For me it stopped working not long after it stopped being supported, but I still remember it fondly. Not really the same sort of thing (lacks the teleport home, as a key one), but you might be interested in ‘Thralls are alive’ (assuming it’s currently working) - last I checked it had links on the workshop page to some youTube videos going into the features in some detail. But basically it allows you to set up ‘beds’ (or pillows plus eg a Nemedian rug as a sleeping mat) for a bunch of your thralls, and then set them various routines during the day - training, patrolling, standing around - and they will perform their preset activities at the set times (eg you could have one thrall train during the day, patrol in the evening and sleep at night). Thralls can at least be summoned back to the bed they are bound to - not exactly the ‘go home’ option sidekick offered, but can at least summon them back from wherever. The mod also allows for setting up resource gathering, and even some relatively complex logistics chains, theoretically even possible to fully automate, but it would mean planning the logistics chains with care as thralls can’t actually turn workstations on, so the stations (eg furnace) would need to be running already. Like I say, the videos should make it more clear
