My iron production is actually keeping up just fine now. The biggest issue I was having was not enough lighting around that whole setup. Production picked up a lot once I lit that whole area. Also, I was cranking about just about every iron-based item at the same time, so production wasn't really keeping up. Now that all my chests/par levels are full, it's a non issue. I think I have enough chests for 500 steel bars and that's what I've been using for money since they stack really well.
I'll take a look at the dustwich stuff. I thought chewsticks were the only food I could make that only required cactus and water, so I was opting to just keep it simple. I did already drop food barrels all over the base, though. Regarding the med crates - My guys don't seem to pick up bandages to make sure they always have one on hand. Is that the way it's supposed to work? They just go grab a bandage if someone goes down and they need it, instead of making sure they always have one ready?
I set up a training room where I put all my new hires in a "War Boys" squad and have them training everything in there up to max before coming out. I need to work on getting everyone outfitted with the best armor and weapons I can make (I think I'm up to 40 people now because I went on a hiring spree last night). Other than that, I think everything else I need to do is locked behind advancing research (or finding a fucking merchant that sells tools, which has been the main reason for all my exploring last night).
