Are you planning to do recaps or more explanation in your videos? I tried to follow along with one of your streams, but I haven't played Rimworld, and I couldn't really follow what you were doing.

Yes, unfortunately the last two days have been very busy after work. I may end up moving the stream to Saturday so that I can do the editing and recaps on Sundays without much interruption.

Sincerely apologize for the lack of the updates.

I finally got my timelapse renders & video renders exporting directly to my nas. I'll have all the new characters & the first highlights done for Saturday, with a stream on Sunday. I may end up moving the stream to Saturday evening since it's difficult for me to get the content out during the week, which doesn't seem fair!

In the mean time, have an updated timelapse of the base.

New character cards! The upcoming stream will be the last on Sundays, and we'll be switching to Saturday evenings. Likely starting at 6pm and going til 10pm, as long as that is convenient for everyone! I do have the episode from last week partially edited and want to get that up soon.

We need pet great white sharks, losing out on the one last week has made me determined to get one at some point in the future. As always, twitch integration will be kept on, but vomit rain has been disabled for now.

Also, next stream will be 7pm EST on Saturdays. I'm probably going to do a stream Friday night but that will be strictly base planning and priority management & probably be very boring. I'll get the highlight reels up for the last two weeks ASAP as well!

So, I managed to accidentally blow up the cache drive on my server, so I have ZERO remaining of the edited clips. I do still have the source material.

I'm going to update the OP & set up action reports from here forward via a template to make it easier. Videos may or may not come when my motivation isn't totally destroyed from losing hours of editing.

Thanks all! See you at 7pm.

But really though, crafting and intellectual? Probably not bad. I assume I'll be doing research all the time, and making statues or whatever when I'm not doing that. Just please, train up that shooting or I'm liable to shoot my own useless dick off in the next raid.

Crafting/Int was a bad mix last I checked unless you were also a doctor, since I think there was a handful of high-level medicine recipes that needed all three.

The problem is the tasks for Research and Crafting and mutually exclusive: you want your high Int always researching and your high crafting always making stuff. It's Art that does the statues. If I was playing you, I'd have you mining/researching. With mining the higher priority, since you have double flames there. Crypto miner? No, now you're a coal miner.

Crafting + Intellectual is pretty good for the magic-based mods Jazz has installed. Enchanting and alchemy require a healthy amount of both skills.

Runtime GC works as a mod, meaning I can keep the game going at a high frame rate and 4x speed for enjoyable viewing without a single day taking hours. We found out at the end of the stream as I installed the fork of it on a lark. Tomorrow I'll get a schedule up for streaming going forward since the pace can now be a bit better & get all of the people who have asked added as pawns.

Ep. 5 Synopsis:

On last nights Episode:



We fought off a giant force of insects that had managed to invade the right side of the map. During the battle one of big cats was grievously injured, although they would pull through with the combined strength of Oak's tending and heal buffs from B'yleth, Ashnjack & Maple. Although Oak had to consistently tend to the cat for almost 8 hours of in-game time.



Praetor Basilos Chadyles of The Imperium of God asked us to send him some people to help explore a swamp! We happily obliged earning Oak her Yeoman title, while sending: Deadmeat, Bravelittletoaster, Silentsnacks, Tsao, Hoffman & Skullywag. They haven't been seen since.



We then captured Teaspoon who had been trapped in our base for almost two weeks, making the Imperium hostile immediately. :ohdear: Then, the slaughter happened. We murdered all of our animals, donkeys, cows, huskies, puppies, chickens. All of them, in preparation of the upcoming winter. We also slaughtered many of the local animal populations.



We captured Mai, a wondering traveler with the Butasjaor Union. This, of course, upset the Union almost immediately making both the remaining members of the group & the Union at large hostile. We killed off the rest of the group and took Mai as a prisoner, with the intention of recruiting her into the colony later. She's important as she is good at mining, construction, & is magically gifted. I'm thinking she could turn into our necromancer.



In the final hour, the seemingly peaceful episode would come to a crashing halt. Jenson, a wanderer happened across our colony, he decided to join. Allowing him in & not immediately banishing him took a bit of deliberation, but ultimately we allowed him to stay. This, in hindsight was a surprisingly good thing. Shortly after Jenson arrived, or perhaps, because Jenson arrived; a dark green cloud came over the colony. Large globs of vomit fell from the sky as everything was covered in a slimey bile-like residue. As lightning struck, the god's had something much worse in store for us.



Jenson became our go-to man for a bit, cleaning and hauling with a fervor. At some point, while Oak was working diligently on our geothermal power plant, she collapsed due to blood rot. B'yleth quickly ran to the location, expending the remaining bit of her mana to cast a resurrection spell. Although Oak would be returned to life, she would be weakened for some time to come. Oak's death caused Anna, her trusted companion, to become maddened, attacking colonists in a plight of rage and sorrow. Taking out Galga, Jin, Vasily & almost B'yleth before she could reach Oak.



In the ensuing chaos, Mai would be downed. Maple would take the sword to Anna, stopping her from killing B'yleth & returning her to her cosy bed. With B'yleth and Oak now out of commission due to the toll of the resurrection spell, our only mobile colonists would be Jenson, Ashnjack & Maple. Both big cats would also be resting from injuries, leaving us very exposed to potential threats.



A tornado would rip through the woods to the north, clearing out a lot of trees & corpses from the forest floor. While to the south, the entirety of our future wood supply burned to a crisp, leaving the a bulwark of singed mutilated tree husks & no real protection.



Reed our former cook, would finally succumb to her long battle with blood rot, parasitic mechanoids, & plague. Honestly, she probably suffered long enough. Mai & Goat would be moved into the base proper and our former prison barracks turned into a future barn as we hoped the higher class lifestyle of a colonist would encourage Mai & Goat to join us. They were also released from their labor requirements until they join the colony.

Teaspoon, would eventually make a run for it. Jenson would be captured by competing raids in the dark of night. One of mechanoids to the North, one of Imperials to the east, and a group of tribesman from the South. However we would rescue a man named Boyd from a pod crash & captured Aesculus from a passing convoy, although he would immediately catch the plague.

Goat would later attack, kill & devour Boyd. Leaving his headless corpse in the hallway to her bedroom, as a warning to other colonists.

Good stream, After Action Report coming up tomorrow.

Game is going to start progressing pretty aggressively. I'll also be sure to do a bit more explanation in the next stream like I did at the end of the episode as I know a lot of you are not fully aware of why I'm doing certain things.

Next episode (Saturday at 7pm EST) we will be working on getting our cult set up!

Please post your great cult name ideas for our lovely groverhaus colony.
