Should we add human NPCS as residents to our bases?

I love the building aspects of this game! I stayed up trying to perfect the look of my cabin and now planning to build a castle on my third base after next successful level. But I'm curious, would the human NPCS be given an option to join our little base and build a new town settlement? The "Reincarnated Guy" would a good Sheriff in my town IMO.
They could also earn one of your pals as a reward and become companions as they do jobs with other humans as chefs, farmers, miners, etc. They could even patrol on your territory outside for a limited amount of time in the day/night.

Kidnap merchants to live in your base so that you don't have to go to their towns when you need to Buy or Sell

i'd totally want that. i'm disappointed we cant make use of human gunners, really hurts the sandbox aspect of wanting to play as you like

I meant like a building sim that dont resort to capturing human NPCS. I am quite aware of this funny joke, but since this game is still early access, chances are theyre probably going to add some penalties such as your head be on a bounty hunters list (LOL).
Adding actual residents to live with you, and yourself as mayor, would be a suggestion for building your own little human civilization/faction.

Would love this!

that sounds nice

That one guard who says they'd do anything makes it seem like they should let us pay them to come guard our base or live there or something. That would be a nice way to get some humans in our own base without the need to capture them. I don't want them to remove that freedom, but adding a way to get humans into your base would be cool actually.

Do some quests and certain merchants setup in your base. build them a store and stuff. That would be really neat actually.

Might be a fine addition, but I don't see this as a priority. Residents in games like Dwarf Fortress and Rimworld are basically slaves anyway, so there's not much of a difference from catching them in palballs. Fixing captured mini-gunners would be nice though.
