Yeah, quantity is more important than quality when it comes to fighting, in my experience. Past the very early game you're always fighting while dramatically outnumbered so volume of fire is generally more important than accuracy. Joe Sniper Elite who nails every single shot still can't kill more than two or three tribals before they close to melee and beat him to death if he's on his own. Even super elite power armor troops with charge weapons will get swamped and overwhelmed if they're badly outnumbered, since even power armor won't save you from a lucky couple shots to the head from some pirate's awful heavy SMG.

The best protection in combat seems to be a low pain threshold so people go down before they get hurt too badly. You can then tend to the wounded after the fight. In fact soldiers with high pain tolerance are a lot more likely to sustain permanent injuries or die because they absorb too many bullets before they go down.

It's fun watching a tribal raid all "hi ho!" and then a volley later 2/3 of them are dead and the rest are running away in panic with severe explosive damage to all limbs and a few hours left to live from bleeding. I always imagine them getting two map squares out before they all die.

Why do you even bother with armor then? Just get more conscripts, give them cheap rifles and no armor, and send them into battle. If W40K has taught as anything, it's that giving normal idiots any kind of useful equipment is a waste. My forces are usually a mix of of poor sods with awful guns backed up by a few super bionic soldiers in powerarmor, chewing through friends and enemies alike with miniguns and explosives.

Mainly because the armor is cheap and the armor +helmet icon helps me tell the difference between useful colonists (master doctor, cooks, craftsmen) and the regular people. My colony is split up between specific professionals and then general population. The military helmets helps tell them apart.

Any good 'armory' mods which will let you easily switch to a combat suit? Right now I'm using outfits but it's tedious to change everyone's outfit during a raid.

Doctors have separate double-bed sleeping quarters, As do the chefs, gardeners and craftsmen. Everyone else sleeps in the barracks. Unless a commoner is in a relationship with the skilled colonists. Then they can sleep in their quarters. When the colony is under attack the regular colonists grab a rifle and man the ramparts. The skilled gardeners, chefs and craftsmen man the artillery deep inside the base where they are safe, while the doctors are on standby to collect prisoners.

Unless you have an extremely old and established colony, even lovely low skill colonists are worth investing a little bit of material to keep alive with armor. The only time colonists are worthless is if they have traits that either actively harm your colony(pyromania) or refuse to do actual useful stuff.

I just got a late game raid from tribals and have decided to take a page from Deja's book. I'm harvesting from each of the 16 captures their noses, both ears, one kidney, one lung, and their jaw. Unfortunately they dislike this so I'll have to amputate their legs first. Edit: The Good Doctor is going to be high on wake-up the entire time he's doing this too. I actually named him "The Good Doctor." Before this latest venture capitalism. Edit: Ironically, I can't use Herbal medicine as I have already converted it all over to regular medicine. Good thing I got 258 of the things, since it takes 4 medicines to "install" and then remove a peg leg. Edit: Ran out of wood so we have to re-use the same peg legs. I wonder what the real world odds are that Edit: It's 110 Degrees Farenheit in these cubes. Edit: I just realized that so long as the heat doesn't KILL them, it's really just saving me time and trouble incapacitating them.

I did a super disgustingly sloppy hack job inside EPOE to create a replacement spine that just does nothing, for when I have enough weed that everyone can ride out the organ harvesting bonus without getting upset. Sometimes I feel like a jerk, but those kidneys are paying for the uranium to build nuclear reactors. Dagon doesn't care if his sacrifices are missing organs.

Repeatedly installing and removing peg legs until the subject expires is an excellent way to train your doctors. Especially if you have patients to spare

I've started playing this again with the Cult mod and while the ability to give pawns psychic powers and the psychopath trait is great how has nobody mentioned the Transmogrify Pets spell? It triples the size and thus health of any pet, so right now my main defence force is a pack of bear-sized huskies backed up by turrets. They're so tough I don't even need to worry about friendly fire from the turrets and since they have so much health they pretty much always go down to pain instead of dying. I even had one survive a sniper shot to the heart. Also I should probably start incapping my prisoners. Since I'm feeding them cosmic horror meat they keep going insane and breaking, and since high levels of insanity reduce pain they almost always either kill each other or die to my wardens.

Oh, right, I was hoping there was a mod for it or something  If you incapacitate your prisoners, the wardens will feed them with whatever they have on hand, since they can't get up and get the food themselves. Usually it's whatever the warden was carrying to eat later.

I usually find a choke point or two around my dwarf fort and fence in a gently caress-off huge area that I keep wild animals out of and just let all my animals eat free stuff. It's like alchemy, worthless grass that would do nothing for me gets turned into lavish food ingredients, or baby animals which also get turned into lavish food ingredients, and pack animals for caravans.

Haven't played this for awhile and just started again. The wiki says you can eat/cook fertilized and unfertilized eggs the same, but I can't get my cook to use eggs in any way. They're right nearby in the stockpile, unforbidden, but if eggs are the only unforbidden food he cannot cook a simple meal. Did the wiki like about fertilized eggs?

If you lose your spooky book you can send a colonist to investigate the monolith to get another one. They'll still suffer the usual big mood penalty and insanity bump though.

Just ran into a glitch, I tried to make a "sizable" offering of plants, and my colonists just got bored and ignored it. I'll click the "offering" button and they'll run over to the altar, pick up one of the potatoes already there, put it down, and then immediately walk away and do literally anything else. I've tried changing the colonist to make the offering, it just broke.

I had this sort of problem, it turned out I had some kind of glitched item invisible in my stockpile. Turn on dev mode, zoom in on your screen, and move the visible portion around (it should log an error log message when the glitched invisible thing is within your visible space) until you can narrow down where it is and delete it.

I basically never turn dev mode off anymore just because I want to know when mod stuff goes wrong. Speaking of stuff going wrong I just found out in a 3 year colony that Psychology breaks the Unspeakable Oath spell from the Cults mod. The spell specifically references the vanilla pawn type and since Psychology has its own pawn type when it actually tries to revive the pawn it just gives an error. RIP Minoru, preacher with 20 social and an advanced bionic jaw, your brain was too complex to be a zombie.

Is there anywhere that has more detailed information (a mini wiki perhaps) about the cults mod or EPOE? For example I just bought an aux AI but I'm missing parts to install it. Also an overview of the sacrifice spells would be cool. Just little questions.
