Balance: Squirrels are too powerful

[Ufarskadwjan]

An armed colonist wearing body armor and a helmet whose adulthood was "political assassin," whose "true calling was in physical solutions to diplomatic problems," was just murdered by a psychotic squirrel. The squirrel suffered just a bruise.

I suggest that squirrels are way too powerful.

[PotatoeTater]

You obviously haven't met the turtles.

[SSS]

I suggest that you've never been attacked by a psychotic squirrel irl.

Okay, seriously, they may be a bit OP.

[Cryorus]

You obviously haven't met the turtles

Someone has to do a TF2 like intro for RimWorld turtles XD

But seriously , in a world full of to-the-teeth-armed-pirates, huge muffalos and mechanoids our greatest threat are squirrels and turtles. WHAT IS WRONG ON THESE PLANETS O.o

[SpaceDrunk]

I think we can all agree that if humans hadn't developed technology, squirrels would have dominated our world and consumed us long ago. We're barely keeping them at bay as it is.

[Renham]

once almost got a 20+ colony destroyed cause of squirrels... shit man, they hit hard!

[dazhat]

Agreed. They should be an annoyance which are crushed immediately. Muffalo on the other hand I can imagine being very dangerous when angry.

[Kegereneku]

Don't diss the squirrel, they defeated Dr.Doom.

[Renham]

I remember that dark night when de muffalos when berserk and teared appart my whole settlement, had to put my whole colony in a room deep in the mines and prepare them in possition for whenever they came start shooting. only 3 survived they where like 12.

[NephilimNexus]

Use the "Superior Crafting" mod.  Squirrels die in one hit.

[Argon]

Use Melee weapons.  Squirrels are generally too fast to shoot w/ a single colonist.

colonists with decent melee weapons generally 1-hit kill them. The ones with ranged weapons are the ones who are screwed 

Or ones with melee weapons who get mugged by 5 of the rodent ninjas. Never seen my prized colonists die so quikly
