Now that caravans are a thing in A16, and food can be a problem for long trips, it'd be cool if we could click "Explore" (or something to that effect) to generate a local area, similar to when your caravan is attacked.  You could then direct your pawns to hunt or forage in the generated map.  This would be a good way to help meet the caravan's food needs.

I agree and I just found out you can actually have more then one settlement if you increase the number allowed in options its sort of a way to do exactly what your suggestioning assuming you can abandon the place you just "Settled" pretty easily

That's an interesting workaround, and sounds like it'd work.  I still think a simple "Explore" button would be cool, and would prevent you from needing to make a new settlement every time you wanted to hunt or scavenge for food.

Keep in mind though that you can only settle a location once.  you cant reclaim an abandoned tile.
