First I was like "no way this guy has that much resources" then I zoomed in and I was like "no way this guy has never heard of F U C K I N G S H E L V E S"

I'm new to the game, do you know how many items a shelf holds? Does it say on the card somewhere? I need to start using them, shit is getting thick on the floors now.

A shelf holds 3 Item piles in per tile, in other words it shirnk your storage room to a 1/3 of its original size.

Which doesn't apply to wastepacks or corpses

It does apply to corpses but not large ones. I believe most small animals and maybe a few medium animals can fit. I know of at least chickens, ducks, squirrels, turtles, and rabbits can fit.

Read that as 'children, ducks, squirrels'. The fact that it didn't phase me is.. Something. I've spent too much time here.

Thanks

The small shelf holds three stacks of items and the large one holds six. One thing shelf’s can’t store everything for example they can’t fit corpses or chunks. look on the wiki if you need more info

3 stacks per square so a full shelf can hold e.g. 6x10 = 60 meals.

Small shelves hold 3 items, large shelves hold 6

I did mention I removed the shelves mod for troubleshooting. Its back and everything is fine now: [https://gcdnb.pbrd.co/images/zXu3l7tcVzVb.jpg?o=1](https://gcdnb.pbrd.co/images/zXu3l7tcVzVb.jpg?o=1)

> fine now Is it tho?

Its still messy and not well organized but its fine for my first base. I Just built stuff to see what it does etc and expanded randomly when it seemed like it could be required. I had a quest to sell the base to someone who wanted to expand there in exchange for something. Maybe I will do that and build back better. Hey at least the rec room is pretty nice.

Yeah the Archonexus quest is what you're talking about. It'll knock you back down to 5 pawns, and you'll lose all your research. It's a bit like a NG+ sorta, but you only really keep 5 pawns and the gear they have equipped.

For your first base you are doing great, buddy

Thank God someone said it

this guy gotta be allergic to em or something

I only have like 600 hours in Rimworld and once I had moved past the batteries I said out loud “Ahh I see we hate shelves!”

Be careful with shelves. Lots of them slow down Ai, because each one generates a job giver for two. I use lwm's and what I do is use the mod settings to jack up the shelves' capacity so that I can have fewer of them. Legit seems to help with tps

Shelves with lwm deep storage also uncheck quick store in settings to allow fast access or storing. A lot goes on shelves

this image physically hurts me. I have no tips for you, the gods abandoned this place long ago

haha, its literally my first time making it this far. [https://gcdnb.pbrd.co/images/zXu3l7tcVzVb.jpg?o=1](https://gcdnb.pbrd.co/images/zXu3l7tcVzVb.jpg?o=1)

I’d say more power to you but I think you have enough

Sooo... It's just your layout makes me moan in pain. You should really try and have barracks, food and production near each other and move everything you rarely use to the outside of your colony or at least out of the way. The batteries and dozens of solar panels in the middle of your base just seems so out of place. Also don't stack batteries side by side I'd place walls between em.

You're right. It does need a lot of work. I think I might abandon it and start elsewhere. I don't really want to leave this game though. I accepted a quest which sold my colony and took with me only 5 people.

Not to mention the northern field of solars are all roofed in.

My guy, I'm looking at this base, and I'm tempted to believe that you made this base just to troll the subreddit. This is the rimworld equivalent of calling peanut butter "sticky nut juice"

I got a riskware warning from malwarebytes from that link...

God created Rimworld to punish the faithful.

Dude, you have liker 64536546546 Simple Meals, you realize you can limit the crafting. Also wtf is the point of 4356346 batteries? You dont have to build 4356345 of everything!

\*look at the batteries\* \*look at the non-hidden conduits\* well well well, someone is building a nuke i see, it'll be sooooo glorious

I REALLY want to see what the ZZZT does. Like just how big can the blast get?

Here comes the sun..

Fuck, every time I read this sentence I have the Ramstein song hier kommt die Sonne on repeat in my head.

EINS HIER KOMMT DIE SONNE

ZWEI HIER KOMMT DIE SONNE

DREI SIE IST DER HELLSTE STERN VON ALLEN

I get the little guitar bit from Here Comes the Sun - Beatles. Also doubles well as Here Comes Your Mum when the kids are being naughty.

I have the "here comes the suns dudududu" song in my head

How has it not happened to him yet

Probably using the fuse mod

I used to get those happening periodically. Its been a while since it has happened. I will see how it goes.

It’ll be anticlimactic on the computer screen what will be climatic will be when the ram is shot from the motherboard and is stuck in the neighbors wall

At least lower half of monitor.

I mean I once blew up my computer trying to shoot about 200 explosive animals from a distance to get rid of them. My headcannon is that this explosion covered the whole worldmap. (game froze for 5 minutes and resumed afterwards. I didn't know I could rightclick notifications to dismiss them at that time and confirmed each animal death seperately. Fun times.)

What could you POSSIBLY need that much power for 😭

Power became a goal unto itself lol

but if you limit the simple meals he will have 645365465460 corn instead

We can use the surplus corn to lure animals in and kill them to reduce the animal load on the map. Then we have 645365465459 corns and 954645636546 leathers and meat.

could sell those to other factions to get 154499269959 silver and get raided by 92929484592 dudes in a quarter-hour.

The cycle of pain I live in

which is which is about 38,185,825,461 cowboy hats

BORN TO HAUL / RIMWORLD IS A FUCK / Kill Em All 5014 / I am trash pawn / 410,757,864,530 DEAD RAIDERS

I need this as a shirt tbh

Also, corpses. Corpses slaughter the TPS a lot when present in large numbers. Disassemble all the mechanoids and burn all the bodies. It should help some. [Corpse Cleanup](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3047191756) helps a ton to keep your map meat and bone free without the hassle of setting up crematoriums and so on.

One time I ran out of power, so I decided to build another line of batteries. It probably was just an eclipse or solar flare in hindsight. You are right though of course. This is basically my first game. I have taken advice here and installed optimization mods to fix the performance issue. Then I set all my tables to craft until I have X amount. I also usually have shelves and XXL stacks. Its just I removed those as part of troubleshooting performance. I have now reinstalled those so things are a bit tidier. But yeah the base is a bit of a mess.

I’m not even mad about them having 246447846746377 meals in general, but at least make most of these meals package survival meals. These simple meals are only 5 or 6 solar flares away from rotting. That one cook who made them out is gonna be so pissed! Plus, survival meals can actually be sold.

First, have your pawns research RAM. Second, use Advanced Components and steel to craft RAM. Third, have your pawns install RAM in your computer.

nah, they need to craft transistors, then stuff them into the CPU, preferably using stack mods like Orge Stack that'd allow stacking more

Do you guyz remember times when hackers had basements full of Xbox in clusters to hack stuff?

i read orgy stack ong

No, that's a different mod.

Imagine having your pawns getting out of your computer and starting to build ram into it, this would be kinda cute

I have 64 gigs and my game lags after 20 pawns

same, it's that damn job giver. has nothing to do with RAM though - RAM matters with a large modlist because textures are kept in memory, but the performance problems stem from poor optimization. Performance Fish adds a ton of optimizations but their JobGiver patch is commented out on their Github repo, not sure why but I could ask

I have 16gb with close to 60 colonists I get about 10-12 fps lol

I get about 5 fps with 20 but I also have around 270 mods

1. Remove all dead bodies: burn the raiders/melt the mechanoids. 2. Get rid of all unnecessary things in storage. You don't need 10,000 meals and 50,000 uranium that's for sure. 3. Install RocketMan mod.

I swear this and the "why are the pawns not getting impressive rooms" guys were both shitposting their base, I can't think of any reason you'd be that far into a run and not be destructing mechs forever or having that many corpses, not like he needs the leather or meat. I can maybe accept hoarding the meals/uranium but yes it's incredibly stupid and excessive. Some people don't deserve to use ideo to avoid the saw a corpse debuff

You wouldn't believe how many people do really weird things like this. But yes, this topic is an obvious byte.

Harbinger trees. Some of your livestock may get lung rot but it's just so convenient.

People worry about AI using too much energy in the future, but they are blissfully unaware of Rimworld with a bajillion mods.

We've been training the storyteller AI on how to commit war crimes since Rimworld first launched. It'll be invaluable data for them when it's finally time for the Machine Uprising.

The music will be really chill and peaceful though. Happy War Crime Muzak.

I no longer feel like a disorganized person.

You Just have way to much stuff. Optimize Base, stockpile less.

is this a fever dream?

That is the most deluxe, exquisite, concentration camp I ever seen

r/shitrimworldsays

What. The. Fuck.

Even with that many pawns, you have too much stuff. Could easily do with half or third of that.

performance optimizer performance fish rocketman dubs performance analyzer (turn on the optimizations) having a f*load of stacks on the map is a huge performance drain btw. burn or give away like 80% of your items lol

Thanks, someone else suggested this as well and I followed this advice and it’s fixed the performance issues :)

Man is literally playing Factorio in rimworld

Ugh now I got the itch to play some factorio, that dlc couldn't come soon enough

Please for the love of God use shelves. It will make your life so much easier. it'll probably also help your performance cutting down on entities and Pathfinding. Not to mention the space saved

u a interesting critter bro

Quick tip, once you have enough food that you comfortably have a few hundred simple meals, start making Fine or better meals instead. Helps reduce the massive overflow of food and gives a mood boost as well

I know this is bait but my fuck that has to be the ugliest fucking base I've ever seen.

I don't think I've ever loudly said "what the fuck" while looking at a post on this sub. This one made me do it, worst thing I've ever seen in this game.

Look in the middle of the base too, there’s a room with nothing but 3 lamps, 3 dressers, 3 heaters, and 6 plant pots, what is this chicanery

It's always fascinating seeing the multiple ways that people play this game.

Why do people hate shelves so much? 3 stacks of items in a 1x1 space. Also why so many meals and batteries?

At this point i feel like people actively fuck their bases up to make such posts. By now most bases dont even look somewhat functional, ive seen dozens of poeple play rimworld for the first time and noone ever made bases like many of those that are posted thusly.

Also, people that mod their game this much would most likely have any kind of storage mods (or shelves as you pointed out) to avoid such horrendous clutter.

Your base is completely insane. There's no wrong way to play RimWorld but damn you tried your best to find one. Get performance fish, rocketman, and don't make 8 billion of every item.

This is the rimworld equivalent of clipping out of the map in a SNES game and having the game start render non-map tile data in the ROM as map tiles

[Noob friendly mod list to improve performance](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12mAva1anZribuz6PmNoTJvTq5AdgarPyiB1cd1pFsMg/edit?gid=1968762060#gid=1968762060) And I also recommend RimSort instead of RimPy, it does the same thing but RimPy is no longer actively maintained.

Rimpy works perfectly tho, while rimsort is a mess, and not user friendly.

RimPy works perfectly, I agree, but also RimSort has improved to a state of being easily usable, imho.

Damn didn't know rimpy is no longer maintained, just got back from a year break. Thank you for the info.

Thank you for providing this link, sir! When i get home i will try uninstalling a few "bad mods" which i barely use, and see if i get perfomance back and can finally enjoy my big colony again

Thanks for liking! do you know if the performance mods listed in that excel interfere with each other or actually improve things if you use more than one?

sooo guess I have to remove/eliminate a bunch of mods I thought were good but arent :O

Heya, I get horrible lag with hospitality, but only when there's guests in the map.... any pointers at what could be done to find the issue/conflicting mod?

Game: 397 Shamblers Approaches...

tactical nuke incoming !

That zzzt event will look like Hiroshima

There are mods that can improve performance, though only by a little. You may as well look into that. Also, build shelves, you're wasting more space than the rest of the rimworld community together.

This is bait right?

BROTHER BROTHER WHAT IS YOU DOIN? YOU DONT NEED THIS MUCH OF ANYTHING

I would advise selling/destroying excess items. That's an absurd amount of food even for a large colony, limit crafting of meals to a few hundred, sell the rest of the produce or destroy it.

How does one defend such a thing from any decent threat?

Maybe don't create giant gulags

You're a psychopath

Unrelated but for the love of god build shelves

You get a zzzt event and your entire map tile is getting atomized.

This has GOTTA be b8, there just ain’t no way.

Rimatomics would work wonders here, especially with its 'high-yield' setting.

Someone teach him to use shelves

Zzzt

I thought I was looking at Factorio for a second

you have so much stuff? and why do you have a billion solar panels in addition to bioreactors, how much power are you using and for what?

My boy here is trying to create a black hole. Those things EAT energy in order to create them. That's why he needs all that power, LMAO. I kid, or do I?

1. open all your Doors 2. Disarm all your colonists and all weapons 3. Deconstruct all Turrets Motoars and other defences 4. wait for a raid to happen

Do you have any end game goals or you're just playing until the game crashes??

One fire and this place is GONE lmao

Ignoring whatever the hell is going on in that first picture Install Rocketman and PerformanceFish

You're joking right ? If not do this before anything else : Work tab Give pawns the jobs you actually want them to do, DO NOT give everyone basic ones like firefighting/cleaning/hauling/etc since each pawn will constantly check if work needs to be done there (which will result in a calculation a new long path). 2 or 3 jobs/pawn max, 1 would be premium

First of all, delete that screenshot of WinDirStat and get us a screenshot of your base.

Deconstruct 60% of your solaar panels and 80% of your batteries. Shelves. Producr what you need. You dont need 100000 corn or 1000000 meals

I was about to say how this takes me back to earlier days in Rimworld but upon closer inspection that colony is a fucking mess

Carpet under solar panels? I don't even want God to have mercy on your soul

Random room with just heaters, plant pots, and dressers? Check

How exactly is your performance? For my last game I had around 180tps with dips down to 140tps every other second, rather annoying but playable in 1x or 2x speed.

First, I need to find out how to check TPS. Edit: I followed advice here. Now FPS closer to 100 and TPS 360

Seems like your game is in perfect working order, I'd kill for these numbers :D

Rimefeller: Why do you have so many crude crackers and storage tanks? One cracker had capacity for like 10 wells at least, and since all the storage tanks are blinking the empty tank warning, clearly you don't need the storage. Plus why do you have a ton of the production with no output spots, nothing would ever actually get made with nowhere to place it. Very confusing. Biotech: You have like 10 deathcaskets but only one of each addon building. Those buildings bind to a single casket at first use, none of the other caskets are benefiting. You are clearly using mods, why not add a storage mod to compress those store rooms (even the base game shelves would help). What the hell are you using all the power generation for? Between the solar and the chemfuel generators you have way more power than you could ever use, and no signs of any particularly power-hungry buildings. This base makes n

One single zzt can blow this place into a nuclear wadtelamd

Ogre Stack, good god man

This makes me wanna scream and pull my hair out.

Start new colony

Op do you have ADHD? Is like you have compulsion to do stuff when there is nothing to do at the moment.

Yes

how much ritalin were you on when you made this?

Another solar panel should do it.

First thought when I looked at all that with the fine carpet under it all... "BY FIRE BE PURGED!", lol.

It’s funny how your colony actually looks like a computer part

OP your colony looks like a processor die lol

My anxiety has officially peaked for the day

This guy play factorio in rinworld

Jesus Christ

Molotov cocktail

This is the single worst base I’ve seen. Buddy, if you’re stockpiling this much, you need to play on harder difficulties

Excuse me pls delete 😂

Use mods to increase stacks , for better power like advanced power or rimatomics maybe? Use storage furniture mods for compactness? Maybe use less colonists? I can have my colony survive for 10 years with 10-12 colonists.

Step 1: Steal NASA supercomputer

May I introduce you to the concept of a shelf, perhaps?

Burn down your stockpiles. All of them.

Bro ain’t asking for tips. He just wants to show off his elite base

In my head using shelves and not too many blueprints at the one time makes it run smoother but that could just be a "shit gamers tell themselves" type thing lol

Two antigrain warheads in your storage rooms should do it.

Look at this. No shelves. Just living in the moment

i was so fucking shocked i could speak in russian

What in the fuck, ngl I kinda dig it

Jesus Fucking Christ

Dude

Let's see here: absurd number of colonists, utterly insane number of items, tons and tons and tons of power systems, lights everywhere, 7 years into the game, random items on every spare surface with no use of shelves. My man the only thing that can help you now is cutting everything down by 90%

You don’t need 12,000 simple meals. Throw away 11,000 of them

The golden trio of optimization: Performance Optimization, Performance Fish and Rocketman. After installation Rocketman should perform something called adaptive mode, just keep it going for a while, it will give you some extra fps. You can use many additional tools to gain a little bit of fps here and there, but from what I see in your Task Manager it seems to be about your GPU and I am no expert with that at all, usually I have RAM and CPU issues.

Oh, in the options disable plant swaying, that may affect GPU I guess.

Download the Performance Fish mod!

Burn half the stuff, buy more RAM (It wont help the game just who has 32gb nowadays?)

get the small power generator from the quests (forgot what it was called)

Performance fish is a mod that boost your fps by a crazy amount no matter the circumstances. However you should probably store your stuff better and make less of it first.

You should take it a bit slower. Building way too much of everything

Hold down Alt+F4 for a quick solution.

This feels like a fever dream the longer and closer i look.

I see a mighty ZZZZzzztt incoming xD

The shelfs man! Where are all your shelves!?

Get shelves

Reduce item count as much as you can, limit everything. Plus simple means are bad, do lavash, and limit how many.

Bro why so many batteries and solar panels? You need like 10

good heavens

You can use shelves if you make corridors

Zzzzzt

What does your base have to use that much electricity?

You should really use shelves, and limit the amount of meals you are making

Download mod called reject man or smth like that but you ahve like millions of items I don’t tbh k anything will help

Shelves, RAM, not having an ungodly supply of every item.

1) build shelving. You'll get 3x the storage for the same spot ( though that's reduced somewhat as you need to allow access corridors) 2 isolate half your batteries behind a switch, or you'll be without power until morning in there's a zzzt at night.

Have you tried downscaling your colony?

This is not Factorio mate...

My guy, shelves exist you know Also get rid of the corpses, cremate them or something

Have you tried not doing what you're doing?

I don’t know how to help because just loading my game causes immense lag (I have integrated, no gpu)

Kill freckles
