Yeah, these are survivors of a shipwreck that are forced to kill, not blood knights. It's like your grandmother parading around with a head on a spike just because she was stranded somewhere

So does peppering your base interior with embrasures help for fighting off bug attacks? It seems like it would so I've been trying it out, but I haven't had any bugs come through yet to know for sure.

You still get an adrenaline rush from combat and it feels good to defend your home.

Man, god help you if you ever get stranded on a planet with a bunch of goons....Have fun dying horribly of Malaria while the only ambulatory neckbeards are too busy LARPing to give you medicine, and too retarded to yank corn cobs off the plants. I can't help but think the dev made fun of kickstarter people in general; there are wayyyyy too many 'idea guys' you end up rolling that have great combat skills and art but in an overall survival situation over 5 years are completely useless.

I'm just surprised there isn't an "easily triggered" trait that is like the super version of bloodlust. So my latest escape pod contained a staggeringly ugly, pessimistic, pyromanic that also happened to be the mother of one of my colonists. He was at -50 to his mom thanks to the +30 (mom) -80 (staggeringly ugly) social mods. Who in the hell thought a -80 social modifier was a good idea Azhais fucked around with this message at 21:49 on Aug 17, 2016 |

Azhais posted:I'm just surprised there isn't an "easily triggered" trait that is like the super version of bloodlust. That's the same modifier as you get for murdering someone's son. I had someone's son take part in a raid, we captured him, nursed him back to health and released him when it became obvious that the strain of recovering from the raid meant that we couldn't look after so many prisoners. He thanked us by raiding us again with a bunch of guys in personal shields. We fought them off fairly easily and he started fleeing, his movement was impaired so I thought I'd have one of my colonists give him a couple of digs with a club for good measure. Killed him outright and now his father is despondent (I wouldn't describe him as a great son, really) and hates the guts of the killer. Good times. e: Oh, wonderful.

Randy can really make things build up. I've had two raids and mechanoids in the last three days and now I'm dealing with a psychic drone plus a siege. I can only sit here and try to absorb the damage since my first, pretty weedy counterattack got kiboshed when one of my guys went berserk as soon as we left the base. Ooof, incendiary round right to the power supply, only 19 to go! e: Here's an actual annoyance. It looks like I can only specify something to be made out of a material if I actually have it to hand. My preference would be sandstone to repair a nasty big mortar hole but I can only choose uranium, plasteel, marble and steel, none of which I want to use. I don't have any sandstone to hand, true, but it's so easy for me to make it that it should be on the list anyway. Walton Simons fucked around with this message at 23:12 on Aug 17, 2016 |

It also seems that materials aren't counted unless they're in one of your stockpiles. I knew for a fact I had more than 50 plasteel littering the map, but it wouldn't let me start building the multi-analyzer because I didn't have enough materials. Maybe things marked for hauling should be counted as your resources... although that'll have to wait until Alpha 16, because it looks like Alpha 15 is locked in and coming soon: https://ludeon.com/blog/2016/08/features-preview-of-alpha-15/

Is there a way to get the preview A15 version through sendowl or is it steam only? EDIT: meatsaw posted:Although the shotgun isn't a bad vanilla weapon, one of my favorite parts of the Combat Realism mod is the ability to make beanbag ammo - so far it's been the perfect way to take someone down without injuring them (too much). I've used it to capture, used it to subdue escapees, and used it to stop rampages and mental breaks. One of the reasons I use Glittertech at all is because of the Pacifier, it's basically a futuristic taser. I'd love to see less-lethal weapons make it to the vanilla game.

That reminds me, I had a colonist once who was my negotiator/trader. He was pretty, and the women of the colony were constantly trying to woo him, but he only had eyes for the other (pretty) female colonist. Until the accident. I forget what type of small vicious animal it was (probably an alphabeaver) but one went mad and attacked him while he was outside with the trade caravan. First strike took his nose clean off, the next an ear. He beat the thing to death, and walked into hospital with most of his face missing to recover. Days later, he'd been up and running again for a while, but hadn't been in a very good mood. He keeps dipping into the mental break danger zone. I go to check why - he's now disfigured and has been in a bunch of arguments with his beau, who no longer likes him. He seemed to give up on her, and tried his luck with the rest of the women - but now they're wise to his poo poo, and they slam him over and over with rejections. The accident turned him from Adonis to Nice Guy, and he's a miserable wreck. . Then comes along my newest recruit - a walk-in from the snowy wastes, she's a no-nonsense type and has a super short fuse. Everyone in the colony gets along with her just fine, she leaves them alone mostly and they her, but since she's pretty good socially I relegate Nice Guy to the munitions factory and promote her to lead negotiator. Nice Guy doesn't take this well. He flirts with her for a while, but she rejects him repeatedly. Then he figures he's had enough of this poo poo, and starts insulting her at every opportunity. It all comes to a head when finally, over dinner, he flirts with her once again, and when rejected, starts a fistfight. She gets up, strides around the table, ducks a swing - and breaks his jaw. One hit KO. I never had a problem with Nice Guy again

Is there a way to mark a specific item to throw in the cremator? Like I say I want to burn this one jacket that's at 10% without burning every other jacket like it. Should be something you can just do with a right click.

I'm really interested in the new a15 features so I updated to the beta branch yesterday and started a new colony. I'm about to harvest my first field of coke and marijuana and am researching drug production. Can't wait to have my own little drug cartel. Does anyone know anything about the deep mining yet?

Pacifists would be fine if you couldn't give them attack orders and they would only operate in self-defense but they don't even do that. At best you could give them power shields and make them corpsman.

Can pacifists hunt? I'd assumed that was included in "violent," but I can't think of any other reason why they'd be able to equip weapons.
