This is a good idea. Let's wait for the updates 😁

Would love to hire rogues to guard the base and some to tend to gardens

With as nasty as base raids are I would like the option to hire dwarves or something to help patrol my base.

Yeah, it'd make the game more lively. They already have a "Trader" NPC technically. But some that you could put in your own setups would make the game feel more alive.
