I mean like when you trade, the other trader only has so much silver and resources at one time.

The resources regenerate after a long period of time, so does their wealth.

I really don't know....

Instead of random trade incidents, you could have a new trader that cycles every 3-4 in-game days. That way, when you are about to starve to death, you don't have to wait for a trader.

Or when you accidentally burn all of your good clothes, you can buy new ones much faster

My colonist got his brains blown out of his head in a war "accident".

My colonist went berserk and got killed.

Several of my colonists got kidnapped.

What else could possibly go wrong?

Oh, I almost forgot, all my colonists were downed in a centipede battle so there were no doctors to save them!

*Laughs hysterically*

I like all the suggestions. I agree micromanaging is way to prominent. I think there needs to be more big picture type of additions, like totally new game mechanics.

Great ideas guys. I particularly like colonist relationships and breeding. How about customizable weapons, e.g., scopes, lasers, etc.?

Hi guys. I was wondering what you all hoped to be in the next alpha next year. New mechanics, stuff, etc.

One time my patient was getting a leg (?) replacement and my doctor accidentally cut his head off!

Absolutely! Boomrat wheels! I think the kinetic powerplant should make maybe 100 watts tops

Cramped my prisoners in a small rom and put the cooler output into their room. They had major heat stroke.

I appreciate everyone's responses. As for resource consumption, it would be like one wood/uranium per few days or something like that. I think the kinetic energy would be useful for powering a heater or cooler early on. Even though science disagrees with lightning rods, I think it would be okay to put in rimworld. I mean, are mechanoid robots and thumbs real?

So, you probably no there are very few ways to generate power. It can be quite difficult to get enough power especially early in the game. I have some solutions:

Smokestack-

burns off of wood.

Nuclear power plant-

produces lots of power, it needs a steady supply of uranium to keep going. If it explodes, radiation spreads through a large part of the map.

Hydro Generator- if you happen to  have water on your map, you can build a large building that produces power via water.

Lightning rod-attracts lighting to it, which then can quickly disperse energy through batteries

Kinetic energy- a bike like device that is powered by a colonist. Good exercise!

I have the same issue. Very annoying having to waste fine medicine on filthy prisoners.
