Another way to end the game

Maybe another way to end the game could be an outlander town's representative inviting your colonists to join them in that town. I find it somewhat funny how visitors won't lend any help in times of need. I would think that at least the friendlier factions would send a shipment of food or send people to help with the colony when you really needed it. They could at least offer to rescue people and salvage the base if things got extremely bad and couldn't be fixed. This is just a thought I had, and feel free to discuss it.

That's definitely a good idea, the faction system seriously lacks features and could be so much more - but it's still an Alpha and the new update brought faction traders, so I'm really looking forward to all the features yet to come!

If your rep with a colony is high enough you can call them and request aid, and they will send soldiers to help defend you from a raid/seige, and occasionally they will do so on their own without you needing to call them for help.
