Hmm, so perhaps the save game could have a list of mods that was active when the save was made. That way, when loading, it knows what mods it's expecting and if any of them are not present (or inactive), it can throw an exception.

Modders could be required to have a mod ID or something present in their mods to differentiate between versions. Or perhaps just the mod name is enough?

Alpha 3 has a Make Until X option now, though, so you shouldn't have a need for warehouses of food now.

I also think the game should show the dimensions of the plan tool. I mocked up how it could look in Photoshop:

Would make it much easier to layout a nice, symmetrical base 

Yes, so much yes!

Yes I would like a muffalo burger please.

Say hello to my little friend. This is my boomstick.

etc.

IIRC, you can now scroll through your colonists with the , and . keys. But yes, some sort of hotkey for specific colonies can be good, too.

How about my suggestion here?

Remember Clarke's Third Law. Rather than pray to gods, we can perhaps make some sort of weather station that could induce storms to dissuade raiders, with a side effect of wilting produce.

Maybe icons, so a trader ship could have a ship icon, tribal factions...maybe a spear icon, and pirate factions can have a skull-and-bones icon.

I picked the Favor system. Elaborated in an older post of mine here.

I could have sworn that this was in consideration some time ago. To have turrets treat animals as hostile. Or perhaps just hostile animals. Or maybe respond to Hunt, as in fire on animals tagged as being Hunted.
