Being female is as pointless as being male in most games these days.
At least with pregnancy, having a gender at all actually has a sense of agency.
And it's very conducive to gripping stories when a baby dies to miscarriage, because the mother got shot.
Or who knows, even get's birthed because of a battle wound.  Think Conan.. and actually call that baby Conan. 

Isn't stories what Rimworld is all about?

The Wild West wouldn't be complete without it.

There needs to be something between Medieval and Industrial, and that's Steam. 
It plays right into the whole Sci-Fi Wild West theme. Think Firefly, right?  

Building a railroad, connecting one settlement to the next. Pawns ride home on built track via Seesaw.  Building Railstations to act as Waypoints.

Starting out with a rail-seesaw and mine cart for short-range mining operations, carrying ores from the deep drill back to base, and evolving that to a Steam Locomotive for long-hauls and protecting that from bandits.

Railroads are static enough to be easily implemented, without much need for animations or complicated code. Have a train sprite slide across rail sprites, puffing translucent smoke sprites. It's great!
