So it turns out the Leyden Rifle is incredibly powerfull. In only 4 shots i managed to kill one Selenian, set another on fire and freeze time and space forever. I can now enjoy the perfect second of the universe forever as my colonists act like they usually do when the game is paused. Once this gets a bit too stressfull i can always pause the game, which means everyone still acts like the game is paused but now my screen is the usual slightly darker. I can scroll around to my hearts content and inspect menu or submenu in the colony/interface fine. it just won't get around to dealing with commands like forbid item or construct thingy. Also when i press save, nothing happens. So a save file will be an ingame day old (this happened in the evening of day 109) and i have no clue if its gonna let itself be reproduced. When i press exit without saving, it does popup with the "are you sure? you'll loose everything that isn't saved" question. but when i press yes it just removes the popup and.....does nothing. Edit: so upon loading the dayold save, i got the leyden rifle locker installed and pressed save even before having switched the barracks crew in question to using said rifles. This did not amuse the terrible architect of the sky devouring deathworm and thus my game crashed halfway through saving. Edit 2: okay so i managed to get it to save after installing the leyden rifle locker (i started saving after each step in its construction stockpiling and installation just to be sure) and very shortly after i switched them to using that shiny shiny gun, they ran into a glow worm thing. shot that without incident, then took 3 or so shots at the selenian hover ball of hate setting it on fire. the instant that it looked like it died (either to the shooting or the being on fire) the game crashed. Save file sent. SerthVarnee fucked around with this message at 15:27 on Nov 10, 2016 |

Also while i've got your attention in that save. the exterior mounted lamps on one of the overseer houses....aren't they supposed to give a quality bonus? I tried placing them in an attempt to get said house to +6 quality, but all the did was make the place a little shinier i guess? Ended up having to cram another two wooden plints in there. Should only be the two lamps in the entire settlement so they should be possible to locate. I could also just be completely wrong in my reading of their inteded use.

Still it's not a bad place to start. If you have specific question, you can ask here or on the official forums, too.

Ah good, im not the only one with the outdoor decor issue. Having only just now noticed the mail from you guys telling me my previous attempt to send a save file failed, i've tried it again (though i suspect, its gonna end up with the same lack of file sent issue, due to its size) This save is of course from version 1.0C so might not be of any use to you any more

Yeah, probably not relevant at this point as internally we are testing on 1.0E (and moving the build machines, AND all dealing with The Stomach Flu of Total Destruction). Thanks, though! Outdoor decor issues have been noticed and I believe fixed by David, I'll track that down Monday.

Decor is still... odd. I really don't get the point of it at the moment. If you built Wooden Decor at a Carpentry from planks and constructing a Cabinet required 1x Wooden Decor, then that'd be fine. It wouldn't work as well with the trade system as boxed goods, but it's probably good enough to just sell 'Wooden Decor' to traders. If you built a Boxed Cabinet at a Carpentry from planks and constructing a Cabinet required a Boxed Cabinet, then that'd be fine. More fiddly, as you have to keep going back and making new requests for different types of cabinets as you can't keep a standing order for each type open without a huge workshop with a rock-bottom Quality, but fine. Now... You have to build Decor at your Carpentry from planks. Then build a Boxed Cabinet from the same workbench from Decor. Then place the cabinet. Why are there 3 steps, not 2? All it seems to add is the ability for you to make any decor out of wood OR glass OR stone & clay. But doesn't that just remove a lot of the distinction of biomes and different start locations anyway? You can build a clay pot from wooden planks, or a barometer from stone, which means that colonies that're wood-poor but stone-rich look exactly like those in a verdant forest.

so i've got a machine that can run this now and i'm trying to figure out roughly how large i want to make buildings like the bunkhouse or the pub also i'm assuming i want to put a lot more than just 3 cots into the bunkhouse so my people can actually sleep, right

Each cot will reduce the beauty by 1, so i tend to start with several small bunkhouses.

A laborer bunkhouse expands your population cap by up to five anonymous sets of hands, so my standard pattern is 9 tiles long (5 cots with four interstitial spaces) by four wide (3-length cot + walkway), with a door and window on either short end, four large clotheslines along the walkway wall flanking a centrally-placed Small Shrine. Not terribly hard to get this smallish footprint out and having a lovely bed in an unfinished bunkhouse sounds better than sleeping on the ground in the wood shop, at least to me. Middle class are more involved, but they also cap out at four stalwart craftfolk each when completely filled out so I typically start with the footprint of all four beds+single walkway tile and then add space from there until I have enough to fit in all required amenities. Once you get the hang of how it fits together you can sometimes manage to fill in some irregular spaces with middle class housing, as long as you don't get seduced into the brutal simplicity of leveling giant chunks of terrain to fill full of McColonial Mansions.

You don't need more than 3 cots to up the labourer gain, but is it safe to assume that sleeping on a cot improves labourer housing happiness?

Heh, to be honest I never even though about it that way. Max pop gain is 5, so each bunkhouse should have 5 bunks, and conveniently exactly enough decor to hit the quality standard fits along the blank wall. I guess making sure everyone has a dry place to sleep that's not the floor has always been an unstated personal priority for me in this game. I will usually build an oversized house of each type once I'm comfortably stable, in order to bring the bed count up to include the original colonist allotment.

Try setting your barber and vicar to work during shifts where everyone else is off, when I do this it tends to cut down on but not eliminate the problem of people not getting the services they need to prevent death/madness (leading to death).

how do i change that? can't seem to find any such option in the office interface also, funny note, because all my overseers in the graveyard still count as some form of being around, all my colonial spats involve at least one dead person and it's getting really weird

Scheduling is in the work crew interface, not the office interface. With regards to your Squabbling Dead problem, it's something that happened often enough to make it unsurprising midway through the alpha but I haven't seen it in quite some time.

between this and a couple other bugs (trying to replace my kitchens' stone ovens with iron ovens has screwed up the module order interface and one of the kitchens now believes it has no door) i think i'm going to just vitrify this save, send it to gaslamp, and start anew with the knowledge i've gained about the game time to look up how to send in bugged savegames

Was this removed at some point? Yeah, now work crews assigned to a specific work site do that task, work crews without an assignment take care of construction, resourcing, and hauling. Now that I think about it, though, the 'all colonists will also haul if they have no other tasks' assumption that I have is based on behavior from a lot of Alphas ago, anyone else remember if this is still true?

Ah, it's the Overseers tab now. The row of rectangles under the laborer assignment slots indicates work scheduling but it seems like you can't interact with it anymore. I wonder how far back that change was, and how I managed not to notice it.

I wonder how far back that change was, and how I managed not to notice it. That explains it then, thanks for letting me know. All in all it's a great fun game. As somebody who has put a couple of hundred hours into Dungeons of Dredmore it's great to see that you're keeping with the style and wit, in a totally different genre. The first attack from a foreign power was a bit of a shock. I did manage to fight them off, but lost quite a few overseers in the process. The tough decision for me now is whether to keep going with this save, or restart and do better with what I've learned from my mistakes. I hope you re-introduce group scheduling again soon!
