New Colony Again | Core Only | 500% | Naked Brutality | No Traps | No Killbox | 26 | Rimworld

RIMWORLD - Core Only (No DLCs | No Gameplay Mods) 500% - Losing is Fun - Randy Random Naked Brutality Start Commitment Mode A Twitch VOD Challenge Series This is a full playthrough that was streamed on twitch in it's entirety. The Challenge: Can we go from one single naked pawn dropped on a planet to a thriving colony and victory over the sadistic onslaught of Randy? All DLCs will be deactivated, and there will be no mods to alter gameplay. The only mod used (eventually) was Random+ to speed up the selection process for our starting pawn in the interest of audience and streamer sanity and time. Launching a ship so we can see the credit screen will be the main goal, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. Survival has to come first, and it's gonna be a rough ride without any of our tried and true methods from the DLCs that we usually play with. Grab some popcorn, and pull up a seat, cause this is going to be one hell of a story! What is 500% Losing is Fun? Losing is Fun is the hardest difficulty setting that you can select without customizing the settings. On this difficulty the threat scale is at 220% and there are debuffs to growing, immunity, and other aspects of gameplay. For 500% we go into the customize menu, set it to the Losing is Fun settings in the pull down menu and then turn up the slider for threat scaling to 500%. This is commonly done for challenge playthroughs and is generally the settings someone will be referring to if they say they are doing a 500% run. Who is Randy? For those new to the Rimworld experience, you may not know that when you start a game you get a choice of story teller in addition to setting the difficulty and save style. The story teller determines how events will unfold in your playthrough. Randy is the random event story teller. He can be very very punishing because he has a fraction of the cooldown between major bad events as the others, but since it is all random there can also be very quiet times during the playthrough where not much is triggering at all. All of which is determined by the RNG that guides Randy's story telling. Commitment Mode: Another setting to select when starting a new game is whether or not to play on commitment mode. On commitment mode there is no saving other than auto-save (in case of crashes, and such). The only time the game gives you an option to save manually is when you exit. You cannot reload and try again in this mode. When someone dies they are dead. When your favorite couple breaks up they break up. Everything that happens is permanent and there are no take backsies. Shout Outs: I have to give a shoutout to @AdamVsEverything and @FrancisJohnYT The vast majority of what I know about playing this game comes from these two creators. I love both of their content, and would never have gotten anywhere on hard difficulties without watching them. Thank you all for coming on this journey with me. I look forward to the story unfolding with everyone.
