Anyone have an Alpha 3 Base set up yet? xD

I started a new colony last night when I realised Alpha 3 was out(!). I'm only a handful of days in so far and have barely done anything, but I'll be working on it tonight and hopefully get something set up.

Alpha 2, but with many mods. Warning, huge image, 2690x3969 with 1.6 MB. (The PNG version has gigantic 12.7 MB before and 8.4 after compression with OptiPNG... xD)



(Click here for the big version, the other version is so small...)

I can't wait to play with Alpha 3, but this base has priority in the moment. ^^

Alright... here's me second colony from Alpha 3. My first wasn't really any different than my other colonies I've made. This one, though, I've aptly named "Barren" as you'll see:



You see that little bit of rock on the east of my colony? yeah, that's about 1/3rd of all the rock on the map. When I first generated this map I was so close to leaving (especially since I'm on tough Cleopatra), but I decided to try it out, and man, I've been struggling. I had to quickly wall off a small section between two rocks, and I've had to very carefully and slowly expand outward, since there's not a whole place left to dig. I also have to make sure I use stone walls, because raiders seem to ignore them more often than metal.

And here I am, hovering at about 4-5 colonists at all times, always losing colonists as soon as I gain a new one. I just survived a HUGE attack from a group of tribals I accidentally pissed off by hitting them with friendly fire during a raider attack.

Frankly, I can't believe I've survived long enough with such a tough position and against such tough opposition.

Nice base for a tough Cleopatra story teller.

In my colony I try to use as many exploits as much as I can  ;D
but I don't use mods, because that would be cheating (just kidding) :P


Overview:



Sleeping Rooms, one single door divides 3 rooms & 1 corridor from each other, this conserves energy (we are eco friendly here :P ) :



Kitchen, food storage & dining room, (also a comms console):



Prison & random storage, don't mind the Plan tiles, I'm just spacing out where the lighting should be:



Farm, recreation area & trading, the Sun Lamp have a floating roof over itself to keep it from short circuit, the roof are "held up" by the Farmer's house:



Outer defense area (Johnston are having a bad time   ;) ) :



Last inner 2 lines of defense:



Cremation chamber, 1 Molotov is enough:

So many ideas... so little time...

Well here's my colony, imaginatively titled Alpha 3!



As you can see, nice big bedrooms, prisoner rooms at the bottom. 4 cooks in the kitchen providing fine meals for everyone all the time. The defence courtyard doubles as my trading area.

Oh and I've eradicated poverty grass. All I have that grows now is Agave, except my two growing areas which are potatoes and strawberries.

Randy Random if you're curious.

What happened?

I havent metal to fix my security, and i have too big enemies :(

Ender

so, just a question it seems a fair amount of you don't use hydroponics, how come? personally i love hydroponics, as they make less hassle than being outside.
The voices in my head tell me to burn colonists....

onashu

I typically do, but at this time I just don't have the room to make a hydroponics room, and I'm still struggling to keep up with the raiders and strengthening my defenses. Not have any rock to mine into kinda sucks, haha.

Why do you have so many Geothermal generators?
