Watching this in September 2023, and I really appreciate your calmness and tips. So many loud and messy videos out there. Yours is straight to the point and easy to follow. Thank you!

[@BugPowderDust]

Thankyou, really appreciate the feedback, and glad you enjoyed it. I have created a more recent tutorial series which includes some of the DLCs, which you may find of use: kzbin.info/aero/PLjtNsCg0XFV3CkPSN9_lZ2G41DUZVeQy0

[@darkdrakan316]

Thanks again for making these tutorials, I have learned more from these 2 videos than the entire in game tutorial and my own play time. Good to see where you start as it can be overwhelming what to concentrate on first.

[@BugPowderDust]

You're very welcome. I am making the third (maybe the final one, we will see) tonight, and will upload asap. I am going to tweak the encoding as it looks quite muddy to me when the camera moves even though on HD

GREAT Wealth of knowledge here for me, I was playing Kenshi and Watching Rahdamant and he plays Rimworld as well. Looked really fun. But he didn't have tutorials. I failed miserably on my first colony this morning. This is amazing.

[@frere-orban6938]

It's a shame to see a man with such dedication have so little subs (in comparison to big channels, 2k subs is not little at all). You make helpfull videos. I hope you grow so you can help people as much as you helped me! Keep it up man!

[@BugPowderDust]

Thanks, you're very kind. Thing is, I don't expect to get subs when I'm largely inactive, and nor do I deserve them. I am just glad to be helping people learn

Just wanted to say that this is the best tutorial ive seen yet. The only one that worked for me. You describing what you're doing while you're doing it....is invaluable. Instead of just explaining mechanics....we get to see what you do and why you do it. Awesome stuff, thank you.

[@anastasiia1581]

very detailed tutorial - many thanks! why do you make separate rooms for each production? what's the benefit to making one big room for various crafts?

[@BugPowderDust]

Thanks :) no real reason to keep production seperate, OTHER THAN kitchen and butchering stations. Keeping a butcher table (which creates a lot of mess) and a cooker (which doesn't react well to a dirty kitchen) in the same room is a sure path to food poisoning.

[@RafalBorowski]

Could you put the cooling unit in a way that it's cooling the fridge area and heating a room where they sleep? Or would it generate too much heat for the room?

[@BugPowderDust]

You could, and it would work, but it's then hard to control- ie. if you have a heatwave, you can't just turn it off, or the room it's cooling would heat up and ruin the food within. Better to control heat separately with a heater, so you can turn it down (or use vents and put a gap room inbetween so you can open/ close vents accordingly

[@RafalBorowski]

Quick question how do you set for the roof to be built automatically? Must have missed that part

[@BugPowderDust]

It defaults to be built automatically. If it isn't, it means that it either doesn't qualify (make sure all walls and doors are built, so it's an enclosed space) or it's been explicitly stopped from being built

[@ArminiuSithus]

Thank you kindly

[@thomasgyting3251]

Great video! I have been playing for a little while, and have been starving/having mental breaks early on. I'm probably building too big of a structure on day 1. Keep it up.

[@logangraham2956]

why wouldn't you pump the heat from the refrigerator into the "living room" instead of outside . seems like a waste of a good heat source to me but idk how much it makes (i literally just got the game so idk a lot of stuff XD , watch the first one cause i wanted to know if it was worth it , i decided it was. continue to watch cause i wanted to know what happens next.)

[@BugPowderDust]

Thanks for the comment. This question comes up a lot, and it's smart thinking- to a point. You can indeed do this, but you need to be careful. If you are on a predominantly warm biome, or a colder biome in the summer, you can run the risk of overheating the room it expels into. You can't just turn it off (if you do, your fridge will warm up and spoil food). It's easier to have an independent heating source that you can turn on/off, as power is quite easy to get in the early stages of the game.

[@marn200]

How do you prioritize chopping trees?

[@BugPowderDust]

That is covered by Plant Cut. The Grow task covers planting and harvesting crops. Plant Cut covers stuff set to cut that isn't in a growing zone

Hey, great videos, thanks! Been trying to figure one thing out, and I can't find it on the wiki. When setting manual priorities, sometimes a box has a red outline. What does that mean? Wiki mentions gray-yellow scale for suitability, but not red...

[@BugPowderDust]

Hey Juliean, thanks for the compliment. The red outline means that they have a *very* low skill in that field, so you really don't want to get them to be doing it as it will take them longer and they have a higher chance of failing that task. If you hover, there is warning text that tells you this but it isn't obvious it relates to the red outline.

[@ChinchillaBONK]

I am just started playing literally yesterday, and another KZbinr mentioned to double wall the refrigerated area and put additional areas at the doors for like double entry doors to prevent heat seeping in. Is that a priority in early game? Or something that can be done later?

[@BugPowderDust]

Nah, you can do it later to be honest. There are other things that are more urgent in early game when you have few colonists.

[@joeltarnabene5026]

I wouldn't bother ever with double walls if you don't play in a very cold biome. Power is relatively cheap in this game.

[@cody8860]

man you had it easy. First playthrough following this I had to adapt quickly. A crazy boar attacked one of my members on the 2nd day and infected. Then when she recovered after being bedridden for several days a jackal came and tried to stab her. However, I wasn't taking any shit the 2nd time around and drafted everyone to fire at him at will. I felt sorry for the guy so I tended to his wounds and built a cell with a nice bed. Hopefully he comes around and I get an early extra worker. No hard feelings.

[@BugPowderDust]

No doubt. Early animal attacks have completely killed many of my early colonies- herd of revengeful muffalos will stomp your 3 or 4 colonists with terrible weapons and no armour.
