Everything and the kitchen sink at them : Rimworld Anomaly
Holding onto that insect jelly was expensive. I really should have sold it earlier but everything turned out ok in the end. Thrumbo make pretty good assault troops.

Kind of surprised it's over, I have been trekking with this crew of misfits for so long i don't know what I will do without them. But I am glad we managed to keep them alive all the way to the finish line, even if a few times I did feel like throttling them myself. But ship launched, pawns evacuated, first successful escape.
Along the way we have wiped out pirates and sold a lot of chairs. There was also some base building and a bit of defence as well.
Next up is a week or two of tutorials before I start the next Rimworld series, it will be shorter and much more focused.

Viewers technically asked for this, but I don't think this was what they had in mind. If you plan on building a PC maybe watch a few tutorials first by someone who does it for a living. As for me I enjoyed every minute of figuring out how to put this together. Also maybe don't drink Whiskey while building your PC if your new at this. While it added to my experience it did not help in a speedy construction. Also maybe don't use a kitchen knife as a screw driver, go have a look and find that little mini screw driver set we all have somewhere in the house.

Your a lonely planet and your use some weird looking giants to terraform yourself so your not so lonely anymore. Seems like a pretty legit scenario to me.
Reus is a bit weird but figuring out how all the different abilities, plants, animals and biomes fit together makes for a fun brain teaser. Not sure how much replayability it has but I think you could get 15-20 hours out of it maybe more if you really want to try for some super over the top builds.

I really hope this Erlking ship is worth it, judging by the stats it will be. But if we are going to do this right we want to max it out. So I think next episode we are going to be hunting for exceptional mods so we can upgrade it to the max.
Included DLC
Split Vendetta
Cradle of Humanity

The plan is to start with 5 tribal pawns of different gene types, Yttakin, Neanderthal, Pigskin, Impid and Waster.
We then breed each of them with three different gene types to give us 15 unique pawns. Then we select 5 of them to be used for the archonexus questline. The rest we put onto a ship and fire them into space. We will also patch on Xenogenes onto the selected children stacked with a gene implanter.
Once the 5 children are sent to archonexus they to will each have three kids again from different gene lines, each kid will have genes from their parent implanted into them. The five winners will graduate to the next round of the archonexus.
The other 15 pawns will be sent off world via the Stellarch quest.
Round three will follow the same formula. However we will keep spiking the difficulty.
Round one Losing is fun difficulty.
Round two Losing is fun difficulty, 500% threat.
Round three Losing is fun difficulty, 500% threat, no threat limiter.
This is the current plan, the plan might change a bit as we go.

On the up side we managed to break the game enough to be perfectly sustainable. One the down side we are being perused by a genocidal, homicidal, maniac AI. So bit of a mixed bag really.
With Earth on the brink of ecosystemic collapse, DOLOS A.E.C. leads efforts to find a new home for the human race. Whether by chance or fate, its prototype space station, the Tiqqun, finds itself cast adrift, a disintegrating ark upon which the remnants of humanity must find sanctuary – and you, Administrator, are at its helm.
IXION is a city-builder that requires you to be vigilant, to constantly assess and reassess, to learn and adapt. If you and your crew are to endure, you must confront the perils of space, while at the same time uncovering its secrets and extracting its resources. Danger, however, will come from within as well as without; you’ll need to establish, maintain and develop the Tiqqun’s infrastructure while managing the station’s population, deciding how best to answer their pleas so as to maintain their trust in you and the mission.
There are no simple solutions; your actions will have repercussions, now or further down the line. How you deal with those repercussions will be the difference between survival and extinction.

14/35 Achievements by the end of this video.
Get a bit of refinement done but not a lot, I am not liking having to be gentle on power. It goes against my entire play style.
New toilets installed and plumbed it's warm enough now it should not freeze.
Atmo suit docks are installed but not activated yet, I need to build more suits. I got very lucky that there was some wild reed fiber growing around the map or it would have taken forever to make the suits. Lesson learned for next time is get up a farm of reed fiber fast if you want your atmo suits before the 200 cycle mark.

It was not until editing that I noticed how much action had gone on, two pirate bases, two caravan ambushes, one sappers raid and one mechanoid drop pod raid. It was not even that stressful... well ok the mechanoid drop was horrible but it never felt out of control. Our pirate exterminators are suffering attrition as their injuries accumulate. Thankfully the Lucy should pull them out of it, depending on availability we may end up putting more of them on it.

Mounted combat that was actually good, mount and blade is one of those games that stood the test of time. Lets have a quick look back and exploit this game for as much money and power as we can accumulate.
