How do I recruit more dudes? I capture people but then they go insane and/or die.

Ah Ok, got some savage to join me then.

Another retard question, I have a shitton of silver in my stockpile but if I use the comms unit to trade it says I have zero ?

Great game but needs a quickstart with ten colonists or something.

The zombie apocalypse mod is pretty fun. I had to build a dedicated crematorium complex to deal with the bodies.

Though it turned into digital auschwitz at that point.

The best part about this game is that if there's an obvious problem (e.g. no leg = useless) it gets fixed by a mod or an update to the base game really quickly.

Link?

It seems to work inside the other events so you get pirates getting eaten by zombies.

The traps mod is good idea but bad execution for anyone thinking of using it. Too many complex crafting trees to follow.

Is there any way to specify mod precedence? I noticed that extended surgery mod breaks the zombie apocalypse mod for whatever reason.

I wish colonists wouldn't be such huge loving babies. Oh you are depressed because you had to defend yourself? I'm sorry maybe gently caress off pussy.

The game needs a "order colonist to sleep" button so the mental breaks will stop isntead of depressed idiots standing there doing the thing they hate over and over.

You sound like a lot of fun to be marooned with on a hostile planet.

I understand they might be upset but I don't think reacting to a situation by running into a horde of enemies to die is a solution most people would use even if they were stressed out.

Look for the metal texture on the outside of mountains, it will take longer to find if you just dig straight in.

Is there any future plans to add atmospherics? Like a base that needs to be sealed with an airlock for an inhospitable planet.. and also space suits?

I was thinking about this and it would make for a hilarious Mars colony simulator.

Yah half my colony is retching all the time.

IS there a way to quick trade anything ? Or do you have to drag to add every value instead of just typing a number?

I like when the events coincide, its more fun to see a huge pirate raid take out the drone/mechanoid ships.

The biggest problem I find with a lot of mods is that they expand the craftable actions and already the crafting time is high enough for most things that without a huge colony you really can't produce everything. Its already taking a huge workforce to eat much less craft 200 widgets to combine into a super widget.

The heat system definitely has room for expansion but with some planning you can get it to work quite well. If you're in a hot area though you will probably need to dig a big ventilation shaft into the base and branch off to different areas with coolant systems.

Or alternatively, vent it all into a 1 tile room that leads to nowhere which I imagine would probably work.

Personally I would like something that allows two rooms to be connected for the purposes of heating but sealed for the purposes of room definition, basically a ventilation grille. The most helpful thing I find at the moment is to not put doors on things, as bigger rooms are easier to normalise.

Temperature is definitely cool _{_(heh)} and I want to experiment with a corridor I can lower to about 20 kelvin at will, see how it affects raiders Even mechanoids suffer hypothermia around -75C.

Can you even do this though? Don't the rooms have to be separated with a door? And then the door would block dudes coming in and once its opened does the temperature normalize? Or does this happen over a zone so it wears off after the breach and enemies have tow ander through your cold spot ?

The whole map will slowly equalise towards the exterior temperature, with interior being slower than the outside. So, if the sun comes up and sets the outside temperature to 20 degrees, the interior will slowly equalise towards that, but it proably won't get there because it'll retain the cool of the night for longer. Similarly it will also cool down slower when the sun goes down again. Interiors spaces should have less natural diurnal variance than the outside.

On top of this, each room maintains its own temperature, temperature does not pass through solid boundaries, which includes doors. So if a room has a heater in it, it will heat that room and no further. A door being open doesn't affect this, if the door is destroyed then it will connect the two and they will share a temperature.

So you can jam a door open by putting something on the tile and forbidding it, which allows invaders through but shouldn't make the room open. You're right that if invaders just smashed their way in it would break it, but I think they will go through open doors.

So they share the temperature immediately or it equalizes over time ?

When two rooms join it immediately equalises.

I'm sort of hoping that will change, you could do more with temperature variations within spaces though the current system is at least stable and very scalable.

Ah ok that sucks. I hope its get changed to more of a heat map by tile, so you could really freeze the poo poo out of an area as a form of defense or heat it up.

How do you survive/get metal on non-mountainous maps?

I've been trying to get away from immediately hiding in a hole for the challenge but the lack of nearby metal makes it very very hard. And trade isn't often enough (or I get 5 exotic goods in a row) to get reliable supplies.

I feel like every mod fucks the trading system up. Because randomly traders will disappear forever and then suddenly I get ten traders in a row. Whereas unmodded it seems more regular.

I think they need to adjust the amount a person hauls or do something with the hauling system. My colonists can almost never keep up with all the hauling that needs done, and thats with toolbelt mods that increase productivity.

Cmon you fat fucks I think you can carry more than 1 medicine at once or whatever. Seems like the time to complete a task is way out of line with the amount of tasks that need done.

Or even a temporary zone option where all colonists will focus on completing any work available in a given area, so you could drag and drop and they would only focus there.

How often should events occur? I haven't played in a few versions but it seems every game I play now (with a few innocuous mods) turns into no events really happening or escalating?

Or did they change the story teller casandra to be more spread out?

How long does it take to hit late game ?

I feel like I spend several hours getting to a stable point, then something wrecks it, or the game stagnates and I'm really using the dev speed up to just get tasks done/wait for skills to level and proceed along tech path.

Like a needlessly long amount of time.
