# Game Start  

MAKE A BEDROOM! no seriously, if your colonists sleep on the ground they'll be pissed. make a bedroom and some beds first.  
Then make covered area for your supplies so they don't get destroyed by the sun. you don't need walls on this building at first. just four  corners and a roof.

make this room 10*10 or 10*11, and just put posts where I've shown with the X, then zone it as a stockpile.  

make a dumping stockpile, slightly away from the main building. this will probably get moved later.   

make a small fridge. - make a double walled room (remember to double door it as well) with a couple air conditioners all set to -9c/ 
zone it as a stockpile zone, then go into the details and make sure it only stores; Food, Dead Animals, Plant Matter.   

now consider making a dining room, a joy room, a hospital room, and a production room. and don't die. 
make a research bench sooner than later as well, and on the first 1-2 days make sure to plant some crops.  
if you have someone with +5 growing, plant strawberries, otherwise rice.
