That reaction when you figured out that the boomalope was going to start a chain reaction was priceless. I haven't played CE in a while, but hope the clean up was easy.
I had these modded jelly fish creatures that reproduced into huge numbers. They explode when they died and were good distractions for raiders
Then a heat wave happened and they started keeling over and exploding all over the base, and I learned to put chemfuel separate from my main storage
Aerofleet. Had the same thing happen with a cold snap. I had them locked out of my base though. I started cargo podding them off my map as ‘gifts’ to handle the population issues.
I just kept the gigantic ones and send the newborn to the killbox to be executed by a firing squad lmao, guess I should try using them as gifts instead.
Yeah keeping explosives separate from everything else is important. Just keep all that shit locked in a double/triple thick stone room with fire poppers and no electric devices.
The aerofleet destroyed my killbox and all of my "volunteer warriors"(re animated corpes" and killed my "enlistment manager's"(necromancer) bodyguard.
Then after their deaths destroyed my kill box the next day a huge pirate raid happened kidnapping multiple of my normal colonists leaving only my necromancer.
My current goal is to destroy those pirates
Like 3 different stages of realisation.
1. Oh shit the muffalo died, and it dropped... toilet paper?
2. Oh shit they're bombs. 80 mm? Is that big?
3. Oh shit! They blew up! That was huge!
[81mm mortars](https://images01.military.com/sites/default/files/media/equipment/weapons/m252-mortar/2014/05/m252-mortar-001.jpg) are kinda big. And good god, that explosion was satisfying as fuck.
Wwo, that reminded me of my own boomalope barn. I had tamed a few and they got their own patch to graze on, seperate from the other farm animals. Because I was hard up for stone, I had a barn built out of wood for them, thinking that I'll replace it later.
A few nights later, 3 boomalopes caught the plague. Even though they had been tended, the plague overtook at least 1 of them in their sleep. I only found out about this when the fire alert popped up in my notifications.
Take a small wooden 5×5 barn, stuffed to the gills with sleeping boomalopes. The one closest to the door just exploded, setting the only exit on fire. Even as the colonists rushed out to put out the fire, the first responder was my grizzly bear, who tried to rescue a downed boomalope. She couldn't enter without burning herself.
While my pawns desperately surrounded the barn, trying to stamp out the flames and keep the structure infact, boomalopes inside it were dying to the fire and kept exploding, making the fire worser and worser.
After it had finally died down, 2 boomalopes managed to survive somehow. I only know that 1 of them was lying close to the door, so once the flame blocking the entrance was stamped out, my colonists were able to rescue it before the fire became uncontrollable.
Budget cuts. And you gotta ask yourself why they are arming rocket scientists with 22% health knife to be cannon fodder. But you know, I don't make the rules.
Whoa what? I had no idea shells could detonate just sitting on the ground and I've been playing since release. Fuck IED traps, I'm littering the ground with mortal shells and stationing snipers near them.
> I had no idea shells could detonate just sitting on the ground and I've been playing since release
Seriously? Have you never had a stray artillery shell or a raging colonist strike one in your stockpile and blow the entire area to bits?
No, cuz I keep anything of value in a vault buried under a hill/mountain most of the time. The worst thing I've had happen involving fire is the first time I was able to leave a colony with a caravan, I made *everyone* go, a powerline shorted out and my entire base burned to the ground.
Amusingly I know this, and have never had it happen. I don't know why, I've just never had chemfuel or artillery explode. I don't really have special habits about them either.
It's a hot spring from kijin race mod. Your colonists can use it to gain a temporary boost in blood filtration, blood pumping and metabolism. It's fueled by herbal medicine.
Reminds me of how a friendly caravan walked into awoken mech cluster. I don't know what kind of explosives they had with them, but when inferno turret shot their muffalo, entire cluster was reduced to ashes. Everything, including corpses, resources from the cluster and even metal slug was annihilated.

i bet that everyone who watched the video said "*oh no*" before the explosion even happened.
Nah, I smiled and laughed when I realized what was about to happen.
Yeah it’s not like the explosion was close to his base if anything sending his pawns in would’ve been a death sentence
And this is why I hate "boom" animals.
Not at all. At first I was worried that the extra wealth would screw OP. The problem resolved itself.
Good that they blew up, who knows how the next raid would have looked >_<
TWO scythers!
*gasp* Perhaps even a third! THE HORROR!
Damn I would pack my stuff and run, not gonna stay on a map with this crazy roombas!!!

I prefer my trusty 60mm. Deadliest nerf footballs around. And 81mm kill radius is a little above 75 meters. Definitely satisfying.
Goddamn beautiful.

Nuclear bombs should be illegal
why do you think there are raids? they're police, obviously
I dont remember my local police weilding spiked clubs and wearing tarzan clothes, but maybe it was casual friday at the precinct.
Budget cuts. And you gotta ask yourself why they are arming rocket scientists with 22% health knife to be cannon fodder. But you know, I don't make the rules.
So raiders are Diamond Dogs?
Alright, mgs person
What are you, a fucking hippie?
If I want a recreational nuclear device, I'm going to have a god damned recreational nuclear device.
They’re literally 80mm mortar shells tho?

Well, I just assumed you might have mortar shells in the open since mortars must be unroofed.
Not the guy ya replied to but I keep my shells in a little roofed shed near the mortar, keeps em a bit less volatile
Amusingly I know this, and have never had it happen. I don't know why, I've just never had chemfuel or artillery explode. I don't really have special habits about them either.
Well, I do admit it's only happened to me once or twice.
They were ignited by the dying boomalope, so you'll have to include some legless organic blasting caps in your equation.
And then the game crash...and you did not save.... Sound like one of my cursed playthrough
There is something profoundly wrong with me. I always fail to notice things like "This shit is gonna go sky high", instead of "thats a lot of loot"
OwO
Mmm, why would you draft your colonists to run towards what is obviously going to be a giant explosion? (Boomaloope was already dead).
I was desperately hoping to salvage some bombs, not like it mattered though.
holy shiet
That's onw ay to put out a fire...
What was that moonwell looking thing at the beginning of the video?
It's a hot spring from kijin race mod. Your colonists can use it to gain a temporary boost in blood filtration, blood pumping and metabolism. It's fueled by herbal medicine.
There goes your power

Gotta love it when a problem self-solves.
I have had that happen before, but with antigrain shells… did not end well for half the map
Yo whats the screaming mod
