have you ever wondered why everyone in your colony is working in an organized way and they know everything that exists in the map?
my idea is:
-A playable starting character, and everything he knows is everything the player knows. all information is transmitted orally or with radio (or a device like that)
-The protag gives orders directly to the others (orally, through radio or with sticky notes), this includes work priorities, restrictions, assignations, caravans, recruitments... but they can also do work himself
-Messenger work type, to transmit information even in tribal scenarios
-Colonists are unwilling to do some things such as overworking without justification (like treating nearly dead pawns) or hurting mentally sane non-rivals
-Cameras that you can access at any time, but some pawns can feel bad when there are cameras in their rooms because you are invading their privacy
-(random idea) Recruited prisioners can have loyalty problems, this means they are capable of escaping to their original faction with some items or even tell his comrades where are turrets and traps. This is less possible if they are happy, have loyal family members, come from a pirate band or they don't get along with the people from their original faction. this is also affected by traits like "psycopath".
-(not too good idea) When two pawns hate each other a lot (-80), homicide can happen. When it happens, some pawns may want justice. Someone with Intellectual skills can investigate to see who is the culprit. the culprit will be arrested or, if the crime was too bad, execution. this is justified since pawns capable of killing can kill again
-obviously this would be a huge extension to "real fog of war" or a standalone with the same concept https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=34724.0 but field of view should be almost unlimited IMO
Why?
because realism, difficulty and drama
i don't have enough time to learn programming and do it myself though
