[Prisoner relationships-]

Hello,

I feel that in the current state of the game there is little interaction between prisoners and their captors, or even between other prisoners. I'm proposing a few changes and additions that could improve interaction amongst  these two groups, and hopefully flesh out characters as well as their thoughts.

Prisoner relationships-

While I don't want to bring Rimworld too close to another game that it currently has strong ties with, I do want to use some of the same concepts to create interesting relationships between prisoners. Prisoners who don't have separate cells or quarters should socialize amongst each other. This could either incite conflict, or spark rebellion as their thoughts for escape collaborate. Prisoners who are hostile to one another could end up in fist fights, perhaps killing each other if the situation is not taken control of. There are perhaps quite a few ways that they could work together towards liberating themselves of their captors, but I would like to hear your thoughts on this.

More to come

Every time that a trade ship comes around, our colonist survivors have the opportunity to escape the dangerous planet that they have been stranded on and return to their past lives and families. Obviously a crashed civilian ship would create some buzz, and the company responsible for the ship would be interested in salvaging the remains to find out what caused it's failure. I'm confused as to why the colonists don't take the opportunity to hop aboard the next vessel that comes along, and insist on staying stranded on a hostile alien world.
