Colony Building Simulator versus Survival and Escape Simulator

[Jarwy]

1) How do you play the game? As a colony sim or survival/escape sim.
2) Have you built an escape ship and did you feel it was an accomplishment?
3) Do you refer colonists or survivors? (I know some people call them other things but of the two which would you use as a generic term for the people who come out of your escape pods)
4) Throw out any other thoughts and observations here.

1) I mostly play it as an escape sim as for me early survival experience is most fun and building a ship offers a satisfactory way to end the game before it becomes repetetive.
2) It is THE way to end my games of Rimworld.
3) I don't talk to myself when playing. I like to think them as colonists though. The feel I get from the game is that people crash landing think they can build a stable and successful colony there at first, but slowly come to realize that their current rimworld is too hostile and then wish to leave it to get to greener pastures.
4) It would be interesting to have multiple ways to end the game...
