It's probably been said before but hear me out, I wasn't thinking a super advanced mod but maybe just a mod that allows you to research a land rover and a raft. You can hitch the raft onto the rover and send 2 (maybe 4) survivors to other parts of the world, I mean why let us generate a 400x400 map and know we are only going to use 1-5 places? So think of it like this:
*If you don't like reading, Stryker has an excellent summary in the comments!*

You just researched the raft and the land rover. Four of your best builders are now working to build them... after three hours of extremely hard and vigorous welding, they have built the rover and the raft! One of them now hitches the raft to the rover. You now select your three best shooters and best doctor, equipping them with your finest weapons, 2 M16s, an M24, and a plasteel knife. They all get into the rover and head off to uncharted territory *You load in the zone as if you just generated it although you spawn where you went off the side of yours (If that makes sense) and you just keep on going. A few days later, tired and running out of food, you find a base! You are unsure if they are friendly or hostile so you stop the rover behind a mountain and head up to them on foot. (I forgot to mention, all four of your survivors are drafted when they get into the rover or raft) one of the strangers notice you and take aim at one of your men. All of your troops run to the cover of a hole in a mountain! As the hostiles light your men up you decide to send your sniper mining through the mountain. He gets to the other side and he fires at your attackers, incapacitating two forcing two others to drag them to their medical bay allowing your troops to advance on the outpost. Suddenly, a sniper gets a lucky shot on one of your soldiers but being quickly disposed of by your sniper. Your medic runs up to your incapacitated soldier and takes cover behind a sandbag away whilst preforming first aid on your incapacitated soldier on the front lines.Your sniper incapacitates another and killing another. Your final assaultee charges in, destroying the front door with a mirage of bullets. He goes to the medical bay and fires upon two unsuspecting doctors, clearing out the outpost other than 4 incapacitated enemies. Your medic quickly drags your wounded troop into the medical bay and puts him into a bed. You find out, his liver had been shot and he needs a new one. So using your doctoring skills, you remove one of the incapacitated hostile's liver, killing him, and implant it into your soldiers. After a day he is able to walk and you quickly go back to your rover and return home before reinforcements show up.

Awesome post and idea, the story was a bit lengthy so I'll summarize it as if I was the one who made this post:
I think it would be really cool if we have vehicles that could take us to other worlds, basically from our base area to another area - say another faction's base and take us back to our base, a portal if you will.

Jeah!
That would be nice.
playing as an pirate faction, and raiding other outsider colonys..

This has been said before, and almost unanimously voted as an AWESOME idea. This is possibly the most requested and favored idea ever suggested. I wouldn't consider the game truly complete without it.

It most likely WILL be done, but not for a while, as a big new feature like this would probably take months to code alone.

Thats a great story, only one problem with it. all AI players have better aim then your lvl 20 shooters. so in reality, all of your men die because none of them can out shoot the lvl 1 shooters the AI has.

Maybe a nerf on there accuracy then because I have noticed this, my maxed out troops dying to people with a range of 3-6 in shooting.

this would be epic

Another thing I could see coming from this is just expansion of your Colony in general, almost like a tile based RTS game. I don't think this should be added until we have a colonist reproductive system so then you can be managing more than one colony per world.
