Yeah, I feel ya on those cold climates. I love tundra/sea ice. But hey, if you want to make that work, you totally can. As long as you have soil, you can feed them mushrooms. For housing, any old barn is fine. PS I'd recommend having cows for milk and feeding them cooked meals. I did the math and they are by far the most efficient/productive animal out there. Good luck on your next playthrough, or else-

@@VenomSteak Yea I read about cows, how people use the milk to make nutrient paste meals to feed back to the cows, so you'd essentially be getting free meat as they'd be feeding themselves in essence. Chickens are just cool though, Llamas too.

its not. thats the point

The way here explained it was like its just to switch it off easy. He should of said free power hack or somthing. ​@@Lanc3Edits

Maybe I should do more like this

@lukeaberdene-wallwork-zy7wm i appreciate it

Hay is so we can know exactly how much was eaten. Dandelions work fine, like you said, unless you're somewhere cold.

Lol, nursing school. And I'm working so it's like time and a half these days

@@VenomSteak Fair enough. How's nursing school and work life balance going?

1. Yeah, you called it. I've been away for a while and this has changed a lot. 2. Think of it like "extra." Your end-game killbox will probably be bigger and badder, but _this_ one is cheaper and still very effective (against bio) 3. That's not Adam's killbox (the Singularity), it actually comes from a Chinese web forum. He just brought it to the West XD 4. The Devs _apparently_ "fixed" the Singularity killbox so that it's just not as good anymore. 5. _This_ is the most important part: There are a lot of better ways to play this game than using killboxes. Last colony I built I barely even bothered with traps. The most important thing is to know how to fight, as opposed to becoming overly reliant on "perfect," no-damage defenses. Something in this game will always come out of the woodwork and destroy your best-laid plans, which is why I'd say being flexible and clever is actually more important than having a nice killbox. But hey. It's a game. Play it for enjoyment, not for someone else's idea of how it should be played.

P.S. - "inefficient" is relative. Yes, you use traps here, but like 100 steel and some chemfuel should NOT be a major expense for a late-game colony, unless you're playing on Sea-Ice.

@@VenomSteak for point 3 i didnt mean the "Singularity" I meant his normal shotgun tunnel but its probably not his design as well. I often use Killboxes but I never depend on them I for one part play it mosty vanilla and Low shield packs and casters with good collonist can fight nearly evrything. Against big Pirat raids (drop pod or snappers" i like to shock or insanity lance them because i trade a lot and have good amount of them. or have an invisible caster berserk pulse.... but that need a highe level end game caster. So yeah i dont think on 200%-500% you need a killbox but you should have, as you said, as many back up plans as possible and your disinge does that i use Adams mini kill box as a back up. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXvXemWtrtNnoc0 I tested your kill box and it works fine, has some problems after they changed that you allways hit the object but not pawns in the "no frendly fire " range. But so does Adams

Aww not the horses! I couldn't personally, but I will say horses are the second best food animal in the game. I never did a video on it, but I went and ran a massive test on horses v. cows to see who has the best nutritional output. By a _lot_ cows win. Per cow, they produce more food with meat/milk and do it for less overall nutrition consumed. Which seems crazy since horses eat so little, but I doubled checked and the math works out.

Not sure, there's been a few updates since this video was made. My best recommendation is to 1) beef up the tox gas before they get there, and 2) put something flammable on that corner. Make it difficult for them to stay there.

I have six of them in my current killbox :D
