This is a video tutorial for Rimworld aimed specifically at beginners to the game. I wanted to make a getting started guide to rimworld because this game is quite complicated and can be a little overwhelming if you are playing the game for the first time and you are new to this type of genre or you haven’t done any research on the game prior.
Rimworld is a TON of fun and I hope that this beginner's guide tutorial video helps work as a guideline and reference point for the basics to get you kickstarted into the game. I have a list of the topics covered in the game and specific timestamps to jump to that section. I also have a list of mods that I use with a link where you can download them yourself.
