My colonists escaped on a proper spaceship instead of a rocket stick.

The weakest point in my base is 21 layers thick (3 of which are plasteel). http://i.imgur.com/xwI4BJd.png

I did that in vanilla rimworld with no dev mode.

Lets just say sellling crops is a good way to make a shit ton of money. Ended the game with something like 50,000 silver, 10,000 steel, and 1,200 plasteel. I honestly have no idea how many bulk traders I bought out of steel and plasteel.

You should put that on Tynan's screenshot thread!

Damn, What's the name o' your vessel Cap'n?

Wow thats awesome, and I aspire to build a base like yours one day.

Where would I find that, exactly?

Good question, I'll get back to you when I decide.

Thanks :-). I haven't even been playing a month yet, so it's not like there's an experience barrier preventing you from doing it now. Just learn from others, learn from your experience in the game, make proper use of the terrain, and take 10 minutes at the start of the game to create a long term vision of how your base will progress (based on the terrain). Planning is important unless you want to stumble over your past mistakes.

Holy ****!

I NEED to try something like this! Wow, thats really an impressive ship man, congratulations, really.

Did you plan the layout of the ship or roll with with and added things?

Yea I just don't have much time to play even though I have had Rimworld about a year now lol. I usually get bored and start over at a certain point. I don't seem to have much motivation to keep playing once everything is setup and working correctly.

woah nice, does it launch?

[Komyets]

Call me a copy cat, but this inspired me, since my colony was also pretty big and could handle on its own, I didnt have much motivation to keep playing with it, until I saw this post.

It gave me a new goal, to make a badass ship as well. It's still unfinished, need 30 Caskets x.x http://i.imgur.com/Y3fCLuk.jpg

One could say, "It's easy to get the steel." But on this colony I commited myself to never, never, use the mining tool. So I depend on my electric smelters, and traders to get it. Its... hard, but quite a challenge haha!
