Rimworld can be an intimidating game for new players, but it's also a fantastic game and one I encourage people to give a try. One of the first hurdles any beginning player has to face is creating their starting colony and choosing their initial colonists.

In the Crashlanded scenario, you choose 3 starting characters, and have to try to survive against raiders, weather conditions, starvation, animal attacks, sickness, and more. Along the way, you'll have the opportunity to recruit more colonists to help. Although these additional colonists can add to your abilities, your starting 3 will be a vital core to your group.

Whether you are a new player, or just looking to return to Rimworld after a few editions (the current edition is 0.19 or Beta 19, with the full 1.0 release soon on the horizon), this guide should help you create a strong initial colony.
