I'm terrible at the game and pretty new (traded once, had up to 6 people I think). I saw 2 research tables in ShadowDragon... but so far as I've played, there doesn't seem a need for a 2nd one. Or is more research available later in the game than I've played?

I'd had the research done for ages by the time I refitted that room that way. They were just to give that room a proper "spaceship command room" look

First base, maxed my population at 15 working on strip mining.

I got this place fully stocked with colonists before the new update. The random geyser right in the middle of the base messed with my building plans, but it turned out to be extremely useful.

My favourite part of this base is the dining hall:

My now established 254b colony is starting to build a much larger version of this dining hall. I'm hoping that it turns out just as well as this one did.

That is amazing. I love seeing them all there!

Anyway, I don't want to show off my Randy base yet as I am still trying to get it looking decent but I will show you my list of friends I have.

After playing for a few days & getting utterly pummeled by lots of raiders, I finally managed to get a stable base on a map I really like. Almost ran out of things to do with it now so will probably start fresh soon. Can fend of huge amount of raiders now as all my guys are now equipped with M24's(the doubled sandbag area if where they all line up when the raiders arrive, they flee so fast)

I've just linked it the inserted image was cutting off half way, lol...

Well, your killbox has a nice enfilade going on, that's for sure!

It's now how I would've set it up, though. For one thing, when those turrets blow, they're gonna take those walls with them. I usually just set up sandbags around the turrets.

For another, you get bonuses to shooting things which are well-lit. So I try to illuminate the spaces where the enemies will be, whilst keeping my turrets and my pillboxes in darkness, even at high noon.

I also want the baddies to rush straight for the turrets. Turrets are replaceable, colonists are not... So if I were to revamp your killbox, I'd put at least some of the turrets in the middle, behind sandbag alone, and revamp the walls so they're a pillbox - places for colonists with guns to lean out and shoot over, in darkness, with sandbag waffles and possibly hydroponics tables to prevent physical access...

Still, judging by the amount of blood that's been shed, I'd say you're doing well enough!

Cool base. One Tipp, though.
alternate between walls and sandbacks were your colonists will stand. They will lean out of the walls, but still be behind sandbacks, when they shoot, giving enemies the least possible chance to hit them.
Haven't lost a colonist to raiders on Kassandra, since i discovered this.

Grimreaper1704 · November 08, 2013, 02:21:32 PM

Hehe this is how my Colony with the name "Hopes" Ends

Ric · November 08, 2013, 03:15:59 PM

@ Shadowdragon8685 & Grimreaper1704.

Thanks for the tips guys. Much appreciated.

I've filled all those graves a couple of times but luckily i found the workaround of burning them to empty them. If I hadn't found that, I'd have no floor space left...lol..

Nice compact base grim.

Yeah it was my Beautifull little Town but i think a was to lame to build up defense there where 6 raider on day 30 and you see what happend

But the funny story is the one in the prison was one off the first Colonists and is giong mad because of starving and they die in prison as last person on hunger

that was so cruel to see that

W1Z25 · November 08, 2013, 11:47:42 PM

i believe that my base is one of the biggest on here lol

NO enemy has been able to get in

Rex705 · November 09, 2013, 12:54:43 AM

Only one of these graves belongs to one of my colonists he was one of the original 3. [

This is my power station it keeps all the lights on and the gun turrets blasting. If it goes down we die.

Here we have some raiders trying to murder us but we murder them instead. Some of our turrets are not hooked up with power but we hold them off with the two active ones.

LOL the mountain in your first picture W1Z23 looks like a rabbit

EarthyTurtle · November 09, 2013, 07:22:31 AM

I'm pretty proud of the base I just built so I thought I'd share

. It's my second successful colony, Cassandra is my storyteller. Thinking I might try kassandra next.

Amaror · November 09, 2013, 12:44:21 PM

Here my new 254 base. It's a challenge base in Kassandra difficulty and with the self imposed challenge of playing without turrets and no killzone funnelling. And it's really really fun. I had quite a bit of luck, though. My first raider was a Marine, so a good fighter, and after i captured and convinced her to join us she has been invaluable. Since all of my 3 starter guys sucked at fighting she really saved our asses multiple times. Plus you can see that i got a good map. Two steam geysers within an nearly enclosed are? Yes, please!
But i really love the balancing of 254. You did a superb job on that one Tyran!
