I think when 'casual' gets too hot, I'll just switch to Randy. I'll start seeing pistoleers n such again!

Something is really wrong with the scaling of number of enemies in this game.  'Builder' Difficulty.  35 zombies with my big expensive turreted base(Missile launcher is pretty awesome).  The next level above that is 5x the numbers... if you do the maths with Builder at 5% and the next level is 25%...   and its not just the zombies that get bloated.

What the heck?  I get huge slow downs from the Casual 25% difficulty.  (Though, this time around, I did turn off the buzzant event from the TTM mod.  It really does add a lot of annoying bodies.)

I did modify storyteller population numbers if that did something...

EDIT: Yea, I dropped down from casual to builder cause of the sheer numbers.  But now it is too small.  Need a good middle ground.  Though, I guess I could specifically set things up to manage the masses of dead bodies.... rather then cremation, employing the missile launcher and miscellaneous explosives, while setting up a killzone that would allow me to use either/both.

Just throw some Molotovs in there and watch the bonfire.

I just discovered this game, and I have to say it looks quite impressive, especially for an alpha! Also, the Dev is local, which is a bonus, and I plan to purchase as soon as I can (supporting local businesses!).

EDIT: Well, I think it's local? Or close? There's two different locations listed in different places. But hey, close enough!

... Outlanders kidnapped all my prisoners, after a big arse fight with many pirate incapacitated.

* Zangi closes out game, downloads colonist only door and installs it to prison.

It is also me or temperate biome rains way too much. (Added farming of agave, cause no way to get any agave otherwise on that biome.)  I choose a lower rainfall area so I could get wildfires spanning the whole map going.  Maybe it is not implemented.

I'll probably be getting this once it makes it to Steam. I just have a thing about not being able to easily download and install, and get updates, through one system. I think it's called laziness, but I can't be sure.

I know for a fact that both Cassandra and Phoebe will trigger rain once the amount of fire on the map passes a certain threshold.

[GrizzlyAdamz]

Yeah, fire is limited since it's not optimized & 'MUH FRAMES'.

DF's not on steam :3

I didn't have to purchase Dwarf Fortress either.

[GrizzlyAdamz]

Ya get a steam key when it's released there, if you buy beforehand.

Woohoo leather walls!

EDIT: Wish there was an easier way to create a growing zone in rich soil, since it's very hard to see because of the grass, if I want to use every tile in a really irregular rich area I have to constantly switch off the panel then hover to see which tiles are fertile.

Whoa, I just played it for the first time since the original release. I really like the changes, especially the stuff like passion. And I like that dwarves have been worked into the lore, despite the lore leaning on the realistic

Now we can steal organs? Wooo! I never knew it before, but I've always wanted to be a kidnapper-and-neolithic-surgeon-organ-thief. Next on the menu: pirate liver soup!

I love that the game's designed for things like that. I think there was a trait or something where the character doesn't get traumatized by eating and butchering people.
