Don't destroy that unminable wall, you're not ready! Love these videos, its always fun watching new people play games you've spent far too many hours on, you're picking it up super fast :)
Love that series, seeing you learn is really enjoyable. I dont want to just tell you do and donts, but if you have trouble with hungry animals, maybe have a look into stockpiles ...maybe they can help you out a bit if case the land turns barren again
You need to place a Pen Marker inside your Pen. The marker will let colonist and animals know that it is a Pen. Also it will give you information on how much natural food the Pen produces per day as well as the amount of natural food the animals inside the Pen eat. When I say natural food i mean grass that grows naturally and not grass that your are actively sowing. If you want to have more natural food you need to increase the size of your Pen. Once you have a larger pen you can then build a barn. A barn is simply a wooden room, but the door is an "animal flap" this is a special door that animals can use that connects the barn with the rest of the pen. Also u want to have the barn floor made of hay. The idea of a barn is to protect animals from bad weather or other dangers and also have a place to sleep. You can create animal sleeping spots inside the barn. You can also have shelves on the barn to place Hay or Kibble. You can even put air conditioner and set the room temperature at -2C. This way the hay inside the barn wont go bad. Your animals wont suffer from -2C.
Great to see an update! Don't forget to consider your room temperature... Those coolers will cool one side and heat the other, also some buildings will generate heat, like those generators. I noticed your workshop area was around 55C, not so comfy :)
Okay, don't know how much people have covered already: *Looks like you've got a stockpile zone for your animal food. You're going to want that enclosed though. Build a small barn with regular walls off the edge of your pen and use an Animal Flap for the door and put your animal feed stockpile in there. *Also you'll need a big haygrass field OUTSIDE of the pen to grow hay to stockpile for them. Animals eating the growing haygrass get less nutrition than if they eat the harvested hay *You're going to want double walls around that freezer, especially in the Summer. Double walls insulate better than single walls. Unfortunately, beyond that doesn't help. *Also on the freezers, have "airlocks" for the doors: Door outside, empty space, door inside. You'll lose less cold air out the door when you go in and out *Have your stove in a small room by itself. Make sure it's kept clean. That will reduce food poisoning risk. Also need to make sure you have a floor in there. DEFINITELY don't have the butcher table in the same room with the stove(s). *Use the hidden conduits 1.5 added. They cost more steel, but they are immune to "ZZZT!" events. *As far as mods go, RimHUD is hugely helpful. The pawn info window will tell you a LOT more about the pawn when you select them.
Common sense and allow tool are both great mods. There’s also vanilla textures expanded if you want some improved textures Also I would suggest running your conduits through your walls as room beauty is extremely important. Lastly put recreational stuff in your dining room because they get mood buffs for both rooms at the same time
My favourite aesthetic mod is called Interaction Bubbles. It takes all the text in the social tab and puts it into speech bubbles; you can see what they are talking about or what kids are learning just by watching and not by scrolling through their information. Another one I like using is called Avatar, it just generates a pixel art version of your colonists' faces in their tab when you click on them.
I saw interaction bubbles but was worried it would be too cluttered on the screen, but you like it? It’s good? I will definitely check Avatar out, that sounds perfect!
@@missfunerella If you go to options then mod settings, you can adjust the size of the bubble, size of font, colours of the text and bubble, how close you have to zoom to actually see it, the opacity, etc. if you like the idea but think the default look is too much
You can use "link settings button" when you select a shelf to link together several shelfs. This way when you change what is going to be on the shelf it auto changes for the whole group. Also if you build a new shelf and want to have it hold exactly what the linked group has, you can left click one of the linked shelves and shift click the new shelf that you are building and then click the link button (you can even shift click the blueprint of the new shelf you are building on the floor, so that when it finishes building it will already have the settings of the linked group).

Too late!!! Haha you will see in the next video!
And thank you!!

Thank you so much for saying that!
And yeah I recently learned that you can prioritize certain stockpiles, so will do!

Putting the butcher table in the same room as the Stove increases the chance of food poisoning a lot. Consider separating them.
Thanks!
