More thoughts and observations about arctic colonies in rimworld:
Geothermal power is the only power you should be using, up 24/7, no batteries needed, and produces heat
Each geo plant will be sufficient for one hydroponic greenhouse plus a modest base
2 people and 2 muffalos is pretty optimal, the muffalos provide excellent wool for winter clothing in the long term and between them 6 basins will only support 2 people, the game will not allow you to remain under 4 colonists though.
It in fact is possible to get wood if you are willing to devote a sunlamp and thus geo plant to agriculture that is not food.
As the base expands the interior temperature will rapidly drop, add more heaters as necessary.
Having a heated base with hydroponic crops makes the colonists feel entitled to many modern amenities, this makes controlling them much harder.
Polar bears find colonists very tasty, and are often not deterred from this lunch by gunfire.
