The colonist is still capable of doing the job, but gets an increasing mood debuff the longer they do a job they hate.

So Very Passionate can be set to 1 priority, passionate can be set to 2, none set to 3, and what is disabled set to a max of 4. That way everyone can still do everything. I'd also like to see a system where skills don't degrade but passions are more fluid though. Let there be a very small chance people develop passions or hatreds for something they are working in frequently, and a chance to lose them if they haven't done it for a while.

I use RedistHeat (I think) and set up a two tier freezer/fridge system with active vents. The fridge side has the meals and the vents are set to 0C. The coolers in the freezer are set to -10C. Tends to keep the freezer arou,d -6 or so and the fridge dances between 1 and 0.

I think a lot of the backgrounds that disable tasks are from backers who don't want their special snowflake to end up hauling all day and/or stabbed in the face. The unstable butcher background is pretty funny though.

Am I crazy or do pawns get a lot more "Incapable of"s? I haven't played much for about two versions or so, and it seems like it's gone from "an occasional annoyance" to "mandatory on any pawn with vaguely usable skills". Also is there a list of all the backer backgrounds? I've only noticed a couple offhand because I'm bad at paying attention to fluff. Also also I just lost my first Randy/Rough colony and you're all completely right, this is absolutely the way to go (despite how hard I got hellowned in the end).

Anybody have tips on how to have a dependable food supply without needing stupid amounts of crop fields? I always feel like I'm just barely feeding my colony and winters are terrifying. Maybe the answer is just plant more fields forever. loving love this game though.

I got so frustrated with all the incapables that I installed a mod that enables hauling and cleaning on everybody. Sure it's cheating blah blah blah, shut up and haul that rock, I don't care if you were a glitterworld umpire or whatever. Yeah thanks to everyone who recommended Randy Random, this is a lot more fun. I just had a seige and a raid within one day of each other, but due to some luck and a lot of careful micro I've got a Also a blight just destroyed all my crops so we're probably going to have to "release" some prisoners to get through the famine.

Hunting'll give you pretty decent amounts of food for any animal bigger than a raccoon.

It's a decent supply of meat, plus you get shooting, cooking, and tailoring XP out of it.

In that case yeah, planting larger fields or making hydroponics will help. If there is no game and you haven't researched hydroponics then you can always cannibalize raiders as well

Prosthophiles are, if I remember, severely unimpressed by having a lovely peg leg. Sadly they are not nerds from the internet and will not be amazed by jamming magnets in them at random.

Which is nice in the case of prosthophobes at least, because it means that if they lose a leg you can make them semi-mobile again without them flipping their poo poo over not being a waste of space and resources. Had that happen once before I knew that peg legs didn't count and felt guilty letting them starve to death in bed rather than stay there forever.

Is it possible to raise reputation with pirate factions? I released one back to them in good health, but nothing happened to our relationship. Of course I only did it because they were incapable of anything and had an annoying voice, so maybe the pirates didn't appreciate it.

I think pirates are the only faction you can't raise reputation with to get them to stop attacking. Because god forbid you don't deal with 70 people assaulting your base every three days

Combat Realism mod, had a siege appear and set up just outside my colony. I send out my men to fight them off like I usually do for sieges. One of their guys comes out with an incendiary launcher and shoots a bunch of shots at my people who are all in a heavily forested area. The fire begins to spread to their little siege camp to the point where they have to start fighting the fire, but they aren't making much head way. I decide to stop risking my men and just have them retreat, beating a path through the flames. In the end they retreat when half of them have burned to death in the fire that they themselves caused. All I really lost was my front wall, which was wood at the time(now replaced with stone blocks), as the area beyond that was completely barren. The only downside is that most of their equipment burned in the inferno. I did send out my people to put out the fire afterwards to keep it from spreading too far.

Thanks for the youtube recommendation earlier. Think I'll pick this up soon after my love for DFO wanes again. Based on what I've seen so far it looks like I can kind of sort of bumblefuck around sight unseen and be okay, but barring that, is there any ingame tutorial?

Ciaphas posted:Thanks for the youtube recommendation earlier. Think I'll pick this up soon after my love for DFO wanes again. The tutorial basically amounts to making you click on the tabs, but nothing really like a decent handhold-y "this is how you make a building and assign jobs and make a freezer" type campaign mode. It isn't that hard to figure out overall, just don't be like the new guys I see on youtube that build an oven, click bills, say "WHAT THE gently caress ARE BILLS ANYWAY, NOT MESSING WITH THAT MENU YET" and 5 minutes later start ranting about their lazy rear end in a top hat colonists not making any food. Honestly just load up quill18's latest LP's first episode and watch the first 10 minutes where he lands on the planet, immediately pauses it, and gets all the work priorities set up and gets some basic jobs going, and you should have all the groundwork you need. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOjsEAHqyfE The only caveat is that he's using the work tab, animals tab, and medical tab mods (which are all on the workshop and all amazing UI enhancements) so some of the tabs won't look the same if you're doing vanilla

Man, I've had a volcanic winter going on for 27 days (I'm mostly solar powered) and I'm about a week into toxic fallout, not good base building weather. I have two big problems, the first is food, I butchered everything I could on the map without getting toxic buildup so I have 35 meals and about 450 meat for 8 colonists, about ten meals each. I haven't seen another animal other than an Alphabeaver swarm that decided for some reason it didn't want to stick around the barren hellhole I find myself in and went away. I do have some indoor growing facilities but they won't support 8 people so I'm ok for now but it's a worry since I'm used to just shooting things when food gets low. The other is power, I have eight lots of solar power and two wind turbines but there's a volcanic winter on and I've just set up my indoor farming so it's not doing it unless it's windy. I have four wood burners but it's no fun trying to keep them fueled when outside is poison and everything is dying. Looks like tough times ahead. I'm drowning in fabrics and furs so a trade ship or caravan or even a friendly cargo pod drop would be really, really nice. Walton Simons fucked around with this message at 23:21 on Aug 15, 2016 |

You can actually stay outside for a good long time in toxic fallout. Just watch your guys and let them recover whenever they hit minor. Even serious is rarely an issue, but keep it to emergencies. What I tend to do is unrestrict them one by one and let them go get acid rained on in shifts and stuff can still get done (if slowly)
