IronicDongz posted:I felt like I didn't have time to do anything with concrete/metal/stone once it happened(so I guess I'll have to do it preemptively in the future), and last time I tried to put out a fire of any real size my dudes all got heatstroke and died, so I was afraid of trying to put it out. Also there was like 4 separate fires which quickly became large. You don't need a full wall, just a break. You could have rushed up and built a 3-5 block wall, and the fire wouldn't have been able to spread past it. Have two of your colonists on that, and have the others quickly plant cutting the area between the break and you. The other two fires are near meaningless. They'll burn out well before they hit your base, or it'll rain. You only ever really need to build breaks when fires happen close to home.

GenericOverusedName posted:Out of curiosity, why'd you dig out your rock like that ? Prospecting mainly. It also makes it so my colonists don't have to detour around a mountain when I get raided and need to man the walls. Plus they can double as cover if by some miracle someone makes it through the wall. Eventually I'll expand and build in those spots, but until then they stay like that to prevent cave ins. I'm on my 7th year now, but expansion's been slow. Most of those pawns you see there only got picked up in the past year or two, I got really unlucky with captures and only had one spontaneous join. It's finally to the point that I don't have to juggle my priorities around for harvests since I have enough haulers to get it all indoors before it rots now, which allows me to keep my craftsmen working on making things.

Away all Goats posted:I put my beer stockpile right outside my prison area. They always go for the bottles instead of the armory like one doorway away. Smart idea, too bad it wouldn't work for PRISON BREAK 2: FRONTIER JUSTICE  I had called in 3 caravans to trade some excess weapons and animals (no more chickens thankfully) when another prison break was staged. All the trade caravaneers went ballistic and started unloading on the escapees with their GRENADES and INCENDIARY LAUNCHERS, practically destroying my prison in the process. edit: They almost killed my million dollar man (full bionics) with all the grenades they were throwing at the prisoner. Thank god I made plate armour part of his regular outfit.

All my exterior walls end up double thickness as soon as I can. Also my prisons have a sally port. That way if they get out one door I have time to beat the down before they get out of the second.

TBH, if there were more upsides to playing 'good' guys, I'd have a go at it. The problem is, there's just not enough meat to go around, and my dogs are hungry too. I feel like Ramsay Bolton more than the reavers, honestly. Maybe it's because I'm using the Medieval mod. E; Now that I think of it, every year I'm harvesting my crops thinking 'winter is coming'.

The Prepare Carefully mod is great for setting up the  scenarios. I made a family of four, replaced the starting pet with a pair of wild boars, replaced the starting guns with shotguns. Nice country family: mother does cooking, farming, and crafting; daughter helps ma with cooking and farming, and is the animal tender and trader/warden; father hunts, builds, and helps wrangle the animals; and son helps pa with the buildin' and huntin' when he isn't doing the bookwork. And they're all sociopathic cannibals with human leather dusters and cowboy hats  They recently rescued a lady from a wrecked escape pod, and then a pirate raid happened. The poor girl's having some trouble settling in with The Family

Yeah, the only real down side to psychopaths is relationship differences, and if you start off with a group of them it's basically complete harmony until you start adding outsiders. It gives you a nice grace period to get things off the ground.

Psychopaths get no mood boost from socializing either. It can actually be harder to keep them happy since they don't really get any offsets

Less of an offset than something like neurotic, sure. But it's a wash when you consider all of the negative mood modifiers they completely ignore; especially when it comes to the nefarious things you can do to help your colony along.

Cannibals don't mind butchering any more as of A15 at least. I forget if they still hate seeing bodies though. EDIT: Just got a heat wave and a solar flare together, jokes on you Randy I opted to cheap out by mass woodcutting and sticking passive coolers everywhere

Yeah, I'm relatively thankful in the early game when my food sources can play interference while I shoot them. Saves me the trouble of slaughtering them later. It really sucks when your trained animals end up being cannon fodder in the late game though.

I honestly have never had a problem getting an embarkation up past basic subsistence which could have been solved by cannibalism. Usually if that happens it's going to be someone getting killed or crippled in an early event leading to a break chain, and while cannibalism might wind up happening as part of the failure spiral I'm usually in bad enough shape that a raid will knock the place over instead of resulting in edible contributions. Also my favorite thing about this game so far is that I can feel like I'm taking the moral high ground because I only feed the corpses of my enemies to my tamed animal herds, instead of to my population.

The surgery is pants-on-head retarded in this game. Literally, your surgeons are so stupid they probably wear their pants on their head. Doesn't matter how much skill in medicine they have, how good the medicine they're using is, or how brightly-lit and sterile the operating environment is. They will empty your patient's abdominal cavity while trying to fit them for a hook hand, because Tynan demands it.

For the beavers, wait until they fall asleep and then send out some drafted people to shoot their fuzzy butts. Or blow them up with a mortar, that's always fun too
