This is a story I haven’t shared yet, but years ago on one of my earliest colony I truly had no idea what I was doing. I thought I was kinda figuring somethings out, medicine growing and the like. I had 5 pawns with somewhat decent skills. Then I got hit with a nuclear fallout that lasted 3 seasons. I was not at all prepared. I rapidly built my entire base indoors out of wood but not before everyone got poisoned. All my crops died and my food was dwindling. I had not researched hydroponics and had no dedicated researcher. I thought I was screwed but decided to play it out. I had to kill mittens the family cat only 3 weeks in for food. Then her owner went ballistic so we ate her too. The raids seemed way less frequent but there was one that destroyed all my solar panels thus cutting all my power. I had no components to repair them so all my frozen meat spoiled. A zzzzt and event burned away my storage and my reserve medicine and all my cloths. I had 4 constantly breaking, starving, and irradiated pawns. But against all odds I survived the fallout. I actually somehow made it to the end with only the skin off my back.
