1.0B public build I received notification that bandits had arrived, and it turns out they'd set up camp inside my town, with some tents inside my buildings:
... And I thought it was a bit rough they were setting up a dozen squares outside my town... Yikes...
I had this happen a few times, the good news is that if you are neutral with them they lend a hand when fighting fish people or enemies, the bad new is that anyone not belonging in the colony can also be killed by them. I had a journalist visit my colony to write a story about us and as she was talking to someone when a "friendly" bandit whacked her a few times and killed her, it was quite funny to watch it happen, I thought for sure I would get a pop up informing me that the empire frowns upon this sort of thing but nothing happened someone came by and buried her so now so too is in my ever growing graveyard.
