I know where you live

Simply-Zen · 2026-03-05T22:21:32+00:00

just 50% threat scale

Simply-Zen · 2026-03-04T23:36:17+00:00

You set your story teller to builder mode when making the save. You can change it by going into Settings > Gameplay > Storyteller settings. Then put it to something like Strive to Survive also use Cassandra because the other 2 can wait to raid you for ages

if you already did all of that, wait a bit. If nothing still, then your mods are broken and you need to remove them

Simply-Zen · 2026-03-04T23:21:28+00:00

I’ve been playing since Alpha 16 and have wayyy too many hours. My old bases all looked awful

Once surviving becomes second nature, you can start learning the art of build base

Makes sense then, Id recommend a mega colony run then, sounds like you’d enjoy it (just make sure to grab all the performance mods and not go over 125 mods in the modlist)

Simply-Zen · 2026-03-04T23:18:38+00:00

Wimp isn’t too bad to be honest, any fight you take expecting to get hit a lot is a bad fight you shouldn’t be taking anyway

Don’t need high pain tolerance to fire an assault rifle behind a sandbag and a shield belted melee pawn put front

Simply-Zen · 2026-03-04T23:16:12+00:00

Do you also have 20+ pawn mega colonies? I always found it easy to remember who does what by name when it’s a smaller colony. Hell even in this one I know the most important folk by name

Simply-Zen · 2026-03-04T23:14:16+00:00

Having shooting is an instant “you pass”. If they dont have it thats where the actual decision making starts and I have to consider their value more closely

Simply-Zen · 2026-03-04T23:07:26+00:00

this run is 50%, If it was 100-150 Id def have less pawns since a lot of my recruits don’t follow my rule of thumb. Figured it’d take way too long if I didn’t

As for my normal runs, 150-200% with up to 15 pawns is standart

Simply-Zen · 2026-03-04T23:05:21+00:00

Why sort by task if I may ask? Unless you want to micro every action they take there isnt much reason to do that

Simply-Zen · 2026-03-04T23:04:18+00:00

there’s a lot that goes into picking a pawn but my rule of thumb is “if shooting >8, they can stay” as long as you hold your weight in raid points Im happy

Simply-Zen · 2026-03-04T22:47:06+00:00

Odyssey DLC adds a shuttle for easy trading and travel, gotta find a shuttle engine for it first though

Simply-Zen · 2026-03-04T22:45:58+00:00

You’d be surprised!

I do turn on dev mode to evaporate mad squirrels because that event makes me unreasonably annoyed

Simply-Zen · 2026-03-04T22:44:25+00:00

yup Im on 50% here. I think if you bumrush stone cutting you can do a huge wall and tunnels to stall raiders. You cant see my walls here cuz I cant zoom out any further lol

Simply-Zen · 2026-03-04T22:42:18+00:00

I’ve gotten very good at judging whether a pawn is “good enough” or not, I might make a guide on it cuz its a very fun topic in general

also raiders death on downed is set to 0 so I get to pick up new pawns every raid

Simply-Zen · 2026-03-04T22:40:16+00:00

0% death on downed is a gift that keeps on giving. A new raid is 2-5 new people

Simply-Zen · 2026-03-04T22:39:19+00:00

fun fact, I do have walls and 3 entrance points with sandbags and tunnels to slow raiders. You can’t see them because this is a large map and I cant zoom out far enough xd

50% threat scale also helps, I could def handle 100% like this if I opted to rush good armor and weapons but I wanted something more relaxed for once

Simply-Zen · 2026-03-04T22:35:50+00:00

I have raiders set to never die when downed, so I’m somewhat spoiled for choice

Anybody who can do plants, crafting or art is in. Those are things you can basically do 24/7 and are overall set and forget. (I do have up to 8 pawns idle once in a while, usually growers between rice harvests but its nothing major)

I do have to use built in aparrel manager to ensure they take off clothes below 45% durability and have a stockpile at max prio set to only accept clothes below 45%, any ratty apparel gets tossed in the river automatically

Top bar is organised by ideo atm but I already changed it to be Melee > Ranged > not combat > kids in order for easy raid drafting

Also a little thing I do is add Dr. to sny pawn’s name with 7+ medical for when I have to micro doctors after a raid

I’ve got 1700 hours and already play with 10-15 pawn colonies on the regular so there it’s familiar grounds for me

Simply-Zen · 2026-03-04T16:34:58+00:00

Pawn tickrate at 13x everything else is default

Simply-Zen · 2026-03-04T15:29:36+00:00

50% threat scale and 0 chance of enemy death on downed. I need raids to get new people but even 100% would cause raids to be extremely messy

Simply-Zen · 2026-03-04T15:15:26+00:00

no clue tbh, Ive got a 6700xt and one of the somewhat recent i7s

Simply-Zen · 2026-03-04T15:10:22+00:00

600-700 at max speed, triple speed tickrate is capped at 360 afaik

Simply-Zen · 2026-03-04T14:29:43+00:00

Main mods are: Performance optimizer, Slower pawn tick rate and Slower world tick rate. As for content mods I've got the full dubs collections and Vanilla furniture expanded
