[A challenge scenario on a toxic world. Intended for use with various mods, but I've tried to keep it fair for vanilla rimworld gameplay, too.
The challenge revolves, for the most part, around surviving an unending toxic fallout while contending with constant attacks from wild animals and raids consisting of frighteningly violent aggressors.
Plant yield is poor due to the contamination of the world's soil. Butchering is even worse, as untainted flesh is a startling rarity. Even what's edible may still well make you sick.
The ultimate goal, of course, is to escape from the planet with as many of your colonists as possible. Because of the nature of the planet and its inhabitants, you won't be able to replace anyone you lose. A single death might spell the end of your struggle.
Best of luck, though! Please share any feedback you can on difficulty, exploits, or whatever else! ]
It's not clear what went wrong between the blaring sirens, the violent turbulence, and the electrical sparks flying through the air. All that you know is that you need to survive. In the brief space between the dormitories and the escape pods your worst fears are confirmed. The planet below is a barren place. Toxic fumes from long-fought wars coat the surface in its entirety, and what little life remains is both savage and tenacious...
You were sent to this planet before its termination, to scan for signs of life and intelligence from orbit. Without your response, the destruction of this place will resume its schedule without delay. If you can't leave this place, you will die.
But first, you'll have to survive.
Your faction will be a New Arrivals.
Start with 4 people.
