ok. You're going to have trouble with sappers in that back door because it's so thin. Personally, I'd rather have a base with two open ends if the second end is narrow enough across to build REALLY thick walls easily/cheaply. In your case you're going to have to build some really long walls to reinforce that long, but easily breached, rear wall.

I don't think this map is very ideal. you can get attacks from almost every direction.

+1 for saying Ya'll. Have fun with sappers! (Hint make a slightly thinner spot and trap it)
It is regular practice to install peg legs and dentures on anyone you don't like around here. Think about that.

That reminds me of something amusing that just happened to me.  A poison ship landed right next to my base -- inside my turret perimeter.  Turrets opened up, mechs died, colonists came out to clean up the mess left behind.  It was quite funny.

(After too many colonies ruined by sappers I decided to go with a completely open build -- giant fort in the middle of the map surrounded by a dozen turrets.  Colonists sit inside the perimeter taking pot shots at attackers who focus on turrets.  When they take one out, colonists go around the circle leading the attackers into the next turret...)
If you give an annoying colonist a parka before banishing him to the ice sheet you'll only get a -3 penalty instead of -5.

And don't forget that the pirates chasing a refugee are often better recruits than the refugee is.

A wanderer usually walks in on the first day or two. This does seem early, but it's not impossible that this is what happened.

EDB has a mod to choose how you start, right?
