preface
Building games has long been a genre with a stable fan base.
Perhaps Chinese bones of the yearning for "farming", "Minecraft", "Tenho no Michi" and "Animal Forest", which contain the elements of "farming", have become the first choice in the minds of most Chinese players.
Even infrastructure games such as "City: Skyline", "Zoo Star" and even military construction games such as "Red Alert" have become popular works or childhood memories in the minds of Chinese players.
However, in these games, in addition to "farming" and "building", there is another important feature, that is, "creation".
The joy of watching a story, or even a world, being born and developed under your own hands is something that no other linear game can bring.
Released in 2018 by Ludeon Studios, RimWorld is a game that combines building, farming, and story creation.
Each archive is a new story
My name is Codex, and in the beginning, everything was happy. The three of us landed on this planet, and although we had no shelter, we were not nothing.
We have food, we have weapons, we have hands that can create everything, and I believe we can survive here.
In addition to a large potato field outside the house, we even had a room large enough to shelter from the wind and rain. Although it gave the impression that it was terrible, we had beds and even electrical appliances with electric power.
In order to make the residence a little more comfortable, it was proposed to build a new room. But even if the power system can be solved, there is no cloth to make the bed, and the new house cannot be completed.
But we still believe that life will get better and better, we have named this place, we have built a game room, Nekolaich stays in the research room all day not knowing what projects are working on, and maybe one day, in addition to growing our base, we will have the opportunity to return to our hometown.
Reality will soon tell us that this is nothing more than a bubble.
The beginning of all the collapse begins with the running out of food.
In the early hours of the morning, a group of traveling merchants came from our camp, and although we could not understand what they were saying, Nekolaich, who had gotten up early, bought some food and medicine from the caravan. In fact, at this time, our food reserves have been declared dangerous.
Nekolaich began to study how to make meatloaf, but to no avail, I lost my mind before he could get the day he worked it out.
I started frantically smashing walls, smashing the ground, throwing guns at the foot of the bed and even my own legs. I began to lash out at Huddo, angrily denouncing Nekolaich's research for not working at all. They did other work on their own, but they left me alone to mine.
I injured Huddo, not simply abrasions, she was badly injured. By the time I regained my senses, her bones were almost broken.
At that time, Huddo didn't say a word, lying in bed every day, only occasionally waking up to do some work, except at night in the house, we hardly saw her a few times during the day.
The next thing I went crazy was her.
One morning, she suddenly ran out of the room like crazy and began to hurt herself against the wall and the floor like I did, I didn't see the specific situation at all, but when she came back, it seemed that we had been cutting down trees outside for a day, and she had been crazy at home for a day.
Then from then on, she lay motionless on her bed.
On the fifteenth day of his arrival, Nekolaich was also gone.
I tried to look for him, but I also lost my strength and fell down the corridor of the new room with a gun in my hand, perhaps Nekolaich had already starved to death in the wild.
And the funny thing is that those two rooms still don't have a bed.
I watched with my own eyes as a stranger came and picked up my gun, and I tried to stand up and resist, but I couldn't do it again.
My name is Eugene, and I was a police officer before I wandered. A day ago, I discovered this camp.
When I came, there was an unnamed corpse lying outside the house. It seems that he "survived" the escape pod that had recently fallen, but by the time he reached the camp, he had already died of excessive blood loss.
I dug a grave with a man here who called himself Nekolaich, and then watched him fall, and I had to bury him first in the grave he had dug with his own hands.
I found another corpse in the hallway of a room, which seemed to be a resident of the same place as Nekolaich lying in the grave. I took his gun and placed it in the open space where they were concentrating their supplies next to the potato field.
I found another survivor in the escape pod a few kilometres away, and then moved her back to the room where the bed was in, where she had lost too much blood. Pushing aside the female corpse on the bed, he put her up.
Even with the generator connected, the lights in the room didn't turn on. For some reason, the wind turbine lost its role.
I gave her a simple treatment with medical supplies in the open space, buried the other dead, and went to the place next door that seemed to be a recreation room for a raw meal.
I don't farm, but I don't have a food source, so I have to feel the rain to harvest the potatoes they plant in the field. Then he returned to the large table in the recreation room and ate a raw meal. No way, no electricity, no electricity, the kitchen's electric stove is completely unusable.
But by the time I remembered to check on the survivor, she was already dead in bed.
The graves I inadvertently dug more actually came in handy.
In the dark rainy night, I couldn't help but wonder if her death was a blessing. Because this land is like a curse, forcibly letting people take over its mess. It seems that anyone implicated in it did not end up well in the end.
Maybe it's time for me to dig a grave, right next to them, for myself.
Easy to play with beginners to explore the wilderness suggestions
If you can't play, that's what you'll end up with in your hand.
To create a perfect story, you need to learn how to get along with the game.
And if you want to thoroughly learn how to play around the world, one of the main points is that you can't start by feeling "reckless".
The first step in each game is to "create a script".
After the player chooses the difficulty corresponding to the number of people (the more people in the game, the more difficult the game is), they can choose the narrator that suits them among the three AI story narrators (in fact, it is a variety of game difficulties).
Here, if the player is in contact with The Circle world for the first time, it is not recommended to challenge the medium difficulty directly, but to choose the simplest three-player start + the peaceful leisure difficulty of the narrator Phoebe.
Players then need to manually set the density of the various groups and enter the map "seed". The "seed" of World of the Ring is similar to the map seed of Minecraft, but to be precise, the latter represents the terrain and the former represents the player's opening resources. Another bigger difference is that, in addition to being able to edit manually, Ring World can also directly enter any Chinese as a "seed", and the system will load a large amount of its preset torrent data based on the text entered by the player.
After editing the world, the player needs to select a spawn point.
The advice for newcomers here is to try to choose the forest terrain with many neutral factions around them, and if there is a lack of doctors or medical supplies in the early stage of the battle, it is easy to lose a wounded member.
This is followed by the selection of characters, and if the preset character values do not meet the player's expectations, a new character can also be randomly assigned by electric shock "randomly".
It's also a tip for newbies, try to make sure your team has people who are good at medicine, cooking, planting, building, mining, shooting, or fighting.
If the player is missing a medicine, it can be compensated by planting herbs, but this requires a planting skill of 8 points.
After that, it's time to get into the game.
After the opening of World of the Rings, many of the character's default settings often fall short of player expectations, and many activities require players to manually open in tabs. For example, only when the player opens the Allow "Tame" or "Hunt" button for a special animal in the "Wild Animals" slot will the character execute when the player assigns the corresponding work.
Many of the supplies at the beginning of the game are "not allowed to operate" by default, and players also need to open them manually.
Players can choose to manually turn on the living area display function, and the character's perception and cleanliness of the room is also directly related. The living environment directly affects the mood and even mental state of the characters.
If the appearance of the room is suddenly reduced, it is most likely that the house needs to be cleaned. At this time, if the character does not automatically clean the building, the player should pay attention to manually controlling the character to complete the cleaning of the room.
To play the game thoroughly, players need not only brains and skills, but also dazzling mods in the workshop.
This point is recommended that players learn by searching for relevant videos on station B or other platforms before playing.
It is highly recommended that players subscribe to two pre-mods before subscribing to the Workshop: HugsLib and Harmony.
These are the two front mods that many Of the World of the Ring Mods need to use before installing.
And this Wall Light is my most commonly used mod, although there is no practicality, just a beautification mod, but the electric light in the game can only be placed on the ground, not only occupies the land but also affects the placement of other items such as the bedside table, with this module, you can effectively simplify the decoration in the room, design a beautiful room out.
postscript
"World of the Ring" in many games, it seems a bit "fresh and vulgar": other games on holidays discount to increase sales, it instead of the reverse price increase.
On the one hand, the excellent quality of the game is also the reason why its price is not low, but there are still many people who are willing to buy at the original price.
On the other hand, it is not unreasonable for "Ring the World" to be called a "divine work". Its high degree of freedom and strong story design have also made many players fall in love with it.
If the player clicks on a character's "log" in the game, they can even see their daily dialogue and actions that the game's simple graphics cannot describe. It is precisely because of this design that this simple game can bring players a different sense of "realism".
In this game, players can both build infrastructure and write their own stories. But for novices, the gameplay of "World of the Ring" is relatively hardcore, and even very stiff in many designs. However, one powerful tool mod after another in the Workshop makes up for these deficiencies like a side update to the game.
If you're tired of the tragedies written by others, why not use your own hands to create a perfect ending for you?
