If a band of enemies start to siege you in hard fallout or a very harsh winter or summer, they tend to start dropping dead and you can easily wait them out. So, I suggest that raiders no longer siege while there is a setting deadly enough to kill them, so they do not die of radiation sickness, hypothermia, or heatstroke.

In order to fix this, you could add in a "Siege has been called off." response if one of these weather effects happens while they are besieging your colony, and the enemies feel that they can no longer hold out in the conditions presented to them, and have no sieges start in conditions they cannot survive in.

So, when you get a stranger being chased by a group of attackers, you can just allow them into your colony, and if you don't like their stats, you can just leave them there and the attackers will take them as a prisoner and leave. So, that means there is literally no reason to decline the stranger, as you can actively check their stats and then make your decision.

Two ways I can see that would fix this exploit would be:

1. On the screen that says the stranger wants to join, it could show the stranger's skills and health statistics.
2. Only two raiders could take the stranger off as a prisoner, while the rest attack the colony.
