Welcome to Dry Bones Fortress! Here we have:

  1. Stupid waste of space and efficiency because of separate buildings doctrine instead of superiority of single mega-building.
  2. Even more ridiculous concept of rooms of even size with double doors.
  3. Wood and clay as main building materials.
  4. Belarusian (or Irish) vibe with potatoes and linen, crossovering with camels and sands.
  5. Funny eldritch piece of metal that constantly peels tumor meat that becomes just meat after drying and so became our main source of protein.
  6. Primitive moisture pumps that freed us from scourge of soft and we have no idea how they work ( i hope Village Guy will clarify on that, after all it's his mod, thanks for it btw)
  7. Killbox that looks less like box thanks to embrasures and trenches only to be more OP.
  8. Fields of gardening boxes, well-known method of people in medieval times surviving in regions without arable soil. (Don't ask how gardening boxes got soil in them in a first place).
  9. Emerald/silver rec/dining room that we painted in wood to not ruin colony look, but still shines and makes colonists happy.
  10. Lots of cheese because medieval overhaul mod author didn't check numbers and made cheese production multiply nutrition by 8.5. Also, how camel cheese tastes?
  11. Treasury room just to give us bigger raids.
  12. Innovative way of storing resources outside because otherwise tons of resources that medieval overhaul mod adds confuse me and sorting them out like this helps.
  13. Regular abortions because, unlike contraception, they exist in medieval times.
  14. Mines as infinite source of coal that make extreme climate medieval colonies possible. Just like in my previous medieval colony with different medieval mods six years ago.
  15. Like 2 rains for 15 years.

Starring:

  1. Galou Alpaca, who started this colony from naked tribal brutality, and his highmate wife Lisa.
  2. Half of colony of their descendants.
  3. Among which their both granddaughter and great granddaughter Neveo because somewhere along the way family tree got intertwined branches.
  4. Lermacanrei, Galou's daughter and our shooting specialist who turns her arbalest into fully automatic weapon thanks to: Trigger happy (-50% to aiming time), Shooting specialist bonus (Another -50% to aiming time), Quiver (-75% to weapon cooldown), and with shooting skill 19 and legendary arbalest also lands almost every shot. Also, her name rocks.
  5. Camisa, another his another daughter who got eyes plucked off for extra psychic sensitivity because sorry, we don't have much options on raising sensitivity there.
  6. Vexa, surprisingly someone's else daughter, our crafting specialist who made legendary arbalest for Lermacanrei
  7. Vortex, creepy joiner with unnatural healing who we violently convinced to stay because she is our only way to keep full set of limbs on everyone.
  8. 15 out of 24 colonists total who were born here. Not counting 2 stillborns in sarcophagi.
  9. Another 5 dead on cemetery because eh, it looks stupid when everyone walks in heavy armor, and there is no middle ground like flak armor in vanilla, so i let them to just catch arrows.

Overall, i recommend for everyone to play medieval colonies from time to time. It's fun when you have so much to do even without electricity thanks to mods that make life harder!
