Alien Abductions.. - sometimes colonists are returned as an alien/human hybrid with special abilities.

Alien Colonists

Ability to travel to other 'Alien' worlds.

Another, non-related idea...

Factions - Able to join another faction and help them build up their settlements

It's even worse when one of the attackers has some kind of relationship with one of your colonists. 

Another good defense against Manhunters is using stone chunks and sandbags to slow them down and use turrets to cut them down.     Like the above poster said, they go after turrets and blow themselves up usually take a couple others with them.

I've never been able to purchase a captured colonist before, but it seems possible.  What would be worse is if he/she decided to join the raiders and you had to kill your former colonist.  I wonder if that ever happens. haha

I still use the same basic tactics ..  Funnel the enemies through a mountain, lots of traps  some sandbags to slow them down. 

On open/flat areas turrets spaced enough apart so if one goes off, they don't blow the rest to pieces, sandbags for colonists and more traps.

Toughest I've found to plan for is sappers.. since you never really know where they are going to choose to come in from... and of course sieges. 

Another thing I sometimes do is set up turrets at different locations around the map, with an enclosed battery and solar panel.   Tends to slow enemies down a bit..

Me - Really It's all about Me....

   I have been playing games for many years now, starting with the old Nintendo Entertainment System back in the late 1980s.  Eventually went onto PC games and never went back to Console gaming.

-What introduced you to RimWorld? Or to this style of game in general?

I first saw Rimworld on Youtube in a Let's Play series... I instantly fell in love with the game once I played it.   Being a fan of both Sci-Fi and management simulation games it was perfect and just kept getting better.

-What's your favorite other game?

My favorite game(s) of all time would have to be three.. Mass Effect Trilogy.  Love the lore, the characters and overall story.

-Most embarrassing gaming-related story?

Well, for anyone who watches my Let's Plays... I tend to be a bit jumpy.. so yeah I'm that guy who jumps when the toast pops out of the toaster...  - so needless to say anytime a zombie, creeper or even bunny rabbit happens to come up behind me.. I freak .. well in the case of Rimworld that would be when RAID suddenly appears on my screen and I realize I am armed with a muffalo chop (okay maybe that isn't possible) but still...

-What kind of breakfast cereal is the best?

Toughest Question of them all ...IF I must narrow it down to one, then Lucky Charms... why? pfft Obviously because their magically delicious.. and really.. who doesn't like magic?
