    Random Randy is for the people who want the destruction of their colony.

    I prefer the “Pheobe Chillax” one that allows me to just build and recruit with only occasional raids from enemies and/or natural disasters.

    Rimworld is very customizable in this regard, and you can swap your ‘storyteller’ at any point mid-run.

    And in regards to the ‘cannibal/pleasure farm’ stuff, yeah that can be weird. I prefer to use the Hospitality mod and make my colony a luxury resort with pools/spa and thats how I make money for trading

      Chillax is known to wipe floors with players tho, because she’s not really that more lenient, she’s just lazy. Delays the raid, so you build up wealth and then boom, Army of Armaggedon at your doors.

      Randy is…Random. You may get 10 raids one after another, and strive to survive with great losses. Or you may have a few chill seasons to build up. It’s…fun. It doesn’t try to actively kill you, it doesn’t feel just delayed, it’s just story generating.
