Intense randy and The Mad Rabbits of Caerbannog is a fun combo! A 35 strong labrador manhunter pack just steamrolled through my base killing everyone since the thrumbo pack a few days before had taken out most of my turrets

Okay I had 44 colonists. They weren't happy but they were all obedient. I introduced them to social drugs which for a while kept them happy and obedient. Except the diseases just ravaged the whole place. liver, lung, cancers. Everyone was sick all the time. So I decided to wane my whole colony off the drugs. I first waned them off beer because smokeleaf helps them cope with that. Before drugs I had 44 obedient colonists. I started waning 44 sick colonists. After everyone was clean of alcohol dependence I had 28 colonists left. I then treated everyone to get rid of all forms of cancer. After that I had 27 colonists. I then started waning them off smokeleaf. When they were all clean I had 17 colonists left. Drugs are bad.

You could just use drugs as a mood safety net by scheduling them to only be used when mood hits a critical low point instead of being allowed at all times.

With a pretty base and efficient work priorities my colonists are pretty much always at max happiness. Half my base just got the plague though, but they'll be right. I had 3 of the shooty cutty robots get into my base via drop pods. A random artist pawn I had given a sword to seemingly one-shot one of them. Not even downed, full on dead. Good work drug addict who refuses to do anything but make statues. A couple dogs died and there was a lot of blood and injured people not getting treated fast enough but out of all of it I only got a single bad mood warning and it only stayed up for about 5 seconds before someone came over and gave them a fine meal and administered some smokeleaf. Giving people in a lot of pain laying in a hospital bed surrounded by blood smokeleaf seems to really chill them out.

After reading the colonists guide, I am having so much more fun playing now that I know what I'm doing. Previously, I didn't understand how zones and restrictions worked, as well as a bunch of other more complicated aspects of the game. I am having success with this colony after 2 years and no cheating (but a little save-scumming). For the last year or so, I've had this infestation in the upper-right corner of my map (and a newer one in the lower-left), but I've been ignoring it because my colonists don't go up there, and I don't yet have explosions. In the first screenshot, my entire colony/base is contained off screen to the south. Almost every raid has come from the west, gone north over the mountain then south down to my base. I have a choke point down there with traps and turrets and it's been going well. I've had a lot of "friendlies" show up and try to help with the bug problem, but they all get wasted instantly. I thought, "hmm, why not build a couple of walls to force raiders that come from the west to go north-east, right into the fuckin bugs?! As you can see, it's working like a charm.  a close up

if they're outside of his base there's no reason for him to engage them. bugs are territorial, not aggressive.

Over There posted:Where is this colonist guide? http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=813720217 Yeah, like I said I haven't had explosives so I just kinda let them fester. They are VERY good at killing any hostile humans that wander near. Traders too though... luckily I got a comms console up early enough that I can just space trade.

I'd always just cook em. But yours seem to have dug them selves out into the outdoors so that might not work since you can't get in there a roof it over.

Explosives aren't a super good anti bug weapon tbh. Fire works in enclosed spaces and otherwise you just want overwhelming gunnery.

I might deal with them eventually. It's funny though I get a ton of "roof collapsed" notices as they tear up the mountains. The 2nd infestation is almost as big as the first now.

I think infestations would be much improved if they didn't just dig everything out and instead tried to dig out like some kind of pregenerated ant colony style tunnel network.

Yes, and if they didn't just randomly spawn but actually dug in from the sides of any map edge with mountain. So you'd accidentally mine into their tunnels, or them into yours.

Is there no existing combat mod that just tightens up weapons a bit? The whole "combat realism" mod got bloated then the author drama'd out. I just want the weapons to have slightly more believable accuracy.

Personally I'm all for ammo. And I wish colonists could carry grenades as side arms. But this all assumes that they restock themselves and I just need to keep the armory full.

I wish the game had somehow warned me that someone who doesn't like drugs and someone who does would inherently dislike each other. There are no drugs in the colony to crave or reject! Christ, I just want normal, functioning people who don't get pissed at each other. Yet more traits to avoid when rerolling. MisterBibs fucked around with this message at 05:08 on Feb 4, 2017 |

Even if you don't exactly specify everything about them, you can still roll randoms and selectively change the one 'critical flaw' about them like drug-loving or w/e.

I don't know, people who have never seen guns handled before. But you're in luck, this game is easy af to mod, and 800 subscribers in six days has inspired me to expand the scope of my riot shield mod a little bit. Give it a couple weeks, but think big, swinging, Dirty Harry-style .44 magnums. But, to keep it balanced, you might have to add aloha snackbar raids with AK-47s and 72 virgins vests.

I wish Tynan would frontload some of the difficulty of the game in combat or balance the game in way where traits and surgery weren't the most difficult parts of the experience. Right now my base is basically an impenetrable fortress but god help me if someone with the Pyromania trait goes nuts while everyone is sleeping. It'd be nice to reach a level where I can leave the game on for an hour and I wouldn't have to worry about my colonists killing themselves for no reason despite being 100% happy previously.

There's all kinds of good recommendations for quality of life mods and stuff, but are there any other good mods that really mix up gameplay? Preferably in some weird way like the cult mod. Like bug taming. Or mechanoid taming. Wanna make tame bug/mechanoid fighting pits. It looks like there's some magic mod but it's just focused on combat which is kind of lame.

Is there somewhere I can find some easy-to-implement, quick and dirty colony designs? I'm not a huge fan of the base planning part of the game, but I tend to get pretty hung up on it and then demotivated whenever I start a new colony. I don't really enjoy the designing that much, but I'm too much of a perfectionist to just go "gently caress it" and build as the need arises.
