Currently I'm trying to finish the game for the first time in my life and my approach is the following:
-No mods
-No wealth
-Going straight for the ship related researches
-Cassandra on rough (because I'm a noob :/ )

Can somebody whos actually done such a thing give me some tips?

PS: Current state of the colony: Spring year 2, hiding in the colony with my boars while ~15 foxes wait for me outside....

A really low wealth approach is Lost Tribe, without turrets and with minimum electricity used. Until you have High-Tech Research Bench you can run your entire base off 2 fueled generators. Train animals to help in battle. If you live in a year-round growing zone, research and plant devilstrand for nice armor. In general armor should be your priority when you have basics going, so research Machining as soon as possible.

Thanks.
Don't know why i forgot to post the screenshot yesterday but this his how things lokk right now:

I use moody and runtimeGC, didn't concider them mods.
But yeah I have a problem the generator is ourside^^
My plan, if I survive this fox-mayhem, is to finally get some silver, call a caravan sell all the stuff and buy food and resources for a multianalyzer to lower my wealth and free up space in my base.
Before actually going for the multianalyzer I may have to craft some armor or hope a raid drops some.

But exept the foxes things are looking good and it really opend my eyes when I noticed how hard wealth affects your game, staying poor makes it really easy!

The foxes arn't that strong. But all at once could be dangerous.
Since you got multiple doors, you should try to ambush some lonely fox around some doors.
If you got ranged weapons, just 1-2 shoot and hide behind the door.
Or force one door to stay open, while your pawn wait behind. Then you just need to fight 1 fox at the time. And 4 pawn vs 1 fox should down the fox pretty fast.

Don't raiders target beds?

Sappers target beds, not all raiders do. This can be used to set sapper traps. Raiders will target whatever takes their fancy.
Mods I would recommend:
Mending, Fertile Fields, Smokeleaf Industries and the Giddy Up series.

The Mod you must have:
