Topic on Talk:Ice Sheet Guide

Jump to navigation Jump to search

RimWorld is a Colony simulation game with other genre mixes such as survival and strategy. Survival is going to dictate you to do anything to live another day and that is indisputable.

I looked at both versions of your "perfect" landing zone and your third agenda section. Basically, to you caravanning is "NOT" a game feature as you attempt to "excuse" yourself. You are just "escaping" Ice Sheet. Putting this into practical application:

  • Start in Ice Sheet.
  • Caravan out for whatever event (item stash, incapacitated refugee, enemy outpost, caravan request, etc).

So when you make a full game length analysis, you have spent 5% of your whole game in Ice Sheet, then 50% in Tundra and another 45% in Boreal Forest. Is that really an Ice Sheet game?

Of course, survival will naturally dictate anyone to move to a better location, but if you are going to keep doing that, then it's not an Ice Sheet guide but more like a Nomadic Life Guide.

Events are meant to be played when reasonably and rationally possible, it is a game feature. However, you display then in a perverse way as your main source of hunt and harvest...again... in "ANOTHER" biome...

I'm an ex-bodybuilder and you remind me of some people who always used to claim in social environments that: "they go to gym." While it is completely true that they enter the facility past its door. Whether they actually lift weights or not... is totally another matter... Then we ask ourselves...: Are "these" guys really going to Gym? Not only that they don't lift, they also occupy the power rack and spend half an hour scrolling their smartphones, making loud and disrupting chats and sitting another half hour on the bench machines. Only becoming a total annoyance for "real" sportsmen and sportswoman.

I don't know how to put things simpler than: "-Get Real.-" It's already simpler as it is.
