Am I crazy or are some runs just more brutal than others, but in a forced way?
Year 1, I had a drop pod raid land in my barracks and the first shot fired by the raiders brained the pawn that was to be my leader, but it was so early I hadn't even done the ceremony yet.
Multiple times in year 1, a spouse or child of a pawn would randomly be generated in an enemy raid. Then it's happened again in year 2. My colony is currently only being sustained by my builder, and the game just generated her a son and made him one of the imperials guarding the 2 neuroformers for the Deserter quest. Previously, my Moral Guide's son was generated as a raider and died in 4 hits from an un-upgraded ghoul.
When my pen animals were starving over winter, the first crop of my hydroponic rice that I rushed to grow to save them contracted blight just before they were harvestable.
When I accepted a quest that would have 2 pirate gangs raid me, I randomly got hit with another raid simultaneously, so I was fighting off 3 factions at once.
It's like the worst thing that could happen keeps happening.
I tried to tame some horses to get to the Deserter quest outpost faster and predators proceeded to kill the fucking horses before I could tame them.
I tried to tame a boomalope in year 1 for some free chemfuel because I kept running low on power and a fucking meteorite crushed it and set off a forest fire, destroying a swath of the woodland I had marked for chopping for my wood-powered generators.
Just what the fuck. I'm not even playing on Randy.
