Ediot
I used up an ideoligion point and changed the colonist reaction to dead bodies from distressing to don't care. The raids are getting bigger and piles of corpses are getting stacked to the rooftops, it makes no sense to clutch pearles at the sight of the dead raider #8943. Cleaning up after the raids has also become a time consuming issue, so minty made a flamethrower
and was happy to use it
This is the second step in Ediots quest for autarky, the deep drill for underground mining
and while the Ediots didn't find the resurrector serum in the crypt, it does contain a great reward, the cryptosleep caskets
now is the time for the chicken contingency plan to take effect: Nisse and Dua Cheepa have produced their first offsprings, and have been anaesthetized
and placed in the caskets where they will slumber like the chicken Pharaos of old, ready to emerge and repopulate the world again if there is ever a need
also, not only the raids are growing in size, the psychic drones are growing in intensity, and unused caskets can be used to safely stash the colonists that are affected the worst.
A toxic fallout started, and a big impid raid arrived
The Ediots tried to provoke the mechanoids guarding the defoliator ship to attack so they would run into the impids, but they didn't take the bait. Should have mortared their ship, but oh well. Both parties had to be handled the usual way and that was the last humanoid raid the Ediots will see for the next three months, which were just mechanoids.
And now a short detour into the world of genetics. Here are waster genes, some are great, some are shit. The great ones increase metabolic rate, meaning a greater need for food. The shit ones decrease it. In your average waster they are balanced, with the efficiency of zero.
and here are the genes of Heidi's half waster daughter, little Stormtrooper, the one I said was a genetic mess. You will notice a lot of shit genes are missing, and her hunger rate is 200% (needs 6 meals a day).
So a new combo of genes was created to negate this. The blue ones with a minus are ordinary positive, the ones with a plus and a red downward arrow are the negative offsets, and the yellow ones are from vampires.
Demonic also got his first temporary set of genes while the gene library is slowly growing
Too bad there's no bloodlust trait this time, it would go well with this
Now like I said, for three months the Ediots saw nothing but mechanoid raids and clusters, and the biggest one was 97 shotgunners
It ended with a lot of wounded and people needing days to recover, but wasn't a disaster I anticipated.
The crypt was infested again, and the exterminator was deployed
Year 12 started, and at long last an ordinary raider part appeared
at the same time a pack of wargs arrived, but unfortunately the two parties narrowly missed each other
Afterwards came two groups of Yttakin with rocket launchers
First softened up with incendiary mortar shells
and then wiped out, much to my relief
Decision was made to sell all the animals except the chickens, and Lumi was sent with the caravan
but the caravan of that size attracts a lot of attention, and Lumi was ambushed twice, but emerged victorious both times
Deep drilling can sometimes attract bugs,
Lurk was sent, but there was no need, as Demonic got to try his new plasmasword.
Another marriage in the colony, Lurk married the girl from the crypt
another quest was accepted, mostly to satiate Demonic's kill thirst
While most of the colonists were sent out on this quest, mechanoids attacked, and had only 4 nerds to resist them
But it was enough
Year 13 started
