 I have been recently playing with the beast men tribes mod, and a challenge I put on myself is I can only have lynx men tribe people anyone else is enslaved (prison labour). So far its going well, but I was wondering what other challenges people had come up with for themselves.

Canute

My latest game was an Apini werwolf pack, and they refuse to use range weapons.
But since no infection system for werwolfes i lack at new recruits and sacrifice other non-werwolfs to some cult-deity for goodies.

Nameless

I started to not build traps at all. It's pretty fun to kill raiders like that.

Recruit everyone. Literrally everyone you have a reasonable expectation to survive the injuries sustained in combat. Then once they are recuited you have to treat them like a colonist you want to keep around. Thats not to say give the useless ones power armor, but dont use them as meat sheilds either

I did something like that before but i didn't recruit anyone, just forced them to work (again prison labour) i had one extremely impressive prison barrack with like 30 prisoners. they did all the stone cutting cooking farming and hauling, food wasn't a problem with the 750 simple meals in stockpile from prisoners cooking and farming. 4 colonists 30 prisoners all but one were on constant wardening.

I've been playing no turrets/no traps for some time now. It's really fun and I did pretty well with it even on cassandra extreme. Recently, I played tribal melee only with no turrets/traps. That was fun too but poison ships proved to be my downfall.

I play all my games in Lost Tribe, using the first given five characters without choosing other randomizations. Not picking, using what you get only.

Hay Yoshida. You signature is a bit off mate. Are you suggesting that girls are inferior? and therefore need killboxes? Are you suggesting that males are superior to females?
Mods I would recommend:
Mending, Fertile Fields, Smokeleaf Industries and the Giddy Up series.

The Mod you must have:

  • no traps, no turrets
  • tribal only
  • no looting, no deep drilling, no OT

I think the next one i'll try neolithic research only


Modo44

No killboxes, no exploits using combinations of walls and deliberately open routes. Even using traps and turrets, you get a real challenge.

Objection!

The sentence, "Killboxes are for girls" is actually an empowering statement. Implicitly, if "girls" are permitted to use killboxes (as said killboxes are "for" them, implying possession), then those who do not meet the criteria to be considered "girls" cannot or should not use them. The honorable Vlad0mi3r, however, ascribes motivation to this grammatically-simple attribution of rights, based entirely upon unfounded speculation and the behavior of otherwise unrelated, clearly Misogynist individuals! Given there is no corresponding sentence assigning one or another thing to "boys," or any other group, the only reasonable conclusion is that Yoshida's signature is, in fact, biased in favor of members of the female gender within a specific age range, by virtue of ascribing that group rights to certain actions, which are not explicitly ascribed to other demographics.  Therefore, the sentiment on display is Misandrist, not Misogynistic, as it grants increased opportunities for success to young female players of Rimworld, while excluding all others.

...No one's buying it? Darn it, there goes my law career. Time to get into acting instead.

In case you couldn't tell, this is sarcasm. Why they haven't implemented the /sarcasm font yer, I have no idea...

Well the usual no Killboxes...

But i made some of my rules that i will or try to follow.

  • Some colonists will not wear helmets or an hat. If i like their hair style from some mods. or if it's colored.
  • Build your colony like a village or a town ( houses for each colonists are separated and have their own rooms or shops )
  • No walling off the entire colony. Brace for impact if the Raiders Attack en masse in all directions.
  • If i'm going to play a Tribal play through then... No Guns or Shield belts Sell Em'. No Building Turrets. Bows N Arrows, Clubs and Spears all day. No removing that tribal wear for a cowboy hat and duster just Sell Em'. Well except for Parkas and Tuques that's reserved for Winter or in Cold Snaps.
  • Colony jumping to the Caravan Journey ending. ( I did this once and i did well. well except for picking a place to settle my new colony after abandoning the old one and running out of food after reaching the place to settle a brand new second colony.)
  • Turning off all the mods and playing vanilla Rimworld
Well that's all i got.
I think just building houses rather than a large base full of rooms is kind of fun. ( Well except for toxic fallouts which i build pillars and roofs to reach my vital parts of my colony-esque village )
And that Killboxes kind of kill the fun IMHO.

EDIT: Fixed some of the typos.

One "happy family" in the rims...

I'm glad to find out there are others who don't use Killbox.

(In the meantime, I need to go find a better lawyer :P ... preferably male :P)
