So I've been thinking about fun ways to potentially abuse Rimworld, and I've found a game mode that I've been enjoying recently. You basically place Solar Panels everywhere out in the open, and build batteries/auto-turrets around them. Connect them all via power cables and, theoretically, wherever raiders spawn you'll have usually have the upper hand on them.

But I wanted to try something else. It looks like raiders pick open areas away from your colony. So if that's true, you could leave one area open, and have all the raiders funnel down a pathway trying to take out your defenses at every step, not unlike a Turret Defense game. Has anybody tried it yet?

I find myself often times wanting to assign groups to various structures people for various actions. For example, I will usually keep my auto-turrets offline until raiders come, at which point I pause the game and turn them all on one at a time.  That helps conserve power. Similarly, when raiders come, if it's going to be a long siege, I'll often turn off most of my lamps.

Same thing with if I wanted to have two teams of colonists attack from two different angles, or have my rifle snipers attack from one area, and my pistol users from another.

Even for oafs.

If you haven't checked out "A dark room", it's a neat little game that doesn't really play out the way you expect it to. While it doesn't really have any emotional impact or tough decisions to make, it's still a pretty fun game. Neat scavenging elements to it.
