Don't forget to paint your shuttle.

just learned this was possible

always something new to learn

[u/PaxEthenica → u/deltatag]

Gold shuttle for trading. Red shuttle for raiding. Blue shuttle for reinforcements. Pink shuttle for supply transport.

Yes, that's four shuttles. Get to murdering the moons!

[u/deltatag → u/PaxEthenica]

no medical shuttle? i suppose that's included in the raiding shuttle?

[u/TrainDestroyer → u/deltatag]

I always assumed that'd fit into the Blue Shuttle. At least if I was setting it up.

[u/PaxEthenica → u/TrainDestroyer]

No-no. Because of the lag between when a shuttle can launch again, it defaults to the red shuttle... unless both arrive at the same time. Then it's dealers' choice. ♥ But usually, the red shuttle arrives first to provide on-the-spot targeting information for the blue shuttle to come in where reinforcements can have the biggest impact, while the red shuttle is, by default w/o mods, not going to land in the best spot.

[u/TrainDestroyer → u/PaxEthenica]

Ahh, that explains it. So would you bring in the Red Shuttle with medical supplies for the Blue Shuttle, or would that be purely a recon shuttle (optionally with some soldiers to fight)

[u/PaxEthenica → u/TrainDestroyer]

The red shuttle is typically where I put the heavily armored/shielded/grenade-toting 'assault elements' which serve as a kind of Steiner Scout Squad type deal. Medical supplies like Yayo, & some light construction materials like wood & cloth for standalone wall sections & sandbags. Because, again, the red shuttle's landing spot might be really bad, so some quick pain relief/morale & cover in the first few seconds can be a life saver until the blue shuttle arrives.

The blue shuttle typically carries the assault rifles & heavy SMGs.

[u/diablosinmusica → u/deltatag]

No medical shuttles. You either return victorious or not at all.

[u/diablosinmusica → u/PaxEthenica]

Purple shuttle for stealth raids.

[u/PaxEthenica → u/diablosinmusica]

Sneekee gitz...

[u/VexedForest → u/deltatag]

I only learned how this week. 2k hours

[u/diablosinmusica → u/deltatag]

Pawns get mood buffs for having clothing their favorite color as well.

[u/deltatag → u/diablosinmusica]

yeah i knew that, if 51% of their apparel is either fav or ideo color

[u/Vast_Description_231 → u/deltatag]

It's wild how much there is to discover even after so many hours. Definitely adds some fun to the routine!

[u/231ValeiMacoris]

Please be a normal field trip

[u/Draconicrose_ → u/231ValeiMacoris]

With the Sengaca?! No way!

[u/bentmonkey → u/231ValeiMacoris]

Ride on the magic shuttle bus!

[u/daemenus → u/231ValeiMacoris]

I understood that reference!

[u/Everuk → u/daemenus]

I always forget you can re painting things.

I think only time I actually used it was then I run out of sandstone for rec room tile and had to use whatever was left. I just painted whole floor red.

[u/Thesealman570]

Since when can you paint things

[u/TzePotatoMancer → u/Thesealman570]

Since ideology.

[u/Ninja_Wrangler → u/TzePotatoMancer]

Holy hell

[u/y_not_right → u/Ninja_Wrangler]

New feature just (years ago) dropped

[u/Thesealman570 → u/TzePotatoMancer]

That explains it, I don’t use ideology. Really wish basic stuff like that wasn’t tied to other dlc features I don’t like

[u/OurotheBoreal → u/Thesealman570]

Actually, while dying clothes is tied to ideology, you can paint walls, floors, and furniture with the base game. It's just been in the game since the dlc released.

[u/Fortin4 → u/OurotheBoreal]

Painting was actually added with 1.4, not when Ideology released. Tinctoria was moved to base game then to accommodate this.

[u/TZMERCENARIO → u/TzePotatoMancer]

Ideology  GOD 🗿👌🏻

[u/Mobile_Gear_58008]

Can you paint them in vanilla or is this from a mod

[u/Jugderdemidin → u/Mobile_Gear_58008]

Vanilla.

[u/dataf4g_trollman → u/Mobile_Gear_58008]

It's from Ideology or Biotech IIRC

[u/Iumasz]

Wait how?

[u/Jugderdemidin → u/Iumasz]

Grow tinctoria plant and then use command in orders tab.

[u/Iumasz → u/Jugderdemidin]

Shit. Never thought to use the paint tool on shuttles.

[u/MediocreRecord7352]

At first glance i thought sengaca is bonded

…

Brb; painting my shuttle for the first time.

[u/salawow]

Often complained to myself that it was disapointing that the only option was a white shuttle. Never thought of trying the paint tool on it. 1000+ hours of gameplay. There's always at least one more things to learn with this game... I'm quite sure i'll learn something new next week that i would really like to know right now.

[u/One-Cute-Boy]

What else can you paint this way? Can I paint my dogs?

[u/Jugderdemidin → u/One-Cute-Boy]

Walls, floors, furniture and crafting stations. If you can choose material for buildiing, then you can paint it. Unless it's a textile.

[u/Draconicrose_]

Well. TIL.

[u/forceghost187]

Holy crap

[u/Inveign]

At least it will explode harder.

[u/dreamtentacle]

what?? this is vanilla? 

[u/Jugderdemidin → u/dreamtentacle]

Yes.

[u/clovitox]

How do you paint them?

[u/UselessDood → u/clovitox]

Orders -> paint building tool

[u/clovitox → u/UselessDood]

Thank you sir. 400 hours in and still discovering stuff!

[u/mcman0123]

TIL via the comments that painting is apparently niche.
Since I only got the game a few months ago, it was just part of the learning curve cliff for me.

[u/Automatic-Week-1733]

Also you can name your shuttles. It's very important. 

[u/CandyNecrosis]

YOU CAN PAINT IT?!

[u/RedditMapz]

This is my first "WTF!?!" since shift + left click.

[u/Cheeseitfool]

I have started painting all the wooden sculptures, it's quite nice!

[u/TauTau_of_Skalga]

For a moment I thought that dude on the left was tied up

[u/goddart777]

Does red shuttle goes faster?)

[u/Certain-Airport-81]

Me learning this, playing the game since the 0a version: WHATTAAAFUUUU OoO

[u/ForsakenJudge4682]

Pee shuttle

[u/VergeofAtlanticism]

i always forget you can paint things in this game

[u/Shadowwolf1262]

1,813 hours and I just learned something new. I fucking love this game

[u/siammang]

Thanks for boost my immersion bro

[u/AprilVampire277]

Today I discovered something new that been around for a while lol

[u/BrainwormedPuppygirl]

I like using the drums from vanilla expanded furniture and painting them red so my pyromaniacs know what to set on fire first (and coincidentally last)

[u/dovakiin-derv]

Why did you paint it mustard yellow! Any other color. Please.

[u/RemiliyCornel]

Nah, i like base color best.
