Break it down into smaller chunks, maybe temporarily partition it with cheap wooden walls, and 'remodel' once you're in a position to progress with the larger project properly.Ī perfect example is your very first building.

Sometimes you'll have a 'grand plan', a large combo dining room/rec room, or a hospital complex, or a vast kill box area, or maybe your entire colony pre-planned out - great, but don't feel you have to do it all at once.

Have a plan, always move toward that plan, know what the next plan is after that, and move toward that as soon as possible.Īnd then move on to the next plan, and so forth. It's very easy to let your colonists do 'busy work' - hauling, cleaning, shuffling around - and never actually grow your base in any productive direction, or at least not very effectively.

This guide is the ultimate go-to guide to building your colony, for all stages of the game.
