How is this different from every other game?

There is a mod for that:

Would be very nice in vanilla though

You can make several colonies. There is an option for the number in the settings.
Just hit the "settle" button. However, unless you abandon the colony and make it permanently inaccessible you still get events for that colony even if nobody is there


You might want this mod to set up temporary camps:

Mhh, might have been EPOE

You're not even playing for story here. You're min/max-ing and then trying to contrive a story to justify it

I used to be able to do that I think. I remember eyeballs being very profitable

Having more social interactions (and ones that use the social skill) would fit perfectly with it being so heavily advertised as a "story generator" though. Things like a pawn being able to break up a fight. Or helping other people with their mental issues.

A lot of things in this game are wealth traps. In fact it can be argued that a key aspect in a player's improvement is when they realize that you shouldn't aim for colony growth insomuch as maximizing your utility / wealth ratio.

Nope. Only a certain type of people play that way. It's not normal though

it should just say "unfertilized egg" and not "Unfertilized chicken egg."

But there is no generic egg type in the game so it uses one of the existing eggs instead of adding a new one

Go to stupid lengths to reduce wealth to make the game easier. Maybe the wealth/raid system is broken, but I won't do silly things to game it

I just noticed a panther killed by a tortoise

Earlier I had another panther downed by a cassowary, which allowed me to finish it off

I wished it'd be a little more complicated though. That the trees give cocoa beans and you need to at least cook them before getting chocolate.

In reality it's quite a bit more complicated and you need to ferment the beans first. The game could actually handle that with the fermenting barrels, but it doesn't have to be that complicated. Just better than literally harvesting chocolate

in the tundra it's a different situation, you have very limited options for food and having toxic fallout is basically a death sentence if you have no hydroponics.

A greenhouse works very well as long you have soil

You can enable huge map sizes in the options

The highest difficulty setting "merciless mode" has also been hidden behind a button

What you want is this:
