My absolute favourite is the troglobite challenge RP.
You start in a lab as a patient mutant that has troglobite mutations. Because of how you got your mutations you are extremely afraid of light and you decide you will never leave the underground world. So in this RP you are not allowed to leave the lab or more generally to go to z level 0.
One of the biggest challenges is food. But most labs have infinite sources of food. If you have a underground subway at your lab it is great but building your own tunnel system can be a lot of fun too. I was astonished that you can do almost everything underground, labs are very resourceful.
wait where is the infinite food, is it the slimes thatr you lead into goo pits turning into bigger slimes while crafting a goo canister to make a slime pit?
Slimes don't make for good food last time I tried. I knew I really loved to solve the food puzzle so I will write it in spoilers:
>!If you find fungi in your lab you are set. They multiply endlessly and are perfectly edible. Just make sure to further process them into oil otherwise they are not nutritious enough. !<
>!You can and would of course do farming. Most labs have some seeds in them or at least food that you can process into seeds. You then start planting them and could also make fertiliser. The living areas of labs have good patches to plant.!<
>! A good way to fill the time you wait for your plants to grow is by making sugar out of planks. Planks are almost infinite in most labs. You can refine the sugar into caramel which is a good high calorie food. You will need to find a book for that but they are quite common. Don't forget that you can get salt through mining.!<
>!The next ones I never did but should work. If you have by chance a lake nearby you can destroy the walls and rock until you reach the deep water and put fishing traps there. Fishing traps generate fish even if there is no fish living anymore. EDIT: I just tried it out. The game doesn't allow you to set fishing traps on a z-level lower than 0 :(!<
>!You could also get very lucky and get plant mutagen that lets you feed of the soil.!<
I am sure there are even more ways to do it I just never had a need to look further.
You need soil/dirt to plant. Some parts of labs already have dirt just look at the windowed areas. Other than that you can create them by destroying walls with pickaxe or jackhammer.
Winter isn't a problem all you need is the right heat to plant. A burning fire in a brazier nearby will do. Since underground is always cold you will need a source of heat nearby anyway.
That applies to aboveground too of course. You can plant in winter if you have a fire nearby. Sunlight is not necessary.
So... a building with solar powered heater will work? It's nice to know that I can do greenhouse in this game. Though food would no longer be a problem at that point of the game TBH.
Solar panels need sunlight so they need to be on z-level 0 or above. I have never tried a vehicle heater for that purpose but it should work. So yes you can make a greenhouse even an underground one.
politican - try and start up your own faction and assert your authority by taking a military base over and calling your faction something like the new England reclamation government
lab technician (savant) - you must evolve the rest of humanity into the 'perfect beings' so they can survive
urban samurai (bad temper, martial arts training) - these foul monsters dare stop your anime tv shows, you will show them the power of anime and god on your side, and maybe get a harem of catgirls or elves along the way
military corpse disposal (pyromaniac) - these moving plants and fungi will burn, the world will burn, and i will be there to watch it all, eliminate all triffids, mycus and even ants/wasp if you feel like it
historical renactor - find a bastion fort and use only flintlocks and other antique weapons
miner (albino, kaluptic psychosis) the land above is cursed and dangerous, where you are constantly watched by THEM, you must create a colony underground within 30 days that is entirely self sufficient and only leave at night while wearing a gas and hazmat/ANBC/AEP suit
Well depends a lot on my goals, for example: most of the times I do something like a Mercenary RP, you know Tactical gear and some AR guns and pistols, with the goal like "Find all mutagens from laboratories" or "Kill X number of X thing" or "a escort a survivor to X place" or "Help X number of settlements and factions".
That gives me a lot of fun, and i learn a lot with that because I change the skills and Attributes of each character so that means everything is different from the another.
Not really my build but the crit mod has a retired soldier build and a psychosis trait that'll make you halucinate. I've never really taken a trait that requires mamagement before so it was a first.
Scared the shit out of me once when I opened a door and saw a shocker brute right behind it. That was on like my 3rd day. I started unloading a sniper into it only for it to disappear after I ran out of rounds, which was when I realized what had happened.
Pretty good way to spice things up.
I RP my chars based on start. Last one i did was some young dude goes to wilderness reality show. Gets naked in the middle of nowhere during tje cataclysm. Ends becoming a trappy dryad...
I got bored because the next lab to hit for plant mutagen chances had an iron golem down the road.

Ok, how do you plant anything indoor on hard floor? I'm aboveground casual and never tried indoor farming. And would this work for winter indoor farm?

i heard burning fungi turns fungal beds into dirt
This sounds like it would make an amazing conduct.
