Though I'm not sure if the art-style of the creatures from Don't Starve fits to Rimworld, it's still a nice idea if fleshed-out enough!

It actually fits extremely well in game! The animals give Rimworld that alien world i crave.

liberal brainwashing

Just want to point out that this is why this topic will never be a good "discussion". Normally i would have never have even commented on this thread, and I don't care about gender politics. I understand SJW are annoying, but Idiocy transcends political ideology. People on both sides cannot talk about gender without it becoming political.

That's why i would never support it in game. If people cannot discuss it without it turning into a flamewar, then why would it be a good idea to implement into a game you're trying to sell?

Also, I dont know about you, but a lot of people (myself included) play on harsh environment like sea ice, tundra, desert, extreme desert; in those biome caring about water too will be just so tedious.

You say tedious, but the Inuit basically live off fishing, and Irrigation is fundamental in desert cultures.The ability to turn desert into arable land would bring a whole new dimension to desert maps.

I don't really think drinking water should be added, but we mine mountains.. why not use water?

I know that these have been suggested before, so I'd like to throw a +1 behind them.

Mostly military ideas

Barbed Wire.
Embrasures(or bunkers i guess), similar to alot of mods, with the exception that you cannot pass through them.
Trenches/ditches.
Trou De Loups
Abatis

While I agree that water as another survival mechanism is a little much, I'm disappointed that water is really nothing more then a barrier. I know that Fish industries mod, but it seems like it would be common sense to utilize water as a potential resource in the vanilla game. Fishing, Irrigation, Transport, Leisure.. There's just so much potential for water resources in the game.
