Way to kill off all of my cripples?
« on: March 25, 2010, 01:52:48 pm »

Man, that sounded evil... All they do is take up beds.... I have no water of this map, I settled in a sand desert, and am now building a massive pyramid of microclase. However, the cripples can't be given water, so they just waste limited bed space.
 My only wood is from caravans, and most goes to making barrels. No, I can't make metal barrels, as they takes wood to burn, until I find coal or lignite... Oh wait, there are no sedimentary layers here  :-\ so, any tips on killing cripples, and on Desert survival?

I believe if you forbid all beds and then deconstruct the ones containing cripples, they will no longer be taken or go to beds. You should then be able to draft them and station them all out in the desert as bait advance defenders.

In order to improve the universe's frame rate, we must all throw rocks into volcanoes and then do absolutely nothing, worldwide, for a week, to take pressure off pathfinding.
or maybe throw them into the large hadron collider to atom-smash them instead.
Not to mention to throw all available animals into tiny pits.

I'm liking this, but I think I'm gonna construct an atom smasher.... it's more merciful than letting them die a slow death of thirst

If you have no beds at all and they are still able to move, they will actually eat and drink booze on their own, and they can even work.

What is merciful. I have never heard that word applied in this game.

I's love to see them working/drinking with one missing arm, and the other broken.....

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.
