A tornado hit this giant shrine that I'd been leaving alone and I started hearing a lot of banging and chittering noises and ... finally one of the walls broke open and there was this: Well, thanks for taking care of the centipedes random space sleeping guys sorry you got owned  Apparently the tornado deconstructed one or more of the sleep pods and they all popped open, and the spacer guys were pretty quick on the uptake?

What's all those red blobs over in the stockroom there? Is that just devilstrand with a different appearance for some reason?

Basically small, semi-preserved meals. They don't last that long and don't give a great amount of nutrition nor are they very efficient to produce compared to meals but they can be made with basic tech and some fruit. Better than letting it rot.

Yeah I'm just now getting all the amenities in, like refrigeration, so that was the alternative to letting it rot/have no travel food

Oh ok, thanks. There was a bunch of red clothing around so I assumed they were related. Yeah in a tribal start luxuries like freezers are secondary to having a dang weapon to defend yourself.

Speaking of tornadoes -- i just had one touch down on my dormitory in the middle of the night, then proceed to sweep in a perfect line across my whole base. Four serious injuries, though nobody died, but good grief that sucked.

 So this infestion got completely out of control because half my colony was down with a variety of diseases while a bunch of others were out on caravan. The bugs keep digging and as soon as the roof collapses they freak out and storm my base. Any ideas on how to deal with em?

Oof, I'd probably try to triple door it, put some wood down in the southeast while they sleep, and burn them out. Not 100% though with that size room and a limited amount of area you could build.

Seal 'em off then put a fuckton of campfires in there? That might raise the temperature enough to hurt them. Every infestation I have dies to the -25 centigrade temperatures every winter so...yeah. I haven't had to deal with them on my current colony.

Campfires won't make it hot enough to bother them because they have some kind of cap, but igniting wooden constructions is another matter. If you have chemfuel you can get that to blow up with ranged damage, similar to how turrets do.

Make a tunnel from the bug cave into a big room with wooden floors, fill it with chemfuel and grenades, give all your colonists incendiary launchers, kite the bugs in, then light them up. I have no idea if this would work but if you're going down you might as well do it in a blaze of fiery glory

Wooden floors don't burn, I usually pop a few random beds or some cheapo wooden furniture. Combined with a few piles of chemfuel you can get a decent fire going and burn 'em out that way. Alternatively, build a row of heaters just inside the cave, add an extra stone wall to insulate your base a bit and then crank up the heaters to 200 degrees. That's how I usually deal with cave infestations but they might have tunneled out too far and made their cave too large for this to be really effective.

I have dealt with that exact situation before by building a huge room full of wooden beds near the tunnels, carefully digging a tunnel from the bed room into the bug room, and then throwing a Molotov onto one of the beds. I think with just 20 or so beds the temperatures got to like a thousand degrees in the cave. The air itself started to glow. It didn't just kill the bugs, it made them all spontaneously combust and burn away into nothing, so I didn't even get any free kibble meat out of it.

Just make sure you have enough doors to keep them contained. Bugs will go absolutely mad and blow their way through any man made barricade pretty quickfast. No table is turned faster than igniting a room to 500c just moments before the bugs pop the door and flood your base with heat. Infestations have to be one of the weakest features in Rimworld.

Yeah they were changed to path to the colonists once they start taking damage, which is why i suggested triple stone doors. I've had them bust through single and came close to busting down a 2nd one.

You can plan your base around that and probably should anyway honestly because a zzzt can start fires in your base. Best advice I've got is be able to vent your base. Also for both combat and temperature control reasons I recommend building large interconnected corridors and branching rooms off those, the corridors vent heat well and the rooms should stair fairly isolated.

My general philosophy ever since my first ice sheet mountain base was gutted by a zzzt event in a hydroponics bay has been firefoam poppers and building my bases around a primary artery that can be vented quickly to external temps by nuking a primary doorway. Because you never know. On a side note building batteries in banks connected by switches can be a nice way of minimizing zzzt impacts in addition to having backup energy quickly on hand should you experience one.

I think batteries slowly drain power now, there's a "self discharging; 5w/d" tag on all of them. Which is why I finally said gently caress it and just got the fuses mod. Building off-line banks and switching them for emergencies was annoying enough to start with.

The Zzzzt event is extremely annoying and one of those events which I feel frustrates suspension of disbelief when I'm running around building power armor and spaceships but can't figure out wiring.

Devilstrand and hyperweave war veils are better than advanced helmets it seems. They protect eyes and neck - all the areas that a power armor helmet does.

I swear I read in the update notes you could make neutroamine from chemfuel and herbal medicine. Just built a drug lab and I can't find it, and now I can't even find it in the patch notes. Have I gone stupid?

Ok so no matter what I did I couldn't light their area on fire without everything getting out of hand, so what I needed up doing was luring them into battle. Here is what happened: DAY ONE Pissed them off and left a door open so they'd funnel into the front of my base where I had the best defenses. When they got close enough for me to see the black of their dead eyes I called down my ORBITAL LASER BEAM on the horde.  Most of the survivors were dispatched as they assaulted my defenses. With the coast clear I sent in the clean-up crew.  Felt very much like Aliens during this part. Everything was going well when - oh gently caress the second hive activated!  Oh gently caress they're in the perimeter! BURN IT ALL!  Oops, the friendly trade caravan outside didn't survive long.  DAY TWO The hive hunkered down to sleep for the night and I took the opportunity to seal gaps in my defenses and patch up my wounds. With all my turrets destroyed and a bunch of my colonists injured I knew I wasn't strong enough to fight off the second hive alone. I decided to call in the cavalry.  The three pronged friendly attack didn't go super well.   BUT, they spread the bugs out and distracted them and I shot most of them dead during the struggle. The bugs mounted a final assault on my freezer, busting through the cooler and forcing me to fight them at point blank range.  DAY THREE At this point the all the original bugs had been killed, but a new wave spawned in the hives but were not yet hostile. Summoning every colonist who could carry a weapon I took the fight to them.  Slaughtering the surviving bugs in their hive. Victory at last. AFTERMATH Southwest ramparts:  Southeast ramparts:  Eastern bunker:  Only one colonist death. Tons of property damage, though. Overall I consider it a success.
