Research Survival Expidition

Your homeworld has undergone massive mechanoid raids and every human now lives in hiding. Nations from across your homeworld have been sending out researchers, soldiers, and adventurers to explore all the potentially habitable planets in the galaxy in desperate search of a place to escape to. Your family has been tasked with exploring a rimworld on the edge of the galaxy. All you know is that oxygen has been confirmed in its atmosphere. Your primary goal is assessing survivability, though developing peaceful relations with natives and studying any alien life is encouraged. If you survive long enough, be prepapred for refugees from your home world to find and join your colony on this distant rim.

NOTE: CREATE FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS WITH PREPARE CAREFULLY MOD BEFORE STARTING GAMEPLAY (Husband, Wife, Child - set ages appropriately)
