Can you actually Mortar a moving target? I had some raiders land and immediately attack and my mortarmen just hurf durfed around until they were right on top of me. Also I nearly just had a base starve to death because when I arrested three raiders the only room I had to use as a prison was my kitchen...and you can't haul stuff out of prisoner rooms.

Any mods let you rescued injured people from other towns that are left behind? Some badasses showed up right on top of a siege that was wrecking me and made it more manageable for me to take out. One of them is bleeding to death but if I rescue them I go to -80 with their faction. Edit: Oh my god you dumb bastards. Don't run to the far corner of the map to get a food pack from the siege for someone who is literally starving to death when you have made meals FOUR SQUARES OVER.

Do you have any issues with the turrets shooing each other? Was thinking offsetting them may be an improvent, but it might just not be an issue.

Huh. Never seen an enemy have a break. Letting a siege go that long unless you went all dwarf and burrowed into a mountain is a really poor idea though. Also god sieges are a pain and mortars are really annoying. I've yet to do anything with them other than splatter some random schlub or scratch the enemy mortar. On the other hand since your base is so much bigger than yours they have good odds of hitting SOMETHING. I tried incendiaries but they AI is pretty drat good at putting those out. Also every siege I've tried to assault had at least one competent M24 gunner. Despite the range I've not found myself too fond of them because they are so slow and even on Overkill, my head soldier with 14 firearms skill, he misses all the time. Getting in close on a corner and spraying bullets seems to work way better.

Haha. I think I just had a pretty funny bug. Had a guy chucking grenades at invading centipedes in my death ally when he took a direct shot. I thought he was dead at first because he was down and I could not see the slightest bit of red on his life bar. So I manage to drag him to get healed and as my doc is working on him I notice his HP bar isn't actually rising. He managed to get drat near everything you can break broken or burned, was horribly incapacitated, but suffered no actual HP damage as far as I can tell.

I definitely sold a cripple into slavery. Poor bastard got shot in the head. Although my sympathy isn't the best since he was captured attacking my base. He worked and moved at a snails pace. I let him be my janitor until slaver showed up and arrested him. Slavers just don't seem as common as the other ships to me. Now I'm waiting on them again because I managed to capture a guy with no left leg and another with a destroyed kidney man probably will get to stay. He has a max HP of about 1/3 a bar but is otherwise functional. Provided blood filtration doesn't actually matter! Maybe I'll turn him into my grenadier. Those guys have short lifespans any way. Edit: Is a missing leg permanent incapacitated?

Maybe the slavers will buy her a new leg  She was ALSO my best doctor. I guess I shouldn't have had her out sniping. But seriously her targets were total scrubs. All the guys with M-24s had 1 firearms skill. Just got winged by sheer bad luck.

HOLY JESUS the squirrels. I just had an event pretty late in the game where the squirrels went mad. It was the most brutal attack I have ever faced.  Luckily I had a partially built ship so two of them got off planet. That entrance layout held up pretty well to humans, but not vs. squirrels who ended up in dead zones to the turrets. Also my main gunner had the minigun equipped which is about 50x too slow to attack the squirrel horde. I can definitely find 25 squirrels/corpses. May be a few more.

I ended up swimming in food on my Tundra map mainly because I slaughtered every motherfucking Muffalo and Elk I could find since parkas made from them sell for $500+ and aren't any more effective than the cloth parkas the enemies wear for temperature. I also had an unusually large for me outdoor starting farm of potatoes to stock up on before the growing season ended.

Drunk in Space posted:This isn't actually true. There's a bug right now where clothing made from most leathers actually gives twice as much cold protection as it's supposed to. I'm currently playing a challenge game with the icesheet mod, which allows you to play on the frozen biome. Winter temperatures in the location I picked plummet to less than -100, which is about as obscene as it sounds. To maintain the challenge, though, I have to intentionally refrain from using parkas made from leather, because they trivialize even that insane temperature drop. Ah didn't know about the bug, was strictly going by item descriptions in game. Still, will be relevant for the future!

As far as I can tell those sleeper pods are basically suicide until the point they become goodie baskets for your colonies(when you don't really need it because you are strong enough to face down six angry goons). They go wrong WAY more than they go right.

You can go and download a 'I'm a pussy' mod if you like They don't need to be lasers, but some more accuracy would be nice. I've spent basically two in game days with 3 mortars and didn't kill a single enemy at a siege.

The personal shields own bones(when you have them). They can be pretty obnoxious when the enemy has them. With the pretty low gun accuracy in the game slashers can run rampant vs shooters til you manage to pop their shields. Feels like effectively double to triple their HP since there is 0% chance to do a major injury while it's up. You definitely want at least one good melee person on your team to counter them. Also I may just be crazy, but friendly fire seems way less common so far. I just had a group of guys basically firing through each other in a stack with little downside.

Wonder if he'd change the time system up significantly to have that make more sense. Since most games only run a handful of years children would be all downside until you are thirty hours into the game.

Bold Robot posted:How does deterioration on items work? I guess I won't be able to keep guns/clothes/etc. lying outside at my trading stockpile anymore? I guess it's realistic but it sounds like a huge pain in the rear end to have to micro that hauling. Basically what I do is just quickly do a no-roof zone over my stockpile when i'm actually trading. The rest of the time I leave it roofed. Edit: Just made a Masterwork Devilstrand coat $4680 value  Actual sale price was only about $700 though laaame.

Man the game is just stuck in a rut throwing tribal attacks at me. Unfortunately for them tribals do not last well to the turret mine room. I think I had 15 corpses and a a few still twitching in a 3x3 space. It pretty much looked like someone exploded a fifty five gallon drum of blood in there. On that note: does any mod let you haul more than one clothes item at a time? Edit:  Masterwork sniper rifle. 100% accuracy on all but point blank range. Thank god I was loaded and could afford $2200.

Filthy Monkey posted:The decay for skills over 10 is kind of irritating. It makes it really hard to get some skills up. I started a colony with min, who is a special character incapable a shitload of stuff, but who comes with 15+ art and social. Even using her as my only warden and trader, her social skill is still decaying, and has gone down to 14. Doctoring and Wardening could probably use huge boosts the the amount of XP you get since. I'm not sure my main doc leveled up once in over a year of play.

Might be vents if something like Central Heating got updated. While temps DO technically go through walls they do it quite poorly, especially on brick or natural stone. A heater or cooler barely nudges the temp of adjacent rooms.

You can still make a poor man's(rich man's?) mine using a turret. put it in a room with locked entrance and exit. raiders all bunch up until the front door breaks, they rush in and attack the turret. The turret explodes and kills half of them, downs 1/4, and the last 1/4 flee bleeding.

Spakstik posted:In my last game I ended up with statues being my primary source of income. Is there any benefit to producing grand statues? A skill 20 artist cranked one out (normal quality, maybe?) and it ended up not being worth much more than the higher quality small statues that my other two artists were churning out. The time you have to invest in it doesn't seem to line up with the payoff; seems like I'd have been much better off having them churn out small statues. If you actually want a beautiful area I think they have a much higher beauty value. And it's a giant pain to raise beauty value now, especially with how much dirt drags it down.

Anyone that is allowed to do repair can attempt to take it off(have your highest construction person do it). Then once you have the scyther arm you can perform a surgery to attach it to a colonist. Be aware this fucks with their ability to do most things besides be a murder machine since it drops their manipulation. If you outright kill the scyther you can't take their sweet blade arm.
