+ | *'''Growing''': Growing food crops. Starting a stable food supply is high priority as you start off with very little food. | ||
+ | **Aim to have 2 growers which can grow food crops. | ||
+ | *'''Crafting''': Crafting better weapons to replace the poor starting weapon choice. You can't craft good weapons until you research Smithing, however, so research is also important. | ||

The easiest solution is to look for ancient structures in the proximities which are already standing and require a wall patch or two. If there isn't any nearby, then a simple wood hut will do. Note that tribespeople need to research stonecutting. If you can't obtain a massive amount of steel due to lacking skillful miners, you will need to stick to wood for some time. However it's still very likely that stonecutting tech will be finished before you need to build any other room, as at early start you can just handle with an all-built in barrack. |

=== Growing crops === | === Growing crops === | ||
− | + | Crops differ one from another and your decisions will differ based on the "Growing period" of your map, be it 10/60, 20/60, 30/60 or year-round. Besides the crop of choice it is very important to analyze ground fertility, as this will have significance over plants development speed. Your growers skill points will affect the sowing speed as well. | |
− | + | * Rice grows fast and can be harvested soon. | |
+ | * Strawberries are second fast, can be eaten raw without any negative mood debuffs. | ||
+ | * Potatoes take a while to grow but provide more food. It is useful if there is a lack of fertile land as it has low fertility sensitivity. | ||
+ | * Corn has the longest growing period but it provides large quantities once it matures, this crop choice is better made once you have secured a large food storage. | ||
− | + | While food should be your main concern, there are two other plants you would do well to work on as well: | |
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | + | * Cotton can be harvested for cloth, while this material allows tailoring of apparel, you should store these to make Flak armor sets in order to prepare yourself against mechanoid attacks which shall start triggering once you have spent at least one year on your map. These enemies can easily blow off limbs and you will regret not preparing yourself well if you cant make protective gear for your colonists. | |
+ | * Healroot can be harvested for [[herbal medicine]] but requires a minimum skill level of eight, if your growers are not ready yet, keep planting the other crops until they reach this level. | ||
− | + | === Gathering and Hunting === | |
− | |||
− | |||
− | + | Raspberries can be found across the map , which can be harvested for decent early-game food supply. They grow fast, can be harvested multiple times and can be eaten raw without giving mood debuffs. | |
− | + | Hunting is the classic feeding way of pre-agricultural tribes since there is a gap between running out of your starter food and a successful harvest (min: 60% plant growth). You should mark some animals for hunting, your hunters equipped with ranged weapons will automatically shoot the animals from a distance. Try to go after large animals, they yield generous amounts of leather which your colonists can use to build [[bedroll]]s. | |

After you settle down and have spare time, chop trees for wood or hunt animals to obtain raw materials to make [[war veil]]s or [[war mask]]s.

− | + | Research is a high priority and should be set up as soon as food supplies are stable, because tribes research slowly due to their low tech level. | |

As you can’t build beds until you’ve researched them, you’ll want to use bedrolls or sleeping spots in these rooms. |

− | + | As you won’t have gun turrets for a long time, you may need to use deadfall traps to your advantage. Building a wall around your base could be useful to guide raiders into an entrance covered in deadfall traps, and building mazes filled with traps could be useful too. Just remember that colonists have a low chance of activating the traps and severely wounding themselves, so either put them in a checkerboard pattern or include shortcuts with doors for colonist access. | |
