So has anyone done caravans or travelled to other settlements for funzies?
I've been busy not getting raped by... everything....but I just managed to get underground drilling going before my game went to shit. I kept thinking I'd need to be trading with other settlements to relieve some of the pressure.

Yeah i've lost a ton of folks to infestations now but you cant really avoid mining since steel is so scarce and deep mining takes a while even if you rush for it.
Anyways, i think i've stabilized my newest permadeath game where i can reliable fend off just about every attack and my best dudes are in power armor and miniguns... do I chance a caravan or just research the starship?

My first world died. I only had 5 people, the prisoner I tried to make into a one of my team backed out and attacked my guys in the middle of a raid from some other random tribe that he wasn't a part of (bullshit). This led to one of my guys dying outright.
Then my battery randomly exploded killing another of my guys fire spread really fast and burned down my stockroom/freezer.... leading to starvation that I was unable to recover from.
Learned a lot though so time for round two! Is there a source for steel or is it just random drops from mining?

You can smelt the slag once you've got machining researched. Then much later you can mine it en masse via deep mining nodes.
It takes a LOT of steel to get there tho and the best mid-game way to do it is trading. I think my next game I'll seat the colony super close to a friendly settlement and just trade furs/apparel for steel since mining/smelting prolly comes out behind when you factor in time etc.

Yeah, if you don't at LEAST have EMP grenades you're dead. Mortars are best though.

10 or so IED traps around a crashed poison/psychic ship usually do the trick (surround with traps then trigger the mechs), definitely worth rushing research on those as it is by far the safest strategy for dealing with them.
On my last map I purposefully selected only psychically deaf colonists and left the psychic ship in place. Gives -50 mood to all raiders and traders, free loot from their infighting
