The only thing you really NEED is to make sure to have is that at least half of your idiots are decent (5+) at medicine, and that you have a builder (construction passion), a farmer (growing passion) and a cook (5+). Artist and researcher passions are nice, but you can make due without them until you capture/rescue/join someone for that role. Oh, and purge those who are incapable of dumb labor. Because gently caress 'em. Some people swear by prepare carefully, but I'm not as taken with it. Keeshhound fucked around with this message at 18:23 on Feb 24, 2020 |

Cooks aren't even a landing necessity if you're not doing tribal. Paste dispensers are more than good enough early on; not only are they cheap and nutrient-efficient, they also free up what would be a huge timesink for a colonist.

Could be fun, will probably snap and wander off into a blizzard or something. Some rear end in a top hat that won't obey restrictions and gets himself turbo space cancer from all the weed before setting my everything on fire? Get the gently caress out of here.

I just run 100% tribal so it slipped my mind that you can start out with it. There are definitely other traits that people will find disqualifying, but especially for starting out, not having enough haulers is crippling.

Doing a fully vanilla run and it took far too long to realize what my crafter pawns were doing and to go change, "Drop on Floor" in the work tab. I miss my mini fridges SO MUCH. Also I've got 6 colonists and nobody is fighting with anyone, what is this (missing Psychology and Rumor Has It).

I don't run Prepare Carefully either, that short but crucial period of time at the beginning of any given colony where you're trying to manage who's good at what and make due with lackluster or problem colonists is an important aspect of the game imo

Is there a way to make presets for the work priorities? I need a couple so that they can go into cleaning mode then to chop tree mode to build mode effortlessly.

Hihohe posted:Is there a way to make presets for the work priorities? The simplest way to handle this is just to use manual priorities and keep everything at priority 2 or lower, so that you can quickly reassign (shift-left clicking a work category increments all, shift-right click deincrements all) whatever you're proritizing to priority 1.

There's an argument to be made that actual meal prep can be worthwhile for the mood benefits when you're in that semi-awkward midpoint where you've lost your "we live in a shithole so our expectations are low" bonuses but aren't quite at the point where you can give everyone solid gold furniture and 10 sculptures to keep them happy, but paste is hard to beat most of the time, yeah.

In this case, the C# that handles the actual game mechanics would come with the 1.1 update, but since nothing in the base game actually uses that code, it just gets to sit there idle until either an enterprising modder decides to bolt their mod to it, or you buy the expansion, which has the art assets and XML files that actually utilize the code.

Pyro, chemical interest/fascination and gourmet are my "get the gently caress out" traits. For the simple reason that they will randomly make the colonist have a break and be completely useless for a day while pissing away resources. Maybe they wouldn't be so bad if, in the case of everything not pyro, they just did the extra stuff on the sly while still being functional instead of randomly breaking and bringing attention to it.

One of my recently recruited ex-tribals had a tantrum breakdown and threw my emergency stack of 25 glitterworld medicine to the incinerator before I noticed what he was about to do. (I would have arrested and/or beaten the poo poo of that dude with steel maces had I intervened in time.) Guess whose new combat assignment is the "front melee blocker" and herbal medicine only? IDGAF that he is *much* better shooter than fighter. Maybe lose a limb or three and then we'll consider the rest of the repayment options.

Once the colony has started up I'd even take the social only bad ones as with the razzle dazzle mod so they could perform plays.

Does muffalo meat cause gutworm or something? They eat a LOT of muffalo meat meals and everyone has what seems to be a chronic case of gutworm. Not great for my 'sickly' colonist who now pukes 24/7.

Not great for my 'sickly' colonist who now pukes 24/7. sounds like a dirty cooking area to me. make sure you split up carcasses/raw meat/everything else so they're not touching or sharing storage space. build sterile floors in your kitchen and slaughterhouse which should definitely be separate rooms

I thought diseases in vanilla were dictated only by the biome (and attributes specific to your pawns), not anything like food prep or coming in contact with people with disease?

Food sickness is usually sufficient to get your dudes dead because of dumb poo poo. They move so slow and interrupt actions frequently enough that they're basically dead weight for the entire spell. If it's an essential person, like a doctor or a cook, things aren't gonna be good.

Unless things have changed in 1.1, the only thing you can prevent by sanitation is food poisoning. Gut worms is just a random event that gets thrown at your people. You cannot catch it from another colonist (no disease is infectious in this way), nor is it related to your diet in any way.

you prevent infections with sanitation as well (it's just a clean bandaging area rather than a clean cooking area) but yeah, gut worms is a random event that happens in temperate and hot biomes.

I'll buy the expansion without complaint if modders end up building on it and it becomes necessary for a lot of stuff, but I have less than zero interest in any of the content I've seen so far. My colony is an impregnable post-scarcity utopia and my colonists are perfect immortal cyborgs with their consciousnesses backed up to a mainframe on an orbiting space station, so whiny-rear end Space Hapsburgs can gently caress right off unless you can fight them instead of placating them.

Thanks for the help everyone. I am sad to say, however, that my colony looks like it's about done for. I set up a killbox completely wrong, so raids now just blow holes in my walls and walk through, or destroy doors leading outside my base. I've tried a few attempts now, but I easily lose some or even all of my pawns because the enemy is rocking the same weapons I am, but there's substantially more of them. In the end, my pawns get massacred. Raids are also starting to include things like rocket launchers, which flat out murder my pawns in one shot. In good news, the 1.1 update sounds like it's coming down the pipe if it isn't here already, so my colony dying seems like a good time to go out. I'll say goodbye for now, but I don't think I'll try another tribal start. I'm also a little sad that apparently you can't grow/craft the high end items in the game like synthweave or drugs like luciferum. I also was never able to figure out things like how to grow sugar cane, despite being able to mill it into sugar (I had to resort to sugar beets).

Sounds like you don't have a clear, open path to the center of your base. No doors (or ones held open might work, I don't know), because they'll take the path of least resistance. Unless you're dealing with sappers. gently caress sappers. 1.1 dropped along with DLC, so now is a good time to start a new colony anyway.

I started a new colony then i got a quest. A noble was being chased and charged me with protecting him. From a rabid guinea pig. I come out and shoot it once with a charge rifle and it dies instantly. The noble was so thankful he rewards me with being named a yeoman and also a psionic enhancer. They then jump in a shuttle and fly off. I think this dlc is pretty fun.

Haha Bought royalty. New vanilla run while mods update and I want to see what's new. Tropical jungle. Hot. Randy. I have a brother and sister plus a young lass who arts and cooks. Start up is hard, wood buildings, deconstruction some ruins, make a fridge. Clear land for a windmill and pave the area. Get my first quest. Save a colonist from a tribal scrub. Yay. I need the extra hands and they're a 'Logger' very helpful in this bushland. +accept+ Randy sends me a pyro, gourmand, depressive with 6 in plants and basically nothing else. Chased by a naked tribal with a club. Yeah you are useless so give me your lung, kidney and liver and I might be able to sell them. Everyone now sad that we organ harvested a useless pawn noone knows. The sister gets attacked by a jaguar and loses an eye, flips out due to sadness over our cruelty and goes on a rampage. We don't have a jail as I barely have three beds. Her brother shoots her which takes out her kidney. Shoots her a few more times before getting his legs beaten. Thwack in the head. He's super sad he maimed his sister. He is the only one with 5 medicine who can replace a kidney so bruised and beaten he patches up his sister before collapsing on a bed himself. The artcook puts some tape on his bruises using the last of our civilised medicine and goes to bed. During the night he contracts plague. A few days later he dies due to lack of treatment. Royalty a++ Would die of plague in the jungle again.

 It was in fact a house cat and not a trick to watch my one day old colony get destroyed by a tiger. New content is what this game thrives on and it seems like everything is built for modders to take advantage of and build upon, exactly the reason I've spent hundreds of hours with this game and its amazing mod support. And having spent so much time with the base game already I don't really feel bad throwing $20 to the dev even if the new additions are incremental rather than revolutionary. That being said it seems good so far and the new music is great
