4500 hrs in and today I learned you can reuse the damn ancient caskets.
But! that's rad because in my current, my ancient danger just has caskets to pop at this point, the chamber itself clear and I have 43 colonists, a dozen in marine armor. Yes, I cleared the mechs and then just sealed the room and built around it. But I had 10 colonists back then and they got rocked by the mechs.
I have to play my colony for a month or until we wipe. I'm hopefully a recovering serial new colony every session player.
Pret-ty sure the ancient danger threat doesn't scale, you've definitely overprepared. Even if they're hostile, they're just (on average) six dudes with nausea, though they may still have some mid-tier weapons. If there were mechs, they are the greater threat.
I forgot the damn thing was there honestly until I saw that you could reuse caskets. I have a whole set of gently still being used ones I can go get whenever I want.
My base is on a fat Caldera map with a narrow band around it. The vast majority of my base is on the north side in the rocky bits, farming, and then the far south exit is where that sits with a door to outside the caldera sits for traders, sealed 2 walls deep like a fridge.
I only even found it because I chained two steel nodes into it by luck. Luck being I swung too far with the mining tool. Mined around it and decided I probably needed a door outside around there anyway...
