Cover in RimWorld can be found in three ways: Rubble, Sandbags & Walls.
Rubble
Rubble is littered all over the map and will be used by attackers to gain an advantage over you. You can also use rubble for protection, but the random rubble placement is unlikely to favour you. so it's advisable to use it as a last resort
SandBags
Sandbags are the easiest and cheapest method of protection. U shapes are good for one character to hide in. Zigzag patterns will allow multiple characters to cover close together, which is handy if you want to focus fire on a few attackers.
Sandbags enclosing a turret make a great attack point But keep the turret repaired, as it will explode when destroyed and can damaged nearby characters.
Walls
Walls can be used as cover as well. Characters will lean around them to shoot. Three wall blocks placed diagonally make a great sniper nest. Natural walls work in the same way.
