Best RimWorld Research Guide After 5,000 Hours

After more than 5,000 hours in RimWorld, I've experimented with hundreds of different research paths across almost every biome, difficulty, and challenge imaginable. In this guide, I'll show you exactly what I research from the moment my colonists crash land all the way to the endgame. We'll cover the best early-game technologies, the research I prioritize, what you can safely skip, and all the little mistakes that can slow your colony down. Whether you're completely new to RimWorld or already have hundreds of hours, by the end of this guide, you'll know exactly what to research and when to research it. 0:00 Intro 1:26 Research Is a long-term task 1:51 How Research Works 2:23 Batteries 3:01 Advanced Lights 3:46 Defenses 4:25 Microelectronics 6:04 Research Priorities 7:06 Resource Research 7:25 Multi-analyzer 7:42 Recap 8:23 More Research 9:36 Research Room 10:25 Research Tips 11:24 Research After Shiplaunch 12:40 End-game Base 14:05 Tribal Research 14:48 Research Mistakes ↓ Play the exact RimWorld colonies from my videos ↓ ▶ Patreon:   / veequeue   ↓ Support Me Here ↓ ▶ YouTube Membership:    / @veequeue   ▶ Discord:   / discord
