Rimworld Episode 38: The New DLC Comes Out In Like 5 Hours And My Mods Won't Be Compatible Anymore

[rusty_shackleford]

We can rebuild her. We have the technology.

I want to use my Turtle Coins^TM on giving Techno the best prosthetics available. I don't know what is available, so figure it out. I want her to be an indestructible war turtle.

I'd suggest also looking into adding laser weapons to her shell.

Make boot a melee specialist commando

Episode 10: The Shadow Over Bonkaarelior

A new friend joins the cause.



A trio of Git-- Archons warp in under cover of the ongoing psychic storm. They each have crazy powerful swords they're psychically linked to, and special armor that projects a forcefield around them.







Which would be intimidating if we didn't have walls, railguns, and charge miniguns.





Welcome to prison!



A dwarven clan offers a reward if we simply accept a bunch of their trash. Stack accepts for the psychic neuroformer.



Yeah that's a lot more than I was expecting. It's all going to dissolve and pollute our turf if we don't find a way to deal with it quickly.



Vitya gestates a little cleaning robot.



Which is good because this place is a ******* dump. One might not even be enough.



Just a little non-invasive surgery for our new guests.



Boot makes himself useful by researching. He's also grabbed a bronze spatha since he insists on fighting up close.



Thanks to his efforts we get a solar panel set up outside. It's a little more consistent that wind power, barring any eclipses or smog.



Hauling all of the wastepacks into the freezer to keep them from dissolving. Not enough room for them all though.



A kidney here, a lung there. What do they need two for?



We accept a request to cure someone of notRabies in order to get some information on the whereabouts of the coveted HQ Platinum.



He arrives and immediately goes after a visiting caravan.



They slice his penis off and he wanders away to wail on a rat.



Boon finally arrives to subdue him and accidentally caves his skull in with the butt of his railgun. Whoops.



Setting up extra freezers to store the waste.



Dorf makes Boot a custom fitted suit of plate armor.



One of the prisoners goes berserk for some reason and is a pain in the *** to put down. They really are amazing melee fighters. We have to call in more and more people since he's dodging and parrying nearly every punch.









Setting up a recycling station near the mechroom.



A friendly group of mercenaries tries to get us to pay a protection fee. Maybe we should have paid it, because we get attacked by bandits soon after refusing.





Is that a-



Looks like they have handheld mortar launchers.




Vitya shoots one, causing her to stumble and fire her doomsday rocket launcher. The shrapnel goes flying in every direction and shreds the rest of her group. It's the best thing I've ever seen. He'd get a turtle coin if he wasn't capped.



Quite a few of them came with heavy weapons and exoskeletons, which we'll be snagging.



One of the raiders happened to be Teen Pregnant. We're nice enough to give her a bed.



All of her friends get chucked in the river though.



Another rumbling a new room we're setting up.



I really ******* hate bugs.



Set up a formation to lure them into a crossfire, but the charge minigun puts in work and none of them make it that far. It does run out of ammo though.







It turns out the bots can finish off wounded bugs for us.



Stack converts for a chance at creepy alien pussy. Traitor.



Turns out you can't live without your liver.





But then he warps away moments after death. Archons are weird.



Arctic wolf puppies



We decide to take that free shuttle ride to try to find the location of the HQ Platinum.



And land next to this big old structure.



We split into two teams.



The north one opens the door and gets attacked by weird giant insects, but they weren't terrible hard to take down.



The place is littered with skeletons, a few crates, and 6 terminals we need to hack to find the data.



Zoth sets off some sort of trap.



It blows up and causes a fire.



We manage to hack the last few terminals and get out of there before spreads too far and cooks us. Rusty gets a Turtle Coin for staying behind to finish the last one.



Back home it turns out that the Teen Pregnant girl we brought in is due this week. Someone has to decide their fate.



Our little recycling operation is now in full swing. There are different ways to break down the wastepacks, but for now we're turning them reactive chempacks. Reactive chempacks are highly volatile but can be broken down once more into useful chemfuel with some much less dangerous trash as a byproduct. We don't have a way to deal with that trash yet. Maybe with some extra research.



People always want **** from us. We'll send a few guys to check it out.



Oh. ****.





Cultists are completely swarming this little fishing village.



These guys are hopelessly outnumbered and are getting dragged down and hacked up within seconds.



We only sent 6 guys!



Nothing we can do except pull our triggers and pray. Captain swapped his charge minigun for an HMG dropped by a bandit, and Kalarion grabbed one of their modified Saiga-12s.



There's just so ******* many of them. Oscar and Elias went down, all slashed up from ritual blades and flesh tentacle slashes. BD ran out of ammo for his P90 and had to grab Elias' fallen rifle and keep shooting. A lot of these guys have the Death Refusal ability and need to be put down twice, or left on the ground incapacitated. Captain gets a Turtle Coin for mowing down cultists like Rambo with his machine gun.



Hoss and Kalarion move into the village to look for survivors while the others take care of injuries.



Two villagers bleed out as soon as we get there, a couple were able to crawl indoors and we're able to save their lives.



BD happens to find a bionic eye which he pockets for later.



Back home, Boon is securing us a few spare hearts. Oscar does have that defective one after all. He gets a Turtle Coin for his specialized work.



Dorf manages to make two masterworks in a row - the first of our newly researched armor vests, and an airwave headset for Vitya.



It gives him +3 bandwidth on top of his default 6, allowing him to control 3 extra bots.



An extra cave has been dug out for the wolves. We'll try throwing corpses in there instead of the river from now on. A cooler between them will keep the wolf cave nice and cold while venting hot air into the chicken coop to keep it warm during winter.



Dealing with the waste means we're stretching our crafters pretty thin. Nobody's around to produce the new firearms we've researched. Chuck gets a TC for saving the planet.



The team returns home, hauling back a ton of loot and only leaving behind a few toes.






----------------------------------------------------------







@Vitya, @Raviola, and @Elias can choose an expertise.







And oh yeah, Kalarion spent coins to remove his Savant trait.

[Jordy]

The River of Souls needs to be fed corpses or bad things will happen.

[Stack of Turtles]

I think I'm gonna have to order you to cram the hallways with animal sleeping spots or something so the bugs stop breaking in.

[Boontaker]

"Accidentally"

[Oyster Sauce]

I think I'm gonna have to order you to cram the hallways with animal sleeping spots or something so the bugs stop breaking in.

Does that actually stop them or is the plan to counter-swarm them with Turtles?

[Stack of Turtles]

They need a certain amount of free space to break through. I don't remember exactly.

[Faceless_Sentinel]

@Oyster Sauce, what is the difference between Sharpshooting and Aiming? If I translate sharpshooting to my language it means precision shooting, but how can you shoot precisely without aiming? Is this bionic eye compatible with my implant ?

[Oyster Sauce]

@Oyster Sauce, what is the difference between Sharpshooting and Aiming? If I translate sharpshooting to my language it means precision shooting, but how can you shoot precisely without aiming? Is this bionic eye compatible with my implant ?

Aiming refers to the time it takes to line up a shot, sharpshooting is making sure the shot you lined up is actually going to hit something. You can replace your eye, yeah.

Than I choose sharpshooting. What I need to replace an eye?

[Tweed]

Sharpshooting

EDIT: Actually wait, should I hold off since I seem to also be an up and coming chef? Do we need more chefs (or meth cooks) or do we need people who can kill really gud?

Sharpshooting

You haven't cooked anything this whole time. It's Hoss, BD, and sometimes Raviola when those two are adventuring.

Episode 11: Rusty Got Run Over By A Reindeer

Early in the morning Rusty is out hunting and incites the wrath of a caribou herd.



One rushes him from behind and knocks him to the ground. They're trampling and goring him pretty good.



But he gets up and keeps swinging his knife!



And then gets his *** beat down again. They spare his life, but not his dignity. One caribou even stays behind to eat his lunch.



One of our guests overdoses on the same drug that killed P'nut. Elias chucks her in the wolf den.



BD found the bionic eye, so he gets dibs. Sorry, Vitya.



We snagged a pair of mini-turrets from the village and set them up at opposite corners of our wall.



Another opportunity to learn the location of HQ Platinum. No idea how many of these quests we need to do to find it.



Dr. Pavel, I'm CIA.



It takes so long to hack that Kalarion gets bored and digs some trenches in case of an attack.



Which turned out to be a bit of waste because they came from the other direction, but a lake is kind of like a big wet trench.





Later that day the second shift fends off another attack.





These impids can breath fire, it turns out. They're still not very intimidating otherwise.



We get the data and the pod self-destructs.



We've started phasing out our bolt-action Lee Enfields with semi-automatic M1 Garands.



We send a team to check out an abandoned biotech lab.



Boon stays behind to deliver a baby girl. We'll figure out what to do with this lot later.





Enemies deploy scattered all over our territory and start moving in.



One lands in our courtyard and blasts Dorf with an explosive round.



Boot closes the gap and slices his arm off.



The turrets have decent range, but ****-poor accuracy. They do a solid job of suppressing and slowing down the advance though.



Boon finally wakes up and takes care of Dorf.



A sick shot from Elias scoops out the majority of this dumb *****'s brain. The rest are driven away despite our shorthanded forces.



Some weird trees with eyeballs have popped up on the edge of the map. Not really sure what's going on with that.



So many baby chicks. We grow dandelions for the to eat during the warmer seasons, and give them hay and kibble through the winter.



The away team has arrived at the abandoned biotech lab.



As soon as they get close, an ambush is sprung so everybody quickly digs in and lets loose. Stack finally gets to try out a flamethrower we grabbed from a fallen bandit.



They burn really well.



Starting to explore the buildings.



Finding a lot of weird technology that I don't really understand. It would require extra research for us to make use of.



Except for this injector Stack found that promises a "random xenotype".



He has Captain stick it in his spine and turns into some sort of hideous beast.



That fire is raging out of control. Probably shouldn't use flamethrowers near our base.



We grab everything we can and depart. Turns out these genepacks need to be kept in a genebank or else they'll deteriorate over time. Luckily we come across another caravan while traveling back home and cash them in for dozens of components.



We need more wolves to take care of all of these bodies.



Crafters hard at work producing armor.



Boon rescued a medicinemaker dryad that came floating down the river wounded. They're typically bonded to a special type of tree, but I guess this guy will just walk around our base and poop out medicine every few days. Nice!



Brand new rec room with billiards, poker, and a dance floor.



We've researched sterile tiles, which reduce the chance of food contamination in our kitchen, boosts medical treatment in the hospital, and raises research speed in our laboratory.



Stack wakes up from a 3 day coma with draconic powers and his hair regrown.



Vitya build a militor, which will patrol the base with its cute little mini-shotgun.





More quests to get done. Dealing with the hive is a priority, but wiping out savages is always a good time.



Kicking the turtles out of the base so they can hopefully graze on something and stop eating our meals. We have so many turtles.



Breaking the prisoner's will to enslave her.



High quality weapons sometimes have artwork engraved in them.



Slave get. Two for the price of one, really.



And the next tier of weapons has been unlocked before we've even replaced half of the bolt-actions. Anybody have a raifu they want to claim?

[Vergil]

Oh the FAMAS is in this?

[Faceless_Sentinel]

I would like to Vitya get PKM.

[Stack of Turtles]

give me a FAMAS and name it Vergil


... you should make it a persona weapon

[Jordy]

Whatever you think would be good for Duke.

[Tweed]

What?! Stack gets to be a dragon, but I don't get my koboldic rizz? This is super gay.

Also I'd like a Hecate II.

[Rand]

I just noticed the new series. How'd I miss this?

Anyway, is the map larger than normal? It seems larger than the default.

I didn't really ask for it exactly and I think it cost me a point.

[Zothique]

I haven't even been paying attention to this. Has my character gotten on Ozempic yet?

[Val the Moofia Boss]

What happened to the other refugee who was found by the river and her arm was amputated?

[Oyster Sauce]

What happened to the other refugee who was found by the river and her arm was amputated?

Returned to her faction after recovering. Sometimes we're just nice guys.

[LemonDemonGirl]

Can Captain get a turtle?

275x275 which makes it "medium". The medieval one was bigger I think.

I switched to a different camera mod that lets me zoom out further than ever before
