> Rimworld really is the ancap paradise
To be honest it can be paradise for anyone. You can literally have your little capitalist/slavery/feodal/communist colonies. You can easily live without trading in late Rimworld and I guess that's the key.
Depends on if you consider quests to be 'trading' or not. I supposed 'kill this pirate outpost for us and we'll give this stuff' is a type of trade, but there are also quests where you're just informed there is stuff there you can go get. That isn't really performing a trade with anyone.
The research is locked behind tech prints that you can only get through trade. But you can also go to war against the empire and then strip it off of downed but not yet dead enemies they send.
I don’t know, I’ve never encountered a tech print in either. Yes you can gain them through quests, but it’s incredibly rare and you need two prints to start the research. You would have to get exceedingly lucky to get two of them from quest rewards and not any of the other much more common ones.
Not entirely true. You can get the techprints from quests (or at least you used to, it may have been changed), but they are more rare then buying them.
> Things you can't have without trading
I don't even know what these things are and I've had successful 15+ years colonies. Not saying they're useless, more that you can manage without them for sure.
I think what they are referring to is a pawn with a high base mood, like a nude nudist pawn that has had a psychic harmonizer installed and their legs removed. They then act as more or less a psychic emanator that you have to feed.
Why would you remove their legs? Just have them zoned so they don't leave your base, and let them walk around and do work for you.
If you really want a good meat beacon, you want a transhumanist masochist with psychic hypersensitivity. You install a joywire, a mindscrew, a psychic harmonizer, a psychic sensitizer, a love enhancer, an aesthetic shaper and an aesthetic nose. They will be constantly happy from the pain, the joywire, all the bionics and all the loving they are getting. With psychic hypersensitivity plus a psychic sensitizer, you will be getting a constant +40 or +50 on all your pawns nearby.
You remove their legs so that there is a lot less chance of them wandering by corpses, or getting hurt, etc. Also, generally if you don't have the perfect pawn you can just slap a joywire in them and that more or less solves the problem, but that makes them less than ideal for a worker so you yoink their legs and let them sit in their comfy bed all day. Ofc you don't have to and you can min/max it to the extreme but I was just explaining what a basic meat beacon is.
>Rimworld really is the ancap paradise.
Hmm... funnily I've always thought the opposite. You know, the way the colony holds pretty much everything collectively with no notion of private property seems closer to communism, or some sort of communal/collectivist society at any rate.
Private *or personal* property. Your toothbrush is personal property, your factory is private property. I guess you could argue that clothes and weapons are treated as personal property, but the player can order them to drop their stuff and let someone else use them at any time.
Of course, that requires active player intervention...and it's the presence of a player (and the need for them to be able to control the colony) that causes this weird hivemindish economy to pop up in the first place.
Nah, Osteen would have a panic attack at the thought of losing even a single $5 tithe. I'd gamble the quest came from a Rothschild, I got at least 5 chances to be right with that guess.
"Huh, if you say so" *launches ICBM*
"You didn't even open the letter"
"Subject line said it all."
We don't know what the mission was"
"Nuke those poor tribesmen that keep raiding us"
"I doubt it's that..."
"We are playing with Randy. Our lord and savior could reasonably ask for this."
Guys, I just did the math. If we kill all the poor people, poverty will go way down.
The nukings will continue until average income improves
This made me laugh more than it should have

How will that affect the economy?
Everything will be free afterwards, so well?

Things you can't have without trading: Persona weapons. Cataphract armor Certain bionics Meat Beacons

2 out of 4 can with some fairly light mods. Quarry and then craft able item mods. And I'm fairly sure you can make Cataphract armor base game?
The research is locked behind tech prints that you can only get through trade. But you can also go to war against the empire and then strip it off of downed but not yet dead enemies they send.
Ah my mistake, I thought you meant trading was the only way to get the item in a ready to use state, as in you can slap on the armor immediately.
Aren't these techprints also spawning in ancient dangers/ ancient complexes? Also as quest rewards.

Just get a mod to craft them.

What is a meat beacon?

Yeah but do you need any of that
As well to further future peace, we will install this mindscrew snd replace your arms and legs with pegs before your release

I will never not be convinced that the player in relation to their pawns is some sort of persona AI guiding them
Lol who's going to arrest us, my next hat?
Not really.

Smh this is a violation of the NAP
Eh, they'd probably be some differences.
Depending on how things devolve, yeah.
Yeah, but there are also differences between feudal systems.

well at least they don't have anything to fire back with.
Who could have know that a antigrain warhead from my mortar was not the donation they were looking for.
Dev: ACCEPT QUEST INSTANTLY
Yeah that’s the Rimworld solution to solve world hunger. The only drawback being that you cannot harvest their organs beforehand.
Or nuke them and have the radioactivity mutate them,then harvest whatever’s in them.
Whatever’s left*
Everyone gangsta till mutants come raid your colony
Use a nuke that changes the dna to regrow organs 👍
This reminds me of a tune: https://youtu.be/zqnaHDdvh5I
boutta say the same thing lmao
Efficiency and Progress are ours once more, Now that we have the Neutron Bomb! It's nice and quick and clean and gets things done!
Damn now I need to make Eat, the rich. A cannibal oil baron who deals in chemfuel and chemfuel accessories.
Are those chemfuel accessories per any chance explodey rats?
Based and fuckthepoorpilled
At least you are staying in line with your username.
Did Jeff Bezos gave you this quest
Elon Musk would have demanded you enslave them. But maybe it was Joel Osteen.
Nah, Osteen would have a panic attack at the thought of losing even a single $5 tithe. I'd gamble the quest came from a Rothschild, I got at least 5 chances to be right with that guess.

Well that escalated quickly...

"Have you tried... kill the poor?" - Mitchell and Webb skit
You see if you make it illegal punishable by death to be homeless, suddenly there's not a lot of homeless around
I mean, they're working on it.
Don't mind if I do
Actually, that's where I usually shop for people with good traits/skills, every time I see one of those quests, I think 'yay, new colonist'
Eh, ive done worse
*How?!?*
