Ice sheet for Lost tribe

Ice sheet has no growing season, forget about plants. Livestock is limited, you will be hunting anything you can eat regardless of it's taste.

Start

• Pause the game immediately and check the size of the ancient structure, the bigger it is, the more ancient cryptosleep casket it "may" be hosting.
• Spot all steam geysers.
• Pick an ancient ruin big enough to host your 5 characters leaving enough space for a butcher table and a research bench, plus a campfire. Nothing else for the first year.
• Analyze your team, set their priorities. Haul everything towards your chosen ruin and don't use wood at all except for the bonfire.
• Start mining steel as your main construction material or begin caving in. Play as minimalistic as possible.
• All you have to do at first is just research electricity. You don't need to build a fortress yet.
• Set an animal zone away from your food, you don't want them eating your food as you can't win the game with pets alone. Let them all die of starvation, sorry. Starving pets are excellent lures for predators and while wild animals attack your pets, they won't turn their hunger rage towards you and you can attack them without danger, so long as their target is mid to big size (terriers die in a bear hit or two).
• Gather enough steel to build walls and several deadfall traps by setting everyone to mine. Use terrain features to get the smallest home you can make.
• When you find one snow hare, you find the others. Double click on zoomed out view to reduce time spent on searching.
• Always keep an eye on the polar beer food bar.

Sauna

After you are down enclosing your ancient ruin and had built both benches. Your next job is to use the steam geyser as heat source. Build a wall around, either while emulating a heater in the center of your room or by pulling a one tile corridor towards your home, even possibly digging a tunnel depending on the terrain altitude map of choice.

Live to hunt

You will survive in this biome, by sending all to crypto sleep except for the researcher. Be very careful here as occupants cannot eject by themselves and sending them all together won't let you continue playing unless a wandered joins. Hunt every time you see meat, as animals have the tendency to leave the map and won't remain roaming around long.
