Don't know if I should post this in here or in suggestions, seems here is the right spot.

In my alpha 10e play i'm gonna start a colony that has only one activity to generate money, that is cooking. I'll have everyone grow, haul, and cook, i'll do lavish meals out of animals, simple meal out of corn (planted) and rice (hidroponics), and will try to make a colony only with the cooking job. Ah, human meat will be also used, probably with fine meals to avoid cannibalism debuff.

My need is for a name to this colony! I hope you guys can help me with that. Thought of something like Bakersville, but meh.

The reason for doing that? S***'s and Giggles, just having fun.

I normally call mine Roanoke......;)

Sometimes, I want my last colonist to go out and carve "Croatoan" in a tree.....

you can add 'berg' or 'ton' in the end if needed

MarSmith > That's kinda creepy.

Shinzy > Bagelswarfton. Too bad we can't make bread in windmills/watermills.

Lavish express meals was a name that came up, as well as Cook's Stove xD

Small suggestion don't use it 0e use 10f. Unless you want to live on a firely death world where it rains some strange highly flammable rain (wish I managed to get that build downloaded)

Ykara

I always name my colony after my three first colonists. For example if one was called Yana, one John and one Samantha, my colony would be named something like Yajontha Town. I know it's a bit unimaginative, but I like it. It always remembers me how my colony started and I don't forget who my first colonists were.

A little bit. The colony vanished without a trace historically, all they found was the word carved into a tree.

Now, for those huge base builders. Louisbourg always works, if you want a historical precedent.

I like how this game can result in quotes that would be quite unnerving when said in public, out of context. - Myself

The dubious quotes list is now public. See it here

I usually name my colony something tough like 'Pain Central" or funny like Bender"s "Roeboneya" All cooking colony how about "Fat Bellies Camp" or "The Bloated Machine"
Its not a battle unless some limbs are getting shot off!

My last colony is named "Fogless" for no particular reason.
"Sam Starfall joined your colony"
"Sam Starfall left your colony with all your valuable"

I found a good way to generate DF-style weird mashed together colony names:

https://xuntroubled.merchantquest.net/pwgen/ppgen.cgi?wordcount=2&minlen=2&maxlen=8&randcaps=none&numlen=0&submit=Generate+Passphrase

Here are some I just generated:

ionsjaundice

incominganne
cullingskater
sweatersrippling
louisannually
bunchanchovy
waywardvaginal
emptiestgrossman
dam'sclerical

I will probably use this from now on. I can't wait to show off the adventures and trials of Wayward Vaginal.

That's cool! I went with Lavish Express Delivery for the colony, I get almost 3k at each bulk goods trader and have food for days!

I predict the future in my colony names.

aka WERE ALL GONNA DIEEE is a widely used name
On the right path, but the wrong medication.

I like how there's a thing that displays how long you've logged in to the forums. It shows just how many hours you've spent here, never to get back...
