... on the other hand, having incentive to build workshops out in the middle of nowhere as appeasement to the dark gods sounds... appealing? To me. It's like creating your own little horror stories out in the woods as a meta-strategy of survival.

"Why do you have your pottery industry on the other end of the island?"
"Uh... no reason. It's just... a thing that works, you know? Keeps the population stable, in my experience. Mostly."

I like this idea, even more so in the case of "time since last mortal wound". Imagine there is a fish people attack every so often, a bit stronger every time, unless you leave innocent children chained to a certain, rune-engraved rock just beneath the floodline every month.

I rather like the concept of an explicit mechanic for leaving people or goods out as appeasements/sacrifices/temporary distractions for the fish men/harmless wildlife/oh god what is that. It would be interesting to have it as an option for a desperate colony, and it could result in !fun! paranoia for the remaining citizens.

Well, as long as it makes sense. A non-working workshop next to the eldritch spawn point? Not so much. Chaining a child under your settlement to keep your forges running? Better.

Lets not go full DF player mode, Citizen Daniel likely doesnt know about how psychotic we are. Lets just say that we will be mostly testing tragedy and disaster. Possibly finding ways to kill off useless colonists.

Okay, I followed your advice and now I got closed mouth full of cheese, was this the intended result?

Then you get cities like Paris where you should basically just kill yourself already.

Well obviously it is, that seems like a pretty swell result to me!

Not a non-working workshop, but maybe an understaffed one. Y'know, that just happens to be out in the woods. And maybe something happens to the workers occasionally, but you're n- not directly complicit or anything, idiots. No need to go full cultist and chain up kids or whatnot. Just... make it easier for things to happen. Plausible deniability is important, and if it happens to make it so your colonies run a little smoother and still don't go crazy-tentacle-dance, well... maybe the homeland looks away, just a titch?

I have been meaning to ask you for the longest time, Graknorke, what is that avatar of yours?
Every time I look at it, I get this strange sensation I am watching a strange mashup of Chef Boyardee and Strawberry Shortcake characters.

It's a character from Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, I believe.  Beyond that I'm not quite certain.

Heh, it's from _Papers, please!_ as I recall. Haven't played that one so I don't know specifics.

And then, they will be weaponized. Like everything in this game, from kittens to babies, everything is a potential device of murder.
So if baseless speculation is all we have, we might as well treat it like fact.

... The Avatar?  Because I just found him from Phoenix Wright, he's a gay (uncertain) French chef named Jean Armstrong.  The art style is completely off for Papers, please. 0_o

You know... I think someone asked him what it was once and that's the one that displayed with the P,p! answer. Must have been changed by then and without having played either series I just didn't know any better. Well that's one minor mystery solved, so... Sorry about that. This is what I get for a head full of useless minutae.
