Choose a controlled start
For the first batch, a scenario is suitable in which it is clear who knows how to get food, build and heal. Don't Just Test Your Skills: Your background may limit the jobs available. Explore storyteller parameters and difficulties before creating the world. It is not necessary to start with an extreme biome: the task of learning is to understand cause-and-effect relationships, and not to withstand the maximum of adverse events.
Put the food before the decorations
Determine the method of obtaining food and where it is stored. Plan according to climate and time required for cultivation or other harvesting. It is more useful to estimate the stock by the colony's consumption than by a fancy number in the interface. Keep your main work areas close enough: long walks between the warehouse, kitchen and field take time away from other tasks.
Distribute critical work
Assign responsibility for treatment and maintenance of essential supplies. If one task is constantly being postponed, look at what the performer is doing and which jobs have higher priority. Don't overload everyone with the same responsibilities. It is wise to have a backup performer for important work: illness or injury of one colonist should not completely stop food production or medical care.
Look for the cause of dissatisfaction
If your mood worsens, discover the needs of a particular settler and examine the reasons one by one. Adding new facilities does not automatically correct hunger, pain, or conflict. After every major event, pause and evaluate your injuries, food supplies, and upcoming tasks. The colony's history progresses through difficulties; The party's useful result is an understanding of what exactly triggered the crisis.
