you mean rogue ?
rouge is red, in french.

First try :
Cross lived in his 4x4 base through the first winter without too many problems. during spring/summer, he focused on an extension for a new hydroponic basin, increasing the base to 9x4, but bad calculation: no more steel for a third heater, and no way to find some before the second winter knocked on the door. Result : the hydroponic rice grew a little bit slowly in the cold. Cross had no other option than to eat raiders when food became low, after a few "hiding in a room" breakouts, a "berzerk" breakout send him far away from the base, where he froze to death.
Sooo close to the end of the winter... Poor Cross...
hop hop, rewind and start again.

Thanks so much for all your constructive replies, i received much more feedback than I was expecting !
As soon as I have a few hours, i'll focus on replacing solar with wind, improving my battery setup, and adding an orbital trade beakon + communication console. I'll stay away from the nutritient paste for now. The overall Layout will probably change a lot, I'll pay attention to all your comments about wall insulation, etc...
Maybe I'll send a new screenshot when that's all done...

Thanks again !

Greetings,

My first post on this forum, but i read you since several weeks, gathering useful information... 
I've spent some time planning my next Sea-Ice colony. I'm still experimenting with the game, and I feel like I need some advises on my layout.

I'll go with the rich explorer, probably cannibal for an easier start (yes, sorry ), but still randy rough. And a deadly freezing map, of course... I'll start with the little layout on the right of the pic. The main goal will be to find the perfect mate and expand till I reach the whole thing on the left side. No interest in building a big colony this time, it will be only for 2, + occasional prisoner/patient/food (empty room bottom left side)
I tried some Sea-Ice maps before, but I always ended up disappointed on some placements I did early on, reason why I'm planning the next one ahead... 

If you have any advises or critics about it... maybe about the battery setup and electricity in general... maybe the hydro farm is a little bit big for 2 ? there are probably plenty of things that are not optimal yet...



Thanks in advance for your help.

PS.: I was about to write "happy rimming", but as English is not my mother language, I decided to google it first...
I'll just say happy gaming.
