I’ve always found the best defense against infestation is to just compartmentalize the tunnels with doors, and then start a fire in the infested area, burning out all the insects.

[@TheMajorpickle01]

or just instantly kill it. I find infestations really unfun - kill them as they spawn and it's trivial, let them breed for even a season the second they aggro they'll completely wipe you off the map

[@nukesrus2663]

Easier said than done in my case as I built my nuclear reactor (Rimatomics) under a mountain

[@corrupt1user]

Insects die in cold temperatures; if you cool your underground mountain base to below -8C, the insects don't spawn. The problem is keeping your pawns happy in the cold if you don't like parkas, especially if you have guests who can't be given proper gear, and a solar flare can heat up your base enough to allow a spawn. As for mined-out mountains, insects have to have at least 2 adjacent "overhead mountain" tiles to spawn, which can be prevented by creating a checkerboard of walls in the mined-out area, if you have the spare bricks.

[@nukesrus2663]

@Haloguy3959 Usually how I handle it as well. I've got one fella who's essentially Adam Smasher but with psycasts. Or if I just can't be bothered I delete the tunnels in dev mode lol. Infestations are annoying.

try again but instead of summoning insects, use stuff like VE Genetics to make your own insectoids (even works with VE Insectoids to let you make the insectoid creator device rather than having to rely on getting it in a quest) also Alpha Animals has a psycast line that lets you summon black insectoids

[@lechking941]

[@Delendar90]

I wanted to comment this when the dwarf colony video was released, but forgot, im not sorry. But yeah if you want to get rid of a metric ton of corpses, stuff you dont want or infestations, you can set up an oven zone. Just let it cook, eventually anything alive will die from a heatstroke or on fire and any flammable object will be reduced to nothingness, mostly because ashes dont exist in this game. Whenever i start strip mining, i seal the entrance and add something to heat up the insides, if infestation pops up, they'll be cooked alive before they get to do anything. Kill zones too, seal them from both sides, turn up the heat and problem solved.

[@blank4558]

Thank you for the tip!

[@kerianhalcyon2769]

It's interesting you took this route with your insect worship colony. Whenever I do it I generally act like they're a colonial hive, complete with a queen who produces offspring via egg laying and specialized warrior/worker/nurse genotypes to serve alongside her. Definitely going to have to try the parasitoid gene route though at some point.

As for the Taukai they are annoying to play since if you do not micromanage their tumors they can rapidly become bedridden with too many which prevents them from spending the tumors so they just stay stuck bedridden, unable to die from the cancer.
