Beacons can be made in the advanced modifier workstation, the compact research terminal can be traded for, but not built afaik. Which is somewhat agravating seeing as trading becomes a lot harder when your comm console burns down.

I do think the oil refinery produces a lot of power while also producing a trade goods only useable to produce more power (atleast what I've discovered so far).

For the trap hole, I just don't play with it. If it made terrain impassable though, it would not really work as a trap anymore as enemy pawns wouldn't trigger it anymore.

Anyone else having issues creating certain components? Everything else works fine, but I cannot seem to make fertilizer pump engines for the fertilizer pumps. I got all the materials needed crafted, got a citizen with 15 crafting and he still refuses to make it. The only weird thing I see is that the recipee allows for mechanical engines to be added, but only requires mechanical components. Hopefully there is something obvious I missed.

I used to forbid my minigun-toting colonists from hunting, but then I got lazy...
Surprisingly enough noone has died from hunting accidents so far in my new colony, got a couple lost limbs though.

Using shotgunners to hunt sounds like a really smart idea, if the friendly fire gets too severe I might swap to that.
