So, I just realized that my game calendar says May. Raj, is that right?  I've been watching the clock and I don't think I've overshot.  (Sorry, no spoilers!)

@theapolaustic1, my projection of this finishing by this weekend was a conservative one.  I actually think that I can finish by Thursday.  Either way, I'm starting today.  No need to try squeeze one in, but definitely update the schedule and get more players in the rotation!

Note to self: When standing under a falling cliff, don't look up!

That's Emmie, my vatgrown sexslave that's incapable of violence but has an insatiable bloodlust being kept in her tiny prison in restraints.

No way!  My current colony also has Emmie, the vatgrown sexslave who's incapable of violence.

Mortars.  Mortars and snipers. 

PS - Awesome avatar pic!

Holy bodies, Batman!  UrbanBouron, that's seriously awesome! 

Hehe - I had that happen once.  There was a pod crash, and a rather useless pawn tumbled out.  He landed on the east edge of the map, and seconds later a HUGE tribal group showed up right on top of the guy.  After milling around a bit, the tribals grabbed the unlucky fellow and made off with him.  I was pretty pleased, myself.  (Thanks Randy!) 

They only steal your food if they can get to it. Visitors don't have keys and hence, can't open doors. Typically when i get a pack of visitors they just loiter around my solar panels then leave. Never had a problem with them bothering my colonists? And I've had ridiculously large groups of visitors. (Like 50+)

Maybe I'm encountering a bug then, but I keep my food inside.  Behind Power Doors (no mods).  While they usually loiter outside, they will often walk right on in like they own the joint.  Is this a bug then?

I just angered 2 factions so that I could outfit my motley crew in cowboy hats and ponchos. I even had power armor but the cowboy hat and poncho setup looked so awesome I didn't even use it.

The so-called allies are a HUGE pain in the butt.  They steal your food and make your colonists go insane.  They're really enemies whether or not they're openly hostile.  It's better this way. 

*Raises hand*
I'm liking the trait system so far.  I don't have any great suggestions, but I'm eager to see where it goes.

Wow, hydroponics tables have more than double the fertility of rich soil?  I thought they were pretty similar.  I feel like an idiot now... 

incidentally, are psychotic waves meant to continue after the ruin is destroyed?

They should end when it's destroyed, but most effects have a cooldown period before they wear off.  Haven't tested this one yet, though.

skivvy96, upload your image to postimage.org.  It'll give you a forum tag to copy/paste here that will give a thumbnail view and a link to the full image.

For colony defense, I recommend any type of weapon that fires multiple bullets at once (burst). 
More bullets = more hits = more chance to seriously wound or incapacitate

Also, why would anyone use concrete for the floor?  The only things flooring does is prevent plants from growing and therefore fires from spreading.  Go with wood floors - it's cheap and it makes your colonists happy.

UrbanBourbon, thanks for looking into that.  I wondered about it myself. 
I'm sure Tynan will do some updating/tweaking when he gets the chance, but I bet a mod could suffice in the meantime.

hard to make really safe base if they can come from a single small hole in the roof.. Well now that its clear i can't have a front yard and be safe i need to test out mountain base, power is going to be a issue but i might have workaround on that

I've skipped few builds on purpose so this got so much cool new stuff its really fun to play again.

You can usually find a geothermal geyser or two buried in a mountain.  And that makes power no problem at all!  Also, use fertilizer pumps or hydroponics in your mountainhome to make food indoors.  Happy mining to you!
