This kinda of weirdness is why I'm subscribed. Fantastic.

Not exactly what you asked for, but I used to use the Path Avoid mod and paint those squares red to keep pawns off them. I kinda got out of the habit since you can no longer place traps directly adjacent each other and since the chance of triggering is now so low for friendlies. As long as another path is possible, I don't find friendlies even trying to walk over them anymore; mine always seem to walk between.

Asking that way.... Maybe it's been years since I've tried. Thinking back, other than the example I gave, I've only left by entering a shuttle or using the Reform Caravan button. That pops up the inventory screen and I'm pretty sure it includes all your animals and colonists by default. After that, you're instantly traveling on the world map--no exiting the temp map.

I agree, I feel like I've gotten a fair handle on everything in this game except the drug policy. I don't think it's clear. In particular, my colonists seem to ignore orders to carry drugs with them (in the previous version, anyway; I haven't yet used the drug policy in v1.6).

I haven't had problems with caravan animals for quite a while. I hitch my horses on temporary maps to keep them simultaneously near the loot and out of lines of fire, but it shouldn't be necessary if you're only in a place for a short time. The last time I did one of those quests where you hack a holy relic/computer, I didn't bother hitching. As soon as I'd finished the hack, I had my pawns flee the map on foot and my horses followed automatically (ignored by the natives).

You don't have any? Do you feel like you have decent grasp of the base game? If not, I wouldn't worry about adding anything extra yet. They all add significantly more complexity and that's probably not good if you're still trying to internalize the core mechanisms.

If you're ready for an expansion, I would recommend Royalty first. It adds more types of missions, royal titles, psychic powers, and new gear (clothing, armor, weapons, etc.).

It's today, I think. It also adds birds and various other animals, but who wants to eat crow or baby seal when you can eat giant bugs?

What a terrible font on the pail. I zoomed in to read it, but still didn't realize that it said "graft" until I read your description/comment. I thought it said craft, which made no sense.

Yep, I've had days like that.

Yeah, I just keep looking at the lady two seats over. She does not want to be there. I don't think she knew what she was signing up for.

Good heavens! It's as if the Ice Cream Bunny was crossed with Immortan Joe from "Mad Max."

<pant, pant> Finally. I'll rest a bit here

How telling it is that a headline like this is not immediately recognized as a fake.

Tribal wear is good idea. I usually think pants and shirt and that's harder to coordinate.

It's easy enough to restrict the quality level of the item allowed there. Unfortunately, iirc, tribal wear is one of the higher-value goods (per unit of material) to craft and you can't directly set a preference on the type of material or overall value when designating a storage space.

The main thing is that you (outside of mods, obviously) can't force a prisoner to put it on. I've had people spend days being obstinately naked rather than putting on the clothing I had so generationally provided.

"threat points" is the currency that the storyteller uses to generate events. The more it spends, the more dangerous the event.

Oh, true. And it being a gym also supports the "ass" angle.

They didn't say "a piece of," just "a piece." Since we're talking about slang and since "a piece" is slang for "a gun," we're forced to conclude that the advertisement is for a gun shop.

Close. That /is/ Antman in the cannon, but it was technically a crossover in a Fantastic 4 comic: F4 #16, Jul. 1963, according to my note. As for context, I don't remember exactly what was going on but I had clipped three panels:

Whomever you can? You'd rather have an aneurysm than talk to either of us? I knew I wasn't your favourite, but....

Every time you enter the bathroom, BAM! You wonder if the rest of the house has finally shorted out your visual cortex and given you monochromacy. When you leave it, however, the assault continues. Yay?
