RimWorld colonies can look awesome, awful, impressive, dull, overwhelming, lame, stunning, boring, intriguing, uninteresting, legendary, whatever. If you have a render of a RimWorld colony, feel free to post it on Rimworld gallery! If you are in doubt about posting, please read below. Please note: screenshots are not hi-res & will be removed
Having trouble posting? To post a render please go directly to rimworld.gallery and read the rules and instructions there. Uploading on your federated server may fail due to file size limits
Rules
PLEASE ONLY POST RENDERS Watch the HOW-TO VIDEO or read the instructions
All colonies are welcome here. If you are playing it and like it, so will we.
1. High resolution renders only No screenshots, please use PR (Steam / GitHub) to make renders. Here's tips for the settings. You may upload regular/additional images in the comments
2. Post the entire map or as much as possible of the surrounding terrain. If surrounded by mountain and/or ice, modest cropping is allowed. Please keep the render square.
3. Use descriptive titles Think colony/seed name, colonist count, biome, background info etc.. So not: 'I was told to post this here'. 'The others are probably better.' Or without any additional info: 'My current colony' 'My last colony'
4. Repost? After significant expansion Reposting from /r/RimWorldPorn is allowed without restrictions A new post of your expanded colony is welcome. To prevent spamming the feed, not too often. If you've posted elsewhere or want to: It is ·YOUR· colony, so if you want to (re)post it anywhere else, don't let anyone stop you!
5. Ships must be landed Complete ships may be posted only when landed on a non icy tile. Instruction video
6. No plagiarism If you share someone else's render, give the original builder credit.
7. Self promotion RimWorld related self promotion is allowed, like for Twitch, YouTube etc; in the comments of a render relevant to your work, posted by you, once per colony. Wiki link · · · ·

Yes, I've seen your base! Amazing that you've kept it going since the very beginnings of Rimworld!
Curious how you got value out of solar power. I was surprised to find that during long stretches of the year there is little to no zero sunlight. I know that's the case IRL, but didn't expect it in the game. So I quickly abandoned solar.
I just kept building panels and batteries to make sure there was always enough power. On my current run I have split the power into three segments so one zzzt doesn't drain all batteries in one go. Panels are expensive though so it makes wealth high, but it's free energy so no resources wasted on electricity
