Mountain Colonies vs Open Colonies: Post your best colony pictures and vote!

[Ceglaaa]

Nice post!
My pattern is quite medieval - most important buildings are behind a thick wall, double gates (doors) and some keeps/bunkers. (No killboxes though). Then comes a layer of houses and some less important storages and workshops, barn surrounded by thin (sometimes wooden) walls. On the most outside layer I build farms, prison (the hell with them, run if you want, I don't want a riot near my hospital) and guesthouse (I always play with hospitality mod )
I know it's not most effective way to build but I like it that way ^^

[LouisTBR]

Same! I build inwards-out and, like you, only with the Hospitality mod 

[Ceglaaa]

It has disadvantages though - I have had my guests slaugthered multiple times by now during sieges/raides/manhunter packs. Once they also died because I kinda... Well... Forgot to put a cooler in the guesthouse. However most of the visitors leave my town happy and untouched!

[LouisTBR]

Brilliant  I tend to build a lovely guest house straight from the off while my colonists are still sleeping on the ground outside...

[Ceglaaa]

Well, to be honest, they're less important to me than my colonists and my animals so they have to deal with the dangers on their own
I was once considering building some turrets to protect the guesthouse but it ended up killing more of them than the raiders

[LouisTBR]

Haha

I find the best thing in early game with the Hospitality Mod is to focus on the visitors, as you gain colonists, faction relationship and some of the stuff they were trading

[Ceglaaa]

Well, I prefer more xenophobic attitude. It's more fair toward my colonists.
*stares at the wooden guesthouse, smirking, before ordering yet another marble colony house to be built*

  In the beginning I am nice to foreigners
Then I realise I care more about the people who have served me and decide to help them a bit... Now who do wish says that in their next press conference?

My first colonies I have all built in the mountain. But at some point I could no longer hear the eternal whining. " Too dark " "Too ugly ". 
My current colony I have built in a hilly landscape outside. And I like it. It is much more flexible in the planning . The initial phase was pretty tiring, but after I built up a good defense , it is a bit more relaxed.

[LouisTBR]

That colony is awesome! Wish I could build that

The only thing I'd change is make the battery rooms bigger so there can be space between the batteries. If one explodes they will all explode in that configuration.
