Tu dis toi-même que tu ne comprends pas tout après tout ce temps, ça ne t'a jamais découragé plutôt qu'impressionné ?

Les systèmes qui s'emboîtent sans qu'on les comprenne tous, ça te frustre vraiment ou ça fait justement tenir la partie plus longtemps ?

The pathing can get janky when your colony grows past a certain size, colonists queue up at doorways like it's rush hour. The mood and health systems more than make up for it though, the amount of interlocking detail in how an injury or a bad memory ripples through a pawn's behavior is still something few games attempt seriously.

Ma colonie a tenu douze jours avant l'incident random qui a tout ruiné, le pathing dont tu parles n'a rien arrangé.

Le pathing dérange, mais on ferme les yeux non ?

I get why people love the story generator, but the combat AI does some genuinely dumb things once your colony gets big enough. Raids feel more like a math problem than a threat after a certain point, you just build the right killbox and it's over. The narrator system is clever, sure, but I don't think it earns the spot this high when so much of the late game reduces to spreadsheets.

Killbox, matemáticas, spreadsheets, con esa lista ya casi describes cualquier estrategia que se respete

It's one of the few games where every run actually feels different from the last one, and that alone justifies its ranking for me.

Different from the last one, that's exactly why I keep coming back after the runs that ended badly on day twelve or so.

Je me souviens avoir vu RimWorld grimper dans le classement après une vague de streams, tout le monde en parlait pendant des semaines, et là il stagne en seconde partie de tableau. Vous pensez que c'est juste le cycle normal ou qu'il mérite mieux que ça ?
