I think there should be a huge morale boost after obvious victory.
I hate it when I winning pretty hard battle with almost no casualties and after that some of my men deserting due to low morale and things like "witnessing a death" or "observed a corpse". They win and they are sad. What a nonsence. They actually should be extatic, all pumped up with adrenaline and happy to stay alive. Things like ugly environment, shared room or food related issues should be totally outweighed by the fact of victory at least for a day or so.
Another story is technical victory but with a lot of casualties. There I can understand some drop of morale. But still delayed for some time due to "happy to stay alive" factor.

Siege event is OP or am i doing something wrong?..

I am new in RimWorld. Now playing my third game. And looks like third time i will be annihilated by pirate's siege. I'm not saying that they unbeatable, nor i fear the challenge, but it seems alot like lottery where random decides everything. If siege event happens early on then i have no mortars and forced to deal with them in close combat, which is troublesome because they always outnumber my troops 2 to 1 and has better weapon. If i am ready and have mortars for every colonist, then i can bombard pirate's base relatively sucessful but still, couple of good shots from them can cripple me, and i can easily miss every single shot. Best case scenario is when i get lucky with my mortars and can clear some parts of their base quickly, then finish with my troops. But I still take alot of damage and next pirate raid, which can happen very soon after the siege, will probably finish me.

To the developer(s): i would like to have more control in this situation and a chance to actually survive the event if i catch it early in game. For example some defensive anti-mortar turrets or shield dome generators.

To everybody else: any suggestions about how to better prepare and survive the siege?

Pity  

I like smoothed wall tiles in my own tileset, and I really annoyed by original detailed wall/floor tiles. It looks kinda messy and chaotic to me. Is there any way to change their appearance to yellow smoothed wall tiles and red smoothed floor tiles?

Maybe there is a way to create floors for selected zone (as it is in designation menu) and not one by one tile?
Now I make it thru b>c>f menu and then pick a material. And if material placed on 2-3 page it bring a LOTS of scrolling and button pushing which is very annoying.

Grebo, I think bin will be dumped with all items inside.
Hague, so I need to dump needed items and then reclaim? Seems like solution.

Some of my stockpiles contain several items stored in bins. But now I want them to lie openly on the floor. How can I do this (unload bins I mean)?

Kagus, Proteus, yes, it really was Wooden Weapon Rack  
But what about wooden (oaken, birchen, highwood) swords and spears? I got some of them in stockpile.

GRead, тhis is great idea! Thanks.
