Just a note to new players to A:6; Bullets carry death sentences.

Does permanent wounds reduce selling price of your prisoners? You could capture unproductive colonist and sell him when next slave ship arrives. I hope we get surgeries and cybernetic prosthesis available in next update. Meantime someone could mod surgery table for us.

!!!!

How does clothing work in regards to cutting down on damage? I don't suppose armor would help some against instadeath.

Tynan has said we can expect an update on this for A7, clothing currently hasn't been tweaked to deal with new damage system

[UrbanBourbon]

What about melee combat? Is it... delightfully dangerous as well, or does it remain simplistic? Is a skilled melee fighter more likely to cause more serious injuries? Is a skilled melee fighter more likely to avoid serious injuries in melee?

[Rahjital]

Combat wasn't changed at all, just the way injuries are registered. Though you can end up with interesting wounds in melee, such as 'crushed heart'.

2 of my colonists were shot in the head and the last one lost his eyes from ONE bandit on randy random. of course he had an uzi tho

I would like to note that this is an amazing improvement on the game, because it really helps get you emotionally attached to your colonists. Back when they were bullet sponges you hardly felt much when the took damage, but now a single shot can turn them from 'super-duper-colonist-maximus' to 'vegetable' in a few seconds.

Not to mention that one guy reported that one of his colonists' hands got torn off because of a single rock. Beware of the lucky dice roll.

One of my guys got his eyes bitten out by a squirrel He still shoots

[Sepkan]

Very dorfy, I like the sound of it.

Probably the worst job nowadays for my poor settlers is the position of anti-siege-sniper. I get two guys in power armor and send them out to try to disrupt mortar firing and pick off besiegers. But occasionally the enemy will get a lucky shot in of its own, and then it seems like ninety percent of the time a leg goes flying and I've lost one of my best shots.

Well mechanoids are going to /suck/..

Inferno cannons were nerfed because the change made them truly terrifying weapons, but otherwise the health is a double-edged sword for them. Centipedes still take ages to kill, but the damage effects mean they slow down greatly when damaged (and they can also be incapacitated now). Scythers are awful due to their range and accuracy.

There is also new EMP mortars. I haven't seen them in action yet, but they should make the use of artillery against them easier.

*Cough* Mechanoid Headshot. *Cough*

Heads will roll.

And the most fun about those ripped off etc. stuff is: You CAN'T heal them, you have no means to replace a lost limb! Arm shot off: Can still work but EXTREMELY slow! Leg shot off: Movement EXTREMELY slow! Just pray that none of your ppl ends up with both arms Or legs shot off, it's like they are dead but they still eat (usefullness wise)

I wish there was a medical research tree so we can make artificial limbs, eyes, brain parts, lungs, etc. I have a guy who just sits in his bed, useless because his left leg got shot off and he cant move... I may as well just sell him since he cant do anything.

Artificial limbs are in A7, according to Tynan, so let's assume it's roughly a month-long 'research' until we have that technology

[EmmaWayne]

its hard but it is awesome all those injuris^^ cut of, shot out, crushed... muhaa

my first sniper lost his left arm in a epic fight with a squirrel^^
second sniper: "sight = none" both eyes crushed... dunno why

but both of them are still oneshot heros^^

it is heartbreaking and awesome at the same time if you dont have 10.000 pawns
