New mid-game research: Early Warning System

Researched: sometime after the electronic research bench.
Unlocks: The EWS. a 2x2 security device. costs components/steel. once it is built it provides a chance to detect a raid and alert the player early. For example: Player receives the red letter raid alarm. With the EWS built the player can have a fixed chance (simple percentage), or a sliding chance (based on size, stealthiness, direction, weather, etc of the raid) of an early warning. The actual raid spawns 2-4 in-game hours AFTER the red letter alert. Could include approximate size and direction of the raid.

New Late-Game research: Skywatch
Researched sometime after advanced components. Requires the EWS prerequisite.
Unlocks: The Skywatch Net(tm). 3x2 security device. requires advanced components/plasteel, maybe uranium or gold also. Once built it functions exactly as the EWS, except it works for Transport pod raids.

I have always felt like the colony should have a chance to "see it coming", and have some small amount of time to put down their pitchforks and grab their simple helmets.

It is 2nd year of a tribal start and I just cleared my Ancient Danger. Is there a value to keeping the caskets around, or should I dismantle them for parts?

Woot!!!

to make a short story long, I have an "organ donor" who would love to donate their eyes, since they can sense that their time in this world is growing short. The issue is that both eyes have cataracts, and nobody on the transplant waiting list is willing to take a chance on getting cataracts with their new eye. So the question is, does the organ retain its condition when it is removed and transplanted, or does the organ become "pristine" with a clean install? I could find out the hard way I suppose...

So, I set up the stove with cooking limits. The stove will show the bills as suspended, but the cook keeps churning out the meals. The meals show up in storage, and the cook is not "forced" to cook. Anyone else seen this lately?
