The Big Switch On | Rimworld - Part 77
85Rimworld continues and it's a huge moment as we finally, after much faffing about, switch on the ship reactor! Aaargh! It's finally on!
However, Rimworld does it's best to ruin our plans of a late winter switch on by throwing all sorts of distractions at us. There's a siege, which puts our killbox to it's sternest test yet, and whilst we're out collecting resources from the siege we are subject to a multi-pronged mechanoid attack!
There's also some work to do to prepare for our big reactor switch on, so we seal up our doors, remove the deep drills from outside and remove some of the hydroponics bays.
But with the reactor powering up, the countdown is now on. Can we survive the waves of enemies? Time will tell!

RimWorld is a story generator. It’s designed to co-author tragic, twisted, and triumphant stories about imprisoned pirates, desperate colonists, starvation and survival. It works by controlling the “random” events that the world throws at you. Every thunderstorm, pirate raid, and traveling salesman is a card dealt into your story by the AI Storyteller. There are several storytellers to choose from. Randy Random does crazy stuff, Cassandra Classic goes for rising tension, and Phoebe Chillax likes to relax.
Your colonists are not professional settlers – they’re crash-landed survivors from a passenger liner destroyed in orbit. You can end up with a nobleman, an accountant, and a housewife. You’ll acquire more colonists by capturing them in combat and turning them to your side, buying them from slave traders, or taking in refugees. So your colony will always be a motley crew.
Each person’s background is tracked and affects how they play. A nobleman will be great at social skills (recruiting prisoners, negotiating trade prices), but refuse to do physical work. A farm oaf knows how to grow food by long experience, but cannot do research. A nerdy scientist is great at research, but cannot do social tasks at all. A genetically engineered assassin can do nothing but kill – but he does that very well.
Colonists develop - and destroy - relationships. Each has an opinion of the others, which determines whether they'll become lovers, marry, cheat, or fight. Perhaps your two best colonists are happily married - until one of them falls for the dashing surgeon who saved her from a gunshot wound.
