Rimworld: Tips for choosing the narrator

At the beginning of the game you have the following three characters to choose from.

Phoebe Chillout: With this character you play through short events. There is enough time between the individual events. In this narrative mode, building a settlement is more important than fighting.
Cassandra Classic: The level of difficulty of the events increases every time. The game runs quickly with challenges.
Pure coincidence: you get events randomly. So you can get very heavy activities right from the start.

If you want to grow medicine yourself, you need a well-trained farmer. In order to be able to use the medicine, you also need a good doctor.
Plant fields with medicinal roots.
Invest money and time in Hydroponics research. Research also enables you to grow plants inside. In cold and stormy weather, it makes sense to grow plants in a building.
To grow a healing root you need the minimum value of 8 in agriculture. Also ensure that there is sufficient light and a suitable temperature.

At the beginning you can choose between three different home worlds. Every world has its advantages and disadvantages. Possible worlds are:

Tundra: You will face many challenges here. There are hardly any trees in the ice and cold steppes and only frosty soils. Due to the extreme climatic changes, people can hardly live here, let alone grow anything.
Desert: Even in the desert you have extreme living conditions. The soil is very barren due to the drought.
Deciduous forest: Highly recommended as there are moderate temperatures and a varied fauna. In addition, there are no frozen soils and nutritious summers for harvesting. Sufficient metals and wood can be found in the mountains.
Rainforest: Harvests often break due to too much moisture and precipitation. Floods can also occur.

Use the "Plan" command to mark areas in order to build on them.
Use the spacebar to pause the game.
You can use the "F" key to mark objects on the floor. Settlers then carry them to the camp.
Double-click on blocked items to select all items.
Give the players names. This allows you to better remember characteristics and to identify which colonist belongs to which work area.
After the crash, provide food, security and shelter for the colonialists. You can do this with barracks, beds, a warehouse and fields for agriculture.
