after 3 months of slow and careful, safe game play. I decided to up the ante and went for Random Randy!
On Base Builder...HA!
Randy - might be hard
But I chose Base Builder, so really how bad can he make it?
I have 3 colonists with awesome abilities! Smart, they all shooyt, a great animal tamer and good, a pretty grear miner and builder.
I get a room, beds, buther table, plant healroot (arid shrublands- so I start with a good healroot gardener!).
Working on that Researsch Table- I like to get Passice Coolers as quickly as possible in Arid Shrublands.
DAY 10- halfway through building the research table.. EXTREME HEAT WAVE! all 3 colonists down for the count.
I said yes to an esacped refugee all the same.
My people DIE as soon as he gets on board, New Guy has to grab a gun of a dead body to fight the raiders himself! (he beat them)
Randy takes pity. Sends an escape pod the next day.
So I have 2 colonists.
They will work almost anything, too!
But all their skill levels are mostly 0 and 1.
Thanksfully Mia planted both rice and healroot before she died, or else they would not have food or meds!
couple days later. BLIGHT.
was it the rice field that Herrara can replant with her skill level 1?
no. it's the Healroot.
sigh.
this might be a short game....
I am beginning to see how this Random Randy thing works....
Randy can be cruel and he can be kind. He can also have some very funny moments like when he sends a man hunter pack and then follows it up with a siege.
Guess who gets killed by the man hunters, not me.
