Do you save and reload? Do you accept whatever happens to your colony? Will you reload if a death is unsatisfactory or felt unfair?
I've only reloaded twice, and both were because a colonists died because a roof collapsed. I did not want to lose a good colonist that way, I felt it wasn't satisfying in a narrative sense, so I reloaded. I also once reloaded a squirrel invasion death, because I had just lost a colony to squirrels and was very frustrated. The colony would later die to six centipedes and four scythers, we managed to kill the scythers but the centipedes just chew through everything, I think we only managed to kill two.
Anyway, I try not to reload unless the death is more frustrating than fair. I also always delete the colony after it is dead.
