Is there any way to assign a specific meal to colonists? I would like to feed my needy colonists the nicer meals but all my colonists automatically eat them, even when they don't need the mood buff. I haven't been able to locate any way to forbid or assign meals to people.

I thought I was the only one. I have the same problem. I am running EDB interface too. I'll have to try disabling it.

+1 on this mod being awesome! Looking forward to the update.

The ability to force colonists to prioritize specific crafting jobs.

Where can I find a list of features for A9? I must be blind.

Wow I had no idea the keybinds worked for positioning too. That is great. I don't imagine there is a mod to tell all my colonists to gear up for battle? That is the most tedious part once you get a decent amount of colonists. I'm usually too lazy to re-equip everyone so they just fight in their t-shirts and parkas haha.

Do the AI attacks get larger and larger forever or is there a maximum size that they can reach?

What is the difference between an Ore Extractor and a Mine? And how do I make a fissure for the Ore Extractor?

What is the best way to deal with sieges? My latest colony finally succumbed to a massive siege that I couldn't deal with. I know I didn't have any big firepower to shoot back at them with but how do you obtain big guns (mortars and so forth)? I haven't seen any available from any traders. One thing I wish the game had was a crafting master list for all the different tables, showing what all you could make, even if you need to research things first.

Aha. That is good. I thought it was kind of weird that they would ask for the map size twice. It's all coming together.

On the screen where you're deciding where you want to locate your colony, there's a map size option (if that's what you're asking about).

I use 325x325 pretty regularly, but that might be too big for some people who like tighter colonies with less hauling.

Ah, I thought that was just the size of the world, not each colony in the world.

Thanks!

Are colonies always the same size? I don't see any way to make them larger but I may be missing it.

Doh! I guess I didn’t try drafting to capture the prisoner. And I think my problem with not being able to target things in battle was that I had multiple colonists selected at the same time, which just made them move to the right-clicked spot instead of attacking. Well, I figured I would be making a ton of mistakes on my first few colonies. I’m learning a lot though!

Ahhh how did I not know about that? I was wondering why I couldn’t double click trees. It makes sense that the easiest way would be the same way as mining…

A couple more:

1) A prisoner escaped earlier. As he was escaping I figured I would be able to tell one of my people to go re-capture him, but I wasn’t able to give any orders when I clicked on the prisoner. Is the prisoner just gone once the event begins?

2) Is there any way to target specific enemies when they are attacking? I noticed I can’t right click on enemies and tell my people to attack them, similar to how I couldn’t re-capture my (casually) escaping prisoner.

Also, here is a big one: is there any way to select multiple trees/bushes at the same time? It drives me crazy clicking each one haha.
