But if it does get monotonous you can change your storyteller and difficulty on the fly in the options menu Sweet, you just sold me on the game with that last bit. One thing about games in this genre (or adjacent to this genre) that doesn't happen enough is letting me decide when I want Chill Funess and Enemies Everywhere on the fly.

Along with changing the storyteller whenever you want, developer mode is still a toggle option in the menu. So if you get a random raid (or three) and want everyone to gently caress off, you can enable dev mode make them all flee. It's your game, play it however you want.

yoloer420 posted:Is there a trick to prevent colonists from becoming bonded with meat? Don't assign them masters. Animals can only bond when taming, when healing, or interacting with their master. Don't confuse the naming after nuzzling for bonding; it just gives the pawns a short mood boost and doesn't matter otherwise. LonsomeSon posted:Yeah, draw up an Animal Area of everything you don't want them to have access to, invert it, and then designate a low-priority roofed stockpile outside of the freezer entrance. My understanding is that animals will still be able to haul crops in from the fields, while your colonists will ignore that stockpile except to move poo poo from there to the higher-priority stockpiles. There's a bug that can prevent them from hauling sometimes with that setup. There's a fix for it in my fixes mod.

I wish there was a way to manage guns the same way outfits are handled. Unless that already exists and I'm just missing it. Combining that with a toggle to prevent the forbidding of dropped weapons would remove a lot of busywork.

With all this streamlined micromanagement it baffles me that I can't copy paste bill settings from one crafting table to another. Or just select 5 and set bills for all 5.

I am having the worst raid. Four centipedes and a scyther. Scyther races to the front, sets up shop just outside turret range and starts plinking away. This is where my 20+ mortar setup obliterates him in seconds. Except it hasn't. About 60 shells have been thrown at him and not one has hit. Not one. The area around him is utterly levelled, but he's a-OK  All I can think of is this:  I guesshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9yOVjZsiOM&t=155s

Seems it could jump 1 but not 2 for me (cable on the road is not catching fire) Meanwhile I just had a raid of 30 something raider tribals. Two volleys of 20 shells and my stockpile now has loincloths and spears out the rear end. I also caught three of them alive but of course two of them died seconds after being put in prison so I got the penalty for both. Dejawesp fucked around with this message at 00:14 on Jan 29, 2017 |

Dejawesp posted:I was about to ask about that when I saw the cable laying on the floor. Triple wide it is then. Raiders typically won't attack walls, unless they're sappers, so placing your wires inside of walls might be the safest thing of all (if you can afford the materials) As far as fires go, I think you need to have 3-4 tiles width to effectively prevent the spread. If you know that a fire is coming in time, you can also use the clear foliage order to clear out the area of anything flammable before it catches.

Toxic fallout, starvation, ate the wounded again, infestation, many died. I need to stock more food. And you know. After the famine, and after the infestation. Everyone was still alive though most people were wounded. It was afterwards that people died. No less than 13 berserks in less than 12 in game hours. People wiping out a machine gun in a hospital room. I set guards to subdue them but a third party shows up with an assault rifle and shoots him dead instead. But you know who never dies? Dough the retarded bear.  Several in game years ago she was locked out during toxic fallout and got so contaminated that she developed dementia and she spends large parts of the day wandering confused. She takes part in most fights and is constantly incapacitated for getting in front of the guns. I stopped caring about the bear an in game decade ago but she just won't die. Volmarias posted:Raiders typically won't attack walls, unless they're sappers, so placing your wires inside of walls might be the safest thing of all (if you can afford the materials) Raiders will randomly meander around and attacks walls that I used as filler just to make a mountain flat on the side. Even when that wall is nowhere near the base. I can have a wall that is 2 layers thick at the gate and then 6 layers thick at the side with mixed granite and natural rock and they will punch those wall segments and ignore the thinner walls or the gates.

Any tips on avoiding prison breaks? I have 3 jail cells that are just normal bedrooms with 2 single beds each. There was a jail break and all 6 prisoners got out at the same time and all 6 were quickly shot down or mauled by dogs. I really wish there was more of a recruitment system in the game. Make your town very nice and it attracts people.

(mostly just keep them happy) Larger rooms with light, heat, decoration and a floor helps. Them being happy also makes them easier to recruit. I used to have 10 prisoners at the same time. Now I barely reach 3 because they are so quick to recruit. Also set wardens with a high social skill.

My understanding is that all pawns (including animals) will ignore zone restrictions and Forbidden status if they're addicted to something (or they're on a binge break), so if you slipped up with your initial zoning they could just be falling off the wagon. Alternatively, you have beers in a general-use stockpile covered by the edge of your animal zone (this is almost always the case for me when I encounter this problem).

Booze gets a special stockpile and they are forbidden from going there, just like the hospital and kitchen. The restriction works for me.

I'm getting the game to stutter at fast speed all of a sudden around day 80. Nothing in particular I can tell is causing it. I have an eclipse event active, but that's about it.

I sent a caravan out to a nearby tribal settlement to wipe them out because I was sick of their raids, and after a short "fight", they bailed and it said the settlement was destroyed. So I claimed the buildings and started patching up, and then set to mining out the resources on the map. Like a day later, my settlers automatically reformed the caravan, without any of the poo poo I wanted to bring along, including food. Is there some way to make them like, not loving do that?

No, any time you attack a settlement it will reform the caravan a day later. Those maps are meant to be temporary.

So I haven't made a caravan yet, what's the point really? Raiding other camps? If you destroy them do you get less raids from them? Can you set half your fort off to start a new fort to strip mine an area and come back? Can you be managing like 10 forts at once?

Can you set half your fort off to start a new fort to strip mine an area and come back? Can you be managing like 10 forts at once? I think eventually something like that might be the plan. Right now every map you have active is 100% active in memory including all items, pawns, NPCs, animals, plants etc. and it chokes the gently caress out of the engine something fierce.

Can you set half your fort off to start a new fort to strip mine an area and come back? Can you be managing like 10 forts at once? One of the biggest things, at least imo, is the ability to send a caravan out to trade with other settlements. It helps to counter balance just how rare NPC caravans and orbital traders can be sometimes; there are a lot of important goods that you can never produce on map, and having those goods no longer be purely tied to however the storyteller is feeling helps a lot. A long term goal I usually set for myself if a colony is successful is to establish a trade outpost right next to an outlander settlement once transport pods are unlocked - permanent trader access is worth many times over the cost of making the outpost in the first place. I haven't really made use of the ability to attack other camps really. I've never reached the point where I've felt well armed enough to take one on, and I don't think the potential gain in resources would be worth the near inevitable losses. Edit: ^^^ Yeah a big drawback though is that if you want to establish more than one colony you need to have map size set to something reasonable. Every colony you make beyond your first will have a map the same size as the first one, so if it's set to one of the larger settings then you'll definitely start to have performance issues.

Riot Shields, my first mod. Like it says on the label, adds manufacturable riot shields which dramatically increase pawn survivability. Wanting to use High Caliber's ballistic shield, which wasn't updated for A16, I disassembled the mod's A15 code and re-built it into a somewhat more robust, stand-alone pawn shield mod. it should work in Vanilla or Combat Realism. Shields absorb all damage that would have gone through to the pawn. Block chance is a log function of the item's condition %, from 100% to block at 100% condition to 60% to block at 0% condition. Make your pawns much more resilient at the cost of a small work and move speed penalty and inability to use rifles. e: block chance function
