Apologies for the delay, but this is the late game boredom, few things happen that can endanger the Ediots. The colony is alert and always ready to respond, everyone has some kind of armor, and is genetically or cybernetically enhanced. Few interesting threats appear, and the drama is low (it would also be better if it was played by someone new and fresh to the game, who has yet to figure out how things work, or if I've set the difficulty higher - current is "strive to survive").
Anyway, the Ediots made their way to the secret facility for nothing - turns out they also need to create a hybrid animal that will be improved in the lab, and that the start of the process will trigger a signal that will trigger a visit from mechanoids. They'we returned to Nobody Cares empty-handed.
There was a huge polar bear manhunter pack, and one of the Ediots was too slow to get behind the walls, but nothing happened, the armors weren't even dented
Ediots continued to raid ancient labs and assemble the equipment they'll need
with ccasional minor distractions in the form of raids
and literally every muffalo on the map going insane
since there was no room in the pantry to store all that meat, killing was deemed unnecessary, and 4 Ediots with beanbags pacified the entire herd
Ancient lab raids continued. These places are huge, and I'm starting to wonder if they can be settled.
Near the end of the year, a cluster with no gimmicks landed next to the colony. No weather controlers, no countdown timer, no mortars. The Ediots decided to just leave it be.
irrelevant mortar party
Two more mortars and one more howitzer were added to accomodate bigger and bigger raids
Year 20 started
With enough equipment scavanged/built, minty could start producing colony's first hybrids
Two refugee quest were accepted, and for a short period the colony was a home to 36 people
Irrelevant and removed by mortars
The first hybrid succesfully emerged from the artificial womb: a wolfsnake
On the same day a wedding was held. Heidi divorced Demonic, who was devasteted, but eventually found new happines in Tim's arms. Congratulations....fags
There was a days long period of rain, and during a storm, a lightning must have hit and set one of the mechanoid structures on fire, and they woke up, and were taken care of by usual means
The market for prosthetic legs kept growing and growing
as the Ediot melee units remained undisputed
Another defoliator with a 278 footies, swordsmen placed on the entrance, mortars inticed them to rush, it was supposed to be a simple slaughterhouse
but then the allies arrived to help, and turned it into a complicated slaughterhouse instead. Still, this is the 4th time that hte Veristani rushed to aid the Ediots without even being asked to. Tim and Chuj blasted their way through shotgunners to collect the surviving wounded.
A raid not worth mentioning, 2 days later
... at least that's what I thought, until they were inside the walls
and melted the barricades, the mounted MGs, and the warehouse wall
but in the end they were handled
Year 21 started
A yttakin drop pod raid made a bloody mess in the barracks on the new year's eve
Two weeks later the impids showed up.
Tired of constantly dragging off the dead bodies, the Ediots used beanbag shells, allowing most of the impids to survive and limp away (on both legs)
A new mechanoid
They went for the entrance
and the damn thing kept leaping away every time it was cornered, but Lurk kept on its tail
and brought it down eventually.
Everything went smoothly after that
Soon after, another cluster that was woken up during a thunderstorm. With the infantry taken out, most of the turrets were sniped away.
Only 3 were left, to be taken care of in the morning
But i was impatient, and thought that maybe I can stuff Lurk in a drop pod and land him here, where they can't fire due to their minimum range. Do I risk him? Fuck it, I got 5 shots of serum left.
It worked
and the rest was mop up
Now. let's see how this victory goal should be wrapped up. I already showed minty filling up the machine with genoframe (that thing that was used for implants and costs 64 chickens), and here's the interface. It can either use genetic materials from two different species to crete a hybrid:
or it can use two of the same species to create a genetic paragon, the purest genetic expression of the species (with a chance of failure and producing some flesh monstrosity)
First hybrid the Ediots created was the wolfsnake. After that, minty combined two avian genomes to create the avian paragon

Now, this is the equipment that the Ediots looted from the ancient labs, in the middle is the archocentipede (or "superbeast" if you will) former,
and the boxes surrounding it need to be filled with 12 different genetic material types
The colony has already produced 7 out of 12 paragons that the material will be harvested from. After that, the archoformer will combine them into a growth cell to be gestated in the artificial womb. The process will last 15 days, and will trigger raids. If the Ediots manage to survive and resist that period, victory is theirs.
Here are some of the paragons.
I should also create some hybrids and paragons and take them to those labs and see how exactly can they be improved.
The preparations for the coming month of siege are on the way, new armors are being made
artillery ammo is being stockpiled
another layer of walls was added - plutonium. Will try to gather plasteel for the 3rd layer.
And that is all for now.

it's finally over.
But ok, let's go in order, skipping irrelevant stuff only
Year 22 started
The Ediots accepted a quest to store even more toxic wastepacks, which lead to even more bug infestations, no longer limited to the crypt
since this threatened to overwhelm even the melee troops, flamethrower was used, uncomfortably close to artilery shell stockpile
In the summer, an insectoid paragon was created in the colony, and the Ediots traveled with it to the mechahybridization lab
where it was transformed into a giant cyberbug armed with twin lazers
after that, the process was repeted with the ÜBËRCHÏCKËN, which now became DÄS ÜBËRMËCHÄCHÏCKËN
Since the hybridization machine had one more charge left, the Ediots made themselves at home in the lab, and waited for the colony to create and send an ursine paragon. While this was ongoing, they had to endure 6 mechanoid raids
but eventually had their mechabear
At the end of the year, a yttakin mortar raid of about 100 people landed. Of all the places, smack dab in the middle of a mechanoid cluster. A single mortar shell was fired by the Ediots, enough to awaken the machines
In the end, the yttakin won, but had barely 30 people left to attack the colony with, and were easily dispatched
The final quest was done, bringing the number of resurrector serums to 8. It was time.
First raid was a waster drop pod assault, but all the pods ended scattered all over the map, their inhabitants easily picked off
The second one landed outside of the lab, and was also eay to deal with
though yttakin rolled in with DDLs many times, they never had the chance to use any, to the relief of the Ediots
The policy of hacking off legs and taking prisoners was abandoned for the time being, and replaced with decapitate on sight, which was sometimes regretable, but who the fuck goes on raids pregnant?!
Above are also the remains of the third raid
Raid four, bunch of wasters
after losing enough people, they decided to steal whatever was on the ground, which were weapons left from the yttakin mortar raid , and mechanoid ammo. They were allowed to do it, the colony is now over million in value, they made of with less than pocket change
Raid five. The Ediots just marched outside and mowed them down.
Raid 6 was unlucky enough to enter the map near minty's meditation spot. I was worried for a moment, but a psycaster with a flamethrower can handle a lot, as it turns out. Berserk pulse drove a group of 6-7 to slaughter each other
then came the inferno
after which she circled and met the rest on the other side
the end
Raid 7 was 200 shotgunners
Too much for bersek pulse to make a dent in
So it was handled from 2 sides, Demonic and Lurk at the gates, and minty attacking from the back to speed up the process, because another raid could show up at any moment
and it did, at that very moment
It was ended quickly and efficiently, but by now the archocentipede process was halfway finished, and I realized that I should have encased the damn thing in walls to protect it from this kind of geopardy
Raid 9 landed in 2 groups, total 62 scythers
With raids coming in almost every day, cleaning was really falling behind
Raid 10, wiped out quickly
Raid 11, the mechanoids almost caught Ediots unprepared while they were meditating, but they managed to quickly retreat
Raid 12 was handled mostly by the mechabear, though it did destroy some of the plan B pods in the process
And finally, the ending, the culmination of all the Ediots efforts
This thing is nigh unkillable, armed to the mandibles, and can direct the fire of Jewish space lasers every 7 hours.
The Ediots tested it on the dormant mechanoid cluster outside of the colony
Whatever exists on Pentimus 7 without the Ediots knowledge, exists without their consent. In order the Pentimus 7 to be trully theirs, no one must be permitted to incur upon it, save by their dispensation. They looked upon the dead bodies of the raiders and mechanoids. They started to laugh, loudly. War was always here on the Rimworld, even before the Ediots were here, war waited for them, the ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioners...

GAME OVER
PLAY AGAIN
Y/N
Well actually I'll probably take a week to rest, I love this game, but the final stages are more of a long term project than fun. Early struggle is always the best part of it, and sometimes defeat can be more entertaining than success.
What do you guys want, continue with this colony to the archotech ending, or a new colony, on higher difficulty, with 1.5 version, which I didn't play, but I know it adds horror elements

Time to go back
Starting on a higher difficulty this time, IDK what life expectancy should be this time, so I'll estimate on the side of pessimism and go with 3 months
Adding two more (initially) hostile factions
So far the Ediots lived in boreal and temperate forest, choose your new starting point:
- desert
- extreme desert
- tundra
- tropical rainforest
- tropical swamp
- temperate swamp
- arid shrubland
Game has been updated to 1.5 and has a new victory condition. Mods have been updated, and a mod with new ideology structures/memes had been added
here are the old memes:
New low impact memes (although going pure melee or ranged seems like huge impact to me):
new medium impacts:
The scenario remains the lost tribe, as it is still the only one that offers 5 colonist spots. Here is a xenotype reminder:
