I tried this mod in a new game. and the first thing that happened is I got raided by a guy with a gun just a few days into the game, who obviously destroyed me.

I always play with the same settings: starting with 1 colonist, no tech, no items. This scenario always leads to a lot of raids from bow-weilding or other tribal/melee raiders in the beginning. Raiders with guns dont come until way later.

But with this mod, only a few in-games days into a new game I had a raider from this mod (his capsule thing made him land right next to my base, so I also had no way of preparing) and he had a hunting rifle. This is before I had time to even make myself a club.

In settings, I only see one option that seems relevent to the "raid points" a raid would get, and that's the first one: "RimWar difficulty uses game difficulty". I have this checked, because that seems like what I'm looking for. However clearly, RimWar is stillusing a difficulty much higher than the game difficulty.
