No... not by the neck, and no, not what your thinking...

I have a colonist that is sitting at the dinner table and doing nothing.  If I click on HER (told you it wasn't what you were thinking), I get some really basic stat, like 100/100 and lose all control of my other colonist.   Bugged presumably.  Where should I send the save file? (7mb)

I've been fooling around with the different storytellers:

Randy Random can be challenging at the beginning, but settles into a easily sustainable game within a few hours.  I use Randy when I want to have >20 colonist.

Phoebe Friendly is great for playing around with base designs when you don't want to be hassled.

Cassandra Classic is proving a challenge.  I seldom get over 14 colonist, with various losses sometimes not being made up by the very rare slave trader or wanderer later in the game.   I actually managed to keep 11 alive from start to near-finish, until one got mauled by a muffalo while outside collecting.  Those and boomrats are a real pain.  I think that when defending against 50+ Raiders, kill boxes are pretty much required, with blast charges doing most of the work, and turrets/colonist doing cleanup.

Has anyone come up with a sustainable killbox design that is 100% effective against any number of raiders using the CC storyteller?  I'd love to try and build a large colony (e.g. 50+ colonist) using CC, but am not sure that is even possible  - between the every  two or three day raids, and the low recruitment opportunities, I'm just not getting there.   I've come close, but raids during solar flares causes losses that I haven't been able to recover from, and sooner or later, those get you.

Any suggestions?  I need some inspiration!

Thanks in advance.
