Hieronymous Alloy posted:Oh god. I need help I'll try to think of some things tomorrow that I can suggest for additions/things that have changed. But I just want to say I really appreciated this guide back when it was current. While my current game is using a defensive entry area with bunker setup, the internals of my base are still somewhat set up like the "urban warfare" idea you had, and boy did it come in handy tonight when some mechanoids drop podded right into the middle of my warehouse expansion project!

Coolguye posted:Even if you are playing vanilla you can just drop a sleeping spot under an injured pawn and mark it as medical to treat them on the spot. Is there any way to get pawns to carry around medicine like when they're in a caravan? Or do you just throw down the spot and have your doctor/medic treat them with no medicine? Colony continues to go well. Though frustratingly my only good miner is over 70 and became frail on her birthday. She now moves so slow I've basically restricted her to tasks inside the base only. Not much I can do about that I think.  New armoury setup works a lot better, at least if there is time for everyone to suit up. But if there isn't time to suit up, there wasn't really gonna be time to do that at the defensive positions either. The defensive positions mod is really useful for being able to have everyone draft and head to grab their armor with one click.  Can you drop pod straight into a mission site? I had an event tell me there is a Legendary Shield Belt (!) up for grabs some distance from my base, but it has become fall, so shits already getting cold and slowing travel (its a slightly cold planet and I'm on Boreal climate), so I figure I'd just drop a combat team in then pod in what they'll need to come back or at least supplies for a caravan back.

As far as power goes I would suggest wind/solar is actually quite viable. Particularly because you don't actually need to run things during the night most of the time. The only thing that really needs to run during the night is hydroponics beds. Otherwise, just build a lot of solar panels and everything will turn on during the day even without batteries. You especially want to use them for load balancing your grow lamps.

Demon_Corsair posted:I have always struggled with hauling especially in the early game. Everyone has priority stuff to work on, so I tend to just abuse the haul urgently action when I need something moved. I had two packs of dogs randomly join me early on. Once they were trained, they were on hauling duty and burial detail.

Galaga Galaxian posted:Wow, I just loaded my save for the day and noticed one of my colonists has a shattered Pelvis, I don't remember him picking that up, but loading back the oldest of my rolling saves, ten days back, he has it even then. And nothing in his personal log that indicates when he got it. I had a similar problem. Loaded the game and both legs were gone, then my colonist collapsed a few moments later. It was a naked brutality start so that run was over. Unfortunately I've been getting a weird bug after 5 days where my pawn tries hauling something unknown and just stands still. Haven't been able to figure out what mod is doing it. Unfortunately the bug only manifests after a week or so of game time, so really hard to diagnose.

Look at the temperature, everyone died before they even got to my base  Those super cold maps are neat but the main challenge is getting a sustainable food and heat setup, once you have that you basically just dash out and grab the corpses from time to time.

Put the game on Randy Rough. So far I got one colonist dead because I missed out on healing them in time with a few folks down, two that nearly died of infections/surgery complications, and one messed up colony. loving chinchillas lol, I slacked on the perimeter wall and paid for it.

So far I got one colonist dead because I missed out on healing them in time with a few folks down, two that nearly died of infections/surgery complications, and one messed up colony. loving chinchillas lol, I slacked on the perimeter wall and paid for it. Today was my first time doing on Randy Rough after playing for the first two seasons on Medium to get my feet under me. It's, uh. Wow. Here are my first few days: Midnight: cargo pods full of wort drop on literally the exact opposite corner of the map. At first light my hunter and her apprentice trek across the boreal forest, and a grizzly aggros them. Yep, should have seen that coming. Extended kiting battle toward the pods finally drops it - just in time for another grizzly to come charging out of the forest. Frantic micro ensues, the drat thing finally dies, we retrieve our precious wort, and start to hike back to base, exhausted. Before they can even get there, Randy decides it's time for  manhunter pack! ... of dromedaries. In the boreal forest. Okay, sure, gently caress it we don't have time to think about this, run for the base. We get inside, slam the doors, heave a sigh of relief, and go back to butchering and making statues and nope it's pirate raid time motherfuckers! And because I am bad I didn't realize that there was a point on the map where raids could spawn which could bypass my defenses, so they just waltz right into the courtyard of my base and start shooting up the joint. My three Shooting-capable colonists scramble for defensive positions and start taking pot-shots with a rifle and a couple of lovely pistols, but there's too many pirates and we're only wounding them, not scoring kills, and we're taking shots ourselves. Soon they force us back into the base proper, where one fighter is immediately tended and put into bed while the pirates start dismantling all my generators. The construction and mining colonists scurry around inside the compound, tearing out portions of my base's walls to install new doors to snipe from, and even mining out part of the mountain for the same purpose. No luck - the wind turbine goes up in flames, and the fire cuts the power to the compound. I withdraw to consider new tactics, and hope the pirates don't decide to set fire to the wooden parts of the base I hadn't managed to replace yet. A few moments later I scroll back to the courtyard to watch for fires, and see two pirates down on the blood-soaked earth, and the remaining three running for their loving lives from manhunter camels. The two remaining Shooting pawns jump out from the base and open fire, dropping the last two pirates, but one of my guys takes a lung shot in return, and we fall back behind the doors. We are now besieged by camels. A full day goes by. The hunter's apprentice, just a kid with Shooting 3, is sent out to make a mad dash for a Good-quality rifle left behind by one of the pirates, and spends the rest of the day popping out of various doors shooting at camels, putting out the eye of one but not quite managing to lift the siege. Finally, the hunter gets back up and I'm thinking maybe we can focus-fire these things down one at a time. Alternatively, raid. Tribals coming up the same riverway the pirates used, not knowing that Satan's Dromedaries have laid claim to my base. The hellcamels rush out to attack, I fling open my doors, and soon it's a threeway battle of tribal warriors with melee weapons and bows fighting rabid camels in chest-deep water while getting sniped by my guys on the bank until at last the river is choked with the corpses of men and dromedaries, and only my colonists remain. Game is real good, folks.

Synthbuttrange posted:Not even a single vat grown sex slave, shameful It does add a computer your pawns can use to browse porn. I assume that's how the commonfolk spent most of their time back in the middle ages. It also adds the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, with the entire bit from the movie copy-pasted into the description. The factions are actually pretty neat conceptually, but they're wildly imbalanced now that melee is super-lethal instead of a hilarious joke. They send 2-3 times the number of guys other factions do, they're armed to the teeth with melee weapons and shield belts, and they don't break and run ever. You're almost guaranteed to lose a guy or two every raid.

It used to be a fun way to bulk out the medieval tech era if you wanted to deliberately play a low tech game since it adds a ton of variety to a part of the game that is almost completely barren, but as they've bulked it out with more and more poo poo like weapon nanites and crap it's gotten very bloated and most of the poo poo that has gone in is garbage. Like a mod that adds the ability to boiling oil guys as they storm your walls or shoot ballistas at an invading wave while your halberdiers prepare to hold the breach is rad as gently caress. All the other poo poo not so much.

Rainbeau's Fertile Fields mod adds an item called Rotted Mush, left over when food of various sorts rots, so you can do something with it (make compost/make fertilizer) rather than just have it go poof. The thing is, animals find it super delicious:  it has very low nutritional value and it always causes food poisoning when eaten

Is there a way to make pawns and make them part of the world population, so there's a chance they'll pop up in a raid or as a visitor? At the moment I'm spawning them at game start and using 'send to world' from dev mode but I don't know if that poofs them out of existence.

You can do it with Prepare Carefully, too, when setting up your colonists - there's a World tab on the left where you can create or load in preset characters, and choose what faction they end up joining (or leading, if you want), or make it random.
