Sorry if this has been suggested before, but if your colony gets wiped out it would be amazing if you could start again and choose the same location. What I was thinking is a new group of people stumble across this bloody empty somewhat scary colony and decide to start there. The game won't let you choose the same place twice for some reason.

Also maybe some time could of passed and much of the equipment decayed away but the walls are still somewhat in tact.

When I did a search someone suggested you can move your colonist around to other parts of the world or split colonists away and found a new one. It would be really cool to move around multiple colonies or something like this.

Dwarf Fortress lets you reoccupy an old fortress.  Id love to be able to do that in Rimworld.  Id be a lot less cautious.  Things end up burnt down, cave-ins, things looted.

I see a few problems implementing this however.  Unlike DF we dont have the ability to prepare our colonists.  Less resources on the map if one colony already dug it all up.  No outright hostile animals to take the base from.  They would either be raiders that you might not be able to handle or mechanoids. 

So I like the idea, but Tynan should finish the gameplay development for a single first attempt first before worrying bout this extra stuff.  If a mod does this, combine with prepare carefully mod and you should be good.

This would be quite awesome...

When you arrive; all the corpse of your party and the enemy should be every where...walls should be in-despair besides those that were damaged; remaining turret system, if still powered should attack you..and there would be a fog of war you couldn't see through still you started exploring the base again..so no idea if there are raiders...or creatures...lurking inside the buildings...
