Mod that can start a new colony immediately after abandoning/losing one like in Dwarf Fortress?
I was thinking of Dwarf Fortress features that allows me to abandon a fortress and creates a new one in the same map. Now that I just lost yet another colony, I'm wondering if there's such mod in RimWorld that allows me to start a new one while continuing the save.

So if you're playing vanilla maps and not using reroller etc, maps will stay the same - so take note of the world's name and when you regenerate it on a new run and select the same tile, the map should be the same.

Of course, if you just want a do-over with your existing loadout, create a save when you start the game and hold onto it.

As far as continuing the save, you can abandon a colony at any time by selecting the colony from the world map and choosing the appropriate option - assuming your colonists have escaped the tile.

If you're a veteran and you know all that already, apologies. Unaware of a mod-specific solution, though if something like that exists, I'm sure someone will be along shortly.

Yep, I know all those you explained. No worries. I just thought it would be interesting when I can create a new crash land survivors on the old site. Or even better, settle on a nearby site and visit the old one after a while. This creates continuous storytelling and a reason to create a bigger (50-100%) map size.

You could always use the development menu to spawn in a few more pawns and just send them on a caravan to establish a new colony. Maybe give them a little bit of food as well to just make it easier. It's not the best way of doing it but possible without modding.

If there's an easier method like just getting a new cell without this and plopping down a colonist or 3 let me know.
