Can UI changes be considered as somewhat fast to accomplish? Like changing growzones and bills from drop down lists to scrollbar list with checkboxes, that doesn't scale down font size? If not, i ll delete this post. Dubbed it in suggestions thread.

Can we get a growing zone feature to be placed on the sand tiles, so we can grow cactuses for the greater good! Also would be nice if cactus could possibly deal some damage to person who stands on cactus tile.

You can grow cactuses on normal soil / zones already.

Not in a desert you can't.

Well, you can, but those tiles are far too precious for cacti.

Put refueling and rearming traps into Basic, they are usually more important than your average haul job

He meant on SAND, not soil

New dialogue option for visiting traders. Next to trade, the player can send them away, if there is any need for this, like a raid/hazard/predator.
As ordered the caravan will leave the map immediately in the advised direction.

Could look llike this:

-Trade with .. from ..
-Ask to leave N
-Ask to leave S
-Ask to leave W
-Ask to leave E

Make large sprites (muff, bears, centipedes) appear on a lower layer than the things around them, so you can see your stockpiles clearer

A setting that makes the game speed up to 4x when all colonists are sleeping or downed.

So the player has to spend less time twiddling and staring at floating Zs.

As soon as a pawn wakes up or something important happens (red or yellow letter) the game snaps back to the speed the player had it set at.

Being able to create and select colonist groups would be a huge QoL improvement. This way you can select your militia quickly and don't have to filter out those nasty pacifists every time a raider comes by.

This https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=704181221 already implements it, but sadly it needs a fresh game and adds other stuff to the vanilla game that's not really related. And it currently does not work with 1.0

Don't know if it has been suggested: Commando raid. spend all available raid points on one person.

Can you make solar panels rotatable, please?

Buried conduit -- more work to make, more hitpoints. Kinda sucks setting up defense turrets that are rendered useless in a minute due to a lucky "miss" that hits my conduit.

The "no batteries" message shouldn't show up until you've researched batteries.

EDIT:
Hmm...maybe the message should change to "research batteries" instead...

Add "Also known as Xeregium," and "Also known as Megatherium," or similar to healroot and megasloth.
Since i liked those names for them. And was confused as to where Xeregium went when it changed, leaving me to believe it was removed from the game a while before i found it again.

While healroot is a much better name for beginners, i think the real name should be in for the old timers.
