All colonies are merely a stopgap measure of resources gathering so we can begin the true game, hotel management!

I always end up with:

• Crappy prisons
• “Tattered clothing”
• cowboy heads
• Assault riffles
• Amazing sculptures
• Food shortages
• Way too big raids
• Death

I use most of VE and CE, I dont even know what Im doing anymore

Play until my computer turns into an oven

I often keep playing in the same chunk, over and over, and periodically send older colonists to the space.

A big psychite farm is also always a given. My rational brain knows the meaning of the words “wealth management”, but my playing hands don’t.

I don’t do organ farming for main profit. It’s just a way to maximise the output of the raiders. They feel so much like DF goblinite, it would be a waste to let their corpses decompose. Eventually my base is full of human leather sofas, but people would wear more protective gear instead.

Currently I’m also running an eugenics project, with Biotech and a custom xenotype (cat race). My idea is to create ubercolonists out of the six races with inheritable genes. Might become a staple of my playthroughs.

My colonists have decent weapons, decent armor, defenses and lodging, but what they really have is games and food. Tons of it. #1 place to game, dine, and get drunk. Or have your coffee, if you don’t drink.

I usually go rough start but with legendary weapons & water wheel/solar panel, then just see what happens.

it gets kinda boring if there’s no challenge, but naked start is too hard
