Nice of Tynan to make some colonists pray and tell me who gets cannibalized first.


Might need to mod Crucifixion back in. We're on a distant planet, there is no god to save you.



On that note, I've never messed with Long Pig before. If you jam the human cubes into a paste dispenser do they know it's human?

According to the wiki, yes. I checked today because I was running out of food but had thousands of human meats stockpiled.

I finally got this after eyeballing on and off for awhile. My first colony was two middle aged nudists and a 700 year old medieval slave that all quickly starved to death due to my incompetence.

My second was a bit more interesting and consisted of a teacher, a vat grown super soldier turned Luddite rebel with a deep passion for busting rocks, and a miner born and raised. Things went rather smoothly for awhile, I claimed some ruins for a starting storage area, and built into the side of the mountain. This was occasionally punctuated by the occasional tribal raid, but nothing major, well aside from the time my miner got the absolute living poo poo kicked out of him by a tortoise. My miner also ended up being the first casualty, he died clearing away a small mountain area that was blocking my turrets line of fire when it collapsed on him killing him instantly.

Things continued more less as normal after that, even started improving, but I never managed to obtain another colonist. There were a few failed attempts at converting some captured tribals, but they're stubborn bastards, and I never seemed to have enough money when the slave ships came through. My super soldier caught the plague at one point, but it was a minor inconvenience because she quickly developed an immunity. Eventually the day I dreaded came about and my teacher/closest thing to a doctor came down with malaria. You see, when they grow soldiers they don't bother teaching them unnecessary things like medicine or basic human compassion. So every morning my super soldier would eat her breakfast while her only friend in the world slowly starved to death just a few feet next to her.

After the teacher passed a ship of some sort crashed near my base and would emit the occasional psychic pulse that would send the local wild life in a suicide charge at my front door. The pile of broken and twitching critters didn't seem to phase the soldier though. She was eventually shot in the gut by a stray turret round when she got caught outside during a stampede. It became infected, and she would spend most of her days lying in the medical bed. She didn't even really seem to care when the battery storage area blew and the base began to burn. At least until the flames reached her feet, and she suddenly kicked into high gear and frantically began trying to save what was left of her home. When she noticed a crowd of neighboring yokels that had gathered outside to rubberneck, something broke in her deeply. She charged pass the flames, ran outside, and blasted their mayors drat fool head off at point blank range with her rifle. She was of course immediately cut down by a rather impressive hail of gunfire, but honestly it was probably best that way.

It's a net negative but it's a fairly fun negative, it introduces sculpture story events of puking so your artists carve statues of frat boys spewing their guts

The whole point of cannibalism is to inflict trauma on your colonists, CLEARLY SIR YOU DO NOT GET THIS. The best part is the wholly imaginary layer of subtext it adds to statue descriptions of founding members convincing prisoners to join the colony. "Yes friend, EAT, EAT WELL, we have MUCH FOOD YES"

So I recruited a new doctor named Maverick and set another newbie (who'd wandered in out of the jungle buck naked to join up) to get a bionic eye since he was a prosthophile and I figured having a dude all hopped up and happy on being a cyborg would be great.

"Maverick has failed catastrophically while operating on Johs."
"Johs has died due to missing body part."

...Maverick, what did you do?

A little technical protip, if you've got a colony that has been running a long time and the game starts feeling really sluggish, what may be happening is that there's something hosed up with the current game data and the Unity engine is quietly handling a large number of exceptions but not crashing. You won't be shown this while playing (maybe dev mode has a way to see this but not normal mode) but when you load a game, if you get any exceptions in the console, just save the game and reload. The engine does some sort of sanity checking and on reloading you get a clean set of game data and the game runs OK.

So I am using the ice sheet mod with randy random. Randy likes sending a lot of community visitors to check out my little snowhole at -100 farenheit.

I have about 80 corpsicles randomly strewn throughout the icefields.

If you're using that mod, make sure you're using the Winter is Here & Harsher Tundra mod as well, as apart from the handful of wood you start with, you have no means of getting any more on the ice sheet, as trees can't grow and traders don't carry wood at the moment, which will quickly bone you because a lot of workbenches need wood in their construction. The mod adds a number of prepackaged kits for various workbenches that can be bought from traders.

Well eventually you'll hit a bulk trader who has a couple thousand wood but yeah, Winter Is Here/Harsher Tundra are super wonderful and well done. Also sometimes tribal dudes drop wood when killed, I'm not sure if that's vanilla or Winter is Here doing that. Winter Is Here/Harsher Tundra are just very good mods all around, the guy put a ton of work into making them stand out.

Meanwhile at the tundra colony of White Meat:

There should be a fake thermostat that gives colonists a minor happiness bonus when they fiddle with it as long as they don't actually know it's fake, like in office buildings.

I'm sure this could be added but in A9 there isn't really any way to encourage colonists to go gently caress with it other than manually clicking it. Next alpha when Tynan adds the "fun seeker" system and you can tag buildings as sources of "fun" and colonists automatically go seek out fun things to gently caress around with, that could be a pretty straightforward thing to mod in.

All I have had to do is hit the "..." button and enable humanoid corpses/zombie corpses for butchering and cooking and cremating. Of course you need to unforbid the corpses after they're killed too.

You get a whole bunch from disassembling centipedes, not sure about scythers. That's if you can kill the bastards first though. :argh:
On a slightly different note: is it worth buying gold at all? There's certainly not enough to dig up, and when I made a sculpture out of gold (with a Superior result) the beauty value was only about as good as a legendary wood sculpture (which I have lots of and the materials are in plentiful supply) and sold for around $5000 with my maxed-out-in-social trader colonist, which is nowhere near how much the raw materials cost.

You should always have plenty of human skin and flesh onhand to trade for plasteel. Also excess crappy guns and tribal crap.

It's because previously statues made of "small" materials could sell for upwards of like 100k, making them impossible to use in practice. I think he just needs to get rid of the distinction between large and small materials because it's totally pointless at this stage.

It makes sense for Silver, at least in part, because you have quite a lot of resources that sell for about one silver, so being stuck with 20 silver as your base unit would make trading a bit weird, even though the game can handle decimals in the trade window.

Dunno, it's a bit of a bugger and I'm not sure how you could make it work entirely comfortably.

All my games seem to end up with my colonists eating the dead. For reference, that graveyard outside was full. I had four colonists, but one took a shot to the head in a massive raider attack and died. She was also my only doctor and had 15 medicine, god help my colonists if one of them gets the flu. Dan up there almost died too, because an incendiary mortar shot landed in my base and nearly burned him to death.

I think Dan got kidnapped by pirates, because I couldn't find him after the fight. Andy started wandering in a daze after losing his friend, and I had Zellian arrest him.



Andy starves to death because Zellian is incapable of being a warden. Then the game decides to send scythers to finish me off.
