First of all I'd like to say I LOVE the game :) I'd like to suggest adding a "Do Not Enter" zone type that will prevent colonists from entering that area. Primarily I'd like it to prevent colonists from wandering outside the confines of my base during raids or wandering in front of gunfire. However it could also be used to prevent colonists from walking over objects that slow movement. You can of course use doors and walls to restrict movement, but it would be nice to create a zone on the fly. Also, I'd like to suggest the enemy AI be upgraded to break down walls if it's the only thing between them and the colonists along the shortest path. I set up a kill box entrance to my base, then have several small tunnels for the colonists to use. During a raid I wall off the entrances to the tunnels and the enemy considers it not passable and takes the kill box route since it is the only open path to my base. The enemy could easily knock out the 1x1 wood wall in the tunnel.

There should be a few types of thing for all purposes +1.

The main thing I would want during a raid is a type of button simple and sweet that can be toggled, and creates this type of field completely around my home region, this would keep any of my annoying colonists from going hunting right into a pack of 20-40 tribesmen raiders.

If there was a region type, for this it would be nice to be able to place them in front of say turret, or even sandbags. I've had 3 villages die instantly (reloaded a auto save after this) that pathed instead around the defends while they were farming and hauling, they decided to walk in front of my 4 mini gun wielding defenders... It would be really nice to make a way they wouldn't do that, and be like a normal person and go around a gun fight, not through it.

I think I have killed more of my own colonists with minigun friendly fire than raiders. Wandering into raiding parties or friendly fire while doing chores is a big issue for me, too. I like the auto toggle idea. But I'll settle for any kind of warding zone.

Same also if you have time, you could post this on the mod section as well, if it doesn't get added, maybe a person that has the same issue and wants a way to fix that issue could possible make this.
