Howdy!

I'm not sure about most of you, but knife wielding pirate bands are my weakness. They destroy what little defenses I set up, destroying my entire colony in a matter of moments. (Literally)

Does anyone have any strategies for defending against them? It seems going toe to toe with them is ineffective, as they seem to have high melee levels. I normally employ sandbags and turrets, though they make quick work of them all. Embrasures are always a good choice, but I'm playing vanilla at the moment!

Thanks in advance! 

If you keep the blasting charges in game, you can just blow it up. I place two or three around it without ever touching the ship, and nothing comes out. Then *kaboom* ship gone, just a few mechs left around.

Seems to work alright, though I received an error when selecting one of my colonists to edit:

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

If you'd like, I can try to recreate it and send you the full report it gave.

You make an excellent point.

Is it even possible to have an enclosed space be considered outdoors?

Hello fellow RimWorlder's!

I'm very silent on the forums, but I've finally found myself in a situation that I can't think of a solution for.

After a massive raid, about 6 of my 10 people tried to leave the colony. I, in my infinite wisdom, arrested them all! No one leaves! Shortly afterwards a massive food shortage was created and two people beat each other to death. Long story short I've reconverted all of my (surviving) colonists except one Miss Sass. She's a very plain woman, nothing special, except that she has a 13 construction skill. (She was also a starting character. I like those people.) I've been trying to recruit her for days, but at a 9% chance, I'm not having much luck. Being cooped up for so long however, has caused her to get cabin fever. I've tried and tried, but I can't come up with a way to get her outdoors without allowing her to escape and then recapture. Any other suggestions for a confined outdoor space?

In reply to Mad, I've had the same issue with Chrome. IE and Firefox would bring up "File Loaded" after loading the file, but it would never display. I was able to open, modify, and save the cleared map that is available on the page, but I can't get it to load in RimWorld.
