The Calm Before the Storm | Rimworld - Part 39
122Rimworld continues and it's quiet in our little colony... too quiet... which must mean Rimworld is up to something, so this is the calm before the storm. There's a bit of a short-circuit in the power grid but other than that, everything seems pretty calm and that makes me nervous!
It does allow us to complete quite a few jobs, such as expanding the workshop, making the prisoner room not quite so horrendous and also reorganising everyone's work priorities in order to increase our efficiency.
We also get plenty of tea manufactured and are treated to a number of pods crashing nearby that leave us with lots of lovely things...

RimWorld is a sci-fi colony sim driven by an intelligent AI storyteller. Inspired by Dwarf Fortress, Firefly, and Dune.

Manage colonists' moods, needs, wounds, illnesses and addictions.
Build in the forest, desert, jungle, tundra, and more.
Watch colonists develop and break relationships with family members, lovers, and spouses.
Replace wounded limbs and organs with prosthetics, bionics, or biological parts harvested from others.
Fight pirates, tribes, mad animals, giant insects and ancient killing machines.
Craft structures, weapons, and apparel from metal, wood, stone, cloth, and futuristic materials.
Tame and train cute pets, productive farm animals, and deadly attack beasts.
Trade with passing ships and caravans.
Form caravans complete quests, trade, attack other factions, or migrate your whole colony.
Dig through snow, weather storms, and fight fires.
Capture refugees or prisoners and turn them to your side or sell them into slavery.
Discover a new generated world each time you play.
Explore hundreds of wild and interesting mods on the Steam Workshop.
Learn to play easily with the help of an intelligent and unobtrusive AI tutor.
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.
