Dozens of different jobs, unlockable with science. As you recruit more colonists, more monsters will try to invade your colony! Build walls, dig moats and construct forts to deal with the increasing threat.

Build bridges, tunnels, stairs, overpasses and underpasses to make sure your colonists get where they want to go, and monsters don’t! Plant a banner to start your colony. I have considered trying to do a 'no perimeter wall' run or force myself to have say 4 entrances to keep it a bit more challenging, but I was wondering how others have found it or if you have any fun scenarios to try.Both colonists and monsters can find their way in your world.

I haven't had any issues with food,happiness and other supplies. I've had no problems since building my initial perimeter wall (I've currently only got one entrance, on my last build I had two) and it seems unless you make a dumb mistake when expanding or recruit a lot without considering defence nothing goes wrong.and things going wrong is where a lot of the fun can come from. The 'tower defence' and logistics is what interests me, but so far I'm finding it maybe too easy. I do try and make varying builds and make them look ok but I'm not great at making impressive builds and it's not really what interests me beyond a dabble. I'm not huge in to the 'make things pretty' side of it. I do think I'm missing out in that so far I've only played solo (I'm trying to bully a mate or two into getting it so fingers crossed) which is worth noting. I've still got plenty to do in the game and am looking forward to seeing how it goes having multiple colonies when I get there, but I'm curious how some of you who seem to have a large number of hours and many playthroughs keep it interesting? I saw the Yogscast vids and had to give it a try, had one relatively small colony (about 50) just before the latest update and since then have built a new colony which is on about 60 colonists now.
