The Wealth Trap That Destroys Rimworld Players
This video breaks down how wealth in RimWorld directly increases difficulty, leading to more challenging events like raids and diseases. We explore the "dynamic difficulty adjustment" mechanics, where the AI storyteller escalates threats as your colony becomes richer, making prosperity a risk factor. This explains why many players die not from poor play, but from accumulating too much wealth, a key aspect of how "gaming explained" works in this unique title.
