Hey all,
I would love to hear the stories of your colonies final moments whether you forgot to research a passive cooler and they died to heatstroke or if you were annihilated by a mechanoid raid I want to hear about it.
For me I was playing a save file for a few months on Rough with Cassandra Classic, I had built up to 12 pawns and everything was going rather well, then on one fateful day the colony came under threat from a mechanoid attack from the south consisting of 7 scythers and 3 centipedes, I move my colonists to the southern sandbags and the 3 non combatants stand by just inside the colony wall for rescue efforts, my Melee colonists flank left and start battering the scythers when I get the pop up for 'Man Hunter', a pack of 8 man hunting cougars were on the way so with that I pull back my melee to defend the snipers, the incoming fire from the mechanoids takes out several wall blocks leaving the inside of my colony open to attack, we retreat to the inner defences, 3 colonists down I use 2 non combatants to try and rescue the downed they each take a couple shots and just as we start pulling back a rocket explodes between them downing both, at this point the cougars are closing in so I have to leave them where they are for now the final mechanoid and centipede enter the base luckily both are close to death and died rather quickly after downing two more colonists leaving 3 melee 1 sniper and 1 non combatant who was hiding in the dining room at this point, just the colonists breathe a sigh of relief 8 cougars come charging in through the broken wall and quickly surround the survivors all of who are badly dinged up, 2 go down quickly and at this point I realise we can't win the fight, I send the two least injured toward the dining room to hide and live leaving the others as bait for the animals, quickly the bait is downed and the cougars come after the two fleeing for their lives, they catch up and down one they rapidly gain on the last, they open the steel door to the dining room and are halfway through when a cougar downs the colonist in one hit jamming the doors open, at this moment I regret very deeply that I only built one entrance to the dining room and watched in disbelief and sadness as my final colonist is downed and my 3 months of on off tending this colony come to an end.
Thanks and I look forward to reading your tales of the end
