Watch for falling roofs killing pawns

[neo5apien]

When you're remodeling your base, and by remodel I mean tearing up the parts you don't need as much because Randy the RNG Demon decided to send multiple raiders followed by a volcanic winter so you need the scrap wood to keep the half that weren't hauled off from freezing to death.... anyways, as I was saying, deconstruct the roof first. Gravity kills. It will fall on your poor builder pawn and slice open their neck. Randy makes life hard enough without preventable workplace accidents like this.

Things are so bad I'm wondering if maybe the ones the raiders captured have it better than my pawns now. I've only got one guy left who's willing to fight or hunt during this nuclear winter, and he's trying to shake the flake that he got hooked on as a combat stim when he almost died keeping everyone else alive. Ever look at a flake addict shoving a charge rifle in everyone's face and realize that everyone's life depends on this lunatic somehow killing everyone but us during a beserk psychotic break?

I don't think we'll pull through much longer honestly. We don't have any industrial technology. No power, no wood, no heat. Either our psycho druggie savior kills us all or we freeze to death. Traded a mountain of food for that charge rifle too, so if the hunting isn't good then we'll be starving as well.

Are you having fun? You certainly have an interesting story, which I think is the only important thing in the eyes of the dev.

Lol.

I've had a couple of roof collapses happen to me as well. Sucks when you forget while you're remodelling but I heard it's great to use against raiders.

Ive done it when trying to deconstuct metal bases i find doing missions early on, lost several eyes that way.

I'm having a blast. Haven't felt this much emotion over a handful of pixellated chicken nuggets since Final Fantasy 3(6) on the SNES 25 years ago. I'm pretty well blown away that a procgen based game mechanic can produce something so good.

Wait till one of your pawns goes and murders the family dog because he ate without a table.

Given that the game has 95% positive Recent Reviews, most of the playerbase would seem to agree with the dev in that "interesting stories" lead to "fun".

Hare beat his addiction without murdering everyone and together with the rest of my fighting team he took down a thrumbo for the first time ever. The volcanic winter only lasted two seasons thankfully. We had to search far and wide for wood, including sacrificing our beloved poker table, but we survived and even thrived thanks to good hunting. Between rescuing refugees and crashlanded survivors, we've got three combat ready pawns to deal with attacks now, with Hare's charge rifle plus an assault rifle, thrumbo horn, and two dogs we purchased from a nearby town.

The Tundra Terrors are doing better than ever, even though finding wood for fuel is still a problem and a recent summer cold snap is killing our corn crops. Freezing temperatures in the middle of the summer growing season suck. Now the priority is hoping our agriculture survives so we can make enough pemmican to do missions, instead of eating hare, caribu, and thrumbo nonstop day after day.

I'm playing a modded game to start off as New Tribe with no technology at all researched, with one naked hungover pawn and no resources. It's my Extremely Bad Party scenario, where an unlucky neolithic triber joins the revelry of visiting spacers, who treat them to a wild party on their space yacht, then as a drunken prank shove them in cyrosleep capsule and fire them off at a random world, just for ♥♥♥♥♥ and giggles.

The original pawn died a long time ago unfortunately.
