+ | *'''Construction''': Building a shelter for your tribe. | ||
+ | *'''Dumb labor''': Hauling, cleaning and flicking switches. | ||
+ | *'''Medicine''': Treating the sick and injured. | ||
+ | **Since herbal medicine has a low medical potency, the doctor needs to be skilled and have a clean room to work in. | ||
+ | *'''Research''': Researching new projects. Since your tribe is slow to research many projects, you may want to start soon. | ||
+ | *'''Plants''': Growing food crops and cutting plants. Starting a stable food supply is a high priority because you start off with very little food. | ||
+ | **Aim to have at least 2 growers. | ||
+ | **Also useful for [[caravan]]s. In biomes and seasons where it's possible to do so, tribes forage at a rate of 170% while traveling. Forage amounts are determined by a colonist's Plants skill. | ||
+ | **Consider your [[Biome]]. Healroot does not grow in Tropical Swamps; you'll need a grower with skill 8 to sow it. Desert and Tundra have very little wood; you'll need a grower with skill 6. | ||
+ | *'''Mining''': Obtaining metallic resources such as [[steel]] for building better equipment. | ||
+ | *'''Cooking''': Cooking food without giving your colonists food poisoning. | ||
+ | *'''Crafting''': Crafting weapons and clothing. | ||
+ | *'''Social''': Convincing captured prisoners to join forces with you, as well as bartering for resources. | ||

Whenever possible, make more pemmican. Since you start with [[pemmican]] researched already, as long as you have both meat and edible plants, you can make it. It can last over a year (70 in-game days) without spoiling, and potentially longer if it spends time being refrigerated or frozen. It also does not have a cooking skill requirement to make. | Whenever possible, make more pemmican.

− | One way to do this is to have two fueled stoves, or a campfire and a fueled stove. At your primary cooking station, set a bill for meals which includes only your most skilled cook. Set a second "do forever" bill for pemmican with either no minimum skill requirement, or one which includes your second-tier cooks. ([[Food poisoning]] chances in previous versions were only affected only by kitchen cleanliness and cook skill level. This will make it easier to convert meat into pemmican as fast as possible whenever you have both, so you don't lose as much meat to spoilage. | + | One way to do this is to have two fueled stoves, or a campfire and a fueled stove.

Pemmican seems to be less likely to give food poisoning than other food types, though it can still happen. Testing is needed.)

A [[passive cooler]] can't achieve true refrigeration in the summer; these are mainly useful to keep colonist living areas cool enough to avoid mood penalties. You won't be able to slow food spoilage in warm weather until you have researched Electricity and Air Conditioning. | A [[passive cooler]] can't achieve true refrigeration in the summer; these are mainly useful to keep colonist living areas cool enough to avoid mood penalties.

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. These give slight protection, increase pain threshold allowing your tribespeople to hold out in battle longer before falling. |
Once you've researched Complex clothing, you may wish to prioritize temperature-resistant apparel. If your biome has extreme temperatures this is even more urgent. If you're low on crafting materials or haven't completed the research when the extreme temperature season rolls around, you may have to resort to wearing parkas or dusters scrounged from dead enemies. Avoiding heatstroke and frostbite is important, and the negative [[thoughts|thought]] from wearing one item of tainted apparel (-3) is smaller than any of the negative thoughts from being too hot or too cold. | Once you've researched Complex clothing, you may wish to prioritize temperature-resistant apparel.

− | + | It's a good idea in general to have a collection of steel spike traps (or stone at minimum) built but uninstalled and kept in storage. These can save you time if your storyteller sends you multiple threats in a short timeframe. But they are invaluable when you begin to get mechanoid ship parts starting around year 2. The weapons and armor you have available may not be enough to defeat mechanoids without heavy casualties. So setting up a pathway of spike traps along your attack vector will be very helpful in dealing with a mechanoid ship part. Build carefully - installing any player-built structure closer than 4 tiles to the ship part itself will crack it open as though you had attacked it. | |
