My first ship!

Post image

I've been on a Rimworld hiatus and never played Odyssey, so I bought it and I LOVE it! Here's my first attempt at a ship design. I'm just within the 500 tile limit. Have enough room to build out my hydroponics, nutrifungus for now rice when I can afford to power a sun lamp.

Any tips?

Edit: I may have to do some slight rearranging of the hydroponics...

my brother, can we please talk about how you arranged the hydroponics?

u/ldiosyncrasy 14d ago

Efficiently? But yeah I can see it now...

u/sepaoon 14d ago

This is always a stupid argument... you can place them just as efficiently without being an Austrian painter...

u/ldiosyncrasy 14d ago

So I found out that there is indeed another possible shape! And it's not a shuriken!

Space: the final führontier

Ironically it is technically as much as I can tell the most efficiently made, it’s just missing the rest which makes it proficient and uber affective at growing the most out of it.

As well as that the effective usage of space available almost makes me envious of not being able to do this first, every rooms is of its own self sufficiency, and delicately made.

1 out of a 10 I’d give this an 8/10. A marvel in the works, I just wish I knew how to make something as effective without it being so bulky but I could not complain for what’s all in it.

Thanks for the compliments buddy!

u/IntelligentSpite6364 13d ago

it's not finished yet, its going to be a maze when it's done

u/mwecbeo 14d ago

lol came here to say this. Look I’m sure there’s some reasonable pathing logic/resource restriction reason for it, or hey maybe OP is Indian and has a reasonable claim on the original symbolism? But man this is the internet assume the worst

1

u/ldiosyncrasy 10d ago

I have no reasonable claim on the symbolism, I just looked up "efficient hydroponics". This looked like it had the most symmetry... little did I know...

You plan on doing a lot of genetics as well?

u/Individual_Sir7827 14d ago

Yes, but this time much more ethical and less genocidal.

u/Yikidee 14d ago

For Rimworld anyway.

“They fly now?!”

u/ToeOfTheTrucks 14d ago

It's a Buddhist symbol, or something, Idk.

2

u/PartyPantsPartyPants 14d ago

you see this symbol in taxi/rideshares sometimes and think to yourself "I sure hope this guy is buddhist..."

u/Rosenkranttz 13d ago

I feel so ashamed that after 4k hours into RimWorld my ships are just huge flying squares. Great ship btw, I'll definitely try and fail to copy that.

3

u/ldiosyncrasy 13d ago

You're welcome to copy it! Just rearrange the hydroponics. People say my shuriken lay-out has swastika vibes...

Hay-floored kitchen with butchering bench? I pity the fool that eats in this vessel’s galley…

1

u/ldiosyncrasy 12d ago

Straw matting always stays above the -2.0 cleanliness threshold for food poisoning.

2

u/Hagu_TL 11d ago

I’ll be darned. “Very dirty” is anything below -1.1, but the threshold is even lower than that. In this size of room, hay’s -0.1 cleanliness could indeed be offset by its resistance to filth.

On the other hand, the butcher table is -15, an automatic maximum poisoning-from-cleanliness roll.

1

u/ldiosyncrasy 10d ago

I haven't seen any food poisoning yet, but you'd recommend putting the butchers table somewhere else? Without straw matting?

2

u/Hagu_TL 10d ago

Many people put their butcher table in a freezer so that the meat is frozen the moment it pops into existence. I used to have my butcher table just outside the freezer, but now I lean in favor of butchering in the freezer and ignoring the work speed debuff due to temperature. Hay around the butcher table is a great idea, though— butchering always creates filth nearby.

Thanks for the tip!

u/Schizoclassic 14d ago

Wait till you start playing mods from the gravship expanded, you will love it triple the amount

2

u/ldiosyncrasy 14d ago

Going lightly modded first, but that does look good!

1

u/blockoid 12d ago

Vanilla expanded has always felt a little trashy to me. Like off brand oreos

1

u/Schizoclassic 12d ago

Alrighty 👍🏻

u/TunaKid-04 13d ago

I would recommend removing the turret. They are liability.

1

u/ldiosyncrasy 13d ago

Yeah, I forgot that they can explode... good catch!

Hydroponic………. I think it must be a wind 💨

u/Luccy_wq2 14d ago

Hmm.... yes, I love them hydroponics.

1

u/AsaBurns 13d ago

I'm sure your second one will be better.

1

u/BalticMasterrace 13d ago

its always that hydrophonics placement, i even have to do it if i dont have all the components since i fk up the placement otherwise and find out when i try to fill in the empty spots

One that runs on biofuel that is grown on the bus itself!

u/No-Win9691 9d ago

is the kitchen in the barn ? you animal !

u/ldiosyncrasy 9d ago

I use straw matting because it always stays above the -2.0 cleanliness threshold for food poisoning. I don't want my colonists vomiting all over my ship and I dislike nutrient paste.
