I don't use the animals in combat due to the lack of control and the massive debuff due to the death of bonded animals.
A way to improve animals is to be able to have more control over what the animals attack.
   1.)A button to tell animals to stay in a pack, attack as a pack, and have pack mentality.
   2.)Be able to tell the animals to attack targets in an area.
   3.)An easier way to stop the bonding of colonist and animal.

It would be a great idea, but instead of a new map, you could have destroyed cities on the world map that you could explore and find loot. You would have to send a caravan to it to explore. When you would get there you could be attacked by raiders, mad animals, or mechanoids. You could also find another faction there and trade with them.

How about an animal that can boost a caravans speed. Like a horse but can't carry much.
