Well... I hate melee guys. Firearms is the only thing I trust. Every firefight when I have a melee soldier (it happens ONLY when I don't have enough guns for everyone) I'm getting sick of watching him do nothing while other guys are shooting and getting shot... It turns out for me that even in melee I can deal greater damage by firing SMG/shotgun instead of telling my guy to fight with fists. And I remember that once I had a guy who was passionate about shooting, but was a brawler at the same time (he wasn't passionate about melee, only interested - how is this even possible?!), so every raid he had to rush to the armory for his rifle and then to the trench while others went straight into the trenches. One of the most annoying micros I ever encountered.

I didn't play Sims Medieval, but for me it's still not okay. The game could throw a bunch of boars at me and that'd be fun. I think that certain animals should never pose any threat to humans (chinchillas, squirrels, etc) but instead you can just have that hungry grizzly and it's perfect in my opinion.

By the way, great game, but I don't remember when I did my last ragequit (propably MANY years ago - ragequits made by a terrible DF GUI don't count here for me)...

If you're lucky, the artwork with portray an event from the life of the colonist in question.

I know about this, I've already had an artwork showing my main doctor having a bionic hand installed, but that's not something I would consider a memorial for the dead one.

However, if you do have their body in the future

Maybe I haven't spent that much time with the game yet, but trust me, I know what to do with dead bodies. That's not what my suggestion is about.

Anyway, thanks for the answers.

Hi,

I've got a little suggestion (sorry if it was proposed somewhere else, I just got tired of searching) about graves. Currently I didn't find a way to memorize a dead colonist whose body has been lost. So the brave firefighter trying to save food stockpile or a helpful dog which, after his death, was cooked instead of being buried due to food shortage (caused by the fire in the food stockpile which the firefighter mentioned above didn't manage to save  ) have been forgotten. It's purely aesthectic, but I just felt like I need to bury them somehow, even wothout the body. In DF you can craft a memorial from a stone slab and I would like to see something similar in RimWorld

Ok, so here's my story.

It was my second colony. I was slowly pushing forward. A promising medic and farmer being teared down by alphabeavers soon after the beginning was a bit frustrating, not because of the loss itself, but because of the fact that later i repelled dozens of attacks not losing a single man (including one when I had to deal with: 1x bolt-action rifle, 2x light machine gun, 2x machine pistol and 1x steel knife having: 1x bolt-action rifle, 1x pistol, 1x plasteel knife, 1x steel spear, 1x wooden mace and literally no defenses expect improvised cover such as solar panels or rock piles). That should explain why since then alphabeavers were causing an instant mobilisation equal to those announced during raids
And today was the day I assembled my first caravan in order to gather some loot. After surviving (!!!) heavy artillery fire (I wasn't prepared for THIS) and using my sniper to outrange the turrets I've killed the defenders and packed the precious loot on my muffalos. I was afraid that the sniper will die, because the bad conditions during travel made his gunshot wound infected, but he somehow survived also this. (The infection has already turned extreme). Oh and I remember THAT ONE missile that was flying perfectly into my soldiers' heads but in the last second I ordered them to move while not even realising that another projectile was fired.

But my caravan didn't make it. All 3 brave soldiers have been slain. Why? Because they were attacked by chinchillas. Yes, furious CHINCHILLAS. I also was furious after seeing this. I ragequited immediately and deleted the save. That's not something I consider fun or fair, because chinchillas are just small mouse/rat-like animals and obviously in real life aren't aggressive to humans! And even if they do bite, they won't do any serious damage. Especially to people armed with firearms. So here's my question: can someone explain to me how it is possible that 6 chinchillas:
1)attacked a group of 3 people
2)killed a group of 3 people (1x sniper rifle, 2x light machine gun, all above lvl 10 shooting)

I just don't know what to say. It would be okay if the caravan was lost due to bandits or some dangerous animals. But not chinchillas. That's not what I expected. That was way too much for me.
