I dont play this game like a story teller. I play on easy, with weak raids, with no insta colonist death, no friendly fire, and with reloads enabled. I just wanna build a cool colony! But it got me thinking...

How do you guys play? super hardcore or really chill, somewhere in the middle perhaps? I wanna know.

I play on standard. I up the starting settlers to 6 but make them all drop naked in tundra biome for a neat survival from nothing scenario. Adds the risk of temp issues and colonist more immediate needs, but balances itself with more hands to do jobs to meet them. I also try to balance the ratio of men to women as much as I can to increase likelihood of kids to help the colony grow organically earlier. This post has made me have to fire up a new rimworld game now.
