Rule #1 of electricity

[pfig]

Hi all,

I got Rimworld yesterday, and this is from my first colony - a fire broke out after lightning hit a battery.

Although it taught me a valuable lesson (do not build electrickery on the outside), the reason the fire spread was that my colonists decided it was time to go to bed... while in the middle of putting it out.

In any case, as I watched them crawl to bed and saw the flames taking over I couldn't help but laugh, when it dawned on me that everything was going to go up in smoke.

As they say on that other site, "Losing is fun".

If they are rested enough you can force wake them by drafting and releasing them.
But yes, that's one of the base principles of RimWorld: Loosing is fun

You can also draft them and stand them near the fire. A drafted colonist will put out any nearby fire, and won't go to sleep until you undraft them.  But like you said, Losing is Fun!

What I want to know is why you didn't build a Metal base.

HERESY

MY FIRST BASE WAS ENTIRELY STONE/METAL

WOOD = DEVILSPAWN

Heresy you say?!

I decided to build one of my bases out of whatever was on hand! Stone, Metal, Plasteel, Gold... WOOD, whatever I could find was placed onto the wall!
A true monstrosity if ever I saw one!

I wish we could make walls out of meat, it would be like farscape...

Okay, that's it: I (politely and with the utmost respect) demand someone make a Human Meat Wall Mod

Put all your colonists Firefighting on highest priority. Fire will never bug you again (maybe ). Also when your colonists go to sleep just draft them and undraft them again. Then they should go put out the fire. Good Luck with your further Rimworld career.

PS: Seconding the meatwall idea. Use corpses of your fallen enemies to build walls sounds awesome. Maybe make a mood penalty for having one in your base (except for psychopaths of course ^^ )

Using it for all walls = instant mental break, all the time, every time. Although an amazing way to make raiders go psycho.
