run, eventually you will be able to pick every fight

beat the shit out of retards
get the shit beaten out of you
repeat the cycle until you're able to solo an entire country

lure baddies in town to get killed, loot/use/sell their crap then fight dudes with sticks to rank up your combat skills

get your ass kicked

when my stupid retarded team is able to fight off starving bandits I felt so proud

1. Athletics. A decent athletics stat lets you pick your fights freely whereas without it you will die the first time you encounter something stronger than you. Run unencumbered.

2. Toughness -- a toughness 1 character takes 65% more damage, a toughness 100 character takes 65% less, and the turning point of 0% is at level 50. Training toughness gets a lot easier once your KO point goes below 0 so that "Playing dead..." can happen to your character, giving them a move order during this gives you massive amounts of toughness XP. Slaves get this for free, you will probably have to have a second character heal up your trainee.

3. The romanian toolkit. Thievery and Stealth let you transcend the game's economy and combat system entirely. Once your character stops being a useless wimp, the meta is becoming a millionaire naruto-running ninja. This one high-stat thief can fund your colony efforts, explore the world, transport, smuggle and kidnap etc etc. Indeed, being romanian is so game-breaking that if you want to experience the challenge of kenshi, you must intentionally stay not gud and adhere to combat and the economy, much like the only way to actually get a challenge out of rimworld is to put your pawns in danger instead of making eternally long kill corridors and cheesing sieges and sappers.

Be a townie for a while. Buy a dilapidated house in a city with actual guards (Squinn is the best for newbies, if I recall correctly it is South West of The Hub) and start luring banditos into guards. If you need BASIC INCOME you can mine, but you can easily sustain yourself off of shitty iron clubs and armor off of starvers and dusters. Mining should last resort, "I'm literally about to die of starvation or some other shit" kind of last resort. The game itself is a slow grind so just stay tenacious and before too long you can actually hold your own against groups of enemies. Around 50 Attack/Weapon skill you can actually consider exploring beyond your backyard.

Alternatively you can get a crash course with a slave start. Don't feel too bad if your first escape ends with a death.

fight
dont savescum
you gain more experience for getting hit and ko'd than by winning fights
dont be afaird to disengage and run if you get tons of cut damage, but blunt damage is a nonissue and heals by itself. if you're fighting starving banduts, they do almost no cut damage but still make sure to stop and bandage before continuing, better to go down while not bleeding out so you don't die while unconscious
and dont mine copper

slave start is damn meme nobody should recommend
>stupidly long cage healing
>letting the game run in the background for hours just to use the inventory of shackles for str grinding
>makes you rank the broken stealth/lockpicking/assasination cheese trifecta to breeze through game as soon as youre out
