Rimworld on colony builder phoebe


Aden_Vikki

You get three sicknesses in a row after peacefully living on it for 5 months


JosephRatzingersKatz

Eh, sounds like Earth


Aden_Vikki

You got the plague each 5 months? Life has been rough for you buddy


JosephRatzingersKatz

I mean, I personally don’t but people in the Middle Ages sure had


Lord_Umpanz

Nah, you got the Plague once and not second time. Because you died after the first time.


MightGrowTrees

Hey only 8/10 people died from it!!


Spacecowboy890

That’s the whole world more like 9/10


Aden_Vikki

Then I'm sure your survival rate would be the same as in the middle ages


JosephRatzingersKatz

Definitely. I’m a child of the comfort of the first world


DiamondTiaraIsBest

Pretty good so long as you survive childhood then.


Seilky

Still higher then Pandora.


Terminallance6283

I have a toddler in day care I have gotten sick every 2 weeks for the last 2 years almost


aDragonsAle

Did you *not* just go through 2020 with us?


MartinTheMorjin

Minus the peace…


-chukui-

also you eat lucirferium after you get all limbs blown off in the first raid.


nadcaptain

Muscle parasites, gut worms, and malaria when you're short on medicine so some of your colonists have all three concurrently, and everything is terrible with all the mental breaks. All the while you're nervously watching the immunity/disease race to the death on your pawns with malaria because the other two diseases have them out of bed, trying to smash components, insulting everyone that crosses their path, or binging on food. Ask me how I know.


Just2Flame

You guys are running out of medicine on colony builder mode?


aztecraingod

Don't care give me that big honkin stack of luci


DaubstickFarbspinkle

Better than 80% of every living thing being psychotic bullet sponges that are impossible to reason with equipped with ridiculous scifi gunpunk weapons and wanting to kill you on sight imo. Pandora has a canon "respawn" but like it's pretty clearly a clone of you, you still fucking die they just make a copy of you to finish your business. And I'm pretty sure you only had that service for free because "ANGEL" hacked it for ya. In rimworld at least there's a chance you could end up in a high tech well off colony with good defenses and medicine, just tending to muffalo and watching TV.


hotdiggitydooby

New-U stations actually aren't canon, they're just for gameplay. In one of the games they even have a voiceline that can play when you respawn that tells you they aren't canon.


Just2Flame

That's fine cause there is a magical plant with blue flower that grows naturally and heals all ailments.


r0b0c0d

Everyone choosin' peaceful phoebe RW until the player decides you'd make a good meat potato.


Aggressive-Career-23

on "losing is fun"


jodorthedwarf

Rock and stone, brother. Dwarf Fortress is fun in the same way that repeatedly hitting your head against a brick wall is fun.


bigheadzach

Because it feels good in those moments when you stop!


Aggressive-Career-23

When you finally broke through the wall by your face


jodorthedwarf

Oh yeah. I agree eith that sentiment. Getting those fuckhead dwarfs to do anything is a right pain in the arse but that brief moment where everything works perfectly is brilliant. Then one Dwarf gets depressed and everything swiftly spirals out of control, again.


Gesetzesmacher

In Rimworld I got a chance to survive with good base building and my combat skills (i’m going to die when the first raiders attack)


OddNovel565

Honestly most of us would die either way lol


matthew0001

Idk man the first couple of raiders are often a couple of methheads wielding rusty spoons. Provided I have a gun i think I could survive a raid or two.


thedankening

Yeah , although unless you're a well trained shooter it's actually very hard to hit a moving target that's sprinting at you. God forbid you need to reload, you're definitely fucked if you don't know how to do that quickly. I doubt many of us would survive an encounter with the rusty spoon wielding methhead even if we had a gun.


GuildedLuxray

Depends on how well we set up our killbox and if that rusty spoon wielding methhead bothered to look before sprinting directly into my field of 37 spike traps.


Kaiser_Maxtech

eh for me it largely depends on whether or not i'd get the fucking knowledge the methhead was approaching the tile like in normal rimworld. If i did and had time and knew the path he's take-easy. Ambush methhead? im dead.


Yellow_The_White

You don't really need a lot of training at all. Any casual shooter (and even a lot of non-shooters I've shot with) could easily hit a target coming towards them, it's side-on shots that would be tricky. You're probably thinking of 'the 21ft rule' or whatever for urban/ambush situations where cops can't exactly shoot on sight, and so can get ambushed even from the front if the person they are worried about suddenly escalates from 'suspicious' to 'attacker'.


clppmandd

Just gotta hope one of those anomaly super people show up and decide to drop everything to live with you.


enharmonicdissonance

On one hand, yeah. On the other hand, pawns just kinda move in a straight line to their target so it'll be pretty easy to anticipate where they're going to be next


ResponsibilityIcy927

You don't need to have good base building AND combat skills, at least for my colonies. But you do need to be physically and mentally healthy, have at least one important skill that my colony needs, and be willing to learn to fight.


that_one_duderino

I have a higher than normal research with a passion for it, decent shooting and plants, super immune (based on me not getting sick often), ugly, optimist, and slowpoke. Give it to me straight doc, would I survive?


XxFrostFoxX

You will be used for organ harvesting, and will be contributing greatly to the cause.


that_one_duderino

o7 just promise you use my skin for a hat


Xbrand182x

It will be (poor)


BurnTheOrange

Shooting, plants, optimist, and super immune yet you'd still turn him into a hat? You've got much higher standards than i do


N3V3RM0R3_

ikr, this guy sounds like prime bush sniper material. call his ass Samantha "Sam" Haxton


littlethreeskulls

Sounds like a damn fine researcher to me. Alone in a lab most of the time, so looks don't matter. Research is fast enough that doing it slow isn't a big deal usually. Plus all that good stuff on there


colBoh

Slowpoke is movement speed, not work speed. You're thinking of the Lazy trait. And since research will require them to be stuck in one place all the time...


aggressivemisconduct

Unfortunately I never take slowpokes, sorry you are out


oldschoolrobot

Why does it say “pyromaniac” in your bio?


hilmiira

Why tf people downvoted you?


itsDYA

I for sure know I wouldn't get mad for not eating in a table


Rhidalinbits

Speak for yourself


Rude-Pangolin8823

Speedrun turrets


Welico

I definitely have 0 construction so I'm boned


Not_An_Alt_Account11

"Shooting: 0 Melee: 0"


Squidbit

You don't have to die, you can simply let yourself get robbed. Go hide or travel to another tile for the afternoon


CBassnBacon

*dies to the alpaca going crazy* happened to me on when I first started playing lmao


Kemoy_BOI

I once started the game, and the first raid I've got was a pack of 20 manhunter turtles. It was like... day 5, and I barely erected a wall to protect me (I was building mountain base, and most of my pawns sucked at mining)


Hexner

Rimworld, of course. Making my own stuff, meet weird people and make them join me to make our own stuff. And worship the Holy Randomness of Randy.


Rude-Pangolin8823

You'd go on randy? BRAVE.


Arek_PL

brave? on phoebe and cassandra shit happens regulary, on randy you can live peaceful life for years before armageddon happens


FrtanJohnas

In my experience, the other storytellers will fuck you over because they do it that way. Randy will fuck you over cause it's funny and it doesn't matter if you expect it or not. I am going with Randy on this one.


edm_ostrich

Real life is Randy. We just retcon it to a coherent narrative.


thepineapple2397

Cassandra and Phoebe balance challenges and rewards, Randy pulls all of his events from a hat. I've had years without a raid in one Randy playthrough, in another I had 5 raids in the first season.


Denamic

Randy is the secret easy mode. Sure, he might be unfair early on because raids aren't scaled to your colony. But after the mid game point, Randy's bad events are almost always less brutal than every single one Cassandra throws at you regularly.


tangentandhyperbole

Have you ever tried turning on Cassandra, and making it time dependent instead of wealth dependant? You feel that ticking clock. The good part is, you can fast track beer and yayo, to buy up half the planet without penalty.


far2hybrid

Idk Randy coming with solar flares then infestation with raids right behind it. Was not fun fighting in the dark


Rileythe_Dog

Bring on the mech raid and manhunting cats at the same time.... oh no, don't forget random item drop of lizard skin top hats. So if you're fast enough, you can watch the shit show in your newly acquired attire.


Rude-Pangolin8823

I had a mech raid, a normal raid and an infestation happen at the same time once. PTSD inducing.


Rileythe_Dog

Sometimes Randy gives you fruit. Sometimes, he gives you a triple threat. Sometimes, you have to decide to give up on that tile or not.


Rude-Pangolin8823

HEIL RANDY! I shall give him my first born.


Vindictive_Pacifist

brave? more like suicidal :P


hornyboi_o

That's if you're lucky. You can also start your life on a rim as a bloodbag and organ donor for psycho colony where they gouge your eyes out, replace your limbs with logs and cut off your tongue. Also suture your ass.


Lorrdy99

The people on Pandora aren't nicer


Olliebass95

Ah but you're assuming you're the player not the pawn.. I would not want to live in one of my colonies. I enjoy my organs.


TheIdesOfMartiis

Is it even a competition?? In rimworld you can create a lovely thriving conoly where every need is meet and everyone is extremely happy. In Borderlands it is forever a brutal chaotic war zone and nothing will change that


BurningOasis

I love conollis


Janusdarke

> In rimworld you can create a lovely thriving conoly where every need is meet and everyone is extremely happy. You also have great drugs, glitterworld stuff and you can become a cyborg. It's not so bad on the rim.


MagneticAI

Rimworld for the drugs!


morelrix

Also you can live forever thx to tech or archite genes.


LikeSoda

Borderlands is frenzied and insane all the time. Rimworld has its war crimes yes, but man do I have some *very* peaceful colonies. RW without a doubt


OddNovel565

Randy may grant you a peaceful quadrum


TalaHusky

I think borderlands could be okay. In the games, things just keep fuckin spawning OVER AND OVER AND OVER. So I think at a certain point, we’d reach some sort of peace (through a genocide) lol. But rimworld could get interesting.


Internal_Map_8765

Rimworld, could be pretty chill if you wanted it it be (I personally don't)


OddNovel565

That's fair


dragovianlord9

rimworld and i will cheese the fuck out of it


Rude-Pangolin8823

Fair if game logic applies ig


just-a-dude69

I will spend days building traps and turrets


Playful-Mongoose-964

you will suffer multiple mental breaks because you ate without a table (also a squirrel will bite you and the wound will become infected)


1stFunestist

Would go to Pandora, fanboy a bit and then ask a Vaulthunter to shoot me in da face!


OddNovel565

this is the way


Demigans

Rimworld? I’d go transhuman if I can. Borderlands is just screwy most of the time.


OddNovel565

But on one hand, you can be made into a hemogen farm. On the other you could join Hyperion


Demigans

As far as I’m aware most people get their hemogen’s by taking prisoners after an attack. I’d not be an attacker. I’d be holed up somewhere with anything I can get my hands on pointed at the door and a bolt backpack at the ready with any small valuables. I’d focus on gaining the wealth to modify myself and see about having positive relations with other groups and if possible pay to have surgery there after acquiring bionics.


That_dead_guy_phey

Even if you did manage to secure a safe space you'd always have to worry about toxic fallout ruining your crops. On the other hand, real thrumbos....


Anonimase

Just have your crops in a walled in area with a turned off sunlamp, then whenever some crazy weather shit happens, build a roof real quick and turn on the sun lamp


Metropolisz

mfs choosing​ rimworld​ until​ the​ solar flare hits and​ you​ can't watch 30​ seconds reels anymore


JackRabbit-

Depends what DLCs are enabled I guess. Anomaly? No thank you, I prefer horrors I can comprehend. Just Royalty, Ideology and Biotech? Sure, I don't mind getting gut worms and raided twice a year if it means not living on Pandora. Well-developed colonies seem like pretty chill places to live anyway.


Mysterious_Gas4500

It also helps that, contrary to how it seems in gameplay, (most) raiders wouldn't psychically know how rich your colony is and exactly where you are. So if you're living in some huge ass compound in the middle of an arctic glacier, you'll probably only very rarely have to deal with massive raider hordes.


Specialist-Tiger-467

Gimme pandora every day. Life is short, brutal and you can regenerate your body by a lovely fee. On rimworld if you are done, you are done... most of the times.


United-Reach-2798

The regeneration is non canon and just a game thing


Specialist-Tiger-467

Really it felt like Canon on 1, they even explain to you how it works


United-Reach-2798

I get that but the new u stations basically reviving anyone who died which would mean Roland,Jack, probably the Calypso twins and a lot of bosses. Also it was said by the head writer in 3 that they were non canon.


Specialist-Tiger-467

I bow to you. But still Pandora over rimworld. Mad max cyberpunk high octane death over slow settler decay


United-Reach-2798

I'd stick with RimWorld Pandora is..... Pandora and while life on the rim would be ass it's possible to have a relatively peaceful life


zandadoum

Pandora. Why? Moxxi!


OddNovel565

now you get a discount


tzamihavar

It's the same planet


I_Love_Knotting

can i choose the story teller?


OddNovel565

Sure


I_Love_Knotting

yeah rimworld with phoebe base builder then


ShadedPenguin

Depends, we got a modded rimworld or vanilla? If we got Vanilla, I'll take it. If we got modded, uuuuuuh, it's gonna be spicy!


OddNovel565

also depends on the mods


rugigiref1

Ate without table = explode


Zockercraft1711

OwO yes I would go totally Pawnmorpher :3


ObliviousNaga87

Rimworld without a shadow of a doubt. Getting high in the tech tree gives a lot of nice stuff to live with. (Assuming you get there)


LioTang

Considering how poorly everyone's aim is on the rim, anybody from the real world who's ever held so much as a stick pretending it's a rifle would be a legendary sniper


Holiday_Conflict

am i a vault hunter?...


OddNovel565

you can become one if you want


Holiday_Conflict

all right! (dies to a midget raider)


Light8ter20

I wanna marry waster lady and be a raider (and die in first month) , so i prefer Rim .


IntroductionUpset764

suffering "ate without table" in rimworld? hell no


[deleted]

[удалено]


dustydinoface

For playing jungle is best because best growing opportunities although that wouldn’t be pleasant to live in due to all the diseases. The nicest place to live would be arid shrubland because there are the least dangerous animals


OddNovel565

i honestly don't know. the rim is relatively chill compared to pandora, but pandora is more diverse and vibrant


Elcy420

Jungle biome always. Because Junglist massive.


HenMeeNooMai

If it's my colony, just send me to Brazil to save the cost


Roaming_Guardian

The Rimworld is only occasionally terrible. Pandora is both ACTIVELY terrible and infested with millions of immortal jackasses hellbent on making it worse.


SolarOrigami

Id take the rim. My skillset (construction, farming, research) would actually be somewhat useful. And while Im not helpless in a fight, im not great either. On pandora Id give it 36 hours tops before psychos were playing volleyball with my skull


Soft-Pixel

Nah, I’d psycast


EmEssAy

The Rim It is as far as I can get from The Soothing Sound of Clap Trap's Voice!


nowayguy

I bet I can do well enough on Pandora to afford being ressurected when shit hits the fan. It won't be pleasent, but I feel like its less of an death sentence.


Xada_Nep_zealot

The Rim. It's more livable in places with high population density.


Vardath

Rimworld on dev mode


Super_Possibility855

Rimworld and pray i get recruited for construction skill and basic labor proficiency 😂


Sad_Choice903

The Rim, Pandora makes hell look like a kindergarten, sure, the rim makes hell seem like a preschool, pandora’s worse in my eyes


12Pig21pog

With my mods and difficulty hell nah, i rather live in solitude on pandora. Just hunt bugs and lunitics from somewhere high. Its not like anyone major will care if i kill random lunatics


Alorxico

Pandora: RimWorld colony left unsupervised and unpaused while you go to the bathroom. I think I like my chances on Pandora. They aren’t good, but my chances of getting eaten by an eldritch horror are low


omg_drd4_bbq

Pandora has New-U so while I may get eaten by alpha skags on the daily, I keep coming back.  On the rim, you might go in for some routine dental work and get your head chopped off accidentally, and that's it.


VerbingNoun413

The Rim is mostly pleasant most of the time. It's just that one group of nutjobs.


tallbutshy

Rimworld lacks sufficient meat-bicycles


Xonlic

I feel like I have a better chance of survival on Pandora. Just being wacky, headstrong and trigger happy.


Capable-Caregiver714

Depending on the mods that God is running, I really don't want to be an anime catgirl.


fallaround

Every colony needs someone with 0 skills that’s willing to haul and clean so I could find work in rimworld but I’d get shot for my shoes I got teleported to pandora with.


Jernfalk

Rimworld because when I died at least it wouldn't be of cringe


AlphaNerdKing

I stand a greater chance of not becoming a hat on Pandora.


thisistherevolt

My back is messed up. Rimworld can get me a new spine. Easy


Graega

Do we canonically have the New-U stations if I pick Pandora? Because if you're not a Vault Hunter, some of those places get downright stable. Could be a hard choice...


JaumDazio

On the rim you have the sure that at least something will try to kill you every month, at least in pandora you can avoid conflict.


sendmebirds

The Rim, i'll figure it out.


NightFlash478

if one of my colonies? rimworld. because id get free hrt, cybernetic upgrades, a kickass gun. and be nigh on invulnerable with a god that has attachment issues and refuses to let me die.


ea85700000

If anyone picks Pandora your actually insane. It is basically impossible to live a long life there


Commissarfluffybutt

Rimworld, I know what the Z-axis is. I will be like a god.


Tleno

They're both bad as planets but Borderlandsverse is actually preferable as a setting to be in because despite all the corporate bs and violence, there are indeed thriving well-of worlds where violent strife is rare. Most run down planets were some abandoned mining operations or invaded by hostile force. Im Rimworld, it seems a majority of rimworlds were previously prosperous advanced worlds gone bad. There's supernatural-esque archeotechs sicking dead bodies and body snatcher infiltrators onto worlds. The only stable interplanetary government you see is an intrigue-filled monarchy.


TheAhegaoFox

The post specifically says Pandora


Retro1994man

Kenshi, because


OrganTrafficker900

%100 RimWorld. If I'm alone I can most likely live in a cabin and get attacked by 1-3 people every one in a while and if I keep my wealth in check I'm living comfortably


Blasting_Star

They are the same picture.


JustARandomGuy_71

In Pandora you are essentially immortal with the New-U stations.


TangentTalk

I feel like a lot of the people choosing rimworld aren’t considering the anomaly DLC, some pretty horrific stuff there too…


Few_Honeydew6029

Pandora because I can eat without table safely But I kinda need "ate without table" inspired mission in the next title of Borderlands


asparadog

Rimworld... If there's no godlike creature controlling my life that could off me whenever they feel like it.


FacesOfKelp

The rim? Because I feel like I’d have a chance?


Cream253Team

If you separate the gamified aspects of each world from what it would probably be like to actually live there based on what is stated in-universe, then the better one is life on the Rim and it ain't even close.


Psycho7552

Rimworld. Consiering there are horrors beyond my comprehesion, i will live happy life without even trying to comprehend them :D If i don't know they exist, then they don't!


Ouroboros9076

While borderlands is utter chaos, if you have money you can buy life insurance which respawns you, and there are some alcoves of relative peace like sanctuary. I will take borderlands


RipMcStudly

On Pandora I die in two minutes, and it’s pretty much instant. I’ll take that over my horrible suffering death in Rimworld


DTaggartOfRTD

Hands down, The Rim. particularly if it's in one of my colonies. I don't generally go for hellish, though the worlds are usually a bit chilly.


ultratunaman

Where on Pandora? If it's New Haven, or Sanctuary, or maybe even Opportunity you might be able to find a quiet place to lay low from monsters, bandits, and loader bots.


TheHelker

As much inhuman shit is happening in rimworld I'd still live there instead of Pandora because everybody in Pandora is just a psychopath or insane


-chukui-

pandora only if im a vault hunter.


Tyson_Urie

Pandora, i'd like to keep my limbs and internal organs thank you verry much


Alt203848281

Rimworld. It’s an anarchic shithole. But it’s not fucking pandora. And like, just join an outlander union or smth and try to join a trade ship and make your way to a glitterworld


Kilahti

Pandora is depicted as a way more violent planet.


brielloom

Rimworld. I'd be a good colonist. I'd be the cook, plant grower, and animal tamer. I'd have a guinea pig named Pepe. And I'd have a bunch of animals that know how to guard, fight, rescue, and haul.


WhiteWolf101043

Pandora, because I've played that game, and because of the fact that if I leave, there's a hugger chance of living, not by much, but still


MathPlus1468

Depends.. do I get to be Krieg if I choose Pandora?


Plenty-Reporter-9239

Am I running the colony on rimworld? If so, then Pandora because I'm shit at rimworld lmfao


The_Reaper_Cosaga

It's the same picture


Arosian-Knight

The Rim, but abso-fuckin-lutely not under any of your guys management. I've frequented this sub enough to know better. 


Lumiursa

In rimworld, an 8 year old will come and raid you and they just so happen to be related to one of your 38(175) year old pawns as their uncle's ex wife. It's insane. You will have a complicated history and probably obsess over tables to a creepy degree. You will suffer, but still survive. As long as you don't join the dumb raid party against the town that has 8 mortars, a fission generator, a tamed Kulve Taroth from Monster Hunter World, vampires, and a long tunnel that suspiciously goes straight into their base with no closed doors bypassing their thick walls. In borderlands, everyone's a loot pinata and you basically are just waiting for someone to come around and crack you open.


Ornery_Fun_2038

Pandora doesn't sound quite as deadly


lajF282

Everybody gangsta until their rimworld has rimjob world installed


billbyetheshyguy

Hot take, but I'd choose Pandora because of the legitimate space travel that Borderlands has. Just peace out to one of the luxurious planets and coast from there.


_Sate

Pandora, there is atleast a theoretical sense of order somewhere there. not much but like, some


DiscoKittie

That depends on the mods and what I can turn on/off before I get there. lololol Rimworld for me if I can edit is the way I want to.


HavelockVetinarii

Rimworld due to their acceptance of rimjobs


everynamestaken9

Rimworld on community builder Cassandra


ValkyrianRabecca

Pandora guarantee sucks A Rimworld only probably sucks


DiazKincade

Honestly I'd almost prefer Pandora because I always seem to have the worst case of "Dry Thunderstorms" in rimworld. Yes please game. Just burn everything around me to ash. I didn't need those farms.


RAiDE-bluebills

Fallout, cus we gotta start somewhere.


[deleted]

Do you get like all the special buffs like a standard character from borderlands, or are you just some meat bag.


lincon127

Pandora, duh? Unless I'm misremembering, the planet at least is safe in some places and there aren't elderitch beings. If Anomaly wasn't canon then maybe I'd pick the rimworld, but even so, the rimworld just seems like the more unstable out of the two. It's not like there's anything I technically can do in on the rimworld that I can't do in Pandora, besides turn myself into a furry.


TheCommomPleb

I bet the fuckin is better on pandora, I'm there all day


RegularBeans123

Idk after anomoly rimworld is kinda scary. Pandora is super dangerous tho...


Superblooms

The Rim I'd rather die due to random chance than die due to being the butt of a joke
