Rimworld Beta 18 is here and we begin Episode 1 of our Rimworld Ice Sheet Tribal Challenge! Survival on the Ice Sheet is tough and we spice up the survival challenge even further: We pick Rimworld’s Tribal start but only choose one single colonist who will start with nothing. No weapons, no food, no medicine, no materials. Starting with nothing is one of the hardest challenges in Rimworld and we also crank up the difficulty to Randy Random Extreme.
The Ice Sheet is one of Rimworld’s harshest and most dangerous biomes. It is not quite as inhospitable as the Sea Ice biome, but it’s a close second. The freezing temperatures make plant growth impossible and animals like Snow Hares and Polar Bears only rarely find their way onto the Ice Sheet. Visitors also do not pass by frequently: Both Raiders and Traders tend to avoid the Ice Sheet, leaving us with little contact to the outside world.
The modified Rimworld Tribal start offers an additional challenge: We start with only a fraction of the available research projects unlocked and research speed will see a hefty penalty. Our single tribal colonist will therefore start the game without electricity and - new in Rimworld Beta 18 - also without a bed. Tribal colonists can also only access a very limited set of childhood and adulthood backgrounds, giving them further disadvantages compared to more developed factions.
Starting with nothing on the Ice Sheet might be the ultimate Rimworld challenge. Without weapons, armor, medicine food or building materials, the survival of our tribal colonist always hangs by a thread. Despite these challenges, the Ice Sheet start goes surprisingly smoothly: Our single tribal colonist hunts some food and builds a shelter around a steam geyser for warmth. The natural heat of the steam geyser keeps the small starter base warm and our colonist from freezing to death. We soon welcome our first group of visitors on the Ice Sheet, but have nothing to trade with them.
Episode 1 of this Rimworld Tribal Ice Sheet Challenge ends with a small shelter, equipped with all the things necessary to start bigger projects in the next episode: A simple research bench, a stool, a table and a crafting spot offer plenty of opportunities to increase our colonist’s chances at survival.

The goal of this Rimworld Ice Sheet Tribal Challenge is to start with nothing on the Ice Sheet with a single tribal colonist and survive to reach the end of the game. While Rimworld Beta 18 does not have quests or achievements, it does have an end - provided you survive long enough to see it. Survival is key in this tribal ice sheet challenge: Food will be scarce, temperatures will be freezing and our tribal colonist will be all on his own to face the dangers that Randy Random throws his way.
I am by no means an expert on Rimworld strategy and tactics, but I have successfully survived this ice sheet scenario off-camera for multiple years and I have picked up a few neat strategies along the way. This Rimworld Tribal Ice Sheet Challenge tries to mix challenging gameplay with a few strategy tips and tricks on how to survive on the Ice Sheet with a single tribal colonist. Strategy and planning are key for survival in Rimworld Beta 18, especially on the Ice Sheet. Every move needs to be carefully thought through, otherwise it might end up in disaster. While this series is not a complete Rimworld Strategy Guide, it will heavily feature elements of a Rimworld Ice Sheet Guide. We will discuss strategies for choosing a starting location and occasionally switch to more of a Rimworld Guide. You will find info cards throughout the entire video, serving as overview strategy guides for different aspects of the game.
