TierZoo

Hi everyone, welcome to TierZoo, the web show which seeks to analyze the meta to determine the best current builds. I talk about the special abilities and build strats of various prominent animal classes and show people things they may have overlooked when specing their character.


Okay but actually my goal is to get gamers interested in zoology, since there's a ton of amazing aspects of life on Earth that go underappreciated. Evolution has produced some bizarre traits, strategies, and life cycles that I feel need to be given the spotlight once in a while. I don't shy away from keeping the brutal with the beautiful, so if you're new to my content, be warned. Expect two videos per month. The good thing about my topic is that there's potentially limitless content and I'm more than willing to provide it. Hit me up with all of your suggestions! I've gotten some amazing ones so far.

    If rimworld has taught me one thing, it’s that all of these revolve around the classic “It depends” situation. Any build or strategy can be viable depending on what situation you find yourself in. You can always change your play style to however you see fit and use strategies that revolve around it. With what you said in the hunter-gatherer play style, cats don’t relatively have a role in that category. But as players try and built their play styles around agriculture, the feline build/cats have found their role within the meta. Edit: Also they’re very cute

  • @TierZoo

    Good question! Basically, I'm saying they are able to extract more calories from carcasses than other predators. The tongue papillae effortlessly strip flesh from bone, meaning that more of the meat on a bone is accessible to them than would be to, say, a coyote. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

    Dude, chickens are S-tier. THE dominant bird build in the current meta. They specced heavily into two key traits: *Docile and Yum!* Key secondary traits include: ~ Extreme gustatory efficiency while filling up their Yum! meter. (The dominant builds in the 'Broiler' category handily surpass 50% efficiency, which is just bananas! Well, grain. You get the idea.) ~ Continuous XP production for partnered human players in exchange for shelter, food, and protection. ~ Alarm ability, helping allied human players come online at the optimal time and alerting them of threats. (Note: largely obsolete since the development of the high-tier equipment: actual alarm clock) I know you've discounted utility as livestock in previous tier lists such as bovines. Ironically, this served to _overestimate_ bovine utility in the meta in my opinion, while underestimating much more efficient food animals like chickens, but I suggest a reexamination of this analysis. In the current meta, humans are _so_ dominant that being able to efficiently serve them, even if only as food, is very much a viable, even dominant strategy! I kind of see human players less as just a normal part of the player-base, and more like the _modding_ community of the Outside game, with abilities to explore the actual code-base and unlock exploits or even initiate their own unofficial balance patches, as if they were themselves devs. With the trend of hiring top modders to become devs in the gaming industry, I wouldn't be surprised to see humans self-upgrade into full-blown devs within the next half-dozen or so minor update patches. Remember, the main quest is to reproduce, and while an _individual_ chicken may not have a very high probability of completing that quest in the current meta, the overall result _as a class_ is immense. As human data-miners continue to dig into effects such as cattle's powerful Greenhouse Gas AoE debuff, and abysmal Yum! efficiency, along with undesirable byproducts like Antibiotic Runoff and Growth Hormone Induced Autoimmunity, I suspect chickens will become even more dominant in the meta! That is, unless human beta-testers succeed in refining the Lab Grown Meat skill tree to an economically feasible level, in which case I suspect all livestock classes including chickens will rapidly decline in importance and dominance... though perhaps more slowly than other livestock classes since it will take quite some time, if it's even possible at all, for human tech to outclass the insane Feed Conversion Rate of a top Broiler breed like the Cornish Cross or Red Broiler of as low as 1.65 (1.65 lbs of feed per lb of edible muscle produced, which is actually _better_ than 50% holy crap!)

    9:35 "cats don't usually share their kills" Lol. I've played alongside cat teammates all my life and the ones who aren't lazy and actually go hunting were ALWAYS bringing back mouse/shrew/bird/chipmunk bodies and trying to give them to me. One even brought a bird into my bedroom and dropped it in my mouth while I was sleeping. I could never bring myself to scold them for it either, since I know they were trying to do something nice for their teammate lol.

    My late cat was absurdly good at hunting birds, but once she noticed my mom would get sad, she simply switched to scaring them away. The problem is, she ended up thinking we didn't wanted her to catch other pests. Last time I had to kill a cockroach and she was near me, she just looked at me confused, like "wait, can I hunt this one?" while I tried to get a broom while keeping an eye on the damn thing. I miss her so much.

    A bit late perhaps but what about the very niche Shoebill build? Its a pelican sidegrade that trades out the grappling ability for incredible peck damage to the point of being able to kill a turtle or any tank build easily with insane blunt damage, and have the lax and slow playstyle of the flamingo. Basically a flamingo that can and will wreck your shit if you deign to get close. Any melee predators has a very high likelihood of losing to them unless they get an ambush

    Slight nitpick - humans eventually bred a dog in the “terrier” class that is well suited to catching and killing rats. But cats readily domesticated themselves thousands of year prior to that and made themselves useful before the terrier expansion pack ever debuted.
