In Rimworld sending a pawn to fetch some resources from nearby tiles is almost everytime a option.
But it feels kind of try hard to caravan outside of colony and farm every single tile for resources.
What if we could send pawns outside on their own and let them deal with dangers and options themselves ?
This is where [b]Go_Scout[/b] comes in! now you can prepare a pawn and send them to outside world with a [i]"goal"![/i]
these pawns, in other word [i]"scouts"[/i] are going to wander around world tiles around your colony and try to achieve their "goals".
[b][i][Inspired by Expedition assignment in FalloutShelter][/i][/b]
Scouts will encounter different events, dangers and resources depending on their location and goal!
they won't find lots of wood in desert, or lots of animals in ice sheet.
they will start having health problems depending of tile's temperature and pollution,
if careless enough they may encounter enemies and have to fight!
they can get kidnapped! worst case: they die(usually the case).
some encounters will challange the scout on various tasks like negotiation ability, hunting stealth(etc.)
they are also going to earn skill exp depending on the events they encounter!

[b]my pawn got stuck off-map! help![/b]
-open dev mode and use "force return scout"
[b]can be added mid-save ?[/b]
-yes sure
[b]can be removed mid-save ?[/b]
-call all scouts back to colony before removing, then it should be fine.
[b]do I need any DLC ?[/b]
-DLC's are [i]not required[/i] to safely open the mod, but still uses some quests if you have them
[b]why my hunter doesn't hunt ?[/b]
-give that hunter a gun that probably fixes it
