Let's Sperg RimHolocaust

[Dr. Ricearoni]

Hello everybody and welcome to RimHolocaust. Basically, I've downloaded a bunch of race mods in rimworld, as well as Gas Traps and Shells, along with a few other mods I enjoy, and we're going to try to holocaust the fuckin planet. Simple premise, difficult task.


We will of course be starting with crashlanded with Cassandra Classic on. I know a lot of people like Randy but I'd rather not have this run start with a stampede of 40 rhinos fucking my shit in backwards. Also holy shit look at all this fuckin anime garbage the sidebar is filled with. I guess these races come with their own storytellers too.



Planet Sneed generated, now we just need to find a good spot to land...


I prefer mountainous environments, I feel too exposed without a mountain to hide in. Plus we've got lots of neighbors around to keep things interesting.


I don't usually play with Ideoligions on but I've got something special in mind for this playthrough.



After creating a few appropriate roles and relics we get on to making some characters.




Now some eagle-eyed farmers might notice that our squad's skills in construction, cooking and planting are godawful, but I assure you there's a very good reason for this:

Moving on from my obvious blunder, let's actually get into the game.


Our trio of dipshits land in the middle of a rocky clearing, let's get the lay of the land, shall we?

One of them came with a book on anima drugs. I guess books are new, I haven't played the new update yet but I guess we can get research from books now.

Frankly I'm not impressed, for a mountainous tile it's shockingly exposed, and I'm really not great at building defenses in open areas. Oh well!

Plans placed down for growing potatoes and cotton, a pen for the donkey we spawned with, and a simple wooden barracks that'll house us for now.


Some nearby ruins have some free goodies laying around. A battery and a power cell, some furniture, and a heater. We'll be living in comfort from the start, if the trio ever finds time to move it from the bottom of the map to the barracks.




Oh, that's an entire fully built geothermal power generator on the opposite side of the map. It'll be a nightmare to defend but that's a ton of free power if we can hook it up.
The real ruins mod spoils me.


Wow, it's only been a day and our lovequest is already over.


Oh wow, ok, I didn't know the anonymity precept would do THAT when I picked it, I just thought it would be funny because haha digital hygiene.

A few visage masks appears to be helping so I think we've avoided the worst case scenario of everyone murdering each other over getting doxed.

Doctor gets a bit torn up fighting a mad goose, which sucks because once we use up our medicine we're kinda fucked since I can't plant healroot.

After he recovers we get our first raid, not really worth talking about because early game raids are usually just a fat dude or a teenager, naked and rushing you with a knife.

I forgot to clear the ruins as a home area after looting them though so he's lighting random shit I don't care about on fire.

Maybe ignoring the fire isn't the best idea when you live in a big wooden box though...


The damage was minimal but the damn donkey's getting away. We need him to carry our shit back when we're done pillaging the furry alien hordes!

Doctor interrupts Lorenzo dealing with some uppity wildlife to pester us about naming the settlement. We'll name it Sneed Today, in honor of the best domain we've ever had. Also yes Lorenzo has both mechanites, he is in constant pain but god damn is he getting shit done.


With Doctor elected our Dear Feeder and Lorenzo as his Janny, we begin our first MATI stream to increase our development points and hopefully attract some drifters to the farms.

It's a hit and a new colonist comes by to join up! Let's have a look at him and welcome our newest member!


We immediately begin construction of our makeshift oven/gas chamber. Unfortunately we don't actually have the technology to run either just yet.

A filthy xeno lands in our borders soon after. As much as I'd love to let her bleed out and die, we take her in and stabilize her. We are not animals, we have LAWS. Once we're set up better we'll hold a trial, and if we find her guilty of being xeno filth then we will execute her as Null intended.


As a sign that we made the correct choice, Null sends us a message of approval from beyond. Our very own electric hedgehog pokemon. It's a girl, so we name her Rosechu.

Aw sweet, Doctor just hit level 5 construction and has started building coolers and a nutrient paste dispenser. Our food problems will be no more.

Or not...
A drifter offers to join us while the colonists tear each other to shreds, he'll join up as long as we can help him take on his pursuer, but the colony is in no shape to-

Holy SHIT constantine why do you need our help, just turn around and shoot him??? God damn this guy's a killer.

Problem solved.


Once Constantine whips everyone into shape we hold the xeno's trial.


Yummers.

Unfortunately no one shows up to take her place because the next MATI stream is godawful and Doctor should be ashamed of himself.

Everyone's really sad that we aren't raiding and killing enough xenos, and frankly terrible at harvesting plants, so we're sending a small raiding party down to a nearby camp to murder them and steal their food.

We get the drop on them and are significantly better armed, they don't even get a shot off before they're dropped. The xeno of the two tribals survives the encounter and we take him prisoner as part of our spoils. What we do with him remains to be seen.






With that raid, we're now developed enough to amend our Ideoligion. If anyone has any suggestions on how we should change things, or just in general, I'm open to hearing it. Also if you'd like me to name a colonist after you, let me know. I will warn you, the bug man will probably be dying a gruesome death in the near future because I don't like him, even if he's """technically""" a """human""" xenotype.

welcome to RimHolocaust. Basically, I've downloaded a bunch of race mods in rimworld, as well as Gas Traps and Shells, along with a few other mods I enjoy, and we're going to try to holocaust the fuckin planet.

Make sure to stay informed to avoid a repetition of history
For instance, wooden doors might be problematic for sealing a gas-filled room...

 

[Lord of the Large Pants]

I don't think the game's engine will quite make it to 6 million.

 

[Pitbull Victim]

I don't usually play with Ideoligions on but I've got something special in mind for this playthrough

I think I found the perfect colonist to lead the Kiwi Farms Ideology:

 

[Chunky Salsa]

Very cool Kanye, thank you.

I don't think the game's engine will quite make it to 6 million.

For historical accuracy it won't have to.

 

[Maskull]

Post your modlist.

 

[Neodanthril]

Glad to see in not the only one that always makes a mountain base

 

[Dr. Ricearoni]

Those dwarves know what's up, just saying.

 

[Gog & Magog]

I was expecting a very different kind of thread.

 

[Dr. Ricearoni]

Post your modlist.

Spoiler: modlist

I'd like to preemptively defend myself by stating that BB bodytype mod is a prerequisite mod for one of the races and that titties will not stop the genocide.

I ended up picking Rancher as our new Ideoligion pick, which sounded like a fun idea at the time but as you'll see will cause some problems later on because farming edible crops will make everyone very sad and not farming edible crops will make everyone very hungry (At least until our ranch is bigger.)


While the caravan is on its way home we start building a massive expansion to our pen so we can start to subsist off of our animals eventually.


We throw our prisoner in the half-completed gas chamber for now. As long as we don't forget to feed him we should, eventually, be able to gas him.

This transponder has been sitting around beeping near our wiring for a while. We could make a mechanist or whatever if we crack it open, so I'll leave that up to you guys what you want to do with it.



A bigass spider momma moved in so we send the guys down to gun it down. It's already laid some eggs, unfortunately.

Some lightning hits our lab and lights our books on fire! Motherfucker.


We just barely manage to save the books but doctor gets a nasty infection from his burns. In the meantime we sent a couple guys out to raid another camp nearby.


This would be the camp Constantine told us about when we recruited him, so we get ourselves some psylink neuroformers for our trouble.

In hindsight though, maybe I should've had them hunt a bit before we sent them and the rest of our food out. Oh well. As you can see I've set up a mining operation so we can hopefully dig into and entrench ourselves within the mountain.

This infection is getting pretty serious and we've got like, no medicine. We'll need to scrounge some stuff up from the wild and probably amputate.

Dammit Erika!

That's better.

We finish up the research for the gas, unfortunately we can't actually make any because we need psychoid leaves and nobody here can grow them. Guess I'll keep an eye out for pawns with growing stats.

Why don't we fill this empty space by the nutrient paste dispenser up?

This motherfucker cannot install a peg leg to save his life.

I looked away for a minute and somehow a manhunting alpaca got inside, presumably to take revenge for whatever went down at the unicorn ranch.

We give Erika one of our psylink neuroformers and have her develop her first skill. Basegame, they're random and not very in-depth, but I'm running a mod that makes them level up, gaining xp when they recharge, and allowing them to modify stats or work with specific skilltrees and such.

We were gonna save the second one but Doctor goes fucking berserk and decides he's going to destroy it, so we quickly make Lorenzo use it to keep it from being wasted.



We're low on food and I've just realized that I can't actually make any gas yet, so we settle for a public execution instead.

Erika and Lorenzo are getting married now it looks like. We'll have to build these guys proper bedrooms.

We also turn a corner of our barracks into a proper altar of sorts. With all this reduced storage space we begin work on a building made of slate to use for storage.

A rare animal from some mythology mod I installed wanders in. I normally wouldn't pay it any mind but it looks like this one heals wounds if we tame it, and we've got some very good animal handlers and no medicine so why not?

Trader comes by so we offload some textiles and stock up on essentials, including buying some goats for the ranch.

Kitsune tamed successfully.

Some furfag raiders come in on separate parts of the map, totally unarmed. They shouldn't be an issue...

...Except that Doctor was out hunting alone when it happened. Only having one leg, his only option is to stand his ground.

It uh, doesn't go well. Byebye, Doctor.


The surviving raider is tossed in the chamber to atone.

Constantine enters a deep comatose state from having gone too long without go-juice. Turns out whatever he is, he's biologically dependent on the stuff and will eventually die if we don't get him some. Seeing as he's our only other competent soldier now that Doctor is gone, we're a bit fucked.

Until we get Doctor back (if we ever do get Doctor back), Lorenzo is going to be the new Dear Feeder and we'll just have to go without a Janny for now.



Despite a good result we don't attract any new recruits.


We do manage to attract a raider though, so we send Lorenzo out to gun him down.

Shortly after a caravan of giant moose women show up. There is no way we could even dream of taking them down as we are, so we settle for trade.

...human eggs? I buy a few out of morbid curiosity but unfortunately when they hatch they just vanish. Pranked by big tiddy moose women.
That does give me an idea though, if we could build a special gas chamber for visiting caravans...

A straggler from the herd wanders through the area shortly after they leave.

And she's got a good plants stat...

Lorenzo is sent down to capture her. The colony wants alien slaves anyway.

She attempts to tell us the location of the cum chalice in hopes we'll spare her of her fate, but no dice. We'll keep in mind that it's nearby though.

Some random child is trying to get us to save her but frankly we don't have the manpower.

Forgot to feed the prisoner again...

We take on a quest to take care of someone's pet... whatever this is.

Interesting.

The moosesian doesn't put up much of a fight so we get her on growing some psychoid and medicine.


Boomrat got inside the house. Not great.

And a raider makes their way dangerously close to the house and sets our fields on fire before getting wrecked by Lorenzo with a stun baton.

Then a beast we were trying to hunt down attacks. Luckily the slave girl was nearby to act as a meatshield while Lorenzo takes potshots at it.

Another one attacks and puts a hole in our ranch's fence when Lorenzo hops it to put some distance between him and it.

We've got a lead on the cum chalice, we'll keep this in mind for now.

More trade.

The slave girl is allowed to join in on festivities as they craft and release lanterns into the air.

Delightful.

Some wild men wander in. We could tame them if we wanted to but frankly their stats are awful.

Unexpectedly our digging efforts open up a new area with a mortar base already set up. This will surely not blow up in our faces.

15 days to save Constantine's life... If the slave girl can pull it off I might consider rewarding her.

Some meteors crash in by a mountain to the west of our base. We'll dig em up later.

Would you still love me if I was a worm?

We set up the ivermectin zone to keep the worms out of the house.

If we host some bitch for a few days we can get a new human recruit. Baller.

Another giant spider momma.



Lorenzo stuns it with his stun baton while Day peppers it with bullets until it bleeds out. Damn thing can take some serious punishment.


Some more raiders rush in and jump our fence, but they run off after picking a fight with a worm gets one of them eaten.


Yet more raiders show up while we're livestreaming though. We seem to get a lot of these guys lately.




We fight them off but Lorenzo loses a hand in the attack.

Another prisoner to join some random xeno who was just passing through earlier we tossed in the chamber.

So I looked away for a moment and uh

The bug guy went a little bit nutso and it turns out the mortars are loaded.

We'll find somewhere to bury what's left of him nearby.

Shuttle's here for the animal so we send it off.

Whoops, kid died.

Prisoner's aren't getting along either. Probably because I haven't really been feeding them.

Some other kid wants to join now. I can't turn down a child in need, I think.

Oh, he's a xeno. Great. Someone suggest what to do with him because he's giving everyone a -5 to mood.

Random animal crashes nearby from a transport. We patch it up, if only because it will apparently explode violently if we don't.


Still going at it... We should really see if we can get a slave fight ritual set up in our ideoligion.


The slave girl gets the plants harvested just in the nick of time, and we craft some go juice.



He's alive! Huzzah!

No fuckin way, his ideoligion makes him a teetotaler so he gets a fun -35 to mood from using go-juice, despite needing it to survive.

Now that he's up and moving again, we send him off to raid some hunting worksites to improve everyone's mood and gather food.

His shoulder mounted turret allows him to fire back at a melee fighter who's chasing him down without stopping.

With that taken care of he's just gotta gun down the bowman and...

Bam! Successful raid pushes us to the next development level! We'll call it here.

So, to recap, I'm looking for suggestions on the following:
Should we use the transponder to make a colonist a mechanist?
What do we do with the slave girl, now that she's served her purpose? I'm tempted to just keep her permanently enslaved because it makes everyone happy.
The child we picked up, he's a xeno but he's just a kid. Do we gas him? Wait for him to grow up, then enslave him? What do?

 

[Arcade Gannon]

Furries only take prisoners for one reason. Doctor's gonna get raped.

What do we do with the slave girl, now that she's served her purpose? I'm tempted to just keep her permanently enslaved because it makes everyone happy.

I bet they're happy, her tits are at eye level. Make the (crash)site safe for work and gas her.
