I don’t know if this counts but I had a Wanderer joins event happen and a colonist join.

We were nearly out of food and they came in, ate all of our food, then turned into a monster and tried to kill my other 3 colonists.

I freaked out because I had no idea what happened, turns out one of my mods adds a chance for Wanderer events to be mimic-like creatures that eat your food then try to eat your colonist.

Every Wanderer I get is quarantined without food in the prison for 3 days now.

You can just look at the hunger rate in their info tab. If it's much higher than 1 or whatever a modded race is supposed to have, and they don't have any traits that affect it, then it's a mimic.

Good to know! The first time I didn’t know that event existed and was only half paying attention until I got an alert that I was being attacked and noticed I was missing a colonist. It legitimately caught me off guard.

It really sucked because they were the only one of my colonists good at research (the researcher I started with died of an infection)

That actually sounds pretty cool

It's one of the events added by Alpha Animals.

My only grief with the mod is that it adds so many goddamn giant insects that it can be hard to find edible meat, even in a temperate forest.

Pretty sure you can turn some of them off in the mod options. Including the black hive bugs.

Oh, you can. Just sucks that if you don't, edible creatures seem to end up massively outnumbered by assorted (vastly creative) insects.

Ah, yes. That first mimic is always a shock.

Some dude was running away from pirates. I accepted him, looked at his stats and kicked him while he was still at the edge of the map. Few days later pirates arrived and brought me recruits of higher quality.

Technically, the quickest i ever lost a colonist was about 1 second, two different times... but I don't know if I'd count them. Once I just happened to recruit a prisoner like, the instant they died of malaria. Another time I started a game and someone spawned in lava.

Clone gets born. Clone goes and hauls chemfuel. Clone gets hit by meteor. Survives. Chemfuel goes off. Clone dies. Immediately picked up by same person (also a clone) and is butchered and put into making another clone.

That's so many traits... I'd have given up too

I had a mech cluster what I didn't want to touch since I didn't have the power to deal with it, a couple days later I get a mission to look after some royalty pawn and he brought a guard with him, has soon has he landed I gave him a triple rocket laucher and sent him to fight the mechs, he was a brave soul who totally missed the shot and blew his own head off and then I lost 2 colonist due to the fight against the mechs

I had a wanderer joins event. The guy literally died 4~ seconds into the map because I was instantly raided by a horde of insects and they kinda spawned on top of him. The poor guy didn't make it to the colony walls.

I also had a rat (or some other small critter) getting self tamed and literally getting oneshotted by a hungry predator that was on the same exact tile as the critter was. I just unpaused the game after self-tamed event and he was gone just like that

Probably this chased refugee. He's about 5 tiles in from the left edge.

God a colonist from a quest. Raid (not from quest) landed on top of her, triple rocket and doomsday went off and killed everyone.

Had a wanderer join being chased in. During the raid that chased them not a few hours later they were shot and killed. And that was the story of Mags.
