My Next Stupid Question -- Visitors??

[DDog]

What purpose do visitors really serve..   They come and hang out...  Then leave...

Occasionally they get between your colony and attackers.
But not much else as far as I know, other than to help liven the area up...
There may be something planned but not yet implemented...
I would love to be able to trade with them directly.

Also there is a specific event in which a friendly town will send people to your aid during an attack.

Sometimes you get lucky and they'll be there when enemies attack, and bam. You have some more fresh bodies to help against the assault. One of my colonies survived a little longer because visitors ended up flanking the pirates that were brutally mauling my own guys.

On the other hand, sometimes it's less lucky when two groups of visitors arrive at the same time, hate eachother and use your colony as the backdrop for a mid-noon gunfight..

Depending on how you play, you could;

>Arrest/Kidnap them for Slave Trade or Organ Harvesting
>Kill them for their clothes, weapons, items

And in the upcoming version, you can tend to them for some +Faction rep

Rimworld players.. *Nervous laughter* "Oh, visitors. Shall we kill them for their gear, or harvest their organs, or sell them as slaves, or some combination thereof?"

Eating them is also an option.
