I noticed that RimWorld only uses 2 gigabytes of RAM. Since I like to play on very large maps, this fact makes me a little annoying. I want to allocate more than 2 gigabytes for this game. How should I do it? ???

Just 2 gb RAM ? Do you prolly use the 32 bit client.

When you use the 64 bit OS, then you should use the 64 bit Rimworld.
But when you use a 32 bit OS, you can't do anything.

Then be sure you have installed the 64bit Rimworld client.
BUT, maybe there isn't any reason for Rimworld to allocate more RAM. A vanilla gameplay even a medium colony (30 pawn) on a largest map (325²) on the largest world (50%) only take 1.3 GB RAM at my testing.

Sure when you use mods and more mods it need more RAM.
And the game can slowdown when you use more mods.
But when you use 64 bit OS and 64 bit Rimworld, Rimworld use so much RAM it need automatical.
Additional RAM wouldn't made any difference, and i don't know any way (at last for windows) to give any application more RAM than it need.
