I harvest the eyes of Raiders that wont convert / are abraisive and release them.
By now the planet i colonized must have almost hundred blind stumbling around.
Thought its a fitting punishment for laying eyes on what's not yours.
And one time i slowly cooked a group of visitors in a room with a geyser.
So what is your dark little secret? :)
Wow. Here I thought I was cruel for euthanizing my colony's favorite doctor (and harvesting her organs) after she became brain damaged and wandered around aimlessly with little ability to do anything. Your examples make me look like a merciful saint by comparison. :P
Edit: Probably the only thing I can think of that was purposely mean was to aggravate an ancient ship AI right when a large party of neighboring allies was 'passing by' and then having that colonist run away and hide so that the neighbor's group had to do the fighting of the mechanoid. I considered that valid tactics! :P
I cut off both arms from a prisoner who was really good at melee. Then set him free, obviously.
I foresee a good many quotes in this thread that will fit my signature.
I like to freeze visitors to death on cold maps. Especially Ice-sheets, Half the time one or two of them drop from hypothermia then they try to flee.... Then the rest drop. There last mistake was coming to my colony. But that was the last mistake they ever made.
When a melee fighter of mine managed to cleave an entire raiding party entering our base's door (dismembering many), I began a week-long scenario of constantly switching limbs from prisoner to prisoner. If after a few days, for example, someone still reverted back to below the required loyalty, I removed their legs and handed them off to whoever else actually needed them. Eventually we got two people out of the whole ordeal before a lapse in colony food stores demanded we stop for the sake of mental breaks, so I sealed off the prison room with the exhaust side of a cooler facing inward.
Back in alpha 6 or 7, when there was no 'cure' for a colonist whose leg had been lost, I would select a bedroom and turn the bed into a medical bed, and send them there. Then I'd switch the bed back to colonist use, which would eject the one-legged colonist onto the floor. To die. Alone. Helpless. Where nobody had to see or hear it go down.
And I had to do it often. I'm sure there's a special place in hell for me. :P
Y'all are some evil overlords! ::)
I thought bringing up the topic of keeping colonists locked away as 'slaves' was morally questionable but I definitely feel better about that plan after reading all these confessions haha.
Using the mod that lets you install 'hive minds', which gives the colonist the average skills of all the people with it installed, I had a prison full of people with no arms, legs, eyes, or internal organs (on life support) with the hive mind installed, and then used the remaining prisoners as expendable drones - if they died it didn't matter, the ones on life support kept the average up.
That or my live in psychotic cannibal. I sealed him in a room only accessible via a conveyor. My colonists would load the bodies onto the conveyor, he would strip and butcher the bodies, make a couple of meals for himself and then send everything back out. He lived in that 4x4 room for about 3 years without seeing the sun.
My colony was starving in the middle of winter, so I dug up some frozen raider corpses and butchered them.

I can't tell you how delightful it is to hear that :)
Well it twas, winter, A long long winter. We we're just recovering from a raid, we ate the dead, and the survivors... we we're still hungry, A slave trader, came by, we found a female slave that fit our needs, cheap and useless, we had her do the chores she could be for she dropped, we... we ate her.
But that's just zeh beginning, our cook, he was a nice man, but not useful for much, we did what we had to do. he was eaten the way he would have wanted to be eaten, raw, he was a cannibal, why couldn't we eat raw human? it was a another day, another death, of our own.
Our miner, Zoe she went insane, considering, she didn't know if she was next to be eaten next, and the fact we ate a fellow colonist raw, it just... it.... it sent her over the edge. It was sad to see her go.
but it was another day lived. We sent good-man, out to hunt, we got raided, while he was out, they kidnapped him, at least he took 3 of him down with him, another few days to survive.
Spring is apoun us. Still no traders. we finally gave up.
It being spring and the growing season not until summer, we didn't have much choice. we scraped beds, stoves, containers, SHIT everything we could, it was the only source of metal left, the turrets, we hurried, we deconstructed anything we could find, we still didn't have room for 1 colonist, his name was kacy, nice guy, but he was the newest... we shot him incapacitated and lift off!
We did some nasty thing, but we survived. it was necessary the rest of us survived right? i hope so, this glitter world we landed on is a bit advanced for us, we already had a former colonist hang her self.
Last log- Zane Loops.
(the last part about the glitter world is fake :P) (duh)
I left a deer to die in the woods of an extreme infection (untreated) because it was an innocent bystander to machine gun hunting, and so my colonists didn't pick it up automatically.
I occassionly have a colony of reavers... sewing the skin of my victims into clothes for my colonists and devouring the flesh, operating any and all machinery with no regards for safety And not a single fortification in sight, leaving the majority of wounds open... I could go on. (:<
One time I made a colony full of cannibal sociopaths. This was before prosthetics were in the game, so when somebody lost a leg they got eaten. Turns out this isn't a sound long-term plan.
I incoporate sleeping spot legless guests into my entrance kill box thing, if the raiders have plenty of melee I fall back to secondary positions and then hose the entire room with fire while they deal with the maimed fodder
That way they also stay fresh longer in my desert colony and I can still cash in if a slaver comes, multitasking ho! :P
Well, my grower died in a raid once, and with a lot of surviving raiders I had a little bit of a food problem. I was pretty pissed so I stored the dead raiders in the prison and set up a butcher table, unticked the gets food option for every prisoner and butchered away. Raw cannibalism at its best! ;D
My social guy must have really had a way with words though, everyone stayed sane and even converted later on :D
My two worst things:
1: A colonist I'd taken on in the very early stages was pissing me off with too smart and constantly doing a Fraser ("We're all doomed!"/mental brake imminent). So one winters day I removed all his gear, gave him a tribal wear, and drafted him and stood him in the far corner of the map.
Eventually he broke and ran off the table with some serve frost bite.
The other bad one was when I needed a Prisoner so that my Warden could get his skill up and keep it up. So I took someone prisoner who had the best combination of traits to keep them from flipping out, then installed and then removed a bionic leg so that if they did go wacko they'd be Pre-immobilised.
At the start of my current colony I was visited by a 19-year-old girl which grew up in a cave on a toxic world. Because she didn't learned to read until her teens she decided to become a teacher so the other kids would have a better future.
When she visited me, she must have wondered whats behind this door in the mountain and accidentally walked into my prison. And stayed there. And suddenly I remembered that you can lock doors in Alpha 8.
When I opened it again, I took her clothes and her gear and buried her on my colonists graveyard, with a honestly bad feeling.
Two things
Released a prisoner and had a hunting party chase them down and kill them for teh lols
Removed hearts from prisoners, put them in a 4x4 room, and set that room on fire as a sacrifice to my colonies guards
Well I still cut the legs off of ALL my prisoners who look like they'll be subject to cabin fever..
(Install peg leg, remove peg leg in vanilla)
And I still butcher all the human corpses I come across and turn their skin into cowboy hats which my colonists are frequently wearing.. and sometimes Dusters.. in fact my colonists have been known to wear entirely human skin outfits...
And of course the meat is still worth selling so I typically have freezers full of human meat..
In fact come to think of it my planet's main exports at this point are probably humans in.. various forms...
And I can never be bothered cleaning up incapacitated animals after animal swarm events so I typically have like.. 20 incapacitated animals on my front doorstep just wobbling away for weeks before they bleed out or die of infection...
Occasionally the ones incapacitated by blunt weapons starve to death.. or some get up and go about their business (Albiet extremely wounded).
And of course there's that time on a cold world where I stored all the human meat in my colonists bedrooms - They didn't seem to mind though :P
Not the most horrible thing but a good excuse to bump up this thread ;)
My miner was working on a far away plasteel mine. He wasn't as good as now so it took him a while. But there was some raw meet supply drop near the mine and because I wanted to speed things up I placed him a sleeping spot next to it, hoping he would stay there for one or two days.
Of course he immediately got food poisoning and couldn't do shit. He almost had a mental break while vomiting back to the base because he was really pissed about the situation (sleeping outside + sleeping on the ground + tired (I waked him) + sick + ate raw food + whatnot...).
Through repeated clicking I managed to get all psychically deaf colonists. Then when the ship part fell I just left it there. Or rather I built a golden temple around it and had them worship it. The psychic droning became so intense that pawns who wander onto the map quickly go insane. Anyone who doesn't go crazy gets recruited into our mad space cult.

This is actually a really good idea :D
Once though it's a good idea to lock about 8 visitors near my colony in a room and keep them there, only to let tehm out when raiders come.
I didnt feed them, though. So when they were all straving and 2 of them already laying dead on the ground, the raiders finally came.
So I let the visitors out of their prison and they walked away towards the raiders. Before most of them could even hit a single raider, they died.
Only one visitor found his way back to his colony.
Ya'll be crazy. >.>
The worst thing I've done is remove a raider prisoner's lung for one of my colonists, since she wasn't of any use to the colony. I let her go free sometime afterwards; I figured a lung was enough of a payment for her life.
You mean besides leaving animals to bleed out instead of killing them so I don't have to worry about rotting? I incap them on the front lawn, and leave them there until we need more meat, then bludgeon them to death?
Well, I think my kill corridors are kinda horrible. turrets set back one space from a gap in a wall, in a hall that's narrow enough that to attack the turret you have to go directly in front of it, rather than worrying about the whole killbox slowing thing, it can be a nice right angle corridor they have to pass through, and since colonists can go behind to the backside of the turret to repair them, not too bad on the damage. So the raiders come in, chasing the colonist with the shield, and, bam, right into a hall-o-doom. Then I get their leather for jackets!
My main source of income was to use a turret mined hall. Take the prisoners to sell to slavers/harvest. Feed them human flesh of their compatriots. Sell the skin and meat to bulk traders.
And if any slaves fall out of my grave I toss in a molotov and lock the door.
Every now and then I swap out the outer dungeon door with a wall and see what happens. After the bodies turn into skeletons I bring in the fresh batch of uh new recruits into the nice pleasant stone floors.
Oh man, this thread is such a good read :) I need to be more imaginative.
I haven't done anything that's not been mentioned in this thread, but the storyteller trolled me pretty hard when I first started playing. I was running out of food and overjoyed when some meats crashed down from the sky... then when I went to unforbid them, I realized they were human meat -_-
Some of my colonies had since resorted to cannibalism once in a while, but there's nothing quite like getting a nasty surprise from the event system.
Probably that one time when my soldiers gathered around a wounded enemy and forced their newest recruit to gut him like a fish in retaliation for a much beloved medic lost in that battle.

My worst... Had a brain damaged canablistic colonist . So I locked them in my prison along with a butchers table and cooking bench. Their job was to convince people to join. The only food source was those who didn't join.
I then took this a step further and walled then into a 4x4 room - conveyors in and out. They stayed in that room for 2 years with just one job - stip and butcher the dead and send out the meat.
Also kept a 16 boy on life support(mod) for a year after I removed every limb and organ you can.
A7/8, 6/70year old tribeswomen double peg one legged, set to haul only.
A8, removed legs off possible "solely cooking colonist" prisoner to get rid of cabin fever.
A8, dug up frozen corpses to feed colonists for half a winter, they ate the meat raw.
A9, removed organs from raiders, stripped them of everything, and released them for positive condition with faction with only herbal medicine and denied meals...
Compared to others I guess I haven´t been all too extreme.
The most extreme thing, I guess, was after a raid in which one of my colonists got one of his lungs destroyed ... I captured one of the raiders and removed his corresponding lung in order to transplant it into said colonist ... as they say: "An eye for an eye" or, in this case: "A lung for a lung"
Afterwards I sold the captured raider to the next slave trader who appeared.
Aside from this I only do the usual things ... selling raiders to slavery and often keeping them in non climatized cells, which in at least one case resulted in a death by hypothermia.
Made one of my more annoying colonists melee a herd of deer while naked till the deer beat him to incapacitation. Left him to die till a dry thunder storm started a fire.. So i made a medical sleeping spot near the fire and 'rescued' him to burn to death....
I once opened two ancient cryptosleep casket's and block the room off, leaving them to vomit their organ's out and starve to death, i really needed that LMG though...
Got an old man with bad eyes, bad back but is an amazing researcher.
The only thing he does is research.
And the cabin fever get's lowered with some cleaning now and then.
I do have a tribe I try to keep at high standing so they fight raiders for me.
Lot's of bodies ...
I have a dinning room were all the visiting colonys come, so that when they try to eat in there i lock them in. Inside the dinning room i have 5 heaters and begin cooking them so that i can take their stuff and rescue them to gain favor and being abble to amputate a few parts they proaberly don't need.
(http://i331.photobucket.com/albums/l470/steptroll/Warcrime2.jpg)
Changed my mind. it's definitely the way my flame troopers incinerate bodies after a battle... without bothering about whether or not said bodies are still alive.
When my colonists was hungry in the middle of winter... I started eat killed enemies.... After butchering them i created some clothes from they skins. I also rescue one guy that was bitten by a zombie and i taked his brain... He think that we will rescue him, but we do this only for that, for his brain, like zombies...
And one time colonist just wanna go away. I do not let him go away from my..... Town. We catched him and... we killed him. He was one of my first colonists, but he was weak...

Incap them, loot them, harvest them,
and gain reputation for it? I love it! ;D
Alpha 7, desert colony, 56 colonists.
No food in the map, beside my extensive hydrophonic farms.
Not enough. Food traders were scarce. Raids were not.
My 4 chefs were working all day long creating meals for the colonist. They found that any meat could work.
What happens in the desert, they say...
Four doctors, 2 cooks, 2 slaves (hauling and cleaning). I would only ever recruit another person if one of my positions 'emptied' out. Tons of trap structures setup to wipe out any incoming armies. Survivors are stripped of kidney, lung, then heart, then butchered and consumed. If they die in the attack, they are butchered and consumed. Don't need a single farm.
I butcher people and take out organs to sell and all that, but it's become so standard I don't think much about it.
Some things I do that I didn't read in this thread yet, in no particular order:
1. During raids, I have sometimes let out a prisoner by tearing down the wall or leaving the door open, so that they will escape, only to function as decoy and draw fire away from my people and turrets. This works with pirate prisoners for tribal raids and vice versa.
2. I was a bit low on people and turret materials when preparing to activate and take down an alien ship. I set my Animal zone 1 to be next to the ship, sent my pet warg over and bought some extra dogs and had them walk around there before activating the ship. Again, for decoy, and it worked amazingly. Animals cost very little for the usefulness in this kind of situation.
3. I regularly starve prisoners to save food, and I also starve them to 87% when they fall out of bed and become "risk of death" because then you can put them in cryptosleep caskets without actually hurting them. Then they can be stored indefinitely, and I'll take them out 1 at a time for recruiting or organ farming over a long time period, to balance out food costs and mood losses.
4. I activate alien ships and then leave them there for as long as possible, if I have the time I also build barriers on the map to lead raids, travellers and visitors into passing by them. This can absorb a lot of raids, and visitors get killed which drops loot.
Sometimes you can save visitors and gain reputation. And on ice maps or winter season it's the best, because once the aliens are weak énough or I just decide to take them out, I can easily harvest 30-50 corpses from the battlefield and buthcer up and sell for money like usual.
5. I get really annoyed with mad squirrels and other useless events that slow the game down. I woudln't bother if the game allowed me to override the speed decrease, but as it is now it's just too much. My solution as of few days ago is whenver a mad squirrel or hare happens, I activate dev mode and play the lightning bolt game. It's quite fun by itself and I enjoy it especially because it gives some feeling of revenge against all those mad squirrels that ruined my life so many times.
If you had waited just four days to post this you would have succeed in getting a full year out of that thread necro... damn...
...but considering how evil this thread is, I can't say that it's an inappropriate target of thread necromancy :)
I'm not nearly into evil as everyone else who plays this game it seems, but I did have one victim of a bullet to the brain stumbling about uselessly who I told to strip naked and walk off onto the ice sheet. I sent someone out to pick up and incinerate his frozen body shortly afterwards.
To train melee I sent my brawler to club the brain dead prisoner I had. He took a finger off before I felt really bad and never did it again. I don't harvest people, theirs mods for that. I think I'm the least evil person. But I am playing with zombies and I watch as people visit me and stuff. Then bleed out and die.a
There is something wrong with that. It's perfectly OK to repeatedly shoot and torture your prisoners but it's a major mood penalty to execute them?
well i sorta said to a guy yeah you can live with us its fine we will fight of those raiders so instead i draft him and tell him to stay where the raiders would appear then i rescued him harvested his arms legs and brain then well euthanized him
I shoot raiders when they are down, that's the worst I do, all the rest of y'all are just messed up.
Well, after raiders, i always put the last in prison and get their organs, so they stay alive and i let them free to get better conditions with the fractions.
The one time, i just want to hit the prisoner for fun, because he burned my colonists, he lost his nose then attacked one of my colonists...how can they even attack while they are handcuffed? anyway, i let one of my colonists shoot him with his shotgun, thats it.
Then i want to finish A12 (for A13), so i decided to build the ship and leave the planet with my 8 colonists.
While they build the ship parts, some of my colonists are getting sick and we had no materials for every Ship cryptosleep casket.
So one of the colonists was taking a knife and stab the two sick other colonists.
To get more steel for the ship, i told two colonists to destroy the Geothermal generator, sadly it was very very hot (~250°C or something) in the room i build around the Geothermal generator.
So these two get burned alive...
After that i told my colonists to stab the last members, because we had no steel and on.
So at the end, the three main colonists are flying to space and leave all the 100 chicken left on the planet, with the corpses of the other colonists.
Yeah, that's an unfortunate feature of escape ship logic -- the more colonists die before you launch the easier it is to get going.
I was building a ship once for 6 colonists when an electrical short blew up a workshop and killed two of them. "Oh, great, that's 1000 less steel I need!" Kind of sad :)

I think you get a huge debuff in faction relationships every time you harvest organs, so it doesn't work so well. That's why I only harvest from pirates and not from tribals. You can sell them as slaves to pirate traders instead and not get a relationship debuff. It's also more manageable in terms of income vs food vs mood loss, I find.
I'm not really cruel but sometime the game just does'nt give you the choice.
- One normal day with Randy on an ice sheet, no food left after eating the last human corpse, and no sellers or raiders for a while. Its seems like the AI decided to sit and watch everyone dying. I asked my colonists to go outside, the first to fall was the one who has been eaten.
- After losing some beloved colonists during a raid, I captured all the raiders I could and cut them into pieces. Sold the organs and gave the meat to my dogs after making cushion from their skins. I was a bit pissed off this day.
Hmmm, are there any debuffs involved in feeding butchered human corpses to your animals? Other than for the butcher that is...
No, colonists don't do anything about it, you'll just have to put the human meat in a separate stockpile and forbid the regular food stockpile to the animals. It's a quite efficient way to save food. If it's cold enough outside you can just throw it somewhere and it can't degrade as far as it can't spoil.

If you need to save food, I say butcher and eat the animals. I almost entirely stopped bothering with animals because they eat so much food. Nowadays I only tame them to sell asap.
If you have grass outside most animals will eat that. But if you're playing on desert/tundra/ice sheet, yeah, feeding animals will be hard. Chopping up attackers and feeding them to the pigs can help :)
Addendum for "worst thing I did" -- I just had a new colonist join. She had an abrasive personality. Ugh. So I ordered her to attack a boomalope... and the boomalope won the fist fight. Damn. So I had another colonist shoot her in the head and take the mood debuff I was trying to avoid.
I actually hate my colonists, so I always feed them only nutrient paste ;D.
Even when my colony is prospering, and half of my people have no jobs to do, I focus on building my golden monument instead of getting a basic kitchen up and running 8)
Locking a guy i disliked in a corpse incineration vault. I use them over burials / cremation machines for everyone but vips who die.
I really, really think that pawns should start breaking rules when in danger. Stuff like trapped npcs breaking down doors / walls if trapped, just so this kind of execution isn't as easy.
Well, I haven't been playing for that long, but the worst thing I've done is cut out all the non-vital organs out af a prisoner, strip him naked, and then send him out in the middle of an arctic winter. He didn't make it half way.
I set up a visitor 'barracks' just outside my colony's main gate filled with about eight guest beds,electricity and an industrial cooler set to -200 degrees Fahrenheit for my 'guests'. Mind you, I'm playing on an ice sheet map and was very annoyed to find out that there was no longer a way for me to lock out 'friendly visitors' who were on the verge of mental breakdowns by the time that they made it to my base. The worst part is I've kind of taken to using it as a corpse farm as most visitors live just long enough to appraise my...er...hospitality before kindly dying of hypothermia and/or frostbite. Needless to say most of my colonists diets shifted from survival rations to an absurdly weird mix of soylent green, elephant meat(Randy was being a funny guy and triggered a manhunter event that sent elephants on the icesheet in the dead middle of December) and sea snake fillets from drop pods. The best part is my colonists are purposely eating their allies and their allies love them all the more for it.... All because in a12 there's no way for me to lock them out or tell them to come back later. :-\
I never thought to dig up the corpses on my old colony that starved a lot during winter..
Worst thing I've done in this game has to be.. Locking prisoners up in an extremely bloody room with filth EVERYWHERE and then taking lungs + kidney + 2 peg legs and then leaving them there in the 50C room to starve.
My strategy for hunting in early game (when I don't have so many turrets yet) is to take a guy who is best at shooting and go to some muffalo or elephant pack. Then shot each animal 2 times and wait till they die from wound infection. I'm doing it to minimize the risk of revenge from a whole herd.
Mine is that I now unapologetically kill any mentally injured colonist. Out into the cold wearing nothing. Go die you half functioning, tortoise walking, collapsing sack of Drool!!!!
This is in direct contradiction to my first play through where I would artificially prop up any such colonist with full bionics and convenient bed rooms.
Other than that it's just the standard butchery to hats production and crimes of war. :3
I got a wander joining, and on a whim, harvested everything I could from him(This was with EPOE, so both legs, both arms, both eyes, both ears, nose, jaw, stomach, a liver, and a lung), then sold him and all his parts to a slave trader.
Usually though, I don't bother with acts of unspeakable evil. It gets boring after a while, and human skin doesn't make very good clothes anyways.
Hmmn, I'm not very evil, but after growing extremely impatient with a prisoner, i parted him out, except the last part. I kept that in and tossed a molotov into the blood coated, vomit painted, empty room that was the prison. Beds lit , and the entire room set ablaze, burning him up.
Wasn't the most efficient of course, the beds i could of salvaged, but it was satisfying, especially since my colony was on the brink of death.
I also think I've used pacifists as human shields before. If they refuse to fight, they can still be useful in combat by taking a few bullets.
Also, from the dev blog alpha 13 feature list
"Animals can gnaw corpses apart directly now"
I wonder if we can have corpse storage be right inside the prison, and have pet wargs dining on the bodies? Both as free food, and to scare the living shit out of prisoners... If so, i think this will give evil people in rimworld a difficult decision. Butcher corpses, or let dogs eat them?
Looking forward to animals eating corpses, as it will let me turn my prison into a Roman Coliseum.
Just stun a herd of vicious animals, build a wall around them, then attach a prison with a door facing into it. Wait until animals are starving and then open the door.
That is devious, and very possible.... Just keep certain pet beds open, go and incap various wargs / other meat eaters, and nurse them to health. Then break the wall with perhaps a few ieds against the wood walls, and watch the fighting begin
A large group of mechanoids raided us. after they all died i realized one survived, with no legs or arms, he was just lying there unconsious because he couldnt move. he can still communicate, so i just left him there. hes been there 7 weeks as part of his punishment. maybe that will teach the mechanoids to raid me.
Or act as a beacon for all other mechanoid raids, along with spying on your base to send them Intel on your defenses, but let's stay positive, shall we?

He was one of the ones that got sniped, so from his angle he cant see my defenses, only my growing areas, and my hunters when they go past.
Okay, below is far from the most horrible thing that I do. I was thinking about this thread as I was writing on my own. This is a scenario on a world I create, even on biomes with a year 'round growing seasons.

"Anyone else have the Rimworld itch?"
I hear you can get a cream from your doctor for that.
I went to the doc today about that, no dice. He told me, "Sometimes you just need to scratch it." I am currently making a nice mountain dwelling cannibal collective. Anyone who can not hack eating nothing but meat go into the pot themselves. One bad mood trip, even if it was triggered by a psychic wave, and into it you go. Is it wrong to be excited about the prospect of having full grown babies and then eating them? It is a fierce itch abuilding with no great way to scratch it.
That is one of my tame worlds. I was thinking of some of my better ones, especially back around Alpha 7 or 8 when meat did not spoil. At the time I did not do the whole cannibal ensemble, but as soon as I realized I could make beautiful leather out of my fallen, friend and foe alike I did. I only ate their flesh as a last resort, as I did not like having those crazy cascading mode meltdowns that colonies used to suffer a la Dwarf Fortress cat-death. You all know what I am talking about. I had two or three colonies in this era of game development have a tantrum that consumed half the colonists or more before it burned out, with only a few psychopaths or cannibals remaining, usually too damaged to mount a proper defense before the next big push.
This particular colony was named Meat Wagon, because of an early event which left 2 of my original colonists dead, with only one standing strong and an early joiner crippled by a tantrum sparked by an abrasive chap who made my other colonists hate each other. One night of heavy forced mining to get big rooms for each of them was all it took and when the gunsmoke settled only two remained. The crops were soon burned by the next pirate attack (like the next day), which left my poor chaps with only one choice, eat their dead or die slowly. They made it by being bad asses and the situation stabilized long enough for my town to flourish and to grow to 20-25 colonists. The meat from the butchered, of course by my psychopath cook lay on a field outside of town, piled by their thousands to bake forever in the sun, just in case.
Part of the problem of course was there pretty much only was desert biome, so you had to make due with a small growable area, and a raid like before, or a bad storm could send me back down the rabbit hole of cannibalism at any point, which I desperately tried to avoid. I grew to almost 30 colonists, which at that point I considered a feat of genius, but now realize was a fit of madness. I took on everyone, those sensitive to brain-waves, the ever surviving abrasive chap hung on, to make everyone realize that there was no way that there was ever a sun shining outside. Then the spark happened, and a larger calamity ensued than I had already thought would.
A fire from a miss-thrown Molotov gave, damn <name redacted>, set all my fields afire and no amount of punching could stop it. Two of my colonists perished in the flames, but worse still was to happen. My buildings also caught ablaze, the wood of some of my walls catching the rooms within a-light, destroying my stockpiles of food, reducing in two minutes the work of my colony for two years. I immediately put meat on the menu, and things took an even further turn to the surreal. Within two weeks three of my colonists snapped, killing four before being gunned down. Two died, but the third was left to me with but one leg, as the ever present luck shot took off his left leg. There was no way to help him, no cure for his ailment. This prompted me to make another executive choice; the gimp had to die.
My resident body ghoul/ cook walled him off to die quietly inside the same mountain rooms that had been the scene of the first tantrum spiral, and there he died. In the age before everyone automatically knew a colonist died as if by esp, he then went to making the ghoul's route in the middle of the night, un-entombing his corpse and butchering him, using the mantra that came to define this colony and all of my colonies since, "more meat for the meat-eaters."
Two years later, everyone who survived, thirteen at the time, bore the scars of battle from both within and without, fattened by the flesh of those who were unworthy to live in Meat Wagon. They were clothed with human leather from head toe, with dusters and cowboy hats completing the ensemble, letting the world know that everyone has utility, both in this life and in the here-after. Thus began my recruit-everyone but only-feed-them-flesh policy for my Rimworld survivors on this colony, but legends of it whispered on to the future and all future colonies were developed along those lines becoming further refined as the development of the universe which encompasses Rimworld allows.
I made a craft once to say I did it, but ran out of materials for all of my colonists (Alpha 11 I think), so they drew straws. There were seven too many colonists for seats, so I randomly pulled off 8 colonists and drafted them. I then had them target each other to see who would survive to get a seat. They all died sadly, so we ate them and then rolled the credits on that colony. I will one day make a mod, maybe for lucky Alpha 13, to give a first taste cannibalism event to my prisoners. Role the dice to see it they get the cannibalism trait or go crazy and have to be put down like rabid dogs. Although in my colonies, rabid dogs are valuable, those who do not appreciate so freely given by others to keep them alive are not. My levels of horrible choices tend to be further along on the spectrum than others, as cannibalism is always the norm, the parting out of prisoners who are brain damaged to fund my early colony purchases is key, and walling in guests until they all die so that we can welcome to a feast properly is more likely than not.
My most wrong thing, for the norms of my colonies of course is this: I accidentally butchered and ate my colony's beloved Labrador after it sacrificed itself while fighting Mechanoids a few colonies ago. Stupid select all and clicking F. There is no option to not butcher pets, so he was gathered and eaten before they could properly entomb him in a crypt next to his mate who had tragically died a few months earlier to stray mini-gun fire while <name deleted> was hunting squirrels. One of my sadder moments in Rimworld history. My colonists had missed her so much that they would gather next to her grave to visit or to peacefully watch the sunset before gathering the new thresh from the fields for feasting. Such a happy place that colony was, save for the empty tomb for my beloved lost pooch. Sad days.
Fresh news:
I have a colonist with nervous trait, she was going crazy like all the time. I just had two raids, and she got infection on her torso. So she went berserker, this time, i forgot i gave her a knife. She went out of her bedroom, and sadly, my dog was walking by. He cut out his leg, i was trying to subdue her but it was too late.... This dog is missing two legs now... I smashed her head with a club when she was sleeping, and ordered my psychopath cook to butcher her. Did i mention she is one of three first of my colonists? And that she was a daughter and husband to two other colonists? Yeah, fuck that bitch, she wont attack my dog!
I had this colonist that joined, she was at max age, two pegg-legs and no eyes, and a 20 in ranged weapons,. she slept outside my vault for three weeks in the cold before died because I forgot about opening the main door. I felt so horrible . The stuff I do ain't that bad, its stuff I don't mean to do is the stuff that gets horrible,. Like the time I played a lone-man colony and the only colonist beat a guest to death with his hands for opening the during a flash-freeze.
In my most recent colony I had two of my colonists break up and so I guess to get back at the other one? the female got with the male's dad. Yes She got with his dad lol, I wasnt okay with this and since she happened to be the colony's doctor I got her to harvest all of his organs, locked him naked in a room, left him there for days until he began starving... and then set the room alight.
Another time my colony was on the brink of death and I had about 20 prisoners (they obviously didnt like us enough to join up) and then a huge pirate raid of about 40 people came in, so I stripped all the prisoners naked, and let them run off towards the pirates among the ice sheets. The pirates decided to flee after 10 or so died to prisoner fists. I captured all my prisoners that hadnt frozen or died to the gunfire and stripped them of their non-essential body parts and lined them all up in the prison. And promptly shot them all in the head. Lovely meat to keep the colony alive for a little longer.
bought 300 chicken eggs and used all the chicks to eat the map barren so every thing would die.
I grew weary of digging graves and burying my enemies with honor, particularly after two tribal raids in the same day, which yielded 53 dead and 12 captives. The solution struck me by accident when I noticed one of my arctic wolves chowing down on a tribal corpse. Now I keep a humanlike corpse stockpile in the wolves' den, where my semi-tame pack can dispose of the bodies, and fill their bellies, at the same time. When I see the "Raid" signal flash, my main handler raises the call to the pack - "it's feeding time!" - and the howls fill the air.
Release a lot of prisonners and shoot them when they're about to reach the corner of the map, only one manage to survive, that one with 30% of movement
Either butchering up raiders, mixing them into kibble and feeding them to the pets. Or butchering chickens(I use colony manager, so a lot of chicks bite the dust in an attempt to manage the population) then mixing them into kibble and feeding them back to the pets(and chickens). Despite using a lot of meat to basically increase how much I can do with the limited hay I have, I still have enough meat incoming from the slaughtering that I don't really have to hunt anymore.

Though the funniest thing to me is how he basically is a pretty useless character, except for his aim(pre-brain injury). Slothful and low skills all around, he's going to be doing nothing beyond hauling, cleaning and shooting.
Back in like, alpha 13, I removed all non extensional organs and limbs off a prisoner and then I kept them as a pet. His name was Josh.
The worst I ever did (and generally do) was/is running artist colonies/bear breeders thar wear... suspicious but natty leather clothing. Especially some fine cowboy hats.
The town couldn't get enough uranium for a traditional spaceship. So they built what they could. They packed in their best art, food, medicine, and valuables.
Then they lined the walls with two-layer thick IED traps for propulsion, assembled all of the colonists, pets, and prisoners, and initiated the launch with a Doomsday Rocket Launcher.
Only a scorch mark on the ground commemorates their ascension to the heavens.

Removed hearts from prisoners, put them in a 4x4 room, and set that room on fire as a sacrifice to my colonies guards
KALI-MA! KALI MA!
I'm generally a nice guy. I treat my prisoners well and release the ones I don't need. I don't sell slaves, I don't kill people for organs, and I don't turn raiders into hats. But occasionally I do something a little mean, either mechanically or story-wise.
Story-wise I once captured the faction leader of a pirate group that had been raiding me like crazy and had thus massively pissed me off. I proceeded to force-feed the poor bastard every drug in the game (I even set up farms and a drug lab to make the ones I didn't have) until she was addicted to all of them then I administered Luciferium and let her go, ensuring that the most troublesome faction was now led by an unstable disaster who was hooked on everything imaginable and would inevitably go out in a blaze of fury that would make Tony Montana look like Howdy Doody. She died the next season. I wonder why.
Mechanically the worst thing I did was when I was surrounded by manhunters so I released a bunch of prisoners to act as distractions while my guys got in position. While the manhunters and the prisoners fought each other my guys flanked around and threw a dozen grenades and molotovs into the mess, killing almost everybody.
Interesting, so there *is* a use for tribal prisoners...
...I wonder if this would be a viable strategy in a pirate attack. Or a scythe attack...
It was after a raid. There were several dead bodies, almost too many to count. However, I caught a glimpse of one body writhing around on the ground. I figured that I would capture her and make her join my colony before I looked at her health tab. She was old enough to be Cthulu's grandmother, and had the physical ailments to prove it. She was frail, bad backed, going deaf, and struggling with dementia. Out of mercy I made one of my colonists put her out of her mercy, since she looked like she could fall apart like a house of cards if you looked at her too hard.

The old testament got it right.
An Eye for an Eye, or whatever bodypart we need.
_ My prisoners all live in a big cell, with some beds, but not enough for all, some have a bed to sleep, some not and have to use temp bed on the floor. They go berserk frequently and who won will got the bed, else come to the floor. Many died in fighting AND hunger, even i feed them kibble. Those are made from their inmates, and their tribal members, sometimes their relatives, husband, wife, childrens, mothers, brothers, sisters who died in my killbox or die fighting each others in that hell pit. Grass always there, but corpses you don't frequently have, so each one give up means others meal and hope for tomorrow, we all fight for that right ?
My colonists are not very talented, but resourceful they are...
Here they are in the middle of the arid shrubland, with heatwaves galore and no food to speak of, so I order one of my colonists to brave the heat, and get some agave fruit for the ones dying of starvation and heatstroke. Long story short, colonist dies of heatstroke right at the door, so my colonists still have a food problem. :(
Eventually they come up with a new plan. The colony's doctor decided to carry around and feed the freshly baked corpse to everyone in their room individually! Most morbid room service I have ever seen... :o
RIP Rice, you will always be with us. :'(
The colony of The Russian Confederation
The most evil thing I have ever done
One of my favorite colonists had recently lost both legs and was literally a human vegetable, I needed bionics (expanded prosthetics and organ engineering mod) and I was very low on plasteel. Luckily for me a nice trader caravan showed up that had enough plasteel for my bionics; I did not happen to have enough silver so I decided to take advantage of them. I attacked them with my colonists and got lucky, they all got downed. I arrested them, harvested some organs, installed peg legs on all of them, grouped them into a blood/ vomit stained room (old hospital wing) and threw a couple molotovs in there. I watched them all run around in panic (but not too fast because of the peg legs. They all slowly burned to death and I felt good about, I felt fucking pride.
I am a psychopath.
Dwarf Fortress is actually even more evil than RimWorld. You can flood *the entire planet* with magma, then water (which leaves mud, when it eventually drains, suitable for planting). All Dwarven problems *solved*! And then there's that chop-a-leg-off-a-buddy-and-carve-a-bone-flute thing xD...
My gleeful hatmaking and Peopleburgers® franchises (both of which, by the by, you can also do in DF ^^') in RW simply cannot compare.
In comparison to other stories here, my "bad thing" isn't as bad as I initially thought:
My prison is delightfuly decored with blood splats, puke stains and a pile of bodies and bones of those who didn't make it to the "release trial", wich consists in a cage fight with my brawler.
If the prisoner dies, it will be food for the beasts. If downed, returns to his/her living hell. If wins, he/she will be shot to death, of course. Nobody can kill my colonists and live to tell the tale.
I removed a brain from one prisoner and transplanted it into another prisoner to cure their Alzheimers.

Happy Halloween!!!!!

Playing cannibal run on ice plains, and food is always an issue. Only cannibals get a permanent place in this colony, that's the "rule". So, I took in a colonist who was ok, but not a cannibal. Food became a real issue at one point so they got stripped, drafted and walled into a 1x1 room and left to freeze and starve. Coudn't hurt anyone with the mental breaks. They made a nice stew, so all's well that ends well, right?
So what was the advantage to freezing him to death instead of just euthanizing him?
