Assign colonists to stay in an area.

[henk]

I have two bases fairly far apart, one where I landed and the other where all of the metal mines are. Both bases are self-sustaining, with hydroponics, a cooking station, and beds. Unfortunately, my colonists keep walking between the bases any time there's work to be done in the other base that they can help with. They don't understand that they're assigned to a particular base.

Please give me a way to lay down a zone for a colonist so that it won't take work outside of that zone!

[Dibblah]

Yes please! that would be awesome!

[ehh713]

Yes... this is much needed to keep colonists working when trying to ignore an invasion for specific colonists while the others fight. we need burrows

Dwarf Fortress has a feature that you can have people only work in certain areas and it works pretty damn well. I'd love to see something similar in Rimworld.

[cj9999]

YES, Please
do this!

It is quite annoying to load the game after the raids when you realize that some your idiotic colonist went to repair turret into middle of gunfire.

[Bruvvy]

Yeah, this would be awesome if It was added

[Bruvvy]

ehh

[MajorFordson]

Perhaps a new type of Zone to assign colonists to? Or an item where you set the radius that a certain colonist can move within?

Similar idea, but I would rather have a no-go zone, where you tell your people not to go. Don't want them to leave the base for a bit? Mark the entrance no go.

Work Zones would be nice

Yeah both would be great, I was thinking this today. The current system of the "home zone" constantly re-writing itself and you having to get in and change it every 5 seconds is completely annoying - just in order to stop your colonists going out past the blast doors.

Actually I prefer having multiple colonist specific home zones.

This allows the semblence of several colonies.

Are you talking about the home zone auto generating around your buildings? You know you can toggle that off, right?

I support that suggestion, it's almost a must have on advanced colony with big bad stuff waiting to kill my toons.
