Hello! I am 15 hours deep into a sea ice run. The luck of the gods got me a muffalo and another worthy pawn. I am looking for a mod that lets me enter an adjacent or farther tile to hunt/gather resources and return. I know I've seen one out there but my workshop search skills are failing. Any help is appreciated. Cheers.

The base game does allow for multiple colonies at once, but since that's CPU heavy it's normally disabled. Look around in the settings menu, there should be a slider that adjusts how many colonies you can have.
Just make a colony somewhere, pull whatever resources you want out of it, then abandon the colony after you move everyone out.
TIL. I had no idea. Thanks!
Vanilla Settlements Expanded lets you set up camps you don't actually have to physically tell them what to do at, and they'll automatically gather desired resources.
Thanks for the suggestion. I have seen this before but I'm doing a small family and everyone else is food.
can you share the link of this mod? I couldn't find it on Google or workshop. Maybe it's a different name than what you wrote? I've only found the Vannila Factions Expanded - Settlers, but didn't found in it's description the part you refered to (gathering automatically resources).
probably means vanilla outposts expanded

Vanilla Outposts Expanded is the mod I use to combat the mid-late game steel shortage. It allows to select a set of pawns and send them to a tile to collect a certain resource. You can recall those pawns back to your home settlement at anytime. The pawns in the outpost passively collect you whichever resource you've selected.
Highly worth checking out. If you always felt like rimworld was lacking an expansion/empire building stage, you'll like this one.
As another has stated. This is all base game. No mods needed. Simply adjust the slider option that sets maximum bases above 1. Then you can "settle" with a caravan and have 2 tiles being "rendered" at once where you can switch between them.
The Set Up Camp mod should do exactly what you want
Awesome, thank you. I tried this out (the [SYC] version and it was perfect.
