So I just bought the full game for $30 and have downloaded the windows version (as I am currently using windows). The only problem is I don't know how to install it and start playing. What comes up is a file named RimWorld532Win and when I open it (double click) it comes up with more files: Mods, RimWorld532_Data, Source, Version, etc, etc. I am not very good at downloading stuff and if directions were supposed to come with the purchase I didn't get it. Please help me so I can play this awesome looking game! Thanks.

i would suggest you install winrar and / or 7-zip on your machine, nowadays you need those extracting tools for many purposes anyway.

after that just rightclick on that file and click "extract here", of course i would put the file in an seperate "RimWorld" (or whatever you wanna call it) folder first.

after that in the folder you just extracted is a file named "RimWorld532Win", depending on your windows setting it may or may not have the addition ".exe". rightclick on that file and then "send to" -> "desktop". that way you have now a desktop link to run the game and you don't have to open up the folder every time you wanna play.
