Hi everyone,

Just bought the game, signed up to the forums, and introduced myself. I came to the forums to search for a beginner's guide, but there doesn't seem to be one yet. Plenty of videos, but not a clear written guide for a complete noob like me. I don't like watching hours of 'Let's Play' videos and the like to try and gleam useful information!

So I guess this thread is a plea for help; what do you do when you start a new colony? What are the priorities, what are things to bear in mind for the middle-game and end-game, etc?

Perhaps some of the more seasoned players could write a guide to help new players get started? I for one would certainly appreciate it.

Hi everyone

I'm Jaguar and I found out about Rimworld in a rather roundabout way: my friend Pegasus Epsilon (https://twitter.com/pegasusepsilon was tweeting Blitzkriegsler (https://twitter.com/Blitzkriegsler) about a more efficient '5x4' layout for hydroponics. I eventually found out he was referring to Rimworld and watched the video Blitz posted about 'Efficient Hydroponics' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYzEtvFUg2E). Then I watched the trailers for the games and after seeing all of this footage i was already sold, and when I read about the 'AI Storyteller' system I basically said 'hell yeah!' and coughed up $30!

I've only played the alpha for about 10 minutes so far, but it certainly seems to be a unique blend of genres form what I've seen so far. I have high hopes!
