Chapter Five, by the way.
Twilight and Rex kissing in a tree K.I.S.S.I.N.G
Do... Do you sleep? New, awesome story, and this much in 3 days?
Even if not totally accurate, do you have a map of the... Base? house? I didn't even know there were turrets until now, although it might have been mentioned earlier. An ingame mockup, or a crappy MSPAINT scribble maybe?
Keep her going
10336738
I'm currently mapping things out the way I want them, but finding good random map generation is a little hard.
Still, I have a world that is currently being developed with dev commands, and I'll end up sharing what it looks like sometime soon! I promise.
Also yes, the turrets were mentioned earlier in the story.
I probably wont put out any new chapters tomorrow, as I'll be spending my day playing Ghost of Tsushima and packing up my room. However, I will consistently putting out chapters!
I dont really sleep to answer your question. Call me a goblin! I'm glad I certainly dont look like one.
10336769
Will do~!
10336688
Hmm.. I wonder, what would their ship name be?
Rilight?
Twirex?
Trex?
...
Trex.
10336789 you should do a story with Spike ends up in the Star wars universe becomes Darth Vader's apprentice with Starkiller
I'll definitely want to see the final result of your map when it's all done. Also with as popular as rim world is I'm surprised no one ever made a mlp species mod.
Just wondering, is anything from any mod going to make an appearance here at some point?
10336794
I dont know a lot about starwars, but if I ever get into it ill sure try!
10336969
I will definitely show the map off at some point. It will be (hopefully) a good representation of what it looks like in the story.
10337058
I did plan to add a few things from mods, but if I do it wont be anything crazy.
Perhaps insectoids from the new Insectoid (expansion) mod that came out. It basically refines and adds new content that basically couldve been considered DLC.
If a mod can fit well and realistically within rimworlds environment and stuff, I'll be sure to put it in. Your free to give suggestions!
10337041
Indeed. Ponies are heavily dependant on their emotions and connections with others.
It can lead to quick friendships or relationships, moving things in a direction faster than usual because of their hyper emotions.
However if one were to have no connection, or even lose that connection without another to replace it with or make up for it, they will definitely go crazy, as with the examples youve given.
Jeez, all of you guys are so dang smart. Maybe you guys should be writing this!
10337068
Okay, so probably not Pawnmorpher, you're saying?
One serious suggestion might be Dubs Bad Hygiene. It adds a water and sewage system, a bathroom and hygiene need, and and the option for central air systems.
As a writer of both Rimworld and MLP, I must say this story is going impeccably well and was quite deserving of its time on the front page! Keep up the great work and try not to burn yourself out!
Especially astounded by how effective you fleshed out the mood of the Insectoid attack. This gives me great hopes for the future of hostile encounters.
When you compare vanila weapons, bolt-action rifle is actualy one of the best firearms
Also did you try Ponies of the Rim mod? I want to know if it is in my ability to improve it further.
10336969
Actually, two mods already exist. One almost purely cosmetic, while the other is more weapon oriented. Both featured the ponies as a new specie.
I like this story, don't get me wrong. I think the pace is too fast, but it's my taste, I really like slow stories with world-building and relationship growth and mistrust and things like that, and yet I am fine with this story. However, I am surprised how you handle Twilight in this chapter. I know she is uncomfortable with her current situation, ignorant and afraid of the world surrounding her as everyone in her situation should be. But feinting while facing a bug behind a door? I find it weird, we are talking about the Princess of Friendship, THE alicorn who faced a changeling invasion, who goes in the Everfree forest fighting monsters, faced Sombra and his dark crystals, and Chrysalis' plan to let Twilight attack Cadance. Even in the innocent and peaceful tv show, she faced monsters and unfavorable odds, a god of chaos (or whatever Discord is), her friends being mind control, and Nightmare Moon herself. She knows violence and fear, but she didn't simply feint, even the first time. It would have made sense if she faced a situation she was never prepared for: gore, blood and death. Just seeing an insect, even a big one, trashing a door shouldn't have the same effect than said insect cutting someone's arm. Twilight feels far too vulnerable I believe, it's maybe a detail, but let her witnessed, I don't know, an elk cleave in two by one of those enraged insect before making her passed out. She don't need to be a damsel in distress so the human can shine like a knight and justify a ship, both kick asses their own way.
You have no idea how happy I was to wake up, check my phone, and see this. Especially since a chapter was uploaded last night.
Wooden doors? Stone doors are where it’s at, all my homies use stone doors.
But seriously though, imganine trying to push open a stone door. Now imagine trying to do that every time you enter a room. I can see why he stuck with wood.
10336969
I made one four months ago

Quick, time to go get that smooth, tasty insect jelly!
Well I found a new story to follow keep it up this intrigued me.
10337107
Yes the rifle could be the best thing in the world but if the person was crafting it did a bad job at it it's pretty bad and not only that it depends on how their shooting skills are the reason why Twilight was able to aim so well is because her magic is the stabilizer for The Recoil of the gun also he's probably used the rifle as the main gun for him so it must have some wear and tear for those years not only that it depends on which modded he is using for this series.
10337077
Pawnmorpher may be a possibility, but not likely.
10337124
I can understand the confusion.
Twilight is badass in her own way, and has fought many battles. However, in the show, fights and encounters are perceived differently.
In the show, there is usually a buildup. Villains end up spewing out their plans and monologue, they give you time to get ready, they make foolish mistakes because 'evil is bad.' Also, Twilight was able to rely on her own powerful magic, and had the ability to rely on her friends in a comfortable environment.
Rimworld is quite the opposite. Things happen on a whim without buildup, or even tension. Enemies do not wait and give you the time of day to prepare. They are as capable as you are, and usually are prepared better as they have the upper-hand since they are the ones who choose to initiate battles. Twilight is unable to use a lot of her magic, as she had said. Any attempt at teleportation, or any other powerful magical abilities simply fizzes out without explanation.
She is also in an unknown world, where things are not comfortable. She does not have her own friends to rely on, and instead must rely on the one person she was forced to deal with.
I was trying to write Twilight in a way where she is unable to handle the new environment of the world she was put in. Death is a real possibility, where as Equestria, death was never considered. Sure, enslavement, and the destruction of towns and cities, and getting rid of good was always a possible threat. However, if death was a concern, they would most certainly have taken different approaches to different situations. Most threats in Equestria also have a motive.
Evil doesn't need motive in rimworld. Evil happens because it wants to, not that it has any motive underneath. Some people just want to hurt others for no apparent reason.
I can understand what you're saying. I hope you understand the way I was trying to write her, and I didn't mean to make it seem like I was justifying a possible ship in the story, or to make Rex look like a badass. I want Rex to be perceived as somebody who can handle himself in this new world, but makes as many mistakes as anybody else, and some mistakes are more dire than others.
I'm glad you're liking the story though, and I hope to write more chapters that interest you.
10337137
Oof, a stone door.. That would be..
..rocky to deal with..
10337410
Mmmm~
Tasty~
10337761
Ah, yes.
The rifle has seen wear and tear as it is the main weapon of choice for Rex.
I understand that it is definitely one of the better weapons in the game to use, especially for those trained in long range combat, but against Insectoids which are described to have an almost kevlar-like outer shell would prove to be not as useful as lets say, a regular machine pistol. The more rounds you can put on target, the better chance you will have of piercing through.
WIth the rifle, you got one shot before you have to use the bolt, and then you have to re-stabilize your aim and fire again. It isn't good under pressure.
And yes, as you said, Twilight was able to aim well because of her magic. Magic may be able to falter, however magic is steadier than any physical object as its able to conform to any object it consumes. Hands were not made for guns, however magic can adapt to guns.
Very cool story, but by the characters that you marked, Rex will be sent to Equestria?
10338256
A lot of the stories I see out there have mentioned says where weapons were used with magic and their used a lot more efficiently still limitation is a thing so let's say and one of the stories I like to read that's called {Diaries of a Madman} where the main character is testing out a air rifle that he haves one of the unicorns that bets him that he could stop the bullet when fired his shield shattered and knocked him unconscious for several days so magic has its limitations Twilight is lucky that she landed on a planet that has so much life on it if she landed on a planet that is kind of dead like Mars like another series call {The Maretian} where the planet has no magic in other words she will be going with drawers of course Twilight also has her power based on friendship she's not a druid that can call upon the life of the world to gain her power unless she learns how to do that.
Always happy to see a Rimworld fic. I made a kinda shitty short one in like 2017 before anyone else did, but I'm sure yours will be a lot better than mine. I hope to see more stories like this from people.
im seriously loving this story so far. Can't wait for more!
Damn! Just this morning I thought if there are any crossovers with Rimworld?
Nice!
Love the Switching in the POV. Please keep it up.
10337107
To be fair if the weapons in fic are based off of real ones or at least the actual gun is based off of real ones the bolt action rifle he has could be pretty bad, I mean look at some of the first bolt actions. But on other hand the bolt action from game is pretty good.
10338344
We shall see!
10339703
You know, after I started this fic I looked up to see if there were any others and I saw yours.
Yours had some promise!
We even had the same idea where Twilight used a teleportation thing to get to the world. Great minds think alike!
10339878
More will be coming soon.
10339976
Glad I could prove you wrong~!
I mean that as nicely as possible!
10340072
I'm glad I can sate your curiosity~!
10340550
20 more and you'll be at a thousand!
Also, wow, this story has been on the featured list for quite some time now.
How long do you think I can keep it up there? It's been 3 days already, so perhaps I can keep it up there for even longer!
Tomorrow or later today the next chapter will be out. It'll be longer than the rest, for those of you who enjoy the story.
EDIT: Wow, I just checked and it's no longer on the featured list! Dang, that sucks! Well, let's see if we can get it on there again, hm?
I love the story and since it's been so popular I've been thinking about writing my own story based off of a "difficult" survival game. Since the niche is there I'll be drafting an mlp oxygen not included story. Thanks for the inspiration.
10341206
Glad I've inspired you!
I do! I enjoy "hearing" their thoughts especially since they come from two different worlds.
Critique:
The only problem I have with them is that you tend to rewrite things that happened from both viewpoints and it can feel redundant... Not all the time, but an example would be:
I got up, stretched and walked out the door. I got an apple from the tree and went back inside.....
.... He got up and stretched, then left me alone. But I was relieved when he came back a few moments later. He even had apple!
It just seems to have too much redundancy and can feel like I'm re-reading the paragraph again.
In the last part of this chapter your switched POV with "'Anytime,' he said. // 'Anytime,' I said." Which was a lot better.
10343001
Agree'd, I understand how that can get a little annoying.
I'll be changing that! I promise. Thank you for the heads up.
Great story. Pacing seems a bit quick, but it's not horrible. Also, I did spot some spelling and grammar errors. Case in point; you said "feint" when it should have been "faint". Easy to miss, but I'm just being a grammar nazi lol. All in all, good story and I hope to see more.
10338243 NGL, while that makes sense, I suddenly had the image of Twi having the exact opposite reaction. She sees the bug claw coming through the door and Rex just hears, "AW TARTARUS NO!" As Twi picks up her revolver and just starts to positively RIP SHIT on everything on the other side of the door. "Fuck you Chrysalis!" Floats in from outside, as Rex just stares in abject horror.
*Twi was having a flashback to the Canterlot Invasion, if that wasn't obvious.
