There's probably a mod that removes the negative mood from eating colonists. Never seen a fine meal addicted to anything.

I forget which mod I have that does it, but it adds methadone as a “removes negative mood of addiction” while still having the work penalties and needing to be taken daily. You can also get them addicted to methadone.

Either use a mod or else exploit the 3 tile raids pickup limit. Choke all the tiles within 3 around the dispenser with chunks or something, then put the pawn beside the dispenser and just hold down R.

Lol this game. Started tutorial, Randy (base builder). Built some basic stuff inside a large walled enclave. Rooms are set up in corners of the square. Room 1: Beds, desk, stove, table, chairs Room 2: Nonorganic storage Room 3: Butcher room / organic storage Room 4: Wood -fired generator. Open field: potato farm. Everything is built, Im looking for what to do ... potato harvest isnt done yet. And we're almost out of meals. I sent my gunner out to shoot a megasloth, which ... rages out and downs him. Then heads for my colony. My two other people (married couple) stab it to death. They grab the downed colonist, put him in bed, begin harvesting the sloth. Except, I have the stove and the butcher room 30 tiles from each other. And while Butcher guy is walking, the injuried guy dies in his bed. So I have Crafter girl begin digging a grave. And then Butcher collapses from infection. And crafter runs in from the outside, carries him to his bed ... and also collapses from starvation. I'm all set to watch this colony die. And then ... new colonist. The Man in Black. He immediately starts treating everyone  Thanks Randy.

Loel posted:Lol this game. In the future plant a small field of rice first. Like as soon as the game unpauses have everyone grab their weapons then immediately plant a small field of rice. Rice grows the fastest and gives you the best chance of a harvest before starvation. You don't want a BIG field of rice because it is also the most labour intensive per nutrition. Corn is the best labor/nutrition, but it grows the slowest. Corn is usually your main crop. You don't want all corn though, because if your crop gets taken out by fire or blight forcing you to replant then you'll have a long wait for the next crop to come in. Also you have to be careful with corn in very cold biomes when there is less than 10 days left in your growing season. Potato is the mediumist. It's special feature is that it reacts the least to soil fertility. If you have rocky soil plant potatoes. On the flip side, if your farm is in a "rich soil" area definitely don't plant potatoes there because they get the least benefit from it, plant rice or corn there.

I've got massive outside fields and 2 sunlamps set up indoors with hydroponics. I have wanted chickens, but I have not been able to obtain chickens. I almost always have 8-10 colonists out on caravan mission duty. With that many colonists, I use extended storage so I can store 110 meals on two tiles and I have one area that is basically food deep storage zone where, before winter starts, I try to have 600 fine meals (hearty stews from Rimcuisine, to be precise) as well as a full freezer of raw food for making during the winter. I also have ~2000 pemmican and ~4000 hardtack (basically pemmican, from Rimcuisine) on hand for caravan and "oh poo poo" supply.

Having such a rough start has really made me appreciate how important a comm panel and trade beacons are. Normally I have them set up pretty early but this time I'm 110 days without one set up and I'm yet to meet a non-neolithic trader. I'm drowning in weapons, leather and neutroglycerin and that's likely to make raids nastier. Hopefully I'll be able to get it up and running before long.

Avoid the chickens. They breed rapidly, and scale well, but christ almighty they are a burden on processing. I'm sure you already have felt the slow down, but adding chickens to the mix makes the problem infinitely worse. I had noticeable performance gains when my chickens were all caravanned off map due to a food shortage. And, to provide my answer to the original question, you manage them like an RTS, with selection boxes and hotkeys. The biggest challenge is remembering who is supposed to do what.

I can only reliably run the game on 2x speed now, 3x speed doesn't seem any different. I like to keep a supply of meat sources for fine meals though, and I don't really like relying on wild animal spawns. But, I may have to do just that.

If your colony is at the point where you can sustain enough animals to make meat a staple but its costing you in processing, then that's the time to look for a mod to let you plant meat or something. I made myself an egg plant before things like Synthmeat and A Mod About Meat became available and that's as easy as a bit of copy and paste, but mods might float your boat more. They're OP if you don't have self restraint and use them before you're at the point of ranching, but whatever it's a single player game anyway. If you just want to rip my laziness off place this somewhere in a plant def. It is OP as gently caress, since it's meant to substitute for an arbitrarily large chicken farm so act accordingly. code:Complications fucked around with this message at 05:11 on Jan 24, 2019 |

Vegetable Garden had meat substitutes. I'll just keep hunting and maybe do some off-tile hunting if needed. Dinosauria and Megafauna mod means more chances for huge meat sources. The local pirates decided to demand 266 silver from my colony (I've got over 27000 silver stockpiled) so I figured that meant I shouldn't take them seriously. I move my colonists to the front lines, stick my 5 on the mortars, and tell the pirates nope. I am pretty poor at hitting moving targets with mortars. Like, outrageously bad. But this time... I changed my mind where to shoot the mortars twice. As they fired and the mortars were traveling, the pirates went past where I had targeted. I thought, "oh, another missed mortar barrage" and completely forgot that they could miss in a beneficial direction, and that's exactly what happened. Two mortars landed way off target, which happened to be right in the middle of the huge cluster of pirates. Out of the 56 pirates that showed up, only 8 made it off the map, and I only launched 5 mortars (1 barrage). That was immensely satisfying.

Put the nutrient paste dispenser in the prison and prisoners will pull paste out of it automatically (or if they're unable to move, your warden will pull paste from it). My base designs now have the prison adjacent to the freezer for this reason! Pharnakes posted:You know you can target pawns with the.mortars right? You don't have to just use area fire.

Started a new map now that I have the basic idea. Built storage rooms, butcher/kitchens, research/artisan, and bedrooms, surronded by a nice sandstone wall. I can't for the life of me figure out growing. Ive got a field of corn on good soil with light, but havent gotten a single harvest yet. Ambushed a couple muffalo which has helped keep me afloat. Randy has been incredibly nice so far, I feel like he's watching his 5 year old brother play. "Oh kiddo, you don't know farming ... here's a crash pod of potatoes. And two convoys who give you food. And the raids will be one guy with a club." The main problem I'm hitting is I've run out of wood. A big fire cleared out all the forest within 3 screens of me, and I can't keep up with the wood fuel generator. This means my AC/freezer rooms are down, which means people are starting to get heat stroke, and my food is going bad. I thought I had it covered when I built a wind turbine and connected the power, but the freezer room hasn't turned back on yet.

Your right side wind turbine isn't on the grid, add a couple conduits to connect it. If you're unsure if you have enough capacity on a grid, when you click on a building that uses power it'll tell you the capacity of the grid it's connected to.

Also, since you're in a heat wave the corn will have stopped growing. Plants either slow or stop growth when the temperature is outside their comfort zone. It will show you the current penalty if you click on the crops.

I abandoned my new game in favor of an old save of a previous colony before they flew off on the ship. I have 4 pawns completely decked out in advanced bionics and I'm having a blast fending off 40+ raids with so few people. One pawn is rocking double Power Arms and his melee DPS is sickening, so I hide him up front, then bait with snipers and have melee guy savage them from the back. It's a little stale as far as building and things go, but I'm sending them out on all the Realistic Ruins I can find, and those are really awesome.

Yeah, it's like 6 or 7 seconds from mortar fire to the shell impacting. If I targeted pawns, I'd not get hits on the clustered groups. When they start going double file down the hallway though, that's when I can target the front pawn... though being behind walls means even fewer good hit spots.

There's a MineCo Scanner mod that you set up and it scans in an expanding radius to see if there are resource pockets, but it doesn't scan for caves or anything like that last I checked. I haven't used it in a while since I foudn it a bit tedious to be constantly setting up, waiting for the scan radius to max out, and tearing down. Pharnakes posted:I could swear that the game accounts for shell travel time, but it's been a while since I used mortars right enough. Not in my experience, though I usually get extremely frustrated with the miss radius so I don't use mortars against moving targets anyway. I'll counter-battery a siege, or a "preparing" raid, but between leading the target and the forced miss radius, the cost just isn't worth it.
