Anyone else seeing some balancing issues?

First, have to say it's an amazing game.  I didn't play it much until the first alpha was released, but it is quite addicting.  However, it seems like I've been hitting quite a few boundaries when it comes to balancing.

My colonists' are never really loyal to their colony.  By the time the 3rd raid comes around (~week 3 or so) everyone is so pissed that they leave or go on a rampage.  Even just an hour ago, the best colony I have ever built (everyone had lights, appealing surroundings, 5 or 6 research projects had been done, had about 7 colonists all pretty happy) randomly went on a downward spiral.  I just find it quite odd that you can give them loads of things to keep them sane and yet the smallest inconvenience seems to drive them mad.

I believe I heard that this is corrected in A3, which is good, but i want to know if many other people were having issues with this or if it's just me being bad at colony sims.

Is a shame it had to be pointed out, since your post was rather well written. Sadly it's a topic that where already being discussed in a thread that was only a few posts away from the top - in other words a current on-going topic.

Either way, welcome to the forum. Don't let this discourage you. :3

And yes, I can say so much that you're right in that this "issue" is being addressed in A3 - to the frustration for us more hardcore gamers. ^^; I'm personally going to test A3 first though before I complain about the difficulty.

If you find it difficult in A2 to rule your colony with happiness try ruling them with fear instead.

Try giving everyone a 6x7 (more or less that size) bedroom. This prevents them from getting a "had to sleep outside" and "shared bedroom" modificator. Also, while they are sleeping (which is a dang long time every day) they get the "spacious interior room" happiness boost while they are in there.

Also do not build tight corridors, build big ones. I currently have 5 wide corridors, that are laid out with carpets and more flower pots than your average flower shop has. My colonists dont even flinch at raider attacks anymore

I did indeed find that topic after posting, apologies, was late and just wanted to get some feedback if it was just me sucking or if it was also the game

It's alpha. Balance comes later.
