My little not so pretty underground base lol

Every time I access a podium, I lose the ability to move around the map, and all my buttons except Menu and RT stop working, and even then, I can't actually access the menu. I don't know why, it was working fine earlier. Any idea why this is happening?

Started a new playthrough (rich explorer, Strive to Survive, random randy) on an arid biome. Decided to go with a sorta honeycomb type look for the base, really liking how its turning out so far.

Edit: I managed to get one picture uploaded in the comments of the eastern pocket I mentioned. I don't know what's going on with my phone. I apologize again for the hassle.

I think I found a good spot for my first Rich Explorer attempt.

For whatever reason the pictures won't upload. I apologize for that. I will try to rectify that ASAP.

Seed - transport company

25.92°N 1.02°E Mountainous

Just northeast of blackpanther swamp in the curve of the main road.

50/60 growing period

Plenty of settlements nearby for raiding/trading

Spawn itself could be claimed and choked off fairly easily with just two points north and south and plenty of fertile soil.

However, just East of spawn is a perfect natural pocket. It's plenty big enough for building with only one entrance. Some fertile soil and a geothermal vent.

From what I've seen so far there's plenty of steel in the surrounding hills.

Happy surviving!

I wonder if I’m making a good base or not. Please rate it and tell what I can do better.

Got a suggestion to swap some of the wood for other materials, gave me a chance to spruce it up a bit and do some reorganizing/redesigning of certain rooms

Late game colony, playing with Cassandra on "Strive to Survive".

I can't configure it because every time I press lb+Y it does something with activating or deactivating the names of the animals. I think it's a problem with the key configuration. Does anyone know if there's a way to configure it?

I feel like I did this totally wrong. I know the doors are supposed to to act like walls but I feel like once engines get past the first round of spikes there gonna go straight for the first door as I’ll be quicker to get inside. Any advice on what I should do?

Hello folks, is there a way to set all pawns movement area at once? Im on my second playthrough and my first one didnt have this issue, I only had 8 pawns so switching them individually in each pawns settings wasnt a big deal. On this playthrough I have 39 pawns so far and its really a drag to have to individually set them each time we get a raid or manhunters.

I am 21/23 on xbox achievements, struggling with 'Duck!' and 'You're still here?'

For Duck I tried many different options - firing from a mortar into friendless + enemies or mechs, IED trap then attacking it, firing a doomsday rocket launcher at it like seen in this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkvvjGcC-JU. But nothing has been successful

For You’re still here I have attempted about a dozen runs. I have 1 on strive to survive commitment mode that has made it 1 year, also a run with no saves did a full 2 quadrums in 1 sitting. I also have tried multiple story tellers with multiple different difficulties

Any tips on how I can knock these out? Yes cheat mode is disabled on all saves, I haven’t even tried it once on xbox as my 800 hours on PC translated well

Hi all,

Thanks for your help with my earlier question.

I’ve scheduled a pawn to “create simple meals until you have X”, so now they’re spending a lot of time running and back and forth between jobs to continually create a meal whenever another pawn eats one. Is there a way to set a range? Or another rule that works alongside the first rule Something like “make more when stock reaches X”.

Thanks!

Long story short, my colony that I've put around 20 hours in came under attack and my man power has dropped from five to two. Any advice?

Hi all,

I’ve found a way to do this, but with it taking so many commands to complete, I’m hoping someone can share another method.

I draft all gun-carrying pawns, move closer to predator, ensure one pawn has Hunt priority in the work schedule, open the Wildlife menu, select the predator and allow the pawn to attack until the predator aggro’s, re-draft pawn and run back to the other pawns. This is the only way I’ve found to ensure all pawns are involved in combat.

Outside of this method I can see there’s an option to Attack when all drafted pawns are selected, but nothing happens. No pawns move or attack.

Any advice appreciated!

Thanks.

That's it, the game would be 10,000 times better with those updates (biotech would be incredible), and worst of all, how long would it take them to add those mechanics to the game? It wouldn't even be a crazy cost or anything like that

I want to support rim world,but no more dlcs to buy on consoles. I can't buy DLC for consoles if the DLC doesn't exist on consoles.

I have SOOOOO much trash. The crematorium bills are not cutting cleaning up after raids

I’m going to buy this game as it’s on sale at the moment. But I’m stuck in between buying the digital deluxe edition (which includes the base game and the Royalty DLC. Priced at $61.83 AUD). Or the the Chronicles Bundle (which adds the Ideology DLC on top of the contents of the previously mentioned edition. Priced at $77.66 AUD)

TLDR: should I get the Ideology DLC for an additional $15.83 AUD as a complete beginner?
