RimWorld A12 - Flashstorms are fun and fair

[belannaer]

Hey,

I was streaming the new alpha yesterday and got a great flashstorm on my brand new base (thanks Cassandra). Made a highlight of it and wanted to share it with you guys. Don't mind the small saltiness in the video

In a situation like that it's best to draft all colonists and manually guide them rather than let them run around doing their own thing. They should be together working to contain a fire (pick an area you can defend and hold it) rather than each being in their own little corner of hell.

Go to 0:28 and just pause. You can see you could've ganged up all colonists on the fires on the right and that entire flank would've been safe. Prison would've been fine as well 'cause it's made of stone (it seems). You would've lost solar panels, fridge and diner but it's not an extinction event by any means.
