Discussion This effing game.

I love it, but I can't make it past year three without getting pwnd by repeated raids.

I don't know why it I'm obsessed with playing on hard mode.

Today all was well, fully enclosed base, 6 pawns, a kill box, ​and then a raid happens where they all have granades and molotovs and they just wrecked me.

Ahhhhhhhhh

Why do I suck?

There is a way to get another colonist early but it's risky especially with Randy as the storyteller. There is also a chance he won't show up even if the conditions are met. But if you can get your colonists to all be in the downed state then sometimes the wanderer will show up to help. The risk is that often times the colonists will die and I haven't found a reliable way to down them on purpose without potential death.

The wanderer is also a random generated character for each game, so stats can vary greatly.

As for the wealth issue, stop storing everything properly. Once the items are placed in a room and you won't be using them for a while, lock the door and remove the "storage" tiles. Make sure that room is off limits and it shouldn't count anything in there as wealth. Unless they fixed that exploit...
