And if temperatures get above freezing early, I may plant some outdoor crops around Apr 10 (late spring). By starting on Dec 1st, I can get up and running by the time the short summery growing season starts around Jul 1. It’s going to get cold during the winter and I’m starting on Dec 1st (but with plainleather fur coats and fur hats).

It can also be fed into pemmican and other simple/fine/lavish meal recipes. Good for feeding dogs/pets if you don’t want to or can’t make kibble. This is a nice middle-ground between long-lasting pemmican and simple meals that expire after 1-3 days. Using it for a wood supply is also possible, but labor intensive.Īnother approach is Smoked Meat which lets you dry/cure 10 or 40 units of meat at a time into something that lasts for 30 days. With a tribal start, you’ll have access to a meat substitute right at the start. It’s less efficient than normal crops, but makes up for it due to the simplicity.

You can supplement with camp fires hidden behind an open door to keep the temperature up. Put a dark room around a steam geyser, plant melrotus and vanetike all year around. As long as you can harvest enough leather/pelts from the wildlife.įor easy food, Underground Food is something that makes growing food in a cold biome really easy. Given the low technology level, a colder area is somewhat easier to deal with. I like tribal starts, but not “naked brutality” starts. The colony of Halogen-1 will be founded in the Boreal Forest on a world that is slightly colder and much wetter than average. I’m also a builder and a coward, so a lot of the mod settings make everything easier at the start. Starting a new RimWorld colony in 1.0 with a world seed of “Halogen” and lots and lots of mods.
