Some kind of vehicle should be added to the later end of research. It could use chemfuel, require a roof or garage when not in use, risk of breakdown after extended use. If you can build a ship to blast off the planet, a carriage should be manageable.

There should definitely be a vehicle progression. Start out with your hauling beasties as you have now, then travois and sleds, then drawn wagons, then powered stuff.

Look at this guy that doesn't drop pod in enough materials to drop pod back lmao Edit: Just thought of something interesting. Are raids tied to seasons in any way? like summer raids would be the most common because the weather is the best and you have the most food, but if you get raided in winter, the raiders would be more desperate and probably not flee after a few of them die. Maybe they'd be in worse shape too, with less gear and more ragged stuff. A Moose fucked around with this message at 16:14 on Jun 2, 2017 |

To that end I've never drop podded myself and I'm quivering about how the details works. Like Pod 101. Is it as easy as point and move?

Build a pod launcher (misc menu) and load it with some chemfuel. Once that's done, build a pod (misc menu) in its launch spot. Then select the pod and load an unlucky fellow, and pick what items they want. They will take a few minutes hauling the items to the pod. Once done, they will get in the pod and you will get a message saying launch is ready. Select the pod, click the launch icon, which will take you to the world screen. Then select the tile you want it to land. Keep in mind your range is limited.

No but if the outside temperature isn't survivable, raids won't come. So if you have an extremely cold outside temperature for example and even parkas won't protect against it, you won't generally get raided by humans.

Man, I got super lucky with a drop pod, which gave me an industrious + steadfast space miner. The dude is a beast. Also has the abrasive trait, but he spends all of his waking hours inside mining tunnels digging away by himself so he hasn't started a fight with anyone yet!

Despite being visually minimal, this game can sure get gristly when I accidentally shoot someone's jaw or head off. I'm excited to tech-up enough so I can turn my disfigured veterans into super soldiers, deus ex style.

If he causes a problem just set his schedule so he sleeps from morning to afternoon. Working third shift will mean his contact with others is minimal and it takes most of the sting out of abrasive, annoying voice, and other dumb poo poo that people throw fists over.

I think Green Thumb is probably one of the best traits a pawn can start with. One of my starting colonists had Green Thumb, Industrious, and Fast Walker with good mining, construction, growing and even a little cooking and he does basically everything all the time with a smile. I didn't even use any mods to get this guy, and with minimal re-rolling too. Almost makes up for the pacifist pyro I accidentally rescued from raiders...

I recently had an Ibex Doe join the colony. I have a poo poo load of hay stockpiled so I just put it in the Muffalo area. I checked the Ibex information to see if it could carry items in a caravan and saw that they're good at headbutting. So I trained it and let it follow my best hunter around. A while later, a poison ship landed and I sent this hunter and another guy out with sniper rifles. The ship had a Scyther and three centipedes. The Scyther started running at us, we got off a couple shots and took off at least one arm with the shots. The Ibex went straight for the Scyther and started head butting while my snipers fell back for more shots and we were only able to shoot one more time before the Ibex took the Scyther down. Now I just need a new rear leg for my Ibex.

I have a wake-up addicted warden that is constantly on the verge of a break unless I make him smoke a joint. However, every time he smokes a joint he loses consciousness. Am I stuck with this constant cycle of passing out until he recovers from his addiction?

Am I stuck with this constant cycle of passing out until he recovers from his addiction? He won't recover if you keep letting him smoke it. You need to keep him away from it and have him go into withdrawal. The problem is it takes forever to cure addictions like that, and they keep wrecking poo poo up until it happens. So it might be better to keep a regular supply and just let him have it.

Smoking weed is fine if he's sweating out wake-up, smokeleaf has a really low addictiveness, so you can probably have him off wake-up long before he gets addicted to smokeleaf. Also yeah he's pretty much useless until it's out of his system

The Psychology mod has a cheap drug, methadone, which is designed to help pawns get off addictions by negating the withdrawal mood hit so they don't go around smashing poo poo up. Unfortunately it's not updated for A17.

Mortars own now. I managed to cripple several raids and sieges thanks to the new accuracy buff. One thing I'd love is a "clear plants zone". It would be nice to be able to maintain fire breaks and/or clear zones where no cover can grow for raiders.

They doubly improved the Siegers because they also improved their target selection. They now are better about targeting your colonists specifically. They also fire faster, which helps both sides, all these things combined really make sieges much more dangerous imo. Flesh Forge posted:Floors work for that. OwlFancier posted:Yeah that's what concrete is for. For the firebreak it works, but for defenses I'd like to just be able to tell them always cut any plants in this zone.

Does anyone know which XML the "Pay X to request a caravan" is in? Because I think Tynan has over compensated a bit on the price increase and I'd love to reduce it a bit.
