social experiment

[kasimirtlw]

Happy new year to everyone

I would like to suggest a small social experiment
and that is to have multiple players play the same save game  and try and survive 3 game years
Afterwards post screenshot of your colony and a overview of your colonists
who would be willing to try this out? I would be playing without mods to keep it as pure as the creator wanted its game to be. And i have never played with a mod

after I have found some players we can discuss  what level  to play in

who wants to join me ??

I'm in! I'm ok with any scenario

Sounds like you're talking about a succession game.  As luck would have it, there's a pick-up succession game going on right now.  See my signature!    (Of course, feel free to start a new one!)

Is this referring to a succession game, or to the idea of multiple people using the same seed/colonists and seeing how the colony evolves differently? Giving a handful of people the same starting save (So they all are in the same spot, same colonists, same AI) would be pretty interesting to see as well!

[PotatoeTater]

I like this idea, kindof focuses on play styles vs starts.

[kasimirtlw]

My original idea is to give everybody the same start and build your colony your way( begin with the same save game)
after 3 years post a screenshot to see the diverse colony's that have spawed.
Perhaps add in some reasons for certain decisions in base building

!!!!!!!!!! Second part of the zip

Oh, pardon, I misunderstood.  That's actually a pretty great idea!  I vote do it!

[The-MathMog]

This sounds very interesting! It could show peoples different approach to a map, and see how well things pan out for them with randomness and other stuff

I might be down for this!

i've added the 2 part zip file (600kb is max size on this forum)
to my first two posts
take them both unzip and put in your save folder
path is drive:\users\{your username}\AppData\LocalLow\ludeon studios\RimWorld\Saves

enjoy

Remember play 3 in game years and post  a screenshot and some feed back on why what you did

[milon]

You said 2-part file, but there's only 1 attachment.  Also, we need the world file (in the World folder) in addition to the map itself.

[rrooster]

Count me in too, been meaning to go back to vanilla.

I was able to unzip the two-part zip containing the save (.rwm), but like milon pointed out the world file (.rww) is still awol.

[MikhailBoho]

I'll totally get in on this! Sounds like fun!

[DFDelta]

That sounds interesting.
Out of curiosity, what are the storyteller settings of the .zip you've uploaded?

[kasimirtlw]

word file is in this  zip
The savegame is spread across my replies
the first is in my fist comment
the second is in my second reply
reason:  each comment is allowed only 600kb attachment so I had to spread it across multiple  replies
