Firefighting disabled

[Dr. Z]

Tynan, who in your one-man company had the unutterable ridiculous idea to make what seems like 50% of all characters unable to fight fires?

It's already hard to find new colonists since Alpha 3 as I stated in this thread.

And it's even harder to sell a prisoner who could be a valuble member of the colony, but someone who pees himself when he's told to blew out a candle simply has no place in this world.

What makes u think he did that?

[Dr. Z]

Well it's his game, there maybe characters made by community members but in the end he decides what's added into the game.

What makes u think he sets 50% of all characters unable to fight fires?

[Dr. Z]

Because they ARE unable to fight fires (the 50% are a guess, because it feels like that).

[Neone]

Well, from my experience I would say that 5%.

[Celthric Aysen]

i say 1%
I never got a colonist that cant put out fires

[iame6162013]

actually i had an entire colony full of them(no one could do it :/) and a few colony's without any of those bastards (bad luck i guess)

[Dr. Z]

Then you're lucky, almost every colonist I see who could be usefull (especially at game setup) is incapable of fighting fire.

One time I had four or five colonists and the newest one couldn't fight fires, so I thought "I have so many firefighters, I can take this one". It was a complete catastrophe, I will never do this mistake again.

Yeah, there is a problem with them, that they can't even extinguish themselves...

yea that's just a pain..
but challenges, are nice too having no one able to fight fires is actually a nice thing...
*thinks how to make it nearly impossible to play...*

You keep wondering how someone with only skills for melee and shooting manages to eat, or even be able to walk if he's too dumb to haul some rocks to a stockpile or piss out a fire

Even better: If someone can cook, but can't haul, he can haul the eat to the hopper, BUT NO OTHER THING TO ANY OTHER PLACE.

Maybe a severe allergy to everything, but dead rotting flesh and vegetables? ^^

Why then they can haul it for butchering and cooking, but not to store in stockpiles?
