RimWorld Early Game 3-Person Start Guide Part 2: Stonecutting, Outer Wall Construction, and Key Facility Placement Guide
This video details the operation methods for stone processing, outer wall construction, workshop, warehouse, prison, laboratory, and other major facility placements when starting with 3 people in RimWorld. It presents strategies for securing safety and efficient base development.
1. 🧱 Upgrading from Wooden Walls to Stone Walls and Efficient Stone Processing Methods
- ✅ Wooden walls are vulnerable to fire and have low durability, so replacing them with stone walls is essential.
- ✅ Process stone by building a stonecutting table.
- ✅ Check geological information to see what kind of stone chunks are on the map.
- ✅ Granite is the hardest stone, making it advantageous for defensive construction.
- ✅ When processing at the stonecutting table, set 'Keep repeating' to establish an automatic processing system.
- ✅ Optimize the work route by installing the stonecutting table in a stony area and selecting 'Place nearby'.
| Stone Type | Durability (Highest to Lowest) |
|---|---|
| Granite | Highest |
| Limestone | High |
| Sandstone | Medium |
| Slate | Low |
| Marble | Lowest |

2. ⚠️ Stone Wall Construction Cautions: Roof Collapse Prevention Strategies
- ⚠️ From version 1.6, it is possible to replace walls by overwriting the blueprint directly on the existing wall, but if you designate all the walls at once, there is a risk of the roof collapsing.
- ✅ It is safer to designate and construct walls in small quantities.

3. 🧭 Efficient Outer Wall Construction Direction Setting and Killbox Placement Strategies
- ✅ Set the direction of outer wall construction considering the terrain (avoiding rocky terrain, etc.).
- ✅ Do not designate an excessively large area from the beginning, but start with a moderate scale and expand as needed.
- ✅ Select the location of the killbox considering the expansion direction. (Preventing the need to rebuild the killbox during the expansion process)
- ✅ A simple killbox using wooden traps is efficient in the early stages.

4. 🛠️ Workshop, Warehouse, Prison, Laboratory: Additional Facility Construction Guide for Efficient Space Utilization
- ✅ Increase work efficiency by configuring each facility independently.
- ✅ Workshop: Build it to a size of 14x12 to accommodate various workbenches.
- ✅ Warehouse: Design it to be expandable as storage items increase.
- ✅ Prison: Place it close to the freezer to minimize movement.
- ✅ Laboratory: Secure space considering the advanced research bench (2x5 size).
| Facility | Optimal Size | Location Considerations |
|---|---|---|
| Workshop | 14x12 (Final) | Consider the type of workbench |
| Warehouse | 11*n or 12*n | Consider expandability |
| Prison | Flexible | Near the freezer |
| Laboratory | Consider advanced research bench | Not greatly restricted |

5. 🎯 Early Game Operation Summary and Research Priorities for Mid-Game Development
- ✅ In the early stages, secure safety through outer walls and killboxes, and place basic facilities such as workshops, warehouses, prisons, and laboratories.
- ✅ Prioritize firearms manufacturing research for mid-game development (especially bolt-action rifles).
- ✅ Prepare power facilities and drug use, and reorganize the killbox to match the raid.
