I've been reading some guides on Steam, and one advised to make a couple of small outposts around Squin and accumulate some resources before building a large base. So I've started with the small one on the screenshot:
I doesn't have a building, just a stone mine, an ore node, then a machine and storage for building materials and metal plates, plus a food barrel. I have 5 guys working there, in their own squad. At first I made just the outline of a small house, but never even started its construction.
A few days after it started working I get a message about bandit demands. I switch to an outpost worker and see nobody. I run there with my main and look around a bit, and notice a group of dudes calling me out from the small rounded dead-end valley to the SE of the outpost. So I go to parley, refuse their protection, they start chasing me, my workers run away to the city, I am trying to kite them to the guards but they won't follow, they all gather inside the outline of the unbuilt house. So I destroy the outline and they leave.
A bit later, new demands message. This time I don't find them at all, not around the outpost nor the small dead-end valley to the SE. So I pay them no mind, I presume that if my dudes get attacked then their icons will flash and I'll save them. Nothing of the sort happens, then I get a message saying "demands end" or something. Good. Then I go check the food store and all the food is gone. And I did set raids to "never". So they just walked in, didn't attack anyone, helped themselves, and none of my guys working 10m away even bothered to report this? Come on.
So, not only do we not get a pause, nor a popup nor a sound cue when one of our guys gets attacked, even though people have been asking for it for years (and we must get one even before they get into combat, just a threat should suffice), but bandits can loot us and we don't get a message? Come on.
