Something I've been thinking about recently is how much more it would add to the game if your were able to have your colonists sneak around a bit. How you could turn a raid on it's head by sneaking a good colonist behind the enemy and using a charge rifle to full effect. Hunting would be affected too, when an animal decides it wants to fight back it might not see the hunter. It would be enraged and would likely try to attack a different colonist. However this would stop a lone colonist from have no chance at all from being able to defend themselves whilst they're out there alone. Of course this being Rimworld you can't have everything work 100% of the time. I have two routes that I think that would be effective in balancing this.
The first route is for the cloaking device to be used in the same way as personal shield. You equip it to a colonist (In the same slot as a personal shield, you can't have the best of both worlds) and they activate it automatically whilst hunting. You would have to activate the device manually during combat though. The duration of the cloak would be determined by the quality of the device and it's state of deterioration. Shooting will also decrease the time you are cloaked also.

The second route would be to equip it in the same way as a personal shield however it would be a passive effect. The limiting factor would come from the cloak not being 100% Effective. The chances of being detected would have to depend on several factors: Cloak quality, Deterioration, Distance and Enemy's eyesight. If there are more enemies then you are more likely to be seen.

Another limiting factor to these devices would be the fact that raiders could come equipped with them also. What new and "Exciting" ways would there be for the enemy to kill you? Whilst they're charging your lines a few seconds of not being seen could be vital. Whilst attacking an enemy's siege site it would be vital to know exactly what you're up against and a sudden well equipped/well trained enemy could make all the difference.

I'd like to be able to have a Rimworld Background on my phone and laptop and have done so for my laptop. Unfortunately though it looks like a heap of muffalo dung. So, would it be possible for you to make some professionally done backgrounds and make it possible to download them? I wouldn't mind paying a couple of extra pounds for them either. (Which gets me to thinking about Rimworld merchandise and now I want a muffalo plushie, Rimworld shirt and my very own bezerk cannabilistic tribe chief.)

Sorry guys, this is actually in the frequently made requests list thingy.

I might consider a yorkie skin farm.

I miss those simpler times, where you could place remote explosives in a tight space to blow all your troubles away. Truly a beautiful thing to behold.

Ah, it was a nice thought I got 12 from it

What's the amount of skin you need to make a hat? o.O

My advice is to watch a guy called Blitzkriegsler on Youtube. He does a new series each time an Alpha is released and you can learn a lot about what you need to do (And shouldn't do!) just by watching him.
Other than that, I would play a few years in a Mountainous Temperate forest biome. You'll want a year-round harvesting period too. Once you've learnt how to play there, I would then move onto more challenging experiences.

Yeeaaah, no I made him mix his dog into a paste with Agave fruit and eat it. It is Rimworld after all 

Ok, so, I'm going to start off with the fact that I seriously don't like small yappy dogs in real life. So, Yorkshire Terriers in Rimworld really annoy me. They're small, annoying and just don't do much other than waste resources. I just started with the tribe load-out. I have enough food to feed it, and all the other animals and my colonists. I decided, however, that I didn't want this annoying little rat of an animal; So I set for it to be slaughtered. Unfortunately the colonist bonded with this creature wakes up early and guess what's first on the day's list? Yup, you guessed it! I think the worst part is that I could have waited for another colonist to wake up. I didn't.

TL;DR I made a colonist kill his own dog, just because I didn't like it.
I might make him eat it too.

Steam keys aren't promised as stated above. Basically Tynan (The Dev) has said a few times he would like to give everyone who buys the game a steam key, however he can't make any promises for legal reasons. We speculated that he thinks he'll be able to do it and just can't say yes or no (Given what he'd implied on a post) and he didn't correct us. So, take from that what you will

Star Trek. Because trek is another would for journey.

I just read your answer and succeeded to register. I didn't know trek means journey.

A trek is usually a long and arduous journey. For example "We trekked up the mountain today." ( I just thought I'd put that in there)

I meant to put a "Not" before guaranteed :')

If you bought the game after a certain date (So, that includes both of us) then it is guaranteed that we'll get steam keys. Tynan has stated that he would like to get everybody who buys the game a steam key, however he cannot promise to for legal reasons. So, it's still just a "Maybe" for now.

I got unreasonably angry when I read your title, not gonna lie. I thought you were talking about Rimworld :')
