I put RW down for A15...really looking forward to A16 and starting again!   

When I created my fridge storage zone I did the usual - hit clear all items, then selected the specific types of foods/corpses I wanted moved to my fridge.  The food worked fine, but the corpses didn't work initially...I had to play with changing the all/specific corpse types on/off until I finally got my colonists to recognize which corpses I wanted in the fridge (i.e.; only animals). 

I then had a raid and decided to create a stockpile zone for human corpses - but I could not get my colonists to recognize the zone (I ended up burying them instead). 

I never had this problem in A14.  (I started on A14, but I've played about 60 hours so I'm pretty familiar with the game now)

Has anyone else had a similar experience in A15?

Here are the mods I'm using in the order they load (kinda busy now, but if I get time tonight I'll create a new colony with no mods and see if that's the issue):
Vegetable Garden
[T] MoreFloors
EdB Prepare Carefully
Extended Prosthetics and Organ Engineering
Fences
Miniaturization
[T] MoreBedsVanilla
Muzzy-Utils
Xeva's Rimhair

Thanks!

Hopefully this uploads...by the way, I'm largely ignoring the defense on the area on the right (east) because it's behind mountains...so it's really just the 2 southern access points and the one to the west (by the geo plant) I'm worried about.

Before I start - I'm fairly new to the game (about 40 hours total - all with A14), and still learning how to deal with raiders...

I play with Phoebe on Rough difficulty.

In my current game I have 7 colonists - 3 are non-violent, 2 have no combat skills, 1 has ranged 11, 1 has ranged 5.  One of the non-violent colonists does have an arctic wolf pet that is trained to be released.  My base is in a mountain and I have wall/trap defenses on all 3 access spots with about 6 wooden traps in each access lane (can't afford steel traps).  And, I have 3 turrets - 2 in range of each access spot.

On a bright note, I have a geothermal generator and a couple windmills - so power isn't an issue.

So, my question is, how many turrets do you think an access spot needs in order to make up for my lack of combat colonists?

Also, any other defensive suggestions since I can't seem to get colonists that will fight?

Thanks!

Good suggestion on the steam review - I just posted one.  (first steam review I've ever done  )

Maybe they are getting attacked but they are too drunk to realize it?   

Also, just checking...it is the colonists and not the player that's drinking, right?   

I'm fairly new at the game, so take this for what it's worth, but do you have things to give your colonists joy?  I had lots of sanity problems initially, but not since I focused on things like making sure they have a table to eat at, horse shoes or something similar to play, fine meals every few days, clean rooms with a decent floor, lighting, etc.   I still get the occasional mental break - but not as often as I did the first few colonies I attempted.

Also, I keep randomizing colonists so I can avoid attributes like lazy, slothful, pyro, depressive, etc.  (unless the colonist has some amazing stats/traits I really need).

As one of those new players that bought it on Steam - just want to say gratz to Tynan on an amazingly fun and well constructed game!  I'm looking forward to seeing what gets added in the future (although I can see myself putting in hundreds of hours with what's already there).

As a new player on a SurfacePro 4 (default resolution 2736x1824), thought I'd bump this one.  I can work around it by (fairly significantly) lowering the resolution, but it would be better if I just had an option to make the fonts about 50% larger.

By the way - great game!!
