Whenever I see something new in Rimworld I always push the info button and read the flavor text because my brain worms give the good chemicals when I do. I pity people who don't have such worm colonies. It must be caused by a childhood filled with social activity and playing outside.

WTF kind of raid is this? I have a bunch of mods but nothing that changes raids, and I've ever seen everyone using the same gun before.

I'm afraid so.
Sniper-only raids are actually just a rare vanilla raid flavor! They’re not usually that dangerous since sniper rifles have bad DPS and the AI is usually not very good at positioning to take advantage of their range to make up for it.

I hate sniper rifles though. The DPS might be bad but every landed shot will cripple a pawn and take them out of the fight.

Yeah when it’s two or three you can ambush them around a corner but with that many things are going to get rough.

Smoke can help too, any bullet that passes through smoke gets the penalty so having your melee people fighting in smoke can substantially help them not get shot

Turns out the solution to a sniper rifle raid is to save scum a few times, and then Randy will spawn a timber wolf manhunter pack.

Like so many things, sniper raids can be defeated by the furtive mortar. With just 4 simple household goods: a pawn, a wall, a mortar, and an infinite supply of mortar shells, you too can eviscerate your enemies from a cozy spot in the center of your base

Mzbundifund

Just making enemies walk around a corner to see you is often all it takes to wreck a sniper raid. All your guns will fire first since snipers have such long windups, and you can kill enemies faster than they can arrive if you’ve got high-DPS stuff like chain shotguns. Even if they do get a few shots off sniper rifles have terrible accuracy at close range.

Are there any cool Youtube videos for this game? I want to see what a more advanced base looks like but it seems like everyone who has recorded themselves playing this game is completely insufferable.

Yeah the challenge of finding Rimworld videos is the people doing them are either really unfunny or doing a 500% run (in which case they are also usually really unfunny)

You can tell, like, the exact point in his videos where he stopped drinking (or at least cut way tf back) and I hope that's still going well for him. dude makes interestingly circumspect videos

Rhadamant makes some good rimworld videos of mostly lightly modded (some more, some less) but thematically defined playthroughs and is a pretty chill person to listen to.
