Rich Explorer Guide

In the Rich Explorer scenario, you start off with a good amount of material resources, but only 1 person.

In-game, this is classified as a very difficult scenario.

Skills

You must choose a colonist that is capable of survival skills. This involves:

• Violence: Defending oneself from mad animals or raiders, as well as hunt for food.
• Dumb labor: Hauling, cleaning and cutting plants.
• Construction: Building shelter to live in.
• Medicine: Treating oneself when injured or sick.
• Cooking: Making meals out of raw food. While you can substitute raw berries for meals early on, it's not a reliable source of food.

Some skills will make survival easier, but are not essential:

• Animals: Training animals isn't quite a necessity early-game, but will greatly compliment you in combat, provided you have sufficient food to train animals.
  • It works as an alternative to Violence in a pinch, but this is not recommended.
• Growing: Growing food crops. If you don't want to exclusively rely on hunting or gathering.
