I'm tempted to start building tunnels through the mountains near my base and setting up rooms inside of there. Does anyone know the temperature range that megascarabs and megaspiders are comfortable within? I'm tempted to try setting up heaters to cook them to death for when they spawn.

It's basically a built in chat room where you can talk to other players on that server. Also lets you send your shit to them too.

Those are coolers... the red side exhausts the heat... you have heaters to heat areas, am I missing something?

Nope, just on the same server, I think the mod maker has a server up pretty much all the time, but you can host your own as well.

Yea I got fucked. I only had 3 shooters out of six colonists and one of them got one shot early, the rest were non-violent/brawlers. Also my trap placement was shit, I should've built them around the ship instead in front of the sandbags like an idiot

>>153357893
Probably the safest way I've dealt with those ships is someone with a sniper rifle. That gun outranges scyther agro range as they patrol around the ship, letting you plink them off.

>>153357325
>>153358060
cant you just mortar it

>>153358153
I wouldn't trust the mortar to hit the same fucking map that it's on, nevermind a crashed ship.

>>153358060
You have to micro that shit like crazy, though. One false move and your sniper loses a limb.

>>153358672
It'll hit just fine... as long as the raiders are using it

Fuck, mods aren't updating fast enough. Do you guys still play A14 or have you moved to A15? Also, favorite mods?

>>153358731
Nah. I would literally just sit on the very edge of the aggro range and go do something else until the sniper needed food or some joy. I don't tell the sniper to attack the ship, I just have them moved just far enough to engage whatever comes into range.

Another neat thing is that they outrange centipede weapons, so you can never get hit by them if you micro them.

Can you melee those fat mechanoids? What about scythers? The latter sounds dangerous. Is the former, too?

>>153358895
yes

but you won't live because mechanoid melee is the most deadly melee

>>153359886
How? They don't have any scythes or something, I assume? They look fat and clumsy.

Is there a difference in standing among colonists? Like prisoner, slave, ect...

>>153372447
I have never seen any survivors I've ever saved pay back the favor by staying with the colony, save for raid-escapees, and I don't think cryo survivors would be any different.

>>153376064
Infections and diseases that have severities (e.g. minor, major, extreme) will kill the colonist once it progresses past extreme. It stops progressing once the colonist reaches 100% immunity. Immunity is gained over time, gets a bonus if they're in bed, and has negatives if they're old, hungry, tired, or missing a kidney. Progression can be slowed by being treated, and I believe it slows more if treated with a skilled doctor and better medicine.

>>153377863

At the start of the game, 2x generator are more than enough. Later, space out with batteries, wind generators and solar panels, use research to get geothermals at priority #4-5

>>153377923
none, but if you do obedience training they could get attached to your handler and than when they die your handler will be sad

If i'm just making simple meals, is there a reason why I would want to grow a diverse group of crops, or is 1 just fine.

>>153377923
Some animals can be trained as haulers, which is pretty useful. You don't want them running around outside your defenses, though.

>>153377923

Keep animals that can be trained to haul, other skills are useless. Pigs seem to be quite good at that.

eggs and hay has to be under a roof bc it detoriates. Animals won't care if they're under the sky or under a roof, so I usually don't bother and just build them a room with a sunlamp that grows hay.

you can put solar panels in front of and behind your wind turbines without disrupting airflow

That's pretty good. I had a pirate faction called the Assassins of Power. It makes me think of some unknown group from the old He-Man cartoon.

The game wiki also suggests that taming and training boomrats and boomalopes to allahu ackbar your enemies is both viable and hilarious.

Just pray that no one bonds to them.

I have done this and it is hilarious. Kind of requires a constant animal handler if you want to keep a supply of them, though. I wonder if boomalope explosions do more damage or make more fire than boomrats, though.

Yeah, but they sure as hell don't need 18 sun lamps. Three sun lamps and loads of hydroponics is more than enough to keep a colony alive.

>>153381506
>>153382000

instead of using geothermals use solar panels instead

plants rest at night so you don't need power at night anyway

isolate your greenhouses from the rest of your base so your lamps don't drain the main base power at night

Ehhhh thats kinda dumb, anon.
Animals can get hypothermia, so yes you want a roof.
Just set up a stockpile inside the animal room with kibble and hay or whatever as the only allowed items and set priority to important.

And personally I only bother with 1 or 2 animal beds for healing purposes. Its doubtful all of your animals are suddenly going to be injured.

>>153384797

Yes animals can reproduce. How would I get my Alpaca and Cows colony going?

Don't let your animals run around in the wilderness if you don't want them pregnant. Same logic applies to daughters.

>tfw no trade caravan or spaceship have chickens anymore.

If you select a colonist and click the "i", you can see skill details. If you select "research speed" it'll tell you what affects their research speed. I'm pretty sure manipulation is important for it.

>>153410496
Get a few of the centipedes and they'll friendly fire the fuck out of one another. Otherwise, just pour fire into it. If you have someone disposable you could run up and have him hit it to prevent it from firing, but he'll probably die. They are surprisingly effective in melee. Charge rifles do well against them, since they're so fuckin big any decent shooter will hit them a majority of the time. Fully bionic men with power armor, brawler, and a very good weapon/power claw, can take one in melee somewhat reliably.

Mechanoids also get BTFO by bugs. In fact, through testing in dev mode, I can say bugs are some of the most powerful enemies in the game if they get big enough. A bug colony with 15+ hives can destroy a 8000 point mechaniod raid, since scythers are fragile and megaspiders out class centipedes in melee once you get a few of them. The only thing that will really ruin a big enough hive is fire.

/rant

I remember there being some social buff or mood boost from killing difficult enemies like mechanoids or pirate kings

was this removed or a mod or did i just imagine it?

Centipedes are shit in melee but they'll queue up and fire off a volley if you attempt to engage them right away. Get someone with a pistol to draw their attention from a doorway and then draft everyone and have them bumrush the centipede. You'll probably win.

Wait for escape pods to crash, capture more people from raids, buy slaves, take in people fleeing tribes/pirates, or get lucky and have wanderers join you. Get someone with better social to be your recruiter, recruitment rates should never be that low unless you went with a Tribal start since no one wants to join Tribals.

>>153418646
Rooms gain the spacious buff at....7x7 I believe?

>>153418646
That depends on a lot of factors. Each colonist consumes ~1 nutrition per day (variable depending on injuries, moods, etc.). A single tile of strawberries on 100% quality soil will produce 0.07 nutrition per day and cooking it into a simple meal will increase value by 50%. So if you have 3 growing seasons and a chef, you should probably have at least 13 tiles of strawberries per colonist. More in the event of disasters.

Room size will be variable depending on what you want out of them. A 7x7 room is enough to give a colonist happy thoughts on space, so if you don't have mood boosts coming from anywhere else, give them some room to breathe. If you're letting them use social drugs or have fine art everywhere, or you're making fine meals, or you're shaping your environment to be beautiful with flowers and trees, you can afford to have smaller rooms. Try to give everyone a double bed and a heater/cooler to survive harsh temperatures though, so at least 5 tiles of space.

Sometimes raiders will show up with emp grenades. Think of their effect like paralysis on any JRPG. Sometimes they're stunned, sometimes they aren't but they're stunned for a loooooooong time.

first of all you should be butchering anybody who doesn't have the cannibal trait

>casuals can't handle food supply so they just go cannibal and eat raiders

no thanks

I think it depends on the construction skill of the deconsructor

I don't think I've ever got less than half, more like 75-90%.

my megatherium keeps eating my roses
why can't it just eat grass?

Aim for maximum efficiency with food production. That means turn everything that you can into either pemmican or simple meals. Pemmican uses 0.5 nutrients worth of materials and produces 0.9 nutrients worth of pemmican, simple means are 0.5 to 0.85 nutrients. Don't tame animals. No animal has a good nutrient conversion factor and they're only worthwhile early on if you're having them graze on wild grasses, essentially converting wild grass into milk/meat/eggs. If you can get ~100 tiles of crops going you should be able to subsist well enough until you're more setup. Otherwise hunt everything in the area into extinction.

>next trader comes
>buy a bunch of whiskey and sake
>megatheriums sprint towards the sake
>2 pass out
>1 wild megatherium dies and is hauled in
>check corpse

>leave downed raider to bleed to death because I don't want anyone around to get the debuff when she dies
>they casually mop up the blood she's hemmoraghing and continue working

no idea why it's so funny

roses are easier to plant than grass, don't complain

not being able to put enemy incap people out of their misery unless you're a psycho is pretty stupid desu

i wish you could at least like pick them up over your shoulder and just have attacking disabled during

you could move downed raiders somewhere so they can die in peace, and maneuver downed comrades somewhere safe during a raid
