If you are going to tame animals, do that quickly.

Unless you are really hurting for food already, I wouldn't bother trying to harvest wild agave/berries. your people need to stay inside, so you should make sure to encompass an area to zone for stone chunks and the stone cutting table if you normally keep those outdoors (as I do) - no, the toxic fallout won't hurt the chunks or table, but it will buildup and make sick your haulers and stonecutters. You'll save time and material using pre-existing walls and hills/mountains to connect walls to and minimize how many actual walls you build. You also should start immediately building a large perimeter wall and internal support pillars to support a large roofed area for farming. Its fine to hunt boomrats/boomlopes normally, generally during the rain or snowed-in winter that will reduce and contain the fires - but Toxic Fallout is major crunch time and I don't consider boomrats/boomalopes worth it to go hunt unless they are the majority of the 'meat' on the map. Quill18 was also wrong that you can't hunt and get meat from boomrats or boomalopes, but honestly its a bit manpower-intensive (you need someone to actually shoot to kill the boomrate/boomalope, and several others standing by to stamp out the fire so you can recover the corpse). If I am remembering correctly that the smallest critters die first, hunt the smaller game first - squirrels and rabbits. Put everyone you have with a ranged weapon on hunting. here are the things to do:įirst, most immediately, hunt as much as you can. I am endlessly befuddeld Quill18 STILL hasn't figured this out, but since he hasn't, I think there must be other players who haven't figured it out yet.

don't count on being able to just haul in those animal corpses when they die from the stuff.Īll plants dying includes your crops, too.Ī basic flub Quill18 makes that also applies to his dealing with the winter in the colder climes he prefers to play in for more challenge is thinking you can grow crops outdoors, or you can grow them in power-hungry hydroponics bays and that's it, there's no in between, if you don't have the electrical power to power hydroponics bays then you can't farm in cold winter or toxic fallout - THIS IS NOT THE CASE, FOLK! You can INDOOR FARM using Sunlamps (which you don't need research to build!) from the very getgo on soil. Its important to note that not only will everything outdoors die, but the process of rotting/decaying is much faster - I think corpses go from fresh to rotted to dessicated - all three stages - in just a day or so, versus several days of being fresh, then several more days of rotted before becoming dessicated. In general, the smaller/weaker something is, the faster it will die - so grasses and squirrels and boomrats will die first, then the bigger stuff. The important essentials of this event are it will kill everything outdoors - all plants including trees, and all animals - over time. I've weathered this - I know many have - but I think some who struggle with it might deal better.
Rimworld toxic fallout how to#
I saw a "let's play" series on Rimworld awhile back played by Quill18 whom beats the pants of me off almost every game, but at Rimworld he has made some major errors in my view, and among them was his notions of the Toxic Fallout event and how to deal with it. yeah yeah I like playing a bit more relaxed, but I do well through some crises.

I tend to play on medium difficulty and I tend to play on year-round-farming-weather maps in mountainous terrain and I play with Phoebe.
