#PC RIMWORLD PREPARE CAREFULLY HOW TO#

Melee: How to club someone/something with your gun when you missed too many times.(That leaves 4 skills not covered if you get them, great! But none are needed at the start, nor should be worried about for a quick start.

Lacking these skills won't mean game-over, but having all of them covered will significantly hasten your advancement in the early game. Faster, and more stuff from each tile mined out)

Social (Prisoner recruitment & Trade not ~as~ important, just a little slower/slightly more expensive without a good score).

Cooking (preferably at least 6, for Fine meals).

It also helps to have someone at least halfway decent (score 6-9+ or so) at: Try to have someone (or more than one), covering those skills, as lacking them can lead to game-over.

Medical (healing the injuries you know are coming).

There are only 12 skills in Rimworld most important skills to have in the beginning are: Rolling for passions (one or two flames) is just as important as rolling for a high skill, because they will level up faster. Have at least two pawns capable of dumb labor. Stay away from colonists incapable of many tasks, especially ones with 'incapable of skilled labour. Remember, your characters can only do one thing at a time and they need time to eat and sleep. You can also move them down to 'save' them while you randomize a different character, if you find one you're not sure about.īottom line, you want a good mix of skills (see below) that are not crippled by disadvantages that will threaten them or your colony as a whole. You can click randomize on your colonists as many times as you want, without penalty. This can take some time, but with only 3 starting characters, you may want to get a good starting trio. (Flat terrain lack ores to mine and is difficult to defend, and a mountain base has advantages but is more 'advanced', taking longer to dig in the beginning and tending to suffer from bug infestations later on.) Large hills have plenty of ores and hills to build against, but less open land to build on and farm.

Small hills have some ores but the hills still do not provide much protection. You will also want to pay attention to the terrain type - try for ' small hills' or ' large hills'. Try between latitude 30 and 40 or so - too far south, near the equator, will be brutally hot very soon (summer), and too far north will have unforgiving winters. You want a map with a growing season that lasts from at least spring to fall, but probably not 'all year' (that's very hot). Now, look in the info tab (lower left on the screen). Bonus points for a river/creek, but hardly necessary. Once the world is created, pick a temperate forest biome to start, hopefully not too far from friendly(ish) tribes - the yellows and purples. Write it down for reference if you might want to duplicate your map later, once you know the game better.) (* The 'seed' is just a random word, lower/upper case sensitive. The default dimensions is a good size that won't cause too much lag. You can play with the seed* and map size of the world, but it isn't anything that will make a big difference to you yet.

(Note that these can be changed later as often as you wish, as you play the game, so don't worry too much about which one now.) You can do your own research in the previous link if you wish, but it is recommended to choose Cassandra Classic on Strive to Survive to get a feel for how the game is designed to play out. The storytellers only determine the random events that occur during your game. You can pick one of the 3 AI Storytellers, and a difficulty level. This guide assumes that you're choosing the classic 'Three Crashlanded Survivors' scenario it's a good 'first game' start, and many veteran players prefer it. There are 4 prebuilt scenarios to choose from. The first thing you'll be able to pick is a story scenario. Detailed analysis, tips and tricks, and 'best practices' will be skipped in this guide, excepting only to avoid 'game over' level pitfalls.įor a more detailed basic introduction see Basics. As its name suggests, this is a quick guide for starting quickly - when you want to play now.
