Day two of the Rimworld Hot Potato (streaming) event

Hot Potato Charity rules: Cassandra, any difficulty. Autosaves every 0.5 days. If every colonist is lost, autosaves or the passed save file may be reloaded. No relocating. Rescue as many people as possible. Goal: Ally with all 8 factions. Build 4 field hospitals. Accumulate 250 glitterworld, 500 industrial, and 1000 herbal meds and 2000 potatoes

This render was made at a playtime of roughly 1d2h, being streamed by Heepoh. One of the field hospitals has been built. 6000 potatoes in stock so there's a start, the meds are all still below 100.

To watch this event click here or go to go to twitch and search for rimworld, the hot potato stream will likely be in the top of the list. Don't forget to make a donation!

Less than 2 weeks everybody. Remember it is allowed to repost in this contest. So if you see a colony and think you can beat it, go for it. Keep it as fair as possible though

TheVillageGuy , 1 month ago

I would recommend at least one firefoam popper for your growing area. Do you have a plan for the circular open space?

TheVillageGuy , 1 month ago (edited 1 month ago)

Very nice colony, thanks for posting. Next time, please follow rule 2, don't crop the image if there's no need.

TheVillageGuy , 1 month ago

Oh, my apologies then. We don't often see colonies with buildings up to the edge. If you make 1 cell dents in the wall you can have animals spawn there and be trapped, making hunting them real easy.

TheVillageGuy OP , 1 month ago (edited 1 month ago)

With 42 votes the winner of the Summer contest is Elysyum
2nd place, with 28 votes Divinity Cirque
With 14 votes the 3rd place goes to Coyote's rest

As it's just ice surrounding it, cropping is allowed, so job well done. Nice colony!

OMG I just noticed you used my hydroponic basins!

Very nice. What mod gets you the gigantic trees?

TheVillageGuy , 2 months ago

Hi, love your colony, but sadly it's not up the quality specifications of RimWorldPorn. Please make a larger render and repost it. You can do this by increasing the quality setting in the progress renderer mod. The file limit on RimWorld.gallery is 30MB, you may even go slightly over that. If you need help, please ask me here or in the discord

From the steam page:

I tested and fixed some compatibility issues with following mods (not 100% guarantee it is bug free):
- Hospitality (allied visitors don't take patients out of their bed) (allowed for contest)
- Multiplayer (fixed a few desyncs)
- Diseases Overhauled (allowed for contest)
- Expanded Prosthetics and Organ Engineering (allowed for contest)
- MedPod (patients prefer medpods over other beds) (allowed for contest)
- Combat Extended: there are some reports of strange effects, for example patients will try to "stabilize" themselves before proceeding to a hospital bed. But there are other random weird things happening that I do not have time for to investigate all. So not compatible at the moment.

TheVillageGuy OP , 2 months ago

I've never played with them but they sound like they'll break the game's balance?

TheVillageGuy OP , 2 months ago (edited 2 months ago)

Here's how it started. It took 2 friendly attacks and a lot of precisely timed attacks on mechanoids when they were seperated from their group. Destroyed the weather changer with a sniper, step by step. It took ten days. We lost all our animals. But we all survived due to the Devilsteel walls

TheVillageGuy OP , 27 days ago

Friendlies help during a mechanoid raid bringing some bows

TheVillageGuy , 2 months ago (edited 2 months ago)

CorianderBubby: "I started an adventure story map with 5 tribals, limited the whole map and factions to tribal-only tech, so I could try a 'medieval' sort of run even though it's not - but it's less-than-industrial at least.

I don't have any DLCs, and really the only game-changing mod I'm using is Combat Extended.

As you can see, I bumped the difficulty up through the absolute roof just for a bit of fun. Had about 40 tribal raiders show up, one group got tangled with the ancient danger marines and bugs, and the rest are currently destroying my base.

My guys are all 5 of the ones in red (3 currently deceased), I am going to try to escape with the last two and resettle a new tile to extend their story!

I didn't get enough time to build something awesome before the contest deadline, so I decided to light it on fire, since I'm only a year in. Since fire is cool."

Congratulations, you are the winner of the Summer contest

TheVillageGuy OP , 3 months ago (edited 3 months ago)

Roughly 3 years ago I made a benchmark save with 10000 colonists. I measured performance and stored the results. I thought about it today and ran some new tests, with my new pc and rimworld 1.4 as new additions. I have also made the save available again. If you like you can run the benchmark yourself and submit the results in the comments.

Important note: run it with core only and try to be accurate with the timing. Make sure you read the RandyMe.txt file.

Results

TheVillageGuy OP , 2 months ago

Thank you, I'll add your results!

TheVillageGuy , 3 months ago

Very nice post! 30MB on the spot, look how crisp the details are compared to reddit, not to mention steam. I've made a comparison based on your colony.
