Alpha 8 Screenshots

[Tynan]

These are brilliant!

If any of you are willing to have them posted with RimWorld marketing materials I'd be appreciative. If so you could post them at the official screenshots thread.

I might post a few.
Do you need potential pictures to be cropped so there isn't menu and or other stats?

No thanks, I can crop. Just please don't post pictures with mod stuff in them.

Way to park your car dude...



Seriously how often those thing have to fall in my base, that's the second time in a row =p
I am pretty new to the game and this is a 350x map so I assume chances of it landing in my base should be pretty slim, or at least that's what I assume.

Hahaha, I know the feeling all too well mate!! They tend to land at the worst places at times! At least it is easy to set up some defences to actually destroy it!
Here's a picture of one that landede litterally at my main-door, blocking it, and even spawned scythers indoor!

I also had one, that landed right on my stockpile, so when I destroyed it, the materials were allready ready to be sold!

The bad thing about my landing is that I had about 10 centipedes and 6 sythers to deal with :c

Hehe I also had one land literally in the worst place it could land, my main defense front out of plasteel turrets

Oh man... Ship parts landing behind the lines. Glad I'm not the only one:

Awkward fight, shooting at my wind farm from the wrong side of my defenses.


Also, here's an example of a stone-walled greenhouse following the contours of a rich soil patch:


Both totally disqualified for the official screenshots thread for mod content. Sorry about that.

i'm seeing a lot off ppl not using green houses or not putting hydroponics in the optimized way for 1 grow lamp

if your struggling with food build a green house to have year round growth..

for hydroponics i use this layout greenhouse uses the same surface

Hey，what do you think about my design?

Guys behind walls are melee guys waiting for bad guys to close in

The fall of yet another colony. "There's too many of them!"

[Marnador]

And this is when you realize that the game is trying to end your colony...

[Apophis]

My colony in a flat tundra biome. Still very much work in progress, but it functions quite well.


I use a different defence system to what I see mostly on this forum. I built a couple of turrets to cover open places. When my colony is under attack, my colonists withdraw to the second layer of the buildings, forcing the enemies to march through the small openings. Below a battle scene. The pirate band dropped right on my trade beacon.



My guys, armed with short range and automatic weapons easily kill all those snipers. My brawlers wait in the buildings for a chance to get close to the enemies.
When a colonist is overrun, he can always enter a building, and even sneak out through the back if necessary. The doorways also are a great place to take cover.

The aftermath:


Score: 9 pirates dead, one wounded. One got away. 2 colonists slightly wounded.

My colony is a bit of a mess, but I thought this strategy does not get enough attention.
This is on rough (60%), Cassandra.
I have also battled mechanoids like this, 4 centipedes armed with charge blasters and a minigun. I don't know how it would hold up against scythers or inferno cannons, but I am optimistic.

P.S. I am taking screen shots with F10, but the UI still shows up. Is that supposed to happen?

F9 or F11 toggles show/hide UI.
