Is it normal for Randy?

[Grax]

IT WAS HARD.
Had to change teller to peaceful for almost two seasons, just to haul all these...

Didn't count corpses yet. 31 of mine are dead, 7 alive.

And again. Wealth is 11M thanks to golden statues.

[Shurp]

Yeah, manhunting muffalo is a major "free food" event.

So you achieved ridiculous wealth in a few years, and then my old Alpha 15 colony sits at 2m wealth over 25 years

Some ingame unbalances are exploits. It becomes visible over the years.

Deep mining is among them. You mine plasteel or gold, you made statues of it.
They worth 20k-50k each and when you have a hundreds of them - voila! You get all those hundreds-man/animals raids.
Just catch the moment and build enough walls and turrets.

By Armok ..
*sniff* .. this is so beautiful .. I would love to watch the fireworks on those

[Grax]

17M.
It's getting even worse.

[Shurp]

It's probably easier to burn all the bodies and loot than try to collect it.  Especially since you don't have a wealth problem anyway.

Well, actually, you *do* have a wealth problem -- too much of it.  Burning the loot will help.  But you might want to try burning everything else too

[XeoNovaDan]

But you might want to try burning everything else too

ALRIGHT PEOPLE, YOU'VE GOT THE MOLOTOVS, T9's, AND DOOMSDAY LAUNCHERS. LET'S BLOW THIS PLACE UP!!!

...and then wealth will still be sitting at like 2-3m

Had similar extreme amount of boomrats in my vanilla only colony. It's just unfair.
In my case they came during hot season and visiting traders around the base. At the beginning i thought "wow free loot", but i was wrong: explosions and fires everywere, they started fighting with my animals as well and got inside the base while my colonists amassed far away to bait them to a fair and safer position.
After 5 reload attempts gone very bad, base razed to the ground. Ragequitted, now i'm scared to launch the game again.

I think part of the game's appeal is that disaster can, in fact, happen due to no direct fault of the player's.  Recovery from that disaster can be a really satisfying achievement.

Just second year began and this happen.
I don't know how many of this shit is coming, 200+ i suppose.
It's Randyrandom with intense setting. Can't even imagine what would it be on extreme.

You have 40,000 extra meat stored in year two? Raids scale to your colony value and I'm guessing you are modding/dev moding to get that much that fast.

[Thyme]

Now that you mention it, none of Grax' screens include the ingame timestamp ...

Deep drilling in year two? skipped all the other research or what?

It was all lucky start.
Crashlanding surprised my two (sanguine and iron-willed) survivors with advanced bionic legs and arm/hands and an alpha poly medical bed that doesn't burn among the other furniture, during first orion raid they luckily downed both soldiers and took their exoskeletons, so it greatly improved the further progress.

Nevertheless, i've abandoned that game, 500+ raids made it unplayable slow.
After that orion send 20+ tanks with somewhat 300+ men and i gave up.
