Hi everyone. This guide is intended mostly for new players. Since manual priorities are something that can be easily looked over for a new player to rim world, I thought id write up a quick guide to help new players understand how to set their colonists to do manual priorities over using the default option (since in my opinion its a lot better). So i hopped into an old save and took some pictures, and im ready to walk you through setting up your colonists priorities the right way. Having trouble getting colonist you wanted to plant your crops to actually plant your crops? Getting frustrated that your colonist who should be researching is busy flicking switches, hunting animals and cleaning dirt instead? I went through the same frustrations when i was a new player, so i completely understand. But the solution to all your problems are actually right under your nose, you probably just didnt see it was there. So take a break from the game real fast and come see what i'm talking about. I'll help you solve half your early game frustrations with a few simple tips and walk you through a few things that may not be as obvious as they should be. I promise its going to make your life out on the rim a lot easier and less frustrating :D Let's begin! NOTE: I set all my screen shots i used in this guide to private. So im unsure if the only reason im seeing the screen shots in the guide here is because they are my screenshots. If anyone does happen to come across this guide and you cant see the screen shots, let me know down below in the comments, and ill go change the privacy settings, so they will be visible to everyone :D The Problem... So, i like to watch twitch streamers play rimworld some times when im not playing myself. But I usually go watch people who are new to the game. Mostly so i can help them understand the game if i can, since Rimworld can be an intimidating game and as a new player, especially if you're not used to these kinds of games, can be extremely frustrating. And as such is the case as to why a good number of people who would other wise play, will put the game down, and then go write an angry review of the game because of their frustration. Now, the one consistent thing I've noticed for new players, both watching people play on twitch and looking through a number of the threads on the steam forums over the years ive played, is a lot of people get really upset at one common thing. Which is why their colonists will seem to not do the things they are clearly supposed to be doing according to their task list. And that alone is enough to make a new player rage quit. And especially so because, at first glance it would seem like, no matter what you do, your colonists just dont do what they should be doing and theres no way to fix the problem. But that's where i would like to hop in and say, there actually is a solution. It's just not a noticeable one, and most people actually miss it completely in their first couple of games since its not explained in the tutorial and actually noticing what you're looking for, in a game where there's already a lot going on within the UI, its very easy to not even notice. I know i didn't notice the option was there myself until my 4th or 5th run. So i thought i'd point it out for you guys here in this guide and show you exactly what you need to do, and what you need to do with it. The solution to making your colonists, for the most part, do the tasks you want them to is actually a little gem hidden away in the "work" tab. All you have to do is set their priorities from automatic to manual priorities. Fiddle around with the priorities themselves to suit your needs. and then you should be good to go. Though, theres some things a new player would need to know in order to use the manual priorities system correctly or else they may be frustrated again. And we will get into all of this in the very next section. The Solution So, lets get to the part every one who stops by here, is here for in the first place. What are we doing with manual priorities and where do I go to do it? So when you start a new game of rimworld, your colonists tasks are set to a default mode. Which will automatically check mark tasks each colonist has a decent enough skill in and mark those things to be done. Which isn't really optimal in a game like this. Is it easier to set up tasks that way? Sure it is, but its not going to give you the best outcomes and is more likely than not going to make things a lot more difficult for you to manage. So when you start a game. and you're finally at that point where you need to look through and set up colonist tasks. You're going to go down to your main tool bard down at the bottom of your screen and hit the tab that says "work". And, in a new game, you should see something that looks similar to this ...

而我们想要的是让它看起来像这样……

要让优先级标签页显示成这样，你可能已经在截图1中注意到，在优先级框的左上角，“手动优先级”字样旁边有一个红色的X。然后在截图2中可以看到，它现在标记着一个绿色的对勾符号。只需左键点击红色X，就能从默认优先级模式切换到手动优先级模式。就是这么简单:D 《环世界》优先级机制解析 我知道你在想什么。大多数人在第一次看到手动优先级列表时都会这么想。他们会说：“天哪，这么多数字，我不喜欢，看起来太麻烦了，所以我要回到默认模式。”这是典型的反应。如果你也这么想，那你只说对了一部分。事实上，在默认优先级模式下，勾选你希望殖民者执行或不执行的任务确实更快更简单。但如果回到这种方式，你还是会因为研究员比利·鲍勃没有在你需要的时候进行研究而感到沮丧。而且，尽管数字系统乍一看可能让人望而生畏，但实际上它非常简单，只是看起来吓人而已。这可能主要有两个原因：一是大多数新玩家不了解这款游戏的任务系统是如何运作的（这也情有可原），二是不理解手动优先级标签中的数字系统是如何工作的。不过，我会详细为你解释这一切。说实话，你是愿意因为殖民者总在错误的时间做错误的事情而对游戏感到沮丧，还是换种方式，尝试一些乍一看难以处理但从长远来看能省去很多麻烦的方法呢？而且，手动设置优先级其实可能比你想象的要简单得多。归根结底，虽然一开始手动设置殖民者的任务可能显得繁琐——确实如此——但从长远来看，与使用默认模式相比，手动切换任务实际上会节省你更多的时间和精力，尤其是当你开始拥有更多殖民者时。 那么，让我们回到第一张截图。我们首先需要了解在这款游戏中，你的殖民者是如何确定优先级的。通过查看默认模式来了解这一点，将有助于你更好地掌握手动优先级的设置方法。那么，我们来看看这个。

这是我之前给你看的第一张截图。就是那张展示《环世界》中新存档如何设置优先级的截图。看起来基本都是这样的。不过，尽管我们的最终目标是不使用这种优先级模式，但先通过这张图了解殖民者如何管理优先级，会帮助你更好地理解这一点。 现在让我们聚焦于我的一名殖民者。这名殖民者将是本指南中大多数示例的主要焦点。我们来看看“四眼”。这是优先级列表中间的那位殖民者。他们有很多任务被勾选了。游戏会根据他们的属性所允许的任务，自动为他们选择任务。你可能会注意到每个任务框中除了勾选标记外还有一些内容。其中一点是某些方框的颜色比其他方框更深。基本上，方框颜色越深，意味着殖民者在该任务上的技能越低。你会注意到“四眼”的研究方框颜色较浅，而其他大多数方框颜色都相当深。这只是一种直观的视觉提示，用于显示殖民者擅长或不擅长哪些事情。不过，你可以通过将鼠标光标悬停在单个方框上，查看他们在该任务上的实际技能数值，从而获得更准确的信息。你可能还会注意到“四眼”的研究方框中有两个火焰图标，这表示他们对该技能（即你正在查看的任务）有强烈的热情。也就是说，殖民者对某项技能的热情越高，在执行相关任务时学习该技能的速度就会比没有热情的技能快。 至于“四眼”实际如何管理他们的任务，那就是另一回事了。 所以，如果你回头再看那张图片，会注意到“四眼”可能是我想要负责研究工作的殖民者。但他们也勾选了许多其他任务。在这个例子中，我们来看看他们勾选了狩猎和建造任务。你会发现狩猎和建造在任务列表中的优先级远高于研究。所以，如果我想让“四眼”负责研究，这可能不是一件好事。你可能会问为什么？这是因为殖民者总是会按照任务列表中从左到右的顺序执行可用任务。例如，既然“四眼”勾选了狩猎和建造任务，那么只要有狩猎任务可用，他就会优先执行狩猎；如果没有狩猎任务但有建造任务，就会接着执行建造。所有勾选的任务都会遵循这个模式。而“四眼”的任务设置相当多，这意味着除非我取消勾选“四眼”除研究外的所有其他任务，否则如果保持默认任务设置，他可能根本不会去做研究。当我需要让殖民者开始做研究之外的其他事情时，就得反复打开工作选项卡，为每个殖民者不断勾选或取消勾选任务，这会变得非常繁琐。这正是手动设置优先级是更好选择的原因之一，而且从长远来看也更简单，此外它还能让你更轻松地管理殖民者的活动。 既然我们已经知道，只要任务可用，殖民者就会按照列表从左到右的顺序执行任务，那么在进入下一部分时，我们就可以记住这一点。接下来，我将详细介绍如何使用手动优先级以及其工作原理。设置殖民者手动优先级 既然我们已经了解了《环世界》中优先级的基本原理，接下来就可以着手通过手动优先级为殖民者设置他们偏好的任务了。 不过先快速提醒一下，以防你现在可能忘了：要设置手动优先级，只需打开工作选项卡，点击“manual priorities”旁边的红色X，当它变成绿色对勾且复选框变成数字时，你就成功设置了殖民者日常任务的手动优先级。 那么我们再来看一下截图2。

我们再来关注一下“四眼”。现在你会看到，我已经按照自己认为在游戏当前阶段比较有用的方式设置了“四眼”的优先级。记住，随着游戏的推进以及你的殖民地需求不断变化和增长，你在游戏的大部分时间里都需要调整这些数值。但与默认方式相比，这种方法仍然要简单得多，也节省不少时间。 在我们讨论为什么我要这样设置“四眼”的优先级之前，我们需要先了解一些与他们任务列表中优先级数字相关的内容。我知道，你可能觉得这看起来很混乱。但一旦习惯了，与默认版本相比，你会觉得它轻松不少。 这些数字的作用如下。1表示任务的最高优先级，4表示任务的最低优先级。你甚至可以完全取消勾选一个选项，以确保殖民者永远不会执行该任务，除非你为其设置优先级。需要注意的是，手动优先级的工作原理与之前相同：殖民者会始终从左到右执行为他们设置的可用任务。就像默认设置一样，只是现在你有了更多控制权，因为他们会从左到右执行任务，且始终优先处理最高优先级的任务。 既然我们已经了解了基础知识，那就进入下一部分，我将详细解释“四眼”在我当前的设置下是如何确定任务优先级的。手动优先级功能 我知道这可能会让人厌烦，但我们再来看一下截图2。

Lets take a look once again at four eyes and see how i set up their priorities and how thats going to play out in the game. So, ill be honest. Four eyes, isnt the greatest. They have a burning passion in research and a passion in hunting and construction. Everything else is kind of meh. They do have some decent skill level in other categories but in comparision to the passion skills four eyes has, four eyes would learn those skills so much slower than their passions, that those things would almost not be worth doing for four eyes. However, if i really needed, i could still have four eyes do other things they have decent skill in. but id rather use other colonists with higher skills than four eyes in those areas or who have passions in those areas. its all about balancing here. So if we look at four eyes, and look at their hunting, construction and research tasks, four eyes actually out does all of my other colonists in those areas. so out of everyone, id rather have four eyes do those tasks, since four eyes can do them better and more effeciently,and would take a less amount of time over all to do those tasks than my other two colonists. So as much as id like four eyes to be my main researcher, they are going to have to also be my main hunter and builder. At least for now. That can change later in the game as i get more colonists through various ways. But, its perfectly okay for one colonist to specialize in multiple things. But i tend to give a colonist 3 specailties at the most. And as you can see both Norbert and renault have virtually no skill in construction or research, so its fitting i make four eyes prioritize those tasks the most. Renault does have some skill for hunting but it hardly compares to four eyes skill. But because hunting can be a time consuming and tedious task for one colonist to do, i decided to also put renault on a hunting task though ive given them a priority of 2 for hunting, since renault obviously has tasks their better suited for. So as much as I would like for four eyes to do research. I feel, that at the early game construction should definitely be the first priority over research. And later once most of my basic structures are up, I can just low the priority of construction to have four eyes prioritize researching. Hunting isnt always necessary in the beginning, especially if you play the crashlanded scenario. But i thought id put it as priority 1 here anyway, just in case i need to hunt, because at the end of the day, food will be more important if i need it over both construction and research. because a starving colonist wont be able to construct or research the way they could on a full belly anyway. So, hence I set four eyes with a priority of 1 on hunting, construction and research. So four eyes will always prioritize hunting if i have set anything to be hunted, And if not they will always build things that need to be built, and if i have no hunting or construction tasks available, four eyes will get to work on research. Now you may notice some tasks before hunting ive also set to priority 1. For four eyes those things being Firefight, paitenting, and bed rest. Now, in most playthroughs i do, i also set all colonists to do basic as a 1 priority as well. I was just testing something out in this run so i have everyones basic set to 2. But typically, I always set every single colonist to do firefight, paitenting, bed rest and basic as a 1 priority if they can do so. And the reason being if a fire breaks out in the home area, everyone that can firefight will drop what they're doing and go to extinguish it, if a colonist is severly injured or sick by prioritizing paitenting they'll immideately go look for a medical bed and await someone to tend their wounds, and with bed rest as 1 priority if they get sick with something theyll go lay down in bed to recover over doing most other things. And as i said, i typically set basic to 1 as well. because, once you start building certain things youll need colonists to go flick switches on stuff to turn things on and off as well as if you want to release a prisoner theyll go do that. I also have four eyes set to do hauling and cleaning as a 2 priority if theres nothing else to be done, because hauling and cleaning should always be done when possible, and i set art to 3 priority so in case foure eyes winds up having absolutely nothing to do, thats at least something. I typically never use the 4 priority because it just seems kind of useless, since if i set a colonists tasks between 1 and 3 anything left thats set at 4 may as well just be turned off all the way since it will more than likely never get done anyway. So hence the rest of four eyes tasks, in which four eyes could potentially do, have been turned off, since other colonists can do those jobs. And with that knowledge, Those are examples of why i set four eyes to the priorities i did and how they would work in game by doing so. Hope that helps clear a bit up and allows new players to understand how manual prioritizing works in rimworld. But before we end. And you could choose to end it here. I have some other side notes and tips to explore in a few last sections of this guide. Some Helpful Stuff

我想展示这张图片是有原因的。那就是，有一种简单的方法可以确保某人只负责一项工作，而且仅此一项。你只需取消勾选所有其他任务，只将那一项任务标记为优先级1，就像我在这个例子中对“四眼”所做的那样。在这种情况下，如果我希望“四眼”只进行研究，我就会把设置成这样。有时候，这样做是完全必要的。

现在来看上面这张图。我想分几步来分享，因为这是这类游戏中常见的另一个隐藏机制，新玩家可能不知道。尤其是如果这是你第一次玩涉及排队下达指令或任何其他可按Shift点击操作的游戏。如果最后那句话还不够明显的话，我要说的就是Shift点击指令。 没错，这又是一个能让你在《环世界》里轻松不少的小技巧，能让你的殖民者立刻去做你想让他们做的事。 所以在上面的图中，我圈出了我的稻田。因为我想收割那些水稻。我的种植员是诺伯特，就是那个光着膀子到处走的家伙。他是我在这游戏里的植物专家。但现在他没怎么干农活，尽管我真的很希望他去。因为你看我的冰箱，只有一些浆果、给宠物吃的一些 kibble（宠物饲料），还有几块肉，我都不记得是给殖民者订的还是给宠物订的了。不管怎样，如果我不赶紧收割庄稼，我们就连做些简单 meals（餐食）的食材都没有了。那两头死掉的 wargs（战狼），我已经确保殖民者不会吃它们的肉，只用来做 kibble（宠物饲料）。但你猜怎么着，没有水果或蔬菜类的食材根本做不了 kibble（宠物饲料）。而且做一份 kibble（宠物饲料）需要 20 份植物性食物和 20 份肉类。我不确定冰箱里的浆果够不够做 kibble（宠物饲料），更别说给殖民者吃了。而且我们有好多成熟的水稻等着收割呢。不过我们的诺伯特可能要晚些时候才能去收割水稻了，因为他不只是我们的种植员，目前还是我们唯一的厨师。而且我把他的烹饪和种植都设为了优先级1，毕竟他是我们唯一擅长种植和烹饪的人，所以他会优先去做饭。不幸的是，这也意味着他会先去屠宰动物，因为屠宰属于烹饪技能的一部分，在任务列表中排在种植之前。更糟的是，我把“植物收割”（plant cut）——也就是用来收割庄稼的任务——也设为了他的优先级1，但这个任务在任务列表中的顺序甚至比种植还要靠后。而且现在有两只冰原狼等着屠宰，所以他肯定会先去处理它们，之后才会去收割水稻，甚至在收割之前还会先去播种其他作物。所以，如果我不强迫他或者重新调整他的任务优先级，他很可能无法及时完成我们需要的食物切割工作。不过，既然我可以直接强迫他去收割水稻，那何必还要重新调整任务优先级呢。 要做到这一点，只需按住Shift键点击任何我想让他做的事情。所以我有两个选择。我可以立即按住Shift键点击水稻，这样诺伯特会先完成他当前在冷冻室里屠宰战狼的任务，然后再去收割我的水稻；或者我可以直接选中诺伯特，然后右键点击水稻，让他完全取消屠宰任务，直接去切割水稻。

如你在上面的截图中所见，我选择按住Shift键点击水稻，这样诺伯特会先完成屠宰那只土狼的任务，然后去收割水稻。按住Shift键点击命令可以将任意数量的任务加入强制执行队列。例如，我可以继续按住Shift键为诺伯特添加水稻收割后的后续任务。比如，我可以继续按住Shift键点击屋内需要清理的污渍，或者在他收割完水稻后立即屠宰另一只土狼。如果我这样操作，诺伯特会强制执行这些任务，在完成我强制安排的任务之前，或者我手动取消队列命令之前，他不会进行其他任何操作。注意：按住Shift键点击任务仅在持续按住Shift键的同时点击时才有效。你不能先按Shift再点击，否则不会有任何反应。你必须在按住左Shift键的同时，左键点击所有你想强制殖民者执行的任务。

以上面的图片为例。这是诺伯特完成屠宰工作后去收割我的水稻的场景。你看到的所有线条都是我通过持续按住左Shift键并左键点击植物，命令他砍伐的植物。任何以这种方式强制设置优先级点击的物品，都会弹出一个小窗口，询问你是否要优先执行该操作。在这个例子中，当我按住Shift键点击水稻以强制收割时，游戏会询问我“优先收割水稻”。此时，你必须在最初的Shift+点击之后点击该弹窗来确认操作。同样，你可以对任意数量的物品执行此操作。 注意和警告！！！！很多人在了解到可以按住Shift点击物品来强制殖民者执行任务时会感到困惑，但却弄不明白为什么无法按住Shift点击研究台来强制殖民者进行研究。这是因为任何被视为“长期任务”或项目的事情都不能被强制进行。研究被视为长期项目，所以你**不能**按住Shift点击来强制任何殖民者进行研究。 总结 我们已经到了最后。 希望任何偶然看到本指南的新玩家都能觉得这些信息有所帮助。这些都是我自己通过艰难方式才学会的东西。 如果你只是跳着阅读或查看了你想看的部分，我仍然希望它能帮到你。
