Well he did just break his personal sit-ups record and hasn't yet been eaten by a giant space worm.

During my first Base Attempt, my Life Support burned down, taking with it half of my crew. Everyone started panicing and ignoring my orders to build a new Life Support Room, by the time two guys managed to build new Life Support everyone else was dead. Then my station got attacked by pirates.  I love this game.

Watching those idiots panic and not follow my orders that would stop them from loving dying makes me wish for an option to "equip" everyone with Battle Royale-style explosive collars.

I just ran into a weird bug. I was building my base, start of the game, when all of a sudden all three of my crewmen just dropped dead. All had plenty of oxygen and there were no dangers on the screen that I could see. All three just gone at the same time in an instant. Must've been that space plague

So apparently you can't fight in space, and apparently space worms don't mind the vacuum. I discovered a derelict with a space worm in it. It killed my security guy and then stood around in the airlock, so I dismantled a wall and spaced the fucker. Only he didn't die. He kinda flew to my current mining site and proceeded to kill both my miners AND my two new space chicken friends who wandered by, simply by tying them in combat until they all suffocated in space. loving space worms!

I wish there was a way to turn off derelicts for now. My crew, especially Technitians and Security really loves flying over there and getting stuck in the Airlock and suffocating to death.

Just disassemble derelicts first chance you get. That's the best way of dealing with them.

Is there some way of getting rid of the floors from the derelicts? Or are they going to stick around and look weird until the function gets added in?

Ahhahahah oh man this game models some personalities so loving well. I just had a space cat show up who was his own best friend and loved to talk about himself. So of course I renamed him in honor of my own cat.

Derelict showed up, fought it out with a bunch of guys.. Went to destruct it and more than half my crew somehow ended up being sucked into space. God damnit.

Has there been any talk about a "targeted" release date? Or is it more just a free form "just keep adding/fixing stuff until we say its release quality"?

Space chickens showed up to tell me my base was offensive to their religion. I'd previously called their bluff, but this time it didn't work: I was attacked. I tried to sabotage their derelict by drilling through the wall, but they were out in space by then and I couldn't quite lock the airlock doors in time. My crew fought valiantly but everyone died, except for one poor woman, who then spent the next week alternately running in panic and stomping out fires, then camping out alone among the bodies of her colleagues until more space chickens showed up, this time friendly. Now some space months later it's that same survivor woman (now a bartender) and 12 space chickens staffing a huge space station composed of numerous derelicts. Some other space chickens were also offended by the station, but they didn't do much other than boost my security chicken force's skills when they were surprised coming in through the air lock. It was a hard start, but it made us hard as stone.

FYI You can actually build fire extinguishers, they're underneath the All Zones sub-menu. I got a pretty decent base size, with about 16 people. Finally built a pub and now the game keeps crashing

Man Technicians barely even dent the wear and tear your base takes. Even my bar is bursting into flames every 5 minutes. I've also seemed to hit a critical mass over about 25 people. Anytime I go over that, someone inevitably gets a parasite in their chest or they go brain dead at the airlock and suffocate. EDIT: Welp my base won't even load now. I even had individual rooms for everyone with a rug, bed, dresser,a plant and a monitor

Brain dead at the airlock is another glitch that can be worked around by de-zoning and re-zoning the airlock in question, in most cases.

I think this might be able to fill the void. The merciless black void of space. also chalk me up for the 'tried DF once and ran away screaming from the UI' camp. This looks much more comprehensible. They've come a long way since the prototype.

Oddly enough, Startopia turned up on Steam a week or so back. Due to its age it seems a bit janky these days.

On the roster screen, does the number of stars indicate the person's desire to work that job?

I'm confused then. When you go to the duty tab, there's a number next to each profession. In my experience this goes well past 4...as high as 8 so far. Yep I just saw a guy's skill go up while and it was the value in the duty tab that changed. So do the stars on the Roster represent maybe satisfaction from working that job? Or perhaps aptitude for learning it? Edit: OK I see, so it looks like the stars are also skill although they represent ranges.

 G Gzztchtk somehow took of his suit inside the base without going through the airlock after placing the oxygen recycler, and then the other 2 decided to try entering an airlock that only had an outside-facing door. G wouldn't place the inside door because he was panicking about low oxygen, and the two in the airlock got stuck waiting and asphyxiated. Now he's all alone mining on the base.
