This video shows the colony in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Z0iMi4pCKs as well as combat.

I’m using Royalty and Biotech DLC.

I ended with 37 colonists, all genetically engineered, highly bionically modified and geared in cataphract with charge rifles.

Love the game. I ended up using Boomalopes as my primary energy source, supplemented with Geothermal and Mechanoid artifacts.

I have my colonists all specialized in one skill that’s prefixed in their name. Statues are my big money-maker, but it still takes a huge crafting, mining and discovery effort to maintain excellent Cataphract armor.

I’m proud of my base, but I tried to avoid reading much about the game or seeing others bases, so I don’t really know how strategically effective it is!
