Lol I was just memein' I like your graveyard.

I wasn't aware of that mod... thanks - that looks super helpful! Will definitely be adding it to my list.

Missing Mass Graves...

Thanks for the tips. I will be keeping standalone bedrooms, mainly because I like how it looks haha, but the stuff about my defences is appreciated :) So far I've not had any trouble with holding back raiders, but they are definitely starting to ramp up in numbers and frequency. Just had some sapper raiders open up my ancient wonder and release a bunch of mechs on me... wasn't ready for that but managed to survive without casualties lol

Even though they have a -4 mood penalty, trust me it's worth it. Barracks because they save a TON of space, and colonists won't even care about sleeping in them if they look impressive enough. Also, make sure to put walls near your sandbags so your colonists can use them as cover. And if you can, make sure to get a hold of a lot of Assault Rifles and Sniper Rifles, as they are some of the most useful weapons in the game. I hope this will be helpful to you, and best of luck for your future colony!

This base does look great, but there are a few things that will improve it. First of all, the defense at the top left does not look like it will end well with a raid because of friendly fire. I suggest just completely walling that place off, as it's a really bad defense area and there's not much to be done about it. Plus, if a raider throws a grenade at the prison, the prisoners will very likely escape, so put it closer to the center of the colony. Next in the bottom left, raiders could there's no sandbags preventing raiders to invade if they were to attack south of the geothermal generator. Lastly, just some general tips: use a nutrients paste dispenser instead of stoves and barracks instead of individual bedrooms. Nutrient paste meals will never give colonists food poisoning, cook instantly, and use less power than stoves.
