You can't deal with almost any events like that. Until you dealt with it you have to pay attention. For example if there is raid you can't just put your pawns in good places, unpause and go make a tea. I assumed that, at least.

There are all non-obvious mechanics there. If you have some specific mechanic in mind that you have problem with - just ask, many people here can answer. I learned almost all from rimworld wiki.

1. Plant an extra. Blights, toxic fallouts and other stuff can happen.
2. If you see that you underplanted - start hunting safe animals (with 0% chance on revenge).
3. If it's not enough you can "manually" feed colonists (it's not too tedious if there are not many of them). For that set them on "nothing" food restriction and when they are near-zero hunger you order them to eat. That way they need ~40% less food.

Cmong guys, it's easy question.
Just mark all blighted crops to cut (not harvest) and set priorities of cut plant to 1 (and other tasks with bigger priority).
#5
Don't smooth walls or floors. 1 good or excellent sculpture per working room is enough to get impressive bonus buff and it's optimal choice.

I can recommend my guide for max difficulty - https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=46290. It can be useful on lower difficulties too.

First of all. Before activating reactor prepare all you need (bricks and so on) for 15-day siege and get rid of all unneeded stuff. That's crucial. No stockpile of bionics.
Secondly, always wear you armor. It can survive 15 days of use.
Thirdly, have a good stockpile of go-juice. It really helps. Don't be afraid of addiction, just be ready for heart attack.

I have the whole thread about my way of playing: https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=46290.0
In short:
I start with 1 pawn.
I make all his skills at zero and no interests or traits.
He starts naked with no items.
Difficulty is merciless with no save/load, of course.
I disable all good and neutral events (I only leave trade caravan to guarantee myself advanced components in future). Full list in post in my signature.
I forbid myself to get other pawns.
I forbid myself to use current wealth mechanic regarding health of items and bulidings.

It took me roughly 11 years to launch the ship. It would be sooner if tribal research of ship wasn't so slow or if I had better pawn.

I tried to make most hard game for myself, so I did this:
I start with 1 pawn.
I make all his skills at zero and no interests or traits.
He starts naked with no items.

I disable all good and neutral events (I only leave trade caravan to guarantee myself advanced components in future). Full list in post in my signature.

1. Yes.
2. Yes.
3. No.
4. Not directly (only through pawns opinion).
5. Not directly (only through insults/deep talks).

My statement gave more so options on all the things you can do to make it easier by the level of skill they are. I did say I don't min max (as in wealth management to extremes) in my games. I do a little but not by much. Overall it is just having a plan.

Of course there is more. Most of it I covered in my merciless guide, did you check it? When I finish my last run I will update for more cool tricks.

@Gadfly
Only way to own 500 golden statues is to damage them (which for devs seems like a legit strategy). Personally I not only use that mechanic for buildings, I don't even use it for items (I play as if health affects their utility).

I was playing with this mod for a while and it causes some problems with npc pawns. For example caravans leave immediately when temperature is low because their apparel is not new.
Is it possible to somehow make this mod work only for colony pawns?
#13
Temperature penalty do not apply to simple research bench. Seems to work for all other benches.

I tried doing that but they won't pick it up and store it.

Then you should use algorithm that was posted by Canute. They pick up reserve when they use drug. So you need to set policy so that they would use it, then switch to 1% mood after they pick it to inventory.
#15
Hm. May be slow change is the reason why devs disabled utility deterioration of apparel with health?
