Fun things to do

What are some fun things to do in rimworld along side colony building?

[Kekmeister]

Try some of the fun-er advanced strats.
Go scarface, start an animal farm, make a gypsie community, make your own Militaires Sans Frontières, create some archotech abominations, make everyone your enemy, commit some warcrimes, start an organ harvesting business, become a slaver, abuse your prisoners both mentally and physically, abuse your colonists both mentally and physically, install some more mods, install the cursed mod, make a post on reddit, start a second colony alongside your first one for bonus balance, switch over to randy on merciless

There's lots to do. Be sure to launch a ship at some point, though. Finishing what you start is pretty important, or you'll burn out quickly.

I like creating a story, a reason for the crashlanding and for that especific group of people and skills. Are they the crew members of a starship? The captain would be more social, the engineer would have constructions skills, etc. Or are they a family that was immigrating to another planet? A group of people who were abducted against their will? A bunch of identical clones? A tribe of amazons? Why are they there and what do they want? These questions can change your play style completely.

What about playing with a group of technophobes? Why not create a huge prison with forced labor? A clinic for the psycologically insane? A research lab with cruel scientists looking for local subjects to experiment on?

Rimworld is a story builder, that's why we have story tellers in the game. Building different stories and going along with the events is half the fun.

current game is a couple cannibals, staring at about the equator, will grand plans to move to the north pole. they've had some help along the way, but they ultimately contributed their skin to construct a real nice tent. they enjoy each other's company, and wish to spend their days together, their bellies full of their enemies.

this game brings out your inner demons.

On a completely unrelated note... Did you know its a bad idea to swallow a pepsi while reading that statement.

Something about the crisp refreshing carbonated drink gushing out of my nose, it really woke me up.

i usually reenact doctor megele with testing things on any prisoners, followed by harvesting their organs, and forcing their enslaved relatives to wear their skin as cowboy/dusters. this game turns you into a monster dont it?

Husky caretakers. The noble Huskies must be allowed to mingle freely, and all Huskies (and cubs) must make it off the planet alive. Judicious use of anesthetic and cryptosleep caskets may be required to 'freeze' population growth while you finish researching the building the ship. Bonus points if none of the animals die of old age (due to speed of completion, or saving them via cryptosleep), and for every additional Husky-per-colonist you can manage. The higher the ratio the better.

There is a lot to do honestly. I'm thinking of various, stupid things to do in the game while smoking a joint. Most of the times I get all my colonists high on pot, while being high myself and then I'm trying to build something like a central park, or huge, huge garden with flowers, trees, bushes, so lately my colony looks more like botanical garden, than military base. I'm playing as Militaires Sans Frontières, so it's kinda funny to see 30 people, in full body armor, tactical equipment, "tacticool" weapons, wandering in the garden/park and smoking blunts.

Now I'm trying to build fighting arena like in Hunger Games and with the help of mods organise the hunger games for my prisoners, haven't succeeded yet tho.

One thing I did a couple of time that was quite interesting to do and try to complete is to flee your colony. At some point, when you are quite advanced, pack as much stuff as you can and just leave with your colonists/animals to settle elsewhere. It works well when you RP a bit or when you realise your colony is not as good as you thought and could fall at some point.

Make sure to keep a backup save so you don't loose your colony entirely.

Fun things to do? when ever you get a visitor or a raiding party, instead of trading or honorably fighting them man to man just use cheats! you would be surprised at how fun it is to set the raiders genitals on fire and watch them run around desperately looking for water to run into, or suture there eyes shut, or poison bite there eyeballs or explode there kidneys, or even set there brains on fire. or give them permanent heart burn etc. theirs a whole mess of options for you to choose to harm them in any which way you'd want.

You, sir or madam, should play Dwarf Fortress.
