Overview
A quick guide and story about Ice Sheet survival.
My first Ice sheet survival.
You may not believe me when i say this. About 146 hours into this game and not on a Ice Sheet survival once?! Well, yes. My first Ice sheet survival. Its damn cold.
Day 1: I start with 4 Colonists. We do the things everyone does. Build the base, beds, get power,
without wood, of course.
Day 10: Animals…Animals? Where? Didnt i just see one? Wait, no just a steel slag from these damn Drug cargo drops.
Day 15: Oh hey, we have achieved many things! Beds, Kitchen, Research, Beds and also lots of….ummmm…Marjot where did the food go?
Day 20: ….Food….neeeeeeed Fooooood.
Day 21: Huh, these guys from the first raids havent even rotten yet, funny.
Day 22: Funny, toooooo funny.
Day 23: ,,Guys clear the butcher table!”
Day 28: God, so depressed. Mental Breaks everywhere? What should i do? The only food income would be a Rai.. i mean a hydroponics basin. So lets build….oooooooh a Raid!
Day 32: Nicely done. Hydroponics Basins have been built! Potatoes for everyone! No more questionable Meat!
Day 34: Hmm, everyone seems to be pretty calm! Thats good. Also we heard rumors of dangerous Cannibalists in the vircinity! One of the prisoners told us that, at least. Maybe hats why raids are so scarce? Not like we need them anymore? Eh?
Day 38: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥! a Giant horde of Tribe People! Oh, they are running through the kill tunnel…
ohh so sad, the back end got blocked off, oh no they are cornered! Welp, Colonists, we have special breakf… i mean killing to do
Day 40: Lets end the research. We have enough. Build the ship now!
Day 50: God, how did this happen? So many Mechanoids, so many Pirates, its like they are ghosts taking revenge! We didnt do anything bad! Atleats thats what we tell the others when they ask whats in the Meals…….
Day 51: They are coming in, laser weapons guns blazing. F*ck. This may be the end.
Day 51 2/2: Lets mow em down!
Day 52: 3. Three. Drei. Many words for this number. Not many to speak them anymore.
I mean, precisely 3 people survived. Commandos came in. O´ Donal picked up a Magnum.
He saved us. He got shot down as we tried to evacuate. Damn hes the best shot we´ve ever seen. They shot his Leg off. He fell. Dammit. What was her name again? Marjuki? I dont know anymore… Cryosleep sure is a hell of a drug. Well, she tried to help O´ Donal. She got out.
Her, neck….clean shot. O´ Donal made it to a Cryosleep casket. Heavily bleeding. As you see.
Also, hows he and Marjot doing?! Where am i?
UNRC Represent: Youre safe. Im a Rep from the United Nations Research Council. You are on our newest Biosphere Space Station. Call me Weyland.
Umm okay? What about O´ Donal and Marjot?
Weyland: Well, O´ Donals capsule-glass kind of…. lets say didnt make it. Neither did he.
And Marjot?
Weyland: Shes fine, already been questioni.. i mean talking to her.
Oh good. So, what do you want?
Weyland: Well, we heard reports of dangerous creatures on that Rimworld. We onyl want to make sure they are a myth.
Dangerous Creatures? You mean those things with tentacles that kill everything until you stop it?
They are damn fast i tell you!
Weyland: How did it look?
Scary. It made some of us go insane. Bersek to say more. Maybe it was the flesh… I dont know.
They were black with a giant skorpion like tail! We were able to kill them, though
Weyland: Skorpion like? (he stops all movements and makes a sarcastic looking face) Huh. Okay. Guards, bring her out for more questioning! I want everything she knows!
What is your name, little girl? Pi, right? Well, Marjot already went through questioning. But she couldnt tell us anything….(he grins)
Pi: WHAT?! How do you know! What did you do to her?! What is this?!
Weyland: Well. It always saddens me when i see people at the wrong palces in the wrong times… You see, Pi, what you encountered was our future. The Perfect organism.
(the guards drag Pi out of the room)
Weyland opens the door and screams down the hallway: Tell me where this damn Prison Planet is! Get me that damn Queen!!!
All storys aside: What i learnt.
A part of the last story was true.
Wood, nowhere to be seen.
Food aswell.
I learnt that Mood control is very needed.
Married people are the happiest.
You dont really need melee people. They just help a Berserk go more insane.
Raids are very scarce. Ice sheets are cold.
All in all i learnt more about survival. I knew the basic facts of every other Biome.
Now i got that one of my list too!
My advise for survival
First. Dont waste all your food. Make it count. Build a Nutrient Paste Thing as fast as possible.
Tailoring. Tailor as many Parkas as you can!
Keep corpses. Winter is … going on?
Cannibalism is a last resort.
Your biggest enemie is Mood.
Keep it up.
Tempreture isnt needed at first, because they can survive without it, right? No. Mood. Comign in to wreck your dreams! They get debuffs for sleeping in the cold.
Also dont tell a creepy man about Aliens on your planet.
IF you found the story interesting and/or the advise helpfull, leave a comment and a like!
I like the Alien Universe, so i decided to connect it for a (straight on) refrence.
Also tell me if i misspronounced anything!
