Wait wait wait. You mean I can't make extra colonies at other squares on the world map? I assumed that colony 1 would freeze as I went to play with for example colony 2. That I could build a fort at a nearby area to mine for resources and then send those back home. Switch between maps as I pleased.

I just had a refugee arrive that was addicted to Luciferium. Funny he failed to mention that when he came screaming for his life, chased by raiders. Talk about setting me up for a mood hit. It seemed only right that I took a kidney, lung and then sold him into slavery. He owed me.  Poor Andy hasn't been the same since his accident. And on top of having 60% in everything useful. He's also a slowpoke. He's basically furniture that eats, has breakdowns and hits on my lesbian bionic super soldiers. I think he's due for an organ donation and sale into slavery.

Hey now Andy has had plenty of chances to shape up and become a contributing member of society. I kid you not. Right after I made that post:  Of course she rejected you Andy. You're a 40 year old cripple and your highest stat is level 9 construction. Izolda is a 26 year old level 14 Doctor who has probably killed a hundred raiders and held the line through three infestations, sacrificing an eye and a leg in service to the colony. She is a loving war hero, and you are dog food if you cause any damage during this impotent rampage. Edit:  Surgery time. I think I'll have Izolda do the deed.

Of note, Psychology makes it so that pawns learn each other's sexuality after attempting to romance them, and will rarely try to romance again someone they know to have an incompatible sexuality.

She doesn't actually have the "Gay" stat. She rejected him because he's a useless loser. Not because she has the gay. The psychology mod looks interesting but it feels a bit heavy for me. I have enough to do at the moment.

It looks like a lot of stuff. And the whole mayor thing on top. Meanwhile Andy caught malaria while in jail and I even gave him some Penoxycyline. But do I get any thanks? Of course not. Instead he goes berserk. I'm considering taking his peg leg so he stays in bed. Will that affect his value to slavers? Can you even sell someone who can't walk? How fast do people wear out these armored vests just from wearing them? I'm feeling like all I do is build armored vests and it's a huge sink for valuable components.

I don't know what's wrong with my colony now. Moods are okay. No raid for days but people are just mismanaging everything. There's clothes at the crematorium that has been laying there for a week without being burned. A corpse at the entrance became a skeleton. Crops are harvested but left out. I haven't given any orders to do much of anything lately but people seem super busy just doing gently caress all. Busy busy busy but nothing is being done. Busy busy making components but the total just goes down. Busy busy making rifles but no rifles are being finished. The machine shop has 11 unfinished items laying around and people start new ones. I sent people to chop wood an in game week ago but the wood is just laying out without being hauled. No one is cleaning either. Dejawesp fucked around with this message at 14:51 on Jan 29, 2017 |

The 6 thermo generators are breaking even with the base power need. I wanted to expand into hydroponics but I'll need more power. Seriously. 27 colonists and the rate they wear out armored vests from passive use is killing my steel and components supply. The build time of the vests and components is also taxing labor.

more fun yesterday: i somehow had a loving thrumbo self tame and went to the wiki looking for stuff on that. i normally ignore thrumbos so this was the first time I had anything to do with them. the wiki basically says "I have no idea why you'd tame this but if you do he will kill poo poo with a quickness in melee" so I put the guy on a pasture grassy knoll outside he base and basically figured anyone who attacks him deserves what he gets holy poo poo do they get a lot

I do spend a lot of steel on maintaining that level of readiness for sure, but with deep drilling and two component tables its attainable. Just gotta keep that steel flowing. I also keep ~6 sets of power armor ready to go, I only have them wear the power armor when I really need it. I'm trying to get to the point that I've got 2-4 colonists in power armor all the time for fast response. I have my second colony to worry about, in case they come under serious attack I load up 4-6 colonists in power armor and transport pod them to the battle field. My second colony is at the limit of the transport pod range.

What file do I need to edit to make breakdowns less common? I understand the idea of having component-based technology need spare parts, but the rate you bleed components is ridiculous. Also now that unpowered hydroponics nearly instantly kill all plants, it means solar flares kill all your hydro-crops. Since I generally get a solar flare at least once a year, and cold snaps or just plain old winter kills everything outdoors, it's made it pretty much impossible to grow devilstrand. I think i'm going to start a new fort because that psychology mod only applies to new colonists and from the sound of it gets rid of the game's weird borderline mra/incel romantic relationship poo poo where all your dudes will be constantly angry at being rebuffed by fee-males. I'd love a way to stop fights too. Fights should be a result of a poorly managed colony. So often I wish I had a dwarf fortress style "hammerer" to hammer the poo poo out of idiot colonists picking fights. drat colony almost got wiped out because my 2 best shooters got into a fight, put each other in hospital with serious injuries and a lost eye, and moments later about 20 tribals attacked our for of about 7. gently caress you fighting is illegal I will have rule of law in my colony.

Dejawesp posted:Equipping guns just makes them keep the shield but complain about it. I set everyone as "soldier" Pawns won't auto-unequip shields when they have guns, you have to manually tell them to drop it (hit the down arrow icon on the equipment screen). Once they have a gun equipped, they'll never autonomously equip a shield. Baronjutter posted:Almost every animal I have, from self tamed squirrels to dogs all have alcohol tolerance extreme and they're drunk all the time. They all leave their designated areas to binge drink. Is this... normal? Animals consider beer to be a food of last resort. But animals also don't look all that far for food, so it's easy for them to think beer is the only thing around that they can eat and then go for it. Always make sure you have kibble/whatever you want your animals to eat near your beer stockpiles. Dejawesp posted:I don't know what's wrong with my colony now. Moods are okay.

I try to always have a third to a half of my pawns with hauling or cleaning as their top priorities. Lots of unfinished things means they're fighting over crafting benches. Try to have fewer active jobs on each crafting bench, ideally just one; then once a pawn starts working at that bench no one else will take jobs on it and it will always be available for that pawn to resume. And for things that have a quality, make sure you're not letting low skill pawns work them.

Once they have a gun equipped, they'll never autonomously equip a shield. Yeah you're right. They'll start by complaining that they have no gun. Then you give them a gun and they complain about having a shield. So I take off the shield and it becomes auto-forbidden on the floor so I have to un-forbid it to get it to the stockpile.

Check Eugene, Darius and Suppy's work priorities. They might be starting stuff but too low skill to finish anything, and then their rank 1 priority comes up (farming or constructing or something) and they never go back. This is why you should have one dedicated crafter. For instance, this is how I have my priorities set up.

Three new early beta mods. All are built to give you more map freedom. "Early beta" means that final balance and production art are still to come... Chemfuel Generator: Attaches a new chemfuel generator to the Refining technology; it burns chemfuel about 150% as fast as the fueled generator burns wood, and generates 7200w, twice what a geothermal generator produces. Intended to replace geothermal as your primary power source. Stone Equalizer: All stone types are statistically equal - no more clicking around the map for "granite and". Stone walls rebalanced to 700 HP, doors to 500. Soil Tiller: After researching Hydroponics, create Tilled Soil under Floors. It has 185% fertility, reducing a colony's need for rich soil. I'd like to make the colonist re-plow the earth each time the crop is harvested, but that is a substantial amount of code to design and write later. ... and Riot Shield, which is a touch closer to "production-ready". straw man fucked around with this message at 22:28 on Jan 29, 2017 |

So even with a skilled doctor, a very nice medical room, and proper medicine, malaria still seems to be a 100% death sentence for my people. The anti-malaria drug seems to do nothing since it's preventative. I keep having to save, edit my save file to increase immunity by 20% or so, and then they have a chance to survive. My people always die at about 95% immunity, the malaria just always seems a couple percent ahead of them.
