Bowler Hats are evil enough but top hats take the cake. They're evil but daper at the same time.

For those psychopaths out there, just imagine... Humanskin tophats!

I've been attempting to increase goodwill with other factions by sending gifts via drop pods. Apparently they just want to take all the "good" and "excellent" things my crafters take their time to make and give me a measly +18 rating.   

Basically post useful tips that are beneficial within 1.0. There's a lot of change stirring, which has potential for beta testers to post tips so newcomers can be prepared once 1.0 is launched.

Number your tips.. I'll start.

Tip 1: Do not open a ancient building early on, trust me, 4 scythers came out and downed my butt before i can even run a safe distance  away from them.

Dekker, my mediocre animal tamer decided to sit down and chat with muffalos in order to tame them. He feeds them and then proceeds to speak to them about simple things such as swimming, rights, politics, etc. The muffalo apparently joined after hearing about board games.

How does board games and other random things convince a animal to join your colony. Are they curious to watch you play them or are they curious to view the things you spoke of.

Basically predict what you think Tynan is going to name v1.0.

My suggestion...

"A floating demise"

1. Use wood to knock someone out of an mental break without severely damaging them.

Can someone fully explain to me which one would be better in various situations.

I don't mind the tropical swamp being chocked with trees and what not but the fires and flash storms makes it dangerous to live in. Half the map consisted of burned trees since the rain took like 5 hours to come. Rain doesn't even come often. I seem to get hit with more diseases than rain, I thought I was in a tropical swamp...

Apparently kess went all the way across the map to pick up some rice that crash landed and only took 40 back with him. There was like 225 rice and he only pick up 40 wtf?

The disastrous update...

I'm aware that the person inside the cryptosleep casket is in a state of "sleep" or suspension. But wouldn't laying in a casket for years cause severe sores that can cause problems for your pawns. Also being inactive for so long can cause your muscles to weaken which does not support the fact that pawns who emerge from cryptosleep can haul heavy rocks across the map like it's nothing. How are they even able to walk? The cryptosleep sickness does somewhat simulate the condition the person is in when they awaken such as their poor movement and consciousness but it only wears off in a few minutes. Wouldn't this "muscle fatigue" last longer than a few minutes?

I have a whole stockpile of hay waiting for my muffalos to devour it and yet they choose to eat the grass that growing outside. Do animals prefer to eat grass first then hay??

How come I can't get a charge lance from the Scyther? The weapon "magically" disappears once the scyther is killed/downed. I could use that weapon to make killing raiders and animals a bit amusing because of the fact it blows their limps off.

These pawns are starting to get on my nerves about getting a mood debuff after eating without a table instead of walking their lazy ass a couple more feet to a table. I had two colonist break down over not eating without a table.

What do these pawns expect? You dont see me breaking down when I eat without a table. I have never seen anyone complain over not having a table evert time they need to eat. If they cant frickin find a table , they should just sit in the nearest seat and eat their food on their laps. Why do pawns need to be so demanding. ..

Which one is better in which situations?

I'm in an icesheet flat map with barely any steel present on the map. Im in this predicament because I wasnt aware that I choose a flat map instead of a mountainous.  Any ways I can get my hands on some steel?

The moment you view your newly generated map for the first time, how long does it take to plan out your base.

-It currently takes me about an hour just to plan out a medium sized base.

What is going to be the title for Alpha 17
My Suggestions
1. The "Bugfix" Update
That's all I got...

I see traders sell them, so how do I sell them?

I'm not much of an defense building expert as you can detect but... I force raiders in the base with this design and I got a trap on the corner to prevent a raider from taking cover.

This is obviously not enough since my idiot colonist will sometimes miss the raiders and end up getting shot and killed.

What can I do to improve this faulty design.
