The biggest issue I've had is turret friendly fire. I've defeated plenty of mech raids including ones with centipedes and inferno cannons.

I'm not a killbox expert but this killbox has been pretty good for me.

imum amount of supplies needed to create a fully functional ship is as follows: 1,740 740 294 42 12 74 1 AI persona core More may be used to allow for more than.

Dirt trailed on constructed floors makes for a much worse beauty and cleanliness penalty than using dirt floors, so this can actually make your rooms look better and be 'cleaner' Until you have enough manpower to spare for cleaning jobs, use the terrain directly instead of building any floors. Cons: This killbox can be quickly compromised by a hostiles which is using the shield belt or the smokepop belt. Since the pawn is faster than the enemies, it can kite pretty effectively and stay out of range while sniping any sappers.

Also, the killbox itself I will occasionally put down a wood floor, then intentionally burn it and not repair it.

In difficult raids, I would light the wooden floors in the trap maze or the killbox on fire.

This was followed by another set of open doors before my killbox, which also had wooden floors.

I had a sort of wide trap maze before my kill box that had a bunch of granite columns, granite traps, open doors, and wooden floors as well as an access corridor with lots of locked doors leading to my base.

g attackers until they are in range of your own forces, preventing them from being able to take cover once inside the killbox, and using sandbags to force them to walk.

I feel that the defensive structures have been not. I've done literally hundreds of hours testing different killbox designs in both 1.0/1.1, and I'm saddened to reach the conclusion that a true, sustainable and effective killbox is no longer a viable option in 1.1. Again, I'd like to set context for this determination: I have over 8,000 hours playing RimWorld, and had no intention on slowing. Then you add in that you know what to expect on every raid. Sure, you get attached to your dudes, but mainly because you are afraid to send them into battle and you have to micromanage every movement. Your colonists have armor that's really just a slight prevention of the random attacks. You have walls and doors that are targets. In RimWorld, you have paper thin turrets and inaccurate mortars. Setting lots of grazing animals around the outside of the. Keep in mind that building such amounts of floors usually requires huge amounts of building materials- if you have stone on hand it is better to build a perimeter wall out of stone instead, with the added advantage of fortifying defenses. You can help RimWorld Wiki by uploading images to make this article better. if you roof all but the area immediately in front of your shooters, and hold it up with wooden walls, with IEDs around the base, roof collapses offer collateral damage. wood traps are for downing pawns, steel or (if you're dumb rich) plasteel or uranium for Maximum TurboMurder. cheaper than wood floors if you're growing cotton, quite burny. But IIRC they can learn about traps and for some time have the knowledge of their position. Another bonus to this open setup is that drop pods have a much higher chance of landing right in your killbox While giving a movement bonus to raiders, covering your killbox in flooring will prevent any trees growing there for raiders to take cover behind Put a door next to your killbox entrance, your pawns will just take the doors, enemies with go through the box. The singular entrance to the entire colony is the beginning of the steel trap maze, colonists and visitors go through the steel door maze bypasses/steel trap rearm doors.

The entrances to the killbox are behind the Vulcan cannons.
