I think the game currently is very punishing to players with low level cooks. It seems like you have a very high chance to poison people below a certain threshold.

While I think the game needs to punish low skill cooks, there isn't enough variety. It should be something like:

LVL 1-2: high food poisoning chance
LVL 3-4: chance to fail and not produce food like how construction fails.
LVL 5-6: chance to make food that tastes as bad as nutrient paste

At lowest level your cook would have a chance to have any of those 3 failures occur, not just food poisoning.

It would add a bit of variety to the failures I think.

Basically it would just prioritize keeping them at a safe temp first and foremost. If that need can be met without them having clothes on, then they would take off their clothes.

Alternatively they'd just not get the debuff from coats since they are technically 'nude' underneath

Well of course they would begrudgingly wear clothes (and be uncomfortable) - but the thing i'm arguing is that they would actually wear the clothes.

If i set one of my nudist pawns to the nudist clothing designation, they won't even attempt to wear a jacket in winter. This is the thing that needs changing. Even if a pawn is assigned to nudist, they should make an effort to keep their body temperature safe, first and foremost.

I think nudist is a trait that needs rethinking. In biomes where you need to give people a parka to wear (or risk them getting hypothermia), it's basically a permanent mood debuff.

Nudist should only apply to pants and shirts, not jackets/hats/body armor. You shouldn't punish people for trying to keep their dumbass pawns from freezing to death because clothes make them grumpy.

Does anyone actually know a nudist in real life that is so staunchly against wearing clothes that they'd rather risk hypothermia in the middle of winter than wear a jacket?

well the thing is, at the time of receiving that message, there wasn't a single raider corpse on the map. the last raid i had was almost a month ago. so that option wasn't even on the table.

I'm not saying the deals have to be fair, they could be asking for 100% of the player's herbal medicine and in return offering a weapon or something - a very risky trade involving the player losing all their healing supplies.

However, the deals should be semi-realistic and based on what the player has in stock. Don't waste the player's time with outlandish requests of 300x human leather or some other nonsense like that. Even if you slaughter every human being in your colony and have only one guy left with a million mood debuffs to carry all the leather, i doubt you'd even have 300 total.

That would also be acceptable.

Personally, i think this event sucks. Here are some images to help explain.

First problem: The randomly generated thing that these people request from your settlement is often so ludicrous that it makes the rest of their offer irrelevant. Where am i going to get 340 human leather from?

Second problem: it's also stupid from a storytelling standpoint. You're gonna tell me that this band of colonists will trade me a masterwork LMG, a plasteel dresser and some Luciferium for 23 cowboy hats? What kind of idiotic trade deal is that?

I think this event has a place in the game, but it needs a severe overhaul. Restrict the quantity being asked for based on what the player has. If the player has 100 herbal medicine, then the mission will never ask for more than 100 herbal medicine. This makes the trade deals feasible and worth considering. If your trade deal asks the player for 300 herbal medicine but they only have 100, there's no way they can even partake in the trade deal even if they wanted to.
