This would be a bug report for creating a new game and it then crashing.

[Summary] (Summarise the bug in a short but concise manner. You should put the summary within the 'Subject:' Text box, so that the Tynan and Piotr can easily search for, or scan through relevant issues)

[Crash] Windows - The game will crash once a new colony is created.

[Description] (Describe, in detail, what the bug was, where it was located, and what it affected.)

If the user creates a new colony, whilst the colony is being generated The mouse cursor will become unresponsive, the screen will go black and the game will then close.

[Reproduction Rate] (How many times the instance occurred)
3/3 100%


[Steps To Reproduce](How you made the issue occur, including precise steps)

- Don't write the exact steps I have written, every time you write a bug report. I am simply showing you how precise to be:
1.Load Rimworld Version (Windows - 0.13.1135)

Thanks for the suggestion, but I've found it's better to keep things very simple for bug reports. Nobody's going to grind through all that. This format is enforced in Mantis and even private testers often don't really follow it.
