I feel like I'm getting many more raids than on A14. I've had raids on days 55, 61 and then two on 63, which just seems over the top considering I've only just researched turrets and 5 raiders are coming for my three fighters (2x molotov, one club, one shotgun, one pistol). They were easy enough to deal with them because they split up and I have pigs following me around but still. e: Remind me to never, ever, ever, ever take on someone fleeing from pirates ever again. Two guys by a pistol wielder and the one I rescued one shotted by a sniper. Are refugee rescues likely to produce extra strong raiders or something? I've never seen raiders close to as capable as that on this save and I've been hovering around the same wealth and population for a long while now. Back to two guys and no power I go.

Well, that's it for my second colony, which didn't even come close to my A14 colony, my decision to offer sanctuary to a refugee called me off but really I hampered myself by overstretching before making sure my food supply, heating and defence were robust. I've drawn up a checklist for myself in attempt to stay disciplined when I build Colony Three. Kind of tempted to wait for a wanderer to stumble across the corpse of my base, though...

Sieges are getting pretty frustrating. Is it feasible to make my own artillery base and just mortar them into submission? One on it's own doesn't seem to do a ton.

Mortars work better the more you have. The only flaw is that you need one stack of ammo per mortar to be sure they'll keep firing, since if two guys want to reload at the same time, the first guy locks the stack of ammo, the second guy can't find any non-reserved stacks of ammo and wanders off for a joint

I'm super disappointed by how poo poo the deep drills are. You can't see what the deposit is until you build the actual drill and it only drills out the square around it so you have to keep building them. I have reached the point where I have no steel or components left and having to buy them all is really loving boring. I've been out of components for 3/4 of the game in fact and creating them seems to take ages. I guess I should just start again but I feel like I should "win" the game now I'm at the point that I can.

Zhentar posted:I'm not saying you shouldn't have three tile wide walls (it certainly does look nice), I'm saying if you do, the center tile should be open space. The game code considers any wall two or more solid tiles thick to be outdoors, so none of the heat conducting through those walls ends up in the rooms on the other side. It could be interesting to combine that with ventilation shaft shenanigans. Will raiders attack vents/coolers to get into passageways, or do they always prefer going after doors?

I thought the drilling was going to be you drop a drill on a node and now you get a very slow steady supply of that resource forever. I wish it was like that.

Agreed to help a dude and fought off the raid OK, only to find he's got thoroughly mediocre skills... and a luciferium addiction. A couple days later when he flew into his first withdrawal berserk a couple of my other colonists knocked him out, and he dropped a stack of 4 luciferium. Oh, oops the default drug policy wouldn't let him take the drug he needed to live. Extremely unfortunately, my "chemical fascination" colonist was nearby and immediately ran over and popped one before I could process what had happened. Filthy refugees just bringing violence and corrupting my colony with drugs

Things were going so well. Then a boar tore my medic's legs off. Her rescuer got maimed as well. Then a zzzt event blew up my hospital beds. Peg leg isn't showing as an option for an operation, either. Welp.

Jesus christ this game sometimes. Infestation in one of my exterior mines. Whatever, it's Winter, it'll deal with itself. Send my sniper to take out the hive after the it's down to 12% from the cold. Bugs die from starvation. Seconds after the Hive dies, I get a drone ship landing. Call in my other Sniper, have them go play peekaboo with the mechanoids. Kill all three, start on the ship. Raid hits, two guys with Sniper Rifles ( I have no armor yet ), two guys with triple Rocket Launchers. Great. Pull back to my colony, set up some sandbags, and prepare to fight them.......it's winter, all the predators are starving, and two bears jump the raid and slaughter it. Prep up and go back to deal with the drone ship, second raid off the back of the first. Nobody really scary except a single guy with a Sniper Rifle. Rather then attack my colony, they attack my boar pens nearby. My stud boar rushes out and kills 4 of them before they run screaming, including Sniper Rifle guy. Wish I could give him a name after that, cause King Pig deserves it. Just as I'm patching up my pigs, I get two back to back manhunter packs of 15 each. Currently sitting in my base, wondering what the hell is going on this winter.

drat, I'm getting worse at this, Colony Three lasts a mere 35 days. It was going OK, surviving well and just beefing up our heating (coldish desert) and being a little slow in building due to a lack of trees. Then a psychic pulse drove every dromedary mad and they killed everyone. Weirdly, all but 1 of my colonists had some kind of condition like bad back or angina which meant they couldn't outrun one and take potshots. I feel really vulnerable until I get some turrets down. Does anyone know if they can be hid from until they go away like regular manhunter packs? As far as I know they can only be killed once aggroed so I'm struggling to see what I could have done to not get killed there. Anyway, I decided to track which events I got from Randy and here they are: e: Wait, how do you link directly to an imgur image now?

The only option I have is to zoom in on it. Copying the url doesn't give the direct link anymore and trying to get the link direct from the image goes through to this url that starts with 'blob' and a bunch of gibberish text comes up. It's all weird and when I try to share to community I get 'unknown error'. I'll try later.

So, I finally launched a ship:  I decided to finally leave after a poison ship crash landed and I was able to call in for 3 groups of reinforcements (4?) from an outlander town to wipe out the force that popped out (7-8 centipedes and 4-5 scythers) while sending one guy with a sniper rifle to help them out without feeling the hit to my silver. Also my chokepoint where all raids had to come through was basically undefeated. Christ, I was expecting naming my colony 'Invincible' would end up being ironic, except it loving thrived. Also bonus screenshot of a worker's work speeds:  Note that he really only had high skill in shooting, social and artistry. The rest were 6 or less.

Yeah they can be infrequent, but trying to be completely self sufficient is just more trouble than it's worth. The component assembly bench requires thirty components to build, in addition to 400 steel. In my opinion you're better off spending those resources on setting up an indoor sunlamp area with heaters and growing your cash crop of choice to exchange for more steel/components. Seeing as how components take 30 steel to craft 1 component, you're going to have to trade for steel in the end either way.

I really wish you could assign planting and harvesting as different jobs. Right now I have a huge farm to feed my 22 colonists which rarely gets past half planted because harvesting is a higher priority task than planting. My growers will be just starting to sow seeds on one side of the farm when a plant will hit 100% grown and they will all rush across the entire farm to harvest a few plants. Then they wander back over to start planting again and another plant will hit 100%. I wouldn't need as large a farm if I went back to fine meals but it annoys me that this would work just fine if I could change the priorities.

I wish I had known how expensive the bench would be after I spent ages researching it, not to mention going through all the hoops for the most advanced researching stuff, when I was facing a chronic shortage of components due to a lack of traders in my first game.

I had a real poo poo show tonight. It all started when a psychic ship part crashed. I sent out two snipers to trigger the mechanoids and pick them off. Three released prisoners ran into the scyther and centipede from the north while a group of allies appeared from the south, triggering a big prisoner/ally/mechanoid melee.  My crappy allies enraged a group of bears and a cougar and then fled north. The animals caught up to them, though. I had pulled my snipers back to base to take defensive positions by this point.  While my pawns were mowing down bears at my base entrance, a raid popped up next to the mechanoids and triggered another big fight. The raiders won, but were so weak after that that one volley from my turrent wall made them retreat.  All's well that ends well, I guess?

Yea I had insane amounts of steel but no components. I've had no components since around the time I researched turrets, so very very early in the game. Like I say traders are so infrequent that all I'm doing is sitting around waiting for traders. That's my game now. And it's boring, but I want to finish the game, dammit.

So what's the trick with RedistHeat? It just seems like a huge investment in steel and components for what you get out of it. Does anyone have a working example they can post? It seems like a constant struggle for me to get the duct network to be consistently low/high enough to keep my base climate controlled.
