You know what annoys me - deaf people develop strong senses in other areas. Braille, very good hearing raise to levels higher than normal. People handicapped in some way often go an extra mile to make up for it with something else. In Rimworld: nothing. They're just strictly worse, and hopeless.

That would be an interesting addition to the game.  We already have some sort of "psychic" stuff going on.  What if the more crippled pawns get, the more psychic abilities they gain?  So the guy with the smashed pelvis and missing eye gets tuned into the global noosphere and starts chanting prophesies about the secret stash of charge rifles...
If you give an annoying colonist a parka before banishing him to the ice sheet you'll only get a -3 penalty instead of -5.

And don't forget that the pirates chasing a refugee are often better recruits than the refugee is.
