Except for the first, which I used to create an ignition surface, those are Smokepowder Barrels which inflict Force Damage upon exploding

at that point the "compressed raiders" mod becomes manditory

Custom difficulty Randy Random, pretty much between Strive to Survive and Blood and Dust. I vary the percentage depending on what I feel like during playing. Main problem has always been that on higher difficulty percentages the raid sizes would just become ridiculously large. (I'm not using "Compressed Raid" (yet).) I also don't enjoy playing on commitment mode for this game, I enjoy finding solutions, not seeing my base which I poured weeks of my time into burn down. So I save when a threat arrives and work out how to deal with them. The colony before this I had an Outlander or Pirate raid arrive while I was still running muskets (Yayo's Combat limits what I can use due to ammo). After several attempts I had to accept defeat, just could not beat them, especially because I had several threats shortly before. I also have sappers disabled because they give me an aneurism due to the way they destroy the map - really wish they'd not tunnel through every mountain to get to my base and make sense with their tunneling - and wish their tunneling speed was more realistic. Getting 500+ tribals isn't a challenge, just a nuissance. So I really wish the raids would focus on throwing more difficult factions or better equipped enemies at you in late game, instead of simply ever bigger cannonfodder. So I'm contemplating disabling pre-industrial factions or at least tribals for my next run. Long story short, in the beginning raids are usually hard, while in late game they offer little challenge anymore and I have yet to find a way to push the difficulty further to end game.

Yeah i get turning off sappers. they make settling without a long line of mountain walls around you impossible in the higher difficulties. My last base had the mountain and a 4 wall thick line of reinforced walls with 1500hp around the actual guts of the base in order to dissuade the sapper AI from going through them, I think only with ~40 cells worth of mountain walls + reinforcement walls did they actually go for my secondary entrance, which was an intentionally eazy to break long tunnel with the HE shell line type trap for sappers. That is the only way IMO to deal with them annoying fuckers. Making refrigerated mountain bases even more meta. turning off pre tribal raiders is actually a great idea, ill probably incorporate it in my next playthrough. I also don't know what compressed raiders are. but if they help raids performance, by god ill take it.

@@Videos553 Compressed Raiders is a mod that lets you set a maximum raid size but for every Raider that was "compressed" all other Raiders get a pre-determined set of Buffs. This includes stats, bionics, improved equipment, drugs, and I think a few other things that I can't remember right now. It's fully customizable to your liking as well. It's honestly one of the best mods for people that don't play on commitment mode.

I just use the vanilla trainable combat animal mechanics - as In, train for combat, assign to drafted pawn, set animals to attack.

There's a mod called "Progress Renderer" which can be set up to automatically take a screenshot at certain ingame time intervals. If I remember correctly I had it set to one screenshot per day at 08:00h. Once the colony was finished (after many weeks of playing), I used a command-line tool called "ffmpeg" to merge all those screenshots into a video.

@@SLD127YTThank yo so much for the info, that's actually really helpful :)

I love these too, but i'm a fcking retard who can't make a circle even if his life depends on it
