− | + | Colonists are the living inhabitants of each RimWorld colony. Each colonist has specific skills, positive and negative traits, and a character background. In general, colonists are every [[Human|human]] except for [[Raider|raiders]]/[[Traveler|travelers]]/[[Prisoner|prisoners]]. The colonists come in various outfits based on their background, which can be seen by looking at the 'Character' tab in game. | |

− | + | Upon creating a new colony, a screen where 3 colonists can be <!--currently--> randomized individually is shown. Each of the colonists has a name, an age, a backstory, limitations, traits, and skills. The name is the only information that does not alter a colonist. The age can cause Cataracts, a bad back, and Frailty. Traits can cause mood disruption, psychic resistance, increase in skills, and so on. | |

+ | ===Backstory=== | ||
+ | Each colonist will have two parts to their backstory: childhood and adulthood. Each trait has a small story to go along with it, with the name of the colonist filled in for each story. Each different backstory has different effects on the colonist such as: increasing stats, decreasing stats, and disallowing certain tasks. Such information is important to consider when creating the first three colonists for the new colony, as future colonists can sometimes be hard to come by. | ||

− | === | + | ==Playing== |
− | + | The game begins with three colonists being dropped in escape pods on the map. This is how the first three of the colonists are introduced onto the map, although the rest will walk onto the map from the border. Upon generation of a new colony, starting characters will generally be outfitted with synthread t-shirts and pants. In addition to being clothed, a pistol, survival rifle, and knife are dropped beside them as they emerge from their pods, along with medicine and food. | |
− | + | ===Equipment=== | |
+ | Main Article: [[Weapons]] | ||
− | + | Colonists can be equipped with various items which are shown on their information panel while individually selected. They can only be equipped with one item type at a time, meaning a single shirt, a single weapon, and so on, and their skill with their weapons is determined by their skill with Shooting, for projectile based weapons, and Melee for the rest. An example of this can be seen below. | |

− | === | + | ===Overview=== |
− | + | The overview screen allows manually setting tasks each colonist is allowed to perform. Colonists will have a natural aptitude at a task, and have no check-boxes for tasks they are unable to perform. | |
− | + | [[File:ColonistOverview.png|200px|thumb|none|With default prioritization]] | |
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | + | As of build 243, one can prioritize a colonist's actions manually. To do this, one goes to the Overview menu, and checks the Manual Priorities box in the upper left-hand corner. The colonist has the numbers 1-4 in each check-box available, with 1 being the highest priority. If two or more tasks have the same prioritization number, then the colonist will do tasks from left to right, in relation to the task menu. | |

− | + | ===Thoughts=== | |
− | + | The Thoughts tab shows what your colonist is thinking and experiencing, whether good or bad, and these thoughts will increase or decrease [[mood]]. | |

− | + | ===Needs=== | |
− | + | Colonists have basic needs that, if not met or if met beyond expectations, affect their [[Thoughts]]. The Needs tab also shows the current effectiveness of the colonist. | |
− | + | The needs, shown in the Needs tab, are: | |
− | |||
− | + | * [[Rest]] - the need for sleep. | |
+ | * [[Food]] - the need for food. | ||
+ | * [[Beauty]] - the need for a desirable place to live. | ||
+ | * [[Space]] - the need for space. | ||
+ | * [[Comfort]] - the need for comfortable places to sleep, eat and relax. | ||
