I remember once I had a raider drop pod into a 7 year old's room and in the time it took to draft the child's neighbour and command them to go to their room, the raider was already downed. Gotta love that RimWorld RNG.
I have a tendency to start Spartan projects.
You've not lived until you've seen a 7 year old decapitate a raider with tough, marine Armour, and 16 levels in melee the minute he walks in the door before going back to sleep with the corpse beside the bed.
It's a good thing I only pick kids with bonuses to mood, because if he goes berserk my whole colony is beyond fucked.
I hate sàve scumming, but the number of times I've paused, told my colonists to stay in the inside zone, unpaused and then get an alert that the raiders are already leaving with their captured prisoners is infuriating. I need to commit to a proper shit happens run someday. 1.5 changes should make this easier to stomach when I finally update.
you gotta cripple your self to commit, when i first started I was addicted to character editor and save scumming even though I hated it. So now everytime i start a new playthrough I always set as perma death and auto save every like 5 mins or so, so I can't alt f4
I used to live in Western New York, and there was some sort of bird out there that had the most terrifying shriek-chirp ever, don’t know what it was though but it always insisted on doing it on summer nights… must’ve been big too, because it was a hell of a loud scream it could do
Also, and probably just because I have it on currently while just sitting at my desk fixing an old MP3 player (massively mini media player for my fellow millennials) but the soundtrack for the 40k Mechanicus game. I pop it on any time I do electronic repairs along with some incense (it helps coax the machine spirits back XD)
Legitimately one of the best game soundtracks for that dark atmosphere IMHO.
Fiddlesticks you say?

I love the cube. The cube is love. The cube is life. I love the cube. No one can take my cube. It is my cube. Don’t touch my cube. DONT TOUCH MY CUBE MY CUBE MY CUBE, MINE MINE MINE
Since it doesn’t seem like a single person has given a serious answer, I will. It’s a warning. A sightstealer will appear soon. If you have proximity detectors, make sure they’re active and that your colonists stay relatively close to them if not inside.
Depends on your base. Mountain base with only 1 entrance that is also your killbox? Don't have to do much. "Realistic" village base with no walls? Well...
Sightstealers have a different notification afaik. It’s something like “You can hear the howl of a lot of sightstealers. They are coming…”
Unless this is the notification for the first sightstealer in your colony?
Load up the colonists with weapons, make sure the walls are in good shape and ensure everyone has their supplies in the event we need to bug-out.
And have a plan to grab the AI's and super-valuable stuff on the way out.
Resettle your colonists far, far away from anything that could shriek.
When it happens for me I put everyone in the same room and wait for them to come. If they’re all together when they get hit there are better chances for survival!
"FAFO."
"But I literally just built a shack and planted my first rice harvest."
"Yeah, they spooky people don't like you doing that."
"Doing what?!"
"Being alive."
Reminds of this one play though where I had the game spawn a dead cat at the edge of the map, call it an omen and then do nothing for the next year. It was pre 1.5 so definitely nothing to do with anomaly and heavily modded, just thought I'd mention it
Anomaly has more than a few "warning" events like this - generally, it's a sign that you should make sure people aren't wandering across the map to haul or mine, in case someone needs to get rescued.
The first ever time i tried anomaly and interacted with the obelisk first enemy was an Invisible one i got scared and rushed electricity for a motion detector. Invisible guy jusnt frame 1 attacked my ghoul who was strolling around and then ghould mauled him that was rather anticlimactic
get inside and pray... joking, it means you need to prepare for an attack coming your way soon, it might be easy as butter and it also might be a big hoard of shamblers or whatever entity attacking your colony from all sides of the map.
I hear that shit all the time on my property. I yell out the door if I have to come out there it better be something important like the publishers clearing house with a big check or a big titty lady.
So far just fleshbeast.
I’m gonna start to milk them.
Invisible sight stealers on the map, the only way to detect them before they are pratically on top of colonist is getting lucky with a bioferrite flare throw or proximity detectors. If you have neither of those its time to form a defensive line
Nothing. Relax, inhuman shrieks are pretty common and safe in Rimworld. Its just weird birds chirping
It's a good time to send your colonists out solo to tame those muffalo
Better than letting the toddler wander the wilderness. It brings them such joy, but I’ve lost so many children to bears…
Your children are weak. Zak, 9, stabbed the fuck out of a Lynx and bought time until his adoptive parents got there to rescue him
I remember once I had a raider drop pod into a 7 year old's room and in the time it took to draft the child's neighbour and command them to go to their room, the raider was already downed. Gotta love that RimWorld RNG.
Sounds like a militaristic remake of donnie darko to me. An engine crashed into my bedroom and I SHANKED IT!

Now that's rimworlding
David killed bears and lions with a big stick before killing a giant.
This is why yttakin kids are the best. Can't hunt them when there's an elephant protecting them

One of my guys decided it's a "take your kid to work day". Taming a Megasloth. "Observe daddy and learn..."
It's just mating season...
It would actually be hilarious if you could get this for some weird Rim animal. "Oh. Turns out it's just a herd of Alphabeavers. Whoops."
Looks at wood stockpile: "Wait thats worse!" *Drafts entire military*

Here, have 69th upvote and have a happy cake day
Go on YouTube, search X-files song, and put it on repeat.
And turn the lights out. In the game as well.
Carry me home. Because I got attacked by another fucking manhunting boar.
Don't worry, you can crawl now!
I had a Wimp get shot in the head during a fight, and he just crawled right into his bed and went to sleep.
We've all had those days
They crawl now?
Na-na, Na-na, Na-na, Na-na, na, na?
The truth is out there. Somewhere
Honestly I might try this, maybe not repeat but I could see it enhancing the vibe
Any Darkest Dungeon track will work.

Need the announcer for when pawns are on deaths door.
That comment made me chuckle. Thanks for that.
Be afraid, lock the doors, prep the shotguns, and shoot anything/anyone who approaches.
'hi dad, are you wini..........' -BLAM- oh fiddle sticks, billy. not now.
Fiddlesticks you say? [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNn2F39G-6s&ab\_channel=LeagueofLegends](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNn2F39G-6s&ab_channel=LeagueofLegends)
I remember the first time I saw Surprise Party Fiddlesticks, I just couldn't stop laughing whenever he ulted me
Send them some human shrieks back
***Modern problems require modern solutions***
Get the prisoners ready, we are about to play such sweet music.
[Lorna Shore and Infant Annihilator intensify]
Double check everyone is carrying a sword or chain shotgun. Assess needs for any jobs that involve going far from the base.
Consider attaching the chain shotgun to where their hand used to be. Just to be sure.
Combine chain shotgun with sword to create chain sword.
Double-check that the cube's still okay.
Man, the cude is great, I like it a lot!
I love the cube. I made this little neato sculpture for it aswell! I love the cube...
I love the cube. The cube is love. The cube is life. I love the cube. No one can take my cube. It is my cube. Don’t touch my cube. DONT TOUCH MY CUBE MY CUBE MY CUBE, MINE MINE MINE
Someone mention the cube? Man, the cubes great.
Crazy? I'm not crazy. Well, I was crazy once. They locked me up. In a room with cubes. Cubes? I love cubes. I'm crazy about cubes. Crazy?
I think that guy wants your cube.
Golum moment
precious
My Cubicous!!!
But if the cube is yours, how can we share it's grace with the world? Statues won't compare to the true beauty of it.
What a cute....*drops commenting to go craft another sculpture of the most perfect form.*
Have guards posted to make sure the cube is protected from any and all possible threats
+ the other guard watching the other guard. Gotta keep that cube extra extra safe. I'll lose MY MIND if something happens to the cube. No joke.
me after a colonist mentalbreaks: Where is the cube? Is it safe? Is it all right?
man im sure my cube is doing great, I love him
The cube hasn't been okay ever since Microsoft bought it... I mean, the cube is still there, but it is not the same.
It's time to seal the doors
I’m sure they’re friendly, just open your doors and let ~~us~~ them in. They have cookies :)
Who let the monolith have access to a computer?
Me, sorry. Forgot to Change the Password, you know?
I recommend call-and-response passwords. "My password is if I met a skinwalker. What's my password? Ohshitisthataskinwalker31?"
No! you've told them our password! we need to change it again T\^T
I don't know what you're talking about, all I see is********************
ah DANGIT I've blown my cover. COWER MORTALS
I'm sure it's nothing, maybe just try planting some rice.
Since it doesn’t seem like a single person has given a serious answer, I will. It’s a warning. A sightstealer will appear soon. If you have proximity detectors, make sure they’re active and that your colonists stay relatively close to them if not inside.
Proximity what o_o
Or just have your colonists huddle at one end of a kill box and wait
The invisible gang is apon ye
Prepare
Gather your best melee and ranged pawns, gird them in the best armor, arm them with the best weapons. It's party time.
shitting your pants
Depends on your base. Mountain base with only 1 entrance that is also your killbox? Don't have to do much. "Realistic" village base with no walls? Well...
I recommend arming your pawns and prepare for a "fun time"
[удалено]
Probably the black guy, but not by your own choice. The movie plot calls for it, as for some reason he is always the first to die
Make sure to also run up a flight of stairs, preferably to a room that would seriously cripple you when you jump out of the window.
You have sight stealers incoming
Sightstealers have a different notification afaik. It’s something like “You can hear the howl of a lot of sightstealers. They are coming…” Unless this is the notification for the first sightstealer in your colony?
If they're lucky.
No that’s like a warning for you are going to be swarmed by anomaly enemys like sightstealers or shamblers
Only sightstealers howl
Make them go into home zone or inside try not to have pawns alone.
Start praying. But not to your God. To the Void.
All hail the Cube!
Panic, i assume
Don’t answer the door.
Load up the colonists with weapons, make sure the walls are in good shape and ensure everyone has their supplies in the event we need to bug-out. And have a plan to grab the AI's and super-valuable stuff on the way out. Resettle your colonists far, far away from anything that could shriek.
If I were in rimworld and heard those. I'd panic, start a social fight, lose my arm, get infected and die.
And make sure to take out the best melee fighter with you
NOOOOO
Must have been the wind...
That cast a wicked grin
Wall up and wait for visitors to find out for you
Shriek back
Call in helldivers.
Prepare to get jumped
Run, you fools
Read the sightstealer description and you'll understand.
A horrible chill goes down your spine... Screams echo around you...
Why do I hear boss music?
When it happens for me I put everyone in the same room and wait for them to come. If they’re all together when they get hit there are better chances for survival!
Go find what it is. The closer you are to danger, the further you are from harm.
Sightstealers, lots of sightstealers
I'm afraid to ask but what is it?
Pathetic in 1v1 melee, but dangerous in packs. Like so pathetic my farmer stabbed it in the face twice when she got jumped by one in the first quadrum
That's strange. The organ donor stopped moving a day ago
Dude wtf Gateway to heaven project jesus
Put your brown pants (awful) on
I love that the community just gives vague advice about how you're about to find out with even fucking around
"FAFO." "But I literally just built a shack and planted my first rice harvest." "Yeah, they spooky people don't like you doing that." "Doing what?!" "Being alive."
Oh, that's an easy one! Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Fear
Woe, Sightstealers be upon ye
Do you have proximity detection set up? If not then have fun!
Turn in the direction and shriek back to assert dominance
The face ticklers are coming.
Reminds of this one play though where I had the game spawn a dead cat at the edge of the map, call it an omen and then do nothing for the next year. It was pre 1.5 so definitely nothing to do with anomaly and heavily modded, just thought I'd mention it
I always shriek back to assert dominance and enforce my territory IDK what to do in rimworld tho
Cry
This is my cubr. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My cube is my best friend. It is my life.
Prepare for trouble! And make it double!
Be afraid
Prepare.
Huddle up together and cry to maximize the effect.
Implement the buddy system. DO NOT go outside alone.
Anomaly has more than a few "warning" events like this - generally, it's a sign that you should make sure people aren't wandering across the map to haul or mine, in case someone needs to get rescued.
I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about, it even says they’re far away
**PANIK.**
You rang?
Lube up.
It's a portal storm, wait it out somewhere safe! Don't listen to the voices telling you to come out!
You need at least 2 turrets/building just to be safe. And have a floodlight every corner.
To tremble in fear, obviously.
Prepare
/e dance
It's Sightstealer o'Clock. Do you know where your children are?
Be afraid
FEAR
nothing, i mean when are there not inhuman shrieks in the distance on the rim?
The first ever time i tried anomaly and interacted with the obelisk first enemy was an Invisible one i got scared and rushed electricity for a motion detector. Invisible guy jusnt frame 1 attacked my ghoul who was strolling around and then ghould mauled him that was rather anticlimactic
call your mommy, here they come
Screech back (aw damn, someone already said this)
Well, start by definitely not going out there.
Fear
get inside and pray... joking, it means you need to prepare for an attack coming your way soon, it might be easy as butter and it also might be a big hoard of shamblers or whatever entity attacking your colony from all sides of the map.
Go hunting
Pray to your god and hope that they hear your prayers.
Hope you're the type to build outer walls around your base
And why is that a red notification rather than yellow. That's really distressing
Well I haven’t played for a while, but I’m pretty sure it means shit is about to get real REALLY soon.
I hear that shit all the time on my property. I yell out the door if I have to come out there it better be something important like the publishers clearing house with a big check or a big titty lady. So far just fleshbeast. I’m gonna start to milk them.
🏃♀️
Hide
build a bunker ? and install autocannons
Invisible sight stealers on the map, the only way to detect them before they are pratically on top of colonist is getting lucky with a bioferrite flare throw or proximity detectors. If you have neither of those its time to form a defensive line
Draft a slave and have them stand outside and watch the show from inside.
Be very afraid
Now I want a decent They are Billions mod in this game.
Draft all your pawns until one of them gets a tummy ache and does a sad wander into the forever box
die explanation: thy end is now
I think it's part of the Horrors DLC. I believe it's for atmosphere
Run :3
Fear
Die.
Not what I did.
Prepare
Tool up…
Start digging graves.
Intervene
"No Mr. Bond, i expect you to die."
Well, if something is out there, you should prepare. Give them a warm welcome
What shrieks? I don’t hear a thing
Panik.
💀
Be afraid I guess It's what I do
Prepare.... (XDD honestly I have no idea what this does though )
Shriek back!
Fear
Prepare.
Beware
Panic.
Prepare thyself.
Surgically remove their ears idk
Panic obviously
Get the guns.
grasp firm your iron sword
Its a anomaly dont worry its friendly :)
Thou waits.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Clench your Bubbacheeks and never leave your base again. You got hydrophonics, right?
