We return to the Ice Sheet in Rimworld Beta 18 in this episode of our Rimworld Ice Sheet Tribal Challenge. After a few quick trades kick off the episode, our tribal colonist Cambiar has all the materials he needs to finally upgrade his power supply with a geothermal generator. Geothermal power has the advantage of a steady supply of electricity, unlike the wind turbines or the solar panels. With the geothermal generator constructed, our power grid receives a useful upgrade and is now equipped to supply the colony with power for quite a while.
The trades have also brought Cambiar in the possession of some gold, which is immediately used to build a multi-analyzer. The multi-analyzer improves the research speed of the research bench and so Cambiar begins a new project once the construction is finished. With the shipbuilding basics research project, our tribal colonist is getting closer and closer to space travel – but we still have a long way to go.
While Cambiar makes good progress, the Huskies are not idle either. Not only do we have another pregnancy to announce, the dogs also eat through their food supplies rather quickly. A diet of insect jelly solves the problem temporarily but eventually, Cambiar has to share is human meat supplies with his canine companions. A risky attempt to secure a bit more meat also fails and so the food reserves are getting smaller and smaller…

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.
