The same ship i guess? When you begin you don't get to know how many people were on the ship, do you? You don't know how big your ship was and i think assume that our 3 people are the only survivors, but that's how i think about it, since Rimworld is in alpha the 'plot/lore' can happen to have some holes.

How about defences then? Killboxes don't seem to work anymore and for sure not if you're not in a mountain, as you can see i was making one kind of "killbox" on the left-bottom side of the Colony but it takes way too much time and sapers tend to hit the walls anyway where are no traps. It looks like it is nearly impossible to defend yourself unless your building really slowly and build many turrets outside your base but after some time base grows of course and it's a waste of materials. About medicine and such I tend not to have a problem with it because I always start with an good medic and plant xerigium asap and try to make kind of workplace for him, because I tend to have good medic with research skill.

Also i tend not to load any saves because i really want my colony to survive... i did that sometimes in my first and second colony but it takes all the fun of the game if you ask me.

Hi!

I'm just new to this forum and RimWorld in general and i'm now busy with my third Colony, first went to hell because of things that i didn't know.. it lasted 5,5 years anyway! Second one survived nearly 3 because of too many raids and less luck.
Now my third one is in Tropical biome because i still wanted some challenge (Of course Cassandra isn't enough.. ) on the Builder difficulty and i've got one or two question about that too, but later.

Now i would like to know from u guys if my base is.. okay? I mean simply the layout of it and everything, i'm not an artist so it's not in a shape of a star or anything: http://imgur.com/a/sQjOA

And now about the difficulty... well i like to build colony just on my own and see how far it can get etc. I like to make rooms for my colonists to fit their personality but often i get borred of it, because sometimes there's nothing to do like i have all the rooms i need for them and now what..? The problem didn't exist in my first colony on the same difficulty but then i didn't know that much about the game of course, and there.. well let's say Cassandra went crazy even when my colony didn't have that much wealth. Now it's pretty big and i have many turrets and my colonist shoot everyone and sometimes get killed (6 deaths till now..) or wounded but now like for 2 years (in-game ofc) it get's... boring. I can kill everybody pretty much and there's not that much to do so i began building ship.. but it takes so many materials! I thought about getting to Challenge difficulty but i've seen some let's plays and it looks like raids are starting way to fast and i'm really.. slow starter. Question is, do i have to learn to start just fast enough for challenge or is rough maybe an option too? Basebuilder doesn't seem a challenge for me anymore but i like to make bases too but after some time it get's boring if there are no raids and you can't check how your defenses are.

And main question is if you can give me some advice about making my base more.. productive but still personal?

I have my 6 years colony where I've got one of the best medics in the world i think, her name is Sparks and sometimes i needed some organs for my colonists, a heart here and there after some time of doing this her skill grew and grew. It's now on 17 because she can't do her job full-time anymore because of the stomach that she got shot at and destroyed. Who would dare to do that would you think? Well a man from one of the factions that i once kidnapped after a fight, I took one of his organs aswell and after he was healed, released him. He came back like 1 year later and i guess he wanted a revange... bastard was then killed by my best sniper after i've seen what he has done to my favorite colonist 
It's one of my favorite moments thought, because of the actual karma that got my poor Sparks...

Oh dear god I've ended part 3 now and I can tell it's amazing! I really love Sephara! She can order food really well! 
Keep up the good work it's really creative and nice!

Hi!

My Name is Maciek (Maciej officially) i'm 17 and i come from Poland but live in Holland 7 years already.
I play games since my father bought a computer and big fat monitor and we've got then internet at home. Because my father was into gaming itself i always watched him playing games like Warcraft II or Starcraft 1 and then got into these games myself. I've played then games like Sims 1 and 2 too and by that time we've moved to Holland when i was nearly 10. My "game experience" comes more from older games like Spellforce The Order of Dawn and it's expansions. Silent Storm, Warcraft II - III, Original War (I love it!) and Actually all generations of Sims because i like simulation games pretty much and building houses. I've played all kinds of games even online FPS like Combat Arms for a year or RPG like Metin for 1 year and 6 months. I always sucked at games where the time was the most needed thing, like in Starcraft 1 and 2 because i always liked to build kind of nice bases, so i only played the campaing and tried a little bit of online but lost like 10 times in a row and said that it's just not for me.

-What introduced you to RimWorld? Or to this style of game in general?

Looking for such game actually... i always looked for a game where you're supposed to build an colony or town of not that high number of poeple and make it bigger by the time and "support" them, that way i've played games like Banished but there were no fights which sucked a little and after having all the buildings and no "purpose" in the game i left it because there was no challenge. Some time later i've bought Project Zomboid which i still find nice as an survival game but i've got lucky and every little and first/second small "scratch" got me infected so after 30 times i said "F*** it" (I've played on the survival mode maybe that's why.. it is default thought..) and looked for something different. Prison Architect looked interesting but after playing it i've seen that i didn't get that much of control what my poeple did and sometimes the game was a little bit confusing so after that i couldn't find anything that looked good to me because i'm not one of the hardcore gamers who buy Battlefield and such.. (Since i suck at FPS games expect Combat Arms mentioned above) and the only good game was Don't starve that i've played for like 6 months or longer which didn't hid that many secrets from me after a while and became boring too, then i heard of Rimworld after looking for Simulation Colony games because i liked Space Colony so much i looked in that kind of genre and found it. I've looked at some Youtube gameplays of it before buying it and actually all the information went into my brain so after weeks of watching videos about it i decided to buy it and so started my history with it (Now i'm on my second Colony that still exists for 5 years and 7 months, yeah!)

-What's your favorite other game?

Hard one because i have many, my top 10 would be: Original War, Spellforce 1 (All expansions), Don't Starve, Warcraft III, Starcraft I and II (Only Campaign, plot is awesome), Silent Storm + Sentinels, The Elder Scrolls Oblivion + Skyrim (Oblivion first!) and Warhammer 40K the first one because the second one was way too boring and short. And a Nice place for Diablo 3 should be existing too!

-Most embarrassing gaming-related story?

I don't know if i have one... well i just suck at online games maybe let's say that as a whole, i always was behind if we talked about gear and couldn't pvp with... all of the poeple? Yeah i was more chatting person tham a really player or someone who loves pvp and gear.

-What kind of breakfast cereal is the best?

I love most kinds of Musli with Greek Yogurt and some honey, does that count?

Whooo what a long post...
