uninstall the game before it takes over your life.

really though prepare carefully or don't bother playing-after you have beat the game without it of course

Dear rimworld, if you sponsor Dave please force him to create a nudist addict colony which you can join only if you are a pyromaniac or a cannibal.

Surprisingly Competent! :) I always randomize until I find colonists with NO ailments...it usually takes me a while to find people lol

Trust me, Dave knows all about Doctoring in Rimworld. He knows what he's talking about!

Also, mods are awesome. The whole infinite creativity of the game is expanded significantly (or limited, depending on what you load in) by mods.

I absolutely refuse to take a pyromaniac into my colony. Not gonna happen.

I really like Quick Sleeper as a trait. Less sleep = more work. More work = less time to build things like walls and traps.

Fun tutorial!! I think you’d be great at “don’t do what I did” videos. Not saying you’d have a lot of material or anything 😛😉

Also have a colonist who doesn't mind being the person who does announcements. Those people come in handy when it comes to warning about raids, breaks or any other problems. Or just to tell the doctor who needs medical assistance. 😃

To make it more compact and add few things: Pick 3 people you like from initial rooster, then reroll the rest to see if there is someone better. (usually they will be worse, so you keep those 3 initial picks as backup) Don't pick people with "incapable of". You CAN afford that when you have +10 people, but not 3. Traits that give huge debuff are no-go. Tough is god-tier, it halves damage. Faster working/learning/walking/etc. is great. Skills - check out which game tags as "team skills" - THOSE ARE GOOD, YOU WANT THOSE (game is literally helping you, don't get used to that, scrub.). Except maybe melee if you have someone with decent shooting. Usually those high skills come with double-flame passion, but even one is okayish (you could go with no passion but high skill and then high passion no skill on other person). Relations - mostly optional, I had family members that went into red relation after few days because love triangle happened. Health - no junkies, no cripples. Some scars are okay tho, you're more likely to get few extra along the game. Age - young (20-30) adults. Kids are too stupid for start of colony (and you can make those anyway) and old people just die randomly. Race - if you read this because you need a tutorial, don't touch that button. You're not ready. Oh and don't get used to those people, lol. Base - temperate forest with river (small is best), mandatory all year harvest, good rocks to have: marble (arguably best one, look for this one and maybe some other), granite, sandstone, limestone, optionally road tile (IMHO check all river/road intersections, you may even bump map creation to 50% to have more picks).

This was great, Dave! I had to restart so many times the first time I played to get anything viable.

Nice tutorial. Ascetic is my favorite trait for starting colonists, and I will roll forever until I get an ascetic with good social.

One of my favorite traits, too. So easy to keep them happy.

Great tips! I like to make sure my cook and farmer are not the same person as they are both time-consuming jobs. For anyone who hasn't already seen it do check out Dave's first attempts, they are some of my favourites on the channel.

I have tried the tutorial like 4times now. And every single time, my bearskins will wither away or it doesn't give me enough to even make the samd bags. Then all my colonists die because I can't do anything until they finish the sandbags but I can't even hunt to get more skin. 10/10 tutorial. I am annoyed with this but I went to KZbin and found you plus AA :)

The worst two traits for me (but I usually start with naked brutality, so one colonist) are pyromaniac and wimp. Wimp is horrible. The first scratch in a battle and they go down. Food poisoning: they go down. They have become a little bit mire useful in later game since the introduction of genies, but only if you have plenty of other people. As for construction skill, 3 is the bare minimum for me to build traps. It's tough to start with zero and learn to build traps before the first raid.
