Will different sized Mutton Chops denote senoirity with the Military forces?

Will we have the option to pick what colour our soldiers fancy Victorian steampunk uniforms can be? And if possible, can we choose the colour of the pants and uniform decoration too?

Or is that getting too fiddily. If so that is cool.

When chaos is happening to the colony, you'll be happy to know the Officers will be lounging around their mess in the barracks sending off their bat boys to do all the hard work.

There should be a way to 'donate' a dead Colonist body to the University or Doctors to help things out medical wise for the rest of the colony. Like we'd have room for things like 'graveyards'.

Take up good factory and Zeppelin hanger spaces.

Also, will there be Highwaymen, Zeppelin Pirates and Anarchists causing chaos inside the colony too? Will I have the option to execute them with cannon? or throw them out a Zeppelin?

Sorry if you've got detailed articles about this stuff already, I'm slowly wading through them.

Doesn't surprise me the Clockwork Upperclass would bring their entire dining room with to the Colonies. There is a famous satircal picture from the twenties of some well off British couple having a dinner party in the middle of some African jungle all dressed up to the nines with all the needed wine glasses, forks and tables being served by well dressed valets.

Keep up the good work guys, seriously looking forward to this like I've mentioned before.

I am oddly curious and have to ask this, but will there be a special facial hair assignment code giving the more serious and patriotic men of the colony the well trimmed and clipped moustaches and beards whilst the commoners have unkempt hair bushes?

Or will Barbers deal with facial hair along with minor surgery too?

Finally got around to buying this and goddamn already lost three hours to it. Any key to the feelings bubbles of your colonists? and I raided a Bandit camp but the stuff I took from the tents is just laying around gathering dust. How can I get it to the nearest stock pile?

Ah okay then, I also enjoy reading all the little notes on everything. Whomever is writing all that stuff, I like your style. Looking forward to my first rating when the eventual Fishman Army envelopes my half assed colony!

Also, I see you got all kinds of 19th century weaponry avaliable as well. Have you guys ever considered giving Gunsmiths the dangerous option of possibly converting older smoothbore weapons into newer models on the cheap at the risk of them of misfiring now and then and the worst case scenario exploding horribly in the hands of the user?

The perfect way to deter gun grabby bandits and get rid of neutral parties via gun trading.

French Hussars!

But yeah, when you gentlemen and ladies working on the game a moment have time after putting a bit more foundation into the game, I'd love to see a few merry sing along and drinking games in the pub, or the soldiers doing drill. Maybe some cheeky pick pocketing and other saucy criminal hyjinx as well.

Will you eventually add an animation where a soldier lugs up a barrel of gun powder and lights the fuse?

That would quite frankly rule.
