It's a choice, but right now a caravan can be organized to roam the area around the Shithole foraging for berries until the fallout stops, and then move back in.

I shall not fail you.
Let her join. We need more bitches. And magic power could be handy
Let’er in.

3 years and countless hunts, and Quence still can't wrap his neanderthal brain around firearms
Mossberg given to Tim, Quence gets the mace.
now back to where we left off: no need for caravan. I was just getting ready to do peg leg surgery on all the prisoners so I can kick them out instead of letting them starve legless in beds after the Ediots leave, when after only 5 days the toxic fallout stopped. This is the shortest one a colony of mine endured. Maybe Randy figured that both fallout and volcanic winter at the same time is a tad too much? Anyway, the animals have returned, and so did Demonic with 300 yorkshire terrier stakes. A month later the ash settled and we could finally plant the crops again.
Little Baka was adopted into the colony.
A skein and a blackboard were made for her, and her first lessons were basic things a proper frontier lady should know: melee, firearms, and social graces.
since now the colony has a child, measures to keep the map clean of anything with fangs and claws were doubled
and since children love to explore nature and you can't keep an eye on them all the time, on several points of the map Pingas dug out small shelters where she can take cover if in danger, and buy some time until Ediots can come to bail her out
and as a last precaution, she was given what every 6yo craves (and deserves): a UMP45.
(foxes won't go for adults, but will for kids).

A small mechanoid raid showed up, 2 melee units
... at the same time an imperial convoy was visiting
the Ediots sat back and enjoyed some popcorn
The colony wealth keeps growing (60K now) and I need to check it somehow. My intention is to try halt growth and further Ediot recruitment until Baka hits adulthood (she's 7 now, 13 is adult in RW). By that time, all the major research should be done, except spaceship stuff which we don't need. After that I can build genetic labs for minty and start grinding for the goal. Speaking of research, heavy weapons is complete:
two of these around, some HE ammo, and a clean killing field should be enough for cheesing, I reckon.

Kids in rimworld hit development stages at 7, 10 and 13, and the more time you give them to learn and experience, the more passions (skills in which they excel) you can choose for them.
Baka joined too late for first stage accumulation, at 6, so she only got a trait choice, and I went with body modder. She will be happy the more implants she has, and will get along with other modded people.

She can't eithercan't wait to give baka a robot arm for her birthday
Not much happened during year three, a nenaderthal raid that may would have accomplished something if they didn't split up and go after some innocent passerbys
a raid by impids, genetically most cursed race of the Rimworld
if i ever feel the need for a really masochist challenge, a whole colony of shit farmers/ranchers that can be killed off by a common cold would be perfect.
Also, look at their ideoligion, those dumb savages can't even use auto turrets
Also two manhunter packs appeared and were wiped out by the Ediots
A uranium meteor landed near the colony, and I'm glad this game cherrypicks realism, I think something that size should cause a Tunguska .
Since Demonic and Tim didn't really manage to dent the mechanoids in the first encounter, new maces were made from uranium, maybe this puts enough weight behind their strikes to penetrate the armor.
Chemfuel and transport pods were researched. Since we can't organize the caravans all the time or wait for trade caravans to visit, this will allow us (among many other things) to reduce some colony wealth by donating junk to other factions, which will improve relations. Right now we have finally allied with pigskins and another local faction.

And Ediots finally managed to convert 10 people into their religion, giving them a reformation point. During the recruitment drive I didn't wanna bore you with too much details, but now you may take look and decide if and how you wanna shape your colony beliefs. No need to hurry, it ain't urgent, let's say Sunday. These will have impact on the way I have to play, and while I don't want to influence you, I dearly hope you won't force something utterly retarded upon me, like to be a pacifist in a game of brutal survival, or to have a nudist colony after so much time has been spent researching and producing armor.
