I think it's more accurate to say you get 90% of the stuff you care about with royalty/biotech. It's mostly the new events, items and progression that matters. Stuff like the world gen is kinda meh.
you may be discounting the joy of the fire breathing impid raids. or the mass neanderthal zerg clubbings.

You get those raids if you add them to an existing save tho, right?
i'm not sure. they're distinct factions in a game you have them in. like there's a pig mafia, a dogboy clan, an impid r aider faction and a waster raider faction.

Started over with the new DLCs. As addicting as this game is I felt I need to support them. :p

Went with Spaceborn Ideology, not sure how this works though, at least they love nutrient paste!

A lot more interesting quests are popping up for sure.

Rimworld doesn't have bundles that give you a discount for buying all of the DLC together does it like Stellaris does? There is one that includes the base game and latest 2 DLC but it doesn't reduce the price if you already own parts of the bundle.

I think rimworlds whole thing is that it isnt expensive, but never goes on sale basically.

If I had to pick one single game to play the next few years it would be this.

Also chatgpt can create mods for it, I did this very simple one in a few minutes tops;

I looked after someone mentioned a package with DLC or expansion. I did not realise how many the game has had over the years.

yep. it's expanded alot. i endorse all of them. its one of the few companies with actual in depth useful/fun dlc. rather than just more waifu outfits and horse armor.

Its 10% off now but the only "bunduru" is Odyssey+Biotech I think.

I got way too many hours already so it has been worth every penny.

Had the slowest start with this run, I did up the difficulty one step. Was hard getting new pawns so with only 3 it took a while to gear up and get some kind of habitable ship.

Doing Shipborn so now they can eat the paste without negative stats so that made the food part easier now at least.

Got 5 pawns geared up now with Bolt Action Rifles and Flak helm/vest. Took the first gravcore now with not too much trouble.

with paste your guys can eat mushrooms (no lights needed) or bug meat. without negative thoughts.

just make sure in the assign menu you do not allow them to eat them raw. or don't allow them put into fine meals.

Current ship, it could go either way. Christian Icon or Austrian Painter Icon.

Finally getting it built up some. Threats are way harder now though, almost failed a few attacks du to them smashing ACs to get in, so I removed them for now.

you can put AC units facing 'inward' toward a 1 or 2 tile opening to the sky to vent. it's much safer

my new MVP animal is megavoles. they can mine (i would estimate about as fast as 10 mining colonist). and can eat corpses. so they are superpigs to me now. they clean the field after each raid. mine out all the metal every t ime i land, and when times get lean we eat all of them except the trained ones.

Early game tip/cheese. Buy a psychic shock lance as soon as you can. They come with 2 charges and have lots of great uses but if two thrumbos happen to wander in you can shock them both and get two super easy thrumbo horns and the leather.

Ship's done for now, it's maxed at 2000/2000.

Might hunt for Gravcores to make better power generators and finally being able to skip the Chemfuel.

What to do with all the kids spawning? Got one that is adult now, and 3 small ones and 1 in the oven. Might make the last kid a slave as they seem to want one of those.
