[Things I dislike:]

Hello! I been having a lot of fun playing RimWorld without mods though I think it might be time for me to try some mods. I like to explain a bit about what I like and dislike and you can tell me where to go from there.

PLEASE NOTE this is not my review or take or hate on the game. We are all made different and there is nothing wrong with that This is just my own personal tastes.

Things I dislike:

• The crashed robot ship causing people to go insane overtime.
• The sieges are fine if your mountains but if not it's beyond a pain to deal with them if you don't full out attack. I was playing a large map and this was a pain in the but.
• Cable Short discharging the Batteries. I like Batteries to be in large numbers and I rather not have half or 90% of them off for emergency use only because then that makes it not fun storing them... Plus the next point also makes them not as fun.
• Solar Flare killing all the electronics. I really really dislike this one. Makes you a 100% useless in certain ways.
• Managing my colony for example want to check their weapons and armor and load them up I use the < and > keys or , and . and anyways the issue is it goes to each one.. I like that but also hate it when I want to equip each one with weapons or armor I gotta go back and forth to my stock.
• Junk I like to have a way to deal with more junk mainly the slate stuff.. I think you can turn them into iron etc. But the amount you got and the work was never worth it to me.

Things I like a ton:

• Turrets! I love them I want more I rather kill with turrets and not my colony
• Power! I love power I want to power more things I want to help protect my power grid better and I want better ways of managing batteries like not having the issue of them discharging on shorts etc.
• Incinerating corpse would love to see like slate for that as well as other stuff.

I could go on I sound like an ass when I read this but it's just things I find annoying etc. I guess what I enjoy is waves of bad guys coming for me. I guess what I like is more tower defense and hold your base. If you do things right you could probably afk and not worry. I guess I like machines, new buildings, etc to be able to do more the operations for me and let the colony do their own things a bit more.

I sound like some Factorio freak or something and I do apologize

So this is a really newbie experience and prospective of a new player playing. Feel free to comment or yell at me or offer suggestions and tips. Please note though that I do record a few episodes ahead of time it does not mean that I will not put the advice to use in the future and learn from in my text time through.
If you do comment through Youtube then don't forget it also helps other new players looking into RimWorld!

Thanks so much

Hello I'm new to RimWorld and the game looks amazing and I like to record some videos and yes boring, south park references, etc But I do find that my community tends to be influenced to try new games out through these videos and I also enjoy just sharing my experience it sort of brings a artificial Multiplayer experience for me.
So I guess I'm looking for tips starting out. I have a few basic questions as I tried to research watching others as well

• What is the best biome to start in?
• What is the best optimal temperatures to start in?
• AI Story Teller any chance of a better explanation on this? Classic I assume is just things get harder overtime. Random I assume just mix of difficulty at times maybe hard wave then a easy wave? And Builder not sure this one I assume AI even less often or maybe not at all? But then again not sure why there is difficulty options for it then.
• Is there still need to worry about performance of Large Maps? I watched this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMBQn_sg7DA [1] So I'm thinking large maps is fine now but I heard a lot of warnings about them.
• Is it better to build in mountains or build your housing from scratch? From what I hear wood burns really fast and often assurances.
• What is the best recommended power system? Solar or Wind? It seems like Wind can have a lot of downtime and issues with things getting in its way where solar is stable but requires batteries to store power.
• What would you recommend for a starting food. A cook / butcher or the special food green paste process thingy I forget what its called.
• So how does the entire world work? You pick one spot off a large world. Can you visit other zones or you trapped in your own zone? What happens when you run out resources like ore? Feel free to explain that whole area if you can and attached areas.
• Does having Multiple Colony on 1 World have any effects?
• Any mods you would suggest. I'm sure first time or few times no but I'm talking about special tweaks or information. For example I would love to see total power generate, stored, using, etc. That sort of tweaks via modding if possible.
• Is Tynan Sylvester as Canadian as they get?

Thank you and I really hope you are you family are having a great Holiday!
