What's there to watch on a Rimworld?

[vagineer1]

I'm thinking reruns of Cowboy Bebop.

Or there's some crazy coot running a TV station somewhere on the wasteland.

Now I want my colony to be able to broadcast TV. Pirates would stop attacking; why would they want to destroy one of the only sources of entertainment on the rimworld?

Eh, one of my idea for the Communication console involve the (still unused) trait "Famous person" and "Fan", broadcasting.

You could buy a camera and transmitter from traders and make "acting" a source of joy. Your colony becomes a studio for c-list soap operas broadcast over the endless wasteland.

Turns out, that's what psychic waves are.

Under rated post, Both follow the same sci fi rules

Unfortunately for my colonists, they only get to watch endless reruns of Lost, Gilligan's Island, Lost in Space, and, if they've been bad, I'm A Celebrity...

I had a little look and seems that the only channel my colonists can get is 'Dave' so endless repeats of topgear and QI

[keylocke]

i haven't actually seen my colonists watch tv.

i placed mine in front of sofa seats arranged in a "U" pattern in front of it, but i didn't see them actually use it. i also placed one in my prison room and the prisoners ignore it as well.

they seem to prefer other activities like billiards and chess more. strange

-this was on 10c
-yes, the tv has power.
-yes, the tv is accessible.

i just assume they're watching but not paying much attention. like how i watch tv while i'm on the computer. lel.

If your colonists had a channel, your enemies would call it state media and raid your TV station.

Considering the various ending I would like to see become true, this would make me happy.


"People of the Rimworld ! Now the time is not to fight, but to become friend ! How long have we been fighting amongst yourself although we have everything to win from helping each other ! Pirates are a threat to everyone of us, join us in ...."

Relation with all faction except pirate raise by 100%
All Pirate group are massively attacking immediately
All allied faction are coming to help immediately

Epic Music Start Playing
** ensue the most epic battle you will ever see, marking the beginning of a new Era **

...then the game End.
and you start a new game where you'll exterminate all non-believer.

Put a bit of western style showdown music in that and that would be (Pardon my language) fucking glorious.

Eh, they get replays of Let's Players playing Rimworld.
