🎯 What This Site Is About

RimWorld Guide is a versioned research and decision guide for new players.

RimWorld's opening, resources, mood, and raids affect each other. This site turns official updates, public mechanics references, and verifiable community knowledge into clear decision sequences. It does not present desk research as personal playtesting.

Core pages show their game version, last-check date, and source links. Coverage includes:

• Starting colonist and landing site selection — skill combos and biome choice for your first three pawns
• Base building — from the first wooden shack to a full survival base
• Combat and defense — killbox design, weapon choices, handling different raid types
• Pawn management — mood, skills, relationships... keeping your colony from falling apart
• Research — tech tree planning, what to research first and what to skip
• Four DLCs — Royalty, Ideology, Biotech, and Anomaly, each with complete guides
• Mod recommendations — essential mods and load order tips

🔎 How the site checks content

Sources are ranked as official updates, RimWorld Wiki mechanics/data pages, and public community discussion used only for player-decision context. Numbers or mechanics without a traceable source are not published; disagreements are flagged instead of flattened into a single answer.

Visuals are original site diagrams. The site does not reuse Wiki, video, or other creators' screenshots. See sources and checking method.

💰 How This Site Is Funded

The site does not run ads yet; content usefulness and search performance come first. If ads are introduced later, the privacy notice and consent flow will be updated first, and ads will not block the hero, table of contents, or critical steps.

If you find a guide useful, the best help is to share it with another RimWorld player or send a sourced correction.
