It’s basically the Sims but sci fi.

>>734123290
Just play it over and over until you get it.
You could follow tutorials and such but you'd be robbing yourself from the process.

grow corn and put in your freezer until a mech raid with 50 centipedes destroys your base
also make sure to buy the book

Dont build floors
Dont build statues
Dont build anything with value that does not have a use
Dont install cybernetics (they increase pawn value)
Send all your trash to other factions to increase relations
Call said factions to wipe raids for you when their relations hit 100
Sell raider trash and stuff from the faction troopers that died helping you to buy more stuff and keep relations at 100

play permadeath

you dont need to make rooms, just a big super defensive circle full of pillars

>>734123648

My best advice is to instal a couple of mods related to food such as fishing. Mostly fishing.
Maintaining a base, fighting intruders off, etc. is mostly RNG, sometimes you're too good but you still get fucked. But you never get good access to food unless you cheese in some way, or install mods, and so your pawns get angry and psychotic and that can ruin the fun too early.

>>734126170
have you tried growing rice or hunting animals? bruh

The more pawns you have, the fewer random pawns you'll get asking to join, and fewer raiders that survive battles. Don't accept losers just for an extra pair of hands, only recruit pawns you want long term (eg 150% or more shooting xp gain, good health, young, with a useful secondary skill.)

Make floors out of hay, dramatically reduces the ugliness of the rooms while reducing the time spent cleaning, all for negligible increase to colony cost.

Give your colonists long range weapons, like greatbows or rifle. Stay out of range of the enemy. Don't trade shots, even with cover. Shoot, move. Being able to kite in this way is by far the most important skill, it's how the nerds play on 500% threat.

Deconstruct every single thing on your tile, even the floors. You can either use the stone or caravan it off the map. Some tiles have literally thousands of stone blocks installed around, adding wealth to your colony.

Mine corridors in large rock formations to find hidden resources. There's usually at least steel, and often components, plasteel and gold in the middle of mountains. All adds to your wealth.

Set zones in your prison cells, so if a prisoner goes beserk, you can send an animal to the cell to fight them without waking up your colonists. You can keep multiple prisoners in 1x2 cells if you have a bear or a warg to put down escape attempts.

The lowest wealth, highest value clothing set up is cloth tribal wear, leather duster.

>>734123648
>Dont install cybernetics (they increase pawn value)
retard, what they provide far outweighs the small increase in raid size you're getting

that's a (You) problem, because Rimworld is a story simulator and you are in charge of your objectives (outside the in-game ones). Each expansion adds so much variety, challenges and possibilities, so if you are bored you lack imagination.

In addition, there're so many mods that overhaul the game, so there's no excuse for lack of "end game".

>>734127579
It honestly doesn’t make sense for the overall wealth to contribute to raids. Why the hell are raiders bringing extra soldiers to swipe the granite floor tiles?
Hunter pack sized ought to be scaled off food, tribals off raw resources, raiders off precious metals and robots off technology

>>734123290
>What are some beginner tips for Rimworld?
The more wealth you have in your colony, the stronger raids will attack you.
So don't stockpile tremendeous amounts of stone blocks, or extra chairs, or whatever. Zero reason to own 20 low quality pistols. Sell all that crap, or donate it for rep.
Only hold a reasonable surplus of food and medicine, only recruit reasonably skilled colonists, always make sure that your military power grows at least as fast as your total net worth.

And remember, losing is fun. The point of the game is doing damage control as things burn.

>What are some beginner tips for Rimworld?

Start farming as soon as possible, first with rice since it's the fastest growing food source and once you have it stable switch to corn, takes longer,but has a far greater yield and can grow more food on a smaller area, this is to sustain and to produce extra for winter. yes you can hunt ,but that's inconsistent

You should speedrun battery ,solar power, wind turbine research , this can hold your power needs all the way to endgame.
Don't needlessly collect stuff you don't need, especially high value ores like gold, since the higher your colony value the harder the raids will be.Or you can use launch pods to "donate" extra stuff to other colonies for positive reputation.

If possible, have each colonist be a specialist in each stat , especially like a crafter or builder, artists are a nice easy way to make some cash as well since you can use basic wood to make high value sculptures you can sell or keep for increasing you colonies room beauty .

Try and get your colonists to craft some dusters out of decent leather, They are both decent early armor and are good for combating both hot and cold temps.

>>734128278
The only things more worthless than granite are sand and seawater.

one of these days I will try rimjobworld

probably not though

Whatever you do don't install the sex mods or you will become a goober, it's a deep rabbit hole.

My main issue is that my base has become way too big. It takes my pawns hours just to reach the kitchen to eat or get to their jobs. By the time they arrive at the worksite, the day is already over.

>>734136068
I never really saw the point of the sex mod, just like in skyrim it's fun for like 10 minutes and it loses it's novelty.

>>734136228
Make a mini fridge near their worksite filled only with meals and a table outside they can eat at.

>>734136228
Why not just optimize the base? If it takes them that long to reach the kitchen then just store some food in other places for them to eat

>>734136290
>>734136328
But they still need recreation. I can't move that to every worksite.

>>734137004

there's a reason the dev recommends medium size maps on new game creation

if you insist on playing larger maps then you have to split the colony into groups and have people (slaves) who's only job is to haul and create multiple barracks

>>734123290
Start in moderate climate with warm winters so that you can farm all year long. You can easily survive winters, but it's another headache on a first run.
Set up your pawns' jobs, if nobody has construction skill for example, select any pawn, enable construction on it and disable it on the others so that it starts accumulating skill.
Start farming early, a tiny rice farm goes the long way.
Build traps around corners of the buildings so that a random early raid or animal don't fuck you up too hard.
Consider using QoL mods.

You should underestimate farming times, emergency supply, power cut, cleanliness, medicine (you can fix it later anyway) and so on.

as >>734127142 said
>Don't accept losers just for an extra pair of hands, only recruit pawns you want long term
The game try to keep you from having more than 12 spawn and kill them out

Do use "zone" for everything, especially smart animals to keep them from dirtying the interior
So you can forbid entire area to your pawn, or keep them safely inside when there's trouble.

There's tons of layers to this thing. Here's a few:

Turn on manual priorities. There's no reason why you wouldn't want to rank the importance of jobs on your pawns.

Anyone with acceptable doctor skills should be carrying medicine or medical herbs on your "Assign" tab.

If you hold shift, you'll queue a command instead of interrupt whatever they're currently doing. Very useful, do it any time something isn't an emergency.

Grow rice for good food with quicker yield. Grow corn for higher output but longer wait.

A perimeter wall is ridiculously useful. Just have reasonably spaced entry points (one per cardinal direction) or enemies will try to smash it.

Get Biotech. It remains the best expansion.

If you're doing anything with Ideology, make damn certain you have 1 starting colonist with high Social skill. It's useful outside Ideology, but converting troublesome belief systems to your own is going to be important or they'll be constant problem-childs.

Turn down all your colonists' best useable medicine so you don't use glitterworld medicine. You need it for biosculpting, so it'd be retarded if you accidentally used it on a scrape.

Build freezers with double-thick walls, and airlocks (at least two doors, autodoors are best) to keep the cold in.

DO NOT build a butcher table in the same room as the cooking stove. One creates filth. The other makes your pawns sick if filth is present.

>>734123648

>>734126430
Yeah but rice is not satisfying enough and the animals are either too dangerous or don't provide enough food in the long run. Both of these sources heavily rely on RNG, and the fishing mod adds a reliable food source while staying balanced (fishing skill + time/workforce cost + different types of fish).
The two most punishing aspects of Rimworld are food sources and intruders and fishing removes part of the food scarcity problem.

>>734143575

One of my best moments in Rimworld is dealing with a huge infestation.
Regular guns didn't work, I was overwhelmed fast.
Fire didn't work, panicking bugs on fire just moved towards the colony anyway.
I figured out that if I close all the cave exits then it becomes a room and if you start a fire in a room temperature will rise and anyone inside will die of heatstroke eventually.

I never installed sex mod.

...but that's only because I'd need one catering to my extensive bondage fetishes without going into retarded anus size simulation.

Alternatively you can play on the lowest difficulty with a non-Randy narrator to make the game very easy. I suck at these management/colony games and still never wiped because it's very easy, unless you have 0 defenses and extreme colony value for some reason.
You can also savescum random events, so if something bad happens that puts your colony at risk just reload a save from 5 minutes ago and something less bad might happen.
No reason to not play 50% of the game even if you suck or are a pussy.

something about a colonist breaking medicine because they're mad makes me a special kind of livid
