Topic on Talk:Sea Ice Guide

In the first three years most of the time there is a person doing caravan while at least one person is at base protecting and researching. I would say 2 caravans per mouth.

It would not be profitable to go further down bellow ice sheet this often because it would be necessary to use pemmican instead of simple meals due to the temperature, which would cost more wood to cook and would weight more which would result in more travel time and lower loot. And you have to be lucky in the first place and have someone sell vegetables to you.

Most importantly, sea ice is too far from tundra for quests to appear there. There is no tundra in the closests 10 tiles around. In the 25 tiles around the base 70% is sea ice, 15% is ice sheet and 15% is tundra. It is not even worth mention it, I got only 1 quest in tundra 3 years of gameplay.

If you look at the pictures you will see the "escapes" are to sea ice and ice sheet quests locations usually with only a single snowhare to hunt and hopefully a raider to kill, which is still better than staying in the colony doing nothing.

Just because you can not figure out how to play Sea Ice with Tribals or Naked Brutality does not mean it is impossible. I would write about Naked Brutality too but it is actually easier than Tribals.

In Sea Ice there is literally nothing to do besides caravaning in the beginning. Picking Crash-Landed/Rich Explorer and sitting in a chair for years waiting for rice to grow will never allow you to create a colony.

In other words, you will trade and do quests endlessly in this biome no matter what start you pick.
