this is actually a lot of fun. sim city x starcraft. strategy to get resources built in the right order is a plus. The little laser fights are cute and if the kinks are smoothed out (ie. only one direction to place buildings when piping is already at the back side) it would be fun to see a 1v1 or 2v2 competition version for kicks.

Maybe remove the default 2 workers not starting with the 'Harvest' option on. Players just beginning aren't going to notice that two of their guys are essentially doing NOTHING most of the time. Also, this game left me wanting more. Add more levels please :D

So far, this game isn't very fun. I've had to restart the second level multiple times, because I can't figure out what I need to build. i run out of resources, but have no idea how to regenerate them. So then I have to restart, to guess what order to build random buildings in. And of course then I have to figure out this stupid piping...

this game sucks. I can't get pasted the 3rd lvl cause my workers won't do what they are supposed to do. They make it way to hard

Great game. 5/5. Some things you could add might be:
-pay some science to refresh colonist hire list, sometimes the choices suck
-rotate buildings
-better idea of how much food/oxygen is being consumed/produced

It would be great if you could destroy a building that you've created - especially geoscanners in the middle of an aquifer etc

massive improvments made. can now specify where to mine from and the electrical and water connections are much easier to read now. great job

awesome game so far, but why bother with output pipes at all? if we cant rotate them it leaves out alot of possibility. why not just allow pipes to attach to a building from any angle? then you could build over existing lines, by using the building as an extension. less clutter, less money spent on little things like rerouting around buildings, more time to spend money on important things, hence speeding the game up considerably.

Wish there was a way to rotate the screen or the buildings. A zoom in and out would be awesome. Besides this awesome game, lots of fun.

It seems sometimes power doesn't flow to a building despite it being connected, is there some sort of max range or something on the wires?; Yes I do have enough power for the building.

The only thing for me that is letting me down is the colonists ai, they keep randomly getting killed, which can lead to a mission failure

Ok just gave it another chance and the units still won't build things that you've ordered them to. Did you even play this game before you uploaded it?
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
no the most annoying is you cant play then when you can you have to right click then regular click to place buildings and get through chats with the assistant

Love the game. Needs to be a little bit longer and the controls for the colonists need to be debugged a little, but other than that, great game!

Uhm... Maybe I'm stupid or something, but where's the bit to save your game? >_>; Every time I reload, I have to start over. Makes achievements and later levels kind of pointless.

@Shazbut, hit esc or click the Menu button in game (top left), and the Music and Sound FX icons will appear at the top right; click them as you like.

What about saving the game? I finished a couple of missions, then had to put it down, and the game made me restart from the beginning. WTF?

This game has so much potential, yet requires extreme micromanaging like pipelines and straying units. For newer players, you'd have to figure out what works with what, and how you should build things. Maybe a tutorial level or a sandbox mode for players to experiment, with a build tree map?

Well, once I understood that I was supposed to connect the pipeline to specific places on the buildings, I got past the first mission. That ought to be in the tutorial, surely? For the second mission, I have absolutely no idea why my people won't finish hooking up the Oxygen Station to the networks, the pipes are just sitting there unbuilt. I think there's a good game trying to get out here, but I don't understand how to get at it.
