Do a mega pain playthrough where you start out with a bunch of colonists with only one set of working appendages. One guy has only arms, one guy has only legs, etc etc. United they form one functional colonist.

Better alternative to the weird, boring, breeding colony idea: Maximise genetic chaos, by any means available, start with 3-5 colonists of distinct genotypes, see how scrambled you can make their genes and/or their clones'/offsprings' genes within a set timeframe whether by gene editing, gene siphons, splicing, whatever is available within your preferred mod set. Maybe have a big hazard or crisis set to occur at the end of the time period and see if your genetic circus can survive and overcome it.

You've got an incredibly based shelf.

21:36 bro hit almost all headshots on the guy dying on the floor. He knew what he was doing.

Here’s an idea based on a run I’m currently doing. Select an island and try to get to space from that, starting as either crash landed survivors, a clan, or a tribe. I’ve done tropical but others might work as well. You can recruit whoever you deem fit, but with an island not only is your space limited, as are most of your resources, you can’t actually leave the island for quest locations and the like until you research drop pods. People can still raid you and caravans can still show up, but you can’t send either until you have the right tech.

You have just received a trade request from the Republic of Texas for as many shelves as you can make. We're not picky we just want as many as you can make.

You look both exactly like you sound and not like it at all. International man of mystery, right here. Love the vid, as per usual, and keep up the great work.

11:22 - I like how you've decided to put the grave of the mother inside the school-barracks that her kid will inevitably learn at and live in. Staring at a grave of hid mother who died to birth him, day in and day out, is surely not gonna fuck the kid up, lol.

For some weird (but not that hard) colony ideas: Hospitalers / "Do No Harm" colony. TL;DR before the long post: No violence allowed for pawns. Only autonomous weapons/traps. Be the kindest colony with the greatest medical care for everyone (including prisoners). No slaves. Child eductation, not child labor. Specifics: You'd have to: - Keep all your pawns unarmed (non-violent pawns are preferable). Armour and shield-belts are fine and encouraged; - Have an ideology where Charity is at least at the Important level; - Focus on having the greatest and most advanced hospital possible, and as many medical-trained pawns as possible; - In general, only do surgery if it will be actively helpful, no organ harvesting or human skin industry, and overall be a nice guy colony with genuinely good care for all, including prisoners. - Like in "No Pawn left Behind" you gotta save everyone you can, but you don't have to recruit them - just make sure they're healthy and release them. Buy and free any slave you can. - If you want to raise children, focus on educating them (if you get a choice of medicine skill passion, or a medicine-boosting trait, you gotta choose that) and letting them play, rather than forcing them to work. - If you want to run Vanilla Ideology Expanded mod, then the suggested ideology memes are: Pacifist, Healthcare, and Emancipation; For combat, you CAN use: - traps; - turrets; - Mechanoids (though that would probably turn the playthrough into a somewhat regular mechanitor run, and it might end up boring, so your choice); - Non-violent psycasts are ok (so buffs/debuffs and even stuns are valid, but stuff like berserk or flashstorm aren't). - The only exception is if you get something like a toxifier/defoliator/psychic drop ship that you *have to* attack to activate - you can do that, for sanity's sake; Weapons that are not hand-carried, but are still operated by a pawn (such as mortars, or piles of chemfuel that are manually detonated by a mlotov, or the single-use orbital cannons/lasers) are disallowed, as they require the pawn to do the shooting/burning.

Theres a mod called "spread the word" that allows you to free ideologically converted pawns and convert factions to your ideology. Maybe try a run where you convert as many of the factions to your ideology? Would make it an interesting balance of recruiting who you want but having to let some go so your goal can be achieved.

Here is an idea for a rimworld colony. You crank up that maximum number of colonies as high as you can (possibly using a mod to make it infinite) then use the extra small map size. This way you end up with a cluster of small interdependant colonies and require a large population.

King for a day; each season a new colony leader is selected and gets to live in extreme luxury. For bonus points; the person who is lowest in the leader's social tab has to live in utter squalor, preferably with corpses and rats, for the season. Optionally administer beatings to improve morale.

While we're throwing ideas at the wall to see what sticks, what about a frostpunk dystopia to utopia? The end goal being to create a massive greenhouse/indoor park. Bonus points if its a mainly phytokin colony

Convoy: Using the vehicles and set up camp mods, you play as a nomadic convoy, living off whatever items you can carry in your vehicles. Limit of 3-5 days per camp. You constantly have to balance resources, while constantly expanding your convoy with new vehicles etc

Thats the best shelf making I've seen.

This was such a good video idea, i hope we can suggest another for a next (also that was a great shelf) Basically FO4 Raiders- You cant research, the entire map is permanant toxic fallout, you cannot trade, but you can do quests as well as pick your own xenotype and starter scenario :)

So I just discovered channel and I just wanted to say, I love your voice. It really helps to tell the story

Another Hazzor banger! Also loving the face reveal 👀

I have a bad idea for you. Androids only, vs zombies. "The old masters fell, and now they rise again." Use vanilla expanded androids in a zombie mod. That way your colonists aren't screwed over with a single bite, but getting new colonists and fixing your current ones is more difficult

I loved this. Also, idea: instead of a breeding facility, have a sterile bunch that kidnaps exclusively children from the surrounding neighbors and speeds up their growth before genetically sterilizing and inducting them into the kidnapping horde. The more that can be converted, the better the imaginary score. :) Survival is, of course, optional.

a mildly interesting one: only one of your colonists can fight, you are also not allowed turrets, you can make them a sanguophage or a custom xenotype and you are allowed to hand pick their traits, i do recommend Vanilla psycasts expanded to help increase this characters power further, if this character dies you can replace them TLDR: a supersoldier run, but the supersoldier and only the supersoldier can fight

You actually did it, respect.

This is going to be fun

Thanks! @HazzorPlaysGames Line city, you can only build on 1 axis x or y, you can choose the width but you cant excede that width for the rest of the playthrough pawns are allowed to leave the line city, if you want an extra challenge try to keep farms inside the line as well A goal could be connect one edge of the home tile too the other side (yes this is a bribe)

Every day is a good day when Hazzor records your idea. Glad no pawn left behind (almost) made it!

I didn't know I needed a Hazzor DIY channel but now I do

As an expansion to the log only idea, have you thought about improvised weapons only? (some mods may greatly help this), since in the basegame, there are 4 improvised weapons: Wood, Beer, Elephant Tusk, and Thrumbo Horn.

As a construction worker the shelf was excruciating to watch.

Here's some ideas: "The Carrington Event:" a world locked in a permanent solar flare. A colony of Jedi: melee only, everyone is psychic, and have a code to forswear possessions and to defend the innocent. Also you're permanent enemies of the empire. Jurassic Diner: a Hospitality playthrough where you have to run a successful inn and restaurant on a map overrun with dinosaurs.

Two ideas: Leper Colony: Every pawn must be missing one limb and one eye - if Leprosy isn't something you can actually give them, it's been awhile since I played Rimworld. Every new pawn must also have one eye and a limb removed. "Scavengers" You get nothing, you can create nothing. Everything must be looted from the surrounding area, given to you by Randy, or taken off a dead raider.

this is a really good series goodjob!

Thank you hazzor, I fucking love you and your videos, keep doing what you’re doing geeza

A colony where the only nutrition your colonists can receive is alcohol

what a nice shelf you made there. also nice squig lmao

I have a game going right now where i got up to like 30 megasloths, found out that they are actually great haulers and fighters, you should do a run where you breed an army of animals like bears or sloths or elephants and see if you can use them for all of your combat.

I usually like more of a relaxing experience, and I have gotten into a mood in which I'm sick of all the fighting in video games, so I tend to play RimWorld in a peaceful mode, with raids turned off. However, I still like to have some challenges. I have come close to following that last idea - accept any potential colonist who comes along regardless of how troublesome they may be. It can result in a rapidly growing colony, though without captured raiders, it doesn't grow quite as fast. Food, space, and interpersonal strife can be troublesome at times, and pyromaniacs can be counted on to spice things up, but it helps to have a lot of workers. Another good peaceful mode challenge is difficult environments. Without meat that can be obtained from raiders via cannibalism, the ice sheet is nearly impossible in the early game, and I don't think sea ice is possible at all without a custom scenario in which the colonists start with a lot of extra supplies. I've attempted the ice sheet a few times, with a success rate of about 20%. A little good luck can barely get the colonists through the early game, and once they get hydroponics going, it is easy from that point. I wonder what other sorts of peaceful mode challenges are feasible, especially with mods. Typically, these games get very easy once the colony is firmly established unless there is a major environmental catastrophe, and it simply becomes a sort of creative mode for building. The "accept every potential colonist" rule helps to spice things up in the later game, so I usually at least partially follow this. I think in my next game, I'll follow it to the extreme and see what happens. I suppose my idea would be to find some combination of challenges for the peaceful mode that will make the colonists just as miserable as in a colony that is constantly beset by raiders. Some combination of bad environment, accepting all potential colonists, and crazy genetics or difficult ideologies could do the trick.

Idea: do a naked brutality run where you cannot recruit any other pawn. Essentially one permanent pawn. You can have refugees help you though but they have to leave and you cannot accept any refugee wishing to join you. You can have up to three slaves but must emancipated them at the end of the quandrum.

single pawn naked brutality start. nomadic, no settling allowed at all. the goal is to raid nearby settlements, recruiting anyone you can rescue and looting whatever you can. you are allowed to stay in the settlement after conquering it and make use of existing facilities until made to move (or set yourself an arbitrary limit, whichever you decide is better) the goal is to reach X colonists (50?) or to destroy the biggest baddest settlement on the map i myself have actually done 2 playthroughs like this and its quite fun, the biggest tip i could give is to scavenge as many mortars, turrets and batteries as possible early on, tame some pack animals on the first few maps to bring with you too. the final raid will take some strategy and quite a bit of time to get through but well worth an attempt and not as difficult as one might think!

Great shelf brother!

The random AoE 2 Soundtrack at 2:50 surprised me, but well appreciated to hear.

Yo suggestion one was me! :D actually worked way better than i thought it would, thanks for taking it :))

An Excellent looking Shelf, you are certainly a good crafter

You actually could do the "start with only the sapling child" start! The dryad race creates food while in sunlight, so so long as the dryads don't rescue her, and she continues to sit outside on the ground, she will generate her own food and survive. So long as the temperature does not kill her.

The lemming's sheriff/mayor Play with free will mods where priorities are automatically handled any you can't directly control them except the lone shot caller of the town. Idk what to do with raids but maybe setting them up into auto fight mode.

Didn’t expect you to look like this. Love the hair foe!

Perchance one suggestion for a fine, and perhaps slightly insane, man: Rimworld but multiplayer mod where a bunch of creators each control their one pawn (maybe even design each others for that extra layer of "friendship"). In example: I make your pawn, give it the undergrounder modifier (better to stay indoors n all). Then you make spiffing brit, give him a too smart pawn with the corporate manager trait so he can be the honorable cul- I mean organization leader, etc. Ambiguous amphibian is somewhere to the side managing an underground mushroom farm and definitely not plotting a crazy insect rebellion at all.

Extremely late idea submission; The pawns, 5 tribals, start with an ideoligion that forbids mining, animal killing, and tree cutting, and optionally has raider/supremacist on top and they don't mind wearing tainted gear. These folk only get things by raiding - I have enjoyed playing this run a few times and usually give them terrible craft/construct/art through a xenotype to enforce the 'pay the iron price' mentality. You can put a lot of different spins on this one using different combos of stuff like medieval overhaul, VRE tribals, making them outdoor-sleeping yttakin, going big on gauranlen/psychics, etc. Whatever seems fun.

That's the best How To for making a shelf that I've ever seen before, kudos
