worst combo of events you had?
I just had a combo of a toxic fallout, then after that was a manhunting boomalope (which lit my growing feilds on fire) and then volcanic winter...

all within a few days after they ended of each other ( i started to have food issues on the last week of the toxic fallout and had no hydroponics researched at the time)

had a heat wave. was managing by giving people breaks in the freezer (which was barely able to keep 10 degrees over freezing anyways, so all the food was spoiling). then a solar flare hit, and everyone stroked out in a single day.

angry angry sun

Yeah when you are on a seasonal map anything that ♥♥♥♥♥ with growing season bites. This season it was Volcanic Winter on the 8th of spring. Luckily it didn't last long. Last year it was blight so I have had no healing packs for a whole year. I have been rationing my real ones for infections and surgeries. :(

Another fun one is heat wave or cold snap and solar flare or eclipse. Yeah, no power and unsurvivable environment is a fun one. At least with cold you can light campfires all over the place.

I heard you can burry yourself deep in a mountain to avoid the harsh heat by making a series of small rooms. i guess you might over heat before you get far enough.

my clonists were starving, five of them then get malaria including the only cook, then I get raided, then an infestation appears in a nearby mountain, then as all colonists were starting to go insane due to them starving a blight hits and destroys 4/5ths of my crops that were 80-90% and then i get raided again.

All of this was within a couple of days. smh randy savage

Man hunting rhinos, raid right after the rhinos left, (took 2 days for the rhinos to leave) poison ship, then finally an infestation in an abandoned mine next to my base.

A 12 day toxic fallout with a poison ship at day 3 and a dry lightning storm at day 9. We all burned to death while choking on our guts.

New at the game, got my 4th try on this game. Going Cassandra rough with one colonist. This time i really focused on doing things right and the start went well, got my 2nd dude and a third. Had a decent base and a good storage. Then i realized to late that my 2nd colonist was a pyromaniac. The alert called, and when i went to the place my whole base was lit on fire. In the end nothing was left. GG !!

Had only one guy to the base, second scenario,
Put one turret,
But then there is a solar flare, so the turret is not functionning, and i'm attacked just after

Not so much as a failure, but I've currently got a mountain base functioning quite well, but no hydroponics. A Nuclear Fallout just happened and my potatoes can only last so long. I have no meds left and traders haven't come by since it's fall.

Soo many but the chain of events usually starts with either a pyro or a solar eclipse :D

Well, it was a couple of colonies ago, for reasons that will soon become clear:

1. We land, and immediately start setting up camp and I get so caught up with the infrastructure that I forget to arrange for meals.

2. We get raided by the first pirate, who is shot by our doctor. She is, incidentally, the only one with shooting skill.

3. Starvation soon sets in because they ran out of meals and I don't have a kitchen, or stove, or growing thingies yet.

4. Doctor eats the raw corpse of the pirate. She has a mental breakdown, where she strips off all her clothes and wanders around in a daze.

5. A heat wave causes the other colonists to collapse from heatstroke. One by one, having no medical treatment, they die.

6. Doctor eats the raw corpses of the other colonists. Goes insane more.

7. Doctor now completely off the rails. Runs around more during heat wave.

8. I give up on the colony. Presumably she takes up a career as a serial killer cannibal in the hills or something.

Just to cheer you up, i had an AMAZING line of events lol.

First a raid of like 20 guys showed up

Then a heat wave occurred (thankfully i was dug into the mountains already with hydroponics)

Had raiders fall over from heatstroke, then put them into prison

Sold them for a MASSIVE profit to the first ship that flew by.
