Hey everyone, Adam here with another RimWorld guide.
A quick apology for the delay on these new guides, I flipped my stream schedule a full
twelve hours and it's been wreaking havoc on my sleep schedule.
But anyway, now you know which map to play on, which storyteller you want to choose,
what the different difficulties do, all that stuff, but you're asking yourself, which scenario
should I choose and how in the world do I decide which pawns to take?
Well this guide is going to answer just that.
In this RimWorld Starting Colonist guide, I'm going to be talking about the traits,
It's skills and passions that are best for each starting scenario in order to give you
the best chance at success.
As I talk about the first scenario, I'll also go over some general advice that will apply
for every start you do.
even custom scenarios.
All right, let's get started
with the first scenario offered to you, Crash Landed.
This is your standard starting scenario
and lets you begin with three colonists who,
as the name suggests,
crash land in drop pods onto your chosen map.
In addition to the three colonists,
you'll also start with some weapons, medicine, clothes,
and a little bit of food and material, and a pet.
In the character selection screen,
you'll see three selected colonists
and 5 left behind colonists. You only need to worry about rolling 3 good pawns, and can
use the left behind spaces as a sort of storage for well rolled pawns just in case you don't
find anything better.
As you start to reroll your starting colonists there are a few things to keep in mind. The
first is that traits are more important than skills, and passions are more important than
skill numbers. This is because you can always increase a skill level, but without mods you
cannot change their traits or passions.
So as I reroll I have my eyes specifically on the traits list. Instead of specifically
looking for a set of 3 god-like traits, I'm more concerned that they have no detrimental
traits. You can see my tier list of traits in an upcoming video, but for now just try
to make sure they do not have something that will decrease mood for themselves or other
colonists or decrease the amount of work they can do, like slothful or gormond.
Once you've landed on a pawn with no flat out negative traits you want to look at their
capabilities.
Sometimes these are an extension of their traits or backstory, but not always.
At this stage of the game with only three people we want to make sure that no one is
incapable of violence or dumb labor.
It's also a smart idea to make sure that you have some people that can fight fires.
Now, we will look at health and age.
Basically, you don't want to take anyone with existing health conditions.
There are some small caveats to this, for instance, taking someone with a painful scar
on their torso who's a masochist, but in general we don't want to see any pre-existing
conditions.
If the pawn has tons of great stats and traits, we may make an exception, especially if it's
something we can fix before mid or late game and doesn't slow the colony down much, such
as a cook or researcher with a peg leg.
