Interesting. Is it like 90% wealth/ 10% time or 60/40. I ask because I have limited military strength because Randy is stingy with qualified soldiers this time around so I mostly have had to rely on traps thus far.

Don't be too strict on what qualified means. Qualified for me is "can you hold a rifle?" They'll get better at actually hitting with the thing, assuming they survive.

Yeah, for an “evil pirate” playthrough. It makes the game hella easy, just keep them shackled and restricted to indoors and they can never escape. Eventually they’ll get Stockholm syndrome and you can use them like any other colonist. Every raid just provides free labor.

Oh hey, I missed that mod! IIRC last I got obsessed with RW it was A17 and that hadn't been updated since. Nice! It actually feels a little more humane (other than the collar and broken will stuff) because you can build proper little penal compounds for them and furnish them with recreation. I'll probably uninstall prison labor for this, its overall more robust.

The problem I see with the slavery mod is that it's rather overpowered compared to prison labour(Pawns can do any job rather than just a few ones like crafting or mining)


Also about caravans, is there a way to increase how much a pawn can carry?(Mod or otherwise)

Anything that increases manipulation increases carrying capacity.

You're using pack animals too, right? Muffalo are my preferred, due to wool/milk production and one of the faster move speeds among common pack animals (camels and alpacas).

Yeah, I turned it waaaaay down. There's a slider in the mod settings that allows you to modify how much plant matter you get per harvest.

Using the hygiene mod too and it gives sprinklers that create a zone of fertile soil, which is easier to manage. Or... could disable plant matter and also make the chance to lose fertile 0%.

Hmm.

I built a biofuel refinery and have infinite chemfuel just thanks to my fields :v: set the bill to use plant matter only and still can't use all of it..

Besides chemfuel generators, how do you use chemfuel? I have like 1500 cans of fuel now and growing

I turn poo poo into chemfuel and plant scraps into compost. Even if you dont care about upping soil fertility, fertilizer sells for a decent price.

Chemfuel is fuel for transport pods and is an ingredient for mortar shells. You might also have modded vehicles into the game; those typically take chemfuel too.

My favorite vehicle mod is Trading Economy Enhanced, which uses animals skinned as vehicles that can be ridden with Giddy-Up. I once had two hoverbikes self-tame.

Wood maces are a bit more likely to knock out without killing or destroying a vital body part. Plasteel maces are just as fast attacking but a bit more oopmh.

I learned AFTER toxic fallout that really was a bit of a disaster that plant scraps have a nutritional value, but I'm also using WM Smarter Food Selection and Plant Matter gets classified as a planted plant by Food Selection and planted plants aren't in any of the default diets, so your animals won't eat it unless you set their diet to Unrestricted.

I got a tillable soil mod and it's really great. Y'all are gonna be happy pretending humanity never figured out a better way to farm poo poo than just putting a seed in the ground and coming back after a couple weeks/months? Please.

If anything tillable soil should be in the base game with a minor wood cost.

Anyways I got a shitload of wooden clubs and bashed up all over a little bandit camp with a doctor joining the raiding group. All but one of them got captured. Neat!

I was running into an issue where the crafted rich soil and tilled soil was being undone by the "wet soil" tile change from Nature's Pretty Sweet, so I opted to use the sprinklers to raise the growth instead of tilling.

I tried using that one and it seemed cumbersome and finicky, even more so than the dropship mod. (which I am still using a beta version of and it works just fine, except you have to manually refuel it unless there is nothing, and I mean nothing else for your pawns to do, and if you land it before a scout pod there is always a pirate base underneath you, so always send a scout pod)

I've played enough games now that I'm getting a lot of repeat names and I have so many colonists that I can't remember if my current Sam is a melee dude or if that was the Sam from my last game and now he's a pacifist.

Is there a mod that will let me modify the colonist icons at the top of the screen so I can easily ID melee/shooting/pacifists? I've got everyone in marine armor and they all look the same now. I think I remember seeing a mod that even might have put weapon icons on the colonist icons? That would be even better.

Also a mod that gives me more different colonist names would be nice...
