This game is retarded
No matter what I do, every time I get a seemingly good base up and running with good stats for my people, the game just sends in hoards of raiders who decimate everyone on board.
I have good security and cannons attached to the station for good measure, but they always get past them and I have to keep restarting.

It's like it senses when things are going well and messes everything up.

It's a feature. The game is designed to destroy your base once you get far enough. Reaching 50 population triggers the so called "compound events", which is basically multiple bad things happening at the same time. In a related note, there's the so called pirate megafleet which will come to wreck you, always.

Its DF's way of giving you the finger, cos they could'nt be arsed to develop it any further.

Have you tried Team DoubleSpank's Delay of Annoyance mod? There's tips all over the place regarding adjustments for things just like this. Yes, the default game is crap, but the community is lowering rage levels enough to fix things themselves.

I literally just got the game like 2 days ago, so I didn't know about any mods

No problem . In reality you should'nt have to go hunting for a community mod for a piece of vaporware like this , in fact Steam should cease all sales of this title . By why look after their consumer base .......

The title is utterly abandoned and the game itself is pointless as they did'nt even get to the game content part of the development . Maybe a communtiy member can get a bit more out of the title but as it stands there is simply too much for a unorganised bunch of community modders to actually complete , imo . Good luck .

Unorganized? Really? Thanks a lot for the insult.

lol , easily offended ? I am just pointing out the REALITY . Go for gold but there is no way this can be salvaged . There is too much missing from the actual gameplay itself . Try to be a little less thin skinned and focus on how this may be because the dev threw out a half baked mess .

Fine, if all you want to do is bash and cry constantly about the game being a mess than go ahead. Me and three others have created ways to make the game somewhat playable.

Who's the more mature one now?

Still me going by the most recent post . Maturity ? How about you realise the communtiy paid a dev to complete the title , it was abandoned , now a couple of modders think they can finish the game ?

And how exactly does one bash and cry in a forum ? I was replying to a query from a player , and i gave them a quick rundown .Yet you post about how much more mature you are and expect a civil discourse ? Try actually putting up or just go away . I really have no time for touchy little tits .

That's you making the best of a ♥♥♥♥ scenario. It's creative, but there's nothing mature about it.
This game had awesome potential. DoubleFine screwed over its DF9 playerbase.
I dont see how anyone cant see this. This game (well the treatment of it by the devs anyway) deserves all the trashing and trolling these forums can handle imo.
You simply do not pull amatuerish stunts like this when you've been in the business as long as DF.

I think they made the game this way as revenge to everyone's reactions to them delcaring they were not going to finish the game.

I don't think it was malice, just incompetence that they chose to make this the end-game.

They must've had a meeting where they discussed how to make the game appear more complete. Maybe they brainstormed and picked the ideas that were possible to implement without actually doing much work. And there probably weren't many ideas that were going to meet the deadline.

The compound event along with the megafleet must've seemed like a great plan in the meeting - "let's just give them more of what we already have!" No new assets needed, just some code to make multiple events run at the same time.

The result was a catastrophe and an insult towards the players, but I think the team really attempted to give us something "more" with the few days they had left.
