The Staff of Sin - Rimworld Biotech Ep. 15 [Rimworld Tropical Rainforest Randy 500%]

I will say, with a lot of men this time, Male supremacy kinda makes sense as the believers might have tried to overcorrect themselves from the previous cult of jingz, not a lot of gameplay changes, but maybe a lot of shifts in dynamics and how things are run can be interesting from a role-play perspective, opening up a opportunity for the third transhumanist ideology to see above the squabble of it all and beyond these mortal constrictions

Don't forget that the Simple and Flak Helmet leaves the face (eyes, nose, jaw) entirely uncovered. So a lucky shot can miss the armor entirely, going straight through the eye and into the brain.
For that reason I tend to stick with Warmasks, until I have full face covering helmets again. But then of course a random headshot can be interesting storytelling.
- release the prisioner
- I agree leaving transhumanist for the next makes sense. Maybe add Nudist, because they can get armor from the implants and genemods?
Bloodletting might fit here. Something the Vampire Cat dragged in?
- For the next colony in the story, how about "Children of Sin/Pain"? A new colony made up (mostly) of the children and new recruits from this colony. Maybe one old one for continuity. But that is something the children could already carry in their DNA.

Ellie dragging the Rhino was perfect. Rimworld makes no damn sense, sometimes lol

Your colony's called Red Chapel and it has sanguophages living in it. To be honest, not adding the bloodfeeder meme would feel like a huge missed opportunity.

Light: The OP space wizard!

Let Roman go in the hopes that he spreads the beliefs of the Believers of Boyo - he doesn't seem to bring much to the colony.

Vegan vampires

elpis and ellie i like that! :D

Whenever I get an creativity inspiration I can't make good use of I order the pawn to make a sculpture and however it turns out install it in their own bedroom. Even if it's not great I like to think they'd still be proud of it.

I think Bloodfeeding makes sense, with Light who aquired the Staff of Sin being a sanguaphage. The community must penatiently offer them blood, the sanguaphages must penitently avoid the sun, so I think it fits thematically. Also the proximity of the reform and Vullek converting suggests that maybe he influenced things a bit.

For some dark horse options (so to speak), how about Rancher / Animal Personhood? While they're opposite ideas, the colony already makes heavy use of animals and they're well-regarded and well cared for, and both could be fit into their current ideology. They would both present obvious challenges - like rancher making the mushroom farming a problem, unless they can be turned unto animal food, and animal personhood making hunting for meat into a problem instead - but neither of them are insurmountable issues.

If you want to go with something other than Bloodfeeding, Rancher is a perennial possibility. But, of course, if this is your only sanguophage playthrough for the foreseeable, probably better to go with it instead.
The "LMG is too big for a child, SMG is more fitting" was a perfectly quotable line. Also I noticed Dmitry carving/painting his waifu on the masterwork bed he made, just read that description again.

proselityzing would indeed be hardly noticeable in your colony because most of your people already believe in boyo's religion
it is highly impactful in colonies that grew faster than expected cause its likely that the recruits arent from the same ideology

you should do bloodfeeder btw

Honestly, I think bloodfeeding could be super cool. Instead of having prisoners repent for their sins by slavery, you feed on them for x days. And the hemogen you get from that you vouch to use for healing purposes only (no spikes, and coagulate every downed friendly you see on the map).

Alternatively, you could go for flesh purity. Seeing as vampires dont really need bionics in order to stay scarless it wouldnt be as big of an impact as normally, and it would offer a nice way to "separate" the colony for the final chapter where you said you intend to go transhumanist

I rly don´t like the prisoner, he has shooting, i give him that but he got slow learner as well ...its the worst of all trades u can get, you give him wooden legs, then remove the legs and use him as a blood farm

Go with the blood feeding meme. Maybe the time in the cave has skewed their perspective on healing and the ideology is starting to go off the rails a bit! :D

Couldn't you write lieutenant as Lt.?

Light is a space Wizard....and we all know "Wizards never die"

Maybe proseltyser meme and that mod that lets you change the enemy ideology after several freed members come back

"Raider" will change your gameplay and you can have the role playing justification of your colonists needing to show "bad people" the error of their ways, which will further complicated your gameplay by reducing the number of possible targets, and I think that's what you are looking for.

Animal Personhood!

Es wäre cool wenn du irgendwann noch einen Rimworld of Magic Spieldurchlauf machst.

Diese Folge war wirklich gut!

I bid you only thanks & cheers, for years of entertainment & pleasant company.
But I think I may be done here.
You've threatened a run at BG3, which seems to me near the endless drudgery of Mass Effect all over again. I mean NO disparagement in this, and wish you only well - with ten times the keen subscribers you once had, you'll be fine(!)
Like my ex said (often) "sometimes people just grow apart" - and while you produce only solid videos, I've come to find more fun elsewhere.
I know I am only one puny subscriber - and you probably wouldn't notice - but I thought I should say why I'm "unsubscribing"... it's not you, it's me. All the same... Cheers

Maniac has lived an insane and tragic life. This series is so good!

Okay, hot take here. Animal Personhood for next meme. Animals have been absolutely integral for these colonists, both the Believers of Boyo as well as the Cult of Jingz. It would also add challenge on top of thematic progression

I say have him repent as a slave for a while and then release him.

Ah yes, the SMG. Weapon of choice for kids aged 6-10.

25 years old nervous ugly bisexual drifter... damn, you got me in the game?

Human Primacy !!

Well done!

Maybe Kevin was divinely inspired by sheep wool crashing down from the heavens shortly before the baby was born, so he (tries) to make some clothes for the future child. Also while adjusting the precept for child labor may not make any big changes, I think it would add some flavor.

I'd really like to see an alternative to Bloodfeeding; I just don't think it fits the theme. The required precepts mostly make the game "easier" rather than more interesting (unless you go all the way to cannibalism preferred or execution required, which again doesn't fit.)
Of the memes that have nontrivial gameplay impact, I might recommend High life. Required drug use is a double-edged sword, we could see some interesting adaptations to the colony to cultivate a variety of drugs, autobong, etc.
From a "theme" perspective it might require a little creativity, but I like the idea that altered states of mind are part of a required personal/spiritual journey that inspire growth and help Believers tap into a higher state than their own flawed/sinful bodies & surroundings.
Loving the series <3

"Ellie, put that gun down immediately! Here is one that fits you more."

Imagine ambushing a superpowered psychopath with a poor quality short bow 😂

I'm trying my first game as a roaming caravan. The Minify mod and Vanilla Expanded Ideology (using Caravan meme) mod are a nice help. I'm actually going to travel to that Ship to the Stars for the first time. It's a very different play style than all my other runs eventually meld into.

"Nervous ugly bisexual drifter"
Same

If you want to use Lieutenant you could write it using the abbreviation Lt.

>hears Pete list Omar Wolfes traits
"Me too, buddy, me too."

Between this series and Xcom, I have been watching episodes nonstop. Been enjoying both of them very much

This is my favourite sitcom

We demand more baldur’s gate pete!

Another great installment Pete! Here are my thoughts on the questions:

- I agree that recruiting efforts should focus only on important pawns (eg. family of current colonists). Everyone else should either be released after conversion, or serve as a "slave" (repentant servant) and be released once their penance is done.

- Unfortunately I don't know about the next meme. Bloodfeeding seems thematically appropriate, but I don't think the Believers of Boyo would be so easily convinced by Vullek to treat sanguophages as "exalted beings" deserving worship. Perhaps Vullek's influence has lead the Believers to think of sanguophages in a more positive light, and maybe they believe becoming a sanguophage is an honorable goal, but I can't see the other chages, with "organ use" and "cannibalism" being changed to acceptable or preferred, as reasonable. If these changes are disabled, then it feels like the bloodfeeding meme is not very impactful, which you said you wanted to avoid. Unfortunately, I don't currently have any ideas for better options. If I find anything, I'll add another comment.

- Somebody in the comments said that the useless creative inspirations should be used to create sculptures because even if the sculpture is bad, we still get a story-driven development, which I agree is worth it.

Edit: hit post before I finished writing

I used to use "construction" inspirations on a jade pool table. Gets the recreation need down FAST, improving the shooting skill, while raising the value of the common room resulting in a mood bonus. Best thing is that it benefits everyone, unlike a bed.
Of course you still need recreation variety so they won't always use the pool table, and your common room might already be at max impressiveness so the added value has basically no benefit (except you can make some room by removing statues, put them into bedrooms/hospital if those aren't already at max impressiveness). Most importantly, nowadays the recreation need is often addressed by meditation, at least partially, so a bed for the most productive (or demanding) member of the colony is the next best thing.

gg

Collectivist would fit perfectly, the cult of boyo has not yet understood that they have gone from evil to even more evil with forcing repentence onto people that havent even done anything. There is no reason for the children to feel guilty for the "sins" of their parents and grandparents. Instead they should learn from the past and not repeat the bad.

The "phallic" building looks more like a Firefly spaceship to me, the spaceship in the show Firefly and the movie, Serenity.

wow Omar Wolfe is literally me
