Hey guys,
just a quick report on a very annoying bug I've come across multiple times (I couldn't find it here in the forums):
-Whenever a prisoner get's incap'd, I'm unable to order my wardens/colonists to 'save/arrest' them. It just says 'Colonist XY is not a Warden'. It's happened about 3-4 times during the same playthrough, including loads of saves and restarts (spent 12 hours on this colony). Playing on a mac by the way.
It's really annoying because whenever a prisoner goes beserk I'm forced to knock them out (even though they're unarmed) and then just sit and watch as he/she bleeds to death. I tried saving and quitting, doesn't work.
Sidenotes:
I've had multiple raids where the pirates are equipped with Triple Rocket Launchers... it always ends in a ton of friendly fire for them and a couple deaths on my side... really annoying. How do I deal with these apocalypse weapons? They're even killing their own men with it!
The trading could really use a fix. Traders will always, always buy at minimum price. It's irrealistic and annoying. Wouldn't it make sense that the player can participate in the local economy and actually make profit instead of 'Buy this Cobra for 450 Silver but sell it for 120 or less!'. It'd be nice if, say, for example, Slave Traders bought Medicine at medium/high prices- speaking of which I heard there's a 'Trading Caravan' update coming, like in DF, which allows the player to interact more with other factions. Now that's going to be great; actually make the factions a bit more... alive? Functional? They seem kind of hollow right now, you can't do much with them. Just be sure to fix some of the trading prices! Please!
One last thing (my rant is over, no worries), some suggestions:
-Allow player to select number of starting colonists (From 1-7 for example)
-Allow player to select/change 'random pet' - either increase, randomise or disable this part.
-As mentioned above, make factions more interactive
I'm very sorry for the long post, originally I had just intended to report a bug, but I felt like I had lots to say... I hope you see and read this, Tynan. Love the game, glad I participated in the Kickstarter all those years ago.
