Does Epokalypse feel balanced?

Yup! Just the right amount of challenge!
It has a few kinks! Translation: Mostly balanced (Please comment the issue)
I can't survive the Epokalypse! Translation: Unbalanced (Please comment the issue)
I haven't tried the Epokalypse.

Was thinking something along the lines of this for the outdoor lights. Definite requirement for research - way too powerful standalone, but along the lines of colored lights. Maybe v1 research ~300 - 500 for some little one that has only 1/4 the chance of sparking up. v2 would be a bigger range and no chance of blowing up, would allow a "brightly lit" area in a focused V-shaped cone area (can it be focused beam instead of the grid like a grow lamp?) up to call it 4-5 spaces out.

I like the idea of leaderboards, but with Prepare Carefully, it's possible to make the startup incredibly simple. No qualms with PC (I love the mod), just saying it might skew your leaderboards if everyone has maxed skills.

I let the "can't play with out this mod" get the best of me and soon realized that EdB prepare carefully jeopardizes the challenge I'm looking for in Epokalypse.
It will be removed next update.

Oh, no - I understand. I honestly CAN'T play without it. EdB's got a fantastic selection.
I just wanted to help keep the leaderboards more competitive. I doubt I'll attempt them, but I'd love to see how well others have done. :)

Gonna download the mod pack here in a little bit and give it all a whirl!

What's the reccomended storyteller/difficulty for the leaderboard challenge? Also had an odd bug on my last game but it went pretty far, btw are 200+ terrorworm attacks a thing that's supposed to happen? I survived it, but I had enough time for one colonist to get ripped to shreds with 40+ bites, be treated, recover, and come back to fight the worms again with a cyber pistol. All while I took turns kiting them with a survival rifle. It was intense. Took a couple of very dark, tense, horror filled nights. Then my overview screen broke and I couldn't assign jobs to my colonists anymore :(

MrWashingToad

No EdB used, just a few rerolls till I found some that would work.. for a while..

Need to look at the terrors raids - they decided to stick around *forever* (see screenshots).
https://www.dropbox.com/s/22w58eqco9br3lj/screenshot2.png?dl=0  <-- Colony start
https://www.dropbox.com/s/tdgdm80cvwwps73/screenshot3.png?dl=0  <-- Colony dead
https://www.dropbox.com/s/k0bfsbntkzqvsqj/screenshot4.png?dl=0  <-- Day 62.89
https://www.dropbox.com/s/juaiupg1clajhuw/screenshot5.png?dl=0 <-- Just shows Day 62.89 event as "Group of Horrors" (about 50 worms and 15 Visceral).
https://www.dropbox.com/s/liehgx5yqd769bs/screenshot6.png?dl=0 <-- Day 66.89 colony ended - after 2 more attacks - zombies and pirates on top of each other.

Edit: Storyteller - Casandra Classic - Challenge difficulty (100%)

I think as a basis, everyone doing leaderboards should probably be on Cassandra - Challenge(100%).

Anything needed to get the zombies rolling? I've had 48 days with only a minor raider attack. Set to challenging.

I guess I'll have to break my Randy Random addiction than...

Come to think of it, Randy may have been why I had those 200+ Terrorworms attack me in the first 2 months.
