[RW] My Rimworld Forever Save (Until 1.7)

[MonochromeClown]

Hello, I am here to be autistic about my current Rimworld save, Lisecki Robotics. The idea struck me to start a Rimworld forever save when I was reading the latest update to A Mechanitor's Message, a rimworld save being documented on Pushing500's tumblr blog that I've been following for awhile (And recently made fanart for, which I'd like to do more of!)... I really enjoyed the huge found family vibes the run was giving off and wanted to achieve that in my own colony. I hadn't done a longform colony for a year or so, always making new colonies but never really getting anywhere with them. My last one was Fair Hope, the one that kickstarted my worldbuild Xtabay.

Anyway- So I started a lone mechanitor run with a character I had made before but again, didn't get very far with. His name was Roman Lisecki and he generated pregnant and I knew I had a to make some kind of story about this. So the lore for this run goes as follows:

Roman grew up on a glassworld, a world who's surface was completely destroyed by orbital weaponry forcing the population to survive in giant undercities. Roman studied mechanoids, repairing and creating them. He was a respected researcher who helped contribute to the cause of restoring the surface of the planet and he even found love and married a man called Erich Shivak. He lived a good life until he stumbled across a major conspiracy, he tried to hide his knowledge of it's existence but he was found out and had his and his family's life threatened. He, his parents, his sister and Shivak (Who he had since divorced) fled the planet. Roman was pregnant at the time, another factor in his rush to leave. However their spaceship went completely off course, floating out to the rim of the galaxy and eventually colliding with space debris. Roman's cryopod was ejected onto the planet along with two mechanoids, a cleaner and a builder.... And his family was scattered around the planet, unsure if they'd ever see each other again.

Spoiler: They see each other again. It all works out! Roman has his kid and his colony grows exponentially! They're currently building mechanoids and androids alike, studying the void anomolies and hosting guests from all over the globe. As well as everyone raising their own families. Here's a picture of the main family, the Liseckis. (I hope the image isn't too big.. guh!)


From left to right we have: Roman, Jackie, Dear, Valery, Surozz, Ryo, Rosa, Naoko, Ophelia, Drazen, Niesha, Jiov and Glasses.
Some of these guys were adopted into the family. Surozz has since split with Dear but she's still part of the family in my heart.

I'm hoping to draw and complete lineups of the other families in the colony, but if you want to view all the current colonist you can check them out of my Toyhouse! https://toyhou.se/MonochromeClown/characters/folder:6854056

I might update this thread with goings on in the colony or random writing or anything else, we'll see! Thanks for listening to my ramble

it stuns us seeing how Many characters you're able to design and put in lineups like this- we used to do a lot similarly before our hands started getting kinda rough and it's so fucking cool seeing people do it and show off the range they have in designs/story characters. words are bad but yeah! i know very little about rimworld lore but i'm very curious about all these folks

Thank you! I'm super attached and honestly I have NEVER drawn THIS much in one piece before, it was way easier then I was expecting? Like I just- did it. Previously I lacked any motivation to do that kind of thing, I'd try and get mad and cry and quit and never attempt again but my current save has brought back so much motivation it's crazy... probably being in therapy and medicated regularly is helping too.

Here's some screenshots of the base! I'd be willing to answer any questions about it or the people. (The group shot is a little outdated, I'll post a new one once we've recruited all the prisoners).







Hope that's not too many images :^•
I tried to put the families into groups in the big group shot, though the ones in the middle are single, hence why they're all together like that.

The save has been going well, almost too well- I'm honestly a bit bored! I'm thinking of packing up the entire colony and moving into space or something silly like that. But everything is so pretty in the home base right now, we've been working on beautifying everything. 



All these plants are thanks to the vanilla expanded props mod. They don't move in the wind, they just sit there static-like but I don't mind it, they're super pretty and save me from having to make a million growing zones. (Also ignore the raid notification, I'm going to deal with that in a second lol



Our guest rooms have been moved and upgraded significantly, now the old guest room is a rec room complete with gambling and a swimming pool, awesome. You'll notice they're even hosting D&D sessions in the rec room, thanks to someone continuing the old Tabletop Trove - Additional Joy Objects and Decor mod which I used to use all the time in 1.2-1.4

In other news in the colony... One of the original couples Gerjorn and Shivak have divorced...

I will never fucking forgive Shivak for this, cheating on his husband, flirting with random women and now telling him HE wants a break from GERJORN??? How DARE????
RGrhrh.... anger aside, at least it's good story telling... This is a story generator I tell myself over and over when my pawns break my heart into a thousand pieces.... it's just a story generator...

T-T.....
