Leif. posted:Has anyone confirmed yet that there are actually any positive benefits to opening a sleep pod? At worst you get a bunch of dudes pop out whom you have surrounded and you know their numbers in advance, which is a rare occurrence. Free spacer gear/food/materials from the pods. At best you might get people who don't want to kill you much, or a horde of angry bugs who will happily waltz into your front gate and get murdered, lots of free dinner + pod mats. A sleep pod is almost always a much better and more guaranteed form of loot delivery than any raid. Except mechanoids because you can now disassemble them into quite a lot of plasteel and metal.

Tias posted:Anyone else encounter a bug/problem with tailoring tables? When winter came around, I ordered it to make 4 parkas, but I can't make my colonists begin the task. Right-clicking over the table just results in nothing, no menu or anything. I haven't played for a while but I had this problem and I'm 90% sure it was because there was no stockpile for the created goods. Pretty sure once I'd made one I could craft again.

I keep playing on boreal forest maps and winter is indeed coming... I've had to turn to cannibalism each time as attacks cripple my hydroponics infrastructure.

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.

If you're facing off against multiple centipedes, arm all of your colonist with bits of wood and rush them. Every centipede will continually try to flee as it is beaten silly by two or three colonists each.

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.

Yeah, melee is crazy effective against centipedes, until the time comes they randomly decide to use the melee attack they themselves actually have. It does about 65 damage.

Yeah, the item description is what it's supposed to be, but if you check the colonist's information tab while they're wearing a leather parka you'll see their min. comfortable temperature is something like -90 instead of the roughly -40 it is when they're wearing one made of cloth.

I found a geyser but it's completely sealed inside a mountain cave, the room it's in is over 170 degrees celsius. If I try and mine in there, will my miner be horribly burned alive the instant they break into that cave? edit: saved first, nothing happened  I was kind of hoping for it to happen, actually

Temperature seems to equalize instantly with the outdoors. I did some loving around in debug mode to get a room up to ~2500 C, and it dropped down to external temperature the instant I opened the wall up. It is a bit disappointing, yeah.

Pirates starting shelling my base and caught it on fire. Someone was caught in a blast in one of my buildings, so I had someone try and rescue them. Flames everywhere, the brave colonist succumbed almost instantly to a room at 300 degrees Fahrenheit. I had someone deconstruct the walls and the air dropped to 80 instantly. Of course, the rest of my colonists were brutally murdered when the pirates closed in, but I think at least of few of my casualties could have been avoided if I had known this heat mechanic.

Theres a mod on the official forums that gives you indestructible targets for your guys to shoot. Though they have to be drafted and manually set to shoot it.

I think there's a line in the changelog that hunters will eventually take breaks if they aren't killing anything. Which probably would have helped for the hunter I had last week that spent an entire day spraying uzi bullets at a squirrel to no result.

I've had some success with the following setup - can't take screenshots as I'm on a different computer now, but here's the layout:code:s marks a sandbag, or embrasure if I'm playing with that mod w is internal walls, ideally made out of stone so they last longer o is where my drafted shooters stand. You want to place the whole room off in a corner of your base, with this layout to the North. Draft in shooters using UZIs and the like, and have them fire at the stone walls (the w). This trains them up fairly quickly. Anyone set to repair then runs in to repair the damage, if you've placed it nicely then they won't run in from the top but use the bottom entrance. Then they stand the other side of the wall, and don't get shot at, but they can repair the damage faster than the shooters can do it. Levels both your shooting and repair skills. If you have embrasures instead of sandbags then you don't need to be as concerned about placement; since they can't reach the walls from the top they have to come in via the bottom route.

Given the amount of money this game has made him recently, that doesn't really surprise me. If I was raking in millions for the first time ever I would probably feel obligated to do some coding over the holidays as well.

This is one of the Kickstarter projects that I wish I'd backed at a higher level. Even in its unfinished state, its fun. Though I don't know if I completely agree with the "it's fun to lose" mentality. If you've invested a bunch of hours in a colony, watching it demolished by dozens raiders with high-tech weapons is not the best way to bow out.

I just played the game a bit the first time since the kickstarter ended. Played on casual and managed to bring home about one sixth of my starting crew. Never got around to building a paste dispenser or figuring out what other devices a hopper can be attached to. Also, even after quite a bit of experimenting I never found out how to set up my air-conditioning to keep away unhappy thoughts. With heaters 11°C is enough. But even at 24° I still got "slept too hot" thoughts.

Characters have a min/max comfortable temperature on their character sheet, and if you click on a cooler, there are 5 big buttons labeled -10, -1, reset, +1, +10, that change the target temperature of the device.. 24C shouldn't be too hot for most people though, so you either had a crew entirely of people that like it cooler, or installed them backwards. Even at default, the coolers should be targeting 21c.

I mean the heater also is set to 21°C as a default, but you never need more then 11°C.

When you select a character, click on the i near the top of their character sheet for advanced stats. You will get everything from their preferred temperatures min/max to a % multiplier of how fast they do any action, and a couple other things.

Loving the game so far. A few questions: Why do item drops spawn "forbidden" by default? Is there any way I can lessen the possibility of "electrical faults" that cause explosions, aside from making sure my batteries are inside? If there's no simple way I'm thinking of making my power distribution modular and segmenting different areas of my base, because as it stands these explosions are getting a bit out of hand with all the batteries I have connected. Am I right in assuming that the only way to recruit new colonists is by capturing wounded bodies? Is there an any way to prevent enemies from spawning inside of my home area? I'm guessing this happens only in areas without a roof... if that's the case I'll just keep those areas under heavy turret guard. TheEffect fucked around with this message at 23:54 on Jan 4, 2015 |
