Any plans for a quick 101 on psycasts?
It's so unusual seeing a pretty base from you, I'm used to those min-maxed 13x13 barracks/dining rooms with dirt floor.
I think was suffering when building that base
But still no corners.
@@omnomzofchainsaws4278 I guess Adam really knows how to cut corners.
Don't get used to it! lol -- I did make 2-3 of these sort of 'pretty bases' for guide backdrops though. So you will see this one again in future guides, at least.
Man the first time I forgot to put remove roof and hearing that scream. Man, actually jolted there
Yeah. I also remember when they added the music from defeating a mech cluster. Was pretty surprising the first time lol.
These guides are soooo good, Adam. They’re super thorough while still being concise.
I also love how you mention like 8 other guides you’re working on in each one, Rimworld sure is a knowledge heavy game lol.
Yeah, it is crazy. I could probably make 100 guides and still have more to say. I'm still learning all the time as well.
I really like your guides. Very high information density, no nonsense but also with nice visualisation. As a rimworld vet there isnt always something new I havent pickt up on by myself or by podcasting your playthroughs but I still watch them all. Had fond memories on the melee run as you mentioned that you cant meditate at a prison. That was quite the riddle back then ;)
Thanks! And yeah, I definitely remember figuring that out during the melee run and have never forgotten (for good reason). Was pretty puzzling at the time.
That is an incredibly beautiful, well-thought out base and an even BETTER tutorial. You’re, like, the absolute nonplusultra of tutorials and teaching stuff, not just of Rimworld, but in general.
It would be a shame if someone were to set it on fire
Thank you, you saved me so much time. All of a sudden my pawns stopped meditating at the tree. They were Unrestricted with their zoning. I thought it was a 1.4 bug. But a wall of a prison cell had been destroyed and I didn't see it. The Anima Tree area had become an area for prisoners only. It would have taken me forever to figure that out if I hadn't consulted this guide. Thank you again!
It’s great to see these guides from you. You are one of the most knowledgeable RimWorld players I’ve come across and you really gave me a new love for the game. Thanks so much for the videos!
My pleasure, thanks for watching!
Okay, first of all, that is a gorgeous base.
Secondly, while I don't often watch your 20 hour videos, I just kinda drop in to watch the odd guide, I'm gonna sub because youve been pumping them a lot lately.
Thanks! Much appreciated.
Time Spent watching Rim World Videos: 70 Hours
Time Spent actually playing Rim World: 0.6 Hours
Literally me.
the thoroughness and concise delivery of information is top tier on this channel. If you don't do CZcams full time as your career, you deserve to buy I'd hope you are taking advantage of these skills in your professional life.
Love the names for all the pawns! Great info, learned a lot!
Thanks! And they definitely just randomly rolled all those names... :P
Love your guide videos, I'm getting so much better at surviving in Rimworld.. Thanks!
I'm glad you made this. I have been playing and didn't notice that it had been updated that those without the Natural meditation type couldn't grow Anima Grass. I also didn't realize that the loss of Anima Grass growth was capped and relatively negligible in order to build near it. I seem to rarely have people with Natural in my colony, but its good to know regardless.
No problem! I definitely suggest trying out a playthrough with the Lost Tribe starting scenario. You should then start with 5 natural pawns. Settle near the tree and have 5 psycasters before you know it. :P
Great guide! Thanks for the more than 3000 hours of streaming this game and the knowledge that you learned to make this vod.
Thanks! And my pleasure.
One important, missing bit of info: royals prefer to meditate on thrones over unassigned meditation spots. So tribal royals need an assigned meditation spot if they are supposed to grow grass.
Great vid, was wondering exactly this after watching one of your playthroughs. Thank you!!
I LOVE this colony you're using to show this, beautfiul architecture
Thanks! Probably the prettiest colony I've ever built, even if I used dev mode to do it :P
Wait, you can build next to the anima tree? That's amazing. I'm glad that Tynan added this to the game. Thanks Adam!
Edit : Omg finally
lol. Thanks for watching!
Thank You for giving me this info! I'm new to the game and didn't know i could see the actual penalty. Totally worth it. So silly for developers to make this limit in the first place. It's a cool mechanic and having it incorporated into your base like you did is so cool.
Really appreciate your guides!! Thanks!
Thank you for the guide! So clear and easy to understand!
Thanks! My pleasure.
Great video. Just went through all 22 of my pawns and non have Natural meditation🤦♂
Great Guide as always! I don't know if I'm the only one but I would love a guide to damage calculation with different guns, armors, distance etc.
Thanks! It is on the endless list of guides lol
Thank you for yet another Awesome vid Adam
Thanks for watching!
After +350 hours I finally understood what's up with the anima tree... thank you! Also, love the base design, it's so different
OMG I love that tribal base. Mine always have a massive circular shape as I encroach on the anima tree haha
Thanks! It's by far the best base (visually) I have ever made lol -- even if I only made it for guide content :P
What determines a tribal base? Sorry but I’m new to rimworld ever since I seen it in on console.
Cool looking base
Get this man some more subs y'all 🤷🏽♂️ thanks for the helpful tips and entertaining playthroughs. Peace
Thanks! much appreciated.
Hi Adam, love the guides and content you put out. Could you make a guide on Idology, I know that video could potentially be massive, but what builds would you suggest to beginners that would offer a potentially successful playthrough.
Thanks for the content.
I will put it on the list. It may be easier to just do a guide on each Ideology and then maybe two separate ones - a tier list type video and a 'these ones are good to use if you are just starting out' or such.
Thanks for watching!
excellent guide ty!
Holy shit, you!
Man, I knew building near the anima tree was okay, but I've never realized it wasn't _that_ bad, even though I'm a wiki addict for most games. I haven't had a tribal in a while, but I've definitely wasted the most valuable resource in the game--time--building very little near the tree (I always stick a table and chair nearby).
Good stuff to know for next time I have tribals.
Thanks for as ever great content!
Thanks for watching!
Great tutorial. The only question I have is "Wait...wha..? You can design aesthetically pleasing bases?"
Lol - Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the guide!
Thanks for watching!
You make great guides
Glad you think so!
great video, thanks a lot
The thing about mods is that they are like drugs in rimworld - once you use them enough time addiction kicks in and is very hard to get over it, so careful with mods. As example once I tried CE and VPE there is no way for me to play vanilla combat and psycasts anymore.
"The answer is depend. There's mod for that!"
Pretty much always, lol
What a pretty base you set up for this haha
Thanks!
Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you gonna do a new tribal run!
Nice. Thanks for watching!
Please do one on the gauralen tree, i can never sustain mine when place it inside my base like you did there
It is on the to-do list! Thanks for watching.
good tip! thanks a lot
Thanks for watching!
What’s the max radius around the tree that the anima grass will grow? Is it that first circle you see when the tree is selected? I always thought the grass would only grow in the two inner rings closest to the tree. However, you’ve pathed through those rings & the grass is growing farther out instead, so now I’m curious…
my grass is disappearing way too early. This has been happening since 1.5. I had a tree indoors like this since this video came out because I tend to play cold or hot biomes and want to make meditators comfortable/protected.
informative Thank You!
Thanks for watching!
I was so hyped to see this video until I realized I cannot make psycasting Muffalo ;`(
Great Vid :)
Thanks!
Great video man ty New Sub here Love the Content
Awesome, glad you are enjoying. Thanks for watching!
1st of all great guides and content. 2nd of all what is the best p-music track and why is it Valiant, aka the one with the sick violin rifts
I was just talking yesterday about how Valiant might be my favorite piece of video game music ever, which is saying a lot lol
Is there a way to get my natural royal to go back to the tree instead of his throne? Soon as he got his throne, he goes there to meditate vs the tree, and I want to use him to get more grass.
thank you
Did you already release the scheduling video you mentioned in this video, or was that a planned future video? I’m having a hard time finding it if it’s out there.
It is a planned one. You can see some quick info about my biphasic stuff here: clips.twitch.tv/ProductiveShinyLatteDancingBanana-mat_-89RpG3QRPd0
I do use a modified version of the one shown there, now, though
thanks very helpfull
Did a list with the best maps video ever get made? I can't seem to find (but maybe I'm missing it?)
Good to know!
Thanks for watching!
Lol, who did you pay to construct your bases? Watching your playthroughs, there's no way any of this base is yours. 😁A great guide as always. Keep it up!
Lol! I thought the same!
Who is this person that is using a Drydas from pruned Gauranlen trees and why is he impersonating Adam vs Everything?
Nice guide. The voiceover was paced and clear. The sections stand alone as references. Every detail covered quickly, down to the "grass is ugly but moss somehow ain't". Too bad the details about forcing the tree to move has to wait for the advanced tutorial on map chunks.
Pft, I just had to imagine I was playing Stardew instead of RimWorld :P
hey,
you said in this guide that you would go over how to fit meditation into your biphasic sleep schedule (in your schedule guide) but I can't seem to find it in that guide. Just wondering if you have a timestamp/can give a quick answer
Sorry, I should have made that section bigger/longer. It was mostly in the infographic. basically, meditation forces wake-up. So just put it before sleep to be safe. Depending on how much grass or psyfocus you want, you can play with the amount a bit. I generally just mirror what I am doing with recreation for meditation.
You can also kill the tree whenever it pops up and scream back at the sky when it screams in your mind
currently having an issue with my anima tree i wasnt using bfr, so built stuff near it, but deconstructed after, and ye the offest of growth for the grass has only gone down from -30% to -26%. Is that normal? do i need to get rid of the flooring too?
Very useful
Thanks!
Do you know how many people gets you to regrow what amount of anima grass? I thought it was just one for one, but I just started a new playthough and both one and two people both regrow one
Each pawn that meditates contributes to growing the grass. The more you have meditating, the faster more grass grows. Think of it like, in Age of Empires or other RTS games, adding more workers to constructing a building. It just makes it faster.
Cheers!
I've spent sooo long trying to do tribal runs with the tree, and being annoyed that it never grew grass so I couldn't link someone... TIL you have to place meditation spots and schedule meditation.
Yep! Glad this helped. Hope your next tribal run is a success, now.
Tell truth, I honestly thought that it was some kind of deadly sin for the pawns to make anything near the tree so I just never utilized the use of it and instead block the dang thing off for all eternity and never grow any Anima grass at all causing me to get irritated when the thing is smack dab in the middle of the only 3 hydrothermal vents of the map so I had to cancel that run even though I got epic pawns rolled (I don't use mods) like a family of fast learners each fitting into a role for the custom ideology I made but after watching this I'll just lock the dang thing inside a cell in the middle of my base where it will never know freedom for as long as it exists.
Lol. It is one of the most common things I get asked on the stream, so you are definitely not alone. :P
Alpha Animals has a creature that feeds exclusively off anima grass… I never before directly a colony to all dogpile something so quickly.
2 questions: do psylinks gained through anime trees increase your wealth? And what is the offset % of nearby nature shrines?
Psycasts do not add to wealth, nor pawn market value. As far as anima stones/shrines connected to the Anima tree, I believe each one offsets it by 2% for a total of +8% with four. I haven't tested it or looked at it specifically in a long time, though, so should probably double check in game. :P - Thanks for watching!
@@AdamVsEverything thanks for the response. Your playthroughs rock. It's cool to see a RTS guy tackle this game so tactfully. Does the 8% offset reduce the max 30% to 22% or does it just negate one instance of a player built structure in there? Essentially what I'm asking is it worth it to build them lol
is this footage from a playthrough i can watch on yt? the base is gorgeous
Nope, I made that base specifically as a tribal guide backdrop. So you'll see it some more in future guides but probably not a 'real' playthrough :P
@@AdamVsEverything no worries thanks! I love it I may have taken some screenshots and heavily used it for inspiration in a tribal playthrough haha
yes
indeed
i have been clicking randomize for a while and none of them have the meditation thing. i own all three expansion packs enabled.
Have to do Tribal scenario.
I'm pretty sure guagua pods can override anima grass, so you want at least a little distance between anima trees and dryad trees.
The moss won't grow over top of the anima grass from my testing. The actual Dryad eggs might, though, I didn't specifically test those as I generally just leave the dryads at the tree immature to bait easy animal insanity events :P
Vero straightforward and informative
Thanks!
your bases are crazy, mine are all blocky. But works...
It doesn't seem like building nature shrines around the tree is effective in offsetting the -30 from artificial structures. It still shows as 0% psyfocus bonus and -30% focus grass growth.
Each should increase psyfocus gain rate of the meditating by another 2% (doesn't impact grass growth or the tree itself) stacking to 8% max. The wiki and game files seem to say it still does as well.
I've been looking for a pawn for more than 2 hours, and I haven't found one with natural meditation, I have a pawn filter, still nothing.
Tribal pawns start with natural meditation (all aside from just a couple of backgrounds).
@@AdamVsEverything thanks brother 🫡 i Will try again.
Am I remembeeing wrong, or do Beavers try to eat the tree?
They mentioned changing that and Thrumbos eating it a while back, so I don't think it is the case any more. There is a chance they were talking about trader animals eating it and not the wild event, though. I will have to test the latter. Luckily, walling it in protects it from that either way, though.
@@AdamVsEverything based on a horrible run I tired yesterday, the alphabeaver event beavers will eat the tree. No sure about the thrumbos though. It also could be a mod messing with it, but I don’t think any of the mods I had would change that mechanic.
now do one of these for vanilla psycasts expanded
I'd like to do some guide content on mods someday, just not enough hours in the day right now :P
nice. ;-)
Thanks for watching!
Hello, algorithm!
Thanks, Torg :P
I can’t find the map seeds you mentioned
Those aren't out yet. I believe I said 'They *may* already be out by the time you watch this video.' but that was meant for future viewers. It is on the list, though!
In the meantime I have several playthroughs up on CZcams with amazing Anima tree spawns. The seeds are always listed in the descriptions. Definitely check out the 'Igor' run for 2 amazing seeds.
Finally
Now I can start linking this instead of explaining it all in every playthrough :P
@@AdamVsEverything jajaja yea
One More Quest how Many lufiferium i Nerd for 10 dups?
do you really reply to all questions?
Usually.
I always thougth that anima dies if too much stuff is nearby.
It does not, luckily.
I'm actually here first!
Nice! Thanks for watching.
I can only assume modwife built that base
Lol. If she played RimWorld she would probably play it that way for sure (and I don't mean that in a negative way :P)
how tf do they think the anima grass is ugly? that's gotta be some foresight by the devs lol they probably just got the value wrong
It was definitely done on purpose, but not sure why. I guess they think it is creepy, no idea lol. That's the only thing that ,makes sense' based on the Archonexus ending. Of course it isn't creepy enough to not consume for psycasts so who knows what the devs reasoning was/is.
On the topic of using gauranlen trees as decoration, you don't have to actually prune or even connect with them for them to grow moss. I always use them for outdoor dining/rec rooms since they don't contribute to wealth and the moss doesn't need to be replanted like flowers.
Yes, that is what I meant. None of the Guaralen trees in this video are being pruned. Another bonus is that the immature Dryads can be the target of 'mass insanity' which is considered a 'major threat' event, but are very easy to kill. The untamed Dryads will also automatically stomp out nearby fires.
I'm just confused my anima tree doesn't like buildings next to it and you have a bunch
Watch the guide you just commented on, I literally explain this in it.
The fact we will never see you build a pretty base in a Rimworld run is very disappointing.
Pft, I built this one! But yeah, probably never going to see something quite like this in a 'real' run :P
Lmao bear attack
my trees just keep randomly dying XD
Maybe from a tree-eating animal of some sort on your map?
@@AdamVsEverything not sure, they seem to die during winter and when no animals are around, they usually spawn super far from my mountain base so i just forget about them, but ill keep an eye on it if it respawns
@@andrzejwysocki609 Weird. Are you using mods that might be impacting it in some weird way? That is the only other thing I can think of. Or if it is within a giant pen and you have it set to auto cut trees or something :P
@@AdamVsEverything i remember getting a beaver invasion, but they left before my tree died, no mods besides no breach raids, thats why im going to pay close attention to the next anima tree, but yeah this is the only game ive had it die several times with no clue as to what killed it, lol
Bruh i have 13colonists and i dont have any natural type meditation💀
weeb tree
𝓟Ř𝔬𝓂𝔬𝐒ϻ 😱
I have no idea what this is lol
Anina tree is waste of time as its usually far.
What about Dryads? Aren't they associated with the Anima tree?
No, that is the Guaranlen tree, which is Ideology and not Royalty.
