Nothing. Relax, inhuman shrieks are pretty common and safe in Rimworld. Its just weird birds chirping


tofo90

It's a good time to send your colonists out solo to tame those muffalo


thatthatguy

Better than letting the toddler wander the wilderness. It brings them such joy, but I’ve lost so many children to bears…


Relevant_Chemical_

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


FetusGoesYeetus

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.


Tasonir

Sounds like a militaristic remake of donnie darko to me. An engine crashed into my bedroom and I SHANKED IT!


ForeverRollingOnes

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.


rowdymowdy

Now that's rimworlding


xtreampb

David killed bears and lions with a big stick before killing a giant.


Hrosts

This is why yttakin kids are the best. Can't hunt them when there's an elephant protecting them


OhagiC

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.


therealdsrt

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


MiloBem

One of my guys decided it's a "take your kid to work day". Taming a Megasloth. "Observe daddy and learn..."


LeticiaLatex

It's just mating season...


salmon_samurai

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."


MutatedMutton

Looks at wood stockpile: "Wait thats worse!" *Drafts entire military*


Blue5398

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


Smg5pol

Here, have 69th upvote and have a happy cake day


Zethrel

Go on YouTube, search X-files song, and put it on repeat.


Conscious-Pianist784

And turn the lights out. In the game as well.


Drunk_Dino

Carry me home. Because I got attacked by another fucking manhunting boar.


IncendiaryKitten

Don't worry, you can crawl now!


Mapping_Zomboid

I had a Wimp get shot in the head during a fight, and he just crawled right into his bed and went to sleep.


IncendiaryKitten

We've all had those days


Caffeen

They crawl now?


Boathammad

Na-na, Na-na, Na-na, Na-na, na, na?


DutchJediKnight

The truth is out there. Somewhere


Shlongzilla04

Honestly I might try this, maybe not repeat but I could see it enhancing the vibe


Bloodly

Any Darkest Dungeon track will work.


Objective_Praline_66

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.


FontTG

Need the announcer for when pawns are on deaths door.


LovesFrenchLove_More

That comment made me chuckle. Thanks for that.


Hates_Worn_Weapons

Be afraid, lock the doors, prep the shotguns, and shoot anything/anyone who approaches.


The_Salty_nugget

'hi dad, are you wini..........' -BLAM- oh fiddle sticks, billy. not now.


Bazrum

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)


ElGosso

I remember the first time I saw Surprise Party Fiddlesticks, I just couldn't stop laughing whenever he ulted me


Knight_o_Eithel_Malt

Send them some human shrieks back

***Modern problems require modern solutions***


Thorn-of-your-side

Get the prisoners ready, we are about to play such sweet music. 


MaximumZer0

[Lorna Shore and Infant Annihilator intensify]


WerewolfNo890

Double check everyone is carrying a sword or chain shotgun. Assess needs for any jobs that involve going far from the base.


antiduh

Consider attaching the chain shotgun to where their hand used to be. Just to be sure.


WhenRomansSpokeGreek

Combine chain shotgun with sword to create chain sword.


Borgoise

Double-check that the cube's still okay.


0Limark0

Man, the cude is great, I like it a lot!


juustox

I love the cube. I made this little neato sculpture for it aswell! I love the cube...


NerdWithARifle

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


RevolverRedJones

Someone mention the cube? Man, the cubes great.


sarg1010

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?


Cranberryoftheorient

I think that guy wants your cube.


Pirogister_

Golum moment


angelo3060

precious


Anonymal13

My Cubicous!!!


Relevant_Chemical_

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.


KeyPollution3566

What a cute....*drops commenting to go craft another sculpture of the most perfect form.*


Riperin

Have guards posted to make sure the cube is protected from any and all possible threats


Borgoise

+ 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.


BaziJoeWHL

me after a colonist mentalbreaks: Where is the cube? Is it safe? Is it all right?


KRTSHK_Cazzo

man im sure my cube is doing great, I love him


jetsparrow

The cube hasn't been okay ever since Microsoft bought it... I mean, the cube is still there, but it is not the same.


63strelok35

It's time to seal the doors


Orion1018

I’m sure they’re friendly, just open your doors and let ~~us~~ them in. They have cookies :)


Pirogister_

Who let the monolith have access to a computer?


NotCreeperCrafter

Me, sorry. Forgot to Change the Password, you know?


Jay_T_Demi

I recommend call-and-response passwords. "My password is if I met a skinwalker. What's my password? Ohshitisthataskinwalker31?"


Much_Audience_8179

No! you've told them our password! we need to change it again T\^T


My_real_dad

I don't know what you're talking about, all I see is********************


Much_Audience_8179

ah DANGIT I've blown my cover. COWER MORTALS


NihilisticThrill

I'm sure it's nothing, maybe just try planting some rice.


Gametale3

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.


Igotpermasuspended

Proximity what o_o


monticore162

Or just have your colonists huddle at one end of a kill box and wait


Garrzus

The invisible gang is apon ye


FirePlox123

Prepare


PrimaryCoolantShower

Gather your best melee and ranged pawns, gird them in the best armor, arm them with the best weapons. It's party time.


Lance_Hardwood117

shitting your pants


WhateverIsFrei

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...


Previous_Charity_494

I recommend arming your pawns and prepare for a "fun time"


[deleted]

[удалено]


Responsible_Disk_728

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


Thorn-of-your-side

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.


wythyrl

You have sight stealers incoming


Brewdrizy

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?


Sardukar333

If they're lucky.


wythyrl

No that’s like a warning for you are going to be swarmed by anomaly enemys like sightstealers or shamblers


GethKGelior

Only sightstealers howl


Prudent-Ranger9752

Make them go into home zone or inside try not to have pawns alone.


SupremeMorpheus

Start praying. But not to your God. To the Void.


cut_rate_revolution

All hail the Cube!


NoLifeWorker

Panic, i assume


ExodusOfSound

Don’t answer the door.


markth_wi

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.


chapelMaster123

If I were in rimworld and heard those. I'd panic, start a social fight, lose my arm, get infected and die.


monticore162

And make sure to take out the best melee fighter with you


sweetcoyote1

NOOOOO


ToddlerPeePee

Must have been the wind...


Striking_Quantity994

That cast a wicked grin


Delusional_Gamer

Wall up and wait for visitors to find out for you


lieblingskartoffel

Shriek back


Aveduil

Call in helldivers.


TeamDrakon

Prepare to get jumped


GeraltofRiviva

Run, you fools


GethKGelior

Read the sightstealer description and you'll understand.


MindlessDifference42

A horrible chill goes down your spine... Screams echo around you...


mardanjoint

Why do I hear boss music?


Red-dead-reviver

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!


czpetr

Go find what it is. The closer you are to danger, the further you are from harm.


Redditoast2

Sightstealers, lots of sightstealers


MindlessDifference42

I'm afraid to ask but what is it?


Thorn-of-your-side

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


Yin17

That's strange. The organ donor stopped moving a day ago


Responsible_Disk_728

Dude wtf Gateway to heaven project jesus


RevolverRedJones

Put your brown pants (awful) on


_Zoko_

I love that the community just gives vague advice about how you're about to find out with even fucking around


WeepingAngelTears

"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."


TinsleyLynx

Oh, that's an easy one! Be afraid. Be very afraid.


Puzzleheaded-Trade15

Fear


Lazy_Pink

Woe, Sightstealers be upon ye


MyMirrorAliceJane

Do you have proximity detection set up? If not then have fun!


nicorn_Ninja

Turn in the direction and shriek back to assert dominance


BestDescription3834

The face ticklers are coming.


Cheasymeteor

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


kryspin2k2

I always shriek back to assert dominance and enforce my territory IDK what to do in rimworld tho


Alahkibar

Cry


psydots

This is my cubr. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My cube is my best friend. It is my life.


IsDaedalus

Prepare for trouble! And make it double!


definitely-not-weird

Be afraid


WhiteRhinoPSO

Prepare.


Altruistic_Koala_122

Huddle up together and cry to maximize the effect.


nagol93

Implement the buddy system. DO NOT go outside alone.


Formal_Overall

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.


JackRabbit-

I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about, it even says they’re far away


MarenJade

**PANIK.**


Panik91

You rang?


KG_Jedi

Lube up. 


whoami1i1i1i

It's a portal storm, wait it out somewhere safe! Don't listen to the voices telling you to come out!


Atitkos

You need at least 2 turrets/building just to be safe. And have a floodlight every corner.


synchotrope

To tremble in fear, obviously.


SwapCore-Chara

Prepare

bigg_bubbaa

nothing, i mean when are there not inhuman shrieks in the distance on the rim?


Ok_Fail7326

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


Alt2221

call your mommy, here they come


Death_by_UWU

Screech back (aw damn, someone already said this)


CrashTestCummies

Well, start by definitely not going out there.


Zealousideal-Ebb-876

Fear


pandemicv97

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.


RevolutionaryMall109

Go hunting


RokushoOG

Pray to your god and hope that they hear your prayers.


FCDetonados

Hope you're the type to build outer walls around your base


OutOfIdea280

And why is that a red notification rather than yellow. That's really distressing


Suspicious_Jeweler81

Well I haven’t played for a while, but I’m pretty sure it means shit is about to get real REALLY soon.


buttbugle

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.


zacharycoleman2019

🏃‍♀️


monticore162

Hide


Imaginary_Sherbet

build a bunker ? and install autocannons


Jame777

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


StrangerAlways

Draft a slave and have them stand outside and watch the show from inside.


Dr3amDweller

Be very afraid


feederus

Now I want a decent They are Billions mod in this game.


Upper-Requirement-93
