Looks fine, but also like just another steam early access game thatll need like 5 years to be finished, as long as its not abandoned.

[@Eventide215]

@@termitreter6545 5 years is an extreme exaggeration.. 5 years is how long it takes to make an entire game. Depending on team size, it needs like 6 months to a year for it to be ready for a full release in my opinion. It already has great bones, it just needs content now and polish.

[@termitreter6545]

@@Eventide215 Then you probably have very little experience with early access games, 5 years isnt anything special. Thats how long Rimworld took; Prison Architect was 3 years, Factorio 7. And 3D is usually more effort than 2D. Like im sorry to say it, but expecting 6 months is just naive. Thats the kind of optimisim that tons of people go into early access with, and then get really frustrated if the game takes an eternity to complete, if it ever happens. GM is a very barebones game right now, missing most of its features and very rough in the little it has. Completing such a game takes a long time.

[@forgottenzero897]

Tip on the Root Cellar/Food Storage, from a player with more than 300 hours in game: Shelves hold 3 tiles worth of resources, and add to the _Shelf life_ of Food and more. Be sure to set the Priority level of Each Shelf appropriately to your needs. (Low to Very High) Keep at least 2 tiles width of un-mined ground, between the cooler and any heat generation. Do not place your _Cooler_ food storage directly above, below or next to any heat generating rooms, or Heat generating Work Stations like Kilns, Brasiers, Kitchens, etc. Minimum Best depth is 2 levels underground. Also place a door that goes into the Root Cellar to prevent loss of coolness. Ice blocks will help keep temperatures down through mid Summer. I place 4 to 6 Tiles worth along each wall off my root cellar.

[@AnomalyINC]

Anyone who just randomly says "I'm a good person. You'll see." is exactly the kind of person who would prosper in the medieval ages.

[@chrisxd146]

2 years on and the game has made decent progress, albeit a bit slow. It seems the complexity added by incorporating a multi-level system has prevented significant development of core mechanics/features, such as: - Flammability (hazards in general) - Cave generation - POIs - Workshop support - Mounted defenses - Colonist relationships - World Traversal - Imprisonment (necessary for accumulating extra pawns outside of random chance) - Debug mode (critical for fixing game breaking bugs, such as pawns disappearing) There are still several issues with the following: - Job priorities (e.g. choosing to mine a tile further away than the one next to them) - Combat (pawns have ~0.5s delay between executing commands) - Temperature (multi-story buildings turn into saunas during the summer) - Pathing/Spawning (the game regularly fails to check whether there are valid paths from the edge of the map to the settlement before spawning events) - Pathing/Jobs (pawns will still routinely get stuck in holes if given a blanket mine command) - Building/Priority (pawns will build multi-story buildings in a seemingly random order rather than layer by layer despite sufficient stability) - Enemy Raids (trebuchets are still ridiculously powerful, and still do not have a proper counter) It's a fun game for sure, but much like Rimworld it's a game that would benefit greatly from a modding community to keep the game alive.

A great way to counter trebuchet fire (aside from a pre-emptive strike) is to have pre-built towers connected by underground tunnels all around the map. That way, your archers can run to the nearest tower and take out the raiders before they can attack your settlement proper Edit: Also keep your hot stuff (smelters, smokehouses, etc) off of the same level as your food storage to prevent rot. (I like a two-level difference, but I play things safe)
