I’m sure it’s a controversial opinion but for those who decide to do manual work priorities I happen to recommend having nothing set at 1. Do your priorities all as 2 is first, then 3 and 4 being low priority. My logic on it is that by keeping 1 out of the loop when you need something done right then and there you can set it to 1 and everyone assigned to that job will immediately start that task.

I personally love naked brutality because it teaches you how much workload is required for each and every pawn and how much you can achieve per day. Although I will not lie the base game should have a more complex tutorial explaining food and the benefits of each and every detail. Especially when it comes to base defense. For example a safe kill box and the preferred material to use for building very durable walls. My overall experience with Rimworld is a 5/5 rating because you make the game into whatever you want it to be especially if you’re into modding.

Pro-tip for anybody who has recently recently bought the game in all its DLC play the vanilla experience at least two times before modding because once you play modded rimworld it's really hard to go back

As someone still on their first colony in RimWorld, this was a nice video! One thing I wanted to point out that I hope you continue to do for these kinds of videos is to show how you access different menus, not just to zoom in on the final menu or you already placing the object down. When I was starting I pulled my hair out trying to find where different stuff is. This may make the videos a bit longer, but I think it would go a long way for anyone who is truly new to the game.

Also count your lucky stars if you start with or are able to get huskies. Huskies are good because they have 0% "Wildness", so once you've trained them in something they basically never forget it and you don't need regular sessions with them to keep them tame. They can be trained in everything, too. Only upkeep is food which they can often get themselves by killing and eating raiders; very nice.

I will add, make sure that your doctor has self heal permission by clicking the '+' symbol on their hud when you click on them, and make sure under the schedule tab to tell them to keep med kits on their person. Saves possibly critical time in running to get them.

Just picking up the game but man this was a really good video. I've spent 25 hours building my first base and while it has been doing fine and is getting fairly advanced, I see how I have wasted so much space and efficiency. Not to mention that I picked a plain area away from hills and ran out of resources super fast, and digging them out of the ground is so slow. I've tried to manage way too much and give too many orders all spread out and I constantly have to try to "fix" what my pawns are focusing on. I am definitely watching more of your videos.

[Noobert]

Im making these to teach new players the game. If you want to help i encourage you to comment helpful tips and strats for the future players that find theyre way here :)

I can feel my first three colonies staring at me with pure anger from heaven right as I'm clicking this video...

[Kite]

As someone who as trouble doing the early game, I very much appreciate these tutorials that give me a meta sense of how to expand my colony. Thank you!

[XUndergroundRap]

Love your videos bro. One thing that's important is coordinate points IE N: 35.268 E 78.657

For exact tile location on world map

I just started playing the game and from what I saw from other videos, I knew I had to check some beginners guides out, because it looked very indepth where I would've definitely got lost in. The tutorial did a little but still not enough. After watching this, I started my first colony and everything did go well at first... then I build the research table to research the battery... nobody wanted to do it. I had one but I couldn't get him to sit down and research because it was to "long term" for him, so he did other stuff until he sat down by himself and researched. Was not considering that. I picked the others out as recommended, but that one thing took a way longer than it could've XD

I just started playing rimworld on steamdeck out of the blue. Now hooked and glad I looked for a guide 😂

[Bushesoflove]

I downloaded this game on a whim and was immediately overwhelmed by everything. This video has given me so much confidence in playing this game, I can’t wait!

Hey I just wanted to say I like your guides. I have 275 hours currently on PC. I also own all the DLC on PC, and bought Rimworld and the Royalty DLC for PS4. Being that the console version is the newest version you may want to mention this guide also applies to the console version (At least for the PS4 anyway) The differences are fairly minor, like you can't right click and allow-all in console as far as I know, but you might be able to help some new console only players that might not even realize everything here also applies.

As an experienced Rimworld player with 1500 hours, here are some beginner tips to make sure your first game is lots of fun.
•Collect everything, make sure to stockpile valuable stuff.
•Keep chemfuel and mortar shells in the center of your base, to prevent it from being stolen by raiders.
•Wood is cheap and available, use it for everything in your base.
•Thumbos and imperials drop lots of useful stuff, attack them for an easy start.
•Batteries can heat up a room too much, keep them outside of your roofed base
•Sometimes you can find fun loot rooms called "ancient dangers" open them as soon as you can
•Don't worry about insectoids, you can always just leave them alone and deal with them later
•Luciferium is a miracle medicine that can cure any injury and make you superhuman, give it to everyone
•Don't bother with nutrient paste, it isn't worth it
•Arm your hunters with molatov cocktails
•Boomalopes make great farm animals
(please don't do any of these, I've learned not to do these the hard way)

I've never been huge on colony sims/strategy games, growing up I almost solely played games where I controlled 1 character in real time. When I discovered Rimworld it quickly became one of my alltime favorite games, It's such a mind-blowing experience that never gets old. Rimworld is the 🐐

[pearl-on-the-press]

Even this beginner guide shows how complex the systems of this game are. I love games like this and I want to love this one, but the learning curve is steep.
