MotherLands

[haad34]

Since this game is based around colonies i thought it would be cool to add the motherlands, So when you are starting a colony you can have a choice of which motherland you want your colony to come from, and each different motherland will have different perks. One may be better at farming, while another would be better at military. You should also have to maintain your relation with your motherland by trade and communication. Which can be beneficial for the colony. The motherland can send more colonist and soldiers to help out the colony. But the motherland can also screw you over by forcing you to give them items and pay taxes. If you feel the need to break from the motherland you can start a revolution, this can be dangerous though. If you had a bad relationship with them, the motherland can send soldiers to enforce themselves on you. They will try to destroy the colony or just put you back in your place. If you had a good relationship they will try to keep trade open and you are free to close the trade or continue to trade.

Definitely a possibility if multiple starting options are added, perhaps there could be start where you have 2-3 people with some resources and shanks as well as a partially working ship called something like "Miners" where the back story is you're a bunch of ghetto miners from [RNG name for some colony] who set off to find a Rimworld to exploit for riches.

Yeah something like that would defiantly work

OMG. Just had the best choice ever. You can steal take inspiration from Prison Architect's social system, and make it to where similar nationalities agree with each other, and others are more likely to disagree.

i wouldn't like this at all...when you crash land, you're not a satellite colony of another nation, you're a trio of random people trying to just live.

Well they could add different modes, where one mode is a the crash landing like it is now and the other is a colony sent from another planet.
