too high target that you can not meet really just makes issues worse. 2:05 Kevin is trying to Romance Freya. Wasn't she already in a relationship? 7:10 That Squirrel did more physical damage then the entire Raid! 7:35 "The conduit through wich a Archotech Superintelligence influences the physical world." So, a Rimworld player? Or the Storyteller? 9:40 Normally I would be all for using it to add more fun, but the 3 ritual Scars are already such a pain to manage. Maybe after you turned down the amount of scarification? 16:10 I would not start any quests during Specs Coma. And I would probably expand that lockout time to the entire time the Neuroquake penalty lasts. The danger of breaks is just too high while those both are in effect.
To be honest I think you need to think through your setup before accepting mamhunters. They can still move through river. With base fully closed off (via bridges and walls on them if possible) you could use good old pekaboo tactic insted of taking brunt of the attack in the face. Panthers are fast and ferocius after all. I'd like to sent you my sympathies. I have mental issues myself. Please be aware that your content is helping me relieve stress alot. Hopefully that will bring you some comfort, after all you brighten my day and it is definately a feat for a human being, to positively influence others. Cheers brother, I will be here watching whenever you post anything ;)
I think I would prefer for this series to end and then go into Bio tech whenever it works, because the ideology is all about nature and tribalism, and the expansion is ultra high tech, I don’t know how that transition could be made to feel natural. On top of that I would like to see the new ending added by each of the DLCs That being said, I understand that it would be better for the channel to release content at the same time as it comes out. So I will just say that I’m happy with whatever you decide! Someone had said that a new game where we start with the defendants of the 3 founder of the previous runs, making a city together could be reeeeally cool
I don't think incorporating biotechs into this playthrought would be lore friendly, I mean, it is a group of tribes people, would seems kinda weird. But if there's a good way to add that, I'm good with it. Maybe I just want another Rimworld serie after this one hehe As always, thanks for the video, cheers !
I would like that playthrough to complete before starting a new one. That being said, your current colony is evolving through technology slowly and I could see a magic console command trick to "transfer" your evolving colony into the biotech (that sounds pretty high tech in my mind and would be the logical next big step this colony takes). Kinda merges the 2 ideas of keeping this playthrough going and starting a new one.
Hey man take all the time you need. Every video is a blessing. Btw have you made up your mind on the end game? I had an idea about seeking out the crashed ship, raiding, pillaging and burning on the way. It would be something alot of people haven't seen yet :)
i think the best idea would be if you 'start over' when the dlc hits but you take 1-3 colonists from this series as the starting colonists make some nice backstory of how the colonie was overrun or something like that and then start with everything new maybe even change their believes due to the fact, that whatever happend to them caused them to reconsider their believes
I agree on the consensus on not worrying about timing, and finishing this series as is. Add Biotech when you do a new series. However, as you do seem personally interested in Biotech and may have a desire to not wait that long to play it, if you find a way to make it work, go ahead and add Biotech in. I and am sure most if not all of us will stay along with you for the ride. At the very least, most of us commenters will. (:
I think the Luciferium would be awesome for the cult. Our beloved tree cult using this drug to enhance someone to their peak ability and eventually sacrificing them before they can go down the bad road of not having enough sounds like such a great cult thing to do. Maybe on a melee fighter? An honored defender of the trees in the cold bog.
I wish you all well Pete!! Make sure to put yourself first and foremost. Mental stuff is always exhausting to wade through. As for the Panter quest; i'd say take it as eltex gear is very valuable and Freya would benefit massively from it. (Or any other Psycaster) I'm pretty sure it's been brought up before, but maybe play until you get your first map-part on this colony and after choosing everything to be carried over, implement the patch? Since upgrading between versions was always flunky at best and impossible at worst i'd propose to mercilessly use the commands to spawn in everything chosen on the new map on the new version (under the same seed of course). Maybe the 'mental' change in the tribe through seeing all that tech would also get them interested, maybe even feverent in the whole technology to come and slowly transition from plant supremacy to tech supremacy? Or to keep the plants as a sort of root and try to be the best high tech gardeners there is! :D As far as i know, the vanilla expanded has also a few mods for the belief system and might be a nice addition after the tribe has obtained their first piece to get a bit more diversity into their belief.
Next series It’s possible to do a single-person mechanitor run, where one mad scientist type lives alone in a grand base surrounded by walking, semi-thinking machines. Making this possible was a design goal from day one, because exotic play paths are so fun to explore. However, we expect mechanitors to most often live more normally among other colonists, commanding mechanoids to work and fight alongside human allies. If you really want to scale up, it is possible to collect multiple mechlinks and turn several colonists into mechanitors, though this takes a long time.
For the panther quest: Do it. With the 9 support units and some planning around choke points this should be managable. Regarding the future and the Biotech DLC: Maybe you can work towards the first step of archonexus quest, sell the colony and then re-start the game with the Biotech DLC + all saved pawns through "Prepare Carefully". This way the current series could continue until a proper cutoff point is reached and you can transition nicely to the new DLC while still keeping the key characters.
I have, perhaps, an unpopular opinion, but I am perfectly OK with drawing this colony to a close and starting a new one with Biotech. However, I would probably give Biotech a few months to sort out any bugs or difficulty adjustments (which then gives this colony a few more months as well). You could even develop a story of how this colony transitions into a new one, or something like that. Ultimately, I'm just happy to watch you play Rimworld. If you love this colony, then by all means play on. I'll still be watching.
if your base is secured on all sides id say invite the panthers and just do whatever needs doin inside the walls, and lock the panthers out. Added bonus if you get a big raid, accept the quest, lock the doors then let the panthers do the work and wait it out til they leave or just bait small groups and take pot shots when their roaming around the walls
Personally I'd rather you hold biotech until this serie is finished (however you want it to finish) and then, some time in the future do another serie around the Biotech DLC. seems more logical to me. but will gladly follow whatever video you care to make for us. And please, do take care of yourself. nevermind we have to wait a bit more for the videos, as long as you do what's best for you. Have a nice day and thanks again for your videos!
The first piece of the map sounds like a good point to jump over to a new playthrough and seems like a big enough milestone to end things on, it's not the full on ending of the game but dropping down to 5 people would be sort of a soft reset anyway.
I'd love to see Biotech incorporated into the existing playthrough, and I think it wouldn't be all that difficult or jarring (theme-wise). With the Archonexus quest requiring new colonies it would create perfect points of transition to different stages that explore/focus on a different aspect of the new DLC. I would keep the mechs disabled and skip that part of the new expansion, but with the 2nd colony you could focus on children and growing your colony more naturally :) and then once you move on to the third colony, you could dip your toes into bio engineering. It can even fit really well thematically. The 2nd colony could be a place that the colonists decided is safe enough to raise families. And then for the 3rd colony, maybe the ancient complex nearby, the one that would allow them to transcend, first teaches you the knowledge of bio-engineering as a prerequisite to transcendence.
I read a comment here that suggests you to relocate during the archonexus part and you said it yourself. That would be a good way to incorporate the new DLC and maybe even modernize the Cult? If they see what advantages technology can bring, maybe they'll start their journey so techolizing themselves? Btw. 91 panthers are scary, even though the rewards seem great. You take care.

For the panther quest, I'd say wait until the last minute before the quest expires and then see how many pawns are still on mental breaks; if half of the colony isn't in fighting shape, then you'll need to pass.

You do have enough of a supply that you can be pretty sure of finding more before you run out, though, if it becomes necessary.
Regarding Biotech, it sounds like it provides a neat ramp up through the three colonies of the Archonexus quest.

I definitely agree with this, I think this is the most creative and well rounded solution here
Wow, this episode was nuts! The way Pete handled a casual 3 waves of a total of 300 Raiders was insane! I love the Neuroquake ability, with it's drawbacks as a last resort ability, and the way Freya (definitely my favourite pawn after this episode) blinked in, wreaked havoc upon the raiders and hopped back out (AS A PACIFIST) was super fun to watch.
I adore the narrative way Pete set up the ideology and plays it out, looking forward to every new episode!
2 powerful psycasters wreaking havoc on literal armies was awesome to behold! Spec's gambit (Professor X level psycast) cemented the superiority of the Cult of Jingz across the rim.
It’s really interesting seeing you play a larger colony after the last two ones were smaller. Also I agree with most others in the comments that I like how each of these series cover different expansions, I’m happy to wait for the biotech one.
I also want to wish you best of luck with your mental health journey, these videos have always provided me with a lot of comfort in hard times but they wouldn’t be anything without the man behind them! I’m fine with less videos if it means less stress for you.
I'd like to see this series play out naturally, regardless of whether or not that includes the new expac. Running two series simultaneously is an option if you wish to get into the expac immediately, although it would lead to episodes for each series being more spaced out I assume. Since both are Rimworld content though, that's not a huge downside to your viewers. Honestly, having the contrast of alternating between The Cult of Jingx and a super high tech colony could end up being rather interesting.
I imagine I'll be watching regardless of what you do with the current series, though. Your skill in this game never ceases to amaze me; I learn a lot from watching you play. Congrats on your latest victories!
Thanks for a other great video, Mr. Complete. We will all be standing by for the next episode, work at your own pace and be well.
In this episode alone you dealt with about 300 enemys, absolutely wild, good job :D
You are the best Pete. You bring me the peace of mind with each episode
One idea is to increase the tech level with each new colony. This one is limited to tribal, the next one can be industrial, the last one can be spacer and include biotech. As pointed out by other people you won’t want to add bio tech too early after release as the new DLCs tend to go through a large amount of balance changes
I would love if possible (not to stressfull for you Pete) to have 2 series one with this world as I love it so far, and one for the new update!
We love you, Pete. Good luck with your mental health journey. I sincerely hope that you are able to consistently be in a healthy and safe hedspace. Take your time and know that you have been such a help to many of us. Your videos have helped me calm my thoughts and enjoy something that is pure and sprinkled with bits of your humour and personality. They have really helped especially when I've been grading multiple papers and feeling completely drained and mentally tired/depressed.
:)
The idea of the colonists quickly repotting a tree in the middle of battle made me laugh. Just a little light battle gardening
I believe accepting the Empire quest for two pieces of Eltex gear would be ideal. However, I suggest putting it off as long as possible on the off-chance that another massive raid happens. If it does, you can accept the quest for 9 powerful reinforcements to throw at it and possibly even delay it long enough for the 91 panthers to arrive and kill the raid for you :p
I like the way you're thinking! Unfortunately, when I finished recording, the quest timer was just 1 hour from expiring. So it's now or never.
@@PeteComplete Yeahhhhh, bad habit of typing things for vids before the vid is over because I have *really* bad memory and often forget what I wanted to say XD
Already love that you want to keep on with this game when the new expansion comes out.
I'd prefer if you'd go on with this save for a bit longer, waiting for the first bugs and balances to be solved with the Biotech.
Starting something new then, would also be my preferred way forward.
You will come up with a nice end for the story of this colony, no matter if you reach an endpoint in the game itself.
Thanks for this cool series. Hope your mental health improves. *offers virtual hug*
Doesn't the cult have the ability to hold Gladiator matches with prisoners? Could be a good mood boost and it could be a way for prospective cultists to prove themselves.
Edit: Also, I think you should have built a stone sarcophagus for Dr. Thunder.
Thanks Mr.Thunder, you won't be forgotten!
As for the new exp... I think the easiest would be build the airship with cult of jingz and then keep the "map finale" for a new series.
In terms of getting Biotech into the current playthrough, it would be possible with a bit of behind the scenes tinkering.
When you go for a piece of the map it resets your game aside from a handful of colonists and items which retain their skills, relationships, condition etc. Thus it would be possible for you to start a new save file, and use console commands and some mods such as Prepare Carefully or Character Editor to recreate the Cult of Jingz to more or less the exact point it was when you left off (post-map acquisition). Since you basically start again from nothing anyway, it would not be a hard endeavor.
This would mean that you could fully integrate the systems of biotech (namely by re-including mechanoids) into the new save file without compromising the playthrough.
Whatever you choose to do, I'm sure you will make the right call Pete.
That is the best use of neuroquake I've seen. I found this video very satisfying and gave me +8 mood bonus.
Take your time with your mental health buddy. We'll be here when you get back. Love what you do. Best Wishes.
Definitely needed this to pop up today.
There is always the option of playing two Rim World series in parallel :)
Thank you Pete! Mental health should never be ignored. I hope you feel stronger soon.
Pete your Rimworld series are the best, this narative and your ingame skills make it a must watch, thank you
First time since the start of the series that I didn't watch the episode the day it came out :) Your content always brightens my day
If you decide to go biotech with this series, after the first break would be the obvious place for it. On the other hand, you could save five characters using character editor, then import them into a fresh biotech run. Or break the series and start fresh. Any of these would be OK. For the archonexus colonies 2 and 3 go faster as you start with five good pawns, but at the current pace you'll be at it for another 5-6 months.
I could see this as being a great compromise if you really wanted to introduce Biotech stuff into the Cult. When you go to reform for Colony number 2, introduce the new mechanics. But I would also be absolutely fine with putting off a Biotech run until the Cult series is actually over. Imagine starting a Biotech run with, say, an actual family unit. Mom, Dad, Uncle, Grandma, baby...that sort of thing...and establishing a true dynasty out in the wild.
I finally just got all caught up on this series. I agree with the others in your comments section saying that the cult of Jingz had a good run, and I'd be excited for you to start up a new series featuring the new expansion.
I'm really excited for the new expansion and I would love to see it! I think it signals a good time to start working towards advancing the bog to the end game, and you can start a new series for the DLC when it's finished and all the bugs are more ironed out.
My partner and I love watching the RimWorld series and in genuinely just enjoy when you play the way you like the most. In any case we are both excited to see what you choose for the series, but I hope to see the new DLC sometime soon! Also we are both wishing well and hope your health gets better! We're just here to support and show our love!
I think that finishing up this playthrough is preferred before going through the next DLC. There really is no rush and I appreciate the theme you have going here. Maybe after this playthrough you can do an anti-Jingz run full of tech.
What you could do is make note of all of your peoples stats abilities and gear then have them go on a “pilgrimage” and move settlements. Then you creat a new biotech save, re create your people with a mod, then have them start a new colony on the same seed as your current one but in a different location. As part of this, you have access to all the new biotech stuff, and can reactivate the mechinoids by explaining that one day they all woke up and became a menace again.
Keep the colony as is and finish this as intended. Im sure everyone can wait for your biotech play through. I think this is the sensible thing to do
Luciferium is most useful for selling. 91 panthers is manageable and that eltex gear would be great for a full-on psycaster build.
I say make some backups and experiment to see if Biotech runs smoothly, adding before the cult reaches that kind of technology would make it pretty seamless.
That would be a good approache if if is does work with adding Biotech that way. For the panthers, I'm think he should take it, too.
I love you Pete. Hope you feel better soon, I love your vids and have watched for years. I love hearing your voice as I play too, I dont feel so alone.
Take as much time as you need to heal your mind and spirit, Pete. Love your content as usual.
Haven't watched the video yet, but I've just gotta say Pete, you're Rimworld vids are the only thing that put a big smile on my face when I see them in my feed.
Thankyou Pete, always lovely to see a new episode.
What a crazy way to start a video! You never fail to grab my attention, hope you're doing well Pete!
Thanks for the new video! Your Rimworld series are the best things on RUclips.
as much as it would be awesome if after you took your first map and reset your colony you added biotech, that would be a hard 180 from Tribal playthrough to High Tech Mech's. It would drastically change the feel of the Cult of Jingz.
Ultimately though I have faith you would do it justice. And I really want to see the new expansion in your hands.
Good video as always
Definitely think that a new series/colony for each expansion works best. Biotech absolutely sounds like a high-tech, Adeptus Mechanicus-esque friendly story option, which is basically the opposite of what we have in the Cold Bog series. To be honest, I think you could complete this series without rushing anything before Biotech is fully polished and its derpy sides fixed up after release. Then we'd have a perfect experience.
Amazing fighting this time, the sight of the neuroquake was almost shocking even with Rimworld graphics being what they are. You're a Rimworld fight management pro.
So happy to see a new vid!!!! I would say run this colony till the end then you will have a perfect reason to run a new series for the new DLC
Archonexus is a bit of a time sink, as you'll have to rebuild your base and gather enough wealth another 2 times before completing this run. This will problematic if you want to jump into the next DLC quickly. Also judging by the patch notes it looks like it has some very advanced tech that I'm not sure fits in with the more tribal play through of this series.
As for the Panthers hold fire on that one and accept if you are being raided, otherwise it may get messy.
Thanks for all your amazing content, stay safe and healthy, please don't push your self and remember time is a great healer, what may appear like a mountain in front of you is often a mole hill in your rearview mirror ❤
Take care and stay save. Mental health is important and I can wait for you getting better. Just come back when you are ready, as I am looking forward to hear from you again. I like your content and the quality of it as well as the way you bring the content. Enjoy your recovery as much as you can and don't push yourself too much.
So. My idea for an ending is that the tribe travels to the downed ship to leave. It is still a “new” ending! Traveling across the world is very hard to do and quite the adventure.
I would love to see the other ending. I have not watched it anywhere else. But yeah it feels like it’s time.
I also don’t feel that this colony should be the ones going into biotech.
Also, two Rimworld series in parallel would be sick!
Love the series! Keep it up , take all the time u need :)
As usual you post just as my depression starts getting bad, cheers pete, you‘ve helped more than you‘ll ever know
Look after yourself first Pete. We'll be here when you're ready to come back ^_^
Maybe an idea for Biotech would be to switch it on in the next phase, the industrial one? Lore-wise it could be that the empire is just the forerunner of a galactic, technologically superior civilization that is now slowly arriving with all their tech, and thats why it wasn't feasible before.
The cult of Jingz is a unique series. Must be continued until its natural end.
what did I won and where? Why Pete didn't reply to my comment instead?
I'm willing to wait as long as necessary for Biotech. I think the Cult of Jingz deserves a proper ending, and think the archonexus quest would be an interesting way to conclude their story.
But most importantly, take care of yourself, Pete!
Really enjoyed the video, great play on those battles man ! Not a typical kill box/zone and really fended off alot.
I think the archonexus waypoint is a good point to bring in biotech and still continue the story.
You can use mods to recreate your 5 pawns, use the same world seed and narratively, they are traveling to new unknown lands with new dangers such as mechs. Should be able to advance archonexus via dev commands.
Downside being your old colonists will never raid you and those sorts of interactions. Either way, it seems like a logical spot to insert it.
This is a great idea, if Pete knows how to pull it off!
My support if this is feasible
I adore your channel in part because of your editing but you've earned enough good will that I'd happily watch a largely unedited, explorative Let's Play.
Seeing you learn in a less organized setting could be fun as well and a way to try out Biotech.
You could start getting the hang of biotech in a side colony where you just 100% do as you please to learn however you want. Not a super in depth and high community interaction playthrough like this has been so far, something that takes up far less of your time but also gives us a taste for the new DLC and let's you get familiar enough for the next playthrough to let you use it to its full extent
Definitely chill on biotech. This playthrough has enough going for it and enough going on.
As I said before, take your time. And do definitely reduce your planned shedule. Having a too high target that you can not meet really just makes issues worse.
2:05 Kevin is trying to Romance Freya. Wasn't she already in a relationship?
7:10 That Squirrel did more physical damage then the entire Raid!
7:35 "The conduit through wich a Archotech Superintelligence influences the physical world." So, a Rimworld player? Or the Storyteller?
9:40 Normally I would be all for using it to add more fun, but the 3 ritual Scars are already such a pain to manage. Maybe after you turned down the amount of scarification?
16:10 I would not start any quests during Specs Coma. And I would probably expand that lockout time to the entire time the Neuroquake penalty lasts. The danger of breaks is just too high while those both are in effect.
To be honest I think you need to think through your setup before accepting mamhunters. They can still move through river. With base fully closed off (via bridges and walls on them if possible) you could use good old pekaboo tactic insted of taking brunt of the attack in the face. Panthers are fast and ferocius after all. I'd like to sent you my sympathies. I have mental issues myself. Please be aware that your content is helping me relieve stress alot. Hopefully that will bring you some comfort, after all you brighten my day and it is definately a feat for a human being, to positively influence others. Cheers brother, I will be here watching whenever you post anything ;)
I think I would prefer for this series to end and then go into Bio tech whenever it works, because the ideology is all about nature and tribalism, and the expansion is ultra high tech, I don’t know how that transition could be made to feel natural.
On top of that I would like to see the new ending added by each of the DLCs
That being said, I understand that it would be better for the channel to release content at the same time as it comes out. So I will just say that I’m happy with whatever you decide!
Someone had said that a new game where we start with the defendants of the 3 founder of the previous runs, making a city together could be reeeeally cool
I don't think incorporating biotechs into this playthrought would be lore friendly, I mean, it is a group of tribes people, would seems kinda weird. But if there's a good way to add that, I'm good with it. Maybe I just want another Rimworld serie after this one hehe
As always, thanks for the video, cheers !
I would like that playthrough to complete before starting a new one.
That being said, your current colony is evolving through technology slowly and I could see a magic console command trick to "transfer" your evolving colony into the biotech (that sounds pretty high tech in my mind and would be the logical next big step this colony takes).
Kinda merges the 2 ideas of keeping this playthrough going and starting a new one.
Hey man take all the time you need. Every video is a blessing.
Btw have you made up your mind on the end game? I had an idea about seeking out the crashed ship, raiding, pillaging and burning on the way. It would be something alot of people haven't seen yet :)
I like it, very tribal-like
I think that, since this is and Ideology showcase playthrough, Pete will go for the Archonexus ending.
i think the best idea would be if you 'start over' when the dlc hits but you take 1-3 colonists from this series as the starting colonists
make some nice backstory of how the colonie was overrun or something like that
and then start with everything new
maybe even change their believes due to the fact, that whatever happend to them caused them to reconsider their believes
I agree on the consensus on not worrying about timing, and finishing this series as is. Add Biotech when you do a new series. However, as you do seem personally interested in Biotech and may have a desire to not wait that long to play it, if you find a way to make it work, go ahead and add Biotech in. I and am sure most if not all of us will stay along with you for the ride. At the very least, most of us commenters will. (:
I think the Luciferium would be awesome for the cult. Our beloved tree cult using this drug to enhance someone to their peak ability and eventually sacrificing them before they can go down the bad road of not having enough sounds like such a great cult thing to do. Maybe on a melee fighter? An honored defender of the trees in the cold bog.
I wish you all well Pete!!
Make sure to put yourself first and foremost. Mental stuff is always exhausting to wade through.
As for the Panter quest; i'd say take it as eltex gear is very valuable and Freya would benefit massively from it. (Or any other Psycaster)
I'm pretty sure it's been brought up before, but maybe play until you get your first map-part on this colony and after choosing everything to be carried over, implement the patch?
Since upgrading between versions was always flunky at best and impossible at worst i'd propose to mercilessly use the commands to spawn in everything chosen on the new map on the new version (under the same seed of course).
Maybe the 'mental' change in the tribe through seeing all that tech would also get them interested, maybe even feverent in the whole technology to come and slowly transition from plant supremacy to tech supremacy? Or to keep the plants as a sort of root and try to be the best high tech gardeners there is! :D
As far as i know, the vanilla expanded has also a few mods for the belief system and might be a nice addition after the tribe has obtained their first piece to get a bit more diversity into their belief.
Another Rimworld episode! Let's gooooo!!!
I think you could do something when you move maps, because its pretty much a fresh start other then the units and their gear
Finally seen this in my recommended, i need to go restart at episode 1 it's been a while I need to catch up. Cant wait to get here though,
I love how that slave just continues to build the wall while everyone is fighting ...
Next series
It’s possible to do a single-person mechanitor run, where one mad scientist type lives alone in a grand base surrounded by walking, semi-thinking machines. Making this possible was a design goal from day one, because exotic play paths are so fun to explore. However, we expect mechanitors to most often live more normally among other colonists, commanding mechanoids to work and fight alongside human allies. If you really want to scale up, it is possible to collect multiple mechlinks and turn several colonists into mechanitors, though this takes a long time.
Grizzly bears are always worth their weight in gold in brawls. Just for the love of god keep their handlers alive.
A Rimworld Trilogie Special. a Colony made from the past 3 Seasons plus the new DLC. Cambiar, Steak and Specs that would be so awsome ^^
For the panther quest: Do it. With the 9 support units and some planning around choke points this should be managable.
Regarding the future and the Biotech DLC: Maybe you can work towards the first step of archonexus quest, sell the colony and then re-start the game with the Biotech DLC + all saved pawns through "Prepare Carefully". This way the current series could continue until a proper cutoff point is reached and you can transition nicely to the new DLC while still keeping the key characters.
It's OK not to be OK 👍 Here for ya big man 😊
I have, perhaps, an unpopular opinion, but I am perfectly OK with drawing this colony to a close and starting a new one with Biotech. However, I would probably give Biotech a few months to sort out any bugs or difficulty adjustments (which then gives this colony a few more months as well). You could even develop a story of how this colony transitions into a new one, or something like that.
Ultimately, I'm just happy to watch you play Rimworld. If you love this colony, then by all means play on. I'll still be watching.
Hope you're feeling all right and taking care of yourself, dude.
Luciferium is best kept for "Slayer in the casket" type pawns, which you wake up when you really need to open can of whoopass on somebody IMHO
Two thumbs up! Great video. Thanks!
if your base is secured on all sides id say invite the panthers and just do whatever needs doin inside the walls, and lock the panthers out. Added bonus if you get a big raid, accept the quest, lock the doors then let the panthers do the work and wait it out til they leave or just bait small groups and take pot shots when their roaming around the walls
Yooooooo!!! Specs just decimated them!
Take it easy. And I think it's best to keep this playthrough purely ideology. Don't stress.
Personally I'd rather you hold biotech until this serie is finished (however you want it to finish) and then, some time in the future do another serie around the Biotech DLC. seems more logical to me. but will gladly follow whatever video you care to make for us. And please, do take care of yourself. nevermind we have to wait a bit more for the videos, as long as you do what's best for you.
Have a nice day and thanks again for your videos!
Keep this series as is! Biotech for future series.
The first piece of the map sounds like a good point to jump over to a new playthrough and seems like a big enough milestone to end things on, it's not the full on ending of the game but dropping down to 5 people would be sort of a soft reset anyway.
I am so happy to see this back I love this series!
Just in time. I’ve nearly finished every other playlist.
Happy to see more!!
@2:35: Kevin: insulting spree.
Maniac: *hearing loss*
I'd love to see Biotech incorporated into the existing playthrough, and I think it wouldn't be all that difficult or jarring (theme-wise). With the Archonexus quest requiring new colonies it would create perfect points of transition to different stages that explore/focus on a different aspect of the new DLC.
I would keep the mechs disabled and skip that part of the new expansion, but with the 2nd colony you could focus on children and growing your colony more naturally :) and then once you move on to the third colony, you could dip your toes into bio engineering. It can even fit really well thematically. The 2nd colony could be a place that the colonists decided is safe enough to raise families. And then for the 3rd colony, maybe the ancient complex nearby, the one that would allow them to transcend, first teaches you the knowledge of bio-engineering as a prerequisite to transcendence.
Good job handling the attack
Thank you again ! Fan of the serie here, from Fr ;)
I love your videos!
I read a comment here that suggests you to relocate during the archonexus part and you said it yourself. That would be a good way to incorporate the new DLC and maybe even modernize the Cult? If they see what advantages technology can bring, maybe they'll start their journey so techolizing themselves? Btw. 91 panthers are scary, even though the rewards seem great.
You take care.
I think this series should remain as is and be played out naturally. Start a new one when it finishes.
