rimworld
The ability to build spaceships has been added to Rimworld.
I have researched everything available to me and from what I can see I have five different components I can use to build a ship:
When I assemble these in an arrangement that's allowed I end up with a branch like structure with all these misshapen parts hanging off a the ship structural beams.
How do I assemble a spaceship?
In order to feed your prisoners, you have to have a colonist assigned to the Warden task.
Once you have someone tasked with being a Warden, they will automatically take care of the prisoner; whether they're feeding them, or executing them.
Select a colonist and right-click on the comms console; there should only be one option, "open communications". Select it. They will walk over to the console and start fiddling with it, at which point a window will pop up asking which ship to open communication with. If there are no ships in range, they'll still try to use the console but that window will instead say "there is no-one in range to communicate with".
If the "open communications" option doesn't appear or the colonist refuses to use the comms console, check:
If all of these requirements are met and you still can't communicate, you've probably hit a bug; Rimworld, being pre-alpha, has these in abundance.

Build all of things in the ship tab, but make sure that they are all directly adjacent to each other. Also, the cryptosleep chamber has to be connected to the structural beam. Once built, select some colonists and make them go into the cryptosleep chambers, then press on the ship computer core and press launch. The game will warn you if you're missing a component.
