- Today we'll be finding out how well a solo mechanitor fares against the zombie apocalypse in Rimworld, as well as how well he fares against Biotech's three Mechanoid bosses.
Rimworld is a video game, it's a colony management game and then so much more... This video follows the story of a lonely mechanitor named Arkhan Land as he defeats the game's three mechanoid bosses, the Diabolus, War Queen and Apocriton as well as surviving a zombie apocalypse brought about by the ZombieLand mod.

Hey folks, here's a thing.
Before you mention it, yes, I'm aware Arkhan has a feminine appearance. Maybe I forgot to change this when I set him up in the character editor, maybe he's just a bit extra that way.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the video, until next time, cheers.
Arkhan is just a bit more open-minded than most mechanitors.
Arkhan is clearly a trans man early in his transition.
@@bwcmakro can you not
its true though, what's wrong?
@@bwcmakro not everyone is part of your fantasy, very few people are
Ah yes, the esteemed Arkhan Land, the man who thought monkeys were apex predators because their tails just had to be lethal weapons.
he might be onto something, maybe we just haven't seen their dark side...
They are very dangerous like very and they even coordinate gang attack on eachothers and normaly go for the troat and rip off balls
Yes, they use it to inject poison in their prey like the poisonous giant scorpions of tallarn.
And the founder of the land raider and land speeder even though he said not to have his name in his creation’s names
@@HazzorPlaysGames I was shocked to see that you still use Mod Manager, instead of the superior RimPy. I'd almost forgotten it existed.
The mod you need is metal doesn’t burn, doesn’t make any damn sense that steel ignites at room temperature anyways. All it does is change one little thing in the defs and everything made of steel doesn’t burn.
Yes, that would do it, thanks for the suggestion
Even with jet fuel?
@@EmergencyChannel maybe if you were using it as fuel for a furnace. WTC collapsed due to the steel supports (which didn’t have fireproofing due to shit contractors) which were already damaged by the plane impact bending and buckling due to the heat.
@@LazerWolf21 Yeah the collapse is maybe plausible if we take into account human error, but could stell really melt into slag like what we saw just from jet fuel? I find that a little funny
@@ironduke5058 didn’t need to melt the supports to cause structural failure. Basically the steel sagged (metal, and anything else really, expands when heated) due to the heat of the fire. Eventually it sagged so much that due to the already massive kinetic damage from the plane impact, some support snapped like a twig and the rest is history.
Ah yes. Arkhan Land, the inventor of the Land Speeder.
And let us not forget the Land Raider
Also Land Train.
Pretty sure he just went around local Administratum office and told everyone he invented it since it's called Land X while slightly drunk and nobody questioned it since, well, how would you even.
For some reason this comment got held for approval, I have no idea why, just wanted to let you know that I had to approve it.
Arkhan Land is a grimdank patent troll.
@@HazzorPlaysGames Isn't it just because he found a STC about those things that it is named after him or something? Long since I read the lore around him, just remember the Yogscast bit where they discuss him and come up with "Johnny Las" the father of the Lasgun.
@@TheMetalfreak360 Correct! He discovered the STC templates for the Land Raider and Land Speeder. He also HATED that they named them after him.
I adore the idea of the zombie menace being so unbothersome that Arkan methodically an thoughtfully takes the time to paint his floors.
Idea, gradually get more colonists but lock them all in a secluded room with food and RnR, not providing anything to the colony but still increasing difficulty.
Yeah someone in the discord suggested a slave box...
That'd definitely do it but I just couldn't resist rip scanning them all...
You shouldn't even need to lock them up if they have all their jobs disabled. Or if you build cryptosleep caskets for them.
@@timothymclean deadass, just recruit all the ancient danger people then put them back inside lmao. That ought to do it
@@HazzorPlaysGames just turn off dynamic difficulty
It was off towards the end, doesn't raise the zombie limit
15:35
Rarely in video games do I feel anything towards the death of characters...
But this... I felt so sad watching this... Thanks Hazzor, your voice acting made this scene 10x harder to watch
RIP Norton, may you rest in the most luxurious sponge bath machine
He died doing what he loved.
@@HazzorPlaysGames also there is a machine that can make brains. it`s called a "woman"
@@yesimrealhuman4245 nah, it kills them
Part of why the game felt so easy is because CE makes mechanoids super strong but since you started with your own mechanoids you were already stronger than any threat you'd face in the first year or two. CE also makes the zombies a non threat since they are so easily mowed down with the changed accuracy and damage mechanics. Especially with mechanoids who are essentially immune to the zombies.
I tried to defeat the diabolus in Ce and all my 6 militors died to the fast firing rifle the diabolus has that can two shot militors not the big cannon
CE adds a whole different value to the game. Problem is it will also make you massively OP if most of your enemies are melee characters. 200+ person raid all armed with guns... now that's when it gets interesting.
Yup. Forces you to make kill boxes and traps
300 plus pirates demands that you either out range them or outgun them by a big amount to keep them suppressed. Lots of grenade launchers and heavy machine guns.
@@Manslayer-eo1nh D-Day style entrenchment systems and mortars for all!
@@slamex Hans, pass me the mg42
@@theortheo2401 no i just have a machinegun pillbox at the front, with 2 m2 brownings, and im going to make various machinegun nests around the areas where raiders enter.
Consider using the mod "Achtung!" to save yourself your wrist//hand/fingers when having to click so much for deconstructing and such. RSI is not fun. Great Mechanitor playthrough!
11:13 Mechanoids refuse to charge if the charger is not in their area. and for the charger to count, is needed to be the interaction point and the adjacent next square of the structure, the middle part of the charger.
Poor Arkhan, he sounded so dark & depressed. Just like the world he was living in.
I know! Send him into space and fight hordes of space zombies (Reavers right?).
Surely that would cheer him up! XD
he would then go on to invent the Land Speeder and the Land Raider, and be forever hated by the 40k community
The flood is my favorite space zombie
15:40 I feel bad for Norton he's just unaware of what was gonna happen to him. RIP Norton i hope he comes back
Yes, Norton, it's a sponge bath machine.
I've always planned in running a "meanwhile" scenario for myself in rimworld where you basically follow one of your ex prisoners from your organ harvesting farm, so they start with practically no equipment, missing lung and kidney and they're probably old because early game raiders are almost always riddled with Alzheimers. Would be a challenge for sure, and kind of hilarious.
I never realized before how badly I want someone to set up a line of commissions for realistic RimWorld things. And if Ludeon paid for it, they could do like a digital supporter pack that gives you the digital artbook to look at, say, a scyther and actually get an understanding of how they are so fearsome. I personally imagine like an Assaultron from FO4 without that "fuck you" beam face
Love your rimworld videos!
Thanks
10:48 the mod Achtung! lets you prioritize all similar work in the proximity, so you don't have to click each one individually. It would add a smaller lightning shaped button on the priority button.
As always, a widely entertaining watch! Also nice to see a Warhammer 40K reference!
Rest in peace to his monkey :(
In terms of human colonists being turned into zombies, you usually need zombie bites to do that. Arkhan took a punch to the foot, so he was fine.
Edit: I also swear you can have more than 100 zombies on a map, but I don’t play the mod. Something was probably missed on your save file.
14:30 you can see the mod setting limit for 500 zombies, so yeah something is odd for it to cap at 100.
@@giin97 14:28 is a better time.
I think there is either a setting missed for an entity limit elsewhere, or another mod was enabled that accidentally limited zombies.
I love that we have a little bit of AdMech in our friend Hazzor, glory to the omnissiah and Imperial Patent Law judging by Arkhen Land's use of 'Land X' in vehicle names
I kinda feel bad for Norton but then I thought maybe he’s not dead maybe he gets to live his life as that craft bot. Just without any free will. And idk why but it makes me feel better knowing that good old Norton will live a long life crafting things for the colony.
Norton: I have no mouth but I must scream
Arkhan sounds like someone who would be RAISING zombies, not exactly fighting them.
He also sounds like a guy who would be rediscovering artifacts and involuntarily having them named after him
Anyone else fall asleep to this guys voice? Smoooooooth my dude
Sleep-watchers are a coveted audience among CZcamsrs, so I welcome you with open, pillowy arms.
I cannot overstate how much I love your outro. "Stay indoors, it's not safe out there," just hits so hard for some reason. The insinuation that the viewer is under threat of something that only you seem to know of is so ominous yet enthralling. Love the vids, keep it up ❤
Man, you don't know how much I've looked for a combat extended solo mechanitor playthrough.
And then this just shows up in my recommended out of the blue.
Thanks!
Since I made it early for once I just wanted to say that I love your videos! Thanks for making them and good luck going forward :)
Thanks, appreciate it.
Man, I fucking love your sense of humor. I really hope that your channel keeps on growing so more people can enjoy it!
Love the Reggie reference
4:05 I love how you interacted with the viewers like that. Please don't let this idea die out. ♥
For immersion sake, I just avoid to exploit the game, as building a killzone. Without one, the combat difficulty raises a lot. And I do as you with the minigun... just don't equip the best weapon (not considering that the mini IS one of the best... but, yet, could be a suicide sentence in a number of occasions).
Thank you for the video. I started a Mechanitor gameplay but after one ingame year just forgot about the need to call the "mech-bosses" and still stuck with my first tier mechs. BUT, as I'm playing Afghan-Vietcong stile, feeling my mountain tunnels with traps and praying for the best, things are going fine. Now, all will be way better than "fine". Cheers!
I like how in the middle of this I get an ad for halo Dr sasquacth soap
Might I recommend the mod Metal Don't Burn? Or at least similar mods? Steel being that flammable is something the devs should've dealt with long ago.
Also you can still use Character Editor in game to fix his appearance if you have saved him in Character Editor, or not it's barely noticeable.
I love this channel and these series, thank you for making content about my favorite game.
Love your videos mate, can't wait to get rimworld for myself and do a massively modded playthrough (on my own) .. I'm pumped and motivated!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I love the idea of a mechinator v zombies and I’ll probably try this run myself
Keep up the good work
Once again a banger. Keep putting this stuff out.
I really love your story telling! Keep on going and can't wait for the next video
"It also means he's hideously ugly..."
[doubts in cute hairstyle and body shape]
Recently subscribed and happily working through your content, thanks
The only threat to a well managed Mechanitor is lag.
I really enjoy your narration. You remind me of the narrator of RetroAhoy, and I really enjoy those videos too. It's the cadence and little fun things you bring up in your video.
you're quickly becoming one of my favorite youtubers, keep up the quality videos. Also i think you should try recording CDDA its a good game
I always get excited when i see you upload a new vid.
18:36 this is why using metal don’t burn mod saves us getting rage quiting
I love how deep these colony sim games like Rimworld and Dwarf Fortress are but I don’t have the gaming time these days to get good at them lol. So here I am. I play when I have time and then watch CZcams to see the cool stuff I’ll never have time to do lol
The reason the bugs got beat up at the start of the zombie onslaught is because the default setting is animals ignore zombies
I have messed around with the zombie land mod
It easier just to set the zombie limit to whatever number you want instead of what colony thread it is
As it would keep spawning zombies as long as it's going on
Yeah it does affect games that are going on
ah mr land the person the land raider was named after
21:30 nice reference
Ah Arkham land, the renowned VERY BRAVE scientist, known for his.... Tactical withdrawals while screaming at the top of his lungs!
Yo man I love your Videos keep it up
22 minutes of pure entertainment
another lovely rimworld video with lovely warcrimes
I love the musics choices so much, PvZ musics fit well.
I like how Hazoor used factorio music XD, thought i had the game open till i realized it was just the vid
gotta love a hazzor rimworld video
10:40 thinking about the hybrid baby left in the gen room LOL
Great video!
5:59 bro took 4 headshots from shotguns and just said "oops nevermind guys"
Pretty sure Zombieland more so works with the system of both everyone being infected and the Project Zomboid system of that the infection doesn’t become active unless a zombie lands a bite on you.
"And Is Immediately Sacrificed to the machine god... as is tradition"
Ive been watching your videos for a while but for spme reason i wasnt subscribed? Anyways i joined you as a channel member. Sick content bruv
Love the reference to a fellow RimWorld content creator
These deserves 10M VIEWS
Man, combat efficiency seems really, really op
A colony hiding from worldwide terminators/sky net with hidden colonies scattered around type mod would be fun. Although I have no idea how to play with mods, I can't ever get them to work for some reason
RimPy Mod Manager can help a lot in that regard.

Ain’t always early, but damn as I glad especially when it’s one fo your vids

Subscribed!
I'm addicted to your videos
Man i didnt hear a word you said when pvz music played i was back in my childhood hearing that music
Great video, just commenting to help the video.
Ah yes. PVZ sound. Very soothing to hear👍
This voice is soo suited for narration in audiobooks
I mean I may be wrong but I think I, at this point am that nebulously dangerous thing.
tbh origonal content deserves a sub
😂😂😂😂the daughter part killed me
Quick notice to anyone wondering about the difficulty issue of solo mechanitor colonists:
this scenario is stupidly easy with combat extended. in vanilla even on lower difficulties anything beyond wave 1 diabolus either requires immensely overwhelming firepower and advantage or huge cheese like well-designed singularity killboxes & cornerpunching tunnels. Sometimes both.
Overall having combat extended is still worth it on account of how embarrassing vanilla combat is to watch.
i pretty much started the exact same playthrough yesterday and was stuck on 25 zombies as well
If you run into the swamp floor issue again you can go into debug mode and replace a concrete bridge with actual floor if you want to make it aesthetically pleasing.
I believe zombieland has a max limit per colonist slider somewhere. So while you increased spawn rate you didnt let enough spawn. This is a option to make sure the game doesnt lag to much but of course with a singular colonist can be a problem
I'm not sure if it's a good or a bad sign that every single thing I thought of commenting on in this video has already been addressed by another commenter, including Hazzor himself.
Either way, great video.
That just means you're becoming a member of a hive mind, it's perfectly normal.
@@HazzorPlaysGames Damn you, but also fair enough, no point in resisting considering how easily I got hooked on by the Dwarf Fortress videos.
had forgotten i already watched this video xD 11:50 made me rofl x3 worth the rewatch!
I love this guy he is the goat I love how he says cute little robots
The reference towards reggie.
I like to imagine Arkhan badly wounds a team of slavers here to take him and while they're all trapped inside his turret room, mechs restraining the downed slavers. Arkhan " I like ze eyes one zhis vun. " after he had to start doing rip scans.
Hvala ti Arkane
Love the Reggii reference since youtube recomended all of you to me at the same time. (A bunch of funny storytelling wellspoken lunatics)
Man I WISH Militors were this useful in vanilla.
2:18 song: graze the roof (from the game Plants vs Zombies, fitting tbh)
Took me a bit to realize Arkhan land was a warhammer reference
Something cool i like to imagine with the Militors is instead of _holding_ their guns,the guns are a _part_ of them (like in their arm,with the barrel in their knuckles)
Factorio music, nice
Very cool. Not really commenting to say anything of substance but i might as well boost engagement for the youtube algorythm
"produce our own brains with a people farm"
I don't know everything about this dlc, but isn't this technically possible with prisoners, test tube embryos, and growth vats?
