I think I've figured out how I want to build a colony now.

I packed up all my stuff and moved to a new area with my colonists.

Third spring in my new home. I've doubled my walls and rebuilt my killbox to use shotguns. I've also expanded my indoor growing area.

Summer of the next year. I've built out some more farming to get some food supplies, deathstrand and cotton. I've also built a mortar area. I'm currently trying to figure out pigs.

My killbox design is working well, but I want to change things up...

My first winter in the new area just started. I've moved my killbox to be as close as possible to the core of my base, but I haven't gotten to test it against a good raid yet!

I'm building a wall around the entire quadrant I'm occupying. I'm selling my extra animals but it's seemingly hard to sell them quickly enough!!

If you make square rooms that are 21x21 you can support it with a single pillar in the center/wall.

I built my killbox and had my first raid, unfortunately they didn't path into my base. I think I need to move the killbox closer to the center of my base.

You're gonna need a lotta chemfuel for those generators
