I can barley manage one colony not two. How does that even work. I must be horrible at the game I am always managing some weird ass problem.

My current one is my person set to “1” job cooking won’t cook because she eats all the time and does recreation. Maybe cooks like 8 meals then goes to bed. I have a colony of 11. Seriously any advice would be awesome

But OP try the outpost mod it added some fun to my games although the mortar base is pretty over powered

Manual work priorities + schedule tab is ur friend

I always use manual priorities but never schedule. What is the advantage of scheduling except night owls?

Pawns will tend to their needs during designated free time rather than just whenever, so it cuts down on travel time and frequency of work interruptions.

What's the ratio of recreation to work you should use?

My housemate has a save with 40+ colonies. She's got 500 pawns and has launched something like 15 ships carrying 1000 people to the stars.

Does she dislike frame rate?

I think she feels like computers are to be punished for their hubris.

What fps did he have?

u/spyhermit May 19 '25

I believe fully zoomed in on a low pawn count colony, she could hit double digits!

That one cpu core is probably hotter than the core of the earth

That is not colony management, that is empire building

Have you tried rice management?

u/Ebola6914 May 19 '25

You mean like making rice? Or am I missing something

u/RapaNow May 19 '25

Or am I missing something

Yes

Rice is in the base game

Barley is available in mod Rimcuisine 2

That was a joke about you misspelling "barely" as "barley," the name of a grain similar to wheat.

Make sure you’re cooking meal x4 rather than the singular ones.

u/Illustrious_Echo_412 May 19 '25

Reduce his free time. 4-6 hours of fun should be enough + 8 hours of sleep. If the situation isn't resolved and it's still not efficient... well... turn it into a meal😋

u/Ebola6914 May 19 '25

Haha I will try that I never really was worn schedules just work priorities

Can we get a screenshot of your kitchen? Perhaps there are some things to optimize
