I just got the game a week or so ago. Already put 15 hours or so into it. Planning to start a new game because I chose a difficulty level that's not very challenging. I'm using some of the mod packs from the link in the OP for this second go through and no matter what I try, I can't get the colony to start. The screen shows where my people should be landing and then it locks up. What's the easiest way to figure out which mod did it? Is there a log generated somewhere that I can check?

A psychic ship just landed right in the middle of all my crops and proceeded to cause them all to with and die! Haha...that's kind of cool actually.

It should be the bottom right of your game screen just above the date and weather. e; although you don't actually need that info for heaters and coolers in most cases, because the temp you set those to is their target temperature, and they will try to achieve it as long as they are powered.

Also, I just deleted everything in my mods folder and then re-pasted all the contents from the download linked in the OP and everything worked. Not sure what happened.

Is there any reasonable way to see what items/weapons/armor I have? i.e. if I want to equip a different weapon, is the only way for me to do that to literally look through all the weapons in my stockpile(s) by scrolling around and clicking on them to find a new one? Because that is stupid

Because that is stupid Make an armory. A room inside, stockpile set to critical, weapons only with durability over 50% or something. Makes it easier to find good weapons when you have to many. Do the same with clothes.

Is there anyway to set up the heater and cooler always to be on to keep the temperature in the rooms just right all the time? Can I force my people to not wear sub 50% durability gear? I tell the to drop their low items and they just pick it up again and get the mood decrease.

You can set the minimum quality of items as well as what items colonists will try to wear. By default they will try to wear as many clothes as they can and with no regard to durability. Heating and cooling can be done by setting the cooler to the top end of the desired temperature and the heater to the low end of the desired temperature. A good starting point is 15 degrees minimum and 25 degrees maximum.

I always farm cotton/muffalos/alpacas and get a decent crafter to crank out spare clothes for everyone. Having a small stockpile of fresh clothes is always nice for when a fight doesn't go well and you have sad and injured colonists with combat-worn clothes. Kinda wish colonists knew cabinets and dressers though.

I just watched the end of this guy's playthrough. It's fairly painful to watch, but to be honest, he made some really bad decisions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAGvzG7etuo Skip to the 17 minute mark if you want to watch his colonists go down in a blaze of glory. Then the video ends with a whimper.

So people that use redist heat, does it work for cooling for you? For the life of me I can't get cooling to work. Heat, no problem. But my network will never cool. I've got an industrial cooler dropping the room to about 3 kelvin and the pipes are still room temperature. Intakes and ducts are connected to the right network. Not a huge issue since my colony is in a boreal forest and it's never actually warm out, but I'd love to make a middle of the base freezer for meds

Free heat!

Just lost my fave fort to mechanoids. They wouldn't loving come out of their ancient evil room, and said room was inside a mountain (which would have rendered my MIRV mortar unusable, correct?), and when I went up to install a minigun turret closer to them, they just pelted my colonists with firebombs, and things went downhill from there. How do you guys handle a combined and entrenched mechanoid enemy?

I wouldnt gently caress with them at all, not wake them up, until I have a small army of bionic super-warriors with an insane bloodlust that can only be sated by mechanoid and pirate death. MIRV mortar? Sounds like an easy mode mod to me..

I wouldn't say that, they're no more accurate, shells will blow the gently caress up if left to detetoriate, and won't work when your enemies are stuck inside a mountain. Good for instilling a lively terror in primitive tribespeople, but that's about it. Man, I've tried taming and selling animals, raising a veritable fuckload of corn, and making medicine for profit, and I can't even come close to making the kind of money I need to buy bionics and weapons.

Sniper rifles work for me. Sometimes it aggros them, sometimes they don't notice. If they start coming for me I just move my guy(s) back and then try again.

If they're happy in there I'd leave them be? Wall off the room I guess.

Make a big room around their entrance out of aggro range, fill it with wooden furniture, set it on fire Err, technically they can die from overheating and freezing but if you have a look their temperature range is something like 200 degrees C to -100 C or something. So if you feel you can do it you can certainly try cooking them but be prepared for anything even moderately combustible to also experience the same.

It's really not hard to build a bunch of wooden walls and then molotov them to get the place warmed up. The hard part is doing it in such a way that you can light the fire, then wall them in without them coming for you.

That part isn't hard but if there's anything in the room you don't want to spontaneously catch fire, you may have some problems. Essentially I'm assuming there is something worth looting in the room which you may not want to incinerate.

It sounds like "them coming for him" would be OK, since the problem is they just won't leave their nice safe burrow

 Build a room around the ship part like that, with wooden beds to the right, where the fire is. Put an incendiary IED next to the beds. Get a dude to stand in the corner where the chair is on the picture, and melee attack the ship. Mechanoids will spawn and trigger the IED eventually, setting the beds on fire. This will raise the temperature in the room enough to kill them. Remove the roof, dismantle a wall and set the place to home area to put out the fire. Do not destroy the ship part while the place is on fire, you will destroy the items that drop.

I swear to Christ, the last 10 colonists/prisoners I've had have been super melee champions with no shooters in sight. I have a single shooter who has had all but a single leg and eye replaced due to war wounds. Nobody is even an 'interested' shooter. I guess it's time to scrounge up every bit of body armour/personal shield I can find and start churning out masterwork plasteel gladiuses (and then just roll over and die to the eventual mechanoid invasion).
