As amusing as the notion of glassing someone is, I'm not entirely clear why you would desire to do this.

Maybe when the Colonists get Drunk they go on a Violent rampage

I'd love to see a drunk colonist glass a psychotic squirrel

Because its amusing and you can, sometimes thats enough.

The reduced skill degradation rate makes me sooooo happy. I'm currently watching a level 14 crafter LOSE skill as he crafts. Some of those other tweaks are fantastic as well. I can't wait!

Edit: It looks like maybe stonecutting doesn't add to a skill, so that's why my guy's skill was degrading as he worked. Once I got my crafter making hats his skill started to improve while he was crafting.

Correctamundo. And exactly why people have been requesting adding certain colonists to bills manually so that stonecutting is for your worst crafter and tailoring is your best and they never switch and mess things up.

Anyone ever play the old arcade game Vendetta? Sorta Doubledraggon side scrolling fighting game. Bottles where a one use, one kill weapon.

Since beers is a valuable resource, maybe have 'bottling' someone break the bottle and incapacitate the victim?
