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). | The '''scenario system''' allows you to choose, randomize, and customize special situations to play in.

New | + | 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 points required by new tribes by {{Bad|+50%}} per level for technologies above '''Neolithic''', capped at 200% ('''Industrial'''). Note that most techs on the research tree are classified as '''Industrial''' or higher. | ||

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[edit]
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[edit]
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 points required by new tribes by +50% per level for technologies above Neolithic, capped at 200% (Industrial). Note that most techs on the research tree are classified as Industrial or higher.
Starting Research | |

New Tribe | New Arrivals |

Default Scenarios[edit]
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 '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 | Lost Tribe | The Rich Explorer | Naked Brutality | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Summary | Three crashlanded survivors - the classic RimWorld experience. | Five lost tribespeople attempt to rebuild. Difficult. | One rich explorer out to experience the universe. Extra difficult. | Naked, alone, and utterly unprepared. Can you survive? Extremely difficult and unfair. |
Description | The three of you awake in your cryptosleep sarcophagi to the sound of sirens and ripping metal. You barely get to the escape pods before the ship is torn apart. Some time later, you land on this unknown rimworld. | Your tribe was destroyed by the great blood machines sent by the gods. Five of you managed to escape. Now, it's time to build up a new home. | People called you crazy for leaving your glitterworld home, but you always yearned to explore the stars - outside the neurosimulator. Now you're at the end of your long journey in cryptosleep, landing on an unknown rimworld to see what it's like. | You went under anesthetic for a minor surgery. Now you've awoken in a drop pod crashing into a distant planet. You're naked, alone and utterly unprepared. Can you survive? |
Note: Since you'll start poor and research slowly, this is a difficult scenario. | Note: Since your starting character will lack some skills, this is an especially difficult scenario in the early game. | Warning: There is nothing fair about this scenario - it is extremely difficult and death can happen for any reason. | ||

Starting pawns | Start with three people, chosen from eight

The Mechanitor | The Sanguophage | |
---|---|---|
Summary | One mechanitor and a few servant mechanoids. | One crashlanded sanguophage needing blood to survive, and one human colonist. |
Description | You knew you could only achieve greatness with help. People were too unreliable, so you chose to take on mechanoids as your servants, workers, and warriors. 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! | When a dark stranger offered you a cure for your cancer, you were ready to agree to anything. 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. |
Note: Since your starting character will lack some skills, this is a difficult scenario. | Note: Sanguophages have unique strengths and weaknesses, which makes this a difficult scenario. | |

The Anomaly | |
---|---|
Summary | Three researchers and a ghoul investigate an ancient monolith. |
Description | Your research expedition has finally arrived at the source of the anomalous signal: an ancient archotech monolith on a distant planet. 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. A blinding beam of energy reaches up from the planet and tears your research vessel apart. You have disturbed something ancient and inhuman. |
Note: This is a difficult scenario and is not recommended for new players. | |

Scenario editor[edit]
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.
