    ... when you have to give up a brilliant starting location when a new version rolls?

    I even made a save game for my most recent colony before any other action... Nearby iron/coal spot, nearby copper... fairly accessible zinc... even a relatively close gold mine!

    But my colony has descended into the standing still until starvation spiral... When 43A rolls I will try to see if my seed game will load without crashing...

    Your seed is unusable once versions change.

    What do you need a gold mine for? I can't seem to get rid of the stuff fast enough :p

    Can never have enough competing churches led by different cult leaders who each believe in conflicting eldritch elder beings.

    Wouldn't be a growing colony if there wasn't 100 different churches that splintered from the previous after such events as heated disputes about what colour diving helmet the great fish god(s) command followers to wear.

    I feel Nwabudike Morgan summed it up best:
    • You ivory tower intellectuals must not lose touch with the world of industrial growth and hard currency. It is all very well and good to pursue these high-minded scientific theories, but research grants are expensive. You must justify your existence by providing not only knowledge but concrete and profitable applications as well.
