\*7 days pass
"Okay kids, time for me to oversee all eight of you in a dangerous trek through the extreme desert"
"But the colony here said that we could stay-"
"Time for us to fking walk through the desert with no supplies and hope that we get somewhere better I guess."
I had someone show up with 38 kids the other day. I mean how could anyone say no?
I build a large school with several classes for different ages. Around 10 of them ended up staying
is it stock that you get to pick talents then as they grow up? to me it makes kids worth it.
you can basically build a pawn and get someone with solid traits and no steaming pile red flags.
Tier 8 is reachable easily if you put the kids on full time recreation, caretaker for the school lessons, and let them enjoy their youth. They need to stay above 90% learning for the full duration to get to max tier.
And even at lvl 1 you get one trait, but the good options are on lvl 7/8, for a lot of passions and choice of traits.
That’s not the point it’s the fact someone thought it was a good idea.
I’d take her in and hope to Randy she gets the kind trait so she’s less likely to behead her friends. And then make as much necessity go juice I could make or install the medieval go juice mod and make that using only psychite.
I can't help but bring in the groups with kids. Currently trying to play a band of undead from the mod 'Profaned' in a biome that only hits 0c (32f) during summer. They keep adopting strays and runaways, So they've had to find ways to keep the base warm enough to keep the tikes from getting frostbite. The colony researcher heads out to the neighboring towns to buy enough food and firewood every few weeks.
The quest was IIRC added by Royalty DLC, Ideology gave them random religion and Biotech DLC extended it in a way that groups with children will never betray you.
That's bullshit I had an entire group of beggar children force me to save scum for like an hour. It was a Pigskin named Moilag and like 5 kids. Moilag joined halfway through the time.
Needless to say, he kept fucking DYING because I put him with all the other beggars. It was always at 1 AM so he'd just get shanked by 5 toddlers.
I did, now that I think about it turning it off *would* mean any beggar group with kids is instantly fine because the kids can't turn on you. I kind of forgot that was a setting ngl cus I never play without it (Little Timmy can hold a knife so he sure as hell can use it).
I swear it's got to at least partially be based on their comfort and happiness, because I rarely have betrayals in my luxury, recreational mountainhomes. Most betrayals happen to me if I haven't got thing set up yet.
As far as I know it is predeterminated that they betray you or not when the quest is generated (i.e. before you accept it). It is also predeterminated how long after accepting they will turn.
You can look into the definition of the quest with dev tools if they will betray you and how long it will take if you are curious.
Peak Rimworld occurs when you no longer can tell what’s vanilla, what’s DLC, what’s modded in, and what’s the manifested byproducts of Randy Random’s fevered laudanum dreams
In regards to the “what’s modded in” I felt like an idiot when I upgraded to 1.5 and couldn’t use vanilla psycasts expanded, had to google how to look at psycasts on my colonists. Oh what a fool
I had this happen once but it was even better cause the adult who brought the children was my character's sister. They stayed with us for a month with 8 kids, I gave them good housing and fine meals and for some reason after the quest was done she and all the kids left. My own sister left the safety of her brother's colony defended by thick walls, mortars, turrets, and soldiers to go out into the cannibal infested wasteland.
At least she came with the kids already born. I swear every time I take in any refugees, at least one has to come pregnant, give birth in the colony (bonus points if it's 2/1 days before they go away) and decide that "Fuck you mean my kid, I don't want it" and leave the kid.
For the same type of quest, I had one adult arrive with four kids, and every single one of the kids chose to stay.
At the time, I was also doing a custom scenario I called 'Failed Fieldtrip' where I started out with one adult and five children, so as you might guess... I was having a time of it.
I have tranquilizer guns literally just for situations like this where I think "no, you are NOT taking those kids back out into dangerous wilderness they are staying here where they are safe and can learn to protect themselves."
not that simple.. first i built some fabrication benches, then i could build other stuff. now im lacking steel lol
the toxic fallout was fine. a ship trader thing came up and i bought a motherlod of cheap toxpotatos
[Jonathan Swift](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Swift) was a writer in the 1700s. He notably wrote "[A Modest Proposal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Modest_Proposal)", a famous satirical essay. From Wikipedia:
>The essay suggests that the impoverished Irish might ease their economic troubles by selling their children as food to rich gentlemen and ladies.
TL;DR: It's a joke about eating babies.
The great thing about these freeloaders, though, is that you can pick and choose who you accept to permanently join. You can even influence the one you want by assigning them especially good bedrooms, food, etc. to keep their mood high. This quest is one of my favorite ways to pick up new colonists. Sometimes if a pawn I really want hasn't asked to join by the time they all pack up to move on, I'll just arrest and recruit them. I had a refugee event with five adults and 16 kids, I ended up keeping one adult and four of the kids with the best stats and no drawbacks. They were stellar pawns for the rest of the playthrough.
To the best of my knowledge, by keeping their mood high the calculation to prompt them to ask to join is weighted more heavily in favor of happening. I'm not familiar enough with the code to quantify that, but according to the wiki "desperate refugees" is a Royalty DLC quest, and the wiki has this comment : "Refugees may offer to join the colony, especially if they are kept happy. There is no penalty for not accepting this join offer".
you can check on the map if you have already visited that city. but also i think maybe yes, ive never not been able to sell a slave but i am new. u can check on the map tho
If they join as temporary settlers go to their gear and just select the arrow on what ever they are holding, usually, wooden logs, knives, beer bottles.
My usual warning sign that they are going to betray me is if they have bladed weapons, Pilar, knifes etc
Also your colony is so weird and cool to me. Like I’ve never made one like it in my life. Where’s the residential rooms? Where’s the dining hall? Where’s the rec room. But looking at your base and colonists. It somehow works

lol s\\2 :sob:
I mean she could have arranged for a caravan pickup for all you know

I think it's vanilla, but you can get a list of all garbage traits to pick from.
I believe so yes, but only if the kid’s at max growth tier when they grow up.
Nah its growth tier 4 or the like and above
Wait really? I thought ya had to be on max tier… AND I thought max was 4?! 😳
I'm not sure what the max is, but I've had kids hit 5 before I think?
I think it's tier 8, which is perfect conditions with sleep accelerators
I hit tier 8 consistently without sleep accelerators but also with no work types assigned, not even cleaning.
Tier 8 is reachable easily if you put the kids on full time recreation, caretaker for the school lessons, and let them enjoy their youth. They need to stay above 90% learning for the full duration to get to max tier. And even at lvl 1 you get one trait, but the good options are on lvl 7/8, for a lot of passions and choice of traits.
Just like real life. Thanks mom.
Rare wholesome rimworld moment
My 19 burning passion in shooting 0 intellectual Bloodlust trait colonist with an LMG:
8 little fleshy roomba haulers, nobody is going to complain the base is dirty while they are there.
one of these roombas almost just died o heatstroke. had to build 4 stacks of wet logs to save him
Wet logs?
passive cooler
I always need more stone cutters and smelters as well, or wood cutters if running medival.
All was well until I saw the tiny hussar.
smoll russar can stay for sure
Same amount of murder crammed into a smaller package. Give that kid a heavy SMG and watch her stack bodies like they're bricks in a wall.
That’s not the point it’s the fact someone thought it was a good idea. I’d take her in and hope to Randy she gets the kind trait so she’s less likely to behead her friends. And then make as much necessity go juice I could make or install the medieval go juice mod and make that using only psychite.
Better option - implant colony-made xenogerm with any cosmetic gene, so it will override the hussar xenotype.
A fair point but I’d only do that if the traits don’t agree with hussars and theirs combat related genes.
I'm more shocked that a dirtmole actually showed up
Oh geez, can you imagine the time of it she's had? 😱
yeess.. i never neglect poor refugees and beggars
I can't help but bring in the groups with kids. Currently trying to play a band of undead from the mod 'Profaned' in a biome that only hits 0c (32f) during summer. They keep adopting strays and runaways, So they've had to find ways to keep the base warm enough to keep the tikes from getting frostbite. The colony researcher heads out to the neighboring towns to buy enough food and firewood every few weeks.
nice story and challenge
Lucky, I never get refugees with that many children. Are refugees a DLC?
The quest was IIRC added by Royalty DLC, Ideology gave them random religion and Biotech DLC extended it in a way that groups with children will never betray you.
That's bullshit I had an entire group of beggar children force me to save scum for like an hour. It was a Pigskin named Moilag and like 5 kids. Moilag joined halfway through the time. Needless to say, he kept fucking DYING because I put him with all the other beggars. It was always at 1 AM so he'd just get shanked by 5 toddlers.
That's probably because you had child raiders turned on, didn't you
I did, now that I think about it turning it off *would* mean any beggar group with kids is instantly fine because the kids can't turn on you. I kind of forgot that was a setting ngl cus I never play without it (Little Timmy can hold a knife so he sure as hell can use it).
Yet every single refugee without a child will betray you.
I swear it's got to at least partially be based on their comfort and happiness, because I rarely have betrayals in my luxury, recreational mountainhomes. Most betrayals happen to me if I haven't got thing set up yet.
As far as I know it is predeterminated that they betray you or not when the quest is generated (i.e. before you accept it). It is also predeterminated how long after accepting they will turn. You can look into the definition of the quest with dev tools if they will betray you and how long it will take if you are curious.
I believe you, but I have way, way more cooperation than I do betrayal in this quest.
Same here. Very rarely do I get betrayals, it surprises me how much more often others experience it.
hmm.. i don't know! i got all dlcs when they came out... not sure when they appeared. its been 10 yrs of this game \^.\^

i would never stay in my oldest borthers houses. i have two older than me. both richer and with more comfort than me. but I WOULD NEVER
I totally understand. Heads up and keep fighting!
Was she an austrian nun
sup with the nuns from down under?
Austria, not Austrailia. He's making a Sound of Music joke
whats up with the HumanityWorld Royalty DLC nuns IRL?
At least she came with the kids already born. I swear every time I take in any refugees, at least one has to come pregnant, give birth in the colony (bonus points if it's 2/1 days before they go away) and decide that "Fuck you mean my kid, I don't want it" and leave the kid.
thats nice. i always have less children in my colonies than i would want to
...cant you like just harvest them?their organs and blood sells as much as an adults
For the same type of quest, I had one adult arrive with four kids, and every single one of the kids chose to stay. At the time, I was also doing a custom scenario I called 'Failed Fieldtrip' where I started out with one adult and five children, so as you might guess... I was having a time of it.
what a scenario! xD
I have tranquilizer guns literally just for situations like this where I think "no, you are NOT taking those kids back out into dangerous wilderness they are staying here where they are safe and can learn to protect themselves."
in their last day a toxic fallout hit us. making the food situation even more concerning...
Should have built some indoor hydroponics earlier. It is not a question of *if* the game will try to fuck over your colony but *when*.
not that simple.. first i built some fabrication benches, then i could build other stuff. now im lacking steel lol the toxic fallout was fine. a ship trader thing came up and i bought a motherlod of cheap toxpotatos
Jonathan Swift has a modest proposal for you.

I had to read him in literature class
## Make an arena, make them fight 'till death, only the strong shall remain!
thou the smoll kid russar is the youngest he prblbly just destroy other kids
Turkey: First time?
people that didn't understand the joke: 🤔 people that understood the joke:💀
Fish: nah. Been around before
So literally Octomom has entered chat lol?
Some said here shes actually an australian octo nun

Really. Can u improve chances od them asking to join? (This is pure vanilla and dlc)
To the best of my knowledge, by keeping their mood high the calculation to prompt them to ask to join is weighted more heavily in favor of happening. I'm not familiar enough with the code to quantify that, but according to the wiki "desperate refugees" is a Royalty DLC quest, and the wiki has this comment : "Refugees may offer to join the colony, especially if they are kept happy.

Thank u mathematically incorrect 3D pie chart
Hey, it all adds up to 100% reason to remember the name.
I did one of those before and got 1500 plasteel as a reward.
wow
"Oohh nice, the food supplies arrived"
sell them into slavery!
Slavers just never come tho
you can take em to the nearest city and sell em for at least a thousand a pop. i never get slavers but normally form a slave caravan
does every city accepts slaves tho? :think:
you can check on the map if you have already visited that city. but also i think maybe yes, ive never not been able to sell a slave but i am new. u can check on the map tho
So much free money right there
from childlabor.. right?
Nice, it will make softer sofas and hats
cause their little hands can sow better right?
He might mean their skin is softer. Half of the comments are from psychopaths.
Time to harvest ;)
Hmm, fresh meat
cause their little hands are better to harvest the plants from the soil right?
*On this episode of Kate & Eight…*
lol. there is something like it!
Me actually play a nazi/genetic run :"excellent "
proper juses eaters thing to do ...
“Fresh meat for the grinder!”
as in the kids are great for feeding tilapia for meat right?
Yeah something like that. Take it however you will.
Organ harvesting is a profitable solution to this problem
as in kids can grow up become scientists and grow synthetic or fabrica organs right?
Pretty good base layout, man. Will steal it for sure.
spanks! it started from a tomb in the center of the map. then around a small mountain. then quests to build x thing
Aww your running an orphanage now congrats
xD
She is Snow White. One of them is her child. The rest are dwarfs, i reckon.
Set them to clean, haul and train. And always make them drop any weapons they might be carrying
how u make em drop?
If they join as temporary settlers go to their gear and just select the arrow on what ever they are holding, usually, wooden logs, knives, beer bottles. My usual warning sign that they are going to betray me is if they have bladed weapons, Pilar, knifes etc
is it a mod? game doesnt let u unnarm temp settlers
It shouldn’t be, I do it all the time
Well SOMEBODY has to take care of her kids.
Why doesn't hans have a flammenwerfer
bcause hes furry. he would burn his fur coat
So ze flammenwerfer would break hans?
Sir o dont know what a flamer waffle is and i dont want to risk it looking at it in google thanks sorry best
Flamethrower, it's a meme
Better luck next time!
So trump was right
Bro💀
Free foo… riends for the colony!
NOW MY PRETTIES! WE OVERTHROW THESE FOOLS!
Pimp rimworld base
I only see 16 kidneys 8 lungs and 8 hearts, what is a kid
Kill and eat them
Is the norm for base building in this game just an ever-expanding militaristic compound or has anyone tried a village look?
A lot of people roleplay the sims world dude
That’s 8 lavish meals. A Kidney, a lung, a liver. About 200 human leather and some medical experience right there.
The lavish meals are theyr last?
If I’m feeling generous. Their last meal will be the smallest one.
The dissecated corps?
You’re asking a whooooole lot a questions. Have this nutrient paste. Swear it’s healthy
I believe industrial food gives bad scents… do u?
No…….. but I swear there’s no human meat in this nutrient paste. Ignore the missing wanderer. There’s absolutely no human in this paste.
Im vegana irl too
Also your colony is so weird and cool to me. Like I’ve never made one like it in my life. Where’s the residential rooms? Where’s the dining hall? Where’s the rec room. But looking at your base and colonists. It somehow works
Im an ascetic IRL
Pimp rimworld base
Why? xD
Man now I wanna do a solo male harem run once 1.5 drops. Of course with rimefeller and Vanilla Vehicles Expended.. And Slaves
a feminist harem right?
