[[File:ChooseScenario.png|500px|thumb|Default scenario choosing window, with the [[Biotech DLC]] installed and one custom-set scenario.]]

The '''scenario system''' allows you to choose, randomize, and customize special situations to play in. Determine the starting situation, type of community (tribe, colony), permanent map conditions, starting items, animals, health conditions, traits, and change special rules. In the image on the right, you can see the window for choosing scenarios and the "Open Steam Workshop" button (if you are using the steam version of the game).

==New Tribe vs New Arrivals==
Starting scenarios can be roughly grouped into one of two types, determined by the faction type the player will inherit. These are:
*'''New tribes:''' Inherited by the "Lost Tribe" default scenario, and selectable in the scenario editor.
*'''New arrivals:'''  Inherited by the "Crashlanded", "Rich Explorer", and "Naked Brutality" default scenarios, and selectable in the scenario editor.

There are some significant differences between the New Tribe and New Arrivals scenarios. 

=== Research ===
The most significant difference is the starting [[research]] and the long term effects on research speed. New Tribes begin with a different, and lower tech, set of research projects already completed, as described below. Note that custom and default scenarios may also add additional technologies to these lists.

Furthermore, new tribes start with a tech level of "Neolithic", while new arrivals begin with a tech level of "Industrial". This increases the research needed for new tribes to research technologies above neolithic, with the penalty increasing as the tech level does. Note that a great majority of techs on the research tree are classified as Industrial or higher.

===Other differences===
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Ideology drum/dance party access}}
* Tribals forage 70% more food while traveling. More info about how this affects nutrition can be found on the [[Caravan#Foraging|Caravan]] page.
* Tribals can build the [[hoopstone ring]] and [[Game-of-Ur board]]. Arrivals can build the [[horseshoes pin]] and [[chess table]].
** Hoopstone rings cost twice the material as horseshoes pins, for no meaningful difference beyond also requiring a [[Sight]] above 0% to use. The Game-of-Ur board costs half the material of a chess table, but provides less recreation.
* Tribals can craft the [[tribal headdress]] and [[war mask]].
* Tribals have a harder time recruiting from [[Factions#Pirates|outlanders and pirates]], and Arrivals have a harder time recruiting from [[Tribes|tribal factions]]. Recruitment difficulty is increased by 32%, which increases prisoner resistance (see [[Prisoner#Starting_resistance|Starting Resistance]] for details).
* Tribal starting pawns:
** Will all have [[Backstories|backstories]] from the "Tribal" category, which often have the Natural [[meditation focus]]. This allows most tribals to meditate at the [[Anima tree]]{{RoyaltyIcon}}.
*** Any [[children]]{{BiotechIcon}} of a tribe also gain the natural meditation focus, unless [[Growth vat|Vatgrown]] for enough time.
** Have a 2% chance to have one of the following artificial body parts: {{Tag List|value=50|techHediffsTags|Poor}}
* New arrivals starting pawns:
** Have [[Backstories|backstories]] from the "Offworld" category. 
** Have a 3% chance to have one of the following artificial body parts: {{Tag List|value=800|techHediffsTags|Poor|Simple|ImplantEmpireCommon}}

==Default Scenarios==
These four scenarios are in the base game. Each offers a different set of challenges, and encourages different playstyles to a certain extent. For example: you could start off as a 'rich explorer' who came from a high-tech glitterworld but yearned to explore the universe, or you could also start as a desperate tribe that's on the brink of starvation after fleeing from a devastating group of '[[mechanoid|blood machines]]'. On the other hand, you could be managing a few crashlanded civilians who barely escaped an assaulted passenger liner with their lives.

Here are the four scenarios listed in order as shown in game:

===Crashlanded===
'''Summary:''' Three crashlanded survivors - the classic RimWorld experience.<br>

As you gained strength, others became fearful. It became clear you needed to get away from the influence of humanity. Now you've migrated to this sparsely-populated rimworld with some of your metallic helpers. Finally, you have the space to grasp your true potential!

He made you into a sanguophage - an immortal blood-drinker hated by a thousand religions. You hid your condition for years, but eventually a hunter tracked you down. Stowing away on the first starship leaving the system, you barely escaped alive.

As you survey the structure from orbit, the scanner's audio feed forms garbled syllables which repeat your own name over and over. Your crewmate screams as her flesh begins flowing and reforming.

== Scenario editor ==
[[File:ScenarioEditor.png|200px|thumb|Scenario edit mode]]
The scenario editor looks somewhat like the default scenario choosing window except for the left side of the page has changed, there are now three buttons: Load, which you can use to load your previously saved custom scenarios. Save, which is used to save your custom scenarios. And randomize seed, which is used to randomize the scenario. Under these buttons is the Edit mode, which you can toggle to open a window like the one on the bottom-right.
