Thoughts on making endgame better

[G34R B0X]

For me,  the most fun in Rimworld is that first 4 months. That period of time where, your struggling and you are not sure if you are goning to make it or all die. Right now I feel bored at the end game , once my defenses are set up and my colony is self sufficient enough to never starve I lose interest and start over. Now I don't want to sound ungrateful I love this game! So I'm looking for ideas to make the game more enjoyable towards the end other than making a complex turret defense game.

What makes a new city? Industry, comers , economics . What if ince you get on your feet you could set up trade posts, or taverns. It would give trackers a new purpose, buy your goods ( which would be set in a specific stockpile for selling) and open up the option for new crafting, Brewing alcohol, building weapons, tailoring clothes for trade.  An end game building could be a space port , bring loads more travelers to buy your wares. Turing your colony into an actual city. Of sorts.

Also it would add a new type of raider. The bandit, who is more focused on your stockpiles and not just killing your people, he carries a sack and loads up on stuff, early game he steals your food more than wares, causeing you to defend from him so you don't starve.

These are my thoughts, it's late  so have a good nigjt

The bandit idea is really cool! I'd say bandits should show up without a notification/warning, unless they happen to be not particularly sneaky ones.
