Jose posted:So I just bought this and double clicking to select all of stuff isn't working. Is there an easy fix? you can only double click to select similar items, for example if you are double clicking on the supplies that scatter as you land, it'll only select matching items. it can also be janky if there is more than one thing in a spot. pause the game at the beginning and select the whole screen, then press F to un-forbid everything at once, if you want

There's also a mod that adds an "allow all" tool, which is nice.

Is it just me or are mortars insanely good. Step 1: Build N-2 mortars, where N is the number of colonists you have Step 2: Build an assload of mortar shells and have a roofed mortar shell stockpile right next to your mortars Step 3: Turn Hold Fire on Step 4: During peace time, Man all of the mortars (so that they are loaded), then go back to doing whatever Step 5: Once you get a raid or siege or ship or ???, man all the mortars again (already loaded) and hit pause Step 6: Target all mortars to the same spot and then turn Hold Fire off. Step 7: Unpause and watch the show. Because of the natural spread of mortar shells, targeting the same spot will put a pretty even distribution of fire when you launch all mortars at the same time. Throw in some incendiary in there as well, and one or two volleys will do some pretty significant damage. The 2 people left from "N-2" are people you send out to either distract and keep them in place or to chase them down when their will has been broken.

My original colony is squaring off against groups of 100+ pirates at this point, so artillery is a must have. It's also amazing for tribals and manhunter packs if you can manage it right. Any "prepare for a while" event is perfect mortar fodder.

Yeah mortars are great, but they only help in some situations and shells are a pain to make since it is just one at a time. They would be the MVP of my current colony if not for the hero EMP grenades that some pirate dropped which has killed so many mechs.

You can always set up a bill to maintain a certain amount of them, or just trade for them. It's about the only thing weapon merchants are good for once you have a good crafter.

I just set up the crafting station for mortars the same way that I set up my stove: a 1 square tile of chemfuel (critical) and 1 square tile of steel (critical) on either side of the chair. I got some hauling bitches that keep it fully stocked, and with the craft order to "drop on ground", you can pump them out pretty quickly. Edit: Also, if you build a stool on top of the storage zone, the items actually go on the stool and makes your pawn not even have to turn to pick the items up. Saves a serious amount of time.

Or, better yet, janitor robots. Had a refugee event last night. The raid that followed was about twenty dudes, many in power armor. Of course this happened when my main fighting force is off cleansing a raider outpost in our drop ship. No big deal, I thought. I still have ten or twelve people who can run the mortars, some of which are properly equipped soldier types. We get down to the business of shelling the gently caress out of these assholes, but they branch off into two groups to go around a stone outcropping so the mortars aren't as effective as I'd like. They make it to the outer defensive line that I just finished building after the last psychic ship crashed a few months back: a plasteel Vulcan, and two shredder turrets for anyone who gets too close. Some of the attackers are melee, and there's enough of them that they make it to the base of the Vulcan under the hail of shredder fire. The turrets are still mulching them pretty good, but then I hear the mortars go off again. gently caress. The shelling didn't kill the Vulcan, which is testament to it's longevity, but it hurt it enough that the guys plinking away from the bushes were able to set it off. We still won eventually, a few more salvos of artillery broke the attacker's will, no one on my side got hurt, but we lost a lot of plasteel. I think next time I'll do two regular steel Vulcans separated, but close enough that they can cover each other. Probably should stop accepting refugee's calls for help, but that seems mean spirited.

Slung Blade posted:Or, better yet, janitor robots. If you've got the juice, Expanded Development has large shields you can put your vulcan cannons behind. Just be warned that they're power hungry, and if they're too close together, your vulcans might end up shooting into each other's shields instead of at the bad dudes. Speaking of Expanded Development, Embrasures whips rear end for early defenses, and also Laserdrill lets you create and remove steam geysers. My modding philosophy is "overpowered but expensive"

I WOULD like for "Jerry 'Fireman' Stevens would like to join your colony after your help. Would you like to let him stay, or send him on his way?" to be a dialog that appears, so that you can do refugee events and feel good about yourself without taking on the obligation of caring about them. That said, I did just bring on a mostly useless Sheriff with cataracts, who I gave a robot body, eyes, and power armor to because he had a 16 double flame in shooting.

cryptosleep works for that and if you have an ancient danger on your map you have a very good chance of having access to a couple caskets for free once you can handle a couple mechanoids. which is to say, about a month after you get gun turrets (one of the earliest research priorities). its not exactly the same thing but it keeps these parasites from being a drag on your daily workings.

Basically just build a little prison cell outside your walls, prop the door open, and arrest the colonist you want to exile. They'll get put in the open cell, and they'll immediately "escape" and just run off the map and out of your life forever. If you want to arrest someone without having to get in a fist fight, you can anesthetize them from the medical tab and arrest them while they're unconscious. They'll escape as soon as they wake up.

You should probably lighten their load with surgery anyway so they don't have those extra organs weighing them down.

Being from the democratic people's republic of California, I always insist on growing copious amounts of smokeweed and yayo. It is a highly effective method of chillin' out, dude. Or getting Amped As gently caress. Depending on the situation, of course. I should probably start offloading portions of each, though. I don't think all the addictions and tolerance in the world could make me blow through my 2k of each in any reasonable amount of time.

Jose posted:is there supposed to be a fuel powered smelter? Not that I know of. But that would be a cool idea for an add on if baseline smelting was worth the effort for the steel you get out of the labour you put into it. I find it's only really good for cleaning up your home map, hardly worth the time to haul it in and turn into a whopping ten steel per line of scrap.
