Yeesh, that's... rough. At least they figured out geothermal power now, build one of those things and Rex can keep his turrets running 24/7. A bit late, but at least there won't be a next time... probably. Still, things are only going to go downhill from here most likely.
On the bright side they should get more company soon, on the downside it probably won't help them get home. Unless of course Starlight ends up somewhere else, and will have to fend for herself for a while before finding Rex and Twilight. Then again Starlight did always seem much hardier than Twilight, and will probably be able to fend for herself pretty well. Imagine that, Twilight and Rex are doing their own thing, and then Starlight rocks up spinning a pair of assault rifles in her magic after being battle hardened by her time on the rim.

That would be funny once the dust settles.
So how long until they start making human leather (pony leather?) hats and armchairs?
On the Rim, it's never a matter of if you'll end up losing a body part to a cannibal at some point, but rather when.
With any luck they'll make it long enough to just do what I do and replace the entire thing with a full bionic arm.
Welp, that was really frustrating. The first time we see Rex fight a real person and he instantly gets his ass beat and goes belly-up without any sort of fight then the only thing he thinks is "imma flick him off" like that gesture really mean anything to anyone. How did this guy survive as long as he has if all you have to do is literally walk up in his house and punch him a few times. Other then that it's nice we are getting to see the other ponies point of view.

I can understand how that seems underwhelming.
I wanted to take it from personal experience more than anything. I've been in plenty of fistfights in my life, and each one ended rather fast if the attacker knew where to hit.
Two hits to the face and your down and out. Even the biggest men in UFC fall victim to that.
Though, I can sttll understand the dissapointment.

Trust me I understand that, but it doesn't make for compelling reading.
Recreation needs:
Twilight -6
Rex -12
Get them a horseshoes pin or chess table stat!
Called it, some nasty stuff was gonna happen after the fact. Rimworld's just like that. You're doing the game it's cruel justice
I see rex met the average rimworld colonist this chapter -c-
This stories is really enjoyable.
I find it annoying sometimes how quite a few authors think that they need to draw out a fight scene with lots of build up to make it good. While in some cases like here a quick short scramble adds to the shock of the moment. Both Rex and Twilight are completely unaware and unprepared for the psycopathic cannibal crashing through the door with the former only surviving due to Twilight intervention. Which also helps to show the unforgiving everything can go wrong anytime nature of rimworld.
I thought the fight was great. I never played Rimworld before, but the fight was very realistic to me. Real fights are not like Street Fighter, where you lose health with every hit. It only takes one shot to a vital spot and you're done. So, in this case, the fight was as long as it was only because the attacker drew it out longer to keep Rex suffering.
Then Twilight ended it with literally one shot.
I'm glad that we got to explore more in this chapter. Showing Twilight the graves and explaining that he might of considered himself a monster, but why he isn't. That kind of morality is difficult to learn. So, I enjoying seeing it in stories like this.
I hope Twilight maintains her innocence, but now, after she's taken a life--even in defense--her mentality could change forever.
Great story so far.
Thank you for posting.

This isn't a criticism because you've been doing really good so far with world-building, but I assume/think this is a videogame (that I've never played or heard of). I can see why it's a videogame with your different Tech benches but please if you could explain it to the reader like they don't know what you're talkin about. I can pick it up from different "games" but some might not and you're trying to write a story for someone who's never played the game.

Yeah, I can agree with that. Not many people have played Rimworld, so I will work harder on the distinction between the technology and benches.

Definitely will go back and fix a lot of those.
During writing, I often add letters or change words that make little to no sense. It makes me cringe sometimes knowing that I messed up a word or sentence that badly. Still, I will fix them soon!
Good job starlight, you picked the one thing that would make sure sunbutt and moonbutt don't find out about this until much later, it would have just taken a minute or less to make a note.
Anyways good chapter loved it and that ending, damn Rex has some bad luck
yea, it's almost like it's game or something, oh wait, it is,
@.@
*Starts reading chapter 7* Ah, there's that classic Rimworld experience.

On the other hand, impulsiveness is perfectly in character for Glim-Glam.
