19:53 When settling in biomes with temperature extremes, sharing heat between multiple vents doesn't work so well since each vent reduces heat transfer. What I do is create a one-tile-wide hallway that connects to all the room (could even be a service-hallway behind the bedrooms in this case) where you place all your heaters / coolers, and finally a vent between that hallway and each room. That way, the heat / cold only has to travel between one vent from the hallway -> each bedroom, maximizing temperature dispersion.

One of my favorite Game-Overs was when my colony got wiped out by a pack of man hunting turkeys. I was very new at the game and I didn't know entire packs of animals could become hostile. I just finished my first in-game year and had about 8 colonist, which was a big achieve for me back then lol. We were low on food leaving the winter so I had my best marksmen go out for a hunt. They had a few good kills, a turtle here, a rat there, bit nothing good enough to feed 8. I saw a lone mufflio all on its lonesome. I tasked them to attack simultaneously. However, as soon as my boys got to the muff a pack of man hunting turkeys wanted the map on the same side my guys were located. I remember there being at least 10. It caught me off guard and before I knew it: my hunters were slaughtered, my base entrance broken into, and the rest of my colonist quickly overpowered...there, the kingdom of zula fell.😟 Thanks for reading, and awesome video, just wanted to share my memories.

Ultra-pro tip: Wind turbines are like impassable walls you can shoot through ! They are a huge exploit against manhunting events because animals (not insects) will never target them. They are also a good way to ambush snipers at the back of the raid with fast firing weapons once while the front line of the attack is distracted by your turrets.

8 hours in and NOW I'M FINDING OUT THAT I HAD TO PLAN BEFORE I BUILD

I love this! For some reason I'd never considered having outdoor hallways between buildings, but thinking about it that would make it so much easier to make the base look pretty. I have a list of things to consider when making my bases but the order you've done it in here makes so much more sense than how I normally do it. Learning about that trick with the medical beds is really cool too, and also putting small rooms for guests off of the rec room is something I will definitely be doing in the future. I don't know if you've ever considered this, but I normally put my research benches in the medical room. That way colonists who are stuck in the medical beds can get their rec need up by talking to the researcher. I then only need to put sterile tiles in one room. In addition to this, I like having my researcher be my doctor so that when a raid occurs, if I don't draft them, they'll stay at the research bench and avoid getting injured and will also be immediately available if I get an injured colonist. Thank you for sharing this video with us :) p.s. your voice is very soothing

@57thorns

4 жыл бұрын

Another room that benefits from sterile tiles is the kitchen, so you can have the cook and the scientist chat. But using the hospital is a good idea because the hospital is probably not used that much at times. One tip I have is to make sure that your pawns have cleaning on high priority, a filthy base means a lot of problems. (But that is outside of base planning).

Never forget an animal and kibble room, along with a grazing field, those can be very helpful for people who use animals to help with melee defense on raids (Like me). Even a single wolf or dog or big cat or something following each colonist can save them from manhunting squirrels. Use the grazing fields for farm animals like muffalo and chickens, which can help with getting meat (animal products) without hunting for meals. Although in my case, I end up having almost all my animals trained for battle, and just melee the raiders down with my hordes of 20+ animals.

Same. Bought it years ago, only played last week... And I can't stop playing it.

My bases are usually hybrid. I'll always have my first few rooms outside, and the rest will be mined out later in the year. And then I'll have literally just one room to fit everything in. The workshop is also always the dining room, the laboratory, and the kitchen, with one separate rec room. And that's exactly why I'm here.

Loving this style! I always play in mountains with doors 'held open' every two tiles so I can close them in an infestation and create modular isolated segments to clear out. I've been struggling to figure out how to make an 'open air' base that isn't a huge mess, thanks for this guide!

As someone just getting back into Rimworld, this video was super helpful! Really detailed and well edited, made things much easier to follow.

I loooove this! KZread, good job on actually recommending something good for once! I actually planned my next base completely with your advice.

This is so optimized it makes me feel like a complete buffoon and I love it!

JUST started playing RimWorld and this was exactly the video I was looking for! Solid info, excellent design, and even some mod suggestions. Much appreciated! 😁

Great video I enjoyed the pattern of the way you put the base together. I am just getting back into rimworld after setting it down for a couple years and was trying to remind myself how to play and what's important. This video was a perfect quick reminder of every room I will need. In addition it was a great order to do your layout in because you can always see what you have left and certain things have to go in certain places

20:20 thank you for mentioning popular mods and how they would affect your base. Hospitality happens to be one of the few mods I use, so having that little hint is very helpful

I've just started playing Rimworld recently. I have my colony sort of getting into midgame I guess and realizing that I need to redo a huge amount of my base (due to bad defenses) and it's kind of disheartening, lol. This video is super helpful. Next colony I'm gonna try planning more thoroughly right from the start.

I just started playing rimworld after having it on my wishlist for EVER. I’m excited about DF getting a similar treatment, and your thorough more “casual” approach to the game is nice. I have never worried about truly being the most efficient as I think the game just becomes work which is not the reason I play for sure.

This video went way further towards getting me into the game than the min/max approach most Rimworld videos I've seen have taken. I really enjoyed it.

Second round of KZread recommendations coming your way, also this is an amazing video; now I hopefully won't feel so lost trying to design my base.

Great video! I especially liked the casual mention of all the different mods, so many possibilities that I wouldn't have heard of otherwise.

I barely ever comment, but have to say this was a wonderful guide to find. Thank you for this. It's very helpful to give a basic template of things to think about whilst also putting your own unique twist on things and not feeling like you have to mix-max everything hardcore. Really great video! Liked.

That was great! Nicely done, subbed.

I just recently started playing, and the first thing I started doing with my base planning was planning my initial grow areas around the sunlamp radius, and organizing my pawns' bedrooms, including the prison and hospital rooms. So, my early bases always start out with 2-4 circular farm buildings, unroofed until I can afford sunlamps, and some arrangement of 7x7 bedroom units - enough for my pawns, and one for prisoners and one for medical. I'm still really bad at planning my storage zones and kill areas, though.

what a great video with some really good tips! the airlocks on the fridge and the hospital bed arrangements are things i will find extremely useful especially.

Thank you! I learned more in that half hour+ than in the dozens of other Rimworld videos I have seen by others!

Great guide! One of the biggest problems with any design problem is decision paralysis - too many choices! This method of identifying the fixed components and working from there really helps overcome that. It's like filling in the first few entries on a sudoku puzzle.

I find it interesting how my freezer differs from yours. Normally mine are one thick with double cooler if I'm anywhere temperate or warmer (temperate only needs it for heat waves) and a small one block floor corner airlock that usually connects 3 ways between kitchen, dining area and freezer. I also usually have dining room and rec/relax room as one, so people can eat, watch TV and play poker all while talking with each other

Wow, this was super helpful! I'm totally the person you described in the beginning that ends up having to redo things...I'm always trying to make it like a pretty little town...what I need is some of those other mods you use!

Wow this is super helpful! I really like all the mod suggestions! I haven’t tried nodding yet but I’m definitely seeing the benefit of them!

This was all great and I'm going to download the planning mod. One minor detail you missed is the need to have the battery room between your power and the rest of the colony as it minimizes the zztt event

Amazing video, glad to see the algorithm got this one right :)

Just discovered the channel - and it deserves more views and subscribers. Subscribed, keep it up!

They do like eating at a table though, so giving them a dining room is helpful.

(warning: long post about my own base design) As for how I design my bases, I start in Mountainous locations as they are very easily defensible and have tons of resources from the start. Generally I start off with making a house, dining room, recreational room, power generation (wood burning generators are great for reliable power starting off, as long as you're somewhere with lotsa trees) and laboratory. I get some crops going and start trying to tame animals when I have food to spare, and have people start digging out into a mountain for a highly defensible, drop-proof base. I vastly prefer dealing with infestations than having raiders drop in and kill multiple colonists by landing directly on them. Usually once I've dug into my mountain, I'll begin setting it up with a main hub towards the front of the base, that leads off into three main areas. The first main area is Housing, which includes bedrooms, recreation, and the research lab(s). Second is the Industry area, which includes Storage, Manufacturing, and a Rimatomics reactor room and reactor control room. Finally is the Growing area, which includes Hydroponics, a Brewery, Drug Production, Kitchen/Freezer (the kitchen is usually in an airlock) and Dining Room. The Freezer vents into the main hallway of the Growing area or outside if it's close to an outside wall of the mountain. Once the basics have been setup inside the mountain, I demolish the exterior structures and expand my walls to take around half of the map. I leave half of the map not walled in to allow a bit of a buffer zone between my walls and the enemies, so mortars maintain effectiveness (I have a mod that makes mortars not total crap) while not shredding my killhalls to bits. About the killhalls, I usually fill them with sandbags and steel spike traps. which are usually enough to take out most of the enemies leaving heavier enemies like centipedes or power armor pirates without the necessary damage they need to take out my colonists effectively. Add art and other decoration and generally it's finished, until I add an extra colonist. Then the Housing area gets dug out further. Because Rimatomics reactors generate so much energy, I can put turrets inside my base to help out with infestations, and oh my, are some of the rimatomics turrets overpowered against bugs (at least IIRC you can put some of them indoors. I remember shooting bugs with them but that could be from an infestation from a quarry across the map) Really they're OP against everything, but ESPECIALLY bugs.

been playing for some months and learned a lot here... this tutorial was the most useful so far

Thank you so much for pointing me towards the map reroll mod, that will save me a lot of time when planning out a base

They're just paying you back for the destruction they caused!

At first, I was like meh what else is there to learn? I scrolled down and saw the overwhelmingly positive comments and decided to sit through the whole video and I'm so glad I did, even the small things of having your farms super close to your fridge for efficiency, it shocked me that I didn't already do this. So, thank you! Thumbs up from me :)

Thanks for the guide. In the past I just put buildings down all willy nilly and didn't think much. My last run I did the same planning as you and my base was booming! I'll also add, I highly recommend you guys get the blueprints mod with this. Helps you build repetitive rooms a lot faster

You know KZread recommendations are weird when it goes RimWorld on Phoebe Chillax’s style and a soothing female commentator.

For the battery room: fuses and circuit breakers. The lack of this easy safety device is most definitely the reason why all those starships fall onto planets all the time. Not to mention all of those pesky mechanoids...

As an electrician I never could figure out why everything blows up all the time.

Awesome video! I relly liked watching your thought process and it was especially useful to see how you prioritize your buildings. I was surprised that you make your farm first and make your hostpital before your stockpile. I usually make a Bunk house 11x11 which transitions into my dining room once i build bedroom. Thanks for the video!

Whenever I start a new game, such as right now, I always go back to this video to help me plan it out, super helpful!

Who watches this every game on there phone and play on the computer now?

Great guide! Even you added an interesting plan for hospitality, or emergency rooms. A question and suggestion: You know the dubs bad hygiene mod? If the case, how you could put bathrooms? And, I use to merge the throne room and rec room on royalty for a nice bonus on impressiveness for both and have my noble on a spot for easy trading with visitors.

I realize this comment is a year old, but honestly with dubs bad hygiene a public shed placed near the living areas with a stalled off latrine and a well are perfectly adequate. The sludge from the latrine makes for a _very efficient_ chemfuel source once you got biofuel refining. When you've got the resources though and have researched water filtration, you could build shower stalls as well, as being completely clean comes with a mood buff. Prison commons is a very nice mod for a public prison bathroom as well, and for those you literally don't need more than a latrine and a well, or sink if your prison doesn't have convenient underground water zones.

The toggle to see swamps was amazing. I've played closing on 1000 hours and have never used that. Thank you!

I always put my doors to rooms on the side, but now that I see you put them in the middle I won't be able to do anything else! I love it.

You have some very good points and no really bad ones, I'd like to add my own (and maybe you have counter-points): - you should consider merging the dining room with the recreation room. This way you get the "impressive" mood buff for both and only have to make one room impressive. - the hospital is the most likely room to get sterile tiles (in my games at least), so I try to put my research benches into the hosptial. Makes the room bigger as well (thus more impressive, a nice mood-buff for patients that are in pain), and both patients and researchers benefit from some statues in there to raise the beauty during their long stays. Also you have the researches at the front line during incoming attacks, and with the mod that makes them clean a room before starting work in it, they'll keep the hospital clean. I'd probably make it smaller than yours, maybe just one of the hospital pods (can they all view the TV even if they're not facing the right direction?), one high-tech bench and a normal one (so two can research when the topic doesn't require an advanced bench). If you plan for more casualties, add an overflow hospital next doors that you don't have to tile with sterile tiles, at least not right away. You can still tear down the wall once you do have the money to merge the hospitals. - I had very good results with giving my guests one big, extermely impressive guest room. The negativ mood due to being barracks is easily countered by being so impressive, and it doesn't cost as much as trying to make every guest room impressive. (colonists get seperate rooms just because I generally don't have many of them, but you can get up to 16 guests in a group and can potentially have multiple groups visiting; and they get a positive mood if you have more beds than guest, so I just fill the room stock full of beds and statues) - prison: I like to have at least one big, impressive prison cell for pawns I'm trying to recruit because it makes the process faster. - be careful with those wind turbines, pawns can't go around them the way you placed them. Because you have two doors to your garden, pawns can still reach both parts of it, but they need to go through the airlock. Better to make the garden 3 spaces wider so the turbines aren't adjacent to each other or any walls. - I also try to keep anything that can break down (or needs maintenance with the soft breakdowns mod) close to the base so pawns don't have to walk so far, especially if you don't have the mod and need to repair them quickly (keep a pile of components nearby). This also goes for batteries. - speaking of which: it might be a good idea to keep batteries close to the center of your base, especially if your power generation is clustered to one side. I've never had a battery explode on me, unless I left it unroofed by mistake... If something destroys the power conduits between your power generation and the part of your base with freezer/hydroponics, you'll want your power storage to be able to keep those going while you repair the damage. I also build multiple conduit paths throughout the base so even if one gets destroyed there are still two left, but still, the maintenance alone on those batteries is reason enough to put then close to the center of your base. Also increases the chances that you see if the storage gets low ;)

I usually have a "mega base" so I can carry on with ash and poison clouds and stuff. I work around steam geysers and potent planting zones. I have extra bedrooms and extra rooms just so I have space to expand if I need. It starts small and I expand out when I grow. Below is a little mock up on Excel of what it looks like in the end. imgur.com/Me7H8Ji

This is exactly the kind of channel I needed for this game! The first guide I saw was like “Yeah so what I like to do is butcher the pet right off the bat, that way we get some extra food starting out and the owner of the pet will get a catharsis mood buff once it stops mourning.” I was not built for this game 😭

Thank you for the on screen text tips! It helps a lot to keep my focus!

Damn, I could really have used a guide like this for factorio.
