I finally bought Rimworld. It goes on the long list of games I'm officially crap at. That's not to say I'm not enjoying it, but sweet jesus am I bad.
I'd say I'm on game 6 or 7 now, and every time it seems it's something new that kills me (which you should read as 'sets me back enough that I start over'). One base caught on fire. One time my crop failed just as we entered winter. One time I opened an ancient shrine - that one was fun. It's always some new bottleneck or threat that ends up screwing me over.
This time, I've started as a single, naked survivor - cause I figured, that way there can't be too many bottlenecks. Right? I always need enough for precisely one person.
So three dogs joined me, out of nowhere. Joy, right? That's defence, and workforce, and companionship - all rolled into one. Only it turns out keeping three dogs and one woman with food is more than a full time job for the one with the opposable hands. So now I'm contemplating having two of the dogs become part of the food supply.
Training alone means my poor survivor goes hungry most of the time. I suppose I could turn that off, but then what's the point of the dogs in the first place.
Ohh - this game =D
You are invited to read and laugh as I detail the manifold troubles of my errant rimworld colony.
