Title: Alpha 8 | Boreal forest
Post by: peterTX on December 19, 2014, 05:04:13 PM
Hello, I'm Peter from the UK.

Join me and my unlucky colonists in a Boreal Forest

Mode: Cassandra
Rules: No hydroponics for food & everyone will get hurt at least once.

you can use fertilizer plants to create internal growing areas, the plants require heat and light.

either way, good luck.

Thanks for the tip, with the soil I have I don't need the fertilizer pump (just the heaters & Sun lamp), but I am going to try getting a large stockpile of food (freeze) and hunt/trade for the rest if possible.

May even keep a few raiders on deep freeze in case it gets desperate.

Hopefully you have seen one or more of the videos in the playlist.

So, could you please make any recommendations?
Not just on the colony, but the videos in general?


Allways looking for impartial advice to improve.

if you can keep internal temps around 15C you'll find colonist should cope easily with heat and cold differences. Also buried victory meat lasts longer than bodies in the open air :3

gg with the Mekianoids

Mechanoids are always scary, I would like an EMP launcher with the range of a sniper rifle so that EMPs actually have a use, as you have to be too close for the grenades.

If using human meat, I always store it in a freezer, that way it never goes off.

Good point about the temperatures, 15C is a nice middle ground for inside, but I prefer to be on the higher side to help when solar flairs hit and shut down your heaters.

...Centipedes adapt...

That they do, That is why I would like a long range EMP, so when they adapt you can RUN...

in theory the next few alphas could introduce differing tactics for enemy ai.
While some raiders attack some with flank at the same time.
... Centipedes adapt...
while you watch the centipedes in front there could be one behind you hiding in the bushes :P

can't wait for predator animals.

Getting close to the end game.

Need advice as to what biome to do next...

Desert, with extreme high temperatures
Ice sheet, with extreme low temperatures
Or any other ideas that would be interesting???

and any interesting mods to look out for?
Title: Re: Alpha 8 | Boreal forest
Post by: FridayBiology on January 29, 2015, 07:58:54 PM
Desert and Coastal, you'd have little wood and soil in the beginning and Summer everything would burn.

Plenty of people doing Icesheet(extreme cold)
Title: Re: Alpha 8 | Boreal forest
Post by: peterTX on February 02, 2015, 01:39:33 PM
Good point,
I think I will do Desert next, the lack of trees + heat should be interesting.

We did it, We escaped that icy hell hole. Onwards and forwards, everything is going to be great from now on.
