Passive Cooler, Complex Furniture, Complex Clothing, Smiting and Stonecutting are good examples of fundamental techs you'll suffer without. Many trivial tasks on a RimWorld game are actually locked behind research projects, and usually we don't pay too much attention to that because it comes embedded with the starting scenario or it's easy to research. But that also means access to a technology is going to play a huge role. (This only applies to your human colonists, all enemies, visitors and robots should behave normally.) Obviously that will require you to pay close attention to your pawns' capabilities and to who does what. Every time your colonists try to build, repair, craft or sow something, or even use a weapon, the game will verify if their knowledge allows them to do that. This mod's goal is to give you more challenge, and it does that by making everyday tasks on RimWorld a little harder.

So here are seven steps to a technologically advanced colony using Human Resources. I'm writing this guide to lay out some fundamentals so you don't get too frustrated trying to figure this out. The changes this mod makes to the game aren't that many, but being to some key game mechanics they might take some getting used to.
