Description
Three crashlander have to emergency drop down to an unknown, sunless world. A little bit more difficult than standard crashlander, with a dark twist.



The ships sirens shriek in your ears, abruptly tearing you from your sleep. The crew is panicked on a ship that is hundreds strong. Your not sure what has happened but the ship is losing oxygen and the drop pods are growing scarce. You find three available close by to some survival suppliers and bundle them in before entering yourself, leaving one of you behind.

You land on a sunless planet, rumored to be a desolate place where life rots and expires. How long can you survive or will you manage to escape?

Note; Recommend playing with lowest population and with mods 'Realistic Darkness' by Wemd, but this scenario is 100% Vanilla Rimworld. Pictured - spawn 'inthedark' 30%, Sparse, 42.23N 4.57E

Your faction will be a New Arrivals.
Start with 3 people, chosen from 4.
Arrive in drop pods.

Permanent game condition(s):
-Eclipse: An eclipse is shadowing the surface. It will be dark, even during the daytime.

Start with:
-Packaged survival meal x40
-Medicine x15
-Component x15
-Bolt-action rifle
-Revolver
-Steel knife
-Steel x200
-Wood x150

Map is scattered with:
-Ship chunk x3
-Steel x300



If you're enjoying my work, buying me a coffee would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

That's lovely to hear~

@thibaut3000 That’s a solid suggestion. Adding permanent cold snaps could definitely create a tougher experience (the world settings are always customisable), I might have a new scenario coming along.

You could create a hardcore version by adding permanant cold snaps + setting the world as wet and cold (not sure you can force planet settings in the scenario manager) to simulate the lack of sun heat

@Psina, unfortunately you can not set this to be plantless in vanilla in the scenario editor, however if you wish, you can open the dev mode and destroy all plants that way. Alternatively there is a mod called 'Configurable Maps' in which you can control the density, or perhaps the 'Regrowth' mods as there is a wasteland biome there which could be more immersive for what you want, personally I use both mods along with realistic darkness for this.

doesn't make any sense the fact that there is trees and plants

Nice scenario, turns out making a wall half way across the map while there's an eclipse is not a good idea when you can't see what's there.

This is simple, but a really good idea! Thanks for making this, been getting annoyed at my main colony and am looking for a good distraction for a bit. Will most likely use this scenario.
