My people always die at about 95% immunity, the malaria just always seems a couple percent ahead of them. Malaria seems devastating currently, I've not had quite as bad an experience as you but probably 70% of my pawns who get it have died since A16 arrived. The only thing that's been effective at saving anyone has been forcing bed rest at all times, they don't even get up to eat.

Teikanmi posted: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. That is neat. I wanted to have as many people as possible on crafting because there's so much crafting to do and I figured they would just get better at it over time. Mine looks like this:  On another note I had another infestation today. Infestations being my biggest problem but I handled this one pretty well. I burned every room to the ground that had aliens in it. I hid all the colonists in the deep freezer that was "only" 21 degrees celc while the whole facility had an average of 81 while the infested rooms burned. I think I'll advance on this strategy and split the base into sections that can be burned when required. As in the sleeping quarters split into three burn sections. Stockpile into four. Hospital and prison as one.

Penoxycyline works great against malaria. It used to be preventative but now it gives 61% immunity.

I'm pretty sure all of your problems are because you're not using manual priorities. Using basic check/no check is what newbies do, bruh. There's even yellow boxes to help you make sure you have your best on their main tasks.

The moment people get malaria I order them to eat the drugs and rest until healed. A couple 10+ skill doctors will administer standard medicine to them without delay, and other people feed them lovely fine meals. The medical room is full of excellent sculptures and patients seem happy. Every time riiiight before they get to 100% immunity they almost all die. When I edit the save before they die I always see the same thing: immunity is at like 92% and disease progress at 94%. I've added a few mods that claim to not need a new save, who knows maybe something messed something up. Oh also the climate I'm playing on gets a lot of snow during the winter, I thought malaria isn't so common in such climates?? Yet I get an outbreak at least every year.

It's daunting at first but you'll figure it out in no time and it's not really a negotiation aspect of running a successful colony.

You're also going to have people with like, 0 crafting skill trying to make power armor and wasting your resources by making awful stuff all the time, and people loving up construction. Seriously it pains me to look at that many colonists without manual priorities. Yeesh.

Nobody is hauling anything because everyone has a different job that's higher priority than hauling. You have to specialize. Not using priorities is a "monkey on a typewriter" kind of approach, stuff will get done if you wait long enough but you could do it in a fraction of the time if you just set each pawn to do one, maybe two jobs.

Right taking it above 61% does nothing. The player needs to pause the game. Send all patients to bed and then pause again and set them all to get the meds.

Actually Dejawesp has enough colonists there that he can get by without manual priorities because he could literally have everyone assigned to one or two jobs and everything would still be covered. Still vastly less efficient though, and getting to this point must have been grueling as hell, I'm kind of impressed you stuck with it actually

Those five white lines are my amazonian super soldiers (started out as six) that gave me the edge I needed to get anywhere. So far I have only tried playing on "some challenge Randy" and the game has been kicking my rear end over and over  I don't want to use Phoebe or Cassandra because it said those are worse mid to late game. I also try to keep around 20 wolves/bears and they do a lot of hauling too.

Mine looks like this: For many skills, the skill level affects both the quality of the output and the speed at which it is produced. Which means your low skill, no passion pawns will hog tons of time on the bench while being very very slow to get better and producing crap output, and your uber master pawns will be twiddling their thumbs or doing stuff they suck at. Work types where pawn skill is particularly important:

The scenario editor is cool. I can have my tribal start but with a bit more tech so the early tech grind isn't so bad. We're a medieval tribe settling new land, got all the basics before electricity. Oh cool I spent forever rolling up my colonists and my highest research skill is 1. Guess I'm restarting  Sometimes I wish it was just a point buy system because rolling a million times isn't so fun.Oh also my first immigrant was abrasive and addicted to luciferium, then my next was someone chased by bandits who turned out to be a jealous pyromaniac woman hater. Not too upset about restarting.

First volcanic winter. Stocked up on parkas and expected snow and hellish cold temperatures. +20 in the day and +3 at at night. And this was in winter too.... weak.

Volcanic winter isn't much colder than the base winter of whatever biome you're in, the real downside is the sun is filtered, so solar panels provide less power and plants grow slower (unless lit by a sun lamp).

This is basically what the conditions in the ice sheet biome are like 100% of the time, so you can start a colony there if you want to experience this. You can modify your start to give you parkas if you want a less lethal go of it, although there ARE people who do ice sheet unmodified tribal starts. Fun fact: geothermal vents are a heat source if you enclose them inside, no matter whether they have a generator on them or not. They're a pretty good starting point for an ice sheet base.

I'm looking to put a bionic arm on my best melee fighter. Does it matter which arm I replace? I don't want to replace his left arm if he swings with his right or whatever.

they swing with both so you will need to replace both, also if you give them a weapon of any kind they will use that weapon instead of their fists what i'm saying is, just give them a superior plasteel knife or broadsword, it'll be easier and more effective

Oddly enough, it's ranged fighters that benefit from bionic arms, since ranged weapon accuracy benefits from the improved Manipulation. Assuming the wiki is accurate, melee accuracy only benefits from Consciousness and Sight stats, so you want bionic eyes on your melee guys. Melee damage and speed is entirely determined by the weapon, and the basic fact is that while bionic arm punching is better than basic human punching, it's way worse than giving your guy a plasteel longsword. If a guy has one bionic arm and no melee weapon he will punch with it 50% of the time, no matter which arm it is. If he has a melee weapon he will always use that.

You can usually just right click a job with the pawn selected and select the menu option to force it. Just be aware that the manual forcing can be infuriatingly temporary, so your pawn will get halfway through mining that wall, then bail to go carve a sculpture or something. This leads to an unfortunate amount of babysitting your workers. Good gravy am I glad that manually forced cleaning now works for an area instead of one tile at a time. Look at manual priorities too, that might be closer to what you want.

quote:A bionic arm's strength gives its bearer a melee attack of 9 damage when an attack uses that arm, compared to 5 damage from a natural arm. This doesn't mean that it adds the damage to attacks using that arm, as in swinging swords? It means attacks USING that arm, like punches only?

Just had a thrumbo randomly self tame really early into this current game. I thought, sweet that will really help with fending off raiders until I get some turrets up. I was immediately hit with a raid of only 3 dudes. They started attacking the thrumbo first and I assumed I wouldn't even need my colonists drafted, even though I didn't get a chance to train the beast. Well the thrumbo hosed up the first raider real good, then proceeded to munch some grass while the other 2 raiders used him for target practice. I got my colonists to help kill the raiders but my thrumbo was bleeding out then developed an infection. A colonist patched it up literally 1hr before it would have bled out. As it was recuperating it died from the infection... I was very disappointed but cant complain I got free thrumbo meat/fur/horn.
