Started the colony with three female colonists. Between them they were well versed in all things survival, and the colony thrived! Food aplenty for everyone, power for all the needs of forging a bleak existence in the desolate wasteland that is Rimworld.
All until an alien ship crash landed on the planet. My three intrepid survivors (there was a fourth but we wont discuss what happened there!) attempted to destroy the wayward ship, but were driven back with their share of wounds. Unable to destroy the craft the local wildlife eventually went insane and I was left with a single colonist caring for her severely infected comrades. Both would eventually die leaving a lone survivor to bury their bodies and attempt to forge a living with insane wildlife hampering every effort to get food and construct adequate defenses. In addition to this, she would diligently feed and talk to a prisoner captured after a pirate raid before the ship crash landed, even while she herself was starving and hobbling around with a bum leg and a missing left eye. She finally released the prisoner after realising there was not enough food for the both of them, and she was finally alone. She finally succumbed to madness and ended up starving to death.
The most depressing thing about this is that I had a save game right before the other two colonists died, and must've tried around 10 times to keep the other two colonists alive but to no avail. It was like a horrific groundhog day for my poor colonist, doomed to repeatedly watch her friends die in horrifying agony and care for a prisoner that wanted nothing but her head on a spike.
Like others in this thread, I stopped playing for a while after that.
