Your colonists shall starve no more! (unless you're traveling on an ice sheet ofc)

Even then you can always stop and kill off a colonist or two when you run low on food...  ::)

(Yeah, Rimworld, it takes you to new depths of depravity when your colonies survival is on the line.  :P )

Or slaughter some pack (or trade) animals, assuming they are worth less than that useless pop star pacifist who can't do any task but artwork anyway..

What's the difference between a camp and a colony that you abandon later? Do events not happen?

I'm playing a nomadic colony that's always on the move, and I was just planning on settling colonies and abandoning them as "camps".

The idea of this mod is to lay a camp whenever you want/need by using similar mechanics to the ones when you get attacked mid-travel, meaning that this camp will disappear from the map as soon as you leave it and will not stay on the map unlike what happens when you abandon a colony.

If you really want to be a nomad try this mod, put down a camp every once in a while and then leave taking everything with you. If you want to leave a camp behind to revisit at a later point you may want to keep creating colonies and abandoning them.
Do you want your colonists to look manlier?

Whats the difference between the camp and "settle" ?

Any chance we can chose the map size from the camp?

"Settle" sounds like you are going to make a new colony, while "camp" has a more temporary meaning. Should be self explanatory from now on :D

Thanks for explaining it well!  ;D
Also, the camps are much smaller than colonies: they are faster to generate and aren't so heavy on the CPU.

I don't think you can re-enter abandoned settlements actually. I was unable to even enter the tile on the world map last time I tried.

wait a second,do events happen in this mini-map? like raids and flashstorms? because if not my dreams are ruined hah :0

Since the camp deletes itself, couldn't you just use this to infinitely farm adjacent tiles for as much material as they can carry?

Should be in base game, thanks.
