You have to apply the "recruit" part or whatever it'south called. Equally long as they take a weapon equipped they'll fight hostile targets like mad animals.

You can also gear up the private reactions of colonists to being attacked, the default is to run away. I personally don't bother with that, I just recruit anyone nearby with a weapon, kill the beast then unrecruit then they tin can get dorsum to piece of work.

Equally presently as you get the alert, pause the game and tag the mad fauna or animals to exist hunted.
And so it but depends on what type of animal it is and how many of them at that place are.
If they are relatively harmless and single, you could do as the others above accept suggested and send 1 hunter out to hunt it downward.
If, even so, they are relatively dangerous beasts, restrict all of your colonists to expanse 1, which would be an surface area yous should already have ready up, like all the interior of your base of operations or your common room. In whatsoever example simply go on everyone indoors. And then just permit your turrets to practice their chore. When the beasts come up within range of the turrets, they'll exist killed and your colonists can be unrestricted once more. Or if your turrets cannot impale them off due to too many of the critters and so you can cull to ride information technology out and expect for them to wander off, which they'll do inside a day.

If yous click on your colonist you lot tin can select their reaction to a mad or attacking animal/person. past default it is set to run. I select my guys with ranged weapons to attack. You do take to watch out though equally they will even so continue to shoot when the animal is close plenty to bite off the colonists leg.

Depending on the blazon of mad animal you may just need to run and hide. I had a group of mad boomalopes attack the only thing I could practise was hide within and get a good shooter almost a door to shoot them when they moved abroad. be careful though if they realise where you lot are shooting from they will attack the door.

Set it as to be hunted, prioritise a colonist to hunt it. Sometimes it is best to run and hide.

Your people run away because the default combat behavior is set to flee, they volition merely stand their ground when drafted. Click the icon on a colonists info console that looks like a stick man running, and it'll bike through combat behaviours.

If they are running then you probably don't take them fix to fight when they see hostiles.
To exercise this click on a colonist and tap on the running person icon well-nigh the "i" icon.
Yous can besides click on your assign tab and change it with all colonists.
