I think two factions were on the map together and started shooting at each other. Or there was some kind of fight in a group. Either way one of the NPC pawns blue his shit up.

@@tubaboytom oh I get it now ty

Apparently, you need to cover the lower left tile of the morter. The other 3 tiles don't matter at all. As far as the lower left tile is unroofed, it can apparently fire normally.

I think it was in dubs mint menus but I had it dissabled orginally you have to enable and configure it

This is the mechonoid intrusion biome from alpha biomes and the menu is from Dubs Mint Menus. Mint wheel in the keybinds.

There's nothing wrong with using meta or unconventional methods. We shouldn't gatekeep gameplay.

@@jhn4399 I meant was it was the meta "shuriken" hydroponics layout

Thank you! 😄

You're right! HOLY COW! Ill keep that in mind next time! Thanks! Verified on the wiki - "A niche use may be against mech clusters added by the Royalty DLC, where the ability to access them in the early game and high building damage can aid in rapidly destroying turrets in a few strikes. At high qualities and with the right material, this can even kill the large turrets in a single strike."

Dubs Mint Menu, check keybinds for "Mint Wheel"

@@jhn4399 thanks man

It was actually meant to describe the general effectiveness and benefits of using shield belts, rather than specifying the item's quality level as 'good'.

I am very particular on what mods I add, I really enjoy modded gameplay but I tend to enjoy vanilla gameplay more if that means my game runs well. Here is my current mod list. Noteworthy performance mods: [FSF] Filth Vanishes With Rain And Time - Filth and dirt slows down your game, the best way to describe it is if you can see it on your screen its using part of your ticks per second. This includes your colonist bar etc so after a battle or food poisoning there may be a lot of dirt, flith or vomit on the ground which takes up some of your speed so this gets rid of it quicker than normal. RocketMan Default Ingredient Radius - keeping your ingredient radius low really speeds things up since the game isnt having to look across the entire map to check on ingredients for the current bill on a workbench or stove.

@@jhn4399 Do you know what mod causes freeze every few minutes?

Stats dont usually matter to me but I typically give shield belts to tough pawns so he was most likely tough. The masterwork shield belt did most of the work though. The mod at the end was "Dubs Mint Menus" and in the keybinds you have "Mint wheel" bind that and you are pretty much set.

I was pretty far into the game and could have finished it earlier, but I decided to dig out a big space in the mountain because bugs like to spawn in dark, hidden places. This trick doesn't work every time, but it often lets you choose where the bugs appear. Once you set it up, just place some fire bombs and wooden stuff inside. It's really fun to watch everything catch fire and the bugs get taken out!
