Thankfully the colony is advanced enough that we have real medicine and a good hospital so it ended up being fine, but still! You can give babies a dose of Penoxycyline in the medical tab, so I guess you just have to remember to do that on any newborns? My body my choice

So the guy who was missing both ears? Yeah, he's dead now. We were being raided by pigmen and he was near some toxic waste when it caught fire and exploded, and the mega-cancer radiation got him.

I have a weird mod question: Is there anything like a journal out there where you can type out things and save them in game with a colony? I'd like to record some of the events in my colony that happen so I can remember where pawns came from, events that happen that aren't recorded in the messages, etc. Like a chronicle of the colony.

Kanos posted:Phew, remembering why I kind of hated most of the Vanilla Expanded factions. Warcaskets are enormously undercosted on raid budgets and you end up fighting entire raids of high end power armor-equivalent pawns with extremely overpowered weapons at ridiculously low raid point calcs. Just run to the comms console and hire 30 Warcaskets as a counter

The other big issue with warcasket enemies is that they feel no pain and barely bleed since all the limbs are replaced so the only way to actually stop them is to just kill them dead which is easier said than done when they have 150%+ sharp armor. Granted this works both ways and they're similarly crazy on your side but they're definitely undervalued in both wealth calculation and raid point value.

There's a mod out there that takes large raid numbers and trims down the numbers by boosting the ability levels and equipment of the raiders so you get smaller numbers of really elite raiders. I should look it up, will edit it in unless someone beats me to it. e: Yes, Compressed Raids! El Spamo fucked around with this message at 17:06 on Nov 8, 2022 |

Geomancing posted:No, this is YOUR problem in the late game; I have never, ever seen raids anywhere near the level you had due to your overpowered killbox. It is a general problem I think with the combat by default, the game doesn't handle mass combat very well, the simulation is not really designed for it and additionally, the only tool the game has for making raids harder is to throw more enemies at you simultaneously. If you build a big colony the game really starts to creak with the raids it sends, not just performance wise but mechanically too. That's part of why I use self preservation as that approximates something like a suppression effect, if you clip people with a bullet they usually run away, it allows treating crowds of raiders a bit more like single amorphous mass than a lot of individual targets, and there's stuff like CE's suppression effects too that try to simulate this. Really I think the combat is just designed for quite small engagements and could probably use some tweaking to add in larger scale combat systems, though that is what psycasts generally do I suppose.

Yeah, I think they realize that too which is why Biotech has the new Mechanoid bosses which have mechanics rather than just 'bigger numbers of bodies'. I think they are a good prototype/blueprint for what more interesting raids and combat would look like.

This again is why I think vehicles would be a good addition, big boss type enemies with limitations to their mobility, possibly including things like turret turning speed etc, and also something for you to build up as the colony grows.

My best guess is that your colonist count is so high that it's pissing off the storyteller, I've never reached the 30 or so that you end up with.

I would pull up some old saves to check but with the 1.4 modpocalypse probably none of them would even work. I do like production specialists and bionics so things tend to be pretty high value though.

Took a look at the wiki page for raid point calculations. The basic idea of "more wealth = more raid points" is pretty simple, but two things stood out for me:
Oddly enough, attack capable animals contribute to the pawn points, but mechanoids do not. Mechanitor recluse should be by far the easiest play style as a result.

I had a quest to take out >30 manhunter fennec foxes. The darn things keep an almost perfect blob formation and easily chip damage all my combatants to death. This thread's experiences in toxic gas inspired me. I set up a bunch of tox IEDs in the middle of my town square, and had my mechantor (chromed up with detoxifier lungs) get to work setting off the gas. The immediate reduction in combat effectiveness from the gas helped, as did the escalating penalties. Eventually, they keeled over and I felt really bad looking at the aftermath Fart gas is fearsome, folks

hosed up that raiders can be preggers. Unfortunately I turned a Neanderthal raider soon to be mom into a vegetable by shooting 80% of her brains out. So I kept her well and fed in a prison until birth, which luckily was a healthy one. It's cool that you can adopt a baby from a prisoner, so we welcomed a newborn ungabunga called Fox into our colony. I just don't know what to do with mom, she is just happily lying in bed and drooling. I thought about drop podding her to one of our allies for rep but I just can't do it, her presence makes baby happy
