And one last update before I put this thread to rest:

I wrote and narrated a story of the highlights that the colony went through.. I think it is quite entertaining, especially if you've been with the series through thick and thin! :p

Here's the playlist from the start if you're interested in watching from the start!

Thank you for reading, and have a wonderful day!

Hey guys, Blizz County here and I like to play my games hard. Well, hard enough whilst still being enjoyable! Here's a link to the first video!

This Let's Play is a slightly modded version of the game I've dubbed the "Retirement Home". What is the Retirement Home? Well, when people retire, they wanna move to some place hot. So I rolled my colonists until I got someone over the age of 60 and threw them into the hottest mountainous desert I could find.

The story will unfold over time, but all these old people wanna do is chillax.

Hopefully you enjoy watching, and have a good day!

Hello intrepid forum surfer!

I have just uploaded the conclusion to my Alpha 11 Let's Play series. Wee've been through a lot; the death of a colonist, countless raids and seiges, but will we be able to escape? Probably.

I was in first with a huge amount of score once, then I just had a group of 5 friends feed into one person and gang up into me.

I can't remember what I got, but I couldn't see you if you weren't on the top 10.

The "kygo sound" was so huge.

Just another update to my Extreme Challenge series!

I'm currently on Episode 10 of this Let's Play series. We've become a full fledged potato dispensary, taking people underneath the wing of Blizz County and keeping them alive in some of the most harsh weather you can think of. But some nerds try to take a chunk of my potato bank.

A little late to the party, but I'll still reply as I know it will be on the encore sale at the very end.

Civilization V is a super tight game and I've easily sunk over several hundred hours into it, forgotten to eat, and missed a date or two (They weren't really my type). It's a fun game, but it really does take a lot out of you when you finally play through a whole game.

Plus you better have friends that wanna marathon it if you multiplayer, I have so many unfinished games just sitting here because of the times someone had to get up and leave and we left the save alone until we'd all meet up again (We never did).

The expansions add a lot to the game, more so the Brave New World expansion that actually adds more of an end game. It's totally worth it if you're into any other Civilization though (Although it's combat and unit placement is a little different than in previous games, no doom-stacking anymore).

Hey, just a quick note, if you set up an allowed region that's just in the warm parts of your base, you won't have to Draft or micromanage your people when you don't want them going outside. While a pawn is assigned to an allowed zone, the game treats everything not in that zone as forbidden.

I tried using the zones yesterday, I couldn't get them workin'. Gotta practice on doing that! I'm a little too used to micromanaging though.

Thanks for the tips, I'll see what I can do.

Thanks for watching!

I'd just like to add that while that is a lot of plasteel, I would actually rather wait to when I'd be more apt for using it (Like crafting better weapons or making my rocket ship) simply because having loads of plasteel will drive up the wealth of your colony a lot.

This means that raids against you will be larger and stronger the richer you are.

Hopefully you're having fun with the game, and good luck!

Just a quick update for all you lovely people here!

I'm currently on Episode 7 of this Let's Play series. The weather is getting colder and I'm getting a little more scared, but with the help of the merciful god that is Randy Random, I think we'll be okay! We've already survived so much, and I'm sure that we'll get through this cold ass winter just fine. I hope.

True it would be alot harder to get well on some biomes atleast i say add it but make it simple to start like a test you know add boiling sea water for a fresh drink of water then go from there, Huh?

It would be damn near impossible to play on Tundra unless they added something like underground springs you can tap into. Ice Sheet you could like, mine ice to melt into water... And the desert would be insane unless there was something like an aquifer.

Unless that's implemented, or you keep having to buy water, it would pretty much make those biomes unplayable.

I could see if it's like, the size of a raid (Something about a 25 man raid on a brand new colony seems a little unfair).

This isn't necessarily a bad thing, even if it is "unfair".

Totally! It would be "unfair", but I would also love for it to be totally random. I'd be playing Cassandra if I wanted a curve. :p

Better factions system + interaction with them:

This is my favorite of them all. We need more things to do when we call the other colonies! We should be able to have a friendly conversation about spaceships and such

Hearing that a legitimate strategy is to lock these colonists in a room and kill them with extreme heat or cold? That's even worse than putting a bullet in their heads; should make the colony insta-hostile if you do something like that.

I love all of these, but some mods like the Cybernetic Storm mod really makes me like the idea of more resources to make different and more sophisticated weaponry.

ultra hard?
you're just supposed to get a decent researcher and get those hydroponics ASAP,
but then again I play ice sheet a lot so I know what I do.

Unless you play fully random colonists and don't get that. Then it's a fun time.

However, playing Harsh Tundra using the Hot and Cold biomes mod? You pretty much had to do the exact same thing to survive, bum rush hydroponics and just hope that you don't run out of food.

This is a very good idea.

As a music producer myself I would love this.
Something similar to the borderlands 2 menu theme strikes me. Acoustic and westerny, but obvious sci-fi infused sounds.

I was thinking a parody of the Duck Tales theme, just "Rim World, A-whoooo-ooh"...

Lyrics TBA.

Awww... I was kinda rooting for canibalism!
BTW, why didn't you start your base in the north, between those two vents?  Seems to me there would have been heat to spare, and you could have used some soil to start off a farm a lot sooner?

I would have! With me, that little hut was perfect since it was so close and a fireplace would have kept it very warm. Plus it gave me a huge mountain to mine into. I wanted something that was prebuilt rather than build my own hut to make it quick. Everyone had jackets which didn't make it necessary, but it would have been if they didn't spawn with 'em!

Connor would have been eaten, he would have been voted off Blizz County.

Thanks for watching, too!
