We return to the Ice Sheet in Rimworld Beta 18 in this second episode of our Rimworld Ice Sheet Tribal Challenge. We start things off by building some defenses and craft a club for our tribal colonist, before we begin our first research project. To provide our colonist Cambiar with a comfortable place to sleep we start researching beds. We also have our first crashed escape pod and on the Ice Sheet on Randy Random Extreme difficulty that means only one thing: A nice meal for our cannibal.
Cannibalism is essential for survival in our Rimworld Tribal Ice Sheet Challenge. We got lucky in the early game and had a polar bear drop dead and we even find some hare meat in a cargo pod in this episode, but without the occasional act of cannibalism, our tribal colonist will not survive. Luckily he is a Cannibal and gets no penalties for consuming human meat – the opposite is true: Eating the human corpse from a crashed escape pod even gives him the “Raw cannibalism” thought and a nice mood boost.
Researching beds is our first priority after building some defenses in this episode. Cambiar is currently sleeping uncomfortably on the ground and a bed would be a welcome alternative. In Beta 18 beds are not available in the tribal scenario though, so our colonist needs to research them first. After a few busy days on the research bench, Cambiar can finally construct a bed for himself, improving his nightly comfort by a lot and also increasing his overall quality of life out on the Ice Sheet.

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.
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.
