My favorite scenario: - Permanent psychic drone (it always comes out male which is a little weird but w/e) - Mandatory traits of: Very Neurotic, Volatile, Psychopath, Pyromania so I can justify the cheese of having a lot of characters with psychopath and the work speed bonus of very neurotic but it's also pretty fun to have everyone teetering on the edge of madness all the time

fart simpson posted:Oh god, I'm playing this for the first time in months as a rich adventurer scenario. My colonist is psychopathic so I'm killing everyone who attempts to join the colony so I can remain a hermit, but anyway a manhunting boomalope appeared on the map and I kept missing my shots. It was headbutting my and broke my left leg but I managed to get out of range and finish it off and the explosion was uncomfortably close. I'm in a rainforest, so the fire started spreading toward my wooden base and I was scrambling to build a small concrete firebreak to save my bedroom and stockpiles despite a broken leg and physical exhaustion as the fire spread closer and closer, and then thankfully a thunderstorm appeared and saved me when the fire was only 4 tiles from my buildings.

This fuckin game. I got this just the other day and holy poo poo someone basically made dwarf fortress with graphics and scifi accoutrements I never knew I needed. As soon as I saw I could freeze my stockpile and heat my bedrooms with the same cooler I was sold. Some stories from my many games: My first game ends with everyone dying of malaria and me sneaking a womans corpse out of her husbands bed so he doesn't have to wake up that way. He does wake up to some other corpses though. I haven't dug any graves so shes put out of the way in the dump, everyone is dying of malaria and I can't find the husband. I go looking for him and find him critically ill, lying next to his wife and "looking at the sunset". I am genuinely sad. I make a team of psychopathic doctors who plan to set up an organ farm/tasteful armchair factory with a mating pair of domesticated grizzlies. Some mad max looking cannibal turns up to join us but gets incredibly depressed by how hardcore my kru is and after a raid ends up on the operating table and I start replacing bits of him, some needed and some not. My surgeon fails to remove his nose and ends up stabbing up his kidneys and spine instead, he goes into a berserker rage out of the anesthetic, flees the room and beelines for the nearest grizzly to die in stupid combat. I set up a rich explorer as Donald Trump and give him a small loan of 10 thousand silver and a whole bunch of gold and a golden double bed. He is abrasive and dislikes women but is industrious. Things go south quickly, the gold I brought only builds a tiny room and I can't install his golden bed. Donald gets sick from sleeping in a half built house eating raw antelope and develops bad asthma. The first colonist who joins is a (presumably) Mexican woman named Nunez who has the lazy trait. She is everything Trump hates and hilariously she claims his golden bed and relegates him to the wooden shack. Nunez refuses to do any work except cook so Trump is dragging himself out of bed and wheezing about building the rest of the colony (until I figure out how to force Nunez to be helpful). Things get off the ground when Trump purchases a couple good slaves, some useless chick and a beautiful and deadly tribal warrior dude who trump refuses to lend his charge rifle to. Weeks of banter lead to Trump and Nunez falling in love sitcom style and Trump is overjoyed to be sleeping in his golden bed at last, a tasteful wedding ceremony is held next to the slaughtering table and a half finished pair of hemp trousers. Trump's asthsma is getting worse though and Nunez is worried, she tries to harvest the lungs of a bandit prisoner but fails and his comrades come with incendiary mortars. Trump meanwhile is incapacitated, having gone insane at the death of his two huskies in the previous raid and also them automatically being made into food which he likely ate. The brave tribal warrior leads a charge to fend the bandits off but is cut down by a sniper and pistol crew defending the mortars. The whole of Trumptopia burns to the ground apart from the tiny golden room which houses incapacitated Trump. Unfortunately he wakes up, goes mad and gets shot.

One of my colonists got shot in the head and had permenant brain damage. Well, okay, I guess I'll steal his kidney and do away with him. Doctor botches the surgery and he dies, but oh well he was a dead man anyways. Then I look at the doctor. "-20 mood, fiancee died". Whoops.

Oh and how can I forget the peice of art one of my guys made. My friend was watching me play and a guy got married so I had him immediately rush to the table to commemerate the occasion. At the same time I was trying to build an assault rifle and failing spectacularly. The peice of art the groom made ended up being a huge scultpure of his wife having an orgasm and being supes randy in a gun factory.

I made a custom scenario: 5 drunkard soldiers go on a bender and wake up on the side of a mountain, massively hungover, with nothing but a boatload of beer, MREs and their armour and weapons. Playing Rough Randy Random has gifted me with many extra colonists and relatively tame events. The few raids I've had have been easily dealt with thanks to the starting weapons and bunkers. Highlights include Jenny Antonson, the 89 year old demented woman who happens to be a crack sniper, spending her spare time making sculptures and narrowly avoiding dying of heart attacks. Two of my starting soldiers falling in love, and as if right on cue, the lady's ex-husband invited himself to the colony to start poo poo. Thankfully, the ex-husband found a new love of his own, and all was well! Things have been going too well. Even when a bug infestation showed up, I was able to funnel the insects through a rubble-filled hallway and pick them off with minimal injuries. I'm expecting Randy to get bored and jam a spiked dildo up the colony's arse any second now.

Panfilo posted:In warn rainy biomes should I just grow a wide variety of things? Farming seems pretty low maintenance. It doesn't really matter that much once you get past the initial demand, I'm pretty sure you only need one type of vegetable to make lavish meals and the blight incident hits everything you're growing except trees (pretty dumb really) so the only thing that really matters is a) does it have to be cooked and b) how fast does it mature.

Azhais posted:My last colony died because Phoebe Chillax (whose name is clearly ironic) I think author explained that storytellers generate bad events randomly for some interval of time X, then lay low for time Y, then again cause trouble for X days. So for Phoebe it just means rest period is longer, but no less poo poo comes your way during periods of trouble.

I'm mostly outside of this mountain and using it for safety, but I have dug into it to place the prison barracks somewhere more secure. Bugs keep showing up in it, but it's just the prison so I don't really care too much. Just lock the doors, turn up the heaters, and watch 'em fry. Any prisoners in there, well, the bugs get 'em before they're cooked.

Flesh Forge posted:I think you meant to say, beer is a very good addition to a colony It's certainly a social lubricant. My current Team consists of Ben and Alisa, a married couple, with Ben arriving after Kyle, a nocturnal type that avoids all the others, and Tail, sister of Alisa. Tail was looking like the weakest link before her foot got torn off and she's been turned into the base mother. A late arrival was Riu, an architect who apparently hates women. Tail and Riu got horrifically drunk and have moved in together. I can't wait to see what happens next. Amusingly, I ended up with a Manhunter Rhino; after losing a colony to manhunter wargs, I decided to hide out. It seems that my flock of Turkeys took an exception to it and pecked it to death.

Any way to force two colonists to hook up? I have 2 gay ladies who are permanently in a bad mood because they both constantly attempt to hit on every other female colonist and get rejected. I was hoping I could hook them up so they would stop that.

Set an area for mining and have them as the only miners, have a crafting room with them each at a table, have them share the same joy time with all the joy stuff near each other, etc. People will naturally socialize when they're doing stuff near each other.

You're not supposed to actually be a sociopath. Just wait. Making them work or hang out together only means they interact more. It will either happen or not on their own terms. Making them hang out together might even mean a bloody fatal fist fight! Who knows!!
