What can i do in this situation.....

[HammBone]

So some raiders had a siege camp off to the side of my colony as they tend to do... when suddenly some friendly passer-bys pop up on the map right behind them. Of course they shot it out and lost, but there were a couple of survivors. After killing the bandits, the only option i had for the friendly group was to capture (making their faction hostile) or letting them die.

I'm sure the case is, ally factions are not fleshed out... but just wondering if there is anything in as of now to help them (without putting them in prison)

The two options you mentioned are the only options at the moment.

[TheXIIILightning]

Yep. There isn't much that you can do with factions yet, when it comes to that. Saving and Capturing are pretty much the same.

i usually just strip them naked.

that's the proper way that we say "hello and welcome" to our colony.. 

[BetaSpectre]

Let them die, that way you can loot the bodies.

There's nothing else you can do.

bury friendlies in a beautiful rose garden graveyard, its what they would have wanted. and leave the bandits out there to rot... unless of course there's resources there then just cremate the bandits.

Since how factions regard you resets after each load (bug?) I just collect them.

Yeah after i captured them their faction still visited normally, friendly. Though on the communication thingy they wouldn't negotiate with me.

worth i guess... haha
