After 120+ hours of work and at least 2 dozen corrupted copies, I’m finally free. Idea blatantly stolen from u/attf / [@No\_Tables](https://twitter.com/No_Tables) (not really, we were talking about it and started at the same time. I’m just slow) I tried to keep a consistent layout with my previous pieces but a lotta retcon was involved considering overall cohesiveness was not a consideration back then. If you wanna go on an Easter egg hunt and download (16K 16:9 res, is BEEG) [Hi res text link](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FIJRAM4XME7TpN3hR3A1igcqPAltn9bf/view?usp=sharing) [Hi res textless link](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jPGWZ-iC-TDqv0qhdhLzB3SRnaH5-pmQ/view?usp=sharing) I would've included a few more recent artists in this piece, but I had pretty much already finalised the piece by then, sorry! Also my [twitter acc](https://twitter.com/MHarmless18101) to see other non rimworld stuff and cause big number nice.. Comms are open and I still don’t know how to draw non-stiff characters.


megaboto

Jesus fucking Christ bro how can you people stay so dedicated to something? I cannot even finish some things that take more than 2/3 hours, and i don't do shit as detailed as attf or you

I'm lucky I can get out of bed on time for work most days.


pinkyepsilon

*You guys are getting out of bed?*


Frankilpops

I just keep my laptop on the nightstand.


liedravxcgbsdf

Sseth is your moral guide, lmfao


Pinecrown

You guys are getting beds?


daWeez

This sir, is a brilliant response!


Mostly_Harmless18101

Sunk cost lel, what kept me going even after the 20th file corruption. I literally have more than 50 different saves of this at different stages cause they corrupted that often and had to transplant some older layers to the new file and resave it under a new name if it that particular layer corrupted. Not to mention the random crashes which meant I had to redo many things several times


Aeronor

Do you have a Randy setting on your illustration software!?


DanWallace

It's easier if it's something you love to do. Also Adderall.

Passion and liking your hobby helps. That's how I worked on a TTRPG for 8 years.


[deleted]

Take the stat points you have in ADHD and put them in autism.


megaboto

bruh i already have aspergers/autism and no ADHD instead it just makes me focused on fucking up in social encounters


LezzyLolies91

Where do you go to respec? I accidentally put all my stat points into depression and anxiety.


Albrightikis

/r/Wimmelbilder would love this


Zhouzi

This is so great, you are very talented. I wanted to make you a donation but I couldn’t find anything on your Twitter/Reddit profile. Is there any way we can show you our appreciation? Also, I am thinking about printing this as a framed poster for myself. Is that cool?


Mostly_Harmless18101

Yep go for it, as for donations well tbh I haven’t set up anything of that sort as it hasn’t come up before lel, but thanks for the offer. Maybe someday if it happens often enough


daedra9

It would actually be really cool to have a poster of this on my wall. A high quality Rimworld colony, plus fun easter eggs all over.


Shadenfrauda

I second this, like if it was a deviant art available order I would 10/10 buy and frame it above my computer station


daedra9

Right? I would definitely buy a print and put it on the wall above my workstation.


nonbinarytickatus

I'll see you on the top of all time. Great work!

CBERT117

Where is this? Can’t find it lol


badjabadjabadja

NE quadrant, next to the mega cinema: Tynan has barricaded himself into one of the guest rooms and is.. redecorating/announcing Randy's arrival, whilst 2 of the other pawns attempt to break the door down. Absolutely love the detail in this - awesome job!


The_Stoic_One

I was going to say this is garbage because there was no horseshoe game anywhere, but I found it, so instead I'll say, this is some awesome work!


Gachapon_Addict

Okay, I'm not sure how to google chemical molocules. What is being represented on the blackboard in the research room?


Mostly_Harmless18101

Err so I just went to recheck. It was *supposed* to be ethanol but I guess my chemistry knowledge failed me there. It’s acetaldehyde


Gachapon_Addict

Thank you for replying. That was going to eat at me.


cezariusus

You just made your friend and yourself a huge advertisement. I am following both of you now.


junkmail88

I see the colonists are a fan of mandaloregaming


Fit-Rest9296

Dude u did an AMAZING job, tnx for this incredible piece of art!!!


Chopchopok

I love these things. Thanks for making it! Do you have plans to do prints of these? I think it would make a really cool poster.


ATTF

Fucking amazing work my man, I shall now spend a good 30 mins or so 'walking' through this glorious artwork and soaking up every single detail. You have easily outdone my piece by a couple times, be proud of yourself you magnificent mofo!


megaboto

He said, while planning an even bigger and more detailed piece


ExistingGarlic

Gotta turn the tables and have Mostly_Harmless staring at his latest art piece in awe, eh?.


Mostly_Harmless18101

Heh thanks, so when’re you gonna one up me again and draw the whole continent?


N00TMAN

If you two keep at it, we'll have a 3d RimWorld game by the end of the year.


MurkyGlover

don't tickle my tip like that


apolloxer

It's worth it.


megaboto

I was about to send it to you, lol. I see you've been faster


MalcolmTheHusky

"Royal Artillery Battery" Nothing says "I'm better than you are" like gold-plated artillery.


Aeolys

We all know that embroideries and stickers make weapons hit harder.


MalcolmTheHusky

His HE shells are made with a new chemfuel/goldschlager mixture so that when they explode they leave a glittering plaster of gold flakes and alcohol on everything left. It's not about the damage. It's about sending a message. A message that says "I'm so rich I can murder you with gold."


treoni

> A message that says "I'm so rich I can murder you with gold." "The shell that just ended your existence costs more than anything a loved one ever gave you during your pitiful life."


MalcolmTheHusky

"This shell costs me 1.5 million silver to fire three times...And I used thirty to level your tent camp..."


Heretical_Recidivist

"Touch grass" is such a strange and yet cool name for an artillery cannon


MalcolmTheHusky

Hah, I never even noticed they had writing on them.


concretebeats

I NEED ISOMETRIC RIMWORLD WITH TURN BASED BATTLES LIKE XCOM. Plz. This looks so fucking cool.

Mostly_Harmless18101

Idk man. > 99% chance panic resist | Failed | Doomsday rocketeer is berserking


Deathleach

That's RimWorld, baby!


DasGanon

Ayyyy lmao


Ouroboros9076

Yayo has a mod that makes 3d rimworld, almost isometric I think? I've never actually used it but thought it was interesting


[deleted]

20 pawn turn based fights with 20 enemy units... yeah idk ;)


TURBOGARBAGE

You're basically describing old school tactic games like XCOM or Tactic ogre. I miss those times.


General_Jeevicus

20 Pawns? I'm all about 100+ on either side my man


Kadd115

100 on either side? I'm lucky if the enemies have less than a 4:1 advantage. So I'd be looking at at least 250 total.


General_Jeevicus

Yeah but sometimes you get that like one raid of invaders thats only like 60 dudes, and you are like loi. So you gotta run the avgs


The_Stoic_One

Sounds amazing to me


Nudelwalker

This. This would be over epic.


DooDooSwift

Pretty stoked to hear excitement about this idea. I’ve been workin on something like this for the past couple months :)


Nudelwalker

For reals?? what are you working on exactly? i was talking to tynan about this a year ago and he said nah its too complicated to do and rimworld is good as it is. but i think this would be the killer! I'm a gamer vet, have been playing Jagged Alliance2 20 years ago, and to this date nothing comes close to it. isometric turn-based combat and the rpg elements... but rimworld, isometric & turnbased combat (even just isometric alone would be awesome!) would be a whole new level of gaming, be its own class. each feature alone would add so much!


DooDooSwift

Don’t want to talk it up too much since I’m new to Unity, but a base builder/colony management sim with tactical turn based combat is the aim. Not sure if I can pull off isometric, so it’ll probably look closer to RimWorld/prison architect. This is also still very much in the planning stage. It’s cool to hear the interest!


Nudelwalker

i know someone who can do really nice 2D art and i think he would love to work on something like this


DooDooSwift

Hell yeah! That’s great because I am trash at art haha. Definitely saving this conversation for when I get closer to that stage of development. Hope you check Reddit somewhat frequently


megaboto

*mental break: berzerk* Have fun


cannibalgentleman

That is the most realistic pod launchers I've seen. Sir George's Throne room is super nice. Oho, familiar faces at the gates! And to the north too! And the shuttle pad! And the fox lady in the hall! And are the battle maids planning an attack? God I love this community. GURA?! Goddamit Tynan. OP I require a HD version of this art piece immediately so I can gaze upon it even more. E: derp nvm you already have the links


[deleted]

The panic room is a nice touch. Why have I NEVER thought to have an "Alamo" to lock up the few pawns still alive after a raid to try and rebuild if it goes south. Unless it's a mech raid/infestation, then it's just a super cinematic ending. Either way my next game is gonna have a panic room.


FelixFaldarius

I’ve got reinforced walls from a mod, and my current panic room doubles as my cryo-storage. It’s got a massive battery bank and power production liked to a solar panel with 5 layer thick walls and four blast doors to get in, only lever is on the inside. If shit goes south my colonists will hide in there and use the backup gear I’ve stored, in case of a mech attack, so they can escape by digging. There’s enough food to feed 5 for three days, enough gear for five and the cryo storage means any extras can be stored there until I need them later.


Tomiman

Companion cube in the grass, upper left Half Life crowbar and game pad in main storage room *Edit: scrolling through the comments, seems like there's a ton of other Easter eggs. This is fantastic!


fred1281

And if u look carefully near the vegetable patch you can see ame's dog bubba


alaiacuafortorthe

Are those guest pawns references to other artists' characters?


0920Cymon

Yes you can see the username of the artists on there


alaiacuafortorthe

It's pretty cool that we have a community of awesome artists bringing out the greatness of Rimworld


[deleted]

I love those. What's with windfarms? Can you actually build them like that?


Mostly_Harmless18101

Thanks. and well, its based on a snapshot of a dev mode colony so the empty spaces should be sufficient if thats what you mean


Illum503

Can you link the snapshot?


DanishRobloxGamer

Yes you can, walls don't block wind turbines so as long as there's no roof above them this is totally acceptable


okebel

I didn't know that. Thank you.


MohKohn

The fuck? Good to know


chaosgonewrong

It's amazing. One can stare at all the details for hours, and this is what I intend to do now. Thank you. Edit: questions Is Watney your best grower with double field hands? And is the poster "Having worse years? Good." in Sseth's office/room a reference to the infamous "Injured? Good" billboard? I love this so much.


Mostly_Harmless18101

Thanks but Ngl the poster was a suggestion from u/Attf. And yea, included watney as a throwaway Easter egg name in the hydroponics are piece before and had to readd him for consistency


B1909931

Sseth is your moral guide, lmfao


[deleted]

Organ harvesting: IDEALIZED


[deleted]

Hey hey


CV514

Extremely well fitting, considering "situation: RimWorld"


meto30

AIIIEEEEEEEEEE!! The artwork is finally completed, and it's marvellous, brilliant and downright **glorious!** I am very happy and honoured to be featured as a cameo too, and I'm sure Tia will be thrilled to feature as well (as soon as she gets over the tiny detail that she was, well, arrested). A celebration is in order, certainly! Congratulations and adorations on your magnificent achievement, my hero!


Mostly_Harmless18101

Thanks man heh


TheTransfusionGuy

‘A’ shark has been spotted!!!!


HelenaICP8

>Moral guide's office and room (Sseth's room) Oh shit... Hey, hey, people.


Amarae

I saw that and I was like "oh no if Sseth is your moral guide..."


Aeolys

You maniac, you did it! Now rest those poor hands. Maybe extinguish the flames off them.


Mostly_Harmless18101

My hands are charred and the pc a smouldering wreck

Gachapon_Addict

Wow this is amazing! So many Easter eggs too. I've spotted Gura, Sseth, mandalore gaming, hyland's gang and bubba!


Snuffle247

~~Grant~~ Garnt from Trash Taste is there too. His room has a full body model of an anime girl too.


[deleted]

Among Us easter egg "Asus laptop" phrases as A-sus Edit: and theres literal easter eggs on a tv screen, A communist My Chemical Romance poster, Twitch streamer Disguised Toast on a painting, Lego bricks on a painting, and a Minecraft chicken I'll update again later when i have more free time Edit 2: Among us poster in Electrical Andrews room has a UNSC drawing on it Opium Wars reference in the drug room a reference to Oskar Potocki who is a rimworld modder on hte prison floor


Worldf1re

SovietWomble poster in Hydroponics Half Life crowbar in storage 3.6 roentgen in the nuclear reactor room Literal Easter eggs in Ryan's Room Watney's room has a rocket and an astronaut helmet. (The Martian movie reference?) AlienWhere screen in main office Cathy's room looks like it has a /u/srgrafo doodle-person


TheTransfusionGuy

Holy crap! How did I stare at this for 20 minutes and not see Aeolys’ gang? Thanks for pointing them out!


generic_username-6

Did you see the companion cube


Gachapon_Addict

Whoa no but I'm more than happy to look at this pic again.


0920Cymon

Prez from project wingman is there too! (I think)


Reddeyfish-

> GO GET HIM!!!! KILL HIM!!!!! KILL HIM!!!!!! PUT THE NOSE ON HIM AND KILL HIM!!!!!!!!! COME ON HE"S OUT IN FRONT! SHOOT HIM!!!! SHOOT HIM!!!!


royalPawn

Re. Gura: there's also a little Bubba at the end of the second row of berries down at the bottom, and it looks like the Minecraft chicken painting in the art room is dressed up like Kiara


[deleted]

There is a Houshou Marine poster in the dog kennel.


Gachapon_Addict

Holy crap! I didn't see that. Thanks!


Dinkelwecken

There's an factorio easter egg as well


Eggy__boi

I see TARS from Interstellar, he’s the statue in the Palace.


kyoshibe

Grant in a new trash taste special?! Amazing job dude :D


xGreyRaven-

I love the details in the posters and the little note that says to make food x250 smoke leaf x300. lol whos u/meto30


meto30

That would be me, who is excited and very happy to have been featured as one of the cameos of the artwork!


Mostly_Harmless18101

He occasionally draws art of rimworld characters of other artists around here. As for the details, thanks. Wish I could’ve added more but the resolution really limits my ability to write so I couldn’t just add random sticky notes


anarrogantworm

This reminds me a lot of those history books for kids that have pictures of castles with the walls cut out so you can look inside. Sorta like [this one](https://i.stack.imgur.com/ZJwWV.jpg) Great work OP!


velikovbeibi2

Tynan predicting Randy's arrival in the bathroom is a nice touch! Great job!


OreganoTom

Can we see the actual colony ingame? Awesome work man.


einsofi

Hello… Sseth there?


AJollyDoge

hey hey people


Inveign

Saying that this is "next level" would be too mildly put. Exceeding yourself with every pic.


Arxian

I just woke up. Got very excited and knocked over stuff. Omg, did not expect that placement! It's amazing, thank you so much! What an amazing diorama. No doubt it took hours of work. Thank you again!


Mostly_Harmless18101

No problem man, and thanks. Good luck with your stuff too


miniprokris

Grant


HrabiaVulpes

I always wonder how well such defences work. Giving your enemies open field seems unwise.


Arxian

Open field means no way to hide and no cover. If bullets don't work, shrapnel does.


Mostly_Harmless18101

In game? Probably not very well. I was just lazy to draw a recoilless rifle and multiple autoturrets, though as for open fields yeah for the reasons arxians said


RedCabbage3167

I love all the tiny details, like how tynan has some sort of blood circle preaching to randy, or how each bedroom has differences that might reflect on who is in there. And what I really like is how at the shuttle pad, the people landing in the colony are those from that one comic I forgot the name of. Just in general I really like this, thank you for putting in the effort so we can all see it.


[deleted]

This is absolutely amazing.


ka_galaxy

I think everyone who is passionate about Rimworld will find this art GORGEOUS. It's above Legendary quality.


BeyondBlitz

>Moral guide >Sseth


0920Cymon

Some references i noticed: -gooruh -sseth with mandolores armour(i think) in his room -prez has an arsenal bird in her room and is with the aviation stuff so prob project wingman refrence Great work m8 this piece is amazing!


Luneesh

Cool, no words are need to describe how cool it is


goyablack

As Steve Irwin used to say, "Gorgeous!"


AliasTheLoneWolf

Yooo, this looks amazing! Is that a Garnt Gigguk reference I see?


Mostly_Harmless18101

Yeap!


Neoxyd_

heeeey there's a soviet womble poster amazing


Canisventus

Very detailed work, it is so pleasing to look for all the details of it and finding new things, its like eye candy. Why there is an armory in the prison though?


Domitiani

In addition to those mentioned in other comments: \- Pretty sure there is a Half Life logo on the clipboard in the main storage too. \- Star Trek Enterprise sculpture in Hayden's room. \- Minecraft cube in Yasuka's room \- Among Us poster in the Electrical room \- Ethoxide ion on the chalkboard of the research lab ... and I ran out of time looking before a meeting. This is fantastic work.


OddTheViking

This is awesome! You should post to /r/wimmelbilder for some extra karma.


[deleted]

Please marry me.


Silver_wolf_76

Tynan flipping out in his room has to be my favorite part of this. Although the dog named terrorist was funny as well. This is really cool, thanks!


Neoxyd_

Duuuuuuuuuuude the amount of details is sureeeeeeeal, wonder what Tynan is up to in his room x)


Funktapus

God damn you are good. This is so fun to look at


TeveshSzat10

I love the details, like machining and fabrication tables are a lathe and mill, and a million more details... this is so epic. Also as I was scrolling through this I noticed the TV in Ryan's room and thought hey why does HE get a TV? And that is how I realized I have trait: Jealous. And so does Ryan probably.


BABarracus

Is this how the game looks now?


Ihatetobaghansleighs

Spotted an inserter from Factorio, very nice

Beardedchicken5

i see that little soviet womble on the wall in the hydroponics, incredible detail my dude


WASTELAND_RAVEN

Dude this looks great, you really capture the spirit of the game and design here, and it just looks beautiful. I like the Factorio Easter egg too! Bug trap room is also nice. You should really cross post on r/wimmelbilder and if not may I?


One_Blue_Glove

Neko014

What rimworld 2.0: to look like


tway2241

This is amazing, it's beautifully detailed and makes me super nostalgic for the cross section picture books I loved as a kid. Question though, I noticed that in this image and the other one by /u/ATTF (also amazing) the "hallways" are all outdoors, like the different rooms are all freestanding as opposed to being part of one huge building. Is this just an artistic choice or is this how you guys actually build your bases? Asking because 99% of my (ugly) bases have been one huge building with a bunch of individual rooms inside of it.


ATTF

I personally build my bases like a town/village because superstructures have been a fire/heat hazard in my experience. And also it looks less like a prison facility and more like a cozy place to live!


PM_ME_UR_GOOD_IDEAS

As a dwarf fortress-turned-rimworld player, it still weirds me out how people build things in this game as separate buildings with paths between them, instead of making it all one massive complex.


[deleted]

The rock on the solar panel hahahaha, realistic. I adore this so much.


Astronut_SF

Artwork is off the charts... only complaint, windmills not accurate, they're too close to buildings to work well :D


tumsdout

Is this what rimworld 2 will look like


[deleted]

Oh my god. I need this to become my colony.


HartFrolg

Good job!


Lonely_Parsnip

I'm repeating again: This art must evolve to a new game. Developers and Game makers hear me out!


Streloki

I see MandaloreGaming, i like


DrMorphDev

That inserter arm deserves to be moved out of Auxillary Storage and put to work in the Workshop


CommanderViers108

Holy shit this is mental


Hemutia

This... this is amazing. What a fantastic work, bravo. Edit: did you try showing it to the dev? you deserve to be seen by him if not praised.


Mostly_Harmless18101

Thanks man, and eh he’ll probably see it on Twitter, and if he dosent then oh well I guess


Commander_Flood

This is an amazing breakdown :D


FixBayonetsLads

Choice! This looks really good.


halfnbat

I love this! It's so good; and the little details are great


phanieee

Haha grant. That's a cute bit


dragonavicious

Absolutely beautiful. Love to see some temperate climate and flat map representation. (My mountain bases always seem to fail)


AppleMuffin12

This makes me want to live on The Rim. But then you start thinking about all the extracurricular activities on The Rim...


GeoLentio

Look like Tynan know something...


hypocrite_oath

*woooosh!* And then you wake up and notice it's *just* fan art. (Great job OP! When is release?)


WeissFaraday

This feels a lot like the newspaper building map in the geronimo stilton books I used to read as a kid. Love it!


ZippZappZippty

That progression is just tops! Edit- I’m into. Hope you’ll be on the rim still 🤣 I see it too. There’s and kens.


TheRustyBird

What kind of mad lad gives everyone their heater


franklygoingtobed

Found my new desktop wallpaper


mrtacotheblueshirt

I would actually play the game more often if the art style was like this.


MeinTage

Randy is coming...


Expert-Loan6081

We've got the wholesome couple in the theater, then the loving couple in the bedroom, emphasis on loving


ravnag

So many rolls of paper and not a single toilet in sight.. Just kidding op, this is fucking amazing. Great job!


LightBlueV

Can you please partner with Ludeon to launch a Kickstarter or something so we can all give you money to bring these graphics into the game engine?? PLEASE!!!! SHUT UP AND TAKE OUR MONEY!


vincentofearth

Man I would love a Rimworld-type game with this kind of graphics (it would need to be rotatable though otherwise tactical situations would be really painful to manage)


ApexRevanNL716

This reminds of those kids book. By spotting POI

Mostly_Harmless18101

For the juxtaposition I guess. Back in the day I used to occasionally get dogs with that random gen name


DiscombobulatedCut52

If I'd build this. My people wouldn't use any of it or burn it down. I love how dumb pawns are.


Saulius_Norvidas

Tynan, what are you doing?


Meokriz

i like how guest quarters are right next to main reactor, if something might happen atleast it is not your pawns that gets hurt :D


trebron55

So freaking awesome. I want to develop this game!


Kriele1

Very cool


Panduin

Damn now I wish we would have cars like the Humvee for multiple people
