Planet States/Stories

[Mushroom_Stew]

I'd like to see different planet states (war/civil war, economic collapse, famine, etc). This would add a great deal of immersion even if they don't effect your colony directly (colonies on the map might start to disappear, caravans increase).

Really I'd like to see an update to the planet. Making settlements more concentrated in warmer areas, decreasing/increasing raider frequency and intensity in certain climates, and having every settlement serve a purpose (raw material colony, manufacturing colony, military colonies, etc) so they could earn a living somehow. A few solutions I see to this are shipping goods off world for a large profit or trading with a capitol/mother settlement.

More interactions with the rest of the planet would add a lot. Having a combat region that pops up in times of war where you can help a faction win and get reputation. Or a gold Rush, etc.
