Nah I like the idea I cave Inez. Outside my colonists have a small chance of being struck my lightning - an 'outside downside' -inside should have a comparable and similar downside

Yup that's pretty much what I think. If we just had a similar item to the cooler that heated to X temp we could use that corridor for heat transfer as well.

"Showing off your colonies by screenshot" is more general then "Videos"?
Maybe "Media"?

Whys that a downside? It works just as well as any stock features.

There is a mod that does this. Powerswitches it's called or something similar. You can choose 'on if colonist in room' or on if colonist within 8 squares' as well as timers and enemy detect.

Nah I can make my own heating ducts. Just need a heating alternative version of the cooler (draws hot air warms target room to X temp) and a large heater/cooler. A 1 square wide corridor behind all my rooms which the heater draws from (and coolers exhaust into) and I'm set.

It would be cool if the robots could give you their armour to build with.
It would be a stronger version of other walls I think granite is 575 hp so it could be 700.
They do. Its called plasteel

But then how would I pull the parts off them - which I assume will be added in the future I could easily see the minigun being a job to pull off instead of it just breaking off as a man usable weapon.

Unless it's really hot or really cold. My current base rooms will drop to below 0 over night without power, while others will stay just above it while others still will get to -50.

Indeed.
1. Get the IceSheet mod if you don't have it (enables ice sheet biome).
2. View the map in Temperature view (rather than Full).
^Exactly this^
Ice sheet biomes usually have no animals to hunt and no growing season, forcing you to rely on purchased food & hydroponics. Summer temperatures usually are below 0F, with the winter getting as low as -80F on some seeds I've seen.
I've seen them go below -120

-snip-
Seed: 0bac
Size: 250, 188
Cords: 52, 184
has a very nice map for the ice sheets. Drops below -100 in the winter and has a very cool starting location
Because that is one of the sizes that you can set the world generator to: 250x188
i have one question why is the size of the map both 250 And 188?

Yeah they prefer the closest stockpile if the prioritys are the same. If you have them set to the same and have more then enough to fill them they will spill over and fill up the others (starting at the next closest).

yup. I was actually working on making a story board on it, so I have screen caps of the whole thing. He eventuallyhad a mental break due to starvation because 'reasons' (I think there was a blight and I didn't notice my packed freezer went to empty and I didn't notice) and wondered off into the snow - not a problem tho! His factions next visit left me with 3 or so new moochers.

"Great! Now the guy who sleeps on the couch is having partys!"

"Wait, I have to pay for this shit?"

"Well screw that, I'm going home!"
