After upgrade to A10 I've noticed one interesting thing.
I usually play iron mode (save only during game exit, no reloads to avoid disasters)
In my first game I lost my colony after disastrous conduit malfunction that resulted with fire in storage. Well I said to myself, never happened that before. My thoughts on power conduits usually failed outside of building, easily contained... but indoor fire was always a risk to contain, and with my entire food reserve in peril I tried to extinguish it and failed :)
Two games after that, same thing happened. Fire caused by conduit in my only food storage... :), luckily it was summer, I let fire destroy my supplies and restocked prior winter kicked in.
Sadly, no screenshots, i remembered to take them a bit too late (like during writing this post ;D )
Not sure if this is done on purpose, likenew story arc that instigate food shortages, but I learned my lesson... keep several food storages, well-spaced!
Be well!
I think I might have had a fire in my freezer once since the update. One of the things I really hate about using batteries.
Never had it inside my freezes before (luckily...) but I did get one that destroyed my research table :o luckily all my research was done allready :D
I've had a couple of frozen food storage fires in an earlier version which were both the result of pirate incendiary mortar fire. I foolishly attempted to extinguish them with disastrous results.
Haven't played enough A10 to have a battery shortage and I don't recall a battery shortage ever dooming a colony (fingers crossed I never see one).
Not directly connected with power conduit malfunction, but it is disaster with freezer on fire, and funny to see non the less :D

If you've never had an indoor fire roast all of colonists alive while they're bravely trying to stamp it out, you're missing out 8)
either forbid all the doors and let it burn out or quickly deconstruct a door/wall to the outdoors to let out the heat. Also sometimes a squad of dudes with machine guns is the best way to deconstruct something.

i find a single dude with a grenade works better
You can also quickly put a no roof region on a few squares of the room to take the temp down so they can put the fire out. Then you replace the roof and rebuild the interior. I have fires in the freezer and battery building all the time, Really a pain. I also leave a small no roof block in the corner of my geothermal buildings for that reason.
Holy crap it's like 600°C in there and they all just rush into the room xD
We really need some sprinkler systems for our mountain bunkers.
