Pilas are really really dangerous. They will sever limbs like nobody's business. Best to micromanage your colonists when pila throwers are around so they can dodge the physical projectile.

Danaru posted:I had Randy give me toxic fallout and nearly 20 manhunter boomrats at almost the same time. The map doesn't have grass or trees anymore Randy gave me a day 10 raid against 3 raiders, one with a Good sniper rifle, another with an assault rifle, and a third with grenades. The sniper immediately heartshot my best fighter, turned around and noscoped my best melee pawn, then everything went downhill from there as nobody left had a combat skill above 2. Entire colony wiped out by three raiders.  Is it just me or are mercenary snipers the single deadliest thing raiders can throw at you? I make it a point to never give them a chance to fire their guns anymore.

I knew it was bad, but then the guy closed to melee and I thought "oh good, they can't throw their pila" and then proceeded to chop off someone's leg in melee. I didn't even realize they could be used for both melee and ranged!

Even if you're full melee, you can build some walls with choke points that negate all the ranged badness. You don't even build doors to close it off completely, just a nice choke point that the enemies path around: If you have brawlers and you roof it over so it's dark you have a pretty hefty advantage. e: for maximum gankage, make the entire inner wall out of doors so you can attack groups all at once with your 20 brawlers

The darkness defensive boost was removed in A16 unfortunately. I've been really liking this setup: http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/112986234414027085/68D0E097B59357AE2B05CD91EEBD67C679FB686D/ Raiders feed in through the single tile and then are in range of all my defenders, with no defensive cover.

I've been using this setup at the center of my base:  Total firepower isn't that great but it completely prevents friendly fire which is how I mainly lose colonists, if they get into melee range I just retreat into the bunker and let them die from exploding turrets.

Manned cross bunker: If the enemy is only coming from one or two sides I usually put snipers on the corners as well, like in this screenshot. Also, I finally learned that infestations are no joke, but neither are trained attack cougars.  She managed to take out four bugs before dying of her wounds.

A pack of tamed Yorkshire terriers showed up at my base, so I gave everyone a pet puppy. It's been a black comedy ever since as they steady die off like clock work. They've been bitten by snakes, eaten by panthers (first day), eviscerated by giant bugs, reduced to ash by mechanical monsters, machine gunned, clubbed, blow up, irradiated, and my personal favorite struck by lightning while napping outside. Rimworld is cruel to the small and furry. Now my artists crank out poo poo like this:

I just had a brutally quick rear end loving. My only builder (of 3) was picking up a cargo drop near the map edge and I got a raid which popped in 2 metres from her. One guy bludgeoned her with a club right away, then they decided to just kidnap her and left the map edge. Whole thing took less than 30 seconds. The builder's pet fennec fox then went berserk over her "death" and savaged the hands off my only doctor!! Ouch!!

I've only played 50 hrs so far, but that's what so great and fun about this game, the ridiculousness of it. How so much crap can pile on top on your game in a hurry. I just had 8 days of toxic fallout, 2 raids, mad rhinos attacking, solar flare and most of my meat in freezer spoiling all at the same time. My husky died of a heart attack and one my cooks makes meat out of her almost immediately.

I have a rather technical question for the experts: A recent arrival in my colony had the 'lazy' trait, which I replaced with 'Green thumb' via the magic of save file editing. However, even after several days went by, my other, industrious colonist still has a -5 dislike modifier with the new girl, because of 'hard worker vs lazy'. Where else in the save file is this info stored?? Just removing it from the 'traits' section obviously didn't do the job completely.

Hard worker vs lazy applies from any hard worker towards anyone who isn't a hard worker / industrious. Don't need lazy trait.

No, I meant the more severe opinion penalty against actually lazy people that Zhentar mentioned. Believe it or not, not everyone incinerates those on sight - I usually try to find a use for every non-psychopath or staggeringly ugly person who joins. I've only edited the save file this time because I'm trying a 'little hut in the frozen tundra' thing with minimal population and no outside farming for the first time, so I need efficiency.

So I am not even a year in and toxic fallout just occurred. I am thankful I can caravan my people outside the area to save them. Hopefully the fallout doesn't hit a wide area of embark sites.

I hope they make it so that you don't need to spend metal on sandbags and other obvious not metal things. Also as much of a  that human reproduction would add to the game, it would be nice to have it. Because the scenario I use gives me lots of guns and armor but disables the freebie immigrant events and without the hospitality mod and with tyians loving 67% flat chance to outright kill an raider with an otherwise non lethal take down, makes getting new pawns a pain.

This is dumb, you can't sue over that. There's no laws against bad things happening to children in media or Game of Thrones would be in pretty loving hot water. The real reason is that the game's timescale doesn't allow for meaningful reproduction.
