Dealing with siege

[Dendrazzik]

Here the best solution for no casualty from the siege....wait they are all asleep... and go steal their mortars :D

[M.K.]

And... no damage from the 15-20 potshots they shoot towards your base?

[Dendrazzik]

You bother them when they build it

[Jaasrg]

How do I bother them?

[yeru]

Send unwanted people for them to feast on

[Dendrazzik]

You start shooting them -.-.....enough so they have a hard time building it

[Lyrin]

Most luck I've had is trying to intercept them before or as they're building. For bigger groups I tend to just pick at them with longer ranged weapons doing hit-and-run strikes at them.

Usually after a certain level of casualties they kinda just decide to charge you like a normal raid group assuming they're not retreating by then.

Oh and try not to clump up your pawns once the mortars are up!

I usually build pillboxes around the map, so that when a siege begins I can simply move my colonists there and shoot from a distance.
Building pillboxes is a bit costly on the start since you have to use steel or stones since wood is too weak, but the hats surely pay off.

[Jigain]

I usually just kill them. Can't build mortars if they're dead.

Use fire like incendiary launchers to disable them. The AI just sucks handeling fire without player micro managment

i mean yeah you can just use that one mod that i forgot the name that lets you intercept mortar shells mid-air using automated cannons.

I almost always build mountain bases, I just like them. The infestation never really annoyed me much I designed counter measures for them.

So when there is a siege I am like oh... that's cute.

So the best way to deal with sieges is to shoot at them.

How novel.

turtle up and use the psychotic lance on the closest most dangerous animal (either an elephant, boomalope, megasloth or, if lucky enough, a thumbo) you see next to them, watch them ignoring you trying to defend themselves against the manhunter chaos you release on them. after it's dead rush and attack them, steal their food and resources as they flee, capture anyone you can and peg leg the men. If you play with Rim-job-world peg-arm the ladies and set them as cattle (i never peg leg a woman, such a waste)

You can't steal their mortars. They are enemy structures and the game wont let you claim them until the siege is over. Even if you somehow could remove them while the enemies sleep they will just rebuild them when they wake up.
