Just lost my second colony to beavers, or more precisely, complacency.
Just like some of the others, I saw the beavers show up and instantly thought about the food and leather aspect of it.
Sent my two best at firearms to take them down, but it was too early as the beavers were all grouped together. Instantly they all attacked, and both hunters went down before I could get others into the fight. Demetri's husband was killed right off, while my main character lay injured. All of the beavers were eventually taken out, but after losing one of the six colonists, all others except for one eventually died from a lack of proper medical care shortly after.
I was playing on an easier setting, under Rob's storyline. Immediately after losing the colonists, I had two dropped in, with a third that requested rescue. Needless to say, Rob made the story interesting by giving me completely worthless colonists to replace the others, but I decided to finally call it quits to try another biome out. I have to admit too that I had a good laugh out of all of it.
In the end it wasn't the toxic fallout, volcanic winter, dry thunderstorms, heatwaves, or raiders that took down my colony, but rather complacency in dealing with something that shouldn't have gone so horribly wrong.
