Lay off the spam....

..d-did you s-scroll down?

Currently playing this instead of DF (waiting for 0.40.11 before restarting with another fort from scratch).

It's fun, a bit imbalanced when your colony gets richer.

[GrizzlyAdamz]

Say, I pulled in a tribal that took a pilum to the crotch; will his shattered pelvis heal or should I take him behind the woodshed?

Well, I did what had to be done.

In the meanwhile, what all can explode & drain batteries? I'm about to set up a backup battery array, isolated from everything once it's charged.
This following a short circuit+eclipse combo.
But yes, hopefully I can keep the door & conduits attached.

Yes. Thank you for that.

[GrizzlyAdamz]

I just noticed: raider sieges go to sleep all at once. I don't have the numbers to try it now, but is it possible to sneak out there and decimate them in the night?

[n9103]

With enough troops and weapons, it's possible, yes.
Likely? Not a bit.
However, what's more likely is taking the longest range weapons you've got and picking off a couple of them each night.
They generally don't move to engage colonists that are well outside their (combined) weapon ranges.
They will generally start lobbing the mortars at your attack party instead of the base however, so be prepared to make a break for it if they get a lucky hit.

Also, kiting their mortars to deflect them during the day? Not too shabby, though probably considered OP when it's only one or two colonists.

[GrizzlyAdamz]

Ha, just saw that when some tribals picked off 80% of the pistoleer raiders.

Another question!
I'm guessing factions don't appreciate you capturing their members. But there's a tribal slowly bleeding out on the ground. Any way to save their life without making the faction wrathful?

[n9103]

As of last build, if they're not hostile, no.
As of this build, I have yet to pay for peace, and then try to rescue/arrest.

I'm 90% certain that capturing will always be a hostile action though.

[GrizzlyAdamz]

Well that's a bummer.

Hmm, can't seem to recruit tribals either, is that because of the whole 'language' thing? In any case, this situation has raised a different question altogether:
When bandaging someone's wounds without a medkit, I'd always get a 'recieved poor treatment, (100%)' message, which I figured was telling me it was a 100% chance to get that result.
However, I must be up to the sixth or seventh 'failed to recruit herpderp, (4%)', message so far. Which confuses me.
What are the % messages telling me?

[n9103]

I'm not sure about the medical percentages myself, but I can definitely say that the recruitment percentages is chance of success.
It's not impossible at all, but it does take a good bit of luck, and a good bit of time. Having a high Social skill helps too, both to get them happy enough to recruit, and to improve the recruitment chance.

[GrizzlyAdamz]

Hm, maybe 'poorly treated' is the best result one can get without a medkit, & therefore is 'success'.

[Morrigi]

From what I can tell, it's impossible to get better than "poorly treated" without medkits.

[GrizzlyAdamz]

Well, I was rather worried when friendly phoebe dropped 30 raiders to face off against my 6 colonists, but exchanging mortar fire and, particularly, sending my super1337prosniper out to pick them off from the trees, has me kinda digging this system. So long as I don't land a lucky hit & take out their mortars, this'll blow over.

Currently in the process of having a couple of the colonists prepare a sniper-haven so my dude can go off-duty without having to cross the map.


Question---how much more ramping up will there be? I fended off the last 40-man tribal attack with a bit of save-scumming. I don't think I'd be able to handle a 60-man without severe casualties.
