This mod is no longer maintained since the new and more active modder emerged. You should use his version of mod for now:

My interest in rimworld modding is very low and i cant properly maintain mod, research incompatibilities and actively communicate. May be in future i will back. Or may be not.
If something happen even with the new mod/modder, write me there. At least i can make a somewhat working version.

Version: 14.01
This mod changes the game start. It adds a new event, that drop a different spaceship parts on the landing site from the sky. Pods with colonists, containers with resources, engines with flammable fuel, and other useful and dangerous things. This event triggers at the start of the game, so your arrival will be much more similar to the movie crash landing. With the fire, explosions, dead and wounded people.
You will need to organize the rescue of wounded colonists and supplies. The fire will be your main enemy. It will start as small fires on the impact tiles, but quickly grow in major fire. Beat the small fires or evacuate supplies. Watch out for other dangers.
This mod tries to add a new gameplay, when you need to choose between resources and wounded peoples. And may be between wounded and maimed.
There are two new scenarios: Easy and Hard
In Easy scenario, you start with 3 healthy colonists. While some more random colonists will be crash-landing hard with little chance of surviving the impact.
In Hard scenario, your starting colonists and equipment will crash land and take severe damage. Then, some more random colonists will be crash-landing hard with little chance of surviving the impact.

!!!--------- Important uninstall issue ---------!!!
Since you can create your own scenario by editing one of the crashlanding scenarios, you need to delete all such scenarios manually, before uninstalling the crashlanding. Otherwise the game fails to start any new game.
