rats should not kill people

[F1aw1ess]

rats and ♥♥♥♥ should not kill people, they should at least fight back instead of let the "mad rat" or whatever kill them

I think you might not understand the combat system

either that or he isn't drafting the colonists and they are set to the default "run away" option for threats?

That is also an option.

Your colonists will commit genocide over not eating at a table. A rat killing someone is the least of your worries.

Rats have historically killed many people.

sounds like you got cranky because you allowed a rat to kill your colonist due to your ineptitude.

I fully understand, there needs to be a self defense mode, i lost some guy to a rat as well, its cause they do nothing but flee if they are not drafted

there is a self defense mode, colonists only flee by default

Manual? Tooltips? Tutorial? Looking at all the buttons in the interface? TL;DR:
Better complain on forums.

The fleas carried it, not the rats.

This topic gets brought up a lot, so I'll go ahead and throw out the usual response:

You're not taking scale into account. Animals on the Rim are a lot larger than their earth-bound counterparts.

These are 30-pound rats/gerbils/rabbits/squirrels. The small bugs are the size of pit bulls, the megaspiders are human sized. Pound for pound these can and will eat your puny colonists.
