I just discovered this game, I’m on my third base, it’s my first one that’s not totally screwed over and kind of functions.

The base got attacked by a pack of mad wolves. One of my colonists fought off three, but her leg was ripped off in the melee.

She was the only one who could operate the machine mill, so after a lot of rest she hauled steel across the base, milled her own prosthetic leg, and when I checked her stats the only thing keeping her from a mental break was a bonus for loving her work!

Then my retired/marooned assassin, now the colony doctor and janitor, attached the leg and she’s back to normal, just with a lot of scars and no nose.

This game generates some really fun and memorable moments, it’s amazing

I will also not forget my first base. A visitor walked in to my camp to find a bunch of starving people, two in drug dependency caused comas, everything covered in blood, vomit, or both, and a half eaten corpse on the table. They still traded with us, but not having anyone who could clearly communicated meant they overcharged us.
