A collection of things

[Sola]

-Combine herbal medicine into medicine, and medicine into glitterworld medicine
With proper techs and a chemistry lab, perhaps the player should be allowed to generate higher tiers of medicine?  On the subject of chemistry...

-Digging for underground materials?  Oil and such could have a multitude of uses.  Oil refinement can make pre-antimatter rocket fuel, advanced kinetic (non-laser) weapons, or improve accuracy of old weapons (such as mortars).  And that's just oil.  Who knows what else is underground?

-Ability to move incapacitated patients
I lost someone to heatstroke, because they were unable to move, and I was unable to move them into a cooler room.  If I can rescue them from the field, I should be able to rescue them from a medical bed.

-Combat selection "Lethal/nonlethal"
You can attempt to shoot someone in the legs, or punch/bludgeon someone NOT in the eyes.  Damage and accuracy down, but chance to kill also goes down. The "nonlethal" setting would allow you to try and subdue berserk colonists at a lower risk of death.

-Ability to mine larger areas at once.  click-L-click-L-click-L-click-L-click-L.  Maybe include a mining or zoning function that allows you to mine an area without needing to click every single block?

You can mine large areas by clicking and dragging if you use the mine command in the orders tab instead of the one that appears when clicking on a bit of stone


Edit: Oooh and relocating patients would be real nice

You can relocate people. It's just unintuitive.

Make the bed that they're in a prisoner bed. This causes them to fall out of bed.

Make a hospital bed somewhere else.

Rescue them.

yeah but that's kinda 'hacky' way of doing it =P a proper option for it would be welcome
