6. Hey those are still good, still have my old one and use it for older games from time to time, Q9550 which was OCed to 3.5GHz, tho have it on 3GHz since it doesn't need all that speed now. Back to the point, i did drop the resolution down to 1440p, FPS is still low but it's a bit smoother going across the surface.

3. huh, never thought of that, will do that, got a few shooties in my stash just waiting to be used
Thankfully i don't have any none violent colonists but have a few brawlers so yay.

1. Ahh, well just asked, but will keep an eye on it, thanks

2. Ohhh...that makes so much more sense now, good to know!

3. The thing is, the guys that i use for hunting ofc have the best shooting, if i put shotguns on them for hunting and someone comes to raid they'll be useless (getting a lot of raids that instantly start attacking, so little time to give them another weapon).
What about any incindiary launchers and is there any good skill to have for using the mortar?
Also brawlers, i usually have them in the back to help if someone is injured or if they get too close, can they be used somehow else? (I made them plasteel longswords and one of them operates the mortar)

5. Awesome, thanks

6. Looks good, will check them out. Problem is that the game can get really laggy at points, i have an 8 core xeon and a 980ti and with a big colony i can sometimes barely keep 30fps and there's no quality option (also running at 4K doesn't help, would lower it but my monitor hates that for some reason and sometimes just stops working with the game if it's lower, haven't found any fix yet)

1. Thanks for the tip! I'll try and find the mod, but if i can't, can you be so kind to post the link to it? Ty!

2. I set cleaning/hauling to 1 cause noone was doing it and now they do it when they have time, i have 2 dedicated cleaners and haulers, one of them being just bad at everything else and one being a doc. I'll try to set the cleaning down to 2 if that'll help. Also all my animals have hauling trained (well all that can have it).

3. soooo, no sniper rifles to hunt? What about the shooting skill? What's best to have on people with high skill for shooting and what's best for people who are bad at it? Atm i have good shooters with snipers and bad shooters with machine guns and miniguns.

4. ahh, that could be it, i only have 1 wire running from the batteries, will add more

5. That's what i'm here for, tho don't wanna change the game too much, might later tho, atm i'm just seeing if there are mods that fix some things or make something a bit easier to do/understand.

6. thanks

Hello, i'm new to the game, tho watched quite a few YT videos, played the game quite a bit the last few days but there are like 2-3 things that still boggle my mind, will number my questions for easier answering (yes i do read the wiki aswell to get a hold of some things)

1. Already towards the end game where you build your ship (i guess that's the ''end game''), researched more or less everything except ship parts, will do it later, but atm i want to know, i build 3 transport launchers and pods, i had a mission to deliver 1300 corn to a colony that was 11 days walk away, so the usage of the pods was logical. I decided to just let 1 guy go, added enough food for the walk back and the corn, clicked accept and he started loading, ofc it was slow but the issue was, he wouldn't stop, for nothing, he was joy deprived, tired, hungry...yet kept loading the pod, i could force him to eat but not to sleep or get some joy back, so he was at major/extreme brake risk all the time.
I couldn't get any other colonist to help load so he was on his own and even when he entered the pod, it was still not finished loading, but since he was in it, noone was loading the damned thing. Was this a bug or something else? If it's just how the game is, is there a mod that could help make that easier? Cause it's annoying as hell.

2. I have a farm plot a bit further from the main colony (tho not that far overall, my mortars minimum range is half way to the plot, so it's like 60-70...something away) but i don't see my farmers go there often and when they do, i have to force my colonists to pick it up cause it will otherwise rot since noone picks it up (cleaning and hauling are at 1, seems to be the best atm, tho could be wrong), too far away?

3. it said in the helper that colonists don't shoot eachother if someone is infront of them cause they shoot over their shoulder (rip ears) but i still saw my colonists get shot, be it right behind one another or far away (not counting miniguns and such), i'm guessing that's normal? Is the helper wrong in that part then?

Atm those are the questions that jump to my head, thanks for all the help in advance

EDIT: one more question that poped up
4. can the ''Zzzt'' aka the short in the wires be lowered or something? Does it have to do with terrain or is it random?
