So here's something a little different. It's a slightly modified Rich Explorer start with two people and a special rule not to recruit anyone and have all wanderer and refugee events turned off. The goal? Get off this rock. The planet's fully generated though, so it's a long, long way to the spaceship...
Any advice, tips, or the like greatly appreciated; and you can follow my progress here:

We start taking penoxcyline asap.

We get caught in a brief firefight. Princess takes two in the chest, but seems okay. Thorton patches her up, and doesn't leave a scar. :D

We're notified of the spaceship. It's a little bit away...

We waste no time in making our way towards the ship. We have to stop to make preparations for winter though.

Our winter camp. We'll be here a little while, so we make it a little cozier.

Some raidin', some tradin' just a normal few days out here in Rimworld.

We pick up a pet fox, because they're efficient (but mostly because they're cute and I don't notice the super awesome cool timber wolf we could have got instead). Also, the squirrels turn on us...

Winter arrives, and we settle in for our first - but probably not our last - winter on this backwater rim world.

We trade for some armour and get a pair of decent armour vests. It's probably not going to help all that much if we get shot, but I feel better that we're at least trying. XD

A fire nearly burns down our tiny lodge. I hate fire.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j45Q0rWrNIU
Never liked the place anyway, so we move on...

... and arrive here. A "temporary" camp.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xfq9wEHuQ8M
Our caravan, containing all our worldly goods (and people) is ambushed. I'm calm about it now, but it doesn't stay that way for long...

We perform emergency battlefield surgery involving suturing up a leg, sewing a stick into the hole where the leg used to be, and watching a massive fire slowly encroach on our operating theatre...

We need more food for the final push to the spaceship.

There's gold in them thar hills!

I really wish there was something between putting fires out with your hands, and using firefoam poppers.

We recover from the fire.

oh, yeah, and Thorton dies in 8 hours...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8J1RovxaAE
We make our final preparations for the journey to the spaceship.

It's a long, long slog out there. Filled with ambushes and boredom. Obviously I cut out the ambushes and make ye watch the boredom! XD

And we're outta here! Two strangers, and a long journey that's finally come to an end.
