We make bad suggestions and come up with horrible ideas.

To counter the rising popularity of fueled production benches, if the above suggestion passes :

every fueled building should have a chance to cause fires in neighbouring tiles and a higher chance at production and refueling failures.

Campfires, Torches, fueled Workbenches and the Fueled Reactor.

Give Randy access to permanent map conditions. Instead of some particularly bad incident, he should have a small chance to slap one of those down, instead.

Examples might include permanent toxic fallout, pawns exploding on death, planetkiller missiles, and the inability to grow.

for the people who hates surprises..

a new feature like minority report. it delays the activation of the event called by the storyteller and gives you a popup notification 3 hours before activating the event.

That is, 3 RL hours.

Are Game Pauses added to the calculation or not ?

pauses don't count coz time is paused. a notification popup appears and says :

"buckle up boyos, raiders spotted. eta 3 hours."

so if it says 5pm in-game time, then raiders will appear around 8pm on the same day.
so players can be like, i have a vision of teh futures!

and this applies to almost any random events that are unaffected by player actions. ie : cold snap, heat wave, manhunters, etc.. no more nasty surprises! *gasp!*

--------

i also have another suggestion.

it's called storyteller pro-advisory notification system.

the storytellers will diss you if you play poorly. by checking your progress and comparing it to game progress of other players that are playing in the same difficulty..

ie : haha. you've been playing for 3 hours (real time) and you're still too poor to afford a new slave. wtf have you been doing with your life? git gud. -love, randy random  ;D

To bad .. it would really fit in well with the realtime anouncement :-)
Incoming Raiders 3hs realtime .. Incoming Hive 2hs realtime.

You paused 1 1/2 hours of that time to plan something and micromanage ?
Tough luck bucko.

I think it should be a function of the learning helper, not the story teller.

"With this kind of progress you should switch to Phoebe Basebuilder ... "

Additional comments from the storytellers would be awesome too.

Phoebe "Are you bored yet ? .. "
Cassandra "only 5k wealth more .. "
Randy " I am bored. Let's have some fun. "

put kids on the game, so we would need wait 15 years on the game to control them

If pawns eat food that was cooked more than hour ago in-game they get a -5 "ate cold food" mood debuff.

Allow expired food to rot, ferment, and possibly grow legs if left long enough
Why to people worry about following their heart? Its lodged in your chest, you won't accidentally leave it behind.

Its bad because reasons, and if you don't know the reasons, you are horrible. You cannot ask what the reasons are or else you doubt it. But the reasons are irrefutable. Logic.

Pressing space freezes your pawns. Everything else still moves and their bars still go down.
