Too many bad events?

[Naphtha]

On the same day I had the volcanic winter, toxic fallout and fiborous mechanite events happen. Is my game broken? I'm on rough with Cassandra and this seems a little over the top.

nah thats just a thuesday

Cool, I've just never seen such a string of bad things. I remember a youtuber called Aavak imposed a volcanic winter and a toxic fallout in game setup as a challange on a harsh winter map. I now have all of those things.

volcanic winter isnt that bad while a toxic falout is happening so thats only a single event with a little florish
and the mechanites arnt that bad either, it makes your colonists faster and better but makes them tired faster and have pain
might have some trouble with your meds supply if you are still early in so if you have traders pass by buy every medicine you can
with some luck they will die befor they leave the map so it will be free if you can haul it back

I find it's best to just assume the game is trying to kill you. It starts off slow, sending 1-5 raiders to attack you, to test you, and each time you annoyingly survive the game's attempts to end all life on the screen it ramps things up a touch.

You survive a raid, so it sends an army.
You survive the army, so it plagues your crops just before they mature.
You replant everything, so your power dies in some way.
You manage a heatwave, so it tosses maneating elephants at you.

And then it starts getting serious.
