i finally picked this up after years of hemming and hawing. i started with the default crashed ship setting and on the 3rd difficulty and chose a temperate forest, and have kind of just waltzed through things. i have more colonists than i can even keep busy at this point and am wanting for nothing. my only mistake has been building my base into a mountain, it seemed like a good idea but the infestations are A Problem. i want to finish this first colony and then start a new one on tribal with a higher difficulty and choose a tougher biome, maybe cold bog or something i dunno. anyway good game would recommend.

OwlFancier posted:If you're starting with normal tech and in a temperate area then yeah it's not that hard of a game necessarily, if you have access to good farmland and a long growing window it's quite easy to make a lot of food. i could do that but tbh i'd rather finish up this playthrough and then start a new one on a higher difficulty on tribal in a harsher biome. i chose cassandra and landed in a hilly temperate forest for my first attempt, i wanted to play it a bit safe to learn what i was even doing.

Eiba posted:If you build a base in the mountains you do really only need to figure out how to deal with infestations and the game is mostly solved. If you want more of a challenge you could simply try building a base in the open so you're forced to engage with all the other kinds of threats in a more immediate way. yeah. i am fairly certain infestations are there to try and make mountain bases at least somewhat tougher because without those, they'd be functionally impregnable. and even with them, my strategy of 'throw a molotov and run like hell' works great so far, i just need to remake some furniture after that and that's all. i should also clarify that i am not like, disappointed things are going so well or anything. i like seeing my nice, dwarf fortress-esque base and how defensible it is, and it feels good positioning my snipers at the far ends of the killing tunnels i made that enemies usually funnel into and just mowing them down. i'm just surprised it has worked so well.
