RimWorld‘s Odyssey DLC takes survival in Space to a new extreme, but you can turn it into a mere formality by following a few easy steps.
Unlike the vanilla version of the game, Odyssey puts you in a scenario where your settlers have to survive on aGravship. This spaceship will occasionally drop from orbit to explore different planets, but you’ll be spending time in Space. Surviving on a planet and in space is different, and you’ll have to complete a few extra steps.
How to survive in Space easily in RimWorld Odyssey?
Your survival chances depend on your Gravship, and one key activity is to reduce its limitations.
While improving your ship is a must, you’ll also have to take care of your settlers to help them survive in Space. They will not only be living in extremes, but there’s also an aspect of exploring Space for extra resources.
Finally, pay attention to available quests. Some of the quests have no expiry dates, while others will have a shelf life once they pop up. Completing quests will not only provide you with necessary items, but you can also improve your arsenal with the help ofUnique Weapons(extremely rare to find without mods). In the vanilla version, I would rarely complete quests. In Odyssey, you’ll have to complete them whether you like to or not.
Exploration is key in the new DLC, which means that you’ll have to pay attention to Power. Your ship has loads of power requirements, which include keeping your settlers alive and traveling using its thrusters. If your ship loses power to function, your settlers are pretty much dead. The best method in the early days appeared to be Solar Generators, as they work well in space. Hook them up with batteries, and you should be good.
As for exploration, you’ll need Chemfuel for it. Chemfuel powers your thrusters, which allows your ship to travel. Always look to have as many thrusters as allowed, since Chemfuel consumption depends on the distance (and not on the number of thrusters). Having more thrusters will allow you to travel longer distances, which is always more beneficial. Just make sure to have ample Chemfuel in your storage to make the journey possible.
